Mr. and Mrs. Kidnapper
She woke up. The sun still hadn't risen, so she decided to stay in the beed for at least thirty more minutes. It was... nothing. It really was nothing. Sure, it was warm under the sheets, but it could have been also freezing, she still would've decided to lie down for a bit more. It was like that, for them. They could feel physical stimulus, but that was all. What really mattered was the meaning they gave to those stimulus. Ferdinand liked to feel cold. They didn't know why. They never asked him, and he never told them. For the same reason, they didn't know why Oberon had that hobby. Their mistress, however, was different. Probably because she had been built to be as close as possible to humans. That's why her reactions and theirs were so differents, and they tended to act like machines while she didn't. It had always been like that. It was what distinguished Nasod's royals from the others. When Ophelia decided to get up, the sun was still rising. She found out both Oberon and Ferdinand were already awake. Since when, she didn't know, and didn't even wanted to know. It didn't matter. They stood like that for... probably twenty minutes. Looking at each other, silence filling the room. It was routine. It happened almost every morning. Each one of them knew why he did it, but ignored what drove the other two to do the same. Probably Eve didn't know about it. It was nothing that could harm her in any way, so they had no reason to tell her. Suddenly, Ferdinand stood up.
"I'll go wake up the mistress"
The other two nodded. He walked out of the room, a trail of silence behind him. After a few moments, Ophelia spoke.
"I had a dream"
He looked at her, amazed. It wasn't rare at all for them to dream. It was really rare to remember what they had dreamed. Their mechanical brains, though able to produce dreams, registered them as unnecessary informations, and deleted them. Since it happened during their sleep, there was nothing they could do about it. Humans would probably define it as something "sad". Not for them. To them, it just "was". Still, sometimes they could remember what they dreamed. They didn't know why, and didn't care. But they liked it. For some reason, it made them feel... alive.
"What did you dream?"
"You. But you didn't have that" she said, pointing at the chain which connected his neck to his wrist. He fell silent for a moment.
"You know what this represents"
"Yes"
It was the symbol of his status. He wasn't free. He was a slave. A well-treated one, sure, but a slave. It was different for Ophelia and Ferdinand. Unlike him, they were born centuries after the downfall of the Nasod Kingdom. Back in those times, it was normal for every non-royal, non-noble nasod to wear a chain. Oberon simply never took it off, even after being awakened by Eve. He simply went from one mistress to another. It was... natural.
"... we should make breakfast"
"You're right"
Ara, it's morning. You should wake up.
"Yes, yes..."
She sleepily stood up. She was wearing a black nightgown, and her hair was one of the greatest mess humanity had ever seen. She somehow dragged herself to the bathroom, reached the tap, turned it on and washed her face. The water was freezing cold, which helped her to really wake up. She washed her teeth before going back to the bedroom. Her clothes had been left on the chair the night before, and were still there. She took off her nightgown, leaving herself completely naked, and put it away in the wardrobe. She then put on her underwear, pantihose, skirt, dress and coat. She then combed her hair. The last thing took her about fifteen minutes. When she had finished, she went back to the bathroom and washed her face again. This time she really woke up. Someone then knocked at the door. Probably it was Oberon calling her for breakfast. She went to open, and found... Ophelia. She stood there, surprised, then realized it wasn't strange at all for Ophelia or Ferdinand to call for breakfast instead of Oberon.
"Ehr... good morning"
Ophelia simply bowed a bit, before walking back downstairs. She followed her. Eve was already in the kitchen, while Rena was probably still somewhere between sleeping and getting dressed. After about five minutes, she reached them, and right then someone knocked at the house's door. Ferdinand went to see who it was. Aisha. She walked in, greeting the others, and happily noticed she was in time for breakfast. She seemed a bit more cheerful than she usually was.
"Did something happen?" asked Ara.
"I'll probably move to Velder next week"
They stopped for a moment.
"... and why?" asked Rena.
"Noah asked me to start working with her on a permanent basis, and I accepted. It seems interesting"
"That's... nice"
"Also, she may help me find a way to keep that annoying, spherical bat away from me"
"It's still going after you?"
"Sadly, yes. Last time I found it inside my pillow"
"What was his name again?"
