How I got Damned

Vannas Tale

Prologue

They were sisters, twin sisters. The closest bond ever woven. They did everything together. Where one was, the other was not far. What one wanted, the other wanted. What one had, she shared with the other. Vanna was the older, even if only by 5 minutes. But she never tired of rubbing it in Evana's face.

Even when they were little, they had made their father furious. They had never followed his instructions. Again and again they had crossed boundaries and again and again they had been scolded by their father.

As they grew up, small pranks and disobediences became bigger pranks and more serious offenses.

"I have told you a hundred times not to hunt the hyenas. They are many and they are dangerous."

Shouted her father. Evana ducked behind Vanna, who as usual was miming the rock in the surf.

"Yes, but they did flee. And besides, you yourself said that they don't have the right to hunt on our territory."

Her father roared his anger into the cave.

"Yes they don't have the right to hunt here and yes they fled. But for fuck's sake. You also know they are not stupid. Such an escape could be an ambush."

Vanna rolled her eyes.

"Father we are strong, how are your..."

That's as far as she got because her father cut her off.

"Right. You are my daughters, you are strong. But they are many. And two lionesses, no matter how strong they are, won't do anything against 30 or more hyenas."

He stomped up and down in front of the two. He was beside himself. Vanna and Evana remained standing. They knew their father wasn't finished yet. As he passed them again, he stopped in front of them and yelled right in Vanna's face.

"This is why when you see a hyena, you come into the den and get the rest of the pack. We hunt together, not alone."

Vanna knew her father was more concerned than angry, but he had a way about him that just made you mad.

"But Father, it was..."

Again he cut her off, yelling at her unchecked.

"What, just two hyenas? What would have happened if they had ambushed and killed you? I would have lost you! That's what would have happened!"

Vanna seethed as her father turned away for another round of stomping.

"But nothing happened!"

Her father whirled around and slapped her square in the face.

"I've also just told YOU this a hundred times: don't ever contradict me!"

Vanna went to her knees and Evana continued to flinch. Vanna was the bigger, stronger lioness, Evana was in no position to stand up to her father. Vanna spat out and rose again. A trickle of blood ran from her nose.

She was about to reply when her father lashed out again. Vanna stood firm, she would not back down. Not from him, not from a male.

Her father knew he wouldn't get far with force, not with Vanna. He was proud of his daughter. She was the ideal for a lioness. She was strong, she was tall, she was unyielding, and she protected her little sister with her life if she had to.

He lowered his paw and took a deep breath. His anger had faded, replaced by worry and fear.

"Girls, I just don't want to lose you. I'm worried about you. Every time you go on one of your reckless adventures, I die of worry here. Every time you're not back here at the usual time, I go crazy with fear that you've finally done it and messed with someone a size or two too big for you. You're too important to risk your lives, and with them the future of this pack, so easily."

He approached Vanna and rested his head on her shoulder. It was a gesture of affection, but also of dominance. He could definitely feel her trembling under him. She was more than angry. She was boiling. He knew that someone would pay for this telling off. Probably some poor antelope or springbok.

It did not matter to him. He had vented his anger, shown his dominance, and saved face to the rest of the pack. That was all he wanted. He took his head off her shoulder just in time before she could burst, sending her off to vent her anger elsewhere.

"Now go girls, before I think of something else."

Vanna nodded stiffly and turned away. Emphatically calm, she left the cave. Evana was still cowering on the ground when Vanna was already standing at the entrance to the cave.

"Evana, are you coming?"

Vanna asked, her voice so tautly calm that it probably could have been used to cut diamonds. Evana snapped out of her stupor and ran crouched to the cave entrance, finally following Vanna outside.

Outside, Vanna was waiting for her. She was boiling. Her fur stood on end and she visibly trembled. Evana kept a little distance. She knew in this state it was best to leave Vanna alone, or at least not to contradict her. Vanna took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"I need to blow off some steam. Let's go."

She said in a forced calm tone that Evana knew all too well. She just nodded and followed her big sister. They left the rock and retreated into the shade of some larger trees. Vanna chose one of the trees and sharpened her claws on its bark. She was not satisfied until they were razor sharp. She looked at Evana, who was sitting under a low-hanging branch, looking very glum.

"What are you drooping your face like that for, sis?"

Evana looked up at her for a moment.

"Father was quite angry this time."

She had been against hunting the hyenas from the beginning, but had let her sister persuade her, as always, even though she knew there would be trouble.

"Father is always angry."

Vanna replied and came over to Evana. She nestled her head against Evana's and purred.

"Yeah, he's always mad, but he's never hit you before. We really overdid it this time."

Vanna shrugged as she continued to snuggle up to Evana.

"If we had run home first, the hyenas would have been gone and they would have known they could get away with it. Besides, nothing happened."

Her tone showed that there was no point in picking on this any further now.

"But let's leave the old stinker. I've got my mind on something else."

Vanna whispered in Evana's ear and nibbled a little on her neck. Evana pulled her head in and squeaked as Vanna nibbled a little harder.

"Hnnniiiiieee... what if one of the others sees us?"

Evana asked, clearly enjoying the attention but not wanting to invite more trouble on them both. Vanna remained unfazed and nuzzled her head intently against Evana's.

"So what if they should see it. Let them see how much I love MY sister."

Said Vanna, almost pushing Evana over with her affection.

"Sis, you know exactly how much I love you. No one will ever come between us, but if father finds out... after we just had the trouble with him... I don't know how he will react then."

