Chapter 157 - Volunteers

I look up at the sky through the bare trees to see nothing but grey skies and smile. The way the temperature keeps dropping, I wouldn't be surprised if it started snowing. I haven't seen snow in... well, it had been about five years. It would be nice to see it again!

As we walk further into the woods the sky grows darker and darker as the clouds above us grow heavier and heavier but when we hear snickering, we all come to a stop to see a large group of men surrounding us. 

As I look closer, the men before us all have solid black eyes! I swallow hard as I look at their numbers and silently curse. I wanted to kill them, not get killed! There's ten of them! I had a hard time taking on just three of them... 

Bai Lei and Ren quickly come to my sides as they unsheathe their long swords. Bai Lei glares at the men as one of them steps closer while saying "We'll let you two go if you hand the woman to us." Bai Lei and Ren both scoff at the man as Bai Lei says "You're courting death." 

The man looks mildly surprised before he and the others all start laughing. He struggles to control his laughter as he looks back to Bai Lei and says "Fine, I'll let you and your friend watch as each one of us gets a turn with the pretty lady before sucking her die. Then, we'll slowly kill you both."

My anger builds at his words and I find myself wondering yet again why men always feel the need to rape women! Why!? I keep my head lowered and glance at the man speaking to Bai Lei as I softly call out "Bai Lei... step aside please."

The man's solid black eyes turn to me, his face showing a slight surprise. Bai Lei struggles to listen to me but he clenches his teeth and slightly steps to the side so I can face the man head-on. The surrounding woods become eerie silent as the first snow of the year slowly starts to fall.

I slowly look up and lock eyes with the man, watching as his mild surprise turns into shock. "Such a beauty we have here... looks like luck is on our side." He says with a growing smile. I silently stare at the man before looking around at the other men. 

Their looks range from shock, surprise, lust, desire, and other dark thoughts as I silently look at them all. Snow continues to silently fall, making it look like something from a dream. My anger and disappointment grow as I realize the first snow was ruined by them.

"Have you ever thought about the things you've done and how wrong they are?" I ask out of curiosity, causing the men to chuckle. The man in front of me says "Woman, we are gods. We are untouchable! We see what we want and take it. Why would we question our way of life? If you willingly come to us, we'll make sure you feel good as well."

Bai Lei clenches his sword in his hand as he struggles to remain calm. Ren's anger spikes as well but he holds back, waiting. 

I guess I got my answer... I won't feel bad for what I'm about to do. Everyone is quiet as I slowly reach up and lower the hoodie. The surrounding men all suck in as they look at the beauty in front of them. The snow falls around her making her look like a fairy from a story.

When her eyes finally look up to them, their hearts nearly stop. Green! They're green!! The men look at the woman with shock and awe... she doesn't look real! They got a small glimpse of her before but the hood truly hid her full beauty. The snow silently falls as I look at the frozen men around us.

I take a deep breath in and nearly fall over with delight. I moan as a dark smile slips across my red lips. Bai Lei and Ren both freeze as the men around us inch closer, lust and desire clouding their once clear eyes. 

Bai Lei watches the men and suddenly has an idea. She's luring them in... he relaxes a bit and looks to Ren. Ren slightly nods and does the same as the men around them start looking at Nova like they're in a trance.

I look to the men and say "I don't mind playing with all of you but you'll have to be patient. I can't take all of you at the same time... maybe two or three at a time?" I say lightly tilting my head to the side. 

The men moan in delight as the man in front of me says "Mmm... we'll all wait if we have to." I give him a dark smile as I start to walk closer. Bai Lei struggles to remain still as I reach up and touch the man's chest.

I feel the man shudder with desire as I take another deep breath and purr. This... this I can get used to. I look up to the man's solid black eyes as a gentle breeze blows around the woods. Snow dances in the air around us before settling and slowly drifting down once again. 

"I play a little rough," I say as I reach out with my dark power. The man before me suddenly freezes as the two closest men do the same. They reach up to their necks where I cut them with the wind earlier and look at me with shock. I can't reach the others so I focus on them alone. I waste no time and pull as hard as I can and watch with satisfaction when the three of them fall to their knees.

The surrounding men look to them in confusion before they realize something's wrong. One of the men snaps out of it and yells "It's her! The one the people have been talking and singing about! Kill her!!" Bai Lei and Ren quickly move into action to hold off the others as I drain the three in front of me.

The man before me watches me in horror as I inhale every bit. Watching in delight as they quickly begin to shrivel up. Bai Lei and Ren struggle to keep the men back but they are ridiculously fast and strong. Even with Bai Lei's strength, it's difficult to keep them off me.

One breaks away and charges straight at me so I spin to meet him head-on and watch with delight as he stumbles to his knees before me, clutching his neck. I pull hard as the three behind me fall over, completely dead. My smile grows as does my power. 

A man reaches up to slash Bai Lei from behind but I lift my hand and pull, causing the man to fall back. He drops his sword and clutches his neck as he turns to look at me with fear. I lift my hand and attack the other two, teaming up on Ren without even looking. 

Each death brings me more power making it easier and easier! I let out a seductive laugh as I turn and attack the three left fighting Bai Lei. They all fall to their knees in pain and fear. Bai Lei and Ren freeze and shudder when they hear my laugh but when they turn to look at me, they completely freeze. 

"You called yourselves gods? Hah..." I pull the red mist to me and watch as it swirls around with the white snow before saying "I'm afraid God won't even have mercy on your souls..." I pull one last time and watch as they take their last breaths. 

I quickly circulate the power as I take a deep breath and close my eyes. It felt so very good... Bai Lei watches Nova in shock before looking over to Ren. Ren quickly lowers his head and looks away, hiding his red face. Bai Lei looks back to Nova and tries to calm his racing heart. 

She looks so... seductive. Sensual... like something you'd see on the face of a woman as she's in the thralls of pleasure. Something you'd see while in bed! It was the most beautiful and sensual thing he's ever seen. 

They stand completely still in the quiet forest and wait for Nova. She stands among the falling snow, looking like a fallen goddess surrounded by dead bodies as her strength grows by leaps and bounds.
