Chereads / Crystal In Blood / Chapter 26 - A Problem Arises

Chapter 26 - A Problem Arises

As we got to my room I opened the door and let Damien walk into the room first, I followed Damien into the room and closed the door behind me before saying, "What do you want to do now?" He turned around and said, "I think is time for you to eat and get some rest for work." He headed towards the kitchen and started making food for me, he asked," What do you want to eat right now my sweet kitten?" 

 I couldn't help but say, "I know what I want to eat is you but you're not talking about that kinda of food. So, I want to have Mac and cheese with shrimp." Damien moved in a blink of an eye and grabbed my hands together, he pushed me gently against the door, lifting my chin up to him, and said, "Hmm, you are teasing me my kitten, but I didn't ask you who you want to eat but what you want to eat are two different means. For teasing me I think I have to come up with your punishment my dear kitten." He then kissed me on the lips and I purred as he did. He then put my hands down and walked back to the kitchen to make the food. 

I walked to the kitchen counter and watched him cook the food, after about 10 minutes Damien served me the food and I started to eat the food. I noticed he was staring at me while I was eating. I said, "Would you like to watch a movie with me tomorrow after I get off work? We can order some popcorn and some yummy candies." Damien thought for a moment and said, "We can watch a movie here my kitten tomorrow night because I don't think the movie theater will be open that late in the first place." 

I got up from the counter and as I took my plates to the sink and started to wash the dishes when Damien said, "Ah, we can watch movies on Amazon Prime Video Pride&Prejudice if you like my little kitten or do you want to watch something else?" My ears perked up and said, "Yes I would love to watch that on Amazon Prime, Can we watch some of the movies tonight before I go to sleep?" Damien chuckled and said, "Yes, we can watch some of the movies tonight." He got up and stood behind me, he put one of his hands around my waist, pulled me closer to him then whispered into my ear, "We can do other things as well as we snuggle tonight." He bites the tip of my ear and I made a small gasp. 

I went completely flushed in the face and Damien started to chuckle and said, "There that's your punishment for tonight from your tease earlier kitten." I turned my head, kissed his lips, and said, "Are you sure that's all the punishment you can think of?" Damien growled in my ear in a dominant tone and said, "Are you thinking of being a brat tonight and is this your way of telling me to punish you my cute kitten?" He then picked me up from washing the dishes and took me to the bed he softly threw me on the bed before climbing up over me and said, "I can do so much more than a small tease my kitten, but I am only going this far for tonight." 

I wanted him to take me again tonight but I guess his tease will work for now. I pouted towards him and said, "But-but I want you to take me and show me a good time again." I pulled my arms around his neck and pulled him closer where I could kiss him and he said, "Not tonight my kitten, I can take you another time even being this close to you is a temptation. Where I can't lose myself to you just yet or I will turn you without a thought." He kissed me on the lips deeply and he made another growling noise which sent joy into my body. 

He then rolled onto his side in the bed and pulled me close to him and he put his forehead against mine and said, "For now, be a good girl and stop the teasing for tonight, and let's watch Pride & Prejudice before you fall asleep." Because of him being so warm and the room being cold for some reason, I hugged Damien and listened to his heartbeat and I thought for a moment if he is a vampire how can he have a heartbeat? I looked up at him and said, "If you have a heartbeat how can you be a kindred?" Damien chuckles and says, "I can mimic a heartbeat my love but that doesn't mean I have a heart." I tilted my head to the side in confusion and said, "How can you mimic a heartbeat?" 

Damien flipped me over on my back and said as he was laying his head against my chest, "Simple my kitten that is because I am Tzimice." I played with his hair and said, "I see I am guessing you being a part of a clan you can get different gifts if you want to call them that of course." Damien chuckles against my chest kissing my lips again, "How adorable you are my cute kitten. Yes, you can call them gifts since you are new my love, the abilities of the Tzimice are to shape the flesh of ourselves and others, even heal wounds by literally fixing the damage and remove cancers and more." 

