Chereads / Crystal In Blood / Chapter 24 - The Sabat Returns

Chapter 24 - The Sabat Returns

I nodded to Spazz and said, "Yes, Please Spazz he would need to know these things are happening. I am going to go talk to Kitty and Niki." Spazz chuckled before he said, "Go ahead lass they are in the kitchen making desserts and by the smell of it cookies." I turned towards the kitchen wondering what would happen after Spazz told A'kreath what was going on, as well I wondered who was after me and why they were after me, as I stepped into the kitchen I stopped at the threshold and saw Kitty and Niki at the counters looking as if they had an assembly line set up for cookies, I looked back at Spazz before asking. "Should I come with you Spazz to confirm the call?" Spazz tapped his foot and said, "Lass don't worry about a thing right now, and go to Kitty and Niki. We got this and don't worry I believe A'kreath will tell Damien what happened." 

I nodded to him, turned to face the kitchen, and headed toward Niki and Kitty. as I approached them I could smell the yummy cookies and walked up to hug Niki from the side and said, "Thank goodness you aren't kidnapped, and where is your phone, Niki?" Niki looked surprised by my statement and said, "Crystal who would want to kidnap me and on that note, I don't think they want me either. I believe it's back at the hot springs, why?" She asked confused by the question. 

I looked at Niki and said, "You need to keep your phone on you and now you need a new one because someone has it and is using it like they have you. So, please make sure you don't leave here without your phone Niki." Niki stared at me for a moment and started to laugh and said, " Now you sound like danger is coming for you and I believe we are safe here Crystal, but to keep your peace of mind I will buy a new phone and make sure I have it on me." She hugged me and smiled brightly, she looked like the old Niki again this made my heart lighter and feel happy but now the question was who was behind the call?

Kitty looked at us and said, "Darlings, enough and Niki danger can still come around people when someone has a mind to cause chaos around people they don't like for example Crystal is a human being, and since she is human some supernaturals hate humans for their reasons and it is the same for humans hating supernaturals for their reasons as well. Danger never goes away it's always here around us. But Crystal you are safe here and A'kreath will make sure of it and you two are a part of this family now, so I know for a fact..." She stopped talking when Sania walked into the kitchen and said, " Aw the human fuck toy is in the kitchen. Are you hungry fuck toy? Kitty, why do you even socialize with humans when you can be mean to them?" 

Kitty watched Sania and said, "Just because you hate humans Sania doesn't mean I have to be mean, unlike you, humans are more fun to hang out with than the company you bring here. Now if I were you I would think about calling Crystal a fuck toy before someone makes you think otherwise, it shouldn't matter who Crystal likes as long they don't hurt her or break her to where there is no return." Kitty sneered at Sania and crossed her arms under her chest showing she was rather proportioned. 

Sania smirked and said, "What if I keep calling her a fuck toy and who do you think can stop me from doing so huh Kitty?" Sania pointed to me and said, "She doesn't deserve to be with Damien, he needs to be able to have someone who can keep up with his desires and not get too tired of the sexual activities." Kitty said, "Oh! is the little blood sucker jealous that the man who loves no one finally fell for someone and she is mortal? Awe poor little bat, why don't you take a step back and let Damien decide what is good for him, besides that what does it matter to you, Sania?" Kitty looked pissed but had a cheeky smirk on her face as Sania sneered.

All I could do was stare in awe and surprise at the back and forth between Kitty and Sania. At first, I wanted to say something but something told me to just let Kitty deal with Sania and oh boy she did take care of Sania because now Sania was red in the face to the point I thought I saw smoke coming out of her ears. She turned and left the kitchen as I said, "Damn, Kitty I couldn't imagine you doing something like that Kitty, thank you and I don't understand what I did to piss that woman off." Kitty chuckled and said, " I have dealt with people like her before and it was not pretty, you don't need that kind of drama on your mind right now darling Crystal. Plus, someone needs to put her in her place when she acts like that, and do tell me when that happens because I bet even you have Damien. He will not hurt you but he will protect you, he is so loyal to anyone he is with." 

