The Brutality Of Fate [A Tale Of Life In Mordhaus]

Chapter 15

We made our way into the rather crowded Main Murder Hall. Nathan held onto me tighter, growling lowly, "Hey...we need to like....find your goddamn friends..." I looked up at him in puzzlement, wondering why he needed to see my friends, but knowing that I must not question the singer. He looked down at my puzzled face and grumbled deeply, "I might as well....ya know....fuckin assign you....your own fuckin...personal guards...understand, my girl??" I nodded in shock, murmuring softly, "Of course, my lord..understood." He held me tighter and growled roughly, "Heh...ya...you better, my girl." Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the main core of my group. Clustered close together talking was,
Samhain, whose bright orange hair stood out along with the various bones decorating it, Angel, who was being held protectively by her husband, Sparky, and of course, CD, the oldest and wisest of us all.


I quickly caught Angel's eye and she frantically gestured to the rest of them. I tugged lightly on Nathan's sleeve, "My lord, I see them." Nathan looked down at me then over to where I pointed, grunting lightly, "About...goddamn time...good girl." I glowed with his praise and we made our way over to my group. They immediately stood at attention when they saw I was being accompanied by Nathan, who grunted in approval. "Heh, I like that....though..the one with the....fuckin orange hair still creeps me....the fuck out...heh...she'll work." I resisted the urge to giggle, Samhain had a way of creeping people out unless you knew her really well. I looked up at Nathan, "Permission to greet them, my lord?" He gave a gruff chuckle, "Heh, ya....go for it, my girl." I nodded happily and leaning up on tiptoes, gave Nathan a deep kiss. He growled low in pleasure and held me close to him. He gently released me and I gave him another tight hug, "Oh! Thank you, my lord!!" With that, I turned and was engulfed in a big girly hug, squealing happily along with my girlfriends.


Nathan once again turned to CD and Sparky, growling roughly. "Are they like....always gonna...fuckin do that?" CD nodded, "Yes, my lord, the girls in our group are very loyal and love each other very much." Sparky gave a rough chuckle, "I still say, my lord, that they are all raving fucking lunatics. But, we all love and take care of each other, we are like family." Nathan nodded in approval, growling low to them, "Good, now listen up....both of ya...pay fuckin attention, understand??" They both snapped to attention quickly, both sounding out, "Yes, my lord!" Nathan growled low, "I want you all...to fuckin ya know...guard my girl...for the uhh...duration of this fuckin ceremony...got it?? Also, the oldest of you in the....uhh..group....will report to my...room after this....I want a fuckin...list of the....five strongest, most loyal....to my girl...to be her fuckin....personal guard...for like when I have fuckin....band rehearsals, and fuckin.....meetings and shit...do we have an...understanding here???" They both nodded, again stating in unison, "Yes, my lord, it shall be done!"


Nathan nodded back, "Good, because....if you don't take care of....my girl...there will be....serious fuckin...uh...repercussions...is that...understood as well??" They both nodded again, Sparky speaking up, "I believe, my lord, that I speak for the group in whole that we would rather die than ever let anything happen to Mistress here. We will take good care of her until you come back to reclaim her, my lord, as is your right as her Master." Nathan nodded in approval, "Good...I am...fuckin pleased that she....has such a loyalty...gained already...I fuckin like that." The boys continued chatting to Nathan, who seemed to already be gaining a bond with them as well.


Meanwhile, I was happily talking with my girlfriends, having missed them so much. Samhain piped up, "Looks like I still freak your Master out, Mistress." I laughed, "I know, Sam, but, he said something about assigning..personal guards for me? I think he is strongly considering you guys.." Samhain chuckled darkly, "Of course he would, dude, I wonder if that's what he's telling Sparky and CD, cause they are still standing at fucking attention and looking kinda scared." Angel looked over at them, "Ya, it looks like it.....Oh.....My....GOD!!! Mistress!!!" I started in surprise as Angel suddenly grabbed my right hand from where I was brushing my hair out of my face. I blushed madly as Angel held my hand up to her face and stared closely at my new ring in shock, "Mistress.....what the fuck....is this??!!!?"

