Chereads / Crystal In Blood / Chapter 17 - Coming To Terms

Chapter 17 - Coming To Terms

Nikki stepped in front of me, before taking my hand into hers, and headed towards my room, she opened the door and pushed me inside, before stepping inside with me and slamming the door shut. She looked at me for a moment I could see she was upset but trying to keep herself calm enough not to yell at me and said as softly as she could, "Look Crystal, I understand you like Damien but in my opinion don't do it, whatever you are wanting to do just don't, he is a very old kindred and it looks as if he was going to just devour you." I looked at Nikki in a bit of a surprise I wondered if was she jealous or if she was just worried for my safety, though a part of me wanted to lash back out at her I felt my heart racing even more before I took a breath to calm my self down and said, "He is cute and sexy not to mention hot as fuck. You know that I haven't felt this way towards anyone, it is like I want him to take me and make me his but, another part of me doesn't want to be with him because of what he is." 

Nikki sighed shaking her head before looking me dead in the eye and placing her hands on my shoulders with a firm grip on them. She then began, "Sounds like you are conflicted and I think you need to listen to the side that is telling you to not be with him the most, Don't give in to this lust for Damien. I don't think it will work out between you two anyway. It is unnatural for a supernatural and a human being to go out with each other in the first place or to have any intimacy. Depending on what supernatural you go after, you can't have children, especially with Kindred." She looked genuinely worried about me but there was something else there I could see it in her eyes it was that same disdain for the supernatural as it was before during our time at the hot springs.

"Nikki not everyone thinks the way you do about this subject, it is not lust at least not in my eyes, I am genuinely attracted to this man. you are just jealous like Gabelli was about the possibility of me having a relationship! You know what you can leave now Nikki, if you are just going to put down anyone I want to be with I don't want you around right now." I told her because she wouldn't listen to anything that I had to say about my relationship with Damien. She pushed me towards the couch in my room before she sat me down upon it, and said, "Listen to me Crystal do you know Damien personally? I mean truly know him besides the fact you want to fuck his brains out, Crystal! he is the same monster as A'kreath, he is the one who trained him! don't fall into the hands of a monster who will just eat you and leave you for dead! " 

I shook my head at her question but as well anger began to well up in my chest making it feel tight and my heart raced my body began to tremble as I said, "No, but I want to get to know him on an emotional, sexual, and physical level Niki! Can't I do that with him at least?! or am I to just say no to getting to know anyone around here and possibly have an actual relationship instead of having someone steal them away from me before I can even have them know my damn name!?" Nikki sighed as her anger began to rise as well, she looked at me and began to say, "What if he doesn't want to get to know you from an emotional standpoint, what if he just wants you for your blood or just to fuck it and quit it? And you got wet by just him touching you, pure touch not so long ago? Do you truly understand what you want from him?" 

I nodded faintly to her understanding what she meant but at the same time I could not help but fall for this man, I replied, "I understand what you are getting at Nikki, and to your question, if he doesn't want to get to know me emotionally then he is not worth my time. But, for some reason, I feel like Damien is different than most guys I have met." Nikki sighed with a bit of a growl before she said, "Fine Crystal! Then let's give him a test Crystal, to see if he is different than other males, if he doesn't pass the test then you can't be with him." she said with quite an angry tone as if I had said something she did not like.

"How are we going to test him, Nikki? I bet you, he will know something is up when he enters my room." Nikki looked at me an evil grin spreading across her face before she said "You need to talk with him, ask him questions about himself, get him talking, if he stops and talks with you then maybe, he is worth something more than just the bloodsucker he is, get to know him and let's see if he has an interest in you back, asking a similar question. And before you say what if your heat gets the better of you then you can have intimacy with him. Does that sound like a plan Crystal?" I could see the demon side of her coming out just a little bit and it honestly scared me, but I was not going to back down from this chance at all.