"I don't know. I've never asked him"
That was it. Nothing else happened until evening. They all talked with Aisha about her decision, but nothing particular was said. Later, while Ferdinand and Oberon were making dinner, someone knocked at the door. Ferdinand went to check, and found, standing in front of the door, Add. His hair looked like he had tried to comb them a bit, but he probably gave up halfway through it. They stood there for a second. Eve did told them that she was waiting for Add, but for him to use the door instead of one of the windows, and to actually knock and not blow it up completely even if it was open, well that was strange.
Ferdinand left the door open, and walked away, leaving him there, waiting. He went upstairs, to Eve's room, and entered. Ophelia was combing her hair, which was loose, unlike always. Also, he was wearing a black, short dress, with an incredibly short skirt. Her legs were covered by black boots, long enough to leave only a small part of her thighs uncovered. Her arms where completely covered by black gloves, wich connected to each other behind her back, which was completely covered. Her neck was covered, as well as her shoulders. Her fingers, instead, were bare. All of her clothes had a few red decorations over them, and were incredibly tight.
"Did he arrive?" she asked.
Ferdinand nodded. Ophelia finished with her master's hair and gave the last touch-up to her clothes, then Eve walked out of her room. She met Rena in the hallway.
"Are you going... somewhere? What's with that outfit?" she asked.
"I'll be back late tonight. Don't wait for me awake. Is something wrong with my clothes?"
"Nothing, they're just..."
A bit provocatice, but she refrained from saying it.
"And where are you going? With Add... last time you two "went out" was when he tried to kidnap you"
"I need him. As a test subject"
"What?"
She didn't answer. Instead, she reached Add at the door. He was wearing his usual black and dark purple clothes. Happiness was all over his face. They walked away, standing almost a meter away from each other, his dinamo and her drones floating behind them. It was... a weird sight. Really. But that was it. Nothing else happened for the rest of the evening. But something did actually happened during the night.
Oberon was sitting on the floor, his back leaning against his bed, when someone woke him up. He looked up to see who it was. Ara. Well, it wasn't really Ara.
"I see you still don't like beds"
"Eun? What do you want this late at night?" he asked, bending his neck to the left.
She didn't answer, but motioned him to follow her. He did it. They went to the kitchen. Eun sat on a chair, and asked Oberon to do the same. He did, and looked at her. She was wearing a black, long nightgown. It was completely transparent, except for the area which covered her breasts. Her black, lace panties were visible. Oberon wondered if she had some non-erotic dress in her wardrobe. Then again, Ara probably wasn't even aware those clothes were erotic. Maybe it was Eun's influence. She was a gumiho, after all. However, what was more striking were extremely long, silvery, almost shining hair, and her red, no, scarlet eyes, so deep one could get lost staring at them.
"What are you doing with Ara?"
"I don't get the point of your question"
"Is it some sort of... joke or something? Because of what happened between us?"
"... I thought you had forgotten about those times"
"I'm as human as you are. I don't forget things easily, even after more than three thousand years"
"... it has nothing to do with that. Her being your current vessel is just a coincidence"
"Take off your helmet. And say that again, looking me in the eyes"
He stood still for... a minute? Maybe an hour. Then he removed his helmet. She knew well how he looked under it, though nobody else in that house had ever seen his face. He had black, spiky hair that reached down to his neck. His eyes were blue, the same color of a summer sky. But he was scarred. Four scars marked the right half of his face, going from the forehead to his neck. Those were the signs of Eun's claws.
"I..."
"You what?"
"... I miss those days. I miss you"
Eun stood up.
"I'm not the one responsible of what happened"
She waited for an answer. It didn't arrive.
"I've pretended I've never seen you before ever since we met at Hamel, and I don't plan to make the others aware of our story. Leave Ara out of this"
"Are you jealous?"
"That question is pointless"
She turned her back to him. "You know better than me how jealous I am" she said, and then she walked away. Oberon stood there, in the empty, dark kitchen. Alone.
The same night, quite far away, Add and Eve had just entered his home. It was a five-room house, hidden in the forest. How, she didn't know. It was quite big, and not seeing it by chance was quite hard. Then again, common logic didn't really apply to Add. They were both kinda beaten up, with some scratches and burns all over them. Nothing too serious, though. Add closed the door.
"So, is the new code working properly?"
"It still needs some days of work. What I'm worried about is the Throne, it's too... unstable as it is now"
"You'd been working on it for only a month, the results are pretty awesome in my opinion. Well, not awesome as you"
"Shut up"
They had spent the last hours "sparring". Which meant Eve shot everything she had at Add while he tried to avoid being killed.