Angel's shriek seemed to catch Samhain's attention, who was now gaping at my new ring in shock as well. I gulped hard, unable to answer, remembering my breakdown. Then, the feeling in my heart when Nathan slid this ring on my finger with his own shaking hands, like I was having a heart attack. I murmured softly, "Guys....I'm not sure...if I am allowed to say...ya know.." They both looked at me, then down at my ring. Samhain recovered first, "Okay, spill this then....are those...real diamonds???" I nodded shyly, "Yes." They both squealed in rapture. Angel then asked the next question, "Are those...Nathan's initials engraved into the stone??" I nodded shyly again, blushing furiously, "Ya..." They both seemed to be melting from the extravagance and romanticism of the ring.


Samhain again looked up, "He's never gonna tell you what it means, ya know?" I looked at her, puzzled, "What the fuck are you talking about? It signifies that I....belong to him....that's what he told me....you guys know that..." Samhain again shook her head and looked to Angel for support. Angel nodded,"Well, you're kinda right, dude, but...ya know...there's another meaning for it that I don't think he'll ever tell you, I don't wanna be a bitch about it..but you know he won't..." I got kinda upset at that, "Okay..what makes you guys think that?? What supposedly special meaning does this damn ring have other than that I belong to Nathan??? That you think...he won't tell me...?" Samhain and Angel both looked away, somewhat blushing. I almost got frustrated, but was scared of their answer as well, "Guys...please tell me...you're...scaring the fuck outta me..."


Samhain looked to Angel who nodded, "I guess since Sam decrees I am the one that would know....seeing as I am...ya know..." She trailed off, shaking her head. I was freaking out here by their actions now. Angel spoke back up, "That is also what is known as a promise ring, signified by the diamonds surrounding the heart. As meaning that he is also promising marriage, someday maybe, but he is already putting that claim out by putting that ring on your finger. Saying that you are technically somewhat engaged, or at least promised to be engaged. Meaning that others will see that ring and know that you will someday become engaged to Nathan, which means he now completely claims and owns you, by that ring alone. That he's also saying that no one else will ever have you, and that perhaps, he may have fallen for you already as well, Mistress." I looked at them both with an eyebrow cocked, "You guys....you are both...fucking NUTS!!!! I have only been with the man for barely two days!! Goddamn, it doesn't...mean that...that's fuckin...impossible..." Samhain shook her head, "I dunno, dude, I see Nathan outta the corner of my eye and he just cant take his damn eyes off of you.." I blushed but countered hotly, "He's just watching over me, you guys....god...you are really getting too into this..." Angel shook her head also, "I dunno dude...since when did he change his words?"


I looked at Angel again, "What the fuck are you talking about???" She sighed in exasperation, "At the fucking...Branding thing...he was more..agressive, more possessive with you. He was just calling you girl and shit, like you were nothing more than his slave, but now..." I looked at her sharply in her hesitation, knowing that I noticed the change in his attitude as well, but knew better than to question my Master. She spoke up again, "Since when did he start calling you, 'my girl'? And you seem to be more affectionate towards each other as well, hell...he's letting you give HIM affection...what the fuck happened???"

I blinked at that, "I honestly don't know, guys, it just kinda...happened between like....when we were in Ofdensen's office last night. Then, this morning after Pickles visited....especially after Pickles left. I dunno what him and Ofdensen talked to Nathan about, but it seemed to make him...different. I dunno guys...it's too hard to describe, and besides...I know better than to question my Master or his motives and you guys better learn that quick too. We are not in a place where we can just gossip like normal women. We are Gears and we are here to serve Dethklok and my place is with my Master, forever or as long as he wants to keep me. I will never question him again and neither will you guys. It's just...too risky..please??" They both looked shocked at my lecture. Angel spoke up first, "We are just worried that..." I cut her off gently, "Angel, I know you are my best friend, but you saw when Nathan rescued me, do you really think he would ever hurt me?"