 

 I looked at her, sighing unhappily, and said, "Fine, Niki we can have it your way for the time being. Nice, way of cock blocking me even if you didn't mean to, you know I would not have minded even if it was just a fuck it and quit it situation to actually feel what it is like." Nikki just shook her head as she was leaving the room, I said, "Where are you going Nikki I still want to talk to you." Nikki just started to laugh it sounded so evil she coughed a bit and said, " Sorry about that I am trying not to let the bitch out again, I feel like you might be head over heels in love but I want to make sure you are with the right guy, I will be overprotective even if it means getting in the way of a good time. Oh, I was about to head to the kitchen to make some food because knowing you Crystal you have not eaten lunch yet and I want to cook us something and you can ask your questions?" 

I shook my head knowing she was right I had not eaten lunch yet, and I knew she wants to protect me but why did she have to cock block me so hard, what if I wanted to feel what it is like to be with a man. I then said, "Well, there is one question that I have been wanting to ask you about for a while, how long have you been a demon?" Nikki stayed quiet for some time as if she was surprised about the question, or trying to figure out how to answer the question, " Well, I am only half demon Crystal and I have known for about my whole life." 

I wanted to tell her that," she could have told me that she was half demon and I would understand and protected her from whoever." But I said, "Half demon? is that possible? And why did you not tell me? Were you afraid that I might treat you differently? Or was it someone told you that I would scream my head off and abandon you? You know I treasure our friendship. We have been friends since we were little girls." 

Nikki started to laugh and cry, and said, "Crystal, I understand that you treasure our friendship and I didn't want to lose that if you did find out what I am. I did think you might run away and yes abandon our friendships but it looks like I was wrong and I am sorry for thinking that way, and how it is possible, is my father was possessed by a demon who fucked my mother while in my father's body, instead of his seed it was the demons, and poof here I am." She held her arms up as if going tada and giggled before starting to cook something for us to eat. 

I got up and hugged Nikki tightly before I said, "I completely understand that you didn't want to tell me but after everything, we have been through did you think that low of me to abandon our friendship over you being a half-demon? Look, Nikki, friendships are the most important thing when it comes to this. I am coming to terms slowly with every fairytale we have been told as little girls turns out to be true! Sometimes I felt like something out of a fairytale but instead of the maiden in distress, I was a warrior fighting for the people whom I care about are the maidens in distress and needing the saving, you are important to me Nikki, and granted you are not a maiden in distress, I will protect you if I can." 

 Nikki was about to say something but at that moment there was a knock on the door I let go of Nikki turned around and walked towards the door, upon opening it. My heart started to beat fast at seeing Damien again, my hands getting sweaty and my breath catching in my chest as i looked up to him feeling my loins burn again, I stammered a bit before finally finding my words "D-Damien, H-hi." Nikki stopped what she was doing poked her head from behind me and said, "Damien, hello." her tone was not friendly at all as she greeted him. " we are busy can you go away for like an eternity?" she covered her mouth realizing what she said and looked to me. "sorry! I did not mean for that to just slip out... What can Crystal do for you, Damien?

Damien chuckled that dark silky smooth chuckle of his making me weak in the knees again. He then said, in his deep velvety voice that made my mind just become goo "Hi little kitten and Nikki I am here for kitten I seem to have caused a problem and I fix the problems I caused." At this, I whimpered as my loins soaked my panties even more than before, I looked to Nikki who glared at me her demon coming out a bit more. Damion continues his statement. "She has needs that need to be taken care of." Nikki glared at him before moving me behind her grabbing Damien's throat with a clawed hand and growling out at him. "You won't be touching in any way you filthy bloodsucker! You will get to know her before anything happens you monster! I will end you if you touch her any other way besides comforting!" Damien only smirked at her, her claws did not even pierce his skin, he didn't even blink an eye at her before he said, " I will warn you once and only once little half breed, if you break the Elisium here I am unable to keep you alive for it is not me who will punish if not kill you for breaking it, that will be A'kreath. I can not save you and can not stop him, he is more powerful than I" He placed his hand on Nikki's are and she let go of his throat, as if against her will, she looked at her hand for a moment and felt the area he grabbed. " w-what did you do?" she asked rather calmly, she was more surprised then angry at the point and time.