Damien snuck up behind me and hugged me from behind nuzzling his face into my neck before whispering in a deep-toned voice in my ear, though I think Kitty heard it, "Kitten, she is right you know I am loyal to a fault where anyone messes with you they have to deal with me. So what brought up the topic from Kitty?" I could tell Niki didn't like the way Damien was hugging me but I didn't care and Kitty said, "Well, somebody wanted to pick on Crystal for no reason, and say that you deserve better than her. I just told her that you will not even blink an eye towards her as partner/lover and if she kept on calling Crystal a fuck toy someone will make sure that those words will never leave her mouth again." 

Niki got up and headed out of the kitchen before Damien said, "Niki I know you don't like me but I will protect Crystal, as well as you even if you do not want me to, but for right now we need to talk in A'kreath's office Spazz brought something to us that concerns both you and Crystal. We have a plan to get rid of them fast before something happens to either of you." 

Niki looked at me then back to Damien and said, "If it's about the kidnapping I don't believe they will do any harm but it doesn't hurt to have a plan in play just in case. If this happens again that is, and you are right I don't like you but if you make Crystal happy then I shall understand the love you two put off of each other. But if you hurt her Damien then you will deal with me and you can suffer." her eyes flashed at Damien, he only smiled and had an Intrigued look on his face at her reaction.

I watched them explain to each other on how they felt about each other and I made a small joke saying, "Why don't you guys just kiss each other, you both are acting like an old married couple that has been in a fight too many times before." I got a glare from Niki who said, "Crystal, never make a joke like that again, I would never kiss him in this life or the next. I believe we need to head to the A'kreath office since the matter is still at hand." Damien chuckled before turning to look at Niki. " Though hatred can last in the soul for a very long time Niki you do not know that exactly, you might be surprised if the events had been different from this life you might like supernaturals a little bit more than this life." He said before nodding and leading us to A'kreaths office.

Damien Knocked on the door lightly before walking into the Office Niki and I followed him inside the office to see Spazz talking to A'kreath who seemed to be colder than normal, his eyes looked at me and Niki before returning to Spazz. " I got the info back from the Glass Walkers, the phone is no longer in Texas, it is in Main." Spazz looked puzzled before saying. " you don't think?" Damien upon hearing Main seemed to be on edge. "Let's not jump to that conclusion Spazz it could be someone else trying to mislead us if we tried to go with Crystal." This confused me, what were they talking about and why did Damien all of a sudden get what seemed to be anxious? 

A'kreath shook his head. " Not his style anyway he is too cowardly to go through anyone else like that, he goes directly for what he wants. No this is someone else, and if my hunch is right, I know who because they still have not let go." Spazz looked at A'kreath for a moment. "You mean?" A'kreath just nodded faintly and looked to Damien who said. "Annabell." A'kreath just sighed and added. " or someone she is connected to called a favor from her. I thought after last time we were done with them." A'kreath placed his hand on his desk I could see claws extending from his fingers and digging into the desk. 

Damien only stepped between me and A'kreath before saying. " you will need a new desk at this rate A'kreath." Niki looked just as confused as I did before she asked. "Who are we talking about?" she asked as A'kreath leaned back into his chair and growled low. "The Sabat." Spazz seemingly shivered before nodding.

Niki looked at them before looking back at me. "Why would they want Crystal?" she said looking back at A'kreath, who was standing up slowly and unbuttoning his jacket. "Possibly to get at Damien or to antagonize me again." Niki watched him for a moment before walking up to A'kreath. " More information Blood Sucker!" she demanded from him, Damien sneered before saying. "Niki! I can not protect you from him if you push too far!" A'kreath just looked down to Niki his cold eyes meeting hers. " and I will tell you, give me time." he said in a calm tone as he removed his jacket and placed it on the desk. 

A'kreath gently pushed Niki out of his way walking around his desk to a bookshelf and pulled down a book with a knife and a pistol. " The Sabat is a group of Kindred who wish to adopt a new tradition while the Camarilla wants to stick to the old ways, they tend to cause chaos in Camarilla cities to break the Masquerade for them. Now as for the individual Damien mentioned was my mentor's... lover, he left her when Spazz got out of the Silver Forge and made the alliance, she attacked us once killing my sister and my mentor. That day I warned them not to bother us again." He pulled the pistol out and placed it into a holster and the knife was placed into a sheath, Niki just watched him. 

As A'kreath finished placing the items in the hallowed book on his person he placed the book back and looked to Niki. " Any other questions?" he asked before turning to me.
