Chapter 25 Horrible crime

Storm found that her domestic duties were easy enough to complete, if anything she was upset that Hunter didn't trust her with something a bit harder. Afterall, the outfits that she put together didn't use a whole lot of material to start with. After she had sewn the last strip, she decided that it was time to get coffee and a snack, she had passed a whole table filled with food on her way to the womens locker room, none of it looked all that pleasing, especially since there was no sandworms or ba-con. Still after all the stitching, she was hungry enough to try their Hu-man food. Storm filled her cup with hot coffee, wishing that she had some sugar-cane, she missed sugar-cane, it made anything taste good. Her white eyes passed over the food trying to find something that would fill her until she got to go hunting. There were round soft dough covered in a crunchy sweet substance. Everything she looked over had an odd smell to it, her long fingers passed over everything, not knowing that she was upsetting yet another Hu-man custom. Storm figured that if she couldn't decide what to have from sight alone, her fingers could tell her. Her fingers swept over hot food, sticky food, cold food, and food that had no texture, at least none that made her make up her mind.

"Hi Storm"

She looked up at Aj, the smile coming from nowhere, she made a mental note to ask Hunter and Stephanie about the odd feeling that was suddenly coming over her, her belly felt like it was doing a million miles an hour, her hands longing to reach out and touch every inch of his smooth yet hairy skin. She wanted to wrap herself up in his limbs and never let go.

"Hi Aj"

He gave her that devious look, remembering the last time she got her hands on him, "Please don't rip this shirt Storm, I need it"

"Well if you walked around with no shirt on, I wouldn't have to rip it now would I?"

"You first" He teased not expecting her to shrug, those beautiful ivory hands reaching for the hem of her black shirt, more than ready to remove it, especially if it meant he would take his off too.

"I was kidding Storm" He made sure that she understood that, he didn't really need her parading around topless, because he knew somehow Hunter would make it his fault.

"You're a very confusing man" Storm frowned, still not quite understanding the odd feeling that was coming over her, little by little she was starting to like it, for now she would keep it to herself, when she figured out what it was called, she would let Aj know. Storm's eyes drifted past him for a moment, the guy from last night quickly scurrying past her, hoping that he wouldn't be stopped.

"Bastard! You have my prize!" Storm shouted after him, he still didn't stop, he just ignored her which of course annoyed Storm even more, even Dezolis had the concept of rudeness and manners.

"What prize?" Aj asked, a part of him just knew that he would wind up asking more questions, not that he minded, he liked being there with her. She was...Well he couldn't exactly pinpoint it, but he liked it.

"Me and Rae went to an inn last night and I won his game and he won't give me my prize damnit, I won fair and square"

"What game were you playing?"

Storm shrugged, she had no idea what they called it which didn't help anything. "I don't know what it's called but I won fair and square"

Aj laughed "How do you know that if you've never played it?"

He was teasing her again, but Storm didn't click onto that because he actually had a very valid point, "Oh no's! What if I did cheat? No wonder he won't give me my prize"

"Describe the game and I'll tell you if you cheated" Aj suggested thinking that she might describe something innocent like pool or darts.

"Ok, he put a pill in my drink and I had to catch it with my teeth"

The colour drained from his face, it sounded so much like date-rape but he couldn't jump to that conclusion just yet, he needed far more information before he pounded this guys face in.

"He put a pill in your drink?"

Storm nodded "Yes, the one you call Aiden English, he put a pill in my drink and I caught it, then he just stormed away without giving me my damn prize"

His head was spinning so fast, he thought he was going to pass out, now that she had said it, all the rumors surrounding him suddenly became true. Aiden had done this before, but since it couldn't be proved, he kept his job. Not that Storm would be any help given that she didn't even know what was going on.

"Did I cheat?"

"No" Aj got out tightly, "Do you understand what exactly he tried to do to you Storm?"

She shook her head again, so far the biggest crime Aiden had commited was not giving her her prize which in her mind, she had still won fair and square.

"It wasn't a game Storm"

"It wasn't? Then why would he put a pill in my drink if it did nothing?"

"He wanted you to be unconsious so he could have sex with you without your permission"

It took a few moments to sink in, not that she had any clue what sex was, but still it sounded horrible and mean, she should have every right to say no and not just have some Hu-man take without her permission.

"That is horrible!"

"Yeah, thats why they call it a crime"

"Not only did he try and take what wasn't his, he still didn't give me my damn prize!" Every second that passed, she was starting to hate Aiden English with a passion, she was told that taking revenge on the Hu-mans wasn't allowed, but Storm would make an exception on this account, and if it was a big crime like Aj said it was, then surely Hunter would understand, even if he didn't, Aiden was still in a lot of trouble.

"A little advice Storm, the next time someone puts a pill in your drink, don't drink it"

"Well I know that now" Storm rolled her eyes as a voice shouted down the corrider.

"Hey!"

Storm ignored the yelling, no doubt they wanted Aj's attention anyway, she was plotting a little revenge, she wanted something subtle but deadly.

"Hey!"

"I think she's talking to you Storm" Aj said nicely, with Aiden floating around, he didn't want to leave her alone. Sasha Banks came striding up to her, an angry scowl on her face.

"Are you the sewer?"

"Yes" Storm answered pleasantly, Sasha threw her very tiny shirt at her angrily.

"You did that wrong! Do it again!"

Storm threw it back "Don't be throwing things at me Pinky"

Sasha poked her in the chest, "Look, it's real simple, you sew my gear and if it isn't done right, you do it until you get it right"

Storm slapped her hands away "Don't be pokin me in the chest, I don't like it"

Sasha poked her again, each jab hitting Storm in the soft flesh of her shoulder, she managed one more shot to her chest before a tattooed arm wrapped around her throat and pulled her away. The air stopped filling her lungs and Sasha was left to choke and writhe, that harsh voice filling her head.

"It's real simple, you touch Storm, you die" Raven's arm slipped tighter around her neck, long fingernails tearing at her inked skin, it did nothing to stop Raven from choking her. At the last moment Raven let her go, her lithe body sinking to the floor, puffing and panting hurriedly. Raven ignored her and looked to Storm, she knew that she shouldn't be so overprotective of Storm, but she couldn't help it. Storm meant as much to her as Rune did, she couldn't save him but she would do anything to save Storm.

"Are you all right Storm?" She looked to Aj more than ready to tear his head off too if needed.

"I'm fine, I can protect myself you know"

"I'm over protective, you knew that about me when you met me, and I have every right to be with Devitt runnin around, I've all ready lost four partners to him, that's four partners too many"

Storm looked at her confused "Don't you mean three?"

"What did I say?"

"Four"

Raven shrugged it off, mentally telling Storm not to push "My mistake"

"We need to talk in private" Storm said before looking to Aj "And I hope to see you later"

Before he could agree, her tiny hands latched onto his ass giving a quick squeeze.

"Now that I like" She grinned at his stunned face as Raven took her wrist and dragged her away.

"You have to stop doin that, you know what Hunter said about the boundries"

Aj heard her groan loudly, "I hate the boundries!"

So did Aj.
