KOLD BLOODED KHRISTMAS
Skarlet slashed away at her former master, trying to rid Earthrealm of the evil that he was, but she was knocked back. The warlord then struck Sub-Zero down, and was about to kill him. Shao Kahn launched a spear at her love, and then she was moving, as fast as she can possibly go, shoving Kuai Liang out of the way and getting struck by the spear- Skarlet opened her eyes and let out a gasp as she woke up from the terrible dream. She then sat up, as her breathing was hard and heavy, the sweat still running down her forehead.
"Another nightmare?" Sub-Zero asked as he sat up beside her, rubbing his eyes. Skarlet nodded.
"Yeah…same one…" she as said as the last dregs of it faded.
The two warriors had frequently been having nightmares, the weeks since Shao Kahn fell. Earthrealm was still slowly rebuilding, and its citizens would never know the identities of the warrior's who fought for, and died to defend it.
The couple had been reliving the events as they slept, and sleepless nights plagued them, as going through such traumatic experiences had quite the after effect. Sub-Zero laid back down as he started to rub her back. Skarlet followed and snuggled up to him, resting her head on his chest, their naked bodies wrapped under the white sheets of the bed.
"They will pass." Sub-Zero said softly as he ran his fingers through his love's red hair.
Skarlet stared at the window. She listened to Kuai Liang's hearbeat and watched as snow fell hard outside. Skarlet liked the snow, because it had reminded her of him.
"I know…they're getting better. Not as frequent." she replied.
That was a good sign, considering that nightmares were just one issue among many for Skarlet, as she was adjusting to a new life in Earthrealm. She then yawned, as her eyelids became heavier. Watching snow fall and listening to her love's pulse was the perfect combination to help her relax. She closed her eyes and hoped that when slept, she would not dream.
Skarlet woke up to find that she was alone. She sat up and looked around, seeing no signs of Sub-Zero. Skarlet then rolled out of the bed, opened a drawer, and pulled on a cute pair of pink panties that he had bought for her. She then grabbed one of Sub-Zero's extra large shirts and slipped it on. It was like a blanket, as the shirt just hung off of her.
Skarlet walked out of the master bedroom and into the large, spacious and very clean looking home. Kuai Liang and Bi-Han had shared the place, while they both served under the Lin Kuei. It was very modern looking and organized, as if a secret agent had lived there.
She then headed towards the window that overlooked the drive way. Skarlet peeked through and saw Sub-Zero shovelling snow…shirtless.
"Crazy fool…" Skarlet said as she shook her head. Kuai Liang, being a Cryomancer, was probably the only person in existence that could shovel a driveway without a shirt and not be affected by the cold. Skarlet was glad that he at least still had his pants on. She then turned and made her way back into the master bedroom to start a shower.
Sub-Zero finished his work and headed back in. He kicked his boots off and headed up the stairs and into the master to see that Skarlet had finished showering. She wore a towel around her athletic body and her red hair dripped down over her shoulders.
"Good morning ice man…having fun out there in your element?" Skarlet greeted him as she slipped on a pair of socks.
"It was a little warm." Sub-Zero joked as he began to unbutton his jeans.
Skarlet then watched as he undressed and headed for the shower. She bit her lower lip and looked at Sub-Zero as if he were something delicious to eat.
Kuai Liang entered the shower. He smiled and shook his head, as he saw strands of red hair strewn all over. He had barely just begun to rinse, when he noticed that Skarlet had re-entered the shower and joined him. Sub-Zero turned around to face her. "I thought you finished already?" He asked.
"Not yet...but I will." Skarlet replied as she grabbed his head and started to kiss him passionately. She kissed gently at first, and then more aggressively as things started to heat up. Sub-Zero braced his love against the wall of the shower, and then proceeded to lift up one of Skarlet's legs, and slowly enter her. The couple simultaneously moaned in pleasure as ecstasy overwhelmed them, with water cascading down their bodies and adding to the experience. Sub-Zero gripped Skarlet's rear end tight, as he continued to thrust into her. He repeated the motion and started to increase the tempo, as Skarlet groaned in delight.
"Mmmm…damn…" She whispered as she dug her nails into his back and scratched down.
Sub-Zero exhaled in pain and pleasure, as his love expressed her passion. Skarlet wanted all of him, as she pulled his body close, while Sub-Zero began thrusting deeper into her.
The glass doors of the shower fogged up from the heat of their romantic affair, as the hot water also clashed with Tundra's cold body.
The two had very frequently and spontaneously had sex, since the day Skarlet moved to Earthrealm to be with Sub-Zero. Aside from the fact that the young couple had undying love for one another, it was a way of distressing and unwinding for them, as the horrific events that had unfolded prior, took its toll on the pair, physically and mentally.
The lovers finished their sexual encounter in the shower as Skarlet got dressed in the fancy clothes that Kuai Liang had purchased for her. To top it off, she wore a very stylish black winter coat that made her look very professional and business like. Her red hair seemed to bounce off of it, making the colour very noticeable.
Sub-Zero had decided to take Skarlet through a day out in the town. She normally did not have an appetite for what humans ate, but she absolutely loved Japanese food. Next, he took her shopping and also taught her the value of money, and how it can be exchanged for goods and services. Kuai Liang was well off, as being an assassin for the Lin Kuei had its advantages. For example, a client would pay huge sums of money for the clan's service.
A job for a well trained, cold blooded killer like Sub-Zero, could earn him a decent amount of money with one kill. Between him, Bi-Han and Smoke, the three of them earned quite a bit of money, being the best at what they do. With Bi-Han's passing, Sub-Zero inherited his brother's assets.
The two were walking along a strip mall, their arms linked, when in front of them, a young boy walking with his father had tripped and fell, scrapping his knee. Blood poured from the kid's wound causing Skarlet to stop and stare. It had been a while since she absorbed and tasted blood, making her extremely sensitive to it. Skarlet began to breathe heavy and deeply, her natural instinct to drain and consume it. Sub-Zero saw what was happening and immediately grabbed her.
"I can't do this…I don't want to hurt the boy." an anxious Skarlet said, as she began to panic.
Sub-Zero stayed calm. "We will leave." he said softly as he continued to hold her.
"Please…I need to get out of here." she shook her head quickly.
Sub-Zero turned and redirected Skarlet, as the boy's father tended to him. The couple reached Tundra's car, a black, sleek and very expensive vehicle. Sub-Zero opened the door for Skarlet as she climbed down on to the passenger seat. Tears began to well up in her eyes, the frustration overwhelming her.
"I cannot do this. This is NOT who I am. I can't blend in with your realm without hurting someone." Skarlet sobbed.
Sub-Zero tried to comfort her. "Yes you can, I have faith in you. You are very strong. This new life will take lots of adjusting to."
Skarlet shook her head. "I do not belong here. I was created to end lives…"
"And I was trained to…" Sub-Zero replied softly.
She turned to look at him, as tears climbed down her cheek. He rubbed one away with his thumb, and caught another, freezing the tear on her face. Skarlet smiled.
"We will get through this together…I promise to do whatever it takes to make your life here as comfortable as possible. You belong here…you belong with me." Sub-Zero swore.
Skarlet nodded as she touched his face and kissed him. "Let's go home." She requested, as Kuai Liang smiled and gave a nod. He turned the car on and drove away.
