Chapter twenty four
Now you know what I know
Today was the day, Regal knew it as soon as he woke up, this was the day he had been planning for. His sons were growing well, he had fallen asleep in his lab last night watching them, they were young children at this point, the computers were linked up to the tubes, feeding information directly into their brain, they would be born, knowing everything they needed to survive outside. Smiling he stood up and headed for his own suite of rooms, only the best for god after all.
Opening his eyes, Seth wondered where he was, for a moment he did not recognise the room, then he registered the warm body next to his. Lesya, his Lesya, Seth was quite ready to lay claim to the woman in his arms; he'd fight for her if he had to. Looking down into her face, he saw her warm brown eyes on his, her lips just begged to be kissed, and he moved in, not thinking about morning breath, just wanting to reaffirm their connection; to know that she did not regret last night. Her mouth was soft and pliant under his, and she kissed him back, as eagerly as he kissed her. Last night had been something else, it had reawakened something in him, which he thought was long gone, he felt more human this morning, as if she had reclaimed him from the darkness, which had invaded his soul, with the loss of everyone that he had cared about, save for Dean and Roman.
Last night, he had nibbled, kissed and caressed her, wanting her aroused but relaxed, he wanted her to trust him to take care of her, to know he could make her feel good, in spite of the fact, that he was going to unavoidably cause her some pain. When the time had come, he had broken through her hymen quickly, to make it easier on her. Then, he had made love to her, slowly and thoroughly. The last time he had fallen asleep with a woman it was Second, and she had run away from him, forcing them to chase after her, and eventually end up here. Lesya though, lay here in his arms looking up trustingly, they had not spoken about feelings last night, Seth didn't even know if she did feel anything for him, but he knew that he had feelings for her.
Her hair was darker than Krista's brown it was almost black but not quite, brownish black he supposed it could be called. Her eyes were a chocolaty brown, warm and gentle, the kind of eyes he could lose himself in. She was beautiful; there was no other word to describe her fine features, or her perfectly proportioned face. Dipping his head, he kissed her gently; her lips moved with his and against them as she kissed him back.
"Am I dreaming?" He asked her his voice soft almost awe filled.
"Maybe we both are." She replied with a tender smile on her face. "Though I don't think I could imagine, anything as good as what happened last night."
Seth smiled at her. "Want to make use of the bathroom?" He asked, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "I'll show you how much fun showers can be."
She did not answer, but watched as he stood up, and then took the hand he offered her, letting him help her from the bed. He loved that she was totally unselfconscious, as they walked to the bathroom together. The room was totally utilitarian, and the cleaning products she had, were pretty much the same as the men had been provided with. Still he had her screaming his name, while they were in the shower together, and he fleetingly hoped the walls were sound proofed. He did not want to share one single moment of the experience with anyone else, not even his brothers, or her sisters.
Lesya stood on shaking legs, after they were done with their shower, the feeling of Seth inside her, making love to her was one that she could not describe, but it was one she wanted to keep on feeling. The way he stretched her walls, the feeling of him sliding slowly in and out of her, his movements becoming faster, the closer he got to his own release. The weight of his body on hers, the way he kissed and touched her, every little thing that he did, or showed her how to do, they all added to the overall experience, of Seth making love to her.
After taking a shower, and changing into clean clothes, Regal took a leisurely breakfast, before going to check on the rockets, he ran his hands over them lovingly, well as much of them as he could touch, "Soon, soon you will fly." He whispered to them. "You will carry my final solution, to the four corners of the Earth." With one final caress, he left then and entered the control room, where he began the painstaking task of connecting to the targeting satellites, as they orbited high above him, slowly, painstakingly, he fed in the information which would ensure, no corner of the Earth, was left untouched by his virus. When he was done with his master plan, there would be no human life left out there. He was smiling as he finished, today was the day, he programmed the last piece of information in, and then checked his deadman's switch, nothing could be allowed to interfere with his plans. He was now worried that he had not seen his daughters yet today, they would be with him at the appropriate time though, to witness his cleansing of the Earth begin. Now though, he had his final revenge to take. Getting up, he headed to his lab, and pulled out the old radio, he could not resist hearing the horror and pain, in his old rivals voice, if he could not see his face, he would at least hear him.
