Niki got up, before glaring at A'kreath, and said, "No, this a lesson you need to learn A'kreath and that is keeping your word on protecting people you made a promise to. Yes, it might be hard to watch everyone but something like that between Crystal and Sania should have never happened in the first place." Damien looked at Niki in disbelief, "A'kreath can't protect everyone or watch people 24/7. He will be burned out."
I knew she was back on that and I was getting tired of the blame going to people, who did their jobs as best as possible. I felt sad about what Niki was trying to do but she needed to understand not everyone would come to my rescue so I said, "Niki, this needs to stop right now, I understand you want to protect me from harm but do understand that not everyone can come to my rescue for every little thing that happens to me. This why I need to be trained to protect myself, this is what A'kreath is doing and the only thing that is holding me back from completing the training is me using my fear to my advantage."
Niki looked at me and said, "Crystal, you shouldn't ever need to train yourself for anything in the first place. Because you should never been in danger in the first place." I was getting angry and folded my arms over my chest glaring at Niki, and said, "Enough, you making it feel like I am an injured puppy. Yes, I have been in danger from the beginning and the Sania situation, but realizing that A'kreath was not there for both times. We would both die or worse sold to the black spirals as breeders. I am thankful for everything A'kreath, Spazz, and Damien have done to keep us alive."
Damien pulled me close to him and whispered into my ears saying, "Calm down kitten, I can see you shaking." I wanted to kiss him to help me calm down but I didn't trust taking my eyes off Niki just yet. I watched her body language she did not like what Damien was doing and said, "Keep your hands off of her you stupid fucking bloodsucker."
Damien just smirked and kept his hand around my waist and A'kreath called out, " Are you trying to lose your last chance, Niki?" Niki looked over at A'kreath and said, "What I can't tell him to take his hands off her?" A'kreath stared at her and said, "You would tell a man who has not taken a mate in over 3,000 years to take his hands off of a woman, he is going to try and have a relationship with?" Niki was turning red in the face when she heard that and said, "It's not like they are meant to be together in the first place! She is a human being and he is a vampire, one will outlive the other no matter what happens, and on one side can't even have kids so what is the point of them being together ?"
A'kreath approached Niki and looked down at her, grabbing her by the jaw with his claws out and pricking at her skin, and said, " I could say the same thing about lesbians and homosexuals. They can't have kids with each other now, can they? So what is the point or here is a better question is the only reason to get into a relationship to have children?" Niki sighed and said, "No, you don't need to have children to be together but what if Crystal wants children like she has been talking about since she was a little girl when she finds someone she wants to be with."
A'kreath said, "They can come up with solutions, not us Niki." If looks could kill I think they both would win but in truth, it would be A'kreath who would win the contest as much as they are doing right now. Niki said, "Sure, let them find a solution, and if that doesn't work then what?" In a cold almost unfeeling tone he said, "I will say this only once, stop your petty little pathetic actions of trying to separate those two. They are obviously in love with each other and are happy, if you were truly a friend, you would be happy for your friend, not trying to tear her down."
"Listen, A'kreath I am protecting my friend from someone as dangerous as you and I will never tear her down. She can find someone better than he and she can," said Niki with a tone that matches A'kreaths. "Just because someone is dangerous is no reason to feel the need to protect an individual, observe and make sure they are not a danger to the individual yes, but Niki. That is tearing her down right here." He said his tone becoming worse as he forced her head to look at me and Damien. "Look at your friend and my sire, who are you to say they can't be together? It is like telling Kitty and Spazz two different change breeds they can't be together, love is love. Can you not accept that?" he said to her with a gentle tone.
"Look, I don't care for other people dating references just Crystals because it could be just a phase between her and Damien. I know Vampires can change their minds on who they want to be with and Damien could hurt her. So I am being the overprotective bitch as you might think I am with Crystal," she said while trying to fight against A'kreath. Akreath turned Niki head to face him again as he looked into her eyes, now showing no care no emotion at all. " One you claim to know vampires so well. How long is it before vampires need a break from each other, and the reasons why they do? And two, is love a phase? Because from what I know a phase is emo or goth, sometimes even other lifestyles. Not the attraction or love."
Niki said, "I don't know the answer to your question A'kreath and what happens if Crystal is a fae?" A'kreath sighed, smelled the air, and said, " She doesn't have fae blood in her the only thing that can be said about her by looking fae is her purple eye color." That would explain a lot of my ancestors having purple eye color. A'kreath smirked and said, "The reason Vampire couples need a break from each other is because they need room to grow and it takes at least 75 years before they will take a break from each other. As well vampires are more attracted to humans for partnership be it a relationship or a friendship, it helps them grow, learn, evolve."
"I don't care A'kreath about vampire couples, Crystal is not a supernatural which in my opinion should stay away from supernatural couplings and be with a human being," she said with an icy tone. A'kreath looked at Niki and tilted his head faintly. "if that is how you think then why did you get with a human being before at school, you knew what you were long before that point in time Niki, is that not being a hypocrite, you know one of the things you hate?"
Niki grabbed A'kreath's wrist as tightly as she could seeing it was futile. "That is fucking different." A'kreaths only tilted his head. "No Niki it is not, how can you stand there saying it is fucking different when you are a fucking half-breed supernatural who got into a relationship with a human. how is that any different?"
Niki glared at A'kreath balling her fists, I could see energy gather in one of her hands her demon self showing fully now, she raised her hand and released the energy at A'kreath's face, there was a lot of dust everywhere, I could only see Niki standing there but something did not seem right, there was a presence I could not explain as I felt Damien pull me behind him, I swear I heard him say sorry but what could he be saying this about, that is when around Niki's neck I saw a solid black hand bigger then A'kreaths hand. "Damien... what is that?"
Damien just stood there watching as the dust cleared slowly revealing a creature, a demon just like Niki. "Who..." was all I said before the creature was fully revealed, its skin was black as obsidian, its eyes burned an odd gold color, and the wings on its back, the wings numbered into double digits in pairs, and were all feathered and black, its hair was the only thing that told me who this being was its hair was silver, that was A'kreath's hair color, but it did not feel exactly like him.
I could see Niki look at this creature, what A'kreath became in utter shock as he picked her up by her throat and tilted his head to one side, as he spoke his voice was completely different it sounded like there was no emotion at all but there was a second and third voice sounding as if one was pissed and the other was saddened speaking at the same time as A'kreath did. "What are you!?" Niki screamed to A'kreath and all he did was put a thumb against her throat. "I am your death... you made your choice... now be gone," he said as his thumb just snapped her neck and she faded into red dust.
