Black Dahlia Skullgirls Novels & Stories

Callista begged. Dahlia’s eyes darkened. With a flick of her wrist, Callista was flung backward by telekinesis. She crashed against a tree with a sickening thud. "Callista!" I cried and tried to run to her, but Dahlia blocked my way. "Not so fast, human girl. The game has just begun," she said, her smile turning cruel. She chanted in an ancient tongue, and the squirrel Callista had tossed earlier morphed—its body grew, bones cracking and limbs stretching. It became a monstrous beast with glinting eyes and razor-sharp teeth.

Is it something bad? I pressed my ear to it, but nothing. After a while of staring at it, I finally decided to open it. However, what I found inside, rendered me speechless… Inside were black dahlias. Elegant and ominous at the same time, a black card was attached with it. ‘You refused my deal. Now watch how fast the world burns — Alexander Veyrek.’ My eyes stared, frozen at the flowers, dumbfounded and shocked. What the bloody—!?

Chapter One: A New Beginning Aqua’s heart raced as she walked through the imposing iron gates of Crestwood High. Another town, another school, another chance to start over—if only it were that simple. At 5'10", her presence commanded attention, but she preferred to stay unnoticed. Her dark skin glowed under the morning sun, and her eyes, a striking shade of amber, held secrets untold. She pulled her hood tighter, hoping to shield herself from the prying eyes she could already feel on her.

**Abaddon’s POV** Aurelia Rivers. The new girl at school. Funny how Black's High always seemed eager to figure out a new person way before they even settled in. Janelle knew exactly what she was doing by inviting her over to the group. The disgust I felt when Drey tried to flirt with her—worse, she seemed to enjoy every bit of it. Of course, my aura pressed down on her. She felt intimidated by my presence. Yeah, you should be.

*Dahlia* *DAHLIA* *DAHLIAAAAA* *I’m horny* *Like really horny* *I can’t get in the mood with anyone else. You have to save me* *I’m dying, actually dying and I have proof* I stared at my phone in horror as another message came through. This one was a photo. Every instinct I had screamed at me not to open it. Nothing good could come from opening a photo sent by Jace Blackmoor at midnight after he’d just told me he was horny. *Don’t click it,* Mena begged. *For the love of the Goddess, don’t click it.*

"I'm afraid deary, it won't be as simple as me spitting and pissing in a bowl this time. We'll need the eye of a –" Isis was cut off by a cloaked figure I almost forgot was with us. "Eye of a Zombie, the teeth of a Banshee, virgin's blood, and the flame of a dragon." the bone man grinned. "I'm Major Skully, at your service madam," he took his top hat off and bowed. "I'm Hazel and this is–" "Irena," he whispered as he took in Isis' appearance. "Well, I know Irena is dead, but you look so much like her."

CHAPTER FOUR DAHLIA Dark, black hair. Blue eyes that signaled he was a god on the ice. That he was born for it. It made women burn inside for him. "That a certain nuisance no longer has his shit cleaner by his side. I'm expecting to see more collosal mess ups this time around." I didn't know if I would say I wanted that too. I didn't know if at this point I didn't really care about Evans and I was just trying to save my hide.

Above them, the ceiling cracked open, revealing a starless sky that pulsed like a beating heart. Nihareth lifted both arms. "Bring me the final relic." A female follower approached, cradling an ornate golden skull wreathed in thorns. She knelt and offered it forward, her hands trembling. "The Skull of Orun, taken from the old vault in the east." Nihareth took it with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. He turned to the altar and placed the skull into the hollow at its center. The air turned colder instantly. The ground beneath them shook.

Sky and Dahlia saw how ashamed Jade felt and they giggled. Dahlia stepped outside to receive some fresh air when she looked up and saw that it was going to be a full moon. She rushed back to class and tells Jake secretly so the others wouldn't hear. They both went to the janitor's closet so they could hold him off in there. Dahlia quickly grabbed things she thought would hold off Jake's wolf out of the closet. He told her to hurry up that he couldn't hold his wolf in any longer.
