Crazy Seduction(erotica)

He frowned at her. “Not anymore. Are you going to kill me now?”

Minkah didn’t know what she was going to do. “What do you mean, not anymore?”

“Listen, I don’t have the strength to explain. I have nothing left. If I don’t get something to eat, I’m gonna pass out. If you’re going to shoot me, go ahead. Otherwise, can you show me where I can get some food?” Henry asked weakly.

With a frustrated scowl, Minkah gestured for him to step out into the hall. With a moan, he stood and swayed. It looked like he was struggling to stay on his feet as he reached the doorway.

Henry paused as he looked at the next two room numbers. The people locked in rooms four and five deserved their freedom as well. Free from the unending pain and sadness. He looked to his current jailor. “My name is Henry.”

She gave him a cautious look. “Minkah.”

He nodded, then gestured to the two doors. “Minkah, these two deserve to be free.” When he saw her getting upset, he shook his head. “Sorry, I didn’t mean they should come with us. It’s too late for them. Their minds are gone.” She gave him a skeptical look, and he sighed.

“The doctor drugged me, and my mind left my body and went visiting. All rooms on that side of the hall are empty, and only the first six on this side had people in them. The doctor killed the first two rooms’ occupants with a cursed dagger, just as an experiment. DJ, a Djinn Baba Yaga brought from the past, was in room three, but I got him out.” He gestured to room five. “This one is trapped in a state of unending agony.” Then he pointed to four. “There’s a Human woman there who’s stuck in a cycle of intense despair. She’s desperate to join her family on the other side.” He looked to Minkah. “I’m going to assume you’re a trained assassin. Could you give them some mercy? I don’t know who will take over running this place, but I can’t risk them continuing to torture these people like this.”

“If I don’t-”

“I will,” he said firmly, as he braced himself against the wall.

She held his eye and realized he was completely serious. He looked like he might fall down at any second, but he’d spend his limited energy on mercy killing these two. She found herself nodding, so he opened the doors and held their hands as Minkah performed the coup de grâce on the two.

She led him out of the containment ward and down the hall to the cafeteria. He moved slowly and leaned against the wall all the way. By the time they reached the large room, his eyes weren’t tracking so well, and he needed to pause a few times before he made it to a table.

“Stay here. I’ll see what’s available,” Minkah said, and he just nodded.

She raided the fridge and found a full box of day-old powdered donuts. She brought them back to the table and flipped open the package before him.

Henry focused on the food before him and began to mechanically lift the stale donuts to his mouth. He barely chewed as he swallowed one after another.

She brought him a few large bottles of some no-name cola. Once he polished off the box of donuts, he drank the three colas. Letting out a mighty burp, he apologized then smiled gratefully to her.

“That was truly awful, but the sugar and caffeine should keep me on my feet for a short time. Thank you,” Henry said quietly. She gave him a quick nod. “What’s next?” he asked.

She frowned. “What do you mean?”

“You work for the Council. This is their prison, and I was one of their prisoners because you drugged me and brought me here.” He paused as he looked at her calmly, then continued. “I need to get back to my friends as they’re probably worried and doing daring things to rescue me. I don’t want them to get into trouble or be in danger.” He frowned as his re-energized brain suddenly remembered a more significant threat. “Shit! Mab! She’s preparing another major extermination spell! She’s going after the Fae first. She’s going to kill them, then she’s going after everyone else. She’s completely unhinged, and now she’s powered by much stronger magic!”

“How do you know this?” Minkah asked.

“When I first got here, and they drugged me, I went to visit Mab when I felt her fucking around with the Wild Magic. I found her castle, and she attacked me. She told me she was almost ready to launch her killer spell. I’ve been here too long. I need to stop her,” he said a little shakily.

“Why you?” Minkah asked.

“What?”

“Why does it have to be you?” she asked.

Henry slowly blinked as he felt the food begin to feed energy back into his body. He sighed. “Here is where I need to ask you to take a leap of faith that what I’m about to tell you is completely true. We don’t have time for messing about with long-winded explanations. Mab and I are linked to the same dimension of Wild Magic. At her party in New York, where she grabbed all those Human celebrities, she tricked me into helping her create a baby, a daughter, and Mab switched bodies with her. Then she aged our daughter’s body to its teen years. For endangering the Fae and breaking her deal with me, she was dethroned, and she wants revenge for that and for how we destroyed her original plans. Basically, she wants to kill us and everyone else. I don’t know how she’s going to do it, but it involves the Wild Magic. I felt her experiments. I have to stop her.”

