Chapter 10: Written in blood
Night Blood could not believe his ears when Jasmine told him that she wanted to help them out in the investigation of Yeyinde's murder and find his killer. He almost thought that she was going to faint when they reached the spot where his body was at and pulled it out of the water.
Night Blood was the one who volunteered to inspect the body and found that whoever did it tore Yeyinde to pieces. He knew that whoever did this to Yeyinde, took extreme pleasure in doing so. Aside from his head missing, his spinal column had been torn out. When Night Blood rolled the corpse over, he found that Yeyinde's rib cage had been cracked open and all of his internal organs were missing. There were multiple stab wounds and lacerations all over his body.
When he finally finished examining the body, he looked up at Jasmine, saw that she was very pale, and had her hand over her mouth. Just the thought of Jasmine's mouth made Night Blood very aware of how female Jasmine was. Even the memories of earlier today, when he had her body beneath his, made him inwardly groan. He was all to aware of the chemistry that was brewing between them and it would not be too long before the rest of the crew caught onto their mutual attraction for each other.
He had to admit, Jasmine was a lot stronger than any other human he had ever run across. Any other human would have spilled their guts after seeing the shape that Yeyinde's body was in. Being that she was a human female, made her appear even stronger. Night Blood could also tell that she was holding the bile down, which impressed him even more but he could not blame her if she did. She withstood more that he anticipated her to do.
Night Blood even heard a few comments about her, all of which were compliments. There was even a comment about her internal organs not being in the normal position, which made him chuckle and Jasmine just stared at him as though he had grown a second head.
"They're complimenting you, Princess," Night Blood stated as he stood up and walked over to her.
"Oh" Jasmine sighed as she continued to try to keep the vomit down.
"And so am I" Night Blood stated, his voice thickened with desire as he placed his hands on her slender shoulders and the pulled her closer to him.
He could sense the questions that his crew had as he slid his hands over her shoulders and then down her back. When his hands finally reached her very narrow waist, Night Blood pulled her slightly rounded hips closer to his own. A gentle sigh escaped her delicate pink lips as he bent his head down and nibbled on the slightly tanned column of her neck. He felt her hands slid up his arms and then wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I should not be doing this," Night Blood confessed as he eased away from her. It took every bit of willpower to pull himself away from her as he recalled the fact that she was already spoken for by an human male.
"Aye, I be knowin' that," Jasmine softly stated as she relinquished her hold on him.
Night Blood ordered four of his crewmembers to carry the body back to the ship. He watched as Jasmine removed her black cape and laid it over Yeyinde's body. He understood that she was covering up his body.
He could not believe how beautiful she looked in her delicate dress. He just wished that she would not wear so much clothing. He knew that he would not mind seeing her dressed as a Yautja female; with only a loin cloth and a cropped top on.
As Night Blood turned to leave, that is when he saw it on a tree. There, written in Yeyinde's blood, was an ancient script of his own language. Very few of his kind knew the ancient text language. It read "death comes on swift wings".
Well, what does everyone think so far? I know, I am leaving everyone on a cliffhanger. I will start on Chapter 11 as soon as possible. If you want to see anything in the next chapter please let me know. I will give a brief idea on what it is about. Yautjas become human and get to meet the family. I would also like some ideas on what I should name the rest of the crewmembers.
