Chapter 7 - Pain

*the hut in the woods*

Lucifer reappeared with Khalan in his arms he rushed her inside, she was already unconscious and laid lifeless in his arms. He lay her on the bed and tore her dress into shreds and left only her chest coverage and underneath skirt, in order to get a better view of the stab.

It was five nail holes drilled through her body. She was already losing too much blood and Lucifer knew he had to act fast. He cursed that she wasn't a demon, else she would have healed by now. He checked the wounds and saw that they weren't poisoned, now he thanked his stars. He rushed to the cabinet in his room where he keeps the first aid kit. He had got them long time ago and never saw the use because he easily healed, but he left it there so that everything would seem normal with him to khalan. Well now, he saw the use of it.

He got the first aid kit immediately, and rushed to where she lay. He bent onto her and opened the box, but then realized, he didn't know how to use anything there and what it was used for. He scratched his head in frustration, and bit his lips as he cursed. His precious Sheba was dying and he couldn't do a thing.

"This is the only way"he said to himself, "l have to do this ". He had no other option than to heal Sheba with his blood. Demons had the ability to fill their blood with healing power and their blood could heal if the demon desires it to do so. He had thought of it before, but was too weak to go through with it he had lost enough blood already. He had used his powers for a lot of things today and could snap out the life of his mortal body if he didn't call his breaks.

But now, he didn't care about himself right now, all he wanted was for his Sheba to get well, and not die on him. Alas, he elongated his fangs, and bit his wrist, so deep that blood flowed continuously, non stop. After that, fill a cup with his blood, then allowed himself to heal. He then went to khalan, raised her head and supported it with a pillow then he sat beside her. He opened her mouth slightly and began to feed her his blood. She drank it with weakness though still not fully conscious.

As he fed her the blood, his mind wondered away, why had she taken the stab for him, was she really falling for him or did she do it unintentionally?. He really wished that his Sheba was falling for him because he was already head over heels for her. He just wished she would get well so that he can really know if she did it because of love or just for the friendship they shared.

She gulped the remaining blood in the cup and he cleaned her mouth for the blood excesses on it. As he wiped her mouth with a white handkerchief, he remembered the ugly sight of Elisha kissing his Sheba. He was once again filled with rage as he cursed her within himself. "I will surely kill you with my bare hands you despicable siren" he said with his face red with anger as he clenched his fists.

He stared at her innocent face, she looked too cute while sleeping. He looked down at her wounds to see if they were any improvement, but there were no signs of healing. He took it as that his blood was still getting used to her system since she wasn't a mortal.

He sighed and dropped the thoughts, believing that she would be fine. Then unintentionally, he used his gaze to rake her body. She was wearing just her underneath skirt and chest coverage because he had torn her clothes earlier not thinking twice that a time like this would come.

Though she wasn't fully matured but she was very attractive. He was staring at her bare stomach which was flat and her perfectly shaped belly button. He looked down to her straight beautiful long legs which were exposed, as her underneath skirt just stop at her mid thigh. He felt the urge to claim her already as she was provoking his side of fantasy and lust.

He looked upto her face again, to her beautifully carved lips. His Sheba, she was just too beautiful to be true. He fixed his gaze on her lips for some seconds then bent involuntarily to kiss as he could no longer hold himself.

He could already feel her hot breath, then he leaned in to kiss her but was cut short her groan. He drew back immediately as his eyes darted around her trying to know what the problem was.

Khalan was not entirely conscious, but she could feel the pain burning from her wounds she felt her limbs go numb so she could only use her mouth. She just called the only name that she trusted and cared for with her eyes still closed. "Nathan " she called weakly.

"Am here khalan", Nathan said grabbing her hands and placing it on his face. " Don't worry, l know what to do. You will be fine in no time. "

Khalan just nodded to his words, with eyes still closed. She was too weak to open them.

Immediately, Lucifer bit himself again this time not considering what his actions could result. After all he would have been the one in that state currently. He filled the cup with his blood again and fed her. This time, she drank it faster than before like she was really thirsty for it. Lucifer understood that she hungered for the healing effect because she was in so much pain.

He kept on feeding her his blood till she fell asleep again and her wounds were beginning to close. But it really did cost Lucifer alot of blood, because she drank about six cup full of his blood or more than , though he wasn't sure because he lost count when she was taking the sixth one.

Lucifer just tucked her in with the last strength in him. His eyes were already deeming, and his breathes seizing. Immediately, he teleported himself to his under world kingdom, looking dreaded, drained and out of life source.

"Master" Hal a demon amongst Lucifer counsel appeared on sensing his arrival. "Oh my! What happened? " he asked in horror.

"Hal? " Lucifer called.

"Yes my lord" Hal answered with a full bow.

"Make arrangements" he breathed " l need to renew my life source"...