They both shook their heads, I smiled at them softly,"Guys, I will tell you this...this has been the most wonderful two days so far in my life! My Master, is nothing but wonderful to me, guys! Trust me, he makes sure I'm well fed, hell, he feeds me himself. He made sure I had clothes, hell, he TOOK me to get a new wardrobe this afternoon! He even took me to the hospital wing twice, and was nothing but gentle. The best part of all, girls, he has been making sure that we are both....ya know...somewhat sexually satisfied as well, he always makes sure to give me pleasure, always! He has been nothing but attentive, sweet, gentle, affectionate and extremely protective. I am in good hands, guys, Nathan would never let anything happen to me! I know he cares for me...and I care for him too. How far that really goes, I dunno and I'm not sure he does either. But someday, we may have more. But,I still want to stay with Nathan and no one else...ever. I just wanna stay with him..." I trailed off, gulping hard, heart hurting badly again.


They both looked at me again, smiling widely. Angel piped up first, "Wow, Mistress...that...is incredible...but I can believe it! The way he was holding you after he killed those guys! It was almost like love at first sight, dude." I turned to look at her, shocked. "Are you sure???" My heart immediately started hammering so hard at her words, that I about fainted. Samhain spoke up also, "Ya...I saw him too. I have never....seen the man hold anything so tenderly before....have you?" I shook my head, having followed the band's various activities before deciding to try and work for them. Angel shook her head too, "I sure as hell haven't either, Sam." Hope bubbled up in my heart for a few seconds, but then quickly deflated. What was I thinking? I thought, who would ever love me? I sighed and turned away from my friends, watching Nathan who was talking to CD and Sparky still. I never noticed how well he got along with my friends already, I watched as he brushed his hair out of his face with an irritated little gesture. I gulped hard as I watched him, my heart hurting very badly again. I had this sudden urge to just run up to him and kiss him hard. Even more, I had the sudden urge to just let the man take me as hard as he could while I screamed out his name only in rapture. I shivered in desire at that thought, and gulped hard. What the hell was wrong with me????


I never even noticed Samhain's hand waving in front of my face, cause at that moment, Nathan turned to look back at me right in the eyes. His eyes were glowing with that intense acidic burn, and his teeth were very slightly bared seductively, for me only I knew. I gulped hard and blinked back at him, biting my lip hard in my desire for him, and him only. I was extremely turned on now and all the man had to do was look at me. I suddenly wished we were back in our room, naked again, pleasuring each other. I needed him so badly at that moment, and I wanted him now. But, my dirty thoughts were soon shaken out of me by Samhain. She was roughly shaking me by the shoulders, "Hey, dude....wake the fuck up!!!" I shook my head hard, my own hair flying everywhere. I mumbled distractedly, "What the fuck, Sam???" I turned back to look at my friends, who looked back at me with wide grins. Angel winked at me, then giggled, "My god...you two really can't take your eyes off each other for more than a few minutes...I mean, shit...CD had to shake Nathan too, and that kinda scared him to do that." Samhain piped up, "I don't think Nathan was very happy about that, cause he's coming back over here, and looks like CD and Sparky got kinda yelled at."


But, at that moment, I lost Samhain's attention as I watched Nathan approach. My heart was hammering wildly and I smiled happily at his approach, for some reason I had felt empty without him. My body was aching hard for his touch, and his only. I already felt as though I was on fire, simply by the look of sheer bestial hunger on his face. I knew that look by now, and it made my heart hammer even more to know that that look was for me and me only. It looked like he felt the same way, apparently. Because before I could even move, I was caught up in Nathan's tight embrace. I heard him give a rough roar of affection for me before he crushed me hard into his hot body, kissing me very hard and rough.


Nathan could not take any more after watching his girl laughing with her friends out of the corner of his eye, he turned to look at her and saw as she caught his eye. He caught that shy blinking and saw her bite her lip hard in her desire, for him only he knew. He suddenly wanted his girl badly and he wanted her now. He barely felt it as the guy known in her group as CD gently shook him by the shoulder, "My lord? Are you...alright? You look awfully pale..." The guy trailed off. Nathan barely looked back at him, roaring down at both guys roughly, "I'm fuckin....fine....goddamn....come on...NOW!!" They both jumped and hurriedly fell into step behind him, looking wary. But, Nathan only had eyes for his girl, his heart hurting very badly now. He watched her face light up with a big smile at his approach and his heart hammered even harder, his body was suddenly aching badly for her touch again. His last coherent thought, what the fuck is wrong with me????