Vanna let go of her for a moment. She took a few steps away from Evana and turned to face her. Her face reflected a mixture of anger, irritation and pity. She took a deep breath and then looked over at Evana.

"How do you expect him to react? Loving you is not against the rules. No on the contrary as part of the pride, it is even my duty to love you."

Evana shook her head.

"We both know that the love Father means and the love you and I share are not the same love."

Vanna knew all too well that her little sister was right, and that their father would not tollerate a love like the one they both shared.

"We are to carry his children within us. Give birth to a glorious future for the pride."

Added Evana. Vanna felt sick at the thought of doing IT to her father.

No, she would avoid fathering the next generation with him as long as possible. She loved her sister and only her sister. She would be the only one who would ever enter her temple. She rose and came back to Evana.

"Yes, that is what Father will ask of us when the time is right. But now it is not yet time. Now our bodies are still ours alone. Let's take advantage of it while we still can."

Vanna spoke softly but forcefully, looking Evana directly in the eye as she did so. Evana knew her sister could be extremely stubborn, and when she set her mind to something no one would dissuade her.

"Alright then. Let's have some fun. But quick before anyone sees us."

Evana relented and returned her sister's snuggling. They circled each other a bit, caressing the other over and over as they did so. They became faster and faster and the initial snuggling and purring gradually turned into growling and pawing. It developed into a playful fight in which it was finally about who could push whom to the ground and would keep the upper hand in the subsequent intimate confrontation. Both knew that if it came to a real fight, Evana would lose every time, but since it was more of a ritual than a real fight, the outcome was uncertain every time.

Today was a day when Evana would have the upper hand.

Vanna was lying on her back and Evana was standing over her. Both were breathing heavily. Vanna's smile was filled with her desire for her sister's affection. Evana looked down at her with a mixture of lust and thieving joy. She had won, she would determine what happened next, Vanna was at her mercy. She leaned down and licked her sister across the nose.

"Tag, you're it."

She said elatedly and jumped off Vanna and ran. Vanna was so utterly perplexed that it took her a moment to realize what had just happened. She pushed herself up and took off in pursuit.

"Well wait you little..."

She called out and ran after her younger sister. It was part of their game. Evana had always been the more playful, childish of the two. Always the first when it came to playing a trick on someone. It was the same now. Evana knew exactly what Vanna wanted, what she needed, and she would get it, no questions asked, but not so easily. She had to earn it. She had lost, so it was up to Evana to dictate the rules by which they played.

Evana ran through the small grove, laughing loudly, and hooked around the trees. Vanna was close on her heels, hurling not-serious curses. She would be able to catch up with her sister at any time, that was not the point. Evana would determine wan she wanted to be caught. They both enjoyed the game. They loved it, it helped to release pent-up energy, to let the anger of the previous lecture fade away.

Evana hit one more hook and then turned to Vanna in the middle of the run. Vanna had no chance to dodge and they crashed into each other. Both fell into the tall steppe grass and stayed on top of each other. This time Vanna was on top. Evana did not resist, she enjoyed her sister's affection as much as the other one. Vanna now seemed much more relaxed than before.

Tenderly, she snuggled her head against her sister's and purred softly. Evana returned the gesture and purred in her turn. Vanna licked her over the nose in a repetition of the gesture Evana had used to initiate their game of tag. Evana smiled.

"I love you sis."

Whispered the younger and Vanna positively beamed. Again she snuggled her head against Evana's. She extended the movement and pushed her head further up to Evana's neck and began to nibble on it tenderly. This time she stretched her neck to give the larger lioness better access and sighed her approval. She lifted her front legs and pulled Vanna tighter to her.

"Hmmm... more..."

Begged the younger sister and Vanna was willing to comply with the request. She gave in to Evana and laid her weight on top of her. She caressed her neck, licking and nibbling on her. Evana moaned softly and visibly enjoyed the ministrations. Vanna slowly moved her mouth down her neck and further towards her shoulder. She was rewarded with soft moans and squeals when she hit the right spots. As she worked her way further forward towards Evana's throat, Evana sucked in her breath sharply. Vanna knew her sister was particularly sensitive here and loved to tease her.

"Haaaaa... not so hard..."

Moaned Evana. Vanna let go of her for a moment and shifted back to Evana's head. Before Evana could even ask why she had stopped, Vanna pressed her lips to Evana's. Evana was surprised at first, but quickly relaxed and returned her sister's kiss. Her paws moved to Vanna's face and held her there. Evana was a hungry kisser and would not let Vanna get away so easily. She had not started the "kiss war" but SHE would end it. Vanna was perfectly fine with that she enjoyed it and would easily match her little sister's stamina.

When their lips parted again, a few threads of saliva joined them and Evana smiled contentedly. She closed her eyes and laid her head back. Vanna grinned. She would do what she wanted with her sister and she would enjoy it. Her paw slowly slid further down over Evana's belly. The younger girl shuddered at the touch and Vanna could feel Evana's muscles playing under her paw. Evana began to breathe deeper in anticipation of what was to come. Vanna was excited, trembling slightly. She was extremely tense.

"Vanna? Evana? Children where are you?"

Vanna faltered and closed her eyes. Disappointed, she let her ears droop.

"Shit..."

She cursed softly. Evana opened her eyes. Disappointment was reflected in them as well.

"Every damn time."

Vanna cursed again, before Evana pulled her to her once more and pressed a kiss to her lips.

