Consort of the Apocalypse

Let’s see if we can finally free that demon inside of you, Mary.

I was content with living a mediocre human life. I had found a routine that included couch surfing, scamming, and a little bit of petty larceny. I never thought I would end up being one of the most powerful creatures in Hell.

While celebrating my twenty-first birthday, I thought I deserved a little fun, so I followed a sexy beast of a man out into the back alley of the club where I was celebrating. A few minutes of making out was all I enjoyed before three more men, just as sexy, emerged from the shadows. They said they were the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and I was a female of great lineage. After being kidnapped and forced to live in a mansion in Hell, they told me I would have to compete to earn the title of their companion. They kidnapped me, and then they wanted me to want them? It was too crazy, but at the same time, I found myself falling for each of them.

Conquest, the protector, and source of neverending passion.
Famine, the sweet and innocent one that I wanted to corrupt.
War, the one who rarely took anything serious unless it came to pleasure.
And Death, the one who hated me and hated how much he wanted me.

Was I insane for actually thinking of falling in love with my captors? Most definitely. But the more I fell for them, the more I learned about myself and the power that had been hidden from me for so long.