He soon thought no more of anything or of anyone seeing, as he wrapped his girl up in his arms and roared roughly in affection for her. He heard her gasp in pleasure as he gripped her harder, leaning down to kiss her very hard and rough. He heard her moans of pleasure and kissed her deeper, snarling low in his chest. He felt her throw her arms around his neck, pressing her soft body closer to his. He heard her softly cry out his name in her desire through his kiss and his heart hammered even harder, his body aching so badly in his desire for her touch. He wanted so badly to carry his girl back to their room and take her as hard as he could, make her his forever. His blood boiled at the thought of her crying out his name and his name only in passion as he made hard love to her.


The sound of Ofdensen announcing the ceremony's beginning startled me and Nathan out of our desire ridden kiss. I shook my head, dizzy with arousal and still shaking. My mind had been so focused on wanting Nathan to just carry me back to our room and take me as hard as he could. I wanted to do nothing more than feel him make hard love to me, while I cried out his name and his name only in passion. My heart and body ached to hear him roar out to me in ecstasy as well as he made me his forever.


Nathan looked down at me, breathing heavily. "I'll uhh...be back later to come get ya.....now you stay...with your goddamn friends...and don't fuckin...wander off...understand??? I will NOT lose you....now....understand...my girl??? You are....fuckin...under their watch now....be fuckin...good.....cause I um...wanna ya know....shower tonight....after this....got it??" I blushed hotly at his gentle innuendo and smiled up at him shyly, "Of course...my lord, I will stay with my friends until you come back....I'll be good...for now..." With that, I gave a shy giggle. He chuckled roughly back down at me, "Heh...god...I fuckin....like it...when you do that....be good, my girl....I'll get ya after this is...fuckin over..." With that, he gave me another rough, hard kiss. Adding his usual stroking of my face gently with his fingers, eyes glowing warmly as he brushed the hair out of my face, running his fingers gently through it. I had closed my eyes in pleasure, then opened my eyes again to find him gone.


Again, I was shaken roughly from my spacing out about the last day and a half by CD. He murmured softly near my ear, "Hey, Ofdensen is already halfway past the 6900's so your number should be called soon." I nodded wordlessly, still shocked that Nathan was on stage with Ofdensen. I wondered why briefly, maybe he was gonna announce my job title instead of Ofdensen? That made sense, I thought, still feeling kinda bad that Nathan didn't tell me but I knew better than to question my Master.


I was still attempting to figure out my Master's motives when I heard Ofdensen call out my number, "#6982, please approach the stage to receive your job titles, present yourself to Lord Nathan only." I gulped hard, thinking wildly, job titles??? I straightened my shoulders the best I could and made my way up the walkway to the stage, mind spinning about what Nathan would announce me as. Again, there was the shocked murmurs from the crowd as I reached the stage. Keeping my head down as learned, I kneeled down at Nathan's boots, my heart hammering wildly. I heard Ofdensen address Nathan in a muttered discussion of which again I could not hear. Then, I heard Nathan take the microphone from Ofdensen and growling low, he addressed me, gently running his fingers though my hair.


"Your job titles shall....be known as....Favored Live-In Slave To Lord Nathan...also will be...known as Lord Nathan's Submissive....and to make myself....even more fuckin clear.....you are also Lord Nathan's....Chosen Consort....is that fuckin....Understood???" He lowered the microphone to my face, waiting anxiously. I gulped hard, sounding out in a clear voice, "Yes, my lord, understood!" My mind was still running with the word consort, consort for what????


The crowd had gone eerily, deathly quiet. Nathan gently lifted me to my feet, protectively gathering me close into his body. He growled menacingly, still holding the microphone close to his face, "This girl...belongs to me....and me only....I am her....fuckin Master...I own her....Any other....jackoff attempting....to fuckin claim her...I will actually kill them....brutally and with...no fuckin mercy.....Any questions???" For once, the Hall was completely silent and most of the crowd shook their heads in shocked fear, unable to answer. Nathan smiled at them sadistically, roaring out, "Good! Fuckin carry on....with your shit then, Of...I'm done." Chuckling evilly at the shock on Ofdensen and the rest of the band's faces, he wrapped a large arm tightly around my shoulders and guided me off the stage.