"Don't get upset, we still have the night."

The younger sister's unspoken promise made Vanna relax. She snuggled up to Evana once more and then got off her.

"Children? Where have you been hiding?"

Evana turned on her side.

"Yes shame, I had enjoyed it so much..."

She whispered. Vanna straightened up.

"We're here mom..."

She called out. They would have to wait for the night. When everyone was asleep they would pursue their passion.

Her mother stood a good distance away and quickly came to them after Vanna's call. She seemed worried and relieved at the same time. When she was with her daughters, she greeted them with effusive affection. She nestled intensely against Vanna and nudged Evana several times until she also rose. Only then was she showered with love as well.

"I'm so sorry girl."

She finally said. Vanna shook her head while Evana in turn rubbed against her mother.

"It's not your fault mom. Father is just quick-tempered. We're used to it by now."

While there was genuine love in the first sentence, the last sentences were cold as ice and Vanna's expression remained closed. Her mother took a deep breath. She was used to Vanna not being very well disposed toward her father, but she hadn't seen her daughter this cold yet.

"He doesn't mean it. He's worried."

Vanna's face tightened so she wouldn't yell at her mother.

"He doesn't mean it? Really? You're serious?"

She finally said, forcedly calm. Evana looked over at Vanna anxiously. She shook her head. She knew that in this state Vanna would sometimes say things she would regret later. Her mother closed her eyes briefly and then looked back at Vanna. Her face reflected genuine concern and compassion.

"Yes. He's afraid..."

"What is he afraid of? Like I'm going to expose him to the rest of the pack?"

"...No my dear. He's afraid of losing you."

Continued her mother. Vanna threw her head back and spun around to release pent up anger and energy and not scream in her mother's face.

"Losing us? Pah. Yeah, I can understand that, We're supposed to give birth to the next generation after all..."

Vanna was beside herself. She was trembling with anger. She didn't have to hold back from her mother as she did from her father. Her mother was allowed to know how weak Vanna really felt and how insecure she was. Her father was not allowed to see that. To him, she had to be unbending. He was not allowed to have power over her, not HIM.

Her mother approached her and rested her head on Vanna's shoulder. With her it was a simple gesture of deep affection and love. Love of a mother towards her daughter.

"No my darling. You've got it all wrong. He loves you from the bottom of his heart..."

Vanna pulled away from her. It hurt to do that, but Vanna couldn't leave it like that.

"Love? Him? We, Evana, you, me and the others... We are just vessels for him. He rapes us and we give birth to more daughters for him to rape again... that's not love..."

Evana was shocked by her sister's statement and she could see the horror in her mother's eyes. It took her a moment to regain her composure and swallow the emotion. She took a deep breath and turned back to Vanna.

"No Vanna. Child. He's not raping anyone. It's not like that. But you'll learn that too. No he's really afraid of losing you..."

"Because of a few hyenas..."

"No, my dear. You two are almost adults now and there are other things than hyenas that make the nights in the savannah unsafe. Things that are much worse..."

Said her mother, turning to leave.

"... But I have already said too much. Please be home before sundown. We don't want to have trouble again... Do we?"

With those words, she left them. It took her a moment to calm down. Inside, she was boiling. Vanna had too much of her and her father. She had a way about her that was wonderful to grind against. She knew exactly how to drive her counterpart up the wall, only to cut down said wall afterwards. Her father was the same. Only that he was not so vindictive, that again she had inherited from her. Evana was the exact opposite. That's probably why they worked so well together.

Vanna was seething. She knew her mother couldn't help it, but she hated that she was always on her father's side. Evana cautiously came to her and snuggled up.

Vanna winced and her tension drained out of her again.

"Sorry, I overreacted."

She finally said as she looked after her mother in the distance and surrendered to her little sister's tenderness.

They were home on time, waiting for nightfall when everyone would be asleep.

The night would never come. No matter how hard they tried, they had never managed to pursue their love for each other... Not until that fateful night.

Damsel in distress...

Her father stood in their midst and shouted at Evana's face in his unmistakable manner.

"My child, when you heard his call, you must not answer. For when you answer his call, you will be lost for all eternity and we will not be able to save you. Let me make this clear. Adramalech is real. He has been blessed by the desert winds with powers beyond our comprehension. He is a demon, and he knows no mercy."

Her father's voice was stern, he would not accept anything else than total subordination. Vanna stood further back and was already boiling again. Why did he always have to get so loud. She could see Evana already ducking again. She had done nothing wrong. And if this Adramalech was really a demon, what should they do? And then again this ingratiation. Her mother intercepted her before she could do anything stupid.

"Vanna, don't do it. Do me this favor child. Your father is right. Adramalech is not to be trifled with. He took his grandmother. Since then, he has always been quick to become agitated where Adramalech is concerned."

Vanna stopped and looked to her mother.

"Really? His grandmother?"

Vanna had always thought the stories about the demon were old wives' tales to keep the children under control. But if it had gotten someone in her family, that was different.

"Yes it was a long time ago. I wasn't born yet, but I guess my mom still knew her."

They both looked over as their father stomped away from Evana and Suzanna. Evana remained sitting in the middle, looking distraught. Vanna went to join her, but again her mother held her back.

"Leave her alone. She needs a moment to process this. If she really heard his call, then watch her. If you notice anything, get help. This fight, you can't fight alone."

The night passed quietly and the next day remained quiet as well. Vanna kept an eye on her sister, because she was acting strangely.

