29. Ember
Chapter twenty-nine
Ember
I was woken up by Onyx being inside of me and breathing heavily, staring into my eyes. The only thing that ran through my mind was, Did he just bring one of my bucket list fantasies to life? I fucking hope so. I wasn't really surprised to find one of them inside of me when I woke up. But how did he even know that I would want to be fucked, while I was asleep? The only person that knew about it was me, my diary and Vee. Vee wouldn't have told him. Would she? It's not like I can ask her about it.
Shit that's right, tonight is that Halloween party. I wasn't too thrilled about going to it at first. But, as the days disappeared when I was actually picking out my costume, then with the day of the party approaching ever so vastly, the more and more excited I became .
I run to my room in the guys' penthouse and head straight for the bathroom. I don't have time to shower. So, instead, I just opted to pee really quick, feeling the warmth of cum drip on my thigh. Then get started on my hair and make-up for this Halloween Party. The guys are going as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Go figure, of course they, would. Wings, horns, fangs, pointy ears and all. I, on the other hand, am going as an Elven Slave who so happens to be enslaved by the Four Horsemen.
My outfit is an all black Nile dancer, with two slits from my ankles up to my hip. There are built in shorts and the top is a halter, crop top. I can't wear a bra or panties with this outfit or else it would look funny. My elven ears are long and pointy. My brown curly hair is in a half up and half down look, with a silver moon headband. A simple cat winged-eyeliner in black, with long black lashes, and black eyeliner on my waterline. There are also black leather handcuffs around my wrist and a black leather collar with a large silver d-ring. I decided against wearing shoes because nothing looked right with my outfit. So, instead, I am going barefoot with a chain and emerald anklets around my ankles that connect to my middle toes.
Taking one last look into the mirror at myself. I never noticed before now that since I have had the guys around that I have been so happy. My eyes seem brighter and there is always a smile on my face, no matter what when I think of them. Am I in…. Shaking that thought from my head, I grab my phone and head to the living room.
Walking down that hallway towards the living room, I can already hear the guys talking about what they think I will be wearing. None of them have guessed this yet.
Rounding the corner, "I'm ready." they all turn to face me, the room goes silent, wide eyed and jaws open.
"Umm. You. Ummm. Look.." Aspen stutters.
"Stunning." Onyx says with a wink.
"Gorgeous." Ezra answers.
"Delectable." Blaze discloses, licking his lips and adjusting his cock, in his pants.
"I was going to say, ravishing." Aspen states with a smile and with a little flush to his cheeks. I returned his smile.
"Let's go have a hell of a time." I cheer.
We got back to the penthouse earlier than we planned around 10pm, cutting the evening short. People were relentless in wanting to come up to me about Vee, and I couldn't handle it anymore. It got so bad that Onyx started a fight with about half of the people who came up to me about Vee. I didn't even know these people either. Aspen said it's probably because I am always around them, and everyone is trying to kiss their asses, or they all know I'm the Don of the Chertanov Bratva by now. All because of fucking Orlov going around and telling everyone how I am going to fuck shit up or get myself killed or that a women shouldn’t run a man’s business.
Other than that, I had a pretty good time. I danced with all of my guys and had two drinks. The guys' costumes were amazing. They looked almost life-like with horns protruding from their head and wings adorning their back. Blaze even went as far as having afive foot tail like a damn alligator.I didn't want to get wasted, but wanted to feel buzzed. But when we got home, I just wanted to shower, relax with everyone while watching a movie. That's what I did. I went to shower while the guys set up for a movie night.
I am getting out of the shower and toweling myself off when I hear the murmur of heated voices coming from the living room. My room is literally down the long hallway and their voices are carrying like they are outside of my bedroom. I am not sure what got the guys in a tizzy, but it sounds bad. It could be about Onyx fighting with all of those people at the party.
I put on my matching sleep shorts and cami, they are all black with neon green bats all over them. I throw on some black fluffy Baphomet head slippers, with a neon green pentagram on his forehead and open my door to start heading to the living room for movie night. That is when I hear their conversation fully.
