Scream for help!

"No- no!" Alexia turned to run, but it was too late. The tentacles snapped around her like vipers, and she was caught.

"You look like a delicious one..." In response, something wet and slimy slid across her genitals. The King gagged.

"Ugh, what was that foul taste! I think you need some cleaning up."

With that, the tentacles began to secrete some sort of slimy liquid onto her body. She was shocked to see her rags dissolve into nothingness. However, her body remained unharmed. Alexia began to feel a pleasant warmth spread across her body. It was comfortable... and arousing.

Alexia was panting hard now. She had only felt so horny during the time she had abstained for a whole three months. It felt like she could pounce and ride the first man she saw, no matter how old or ugly he was. Held in the grasps of the tentacles, she could do nothing but writhe in agony. The feeler licked her cunt again, and this time the King smiled.

"Much better."

"No, no! Stop this! Help! Somebody help me!" Alexia was surprised that she still had the willpower to resist. "Heeeelp!!!"

"Be quiet now, or I'll shut you up, girl. No one will save you here."

No sooner that he had finished his sentence that something darted in from the darkness. There was a glint of steel, and then someone screamed loudly. Alexia fell to the ground, landing in a puddle of slime. The tentacles were now limp. They were cleanly severed.

"This has got to be suicide," said an unfamiliar masculine voice. "Why did you have to ask for help, woman. I can't help myself, you know?"

"Y̛O̷̢Ù! ÝO̸͡U̡͟ ̷̵̕D҉̀̕A̕͠Ŗ̨Ȩ̡ AT̷T̴͜A̢̛͟C̷͡͝K̡̕ ̴̧̧M̛E̵͘? ̨I͏̀͡ ̴̴̢A̸͟M͟͠ ͘T̸͝H̵̡͘E̵͘ ͏K̀͢I͢͝N͡Ǵ̷̸ ̨͞O̶̡͞F̧ ̷̴Ḑ̢A̡̛̕R҉̕K͝N͢E͘SS͘͠҉,̡ AN̨D͟ ͏̛I̕ ̷̛͞W̵͏I̡͏L̵͘L̸ ҉̴F̢͠EA̢S̢T́͢ ON̵̸ ̶̸͜YO͡͠Ų͜R͏ ̴͞͠B̵͢O̷̕͜ŃE̛͏S.̢" Mad with rage, the King's speech was garbled and alien. His anger was almost palpable, and it made Alexia fear for her very soul. Who knew such monsters existed in the world?

"Says the asshole who just got his dicks chopped off. Bring it on, sucker!" The man taunted. The King charged towards him, but a split second later a fiery explosion burst out of the very ground and engulfed him. The King screamed again, rattling the stones of the labyrinth.

"Sure is noisy. Now, for the coup-de-grace." Alexia's savour pulled out a strange weapon out. It was a bent stick, shaped like an L. He held it by the shorter section and pointed the stick towards the King. Another explosion erupted, this time from the tip of the stick, and a bright ball of light shot out towards the still burning King. It pierced through his heart.

The King didn't scream this time. In fact, he stopped moving altogether. He gave the man an eerie stare for several seconds, before disappearing into thin air, flame and all. Dying bits of ember floated down to the floor.

"I will be watching you," came King's voice, seemingly from inside her head. Alexia glanced around in panic, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"And that's a wrap." He exhaled deeply and slumped to the floor. "Holy fucking shit, I can't believe I did that. Now he's going to be after us for the rest of our lives."

"Name's James. James Carpenter. Shadow hunter." His demeanor and way of speech was foreign.

"My name is Alexia von Dumic. I'm an... exile."

"I know. The kingdom sends prisoners down here, don't they? Bloody fools, they don't even know what they're feeding."

"Thank you so much, mister James! I don't know what that monster would have done to me..."

"It's my pleasure, fair lady."

"I don't know how to repay you..." she ended the sentence suggestively. She was naked, and James was a pretty good looking man. Besides, her pussy was still quivering with desire. The King's aphrodisiac would not wear off until she relieved herself.

"You don't need to."

Alexia was surprised. She didn't know many men who would pass up such an opportunity. With the King gone, she could now escape the labyrinth. The exit lay just... behind...

All she saw was a pile of rubble.

"No! No no no no! The exit has been closed off!"

"Damn. I can't move that much rock." James announced after checking the cave in.