Then, at night, Vanna noticed Evana rising and leaving the cave. Vanna was alarmed. Cautiously, she followed her out of the cave. When she was outside, Evana was not to be seen. Vanna stepped forward and looked around. Only then did she see Evana running across the plains at a stretched sprint. Vanna gasped, it was the direction to the water hole. What was her sister doing there? She tore herself away and jumped down the rock, taking up the chase, but Evana already had a considerable lead. Vanna had to give everything to keep up with Evana. There was no thought of calling for her. When Vanna finally arrived at the waterhole she was completely out of breath. She had a lot of trouble keeping her breathing under control and not giving herself away. She stalked up and looked for Evana. Her little sister was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are you sis? Where are you hiding?"

She whispered more to herself than she thought she was really reaching her sister with. Carefully, she crept past the bushes, careful not to make a sound.

And then she heard him.

"So you came..."

...

"... Up here."

Vanna's breath caught in her throat. His voice had a direct effect. She felt extremely attracted to him.

*Oh no!*

She thought and crept towards the water. There on the other side she could see her. Evana was standing under a tree and facing her was a lion. He was huge. His mane seemed to burn, but he didn't burn. They were talking to each other. Vanna didn't understand every word, but what she heard was enough.

*Oh no...no...no...no!*

She started to panic. But before she could do something stupid she remembered her mother's instruction. She turned around and crept away from the water. Carefully so as not to give herself away at the last moment, but hurriedly so as not to lose any time.

When she reached the border of the water hole's vegetation she could hear her sister moaning loudly.

"Aahhnnn...Hnnnnaaaa..."

Vanna gasped for air. Tears came to her eyes and she ran.

*Hold on sis!

Tears streamed down her face as she tried to run as fast as she could back to the rock. It felt like she had never run so fast in her life. She was running for a life. Not hers, but her sister's. The rush of the wind in her ears mixed with the rush of her blood and the pounding of her heartbeat. She felt as if her sister's lustful moans were following her, along with a demonic laugh.

Several times she almost tumbled. She was not quite at the rock when she began to scream.

"FATHER!!!"

It was hard to keep up the sprint and scream at the same time.

"FATHER!!!"

She slowed down as a side stitch announced itself and she couldn't keep up the pace. But she also didn't have to keep running. A shadow became visible on the top edge of the cliff. Vanna literally collapsed.

"FATHER...EVANA...WATER HOLE...ADRAMALECH...!"

She screamed and fell into the dust. Breathing heavily, she heard the roar of her father calling the pride together. She turned on her side and saw her father running down the rock. He stopped short.

"At the water hole?"

Vanna nodded.

"Quick..."

He just nodded and ran off. The others quickly followed him. One by one, the lionesses charged past Vanna and ran to the waterhole. Vanna pushed herself to her feet, trembling. Her mother was one of the last and stopped to support her daughter.

"Is it true?"

She asked frantically. Vanna only nodded. Her expression was tormented. Half of her face was encrusted with sand, tears streamed down the other.

"He took her... she... she..."

Vanna stammered. Her mother looked after the others.

"Come child. She needs us now!"

Her mother's voice sounded unusually harsh and her eyes reflected sheer hatred. Vanna swallowed the sour taste of her completely overacidified saliva and ran. If she survived this night, she would walk only the bare minimum for the next few days, if at all. Gritting her teeth, she fought down the pain in her muscles and ran after her mother and the others.

If it weren't for this circumstance, it would look majestic to see the entire pride charging across the plains at a stretched sprint. Her father continued to whip the horde, his hatred for the demon making him run faster than the others.

When they arrived at the oasis they could hear the roar of two lions.

Vanna ran faster, even though her legs burned and stars danced before her eyes. Her father charged through the bushes to the waterhole and saw the two on the other side of the small lake. He yelled Evana's name and ran along the shore. Vanna arrived at the waterhole just in time to see Evana slump down in front of Adramalech and her father circle the lake, followed by the rest of the pride. Her father screamed at the top of his lungs.

"You will let her go! This pride will not lose another daughter to you! Not again!"

Evana did not move, and Adramalech did not care about her father's threats. He bent down to her and tore a large shred from Evana's throat. For Vanna, time seemed to stop. It was all so surreal. She saw Adramalech kill her sister and began to scream. At the same time, Evana's body burst into flames and her father leapt toward the demon with murderous intent.

"Aaaaaaaaah..."

Vanna collapsed on the shore of the small lake. Adramalech turned to her father with incredible speed and, completely effortlessly, slapped him out of the air against one of the trees on the shore. The cracking of his bones could be heard even on Vanna's side of the lake. The other lionesses instinctively attacked. All together they charged at the demon, who was laughing loudly.

"Mwuahahaha... do you actually think you would have a chance? You all? Hahahahaa..."

Vanna crouched on the far shore, watching the carnage. None of the lionesses, all of them excellent hunters, could even land a hit, let alone hurt or even stop Adramalech. Vanna could do nothing. Her body refused to obey her command, and so she had no choice but to watch as her entire pack was slaughtered.

When Adramalech was finally done, he noticed the last lioness on the far bank, desperately screaming Evana's name. He remembered her. He had smelled her once before. Just before he had had his way with Evana. Slowly, he walked over to her. Right across the lake.

Vanna was still crouching on the shore of the lake. As she watched the demon walk across the water she knew, even if she tried, she would never be able to escape him. Not after she ran the distance to the water hole three times. Her legs were failing and her lungs were burning like fire.

