"Fuuucckkk! Yesss!!!" Dani's sweaty, naked body shook with the power of her orgasm, a deep moan escaping from her mouth. She had indeed gone straight to bed but her unfinished business from earlier meant she was in no state to sleep, her mind was full of thoughts of sex and she now lay on her bed, frigging herself to yet another solitary orgasm.
Her free hand continued to tug at her nipples, teasing the last bits of pleasure from her body whilst her other continued to thrust in and out of her wet pussy. Until finally she was done and she lay back panting, smiling in deep pleasure, sweat running in little rivulets down her stomach, off her brow and around her large tits.
After regaining a little of her composure she pulled herself of the bed and slipped on a thin, silk nightdress. She walked out of her room and headed towards the kitchen, after her strenuous 'exercise' she needed a glass of water. It was after midnight and so she was quiet as not to wake Carrie, who would no doubt be asleep. When she reached the large staircase which headed down to the ground floor Dani noticed a pale light emanating from the corridor that led to the large southern extension. It was a odd part of the house, apparently added a while after the initial building and in a more gothic style than the rest of the house. Dani hadn't really planned on using it much, there were a couple of rooms she thought she might use as guest rooms and a large library she had intended to use as storage for her case files but not much else. However it looked like a light had been left on, assuming Carrie must have done it when she was searching for her room she headed off down the corridor.
As she walked down the short flight of stairs that led to the southern wing, Dani noticed that the light wasn't the normal yellowy or white colour of an electric light but a strange hue of grey and purple. It soon became apparent that the light was coming from the library and Dani hurried towards it wanting to find the source and then hopefully get back to bed.
Dani rounded the corner into the library and gasped in shock. The large room was still full of empty bookshelves and cabinets but now where a wall had stood earlier in the day was now opened to a small extension of the library. Dani was sure there wasn't meant to be a room there, let alone one normally hidden by secret doorways. The extension seemed to be a small study area with several desks and bookcases all covered in old books and other strange clutter, however dominating the study were three darkly glowing gateways set into the back wall of the room. Each was framed by a stonework archway that seemed to have inscriptions around it as well as bizarre stone gargoyles carved into shapes of demonic monsters. Inside each archway light glowed in swirling colours of grey, black, purple and strange raw darkness.
Dani slowing approached the study not really believing what she was seeing. The gateways clearly led somewhere but the swirling colours and a light mist obscured any attempt to see where they went. Gingerly she crept around the study, avoiding getting too close to the bizarre archways, beginning to feel cold, her light night dress flapping around her body in cool breeze spreading from the gates.
She looked around at the desks, which sat against either wall, each was covered in books. Most were old, worn, leather bound volumes, some lay open and seemed to be filled with insane doodlings. Some were notes and commentary in many different languages, some English but also Latin, French, what looked like ancient Greek and others that Dani simply could not identify. Pictures and diagrams of bizarre creatures, strange mathematical notations and ritual instructions also filled the pages. Each book seemed obsessed with magic, monsters, demons and what looked like hell.
The odd items surrounding the books were no more normal with strange talismans from a myriad of differing cultures, carved bone implements, jars full of unidentifiable organic objects or brightly coloured liquids. The whole scene was completely alien to Dani and she was a little afraid but she began to understand what the gates were, clearly she thought there were part of some occult experiment. Despite less than supportive comments from friends and family Dani has always been a believer in the occult and the power of magic. A catholic upbringing had laid the groundwork and a brief rebellious phase as a teenage goth had added to it. She might be a successful lawyer now but that didn't mean she didn't think there were greater powers in the universe.
Now to actually see something like this was just incredible, and deeply intriguing. Who has created the gateways and why, she really couldn't say. They looked almost new but no one had lived in the house for several decade. She'd heard were odd rumours about the previous owner being some mad old man but that didn't mean he was a wizard. And why were the gateways still working and where did they lead? She just had to know. So carefully she stepped towards the trio of glowing stone archways.
Each appeared almost identical, made of black stone and full of dark and swirling colours. The only apparent difference were the carvings around the edges. Each inscription, though written in a language that she couldn't recognise let alone understand, appeared different and the gargoyles and statuettes were also different. The central arch was surrounding by large and menacing demons, tough, often heavily armoured and ready for battle whilst on the top a beautiful snake like woman was carved a wicked yet playful grin on her face.