One of them, I believe it's Ezra, who says, “You are the god damn God of Death, and one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Yet, you choose to stalk a mere mortal, and now you want a relationship with her. Knowing that isn't possible, we are demons, not mortals.” My breath gets stuck in my lungs. Onyx is who?
"Why stalk her Onyx?" Aspen chastised. My pulse quickens as my panic starts to set in. I know they haven't changed their looks since I was sixteen, but I thought it was because they had good family genes. My mind replaying the last few months and years, trying to pick apart every encounter, wondering what I missed.
"I know that I am the Demon God Death and a part of The fucking Four Horsemen. I have stalked her for years now, I was always fascinated by her and drawn to her for some reason. I could never figure out why. I still don't know why. Plus, Blaze has known about this obsession for years and has never thrown such a tantrum like you two!" Onyx grumbles. Keeping my footstep as silent as I can, I creep a little closer to their conversation, holding my breath.
"Hey, don't bring me into this." Blaze commands with a huff. I stop dead in my tracks right before the corner, replaying what they just said.
"You know demons and mortals can't mate." Aspen says with a stern tone lacing his voice.
"Yes I know that. Thank you, Captain Obvious. But I know I am not the only one of The Four Horsemen that feels this way about her." Onyx implies, and they all go quiet. Is this fight about me or something else and I am just now in the middle of it all?
"What the fuck! You guys are really The Four Horsemen?" I say, rounding the corner to head into the living room. All eyes fall on me now and not in the way I was hoping for tonight.
"Yes." They all reply with their heads hanging low.
"What the fuck? You guys have gotta be joking. Demons, Four Horsemen, they are all myths." I say with a hysterical laugh, but it quickly fades when I see the serious looks on all of their faces.
I start shaking my head. "No, no, no, this can't be real." Too much has happened in the past couple of months. I lost both my parents, my sister was kidnapped, my second father and best friend murdered, and now this. I can't do this. I can't handle this shit right now. You can not tell me demons and The Four Horsemen are real. I'm going to go insane.
"Let us explain everything, love." Blaze says, grabbing my hand. I jerked away my hand so fast he didn’t have time to hold it in his grasp.
"Don't you fucking touch me! I need to go." I exploded, the betrayal fueling my anger. Spinning on my heels, I grab my phone and run away without a second look. That's what I have always been good at, running away.
"Ember, wait!" Is all I hear as tears start running down my cheeks and I am running like my life depends on it.
After running from their penthouse, I ran down the stairs on the back side to get out the back door. I wanted to get out of there so bad. They lied to me about who they were. They aren't even humans.
What the fuck! They're the real fucking Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
I thought all of that shit was a myth. But they just told me it's not. How the fuck did they think I would react? "Oh, that's so cool," and then everything would be normal. Fuck that. This is some strange shit. Those weren't just costumes, they were all real. Their real wings, their real horns, and their real fangs.
No, I should've probably stayed and talked to them about it. But, once I heard them saying who they were after bitching out Onyx for stalking a mere mortal like me. Like I was some sort of plague and worthless. I had no clue he was the one stalking me and the one leaving the green and black roses with malachite jewelry or just the stone.
To be honest, I had always thought it was Papa. But I got the roses the day of their funera,l so I thought it was Vee, continuing the ruse. Turns out I was wrong and it was Onyx. Oh my God. Onyx is the horsemen of death, Blaze is the horsemen of war, Ezra is the horsemen of pestilence and Aspen is the horsemen of famine. It was never just a saying that people called them in the Mafia.
If that is who they really are, then why are they here on Earth? Why were they working with the Chertanov Bratva? Why my family? Why me?
Walking normally helps me think over everything when I'm pissed off or have a lot to think about. But, this is something completely new, and I don't know how to handle this. So, much has happened in the last hour.
The men I am falling in love with are The Four Horsemen of the fucking Apocalypse.
