I wouldn't say I was fine with how my life has been going but it's not all bad. Everyone has to go through some stuff sometimes, usually doesn't involve dying three times but everyone has their problems. For instance I have to take a shower with someone that I have known for a single day, some will think that I'm blessed but this right now is torture.
"Are you coming? I don't like this anymore than you do" Aster admitted.
I stared at her for a second and took my clothes off with a lot of hesitation, in hopes that nothing happens during this ordeal.
Aster didn't take her eyes off me as I undressed, that little sadist was enjoying this. She didn't seem to mind me seeing her topless and doesn't seem to mind seeing me in this state. I plan on paying her back for this later.
I was done and didn't bother covering anything.
"You're bigger than I thought, your physique I mean" Aster commented.
I ignored her comment and just walked into the bathroom to get done with this as fast as possible, I wasn't going to be exposed for a second longer than I had to. Aster followed me trying to keep my pace. I got in first and without warning Aster stepped in with me making me nervous again.
"I thought we would take turns or I can scrub your back and you scrub mine" I said in confusion.
Aster looked up at me, "I assumed we were going with option two except that you also wash my hair, that is if you want to finish up faster, it's quite long so it takes a while" she said.
I thought it over and gave her a nod, "wait a minute, if it's such a problem then why not cut it?" I let slip out.
Aster looked at me as if I was a moron, "I can't, it's nearly indestructible like my bones" she answered.
I was half listening but mostly paying attention to scrubbing myself down until I noticed she was having trouble reaching hard to reach places. I was about done with myself and decided to help her. I pushed her back to the wall and bent done and grabbed one of her feet and started scrubbing, she was surprised but didn't try to resist. When I was done I started going up her legs making sure to get every spot, her legs were surprisingly bald.
"Do you not grow leg hair?" I asked out of curiosity.
She gave me a quick glance and looked up, "I only grow hair on my head, I had the follicles removed a few years back, it made moving painful," she told me.
I was amazed, her power has drawbacks but she deals with it so well, but then again she has had this power her entire life. I moved up to her thigh then stopped when she tapped on my head and said she could get that. I moved onto her back, she looked relaxed. She told me to untie the back to make it easier for me and I did as she asked.
It was easier without the string getting in the way, she was surprisingly calm on the outside.
I decided to tease her, "is this not embarrassing for you?" I whispered in her ear.
She jumped a little at my voice and looked at me a little flustered, "kind of, but it's just my back so no reason to freak out," she uttered.
I put more soap in my hand and began to scrub her lower back, some may have thought it was her butt. She turned as red as a tomato but knew she couldn't reach that spot easily herself. I stopped there and grabbed the shower nozzle and rinsed her down before I did something I would regret.
I made her sit down so I could wash her hair next, grabbing her golden locks into one hand then proceeded to run my fingers through it like a comb, it was really long. Her hair easily reached her thighs nearly down to her knees, I thought Lilith, Grace and Kana had long hair but their hair barely reached the lower back. Aster had beautiful hair, long and shiny.
Aster looked back, "you going to continue?" she asked, confused.
I looked at her and continued, "I love your hair, it's very long and if I didn't know any better I would mistake it for gold," I complimented.
She looked back down at her feet noticeably flustered then glanced back at me to say thanks.
I worked up to her scalp giving it a little massage in the process, her long hair likely put strain on the roots. I washed the shampoo off and repeated the process with some conditioner. When I rinsed her hair off she told me to turn around to scrub my back down to be done with this all.
"Do your powers have any drawbacks?" she inquired.
I thought about it for a second and decided she needed to know, "there's this voice I hear, well the other three girls heard it once too, it shows me how they will die, shows the world ending and tells me to kill them. Last time it happened that voice managed to control my body and tried to kill Lilith but couldn't because it didn't know how she would die, the only way I regained control was because Lilith stabbed me to death," I explained.
She looked at me in shock.
*You gave into your own hatred, soon it will make you go mad*
I ignored the voice and continued, "also I keep getting new powers and some of them I have no control over."
Then the familiar voice spoke up.
*Feast upon her crimson blood and protect her with all your being, don't let her die, don't let Beelzebub take her*
My body went numb, I watched as my body slowed time to a near stop, my teeth began to hurt as my upper canine teeth fell out, they grew back longer and sharper. I grabbed Aster's hand then gently bit her finger puncturing it with ease, I tasted her blood, her very sweet blood. Her finger healed as if nothing happened, time then unfroze and I regained control. Aster looked at me baffled, she didn't remember me grabbing her hand.
"When did you…?" she tried to ask.
I looked at her, my face a big wide smile, my teeth exposed with blood still staining one.
"New power and I forgot that there is another voice, a voice that helps me when something bad is about to happen. That voice froze time and made me take a sip of your blood and it was very sweet like honey," I tried to explain.