The left hand arch was surrounded by a mix of strange and perverse demons dressed in bizarre clothes and often half naked and humans, mostly young and female who seemed to be being tortured by the demons. Finally the right had arch was surrounding by slug like monsters and fat, rotting beasts dripping in slime.
As Dani studied arches something really strange occurred, she knew she still couldn't read the inscriptions but somehow their meanings began to become clear in her mind. It began with general impressions of darkness and of hell but soon she new exactly what each said. Each started with the same warning, "The door to hell is now open. Enter at your own peril.", before describing it's destination. The centre one read "To the Ninth Circle of Hell. The domain of the her high and mightiness, the most evil and wicked one, Salrissa.". The one to the left read "Enter the Circle Sixth. Let your deepest pleasure and pain become real.", whilst the last read "The Eighth Circle. The Circle of Decay, Disease and Slime.".
Dani slowly took this all in, standing before the gates, ideas flashing through her head, she knew she should really leave the library and seal it up for good. It simply couldn't be safe for her or Carrie to live near such things. Yet she was immensely curious, she desperately wanted to know if what the gates claimed were real, could she visited hell and what would it be like.
Dani continued to stand staring at them for several minutes as slowly but surely that little darkness we all keep inside of us tempted her to enter hell. She became convinced that their would be much to gain by going to hell, clearly whoever had built the gates had put a lot of time and power into it so it just had to be worthwhile. And the images carved around the gates and in the books began to tempt her too, the demons and monsters both the males and females were obviously wicked and evil but enticing and strangely desirable too.
Finally she decided, she had to go, her curiosity had to be fulfilled, she had to see hell. She began to walk to the central gate when the inscription on the left promising the deepest pleasures caught her eye and with a wicked little grin on her face she strode into the gate.
Chapter Two -- The Sixth Circle
The dark light surrounded Dani, filling her vision, becoming her entire world. The moment seemed to last forever yet is was also over in an instant at the same time. Dani felt as though she had travelled a thousand miles yet was just a few feet from her library. As she travelled a word echoed in her mind, an inhuman word, but very important. She didn't know how she knew but none the less was sure that simply uttering the word, no matter where she was would return her out of the gate and back home. Dani knew she would be safe and then the light faded and as the gate had promised Dani stood on the Sixth Circle of Hell.
She looked around, initially unimpressed. She stood in a long, dark stone corridor, the walls made of black and grey bricks, the whole place lit by occasional burning torches. The corridor extended beyond Dani's vision in both directions and she was about to begin walking down one way hoping that not all of hell would be this boring when she noticed something else had changed. Her nightdress was gone and somehow using it's magic the gate had given clothing more suitable to the sixth level of hell. And she was stunned by what she was wearing; a pair of thigh high, black leather boots which accentuated her long, smooth legs, an indecently skimpy leather thong which she could feel pressing tightly against her pussy lips and vanishing up between her ripe buttocks, a studded leather collar wrapped tightly around her neck, her hair, no longer free and flowing was held in a ponytail clipped together by black metal clasp and most surprisingly of all she wore a small, leather corset, tight around her curves and without cups so that her large breasts and pert pink nipples were on display. A brief flick along her lips with a finger told her that her make-up had changed too, gone were her normal pale colours, her lips and nails were now painted a deep black.
Dani ran her hands over the slick leather and she had to admit that not only did she look amazing but it made her feel incredibly sexy. With a spring in her step and breasts bouncing freely Dani headed off down the corridor.
Despite it initially appearing infinitely long and completely empty Dani soon came to three doors set in the side of the corridor, the doors seemed to appear out of nowhere as she had approached them. She now stood in front of them and examined each in turn, a little apprehensive about what could be behind them.
The first door was made out of a black wood, ornately curved into strange geometric patterns. She leaned a little closer and could hear a lot of noise and commotion coming from behind it, in fact it sounded like a busy street. The second door, made of steel, old and rusted with what looked liked bloodstains all over it was much more menacing and Dani could hear screams of pain and what might have been pleasure from behind it. The last door was also metal but this time a strange black steel, perfectly smooth and gleaming. At first Dani could hear nothing behind the door but as she pressed her ear to it she though she could just make out pants and moans coming from a woman. Unsure of where to go but knowing she simply could not come this far and not find out what was in hell she pushed open the first door.