"Do you have a shower in this house?"
"Yes. And there is also a bathrobe for you in the bathroom. I mean, one of yours"
She turned to him.
"... really? Wait, what?"
He grinned.
"Don't pretend you didn't know it already"
"Well, wathever"
"I'll make something for dinner in the meantime"
"Don't blow up your own kitchen"
She walked into the bathroom. It was a rather big room, mostly white, and also quite normal, considering where she was. The only weird thing, aside from one of her bathrobes really being there, were the towel heater fixed on the ceiling, which was rather low. The wipes, hanging from there, gave quite a weird feeling. She decided to just ignore it. Actually, she wasn't really comfortable with having a shower with Add around, but she really needed one. Or at least she felt that way. Still, nothing weird happened. Except Add probably blowing up something in the kitchen, judging from the explosion she heard. She put on her bathrobe. It was big, maybe a bit too much for her, like two sizes too big, black with a silvery pattern all over it. Why she used bathrobes that large for her, nobody knew. She took one of the towels and began to dry her hair, when the door opened. Add walked in. Soaked. Wearing a bathrobe.
"..."
"I need a towel. There aren't in the other bathroom"
"Why do you have two bathrooms?"
"I don't know. The house was already like this when I finished building it"
"That makes no sense. Your answer, I mean"
"Well, sense is overestimated"
He walked past her, took one of the towels and walked back out.
"... wait, wasn't he cooking?"
She finished drying herself, put her clothes back on and went to the kitchen. Add was already there, his hair still pretty wet. He had already set the table, but something... just didn't feel right.
"... toasts. You managed to get an explosion while making toasts. No, actually, what I wanted to say is: you call a dozen of toasts "dinner"?"
"Well, I did try to prepare a couple of pizzas, but the oven suddenly decided its time had come and blew up"
... sometimes I wonder if he really created the Dinamo by himself...
They sat down.
"You didn't put anything weird inside, right?"
"You doubt my cooking skills?"
"Who wouldn't?"
"Ah, I love it when you act like this"
"Shut up"
Dinner was over in roughly fifteen minutes. She stood up and looked out of the window. It was late, probably midnight had already passed.
"I'll head back now"
Add smiled. It was kinda creepy. She walked toward the exit, always facing him. She turned only to open the door. And right at that moment, something hit her hard on the back of her head. She heard a... plate? Probably it was the sound of a plate shattering. Then she passed out.
When she woke up, she was lying on a large, a bit fluffy and quite comfortable bed. The room wasn't exactly big, and there was only one window, on the ceiling, through which she could see the moon. The room was lit by a few candles. It was a bit hot inside there, she wasn't sure why. The back of her head was still hurting. She tried to get up, and only then she realized her hands had been tied behind her back. Her ankles, instead, had been bound to her thighs, in the likeness of a crouched frog. She somehow managed to stand up, if standing on her knees could be called stand up, and noticed she was wearing nothing but her black, frilly lingerie. She tried to move around, but the results were awkward. Then Add walked in, in his usual clothes, whistling. He closed the door behind him and sat down on the bed. She glared at him.
"What's the meaning of this?"
"It's... wait, what was the word? Ah, right. Payback. Remember last month, when you brought me inside a cave, drugged me and had your way with me for some hours? It took me two weeks to recover from that"
Well, that was true.
"What did you hit me with?"
"A teapot. Well, maybe I should have used something a bit less fragile"
A moment of silent followed. Then Add reached her and pushed her down on the bed.
"You won't get away with this"
"I'll think about that later"
He began to lick her neck, occasionally sucking on it, slowly moving to her mouth. He licked her lips, then she opened her mouth. His tongue entered her mouth. Then she bit him. He instinctively put some distance between their faces, then touched his bleeding tongue with his hand.
