Ximena had retreated to the back of her cell by the time Narcissa re-entered the dungeons, swearing loudly.
"That scaly little fucker, wait until I get my hands on him when his bitch of a mother isn't standing guard," she muttered under her breath as she stomped her way back towards them, promising all manner of unpleasant experiences that she would subject him to.
She pulled to a stop in front of the cell that held Allen and Greyson, the expectant smile frozen on her face as she peered into the cage at the two motionless bodies on the floor.
"What the fuck…" she hissed, "Surely Eromaug hasn't finished already…"
Ximena sniggered loudly as Narcissa's eyes turned towards her.
"Who'd have thought that such a strong and virile Daemon lord would suffer from performance issues?" She smirked as Narcissa slammed her hands against the bars in anger.
"You'll shut your fucking mouth if you know what's good for you." Narcissa hissed with an unhinged look in her eyes.
"Well I know not being locked in here with a raging psychotic wraith is good for me, especially when the Daemon lord she's infatuated with wants nothing more than to stick his cock in the daughter of her mortal enemy." Ximena cackled, knowing full well that it would hit Narcissa right where it hurt and send her a little closer to the precipice of insanity that she was rapidly heading towards.
"Shut up!" Narcissa spat, but Ximena carried on gleefully taunting her and ignoring her protests.
"Imagine how furious Eromaug will be when he finds out that not only did you leave your post when you were supposed to be following his depraved little orders, but while you did so, the two people who would keep his Eternal under his control for the rest of their lives died in the mist of their agony and you did nothing to stop it." Ximena tutted mockingly, "He wouldn't even look at you before…I imagine he'll throw you to his little daemon army to do with as they please when he realizes just how badly you fucked up here. It'll be like old times for you, maybe you'll see some familiar faces there."
Narcissa froze and cast a panicked look to where Greyson and Allen lay motionless beyond the bars.
"No…they can't have...I wasn't gone for that long…" she muttered in disbelief under her breath as stepped closer towards the bars that separated the two men from her.
"Just face it Narcissa, you've always been a fucking failure. You failed at your studies, outclassed by even the lowest talents in our coven and turned to a fucking Daemon to even stand a chance of competing with the rest of us. You're pathetic."
"At least I'm still alive!" Narcissa shrieked furiously, "Where the fuck are the rest of those jumped up nobodies now? All fucking dead at the hands of my Lord! You're nothing special Ximena, you couldn't even defeat me!"
Ximena laughed as she smirked through the darkness at her.
"Don't be delusional, you know full well that one on one, you don't stand a chance. Had you not taken me by surprise whilst I was sleeping with your little helpers, you would never have stood a chance. Besides, you're a wraith now Narcissa…you're a small fraction of the woman that you used to be, but somehow, an even bigger bitch than you were back then. You've always failed to grasp the basic thought process of a normal person, perhaps I should pity you instead of hating you. After all, the man you love will never love you back.especially now that his Eternal has captured his heart and you just destroyed the very thing that would keep her loyal to him."
Narcissa's fury crumpled as she sobbed in frustration as panic completely overtook her.
"No! That's not true! I'll bring them back! I did it with that fucking broken witch and I can do it with these two fucking mongrels. You aren't the only one who can meddle with life and death Ximena."
Ximena bit her tongue to stop the retort that was desperate to fly from her mouth. She had pushed Narcissa to the perfect point of irrationality and it was almost time to exact their revenge.
As she fumbled in her pockets for the keys to open the cage, Ximena's heart felt as though it would burst from her chest in anticipation.
In seconds the door to the cell next to her was opened and Narcissa rushed in, heading straight towards Greyson and bending over his motionless form, examining him quickly for signs of life.
A knowing smile curled at the edges of Ximena's mouth as Narcissa knelt beside him, placing her hands on his chest frantically as she prepared to bring Greyson back from the death that she was sure he had suffered.
"That was always your problem Narcissa," Ximena said almost sadly as Narcissa's face turned towards her once more.
"What the fuck are you talking ab-"
She was cut off mid sentence, her voice transformed into a tight wheeze as Greysons hands closed around her neck and she clawed wildly at him..
"You were always so willing to believe in the wrong people." Ximena finished softly.
Without wasting a second Greyson leaped to his feet with a furious snarl, slamming Narcissa's frail body violently against the bars of Ximena's cell.
"You can't kill me," Narcissa wheezed triumphantly, "I'll come back and make you pay for this,"
"That's where you're wrong," Ximena's face appeared next to Narcissa's through the bars, "I'm perfectly capable of ending your existence for good."
Narcissa's laugh died under Greyson's tightening grip and as Ximena's hands reached through the bar, Narcissa's eyes widened.
"No...impossible...you...how are you unbound?!"
"No more talking Narcissa. The only thing that has ever spilled from between those lips of yours is poison. It's time for you to leave." Ximena murmured softly, "In the next life, I hope the Goddess grants you the kindness that you were missing in this life."
Ximena's hands clamped down on the side of Narcissa's skull and as her eyes began to glow in almost the mirror image of Lexi's when she had taken the life of the abuser in the Enclave, Allen and Greyson closed their eyes against the brilliance of the light emitting from Narcissa's body.
The last image they had in their mind was that of Narcissa's mouth stretched unnaturally wide in a terrible scream of agony as her energy was forcibly pulled from her body and into Ximena's.
