Leadem, Christopher

"The Mantooth"

She would betray
the one she loved most. Until she made him feel her pain, thinking
nothing of his own---
'I don't care!' she cried, raging, the three words which so
often precede the worst that we are. And though they were not entirely
true in her case, the tragic end is often identical.
She would go through with the evil act. She would do it.






Chapter 47

That night Kalus dreamed he was alone in a dark cave, too small and dank
for a man. But the light rose slowly through a stone-lipped entrance,
and he saw a familiar form beside him as he sank into the wall, to
watch. Kamela lay with three cubs beside her. But two had been turned
to stone. He struggled to wake himself, because he knew what was to
come.
A large wolf entered, looking black, and bared its yellow fangs.
Another stood guard outside as the earth parted to admit the terrible
and magnificent bastard, Shar-hai. He entered, silent as death, and
lifted the living cub and set it gently, almost lovingly, in a corner.
Kamela never once moved, or changed her expression as they came closer,
snarling sadistically.
They raped her, as he struggled to break free. Only then it was no
longer Kamela, but Sylviana they raped, and the face of Shar-hai became
human as it tore at her.