"You're really adorable"
"Untie me, and I'll show you just how much more "adorable" I can be"
"You don't need to show me"
He took something from... she didn't really know where. It was a leather gag, with a few metallic parts. It took him something like half a minute to put it on her. She tried to resist, but she couldn't really do nothing more than squirming helplessly. Once he was done, her mouth was stuck open. She tried to say something, but she couldn't even do that anymore. She saw him biting his own tongue, causing it to bleed more. Then he grabbed her head and pulled her close to her, bevore entering her mouth with his tongue. She could feel their saliva mixing togheter, along with his blood. What a psycho. He took his sweet time savoring her mouth, and when he finished she tried to spit out what she had in her mouth. I mean, what she had managed to not swallow. He turned her so that she was giving his her back, and moved his hands under her bra, over her small breasts. He began to slowly play with her nipples as he licked her ear, stimulating one of her weak spots, enjoying the sight of her bare, porcelain skin. He kept massaging her chest for a while, and when one of his hand moved to her navel she had already started panting softly. He moved his fingers over her stomach, giving her a tickly sensation, before sliding his hand under her panties. He giggled upon finding her already wet, and started to toy with her nether region. Had she had her mouth free, she would have bitter her own lips to prevent herself from moaning. But she couldn't, so she simply tried to endure it. But then he bit her neck with enough strenght to cause blood to start flooding. She screamed, taken by surprise, and right at that moment his fingers entered her, causing her to moan. He pulled them out rapidly, and went back to massaging her entrance, while his other hand went to play with her clit. She tried to move away, but to no avail. Add went to lick her other ear. She started to pant heavily. His fingers entered her once again, and began to move slowly. He kept playing with her for a while, then stopped. Taking her head in his hands and turning it to face him, he kissed her again. The taste of his blood was still inside of her. He placed an hand over her chest, and felt her heartbeat. It was fast. He took the gag off of her mouth.
"Do you want to continue?"
"Like hell you'll have me asking for it"
"Aahh, I love you" he said as he went back to her lower half. In a few minutes, he had her reach her climax. She moaned loudly as she arced her back, then began to pant heavily, in need for air.
"Are... you... satisfied?"
"Yes. Wait. No"
He pushed her down on her back, placed his face between his legs and moved her panties away with his hand. Then he began to lick her. She tried to keep herself from making any sound, but she couldn't help but moan when he began to touch her clit again, stroking it as he pleased. He moved over to her belly and began to lick her belly button, while one of his hand suddenly penetrated her other entrance with two fingers. She screamed.
He kept playing with both her entrances, while his head went up, to her chest. He moved her bra out of his way with his teeths, and began to lick her nipple, increasing her pleasure. She tried to get away, but even without Add pushing her down, she couldn't really move around tied up like that, and all the stimulations she was being given made it hard for her to even think straight. Then he gently bit her chest, between her breast, and went to her mouth. He kissed her again, and this time she didn't bit him. Maybe because she didn't like the perspective of having to drink his blood again. Whatever the reason, she let him toy with her tongue, and deep down she really enjoyed it. Truth is, she found Add a great kisser, but she would have never admitted it. He then went back to her nether region, and explored her inner parts with his tongue, now dirty with her saliva. It proved to be too much for her. Another wave of pleasure ran through her. She didn't moan, but instead a soundless scream left her lips. She gasped for air, but her mouth meet Add's one once more. She felt her own love juice run down her troath. He took half a steep away from her, and enjoyed the sight of her flushed face.
"Satisfied?"
She didn't answer, but just stared at him. Her gaze, however, wasn't a threatening one. It contained the plead she would have never let him hear.
"I guess that means you want me to continue"
"I guess... you decided that... all by... yourself..."
"You're such a cute liar, Eve"
He took off his pants, placed his member between her legs and slowly rubbed it against her entrance, causing her to moan.
"So?"
"I'm not sure... ah... what you want... me to say... mmm..."
"You're really great"
He moved to her other entrance and suddenly penetrated her.
"Ah! That's... the wrong... ah... hole! You... Moron!" she shouted between her own panting and moans.
"I really don't think so"
It was painful at first, not because she was not used to that but because it was too sudden. Still, the pain quickly turned into pleasure. She could feel him moving back and forth inside of her, her voice revealing how much pleasure it gave her. She soon had another orgasm, but Add kept going, ignoring her protests. Though she didn't really want him to stop yet. He kept pounding her, until she felt his seed entering her. He withdrew from her, and went back to licking her clit until she came again. Completely exhausted, she just stayed there, still unable to move.
"Enjoyed... yourself...?"