The demon was covered from head to toe with blood and vicera of her pride. He was the embodiment of death. His growl made the earth tremble and where his paws touched the water it boiled. When he finally stood before her and raised his paw to strike, Vanna pleaded with him.

"Please...please...take my life, my soul, whatever you want, but let my sister go."

She made no attempt to resist, but lowered her head to the ground and waited for the inevitable. The inevitable did not come.

Adramalech paused and lowered his paw. His posture changed instantly. He took a deep breath and sat down in front of Vanna. When she finally dared to lift her head, all the blood was gone. He was clean again and he didn't seem aggressive in any from.

"Poor girl."

He finally said. His voice sounded soft, almost tender. There was compassion swimming in it. Vanna dared to look directly at him.

"You can't save your sister. No one can, not even me."

He added, tilting his head. Vanna's expression darkened. Tears streamed down her face.

"Why? It was you who took her, bring her back to me!"

She pleaded. Her voice broke as she tried to emphasize her plea. Adramalech shook his head.

"It is not as simple as that. She gave herself to me of her own free will, her soul is irretrievably lost. Like those of the others who came before her. No one could come back from hell."

He said softly. He bent down and gently nudged her with his nose. He radiated genuine affection. Vanna shook her head. It couldn't be that she lost her sister like this. She could have accepted if she had died hunting, or fighting hyenas, or something like that, but not like this.

"No, I can't accept that. How am I supposed to go on living now, without my sister?"

She began to sob. Adramalech snuggled his head against hers. His touches felt extremely good. They provided comfort and eased the pain, but Vanna wanted to feel the pain. She had lost her sister. The one person who meant more to her than any other.

"I want her back. I want my sister..."

She screamed. Adramalech straightened up and looked at the little pile of misery at his feet.

"Then there is only one chance for you..."

He said in a serious but loving tone. Vanna looked at him pleadingly.

"You mean...?"

Her voice trembled and her eyes reflected the realization of what it would take to ever see her sister again. She gasped and swallowed hard before launching into her response.

"...Good...good demon. If this is the only way to see my sister again, then I want you to take me too."

Her voice had regained a surprising amount of its strength but the uncertainty was still clear in it. Adramalech grinned. It was a devilish grin. Vanna recoiled.

"Well. I'm not opposed to claiming you for my harem as well, but, since you ratted me and your sister out to your father instead of just joining us, I'll have to punish you first."

He still sounded affectionate. It didn't seem like he was really angry, it seemed more like he was trying to make her understand the consequences of her actions. She looked up at him.

"Anything...I'll do anything if you just take me to my sister. Just say it and I will."

She had her eyes opened wide and her ears flattened. Adramalech nodded silently and seemed to consider for a moment while he eyed the lioness before him.

"Wait here..."

He finally said and disappeared into a shadow of himself for a moment. Vanna gasped for air. Where had he gone? She looked around, but couldn't see him. It took only a moment before she heard something behind her. She pushed herself up and turned around. Behind her stood Adramalech, just dropping her father at his feet. The patriarch of the pack was breathing weakly. It seemed as if he could no longer move his hind legs. From bloodshot eyes he looked up to Adramalech.

"Finish it already, you dog!"

His once powerful voice was only a shadow of its former self, and he seemed as weak and vulnerable as Vanna had ever seen him before. Was this the lion who had defended their pride day in and day out, asserting his place as patriarch? Adramalech let him curse, not caring much. When her father saw Vanna, his attitude changed abruptly.

"Oh my god Vanna. Run child. Flee. Save yourself."

He tried to crawl to hers, but the pain of his shattered spine wouldn't allow it. Vanna looked down at her father and then at Adramalech.

"Kill him."

He said calmly. There was neither hatred nor contempt in his voice. It was a simple command without any emotion. Vanna looked at the demon with her mouth open.

"Kill him. It was he who prevented the relationship between you and your sister. It was he who kept the two of you from being who you really were all this time. And it was he who finally drove Evana to come to me through his ways."

Explained Adramalech unemotionally and matter-of-factly. Vanna looked down at her father, who shook his head.

"No... that's not true. I don't know what he's talking about. Don't listen to him. He's a demon, he lies and cheats, that's what makes him. Run away. Flee. Get help."

Her father finally turned because of Adramalech and tried to strike at him again with his paws, but the demon just put his paw on her father's and didn't give him a chance.

"Let her go you dog. You have my other daughter and you wiped out her entire family, isn't that enough? Let her live. I don't want her to fall victim to you too."

His voice broke, it was obvious he didn't have long to live. Adramalech looked over at Vanna as her father cursed under his paw.

"It must be done. If you want to see your sister again, he must die. By your hand. That is the condition I set. Show me that you are willing to pay the ultimate price to be reunited with your sister."

Adramalech looked deeply into Vanna's eyes. His red eyes seemed to glow. In Vanna's world, only Adramalech and she existed, and in the far distance, her father cursed something incomprehensible. In her mind's eye, her life was passing once again. Every time her father had confronted her, every time someone disturbed them in their intimate togetherness. When she remembered the last lecture against Evana, she trembled. As if in a dream, she looked at the floor in front of her. There lay her father under the paw of Adramalech. She saw him looking up at her pleadingly and saying something. She looked over at Adramalech. He stood facing her, completely relaxed, and nodded.