Something was pinning her slightly to her bed, Galina opened her eyes, and could not help a small smile; Roman had his arms around her, his body resting slightly on hers. Her blue eyes, searched the face of the sleeping man, never had she imagined that her body could feel the sort of things he had made her feel. Apart from Father and his brothers, Roman was the first man she had ever seen, and she had felt something for him. She and her sisters had talked about the men, once they had got to know them as people. Krista had been drawn to Dean, Lesya to Seth and she to Roman, there was something about the man, who seemed to be the biggest of the three of them, which she could not resist. He opened his grey eyes, and looked at her, before freeing a hand, and reaching up to touch her cheek. His smile was almost unbelieving. "You're really here." For such a big man, his voice was so soft and gentle.
"Where else would I be but by your side?" She was curious what he though. "Here with you, is the only place I want to be, I want to be with you Roman?"
He smiled and kissed her gently. "What about your Father, and your sisters?"
Galina kissed him back and smiled too. "My sisters want your brothers like I want you, and Father, Father is just a man, without control over us, he has no real power, we will stop him." She sounded so earnest when she spoke, while making it all sound so easy.
Roman smiled he guessed it was all easy in her mind, however he knew it might not be the case, Regal had a lot of power in this place, maybe too much power, they might fail, but they could fight, he was more than prepared to fight, for a better future, one with Galina in it. He was a romantic, and when she had taken her veil off last night, he knew he had been falling in love with her for days.
"I'm in love with you Galina." He saw the confusion on her face, and realised she might not even know what love was. "I think about you all the time, I want to be with you, I hate it when we're apart, I don't want to share your time with anyone, when you're with me, I want to touch you hold you in my arms, you make my heart beat faster, when I kiss you all I can think about is being with you, my whole world becomes just you." He tried to explain his feelings as best he could. "I love you."
"This, what you say, this is love?" She reached up to touch his face, smiling as he leaned into her touch.
"That and so much more, I don't have the words to describe all the feelings and emotions, which are tied up in it." He was silenced by her kissing him, so he pulled her closer, and then under him, as he made love to her once more.
Gasping for breath slightly, Dean looked down into Krista's eyes, he had woken up to her examining his body, and that had turned into a sex lesson for her, as she learned to touch him, and he explored what she liked, in the way of touches and caresses. It had culminated, in him pulling her under him, and making love to her once more. The joy of a willing partner, did not diminish with the second time, and he felt as if he had somehow found himself again, worshiping her body with his own. Now they were both hot, sweaty, and short of breath, and very, very happy, they ended up tangled in the bedding as well and just lay there, trying to recover from what they had just done. He kissed the tip of her nose, after finally bringing his body back under control, and rolled off her onto his side, taking her with him so he could look into her face, the post coital bliss, still evident on it. He held her close to him, knowing he had found his happiness in her, and he hoped she had found hers in him. Finally though, he knew they had to move, and helped her from the bed, into the bathroom so they could wash and prepare for whatever was to come.
Hunter had enjoyed his night in a soft warm bed, not something he had expected, he had radioed his most trusted lieutenant, Shawn Michaels before he headed down the stairs, giving Shawn, a onetime code to enter into his doomsday machine, to grant his base another day of continued existence. Hunter had thought he might be out more than one day, and he had no intention of losing everything, just because he was tracking down the men, he wanted to bring into the fold. Normally his men would have looted this place, and taken all they could, however heading as they were into the wilderness, there was no point, and the house was not going anywhere. They made a good breakfast from the supplies in the house, it was perhaps a good thing, that they did not look into the surrounding area too much, or the chickens and the goats, might have suffered a grizzly fate, and the men might have feasted on meat for their breakfast. Once they were done, Hunter made them clear up, and leave everything in a reasonable condition, he locked the house up the best he could, and they set off, following Bo out into the wilderness again.
