Jesus and The Beast
September 28th 2008 06:19
The Beast was in Hell.
The Torture Halls.
Helpless moans, sharp, sudden screams and the stink of heat surrounded her. The walls were a soft tan rock, the many victims hung upon the walls. By the hundreds, they moaned, screamed, jibbered, and confessed.
She wandered the halls, darkly flickering with an unseen light that only served to flick vicious shadows over her form. Down here, she was not fine and lovely as she was in Purgatory - down here, the Beast wore her true face. She was ghastly.
The eyes were still green but they were massive and glittering in a face of black, charred looking skin. The cheeks and jaw were too sharp, too hard, even though the lips were still red. They dripped, as did the icy pale fangs hanging below the mottled lips.
The shoulders were monstrously broad, the body still roughly feminine with curves and breasts but so elongated and deformed with muscle it was barely humanoid. Her wings stretched behind her in monstrous, alien like reptilian skin.
Aaahh....Here. She paused. Hung on the wall was someone she knew. The Lesser. Like her.
"Stephen," she whispered sweetly, her human face suddenly materializing upon the shocking form, and the poor soul strung to the rock opened his eyes.
Like all the others he was hung stretched to capacity, wrists and ankles at their furthest stretch. The shackles dug in, causing the spiritual form to bleed artistic patterns across the fetching tan rock. The jagged light flickered and the Beast saw he wore a form at least a thousand years old. Her pretty brows frowned.
"What do you here, in this form?"
He gasped, seemed like he might cry. She touched his face with a suddenly human hand. "Why tell me, my friend. Dont you know, I am here to free you."
He looked into her face, and she smiled as she saw his pain eased by her beauty. He took a deep breath. "I am being punished.....For the betrayal. You were there"
The Beast frowned. She had indeed, been there. They had been in an army together, Stephen had betrayed them for cash. The Beast had survived, but the governing general had slaughtered Stephen's family. He must have lived a long and comfortable life before he got here.
But why was he here? The lesser couldnt be here unless they put themselves here.
She shrugged to herself. It made little difference. She watched his face, and he was relaxed. Believing she would indeed, free him.
She allowed the human parts to dissolve back to their true form. Before Stephen could gasp in horror she had extended her long claws and plunged them into his chest. He screamed. She pulled her horrid face up close.
"Why you are here, I do not know. You know as well as I that your form is fluid - you do not have to bear the halls. Still, I shall take my chance for revenge when I can have it."
"I.." Stephen choked on blood, "I felt so bad"
"That is your choice!" She hissed, understanding now, digging her claws in further and enjoying the sick, wet tearing sounds. He had punished himself. No one went to hell unless they specifically asked for it.
Still, she grinned, feeling her claws rip through bone, there were lots of ways to ask for it.
Suddenly, Stephen's tearing flesh seemed to evapourate between her fingers. She loked about, and saw only whirling vortex. Spaceshifted, and she found herself sitting on a rock in a green, wild area near a waterfall that tricked softly into a pool. Though there appeared to be no where for the water to go, it didnt seem to get too full.
Her form was human again - its most angelic representation. She wore a white robe....
Oh Crap! I know where I am!
The Beast noticed Jesus sitting beside the pool, looking into the water. He turned to her. His eyes were deep and dark and full of soul as Lucifer's were souless.
"The Lord be with you" said Jesus softly.
"Oh Fuck you"
Jesus sighed. Before he could speak again the Beast lost it. "What the fuck am I doing here anyway? Im not supposed to be able to cross the barrier unless Im dead. You cant just -"
"You went to hell."
The Beast shut up. They sat in silence. Finally the Beast broke "What the fuck do you want anyway?"
Jesus sighed. "You gave in to Lucifer"
She grinned, "Did I?"
He frowned, "This has got to stop. This is how you BECAME a Beast. You say it but you dont mean it. Its against the rules."
Sulking, the Beast said nothing.
"Your body misses you"
"Oh Come on!" The Beast spat, "Like I care what it thinks!"
"Honestly, it does. You dont spend very much time in it at all. You are always in the ether. No wonder it doesnt do as you ask. You should spoil it a little."
"I do"
"Im not talking about smearing it in crap to serve your vanity and power. Im talking about loving it. Feeling the swish of blood through every vessel. Enjoying air in your lungs."
"Only when its full of smoke"
Jesus sighed. "I called you up here to -"
"I know, I know, and thankyou very much mister Saviour, I know you love me, you died for me...Yadda Yadda Yadda....can I go now?"
"Im not stopping you"
The Beast realized he was not. But something about the sound of the water...Like she didnt want to leave until the song was finished.
"Somethings wrong" She blurted suddenly. Jesus raised his eyebrows. Hesistantly, she went on, "I live each day, and it seems....I cant find the destiny I wrote, I , I know it was supposed to be...Something different, but I cant find it...."
"That is no different to any other human"
"I AM NOT ANY HUMAN!!" she roared, and for a moment her skin blackened and her eyes widened. That made Jesus just a little nervous......She could rip this place to shreds in her fury.
Jesus stood, and came to sit next to her, arm around her shoulders. The Beast remained ridgid, unyeilding. "Beastly one..." whispered Jesus in her ear, "You are a Beast. You can be nothing else. Be between us, as it is what you were created to be..."
"The Lesser are on Earth"
"Yes" Jesus agreed, "But you knew that"
"I wasnt expecting to run into one."
Jesus knew she referred to The Player. "That was Lucifer" He replied darkly, "And you did ask to see them....For proof"
She had. "But....But what next?"
Jesus kissed her softly on the mouth, "Have you ever known?"
At that, the Beast smiled, feeling his arms disappear as she tumbled....Not opening her eyes, but the singing of wind told her she was back in the caverns.
The Torture Halls.
