The Two Kings (Afterlife Saga) (25 page)

She was naked all but
for
a long black cloak around her shoulders and the hood was raised. Her hair was down and wild blowing around in the
windy
night breeze. Her eyes glowed like the full moon above
, white and pearly. H
er nails grew
impossibly
long until they
curled round back into her own hands
. They pierced the skin
like razor tipped arrows
and she howled in pain or pleasure
,
I couldn’t tell.
Blood spurted into the air from the contact and looked like a black fountain glistening under an evil moon. I felt like I would soon lose my stomach contents but when I thought it couldn’t get any worse
I felt the bile rise at the next stage of Yvonne’s demon phase.

Her chanting was getting louder and each time I listen
ed
, I would see something in her change. She moved the looped nails together and they interlocked
,
the blood sealing the bond,
before creating a power source in the middle of them all. It got brighter and stronger, growing with every foreign w
ord that passed
her spit covered lips. She was now losing liquid out of every orifice and I wrinkled my nose
as if I could smell rancid
cheese
mixed with bleach
. Her skin looked like plastic that was being stretch
ed to the point before breaking, the blood behind, bubbling just beyond the surface, giving her body a deadly glow.

Then something happened. The ball of energy had reached its sizable limit causing
it
to explode,
making the room
fill with a blinding light, as though
the house had created its own blue sun. George fell backwards off his chair and pulled his body backwards into the corn
er like a frightened child. As
before
,
I couldn’t move and wanted desperat
ely to run to him to comfort the shaking man
. Then a clicking noise like a giant cricke
t was outside, started
get
ting louder before showing itself. It was Yvonne, who
had
floated up to the window an
d with her hands raised up
,
it made
her h
ead look bigger. Then the imag
e kept
changing from the truth to
what George was seeing. Where I could see Yvonne in her Demon form, he was watching himself be a
bducted by an Alien figure
through the window.

He was screaming and when the clicking noise turned into a deafening high pitch
ed
scream
,
he placed his frightened hands over his ears. I had tears st
reaming down my face
. Then the light disappeared and the feeding began.
By this time
George was in a state that was
so
beyond fear. He was no longer aware of anything around him, so Yvonne walked over to him and I got first hand a Demon feeding from a human.

It was like
nothing I had ever seen before and my breath caught
a
s a wave of fine blue mist
flowed out of his body
. I
t clearly didn’t hurt as he wasn’t even aware that he wasn’t alone. She placed a hand on him
gently
and it looked like she had
just had
an orgasm. She let out a long moan and
then
touched her nak
ed body with her hands
that were now back to normal. All of her had returned to how she first looked. And when she was finished
,
she kissed him on the head before turning to find me in her way at the window. I don’t know how I had moved but I knew it symbolised my need to stop her. This time she saw me as my body was whole again.

“Mmm
...
Electus
,
I bet
you
taste good
.
” (
Means “
C
hosen
”
in Latin) H
er voice was like ice and I couldn’t do anything but feel my skin pri
ck
le
, feeling the
aftermath
from her
feed. My skin wasn’t the only thing in the room to g
r
o
w
cold. The moon came out filling the room with
a
natural
blue
light and I looked
up,
to see the walls cracking as they had now turned to ice. The floor was also being affected by this Demon and the freezing cold travelled up my legs after leaving the floor.

I wanted to cry out but nothing came. The Demon Yvonne got closer and the ice melted under her ste
ps but refroze when she left each
space. Her nails grew once more but unlike last time
,
they forged into one long
, flat blade and before I knew what was happening
she
rushed
at me. I trie
d in vain to move but my legs were frozen to the floor boards below. Then
,
happening in the
blink of an eye, she
plunged the blade into my gut
,
making me bend over it and spit out blood over her naked body. I looked up to see her face change into Layla and I screamed out in
both
pain
and cruel fear
!

Then I shot upwards
,
gripping the pain in my
lower
stomach. It took me a while to realise I was in bed with Draven and he now had his arms around me but I couldn’t
hear what he was saying,
because there was a ringing in my ear from the noise Yvonne had been making. I pushed it out of my head until my senses came back into focus. I was panting and Draven rubbed my back like Sophia had done earlier.

“That was a bad one
,
” Draven said bringing me back even more to the room I was in. I nodded but then let out a moan as my period pains had come back with a vengeance. Draven noticed me grip
at my stomach, so he
whipped back the covers before I could stop him. The curtains f
l
ew back and light filled the room.