Vanna closed her eyes. Her anger and hatred overwhelmed her. With a pain-distorted roar, she finally snapped her eyes open and slashed at her father with her paws. The attack was so sudden, so unforeseen, that her father couldn't even react before her inch-long claws tore his face apart. She stomped her paws on his muzzle and pushed it into the dirt. At the same time, she bit his ear and tore it off. She screamed out her rage and grief as she literally tore him apart.

"It's your fault... It's all your fault... It's only because of you that Evana had to die... It's because of you that mother is dead... Raaaaaaargh..."

She didn't let herself be stopped. She completely mauled her father. He was already dead, she was still raging. Again and again she slammed her fangs into his body and tore chunks out of him, continuing to pummel him with her paws.

Only when Adramalech put his heavy paw on her and said completely calmly:

"That's enough Vanna. It is enough."

She let go of him, but not without spitting at him once more. She turned away and collapsed one more time. Her fur was caked with her father's blood. To this mingled the sand of the oasis and her tears. She lay on the ground before Adramalech and wept.

They were tears of grief. Mourning for her mother, the others and especially her sister. They were tears of relief. Relief to finally be rid of her father, to finally be able to live HER life.

She looked up at the demon sitting next to her. Now that her father was dead, she could live her life and it would be over right away. Taken by the same demon that had killed her great-grandmother and sister. She lowered her head and sobbed softly into the sand. Adramalech leaned down and nestled his head against hers. He purred softly and his touch was incredibly tender.

"Calm down Vanna. Everything will be all right."

She didn't dare lift her head. Her body shook as she continued to sob. Adramalech continued to snuggle up to her and purred louder.

"It's over girl. Everything will be fine from now on. Soon you will see your sister again. You will be able to be together. For all time. No one will ever separate you from each other again."

Vanna listened. She raised her head and looked at Adramalech. Something like hope sprouted in her eyes.

"You will leave us alone? You will not interfere with our love?"

Adramalech lay down and slid his head under hers.

"No. Why should I? If that is what makes you happy, then you shall be allowed to live out your love. I'll just want to have a little fun with you two from time to time."

Vanna's face brightened. However, she was a little suspicious of that fun statement.

"What do you mean by from time to time and having fun?"

Adramalech turned his head and nibbled on her chin and could feel her beginning to smile.

"Well, my agreement with the Wind involves me siring demons for his army. Don't worry. Neither you nor your sister will be reduced to birthing machines. There are currently 134 lionesses in my harem. I can't even keep up..."

He added the last sentence with a smirk. Vanna pulled her head back a little.

"You want to have sex with us?"

Adramalech rolled onto his back beside her and stretched all fours from himself, giving her full view.

"Oh, yes, of course. Your sister was very taken. She enjoyed it very much."

Vanna's cheeks literally glowed at the sight presented to her and the thought that he had done it to her sister just minutes ago.

"I will impregnate every lioness in my harem about every other season. Some more often, too. There are a few lionesses that are quite fired up about it. Don't worry, pregnancy in Hell is no different than here, and you'll have plenty of "sisters" to support you. Should you get a taste for it, more sex is definitely possible."

Adramalech purred and made his statement completely nonchalantly. It was the most natural thing in the world for him to do. And Vanna could not contradict him. The longer she talked to him, the more she warmed up to it. He helped that he was completely exposed in front of her, slowly and hypnotically stroking his member.

"Will it hurt?"

She finally asked. Adramalech was jerked out of a trance. He stopped his movements and looked at her seriously. He turned slowly to face her. He closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them again his posture was completely different. He looked very serious. His facial expression reflected compassion and affection.

"I assume that, like your sister, you are still a virgin."

Vanna swallowed and nodded.

"Then it will hurt a little. There's no way to avoid that. But it will feel very good very soon."

Said Adramalech in a very calm tone. He slid his paw to her and placed it gently on hers.

"I'll be careful and make sure it's as painless as it can be."

Vanna grinned broadly.

"That's not what I meant. I realize that my deflowering won't be entirely painless. I meant what comes after."

She looked worried as she spoke the last sentence. Adramalech stroked her paw.

"Don't worry. It will be completely painless. It's like blinking. You're here and you close your eyes and when you open them again you're with your sister. No pain, no agony. I promise."

Vanna nodded. She looked around. There was nothing left to hold her here. Her whole family was dead and she would not be able to survive here alone. She looked at Adramalech and took a deep breath.

"Do it then. Make me your concubine. I wish it so."

Adramalech he lifted himself and came over to her. He snuggled up to her intensely. Let her take in his scent and tenderly caressed her head. Vanna enjoyed the touch and leaned against him. He circled her and rubbed against her. He purred loudly and nibbled on her neck. It made her hackles stand up and she squealed her approval of this teasing.

"Hmmm you smell so good..."

He whispered in her ear as he positioned himself above her. Vanna stuck her rear end out at him. He stepped back and looked at the offering presented to him. She was very excited and could not keep her tail still. Constantly it whipped left and right. Adramalech grinned. He pushed past her tail and inhaled her scent deeply. Tasted how ready she was and trembled at the thought of being able to claim two lionesses for his harem in one evening.

"What a lovely sight..."

He purred and kissed her on her lips. Vanna took a deep breath. Even Evana hadn't done that yet. She shuddered, and when he repeated it, she moaned. Adramalech grinned. Tenderly, he licked over her pussy, tasting her sweetly bitter nectar.

"Aaaahn... please... don't stop."

Moaned his partner and Adramalech didn't ask twice. He gleefully let his tongue glide over her labia again and again. He held Vanna upright with a paw so she wouldn't collapse again while she gave free rein to her lust and moaned her heart out.

