Damien returned to me and picked me up before he sat down, and sat me down on his lap, before he said, "So, what do you want to do right now kitten." He pulled my hair back revealing my shoulder and neck. I looked up at him and said, "Well, I want to read one of your books." Damien chuckled and said, "Which book is that my kitten?" I looked around the study and said, "Do you have anything named The First Sin?" Damien looked around the room and said, "I believe I do, it's somewhere. Let me look for it my love and I will be right back."
He got up from the couch and headed up a set of stairs leading to a skywalk to look for the book and said, "You have good taste kitten." I wanted to get up and follow him but there was a knock on the door. I wondered who it could have been after what Damien did earlier, "I will get the door, my love." In the blink of an eye Damien was in front of me from the skywalk and said, "No, I got it, my love." Damien opened the door and Niki said, "There he is the one that used magic on my friend so that she fell in love with him and he is planning on turning her into a vampire."
I didn't understand what Niki was talking about but I know one thing is that Damien didn't use magic on me. One of the people said, "Sir, do you have a female in there by the name of Crystal Silverheart and would you please let us inside to see if the female is truly under a spell?" I peered my head around Damien before he said, " Of course, please come in. But I can tell you this no one is under a spell, Niki seems to believe her friend is under a charm of some sort. On the plus side, my kitten is here to take your test as well."
I looked up at Damien and said, "What test are you guys talking about?" Damien chuckled as the men walked into the study, he turned around and looked at me smiling. Niki was getting angry and said, "Smug ass bloodsucker! I got you now! you will be staked and burned! you will never hurt her again you sorry sack of rotting shit!" Niki walked in and walked up to me. "Don't worry Crystal we will get you away from this foul beast and get rid of him like the others."
I did not like the way she was talking about Damien, he knows how to be gentle with me. Niki was starting to get on my nerves with how she treated me like an injured puppy that needed her attention. I wanted to snap at her but I refrained for the time being. "Niki I would prefer you stand away from me, you have not been the best friend I grew up with, and you have been hurting everyone around you including me. How could you do all this?" Niki glared at me and said, "See who would say such things to their best friend since childhood! Why would her personality change so drastically unless they are under a spell?"
I turned my head away from her and looked at one of the gentlemen watching the interaction and said to him, " What spell is she talking about?" The man said, "Well, madam it's not a spell, she is talking about a charm that some vampires can do to lure their victims to them when the time comes. They will try their best to turn their victims into a vampire or ghoul, or just kill them."
I looked at Damien, who was smirking but his eyes were cat-like. I said, " I don't think that Damien would charm me even if I want him to but I don't think he would do something like that to harm me." Damien chuckled before he kissed my cheek and said, "I would never harm you, Kitten."
I looked at the guy who was watching us and I said, "Who are you guys or should I ask what are you guys?" Damien chuckles at the questions I asked them as one of them said, "Well, Madam we are ex-Vatican hunters, we came to investigate an odd case that was brought to us involving the interactions between a human being and a vampire."
Damien put me down on the ground as I said, " What are ex-Vatican hunters, why have I not heard of you before until now?" The other man walked towards me and said, " We used to work with the Vatican in Rome Italy of the catholic religion that had rules in place to keep supernaturals hidden from human beings." He waved something over me and said, "Do you still love the kindred the one you claim as your mate?"
I looked at Damien and smirked at him knowing for a fact I still had strong feelings for him and said, "Yes, I do still claim Damien as my mate. I don't think I was ever charmed like you said, Niki." The man said, "I have to agree with you miss there is no charm on you from your lover. As we can see, you guys are in love with each other. " Damien looked at the man and said, "On an added note, do you happen to know the name Gabriel Belmont?" All of the men stopped what they were doing before and looked at Damien. "Oh..." was all one said and looked at Niki. "As we can see it you are doing no harm sir, have a nice night, but as for you Miss." They said as they dragged Niki out of the study.
I looked at Damien wondering who this person was that he named. But at the same time, I wondered what the hunters would do to Niki as they dragged her out screaming and kicking. "Let me go you sorry sacks of shit! you are wrong something has to be up it is not natural!" Niki yelled as I followed the hunters and her up the stairs, I could feel Damien behind me as we reached the top of the stairs, I witnessed what they were going to do to Niki.
The hunters began doing rituals on her to try and remove the demon part of her as well as beating her with various whips and other objects, as it looked like she was going to die I felt and heard the familiar presence and voice of A'kreath, the tone cold and cruel. "I would stop your actions hunters. I do not appreciate bloodshed in my domain," he said as the hunters seemingly froze in place, one looked up in the direction of the voice. "You, the Vatican called you the New Cain." A'kreath slowly walked up to the group placed a gentle hand on one of the hunter's shoulders and nodded to him to leave, the hunters quickly grabbed their things and left the mansion as A'kreath just looked upon Niki's beaten and battered form. "Let this be a lesson to you, Niki, if you did not get rid of everyone, you would have had advice and help in this instance, do not shed blood in my domain again." He said before walking to the office. "Go get your self cleaned up Niki, this is your final warning."
