Poison Orchid

Chapter 19

When Gabriel and Petrov entered the room they did not find something unusual. Nothing was strange or random and of course it had not been cleaned. They could have contacted the cleaning services and asked for a housemaid once a week but unfortunately with Regina in the house Gabriel could not even think of something like this, because the poor girl would have been either drained or sucked so dry that she would be nothing but a mindless machine who would be alive only to serve Regina. But that was not the pressing issue at the moment.

When Gabriel and Petrov went upstairs, they confronted a scene for which they were not prepared at all. Regina was on her knees with her hands bound behind her back and she was sucking on the c**k of someone. Rather she was there getting her face f****d with rough abandon and Regina was choking on the massive tool and her eyes were watering. Gabriel himself was feeling merciful seeing her condition and disgusted at the rough treatment that was going on with a woman who was old enough to be his mother. Gabriel was on the verge of going inside the room when Petrov pulled him from behind and said, “Don’t. We need to know about the perpetrator.”

But neither Regina nor the man who was doing this was aware of the fact that they were being watched. So the oral s*x continued oblivious to the fact there were guests, and they were being subjected to voyeurism without their knowledge. The man was wearing a dark long trench coat with a hood covering and obscuring his face and there were no other clothes on his body. Not even his feet could be seen and the only organ which was visible to the brothers was the massive d**k which was almost eight inches long, thick and curved. The face f*****g continued which seemed like an eternity to Gabriel but in reality it was just for sometime which seemed like that because the scene only disgusted him. Suddenly the ramming stopped and semen spewed out of the head of the c**k and filled Regina’s open mouth and the excess dribbled down the corners of her mouth. What the most surprising thing was, the liquid that flowed out was black in colour and was not thick or viscous like normal semen generally is.

Gabriel looked and wished he could collect it for testing, but immediately after the ejaculation the trench coat dropped down on the floor with a thwack sound and as if there was no one existing in the room except Regina the creature disappeared in thin air. Petrov’s eyes bulged out as if they would pop out on the floor. And as soon as the creature disappeared the ropes with which Regina’s hands were tied miraculously disappeared and she lay down on the floor as if tired from the exertion that had happened with her. Probably for the first time in his life Petrov felt pity for his mother who had no idea that he was her son, whom she wanted to murder at birth.

If this was the life that his father wanted from the woman who would be by his side then Gabriel’s mother was lucky to have not faced this curse and lived to see these days and to face this kind of s****l humiliation and torture. Regina showed that she had a lot of power but finally she was so weak and tortured. She was nothing else than a slave to someone else’s wishes and desires. She was simply a toy to be used for other men’s pleasure in whichever way they wanted to have her.

Gabriel went down the stairs uptil midway and then called out,”Reginaaaaaa…. Where are you?”

Petrov was carefully monitoring Regina’s every movement from the unclosed door. Hearing Gabriel’s voice Regina did not spend a moment on the floor and got up and wiped her face and looked into the mirror to make sure that her attire was presentable. And Petrov knocked the half-open door before going inside. Gabriel followed him shortly in the room.

“Regina…. I thought that you did not want to sleep or stay in this room after what you faced yesterday night. But now seeing you in this room doesn’t seem so. So what happened that you are back in this room once more?”asked Gabriel.

Nothing in their expression revealed that they had seen the whole s****l scene a few minutes ago or they knew that Regina was strongly linked with whatever was brewing behind the scenes.

“I came back to the room to pack my things, my liege. And I thought that in the daylight probably nothing would harm me,” answered Regina.

“But you forget Regina that our kind needs to stay safer in daylight. Our home is shuttered and windows are blocked in such a way that no sunlight can filter inside the rooms. You are too old a vampire in order to be this careless or reckless. Not a problem. Take and pack your things and go to the room in the attic which I said in which you will stay. And stay off this room because we would need to investigate what is wrong with this room. And please inform before barging in,” said Petrov.

Regina nodded her head like the pretty good girl that Gabriel wanted her to behave and went out slowly from the room and went upstairs on the other side of the corridor, her heels softly tapping and not the high click which previously could be heard in the castle on the stone floors. Petrov thought that she was really a chameleon, which was the reason why she had survived so many years being able to keep her power and position.

Once her footsteps couldn’t be heard anymore, Petrov locked the door and came back to the point where they had removed the wooden board and the marble slab was visible with a pentagram drawn on it.