"Not as much as you enjoyed it"
He stood up and put his pants back on, then moved to the door. Before he could open it, however, he heard the sound of a glass shattering. He turned to see Moby and Remy, Eve's drones, besides her. They probably had managed to break out from where Add had put them. They cut Eve's restrains and then turned into a gatling. The Nasod Queen took it and aimed at Add.
"Do you mind letting me..."
"Like! Hell!"
That night, unusual sounds echoed in the forest. And they somehow sounded really, really painful.
The following day, Raven was walking in the middle of the forest when Add called out to him. He turned. The white-haired man was on a nearby tree.
"You're going back to the house, right?"
"Yes, why?"
He jumped off the tree and walked up to him. His clothes were in an orrible state, and he looked like he was on the receiving hand of both a fistfight and a gunfight.
"The hell happened to you?"
"Something great, my friend" he answered, a huge smile on his face.
"Yeah, greatly twisted I guess"
Wait. Friend? I tought I was "guy with an awesome arm" for him.
Add handed him a cd.
"Can you give this to Eve and tell her we should do it more often?"
His voice was extremely happy. So much that, hadn't it been for the state he was in, Raven would have been envious of whatever happened to him.
"Can't you give it to her by yourself?"
"I'd like to, but I have a few bullets and scraps to take out of my head before they damage my brain"
"Trust me, it can't get worse that it already is"
"Oh, I didn't you had sense of humor"
Raven took the cd.
"I guess I can do it. Unless... this is not a bomb like last time, right?"
"It's not, trust me"
"I trust what my arm will do to your face if it is"
"That's close to fine"
"I. Won't. Ask. You. Why"
"Well then, see you... when we meet again"
With that, Add went back on the tree and disappeared from there.
"... why can't he just walk on the ground?"
He looked at the cd. Over it was written "I recorded it for you. I thought you may want it for your collection"
"... "recorded"... what?"
He put it in his pocket and began to walk. It took him almost half an hour to reach the house from where he met Add. It was almost lunch time when he arrived. He walked to the kitchen, and found Rena cooking.
"Oh, you're back. How did the job go?"
"Quite smoothly. Where are the others?" he asked as he began to help her preparing lunch. He could cook much better than one would expect.
"Aisha and Ara are having a chess match upstairs. Oberon, Ophelia and Ferdinand are in their room, and Chung went to Altera a few days ago. As for Eve, she went out with Add yesterday and still hasn't come back. I'm a bit worried, honestly"
Raven thought about Add's conditions when he met him earlier.
"Nah, I'm sure she's fine"
"Yes, you're probably right. By the way, where are Elsword and Elesis?"
"They stopped at Elder, I think Elesis wanted to go shopping or something. They'll probably arrive this evening"
"Oh, that's nice"
It took them roughly fifteen minutes to get lunch ready. Raven began to walk upstairs, but Rena grabbed his hand and pulled him close. He put his left hand over his mouth just in time to intercept her lips. She took a step back.
"Still refusing me?"
"I'd like you to stop"
He left her there, disappointed (again), and went to call Ara and Aisha. By the look on their face, Ara had won the match. Again. When was the last time she lost at chess? Oh, right. She neved did it. The two girls walked downstairs, but Raven stood there for a few moments, then decided to go to Oberon, Ophelia and Ferdinand's room. He opened the door and looked inside. They were all there, all sitting on their own bed, staring at each other. They turned to Raven when he walked in. It was... a bit creepy.
"Uh... have you seen Eve?"
They shook their heads, almost synchronized.
"Wel... ok"
He closed the door and walked down. He was hungry, and lunch was ready.
Add was standing over a tree branch, looking at a small screen projected by his Dinamo, when something hit him on the back of his neck with enough strenght to make him fall down. And, just when he hit the ground, it collapsed, and he fell inside a quite large pit.
"What the?!"
He somehow managed not to land on his head. He stood up and took whatever had hit him out of his neck. It was a syringe. Empty. He knew what was gonna happen. Something hit him in the back, at least half a dozen of times, at the same moment. He turned, and saw Eve, what looked like a... syringe-gun?... in her hands. He noticed a bag full of... something, behind her legs, then his vision began to blur, his limbs lost strength and he fell on his knees. Eve smiled.
"As you'd say, Add, this is payback" she said, her drones turning into a whip.
"You're the best"
Just to tell you, next chapter(s) will probably contain a part about Ara and Oberon and another part about other couples (maybe a trio, I don't know).
See you next time.