"Hnnnnn... nyaaaaa... haaaa..."

Adramalech was in his element, pushing his tongue down between her lips. He was rewarded with the fact that she began to tremble all over her body. He reveled in the feeling of power and continued to caress the young lioness in front of him. Vanna struggled with her emotions on one hand this was exactly what she wanted to share with her sister and not with a demon, on the other hand it felt so incredibly good that she didn't want it to ever stop. She felt tingles all over her body and with each time Adramalech pressed his tongue into her vagina it became more. She clawed at the floor for fear she might fall over. She moaned her pleasure to the night sky and gave herself completely to the demon's caresses. Adramalech could feel her slowly but surely tensing more and more. Her first climax was approaching. He grinned thievishly and intensified his efforts. Faster and faster he moved his rough tongue and let it travel over larger and larger areas. He was rewarded with Vanna inhaling sharply and holding her breath. And then it happened. She convulsed and kicked out with her legs. Her entire musculature began to twitch and a suppressed scream left her clenched teeth. Stars danced before her eyes and she finally collapsed before him, breathing heavily.

When she could think straight again, she was lying on her side, breathing heavily. Adramalech sat next to her and smiled a benevolent smile. Vanna looked up at him.

"What was that?"

Adramalech leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss.

"When you put it that way, child. Then that was your first orgasm. Feels good, doesn't it?"

Vanna closed her eyes and enjoyed the afterglow of her climax for a moment longer. Her paw passed over her belly and touched herself. With a blissful shudder, she withdrew it.

"Yes... it was heavenly."

Adramalech smiled a little more.

"You can have that every day soon. With your sister, or even with me."

He said quietly and gave her another kiss. Vanna smiled dreamily. This feeling... with her sister... every day... for all eternity....

"Then don't make me wait any longer. Do what you came for. Take my soul, damn me to hell, that I may belong to your harem forever."

Her voice sounded firm and determined. Adramalech nodded and once again snuggled his head against hers. Vanna returned the gesture and visibly enjoyed the contact. Then the demon stood up and positioned himself behind Vanna. The lioness willingly raised her rear end and moved her tail out of the way. Adramalech did not take long and mounted her greedily. In one fluid motion, he penetrated her. The penetration of her hymen happened in one go. Vanna flinched briefly, but bravely pushed against his advance and allowed him to penetrate her deeply.

Adramalech roared his triumph into the night and Vanna joined in as he began to move. He remained bent low over her and thrust powerfully into her depths. Both he and Vanna were surprised at how quickly she became accustomed to it and how much she enjoyed feeling him inside her. Perhaps it was the thought that the sooner Adramalech got this over with, the sooner she would be reunited with her sister; or perhaps she was really getting a taste for it, as Adramalech had prophesied, but she reveled in the feeling that part of the demon was inside her. With each thrust she welcomed him and with each pull she held him tight. He felt big, firm and hot, the sensation he caused with each penetration inside her bringing her closer and closer to her next climax.

"Hhhnnnnnnaaaa... nnyaaaaa... hmmmmm..."

She could barely contain herself and pushed against him in time to the demon's movements. Adramalech grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and increased his pace. For his part, he clawed at the ground and used the strength of his legs to penetrate her even deeper. With his renewed efforts, Vanna also grew louder. She was virtually screaming her horniness into the night.

"Yessss... Give it to me... I want it... deeper..."

Her screams were not a request. She was demanding, commanding him to hang in more. And who was he not to give in to her demand, so he gave her his all. Thanks to his demonic physics, he was able to further increase his output, ramming his member deeper and faster into her. No earthly creature would have been able to do that.

He could feel her vagina contracting. Vanna's climax was near. Adramalech pulled once more on Vanna's neck and bit harder. Her voluptuous cries reached a new height. Vanna felt like she was burning from the inside out. It was an incredible feeling. She couldn't compare it to anything in her life so far. Even the orgasm Adramalech had given her before faded away. Everything inside her contracted, she felt as if her innermost being was tying itself in knots. It was painful and yet she wanted more... and then it happened. Like an explosion, it burst out of her.

"Grrrryyaaaaaaa..."

She screamed her orgasm for the second time that night, this time accompanied by Adramalech. Who came to his climax along with her. With one last thrust he flooded her with his seed. Both of them trembled. No other had ever challenged him like Vanna. Breathing heavily, he stood over the lioness lying before him in the dust of the oasis. Stained with blood and dirt, with tears in her eyes, Vanna lay there, his seed slowly spilling from her vagina. Adramalech did not wait. In a flash, he bent down and in a move he had perfected in umpteen other instances, ripped her throat from her neck. Vanna was instantly dead.

As her body burst into flames, he saw movement in the corner of his eye. Turning to look at it, he saw two of the lionesses of the pride moving with difficulty. One of them was looking at him in horror, the other was just about to get up. Both were badly injured.

Adramalech smiled a devil's smile before grabbing the patriarch's corpse.

"You are next..."

And with that, he disappeared. Only the glow of his eyes hung in the air for a moment before fading to nothing.

...

The pursuit of happiness ...

When Vanna opened her eyes again she was in hell. That much was obvious. Everything was in red and black. It took a moment before her eyes adjusted to the unnatural atmosphere. When she lifted her head, much to her relief, she could see Evana. Next to Evana sat another lioness. There was something strange about this lioness. Then she saw it. She had a number on her chest.