Nathan guided his girl off the stage, feeling very proud of himself. He was confident now that no one would dare try to take his girl away from him. Heh, not without suffering a painful fuckin death, he thought evilly, I will keep her with me no matter what. He wondered if it was good to use that particular word, consort, but Ofdensen had told him what it meant so it sounded like what she would soon be to him anyway. He knew what he wanted with her, but at the same time, could not help still having those sharp pains in his chest every time he was with her. It's worth it though, he thought, looking down at his girl in his arms with a secret soft smile on his face.


We soon rejoined my group for one more quick reunion before we headed back to our room for the night. I looked up at Nathan, still trying to figure out what he meant by chosen consort. What did he have planned for me? I lost my train of thought however, by Nathan looking back down at me. My breath got caught in my throat again and my heart started hammering again, he had a soft almost loving smile on his face, eyes glowing warmly in affection for me. I melted with that look and slowly pressed my body closer to his, craving his affections badly. I heard him give a low growl of arousal and gently started tracing his fingers across my hip in a veiled promise for more.


I shivered with his touch and tried desperately to pay attention to my friends. Sparky was saying something about getting together for something? I shook my head clear out of the gutter and looked at Sparky, head cocked in curiosity. Sparky started to heave a rough sigh of irritation but stopped at Nathan's low growling. Sparky shook his head, "Sorry, my lord, but I just wanted to know if we may ask your permission for Mistress to join us on an outing sometime this week or maybe next week?" I looked up at Nathan with wide eyes, not daring to plead or beg, I knew he did not like that. Nathan gave a soft growl and nodded, "Ya....she may...but I need to like...get her a fuckin...Dethphone first...I know you all had yours....assigned to you...correct?"


The rest of the group nodded, sounding out at the same time, "Yes, my lord!" Nathan nodded, "Alright then....uhh...fuck...I'll need like...all your goddamn numbers....I will be...uhh...programming her phone myself! Is that understood...my girl??" I nodded, murmuring softly, "Yes, my lord, understood."
Nathan nodded and hugged me close, rumbling softly, "Good girl."
Meanwhile, I saw CD take out a notepad from his side bag and started collecting the numbers from the rest of the group. CD turned to Nathan, bowing low, "My lord, we would like to know if you want the entire group's numbers or just the core that will be guarding her?"


Nathan thought about it for a moment, looking down at me in concern. He growled roughly, "Ya know what? Just like....fuckin...write down all the numbers...and when ya fuckin....bring me the list....of who among you....uhh shall be her....personal guard....I'll just like....use their numbers...Fuck, I'll work on it....later." CD again bowed low, "As you wish, my lord, Mistress's safety is our only concern as you know." Nathan nodded, grunting in pleasure, "Good....it's fuckin good...to know she has...such a loyalty gained already....I fuckin like that." I smiled happily, I knew how much my friends loved me and they were also very protective of me.


CD smiled back at me and ripped off the page with the group's numbers on it. It was quite a long list, I chuckled softly, I had almost forgotten how large of a group we are. Nathan stared at the page that was handed to him with slightly widened eyes, "Holy fuck....there is a lot....of you....fuckin people....goddamn...that's fuckin awesome!" He growled out in approval. I giggled again along with the rest of the girls. I also felt a folded square of a page being gently stuffed into my hand, I looked out of the corner of my eye to see Angel and Samhain with secret smiles on their faces.

I knew what they gave me, the girls only contact information for doing our own girly thing. I felt somewhat bad about keeping this page from Nathan, but I already knew what the girls wanted to keep in contact for. The usual, about how things are with Nathan sexually, and whether I could set them up with any of the other boys, the gossip around Mordhaus, that kinda thing. I slowly eased the square of paper into my jean's pocket without Nathan seeing, still feeling like shit though. I gulped and hoped I would never get caught with it, for I knew I would be punished if he did catch it.