Minkah watched Henry’s eyes and knew he believed every word he was saying. The Minister of Security likely had no idea of what Mab was up to. She decided she was going to take that leap Henry mentioned, but she had a condition.

“I’ll help you, but you must never leave my side. You must give me your word that you’ll remain in my custody while we do this. Afterward, we speak with the Hidden Races Council directly to present your case,” she said firmly.

Henry blinked at her. “Ah, okay. That works for me. I give my word, as long as my friends are not hurt or persecuted by the council for anything they might do to protect me.”

“I can only promise that I won’t take any action against them,” Minkah insisted.

Henry nodded. “Fine. I can feel the junk food picking me up, but this won’t last. Can we go? Oh! What about the ogres, I mean orderlies?”

“I’ll deal with them,” she pulled Henry to his hooves. “You might want to change back into your glamor.”

Henry nodded. “Right.” He was suddenly Human again but wobbled on his sneaker covered feet. A white t-shirt and jeans completed his default glamor. Minkah nodded as she liked what she saw as she braced his body against hers. She pushed that thought aside as he stabilized and took deep breaths. “I’ll be okay. Let’s go.”

They made their way to the garage, where Henry looked in dismay at the piece of junk subcompact they’d be driving back to the city. “Is this safe to drive on the highway?” he asked, worried about pieces falling off, like a wheel.

“They got it here, so I assume it’s roadworthy,” she sighed.

“Maybe they brought it here on one of those flatbed tow trucks,” he suggested.

“Let’s go,” she replied shortly.

With a worried glance at her, he moved to the passenger door, but it was locked. Minkah opened her door, sat behind the wheel, and reached over to unlock the door. Henry pulled on the handle again with no luck. Minkah used the handle on the inside to open it.

Henry didn’t voice his concerns again as he could see the anger in Minkah’s lovely eyes.

“She’s dead, yes?”

It took a second for Henry to respond as he connected the dots to the administrator, but he got it. “Y-yes.”

“Good,” Minkah sighed as she started the engine with the key left in the ignition switch.

The tiny engine started and sounded smooth enough, though the car vibrated oddly. Henry popped the glove box and pulled out a manual for the vehicle. He scanned the first few pages. “It’s a 1984 Chevy Sprint. It’s only got three cylinders!”

“Put that away,” Minkah snapped as she noted the gas gauge indicated less than a quarter tank. She assumed that was enough to get them to the gas station near the interstate entrance.

She drove them into the elevator, and her hope that it was automatic was answered when the platform began to rise. When it stopped, they heard the sharp burst of an automatic weapon being fired. Henry’s eyes widened as the garage door opened on a chaotic scene. The big orderlies were before the door facing someone to the right. One of the brutes struggled to hold his machine gun with broken hands. After firing a final burst, they threw down the spent weapons and dropped their glamors to rush forward into a fight between Weres and Silver People. There had to be a little more than a dozen of each though it was hard to count the Silver People as they moved so damn quick. The Weres were trying to fight them and occasionally managed to get in a lucky hit or two, but they only knocked them off their feet momentarily.

The Were’s fighting was wild and undisciplined, so Henry assumed they couldn’t have been Roy’s men.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

When the ogres entered the fray, it got even messier. One of the Weres was grabbed and ripped in two, splashing blood and gore across the two Ogres. This just sent them into a crazed frenzy.

Minkah edged the small car out of the garage, but the engine caught a dozen bullets and immediately died.

“Get out and go to the back of the garage. Find a safe place to hide. I have to take out the shooters,” Minkah said.

She saw him exit and slipped out her door. She rushed to the edge of the door and peeked out. The shooters had to be on the edge of the forest. She holstered her guns. She’d need to switch to get out of the garage.

Glancing back, she saw Henry tucking himself against the back wall. She smiled.

Good boy.

Henry scrambled to get out and stayed low as he rushed back to lean against the wood boards of the outer wall. He made himself as small as he could. He looked to the open garage doors and caught the blur of a black cat running outside and disappearing.

“Henry?”

His head whipped around to stare at the wall. “Meixiu?”

“I’m here! Are you injured? We saw the green light,” she cried through the wall.

Henry held back his sob of relief as his friends were here. Then he was immediately worried about them. “You need to get out of here! I don’t think these are Roy’s pack, I don’t know who these Silver People are, and there are two insane Ogres as well.”

“Step back from the wall,” she called out.