"1"

And Evana also wore a number.

"135"

Vanna blinked and looked down at herself.

"136"

"Are you ready to be fully defiled?"

Asked a voice right next to her. Jerking, she turned her head and saw Adramalech sitting next to her. Down here, he looked even more majestic. His mane seemed to radiate downright darkness.

"Yes!"

Vanna turned her head back to her sister, who seemed overjoyed. She came running over to them, elated. But instead of running to her, she ran straight to Adramalech and snuggled up to him.

"Why did you bring father?"

Asked her younger sister, and Vanna only now noticed that her father's body lay at Adramalech's feet. Adramalech gently placed his paw on Vanna's.

"It is enough. He is here to receive his just punishment. The demons of hell will come for him in a moment, don't worry."

Vanna calmed down a bit, but when she saw her sister still ignoring her, anger boiled up in her again.

"Punishment?"

Evana asked, continuing to cuddle with the demon next to Vanna, who returned the caresses in kind.

"Yes, he prevented your relationship with your sister. It is a reason why you are here."

Explained Adramalech in a calm voice, but Evana shook her head.

"I am here because you called me and you showed me what joys I can have here."

That was the last straw for Vanna.

"Evana. Sis. I am here. I came here for you. So we can be together. For all eternity. So that no one can ever break us apart again."

She sounded desperate. Evana stepped up beside Adramalech and looked over at Vanna.

"Sister, why are you here? I didn't call for you. Why did you follow?"

Evana seemed completely beside herself. She appeared to be in a trance as she turned back to Adramalech.

"Now go ahead Adramalech, take me now and here. I want to be complete at last."

Evana croaked and positioned herself in front of Adramalech. The demon smiled and tilted his head.

"Such eagerness. I didn't expect that."

He murmured and mounted Vanna's little sister. Her scream was a mixture of pain and lust as the demon anally deflowered her, but even after the first thrust, the young lioness seemed very comfortable in her role. Vanna, meanwhile, backed away. She shook her head. This was no longer her sister, crouching there in front of her, enjoying having a demon take her from behind. Eyes wide, she turned away and ran.

Ushi looked to her son and just nodded. She would take care of it.

As always.

Vanna wandered around in the maze that was the harem. She was beside herself. With anger, with shame, with grief... and over everything was the crushing feeling of betrayal. She felt betrayed by her sister, who clearly preferred the demon to her. She felt like she had betrayed her pride. And she felt like Adramalech had betrayed her when he said she could be with her sister, who apparently didn't want to.

She wandered through the harem and whenever she saw a lioness, she hissed and changed direction. When she finally collapsed in an alcove, she felt terribly alone.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

The question was spoken in an incredibly calm and motherly voice. It resonated with so much compassion and love that Vanna found it hard not to start crying right away.

"I know it's incredibly hard to process all of this. And every lioness does it differently. Your sister is blocking it out right now. Give her some time."

Vanna looked around. Sitting slightly off to the side was lioness number 1. Vanna's expression was closed. She felt cornered, but could not escape. She eyed the lioness sitting about 10 feet away from her.

"Who are you?"

She finally asked. The lioness stood up and very slowly came closer. She seemed heavily pregnant and might be about the same age as her mother.

"I am Ushi."

She said softly and sat back down about 5 meters away. She seemed relaxed, maybe a little annoyed but not angry. Vanna lifted her head.

"Ushi? Are you?"

Ushi nodded slowly. She smiled slightly.

"Yes, I am Adramalech's mother. I am the first among many. I am the mistress of this Harem as long as my son is not here. And I am the closest thing to a mother you will ever get here."

Her voice sounded serious, but loving, soft and yet powerful. She really acted like a mother. Vanna had so many questions, but didn't know where to start.

"You can ask me anything. Whenever you're scared, or worried, or missing something...just come to me. I'll be there for you. Always!"

Ushi continued and stood up again. She finally came to Vanna and gently nestled her head against the young lioness'. Vanna closed her eyes and surrendered to the gesture. The feeling of belonging was overwhelming.

"I know what's on your mind. Have patience. Your sister's love has not passed. Let her arrive down here first. The same goes for you. Arrive down here first. Look around, make some acquaintances. Most of the lionesses here are very outgoing."

Ushi lay down next to Vanna and snuggled in.

"But she didn't even notice me. I was air to her. Everything was all about Adramalech."

Vanna's voice broke. Ushi laid her head on Vanna's shoulders. Vanna laid her head on Ushi's paws. It felt good to have someone to give you support.

"Yes, it's often like that. When the new lionesses come down here they are often very confused. The emotions go crazy, and you must have felt my son's effect on lionesses yourself. It seems to be especially strong with your sister."

Ushi explained and relaxed. She hoped that some of her calmness would pass to Vanna. It worked, at least in part. Vanna took a deep breath. Slowly she calmed down. Ushi carefully took her head from her and nudged her lightly.

"There's a little formality waiting for you, too, though. You haven't been completely defiled yet. We shouldn't put that off for too long. And it will take your mind off things."

Said Ushi and stood up.

*Since Adramalech should be finished with the little one by now.*

Vanna looked after her and hesitated for a moment.

"What do you mean by not completely defiled?"

Ushi grinned as she looked back at her.

"Well. My son took your virginity to one hole. The other is still untouched."

It took Vanna a moment to realize what Ushi meant. Her jaw dropped almost to the floor.

And just like that...

I went to hell for my sister