“That man was standing just on the top of this marble,” commented Gabriel, mentioning his observation.

Petrov nodded his ascent and said, “I could not even see that where she stuffed the trench coat, she was so damn fast. And Brother that thing spilled in her mouth was black in colour, my goodness what thing was that, we should have truly caught them while doing it.”

“Whatever it was, it looked very vile and it smelled vile too. Moreover this whole room smells of s*x and burnt sulphur which is a very odd combination but we need to check out the source of that smell,”

“But that means we need to dig up the whole damn floor in order to find this stuff out and that will create a lot of ruckus at this point of time,” said Petrov.

“I don’t think that we need to do that much you know Petrov. I think opening the slab will open a Pandora’s Box for us. But I can see that there is a spy cam installed with painting above the mirror and if I am not wrong then your mother at this moment is probably looking at us from the room in the attic. So I think we should do something only after that is removed. Otherwise our sweet Mother darling would be two steps ahead of us like she always is. This time Petrov there is no room for callousness and reluctance, “said Gabriel.

“What do you want me to do Brother at this point of time?”asked Petrov.

“Distract her, so that I can buy enough time to disconnect the camera and get under that slab in order to know what the hell is happening,” replied Gabriel.

“I can do that but I can’t allow you to go under that slab alone and unprotected without me. This is not done Brother. You have no….” protested Petrov but his protests were interrupted by Gabriel just with a wave of hand and a killer smile.

“Brother, you forget that it is you who is under my protection and not the reverse. It is not that I don’t know the risks but I need someone to be here who is able my back in my absence. And you know very well that I trust no one and I also know this that you are not going to let me down in any way. So can you do this much Brother?” asked Gabriel.

“If you ask me to walk in the dawn for you I can do that too. My life means nothing to myself but your life is and has been always been more to me, and will be so. Then how can you ask me to be reluctant with your life?” asked Petrov.

“Sometimes you just need to take the leap of faith Petrov and it is the time for that. Just have faith and do as I ask. Give me this much Brother,” said Gabriel.

“What you ask of me I shall do it, but know this that I am nor doing this by my choice. It is only because you insist on this, I am doing this,” said Petrov with a sullen face.

“That is what I ask of my Brother. Nothing more and nothing less.”

Petrov hugged Gabriel once and left the room. Gabriel went after him to his own room and after a few minutes he went to the attic and found Regina and Petrov engaged in conversation and found that Regina was trying to seduce Petrov at her earnest and Petrov was going along keeping her away from the laptop screen.

The speed at which Gabriel moved was probably far faster than even light. He entered the room in which the Regina was f****d sometime earlier. The first thing he did was to tear off the spy cam at the corner of the painting and the next thing he did was to wrench open the marble slab on which the pentagram was drawn with his bare hands and not to his surprise, he was absolutely correct in saying that there was a trapdoor beneath the slab.

Gabriel removed the cobwebs from the trapdoor and the heavy knocker. It was a copper knocker, which had lost its lustre with time. And Gabriel carefully noticed the shape of the knocker, it was the face of a joker’s mask in its skeletal form and devil’s horns protruding from its head. It was a typical and odd design and it might incur fear in the hearts of some as well. But right at that moment Gabriel did not have the time to be afraid even.

He opened the trapdoor which was refusing to budge even an inch and then slowly moved it and pulled it up holding its knocker. Below the trapdoor it was too dark to see anything even, but Gabriel’s vision was stronger than that of any normal being because his sight was modified by the dark forces and nature in order to be able to hunt in the darkness of night.

Beneath the trap door there was a rope ladder which was threadbare and was hardly in a condition to hold on his weight. So Gabriel jumped down the square opening full well knowing that the drop would be quiet low. When he landed on his feet he understood that this was in the basement of the house and the drop must have been minimum of about 50 feet.

The first look at his surroundings made him understand that this was not a normal person’s house at all and whoever owned it previously or even now was practicing dark arts. But how did Regina come to know about this particular house which was in the same town where the girls were being murdered and that too they shifted to the only house which was a bit far away from the town ,isolated and Heavens know what else has happened here. But whatever has happened down here was nothing good at all and it was pure dabbling in dark sorcery which they were forbidden to associate themselves with.

His thoughts were interrupted with the broken wooden chair flying at him.