“No
,
don’t
!
” I said through the pain but he wasn’t listening to me. He put his hand to the wet patch below me and lifted it to the light. My blood was on his hands…literally. I wanted to cry! I saw his face go pale before worry replaced it.

“Keira
, what’s wrong...
did I do this to?
” He was trying not to shout but you could see it was difficult. He was angry with himself at the thought of hurting me.

“Oh no...
no, no
, no
!
”
I said before burying my face in my hands. I c
ould feel the tears wet my skin
and then another almighty cramp brought me round.

“Keira tell me, what have I done?” He voice was pleading.

“It’s not you
,
it’s me. I’m so sorry you had to see this
.
” I was so ashamed
,
it was worse than any pain my uterus was causing me.

“Then if it wasn’t me
, then?....
…Ah I see
.
” He said as the bloody penny dropped, no pun intended! He relaxed instantly now he knew I was in no danger. He had already produced a cloth to wipe his hand clean before pulling me into him.

“Keira do not be sorry, I just wished you would have told me. I knew something was wrong but I never expected…”

“What? ... It to be so gross!” I said bitterly

“No!
...
It t
o be so….so human
.
” He said softly, before kissing me on my forehead.

“Do not be embarrassed Keira, it is only natural. Are you in a lot of pain?” He was soothing back my hair of
f
my wet face and when I jerked from the pain, he froze.

“I guess that is a yes
.
” He got up from the bed and even in this situation I still gasped at the sight of his amazing naked body on full view. He came back with some tablets and water. I took them and he knelt down to wipe the tears from my cheeks. I was about to apologise again but he put hi
s
finger to my lips.

“
Ssshh
don’t do that
,” h
e said before kissing me.

“Right well let
’
s get you sorted
.
” He said and was about to pick me up but I protested.

“Please
,
I am so ashamed already, I can do it
.
” I said getting up and making sure to hide my behind! He didn’t like me getting up on my own
,
but come on
,
it wa
s only a stupid period! I was about to look
back at the mess I
’d
made of the sheets but before I could
,
Draven stopped
me. T
hen a few seconds later he let me look. The sheets were clear and like brand new.

“You’re too good to me, thank you
,
” I said thinking that I had the most caring boyfriend ever. He re
ally was so sweet with me that i
t
kind of made me want to cry but thankfully I didn’t. At least now I knew why I had been so sensitive lately.

“I a
m not good enough, if I were
, then I would have noticed this sooner. Why didn’t you tell me?” He looked hurt that I hadn’t mentioned this to him and I really didn’t want to tell
him
why but I couldn’t see a way around it.

“Don’t get mad
,
ok
?
” This made him raise his eyebrows with curiosity.

“I thought you wouldn’t like me as much, you know because we can’t have sex
.
” As soon as I said it I felt a guilty lump form in my throat. Now he looked
really
hurt.

“Is that what you think of me, that sex is the only
thing that I am attracted too?
Oh Keira
, how could you?
” He moved away from me and I couldn’t blame him, if it had been the other way around I would have been very angry.

“You said you wouldn’t get mad
,
” I said quietly.

“Did I?” He asked
sarcastically as we both knew he didn’t.

“Look I’m stupid and
way over
sensitive, I know this but I am so sorry
.
” I was close to pleading.

“Sensitive YES but stupid no…N
ever!” He was coming back around and I almost wanted to laugh as I realised I had never argued with anyone in the nude. I went up to him and raised his face up to
mine
as he was sat on the couch looking down.

“Please forgive me, I get over
sensitive when it’s the time of the…well you know and it plays on my insecurities. And when I still find it hard to fully understand what it is you see in me
, all
those insecurities
get the better of me and make me say and think bad things
.
” This was turning out to be the worst sorry in history but in a crazy way it seemed to be working. Until I added the icing on the cake and started trying to swallow over and over
,
as I knew what was coming! Oh God
,
please No!

I ran from the room and nearly ripped the door off to get to the bathroom fast enough. There
,
I threw up in the most expensive toile
t I had ever used. I was saying a priva
t
e
prayer to God, asking for Draven not to hear me but I was too late, it was worse than hearing me, he was seeing me. His hands came to my face and pulled back my hair like he had read a manual on attending to sick girlfriends. Once he had it all
,
he held it tight with one hand and with his other he soothed my back.

“Please don’t watch
,
” I said before more came up. The pain was nothing compared to my utter shame!

“Ssshh, don’t talk
.
” He wouldn’t listen to me and he just stayed with me until I was finished and the contents of my stomach were cleared out. He handed me a tissue and I blew my noise and cleaned myself.