I was startled out of my guilty thoughts by Nathan gently wrapping his arm around my shoulders. He looked down at me and growled softly, "We should head back...I'm fuckin hungry...we can order...ya know...a nice dinner....I have an idea..." With that, he turned and walked a bit away, pulling out his Dethphone. I could not hear what he was saying into the phone, but I heard Angel whisper next to me, "Dude...I'll bet he's ordering a romantic candle lit dinner for you....in your guy's room....god...that'd be sooo awesome if he was doing that!!!" She sighed in bliss, I blushed and countered in soft whisper, "You are such a fuckin dork....Nathan would never do that.....he's just...not romantic like that..." Angel giggled softly, whispering again, "I dunno, dude...look at your ring." That seemed to settle it and I blushed again. I wondered if my lord was really capable of something like that? Nah, I decided finally, shaking my head. My lord would never do something like that for me.


Nathan's hands were shaking as he dialed his phone for the kitchens. He knew he was again pushing it, but for some reason, his heart was telling him to surprise his girl with this. He suddenly hated his heart, but if it would keep the damn thing from hurting so much he'd do whatever it told him to. That thought over with, he heard Jean-Pierre answer the phone, "Yes, my lord? How may we serve you this evening?" Nathan gulped hard, wondering if he was gonna regret this or if it would make his girl's face light up for him. He liked that a lot, and for some reason, he wanted to see his girl happy.


Especially with him, that was all that mattered. He cleared his throat roughly, hoping Jean-Pierre would help out, "Hey...ya...I uhh....wanted to ya know....treat my chick to a really....ya know...nice dinner and shit...in our room...but I dunno what....to fuckin do....can ya like....fuckin...do something ya know...special for us...?" He felt himself blushing as he asked this, feeling very weird inside again. He heard Jean-Pierre give a sigh of pleasure, "Of course, my lord, first of all, would you care for the red and black candle set up, with the Gothic candle-holders?" Nathan gulped hard, that sounded pretty metal to him, "Ya...let's uhh...do that..."


Jean-Pierre sighed again in rapture, "Ah, my lord, your lady shall be very happy with you after this. Ah, yes, so I shall set up a menu of chocolate covered strawberries, whipped cream, hm...let's see. Ah, yes, the Filet Mignon along with soft rolls, caviar and of course, a good bottle of expensive red wine for my lord and his lady, is that acceptable?" Nathan thought hard, heart hammering at the thought of feeding his girl that sumptuous menu along with having some fun with the whipped cream. He smiled sadistically at that thought.


He growled low into the phone again, "Heh...you are a....fuckin genius....goddamn....ya...like have that fuckin...set up...right away...oh...I also....wanted the uhh....red and black...rose....arrangement..." He heard Jean-Pierre sigh again in rapture, "Ah, my lord, I knew you would ask for this, how you must love this young lady. Ah yes...the flower arrangement then, my lord, or just the petals?" Nathan was getting a little overwhelmed with all this set up, not to mention Jean-Pierre's words made his heart hurt much worse. He gulped hard and cleared his throat, pretending he only heard Jean-Pierre's last words, "Uh...ya know...do fuckin....both....and um....I would like some of the.....uhh.....petals on my fuckin....bed....got it?? That's all.....I want that shit set up....before we get there.....Understand???"

He heard Jean-Pierre sigh again, "Of course, my lord, your chambers shall be set up as you requested, I have already sent the men out to work as I have already started cooking, it will be ready for my lord and his lady in approximately 10 minutes, is that acceptable, my lord?" Nathan gulped again, nervous as hell now, "Ya...that'll fuckin...work...thanks...." He growled, trailing off. Jean-Pierre gave a soft laugh, "Do not worry, my lord, your lady will absolutely adore you for this! Trust me, my lord, you will richly rewarded for it, if you will take my meaning, have a delightful evening with your lady, my lord, we are always glad to serve you and your lady." With that, Jean-Pierre hung up, leaving Nathan to some even more confusing and hopeful thoughts.


Nathan came back after awhile, irritably stuffing his Dethphone back in his pocket. His hair was hanging in his face again, which startled me cause he only did that when he got shy. I wondered if Angel was right. But, before I could signal back to her, Nathan had wrapped his arm around me wordlessly and started to lead me away. I waved back to my friends, Angel mouthing softly to me, "You'll see!! He's already blushing!!" They all gave me the horns hand signal, all winking at me, mouthing at me also, "Go for it, Mistress!! Capture his black heart!!" I blushed again and cuddled closer to Nathan, hoping my friends were right, and glad for their confidence. With that, we made our way back to our room.