The sight of tyre tracks shocked the experienced tracker, and he quickly realised the three men Hunter was after, had taken the vehicles out, and into what had once been a national park. They were making good time as they walked, the tracks were easy for him to see, though Hunters men ranged around them, but thankfully they did not manage to mess up the tracks he was following.
Hunter was looking around, there was something familiar about this place, he was trying to remember why, maybe he had visited here with his family in better times? It was there nagging at the back of his mind, it would come to him eventually he knew. They had been walking for about two hours at a steady pace, when the radio at his waist squawked at him. Very few people knew he had it, certainly not many who were not currently with him, and he wondered if Shawn was in some sort of trouble, or if there was some sort of crisis.
"Hunter." He snapped bringing the radio to his lips, and halting his steps, watching the others walking ahead of him. Now that he had stopped, he wondered what was causing the dome shaped heat haze on the horizon, then suddenly the memory came flooding back, the facility he had worked on when he had first begun to make something of himself, and suddenly he also knew where Regal was hiding away, the 'Apocalypse Dome'.
"Hello Hunter, did you find the weapons." Regal's voice came from the radio, and Hunter smiled, if only his prey knew he was so close.
"I did, and they will serve me well, tell me William do you remember when we worked on the 'Apocalypse Dome' I have been thinking about it lately. It would not take too much work, with a few good strong men, to make it a good stronghold." Hunter liked to play with his victims, and that was what he thought of Regal as. "I'm not too far away from it now, chasing after the men I told you about, I may swing by and investigate it."
It was almost too good to be true Regal thought, oh truly he was god, he had brought the devil close to him, by taking the men Hunter desired; he would get to hear the devil die, and know that he would be mere inches away from salvation. "Indeed, it would indeed make a good base." He managed to keep the glee from his voice. "I had not thought of it in a long time." He was not above playing with his prey either.
"I know you're in the dome." Hunter did not have patience to play the game with Regal after all, not when he was so close to gaining everything he wanted. "Tell me how would you like the materials to create more of your cure William I could give you everything you need if you agree to work for me?"
Regal began to laugh. "You will never have the cure Hunter; it is mine, the ultimate cure for all the ills of mankind."
Hunter was furious, but he kept the other man talking for a moment. "You've made a magic bullet?"
"If you like to call it that, certainly after I release it, there will be no more illness to plague the human race, because there will be no more human race." Regal continued with his mirth, laughing manically into the radio.
"What, no, you can't, I won't let you, I'll stop you William." Hunter was beside himself with fury, he had to stop the other man, he was going to ruin everything, once he got inside the dome, where he was sure Regal was hiding, he was going to force the man to find a cure for him ,and then once he had, he was going to kill him slowly, and painfully. "I'm coming for you Regal." He growled into the radio, the only response he received though was the crazed laughter, of the man who believed himself to be a god.
"Forget Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins, he snapped to his men, drop your gear here apart from some rations, we're making the best time we can, to the dome you see out there." He began to shed his gear, keeping only his weapons, ammunition, water and a few ration bars, then before waiting to see if his men had complied ,he set off at a steady run, he had a doctor to find and stop, before he destroyed everything Hunter was looking to create.
In the dome Regal sat in his lab, he was good to himself, with any luck, he would be able to look out through the dome, and watch Hunter die, knowing he was so close, and yet so far from salvation, from paradise. Yes it was fitting that Hunter would look into Eden, even as he died, destroyed by the hand of god.
So everything is coming together, Hunter knows where Regal what he is planning but still thinks he can use him and stop him from carrying out his plan. Regal's Eve's have fallen in love with the men he has dubbed demons. Not much more of the story left so you know there is soon going to be drama. If you would leave me a review it would be appreciated.
