The Christmas Devil's Bride (2nd Book Of The Krampus Series)

His Underworld Family

It never occurred to Samantha that she will one day have to meet Krampus' family.

It never even crossed her mind that she will be kidnapped by it.

From her time with Krampus not once did he mention his family and when the topic would came up, he would change the subject at hand and it would sometimes leave her thinking if he ever had a fallout with his parents.

"Phyrra, what do you know about Krampus'...parents?"

A cold chill washed over Samantha as Phyrra suddenly gripped the cracked mug too tight that it made cracking sounds before she released it.

Samantha quickly pitied the handle of the mug. Phyrra breathed deeply and spoke very softly as if whatever she was saying could be heard from miles on end.

"Es ist nicht gut, über sie, Herrin zu sprechen"

"Her" only? So he only has a mother.

Samantha frowned and nodded slowly sipped her tea that Krampus always made for her every morning.

Phyrra was ever the collected one as the subject dropped and Samantha decided to spend the day in the library.

***

Nope, not the one I am finding

A frustrated Samantha scanned through the shelves she had been looking at for a long time. It was about the history of Krampus and his elves yet for some reason, none of them even mention about his parents.

This is getting me no where

Holding back a frustrated sigh, Samantha began to head to the other shelf when a cold presence suddenly wafted over her back.

It wasn't the familiar cold presence she felt whenever Krampus was around. In fact, this aas more chilling and a piss your pants type of chill.

"Mensch...."

Samantha sharply turned around only to see suddenly darkness as a dark shadow swept over the library.

Hours later, a lone elf had gone off to the library to find the mistress only to stop and tense up at the scent she had picked up and frantically looked around for her lady and mistress.

When she found none, the elf then made a low pitch screech that echoed across the dark home of the Christmas Devil. The rest of the working elves stopped as they all tensed up when the elf screeched again.

"Meister! Jemand hat Mistress genommen!"

***

A throbbing headache is what Samantha felt after she had awoken to the sound of something screaming?

Samantha's vision slowly became focused and what she saw made her blood turn cold and nightmares from her childhood resurface.

Is this Hell?

Everywhere around her were littered with bones, human bones and there were sounds of screaming and moaning like a horror movie that woild send any kid or adult to piss in their pants.

This is definitely Hell.

Samantha slowly stood up and glanced around the pile of bones that looked like it had been going on for miles on end.

Where am I in this part of Hell?

Samantha shook the thought of asking a dead person which way to go and proceeded to wander around looking for anything that could help her in this predicament.