I had so many questions now in my mind about flesh shaping and said, "How can you guys flesh shape and won't it hurt?" Damien lay up and said, "So, many questions my love kitten but I have to say another time for answers because right now it is 2:00 am and you still have not slept I will give you the answers you want in the morning for me after I get you from work. Now, shush go to sleep." I wanted to talk more about the gifts he had and I want to know more about his kind. I said, "Very well my love I will wait until tomorrow then, you are going to stay with me for sleep yes?" Damien flipped us back over to where I was on top and he was on the bottom so I could listen to his heartbeat and keep warm. I laid my head against his shoulders and reached my hand to play with his long pretty black hair and said, "So pretty and sexy my love. I had never thought I would be with someone until now. I have a lot to learn about how relationships work." I was rambling on for hours until I fell asleep on Damien and I noticed he had put blankets on us to keep me warm on top of him. 

After a bit of sleeping, I could hear my alarm going off very loudly and I stretched on the bed feeling my way to the alarm to turn it off, I could smell something rather yummy and it made my stomach growl in hunger. I got out of bed to figure out what smelled so good and I heard Damien's voice, he said, "Good morning my sleeping beauty kitten." I rub my eyes to get a clear picture and all I can see is Damien walking towards me. When he got closer he kissed my forehead and guided me to the table of food he had made. 

I sat down at the table and I saw lots of fruit and salads with bacon and eggs with French toast. I said half asleep, "This looks yummy my love and when did you start to cook?" He chuckled at me for being half asleep and I bet he found it adorable, he said, " I started at 4:00 am kitten and once you get done with eating go take a shower and get dressed for work and I shall get your lunch ready for you." I smirked at him and said, "I thought I took a shower last night, why should I take a shower in the morning?" Damien walked up to me and kissed my forehead saying, "Last night you were tossing and turning, and the way you were crying in your sleep, I could tell you were having a not-unlike a fever dream. So, I thought you might want to shower when you woke up from sleeping." 

After 2 minutes of eating, I got up and took a shower like Damien recommended to do after I was done eating. I went into the bathroom, turned on the hot water before stepping into the shower, and said quietly, "Oh my goddess, this water feels so nice on my muscles." Damien opened the bathroom door and chuckled, saying, "Oh kitten if you can make those noises in the shower then I could make so many good noises come from you in bed as well. Your lunch for work has been made for you my cute kitten." He walked into the bathroom fully and headed to the shower I was completely naked showing from head to toe. He put out his hand as he was waiting for me to take his hand, I looked at him with a smirk and said, "I guess you couldn't keep away from me." Damien chuckled, pulled me in close, and whispered into my ears saying, "No I can't my lovely kitten, but is going to be hard from here on out without me near you. So, try staying in sight of your protector, and don't let anyone try to take you away from me." He touched my face with his hand and kissed my lips. 

After 5 minutes of messing around with Damien and putting clean clothes on, I followed Damien downstairs where a tall woman was waiting, she had shoulder-length metallic green hair and blue eyes, she turned to face me and Damien before walking up casually, she was wearing a graphic t-shirt depicting what looked like a scene from hentai on it and a pair of black jeans with a leather jacket over her shirt hiding it slightly, she wore a pair of combat boots, she bowed to Damien before saying. " Hello sir, thank you for giving me the chance to serve you. "

I watched Damien as he slightly sneered but relaxed. " You do not need to show such respect towards me Jura, just do your job and make sure she is protected." Damien pointed to me and this woman called Jura nodded and grabbed my hand shaking it gently. " hello I am Jura I will be your protector today till Damien or A'kreath can find someone who might be a bit better." she laughed slightly and let go of my hand.

Damien smirked and said, "Jura, you are as strong-headed as Crystal here then you too will be a perfect match. But, you need to keep an eye on her every move she makes." Jura matched his smirk and said, "Well, that was the plan just need to change clothes and what kind of job do you have Crystal?" I blushed at Jura because she looked like someone out of a movie and I said, "I-I work at a cafe and make herbal teas." She touched my shoulders and it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off of me and her eyes were smiling like a diamond would when it got hit by the sun the right way. She said, "Aw, she's adorable I think I will keep her as a friend Damien. No wonder you want to have her to yourself. Oh ok Let me get to the bathroom quick and I will follow you guys to the shop in town and we can work together Crystal." 

Damien made a small growl at Jura and she just kept on walking to the bathroom and waved her hand back at Damien and said, "I am joking about keeping her Damien but not the friend thing. I want to make friends with her." Damien said under his breath, "Why does it have to be her?" I looked at Damien and said, "Who is that?" Damien smiled and said, "That is Jura, she has been a regular here at the alliance." he said before looking back to me. " Just be careful."

Jura walked up and bowed again before saying, "Let's go now before the sun comes up, and Damien has to go to sleep." Damien nodded and we went to the garage where the cars were Damien walked over to a black demon of a car, it was older it looked almost like the car from the supernatural TV show, he opened the passenger side door, and waited for me to get inside the car I slowly stepped into the car and sat down looking out the window to see Jura getting on a sports bike and starting it up. It was a quiet drive to the shop I was watching the scenery outside and I saw Jura following us from behind on her motorcycle. I looked at Damien who was watching me from the side and he took my hand and said, "Keep your phone on you at all times and I want to you message me when you have lunch my kitten." 

I know he is worried and I will say I would be worried myself if he disappeared and I said, "I promise to message you when I go onto lunch break, so don't worry about me so much." I grabbed one of his hands on the steering wheel and rubbed his hand on my cheeks this made Damien smile and I said, "See it's good to see you smiling Damien." Damien chuckled and said, "She's right you know, you are adorable." 

After 10 minutes of driving Damien dropped me off at work, he left in a hurry but he called me as I was opening the door and he said, "Remember love call or text me when you have lunch, and keep safe." He then hung up the phone. I guess I need to be less headstrong and be open to someone who wants to take care of me. When I got to the register Jura came inside the cafe and she whistled and said, "Wow, I love the theme of this place and the placement of the herbs, and the teas. I would love to buy some herbs from you Crystal." I smiled and said, "Thank you, Jura, what type of herbs are you looking for and what are you going to do with them?" 

"Well, I was going to use them as a way to clear the body of any toxins but I can see, you have what I am looking for in bath salts for cleansing. I would like to buy those as well," she told me as she was going around the cafe looking at the herbs. After a little while, customers started to come into the shop and get the items they needed, two gentlemen came into the shop like they wanted to cause trouble for some reason. One walked up to the counter and said, "I think it is time for you to come with us, our boss wants to talk with you now." I looked at the man and said, "I am sorry but unless your boss needs something of me. He can come over here himself and tell me what he needs." I turned around and went back to organizing the teas and the herbs. 

When I turned back around Jura was behind me and she stopped the gentlemen from talking to me and she said, "You heard her, tell your boss to come over here and not the other way around." She then looked at me from the corner and said, "Go ahead and continue your inventory filling up. I can take care of these men for you." one of the other gentlemen stopped me from the other side from leaving and said, "I think you should come with us now miss Crystal." He was holding a gun to my head, and his eyes said he was not human at all, Jura attempted to strike at the gentleman at the counter but the man had her hand in his and crushed it without any effort or thought, Jura let out a blood curtailing scream as the man let her go and walked up to me as well. " Now instead of being a little bitch come with us now, or this will end badly for your little pet," he said holding an odd-looking gun to Jura who looked fearful.

Though Jura looked fearful she stood back up and tried to strike at the hand of the man that threatened her life but a loud shot rang out and Jura had a hole the size of a frying pan in her chest, her eyes were wide in shock, she fell to her knees before slumping down to the ground. " oops." was all the man said looking back to me. " Your pet is dead, now come with us, do not make this harder... wait, make it harder I want some fun." he growled out as the other man hit me upside the head knocking me out cold with the butt of his pistol, the world spun into darkness around me. "Did you have to ruin my fun Reggi?"

I eventually came to and looked around my surroundings, it was dark and smelled of death and decay, the smell of rust or iron was also in the air, where was I? "hello?" I called out but was met by a voice I did not want to hear ever again. " Awe the little fuck doll is finally awake." then a cruel giggle rang out. " And no blood sugar daddy to help you."
