Another chapter. I wrote this one rather quickly was I was for once completely certain about what I wanted to include in it. Be warned there is a brief sexual violence description which could trigger some people
So enjoy.
Summery of last chapter:
Evra was on cloud nine after nearly having sex. Truska dragged Tatsuya shopping where they bought embarrassingly vast quantities of sex toys and a small amount of Sushi. Evra went searching for Ginnezu and found him playing with Mr Crepsley. Tatsuya failed to hide the sex toys and Evra tested out the handcuffs on Tatsuya and a small strap-on for him.
Tatsuya was pressed up to a wall, Crepsley in front of her and Darren trailing behind.
The dark street was silent. Not surprising since it was almost 3am. Crepsley had come to her during the night and woken her, pulling her begrudgingly from Evras warm bed to go hunting. Tatsuya had first thought that he knew about her and Evra snooping around trying to spy on him. To their disappointment they had found his room locked and empty.
She wasn't looking forward to the night. Mainly because of the evil and insane vampaneze and partly because of the awkward silence between her and Darren. Evra had been about to bury himself between her legs the last time they had seen each other.
They were hunting for vampaneze. The horrible creatures they were set to battle in the upcoming fight for the safety of the nearby city. Recent news reports had made Crepsley suspect there was a rogue vampaneze killing citizens in the small town where the cirque was located.
Crepsley had discovered fresh graves in some wasteland on one of his previous hunts so he was certain the vampaneze worked on this area.
A nearby alley resonated with quick running footsteps, catching their attention.
"He's near." Crepsley whispered simply, ushering them to follow him. He flitted across the road towards the alley way. Tatsuya ran quietly behind him, Darren following her in perfect silence.
Crepsley peaked round the corner into the dark space of the alley way.
"We've got him." He walked forwards into the space. As they emerged through the other side of the long alley Crepsley spotted a large bloated man scurrying behind a building, a manic giggle echoed through the still street.
Crepsley turned to Tatsuya, "Stay here. We will catch him." Tatsuya was about to refuse when his eyes became hard. "Stay here." He insisted sharply before looking at Darren and turning out towards the street.
Darren and Crepsley rushed towards where the figure had disappeared in a flurry of red cape and pirate costume, leaving Tatsuya standing alone in the alley. She sighed a deep breath to calm herself and pushed her fidgeting hands into the pockets of her coat.
Her breath showed in clouds from the cold.
There was a noise behind her. The sound of scuffling feet. She spun round to face the noise, her heart leaping in her chest.
"Mr Crepsley? Darren? Is that you?" Tatsuya called out in a stage whisper stepping cautiously towards the noise. The shuffling noise continued so Tatsuya trotted over to the other end of the alleyway on tip toes.
She crouched down and poked her head around the corner, her eyes searching the street empty street. She breathed a sigh of relief as she stood up straight once more.
Her back came into contact with something, or more precisely someone.
She held her breath and slowly turned around. A figure loomed over her. His body was bloated and hideously swollen.
He wheezed in a deep breath through his nose before licking his lips. Tatsuyas body shuddered, her eyes transfixed on the man in front of her. She was frozen in terror like a deer caught in the headlights of a speeding car.
The vampaneze took a stride towards her, grabbing her throat with a bulbous bruised hand.
Tatsuya squeaked as he pushing her backwards into the grimy wall of the alleyway. He pressed his body close to hers, burying his face in the crook of her neck licking the flesh there. Tatsuya clenched her eyes shut as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.
His wet tongue lapped the tears off her face, laughing mockingly, his stinking breath making her gag and retch.
"You smell divine." The monster purred, his clawed hands roaming down her body, slitting the thread holding the buttons to her coat sending them clattering to the floor. "I've already fed tonight." He admitted, licking his lips, coating them in thick saliva. "But I'm sure I could squeeze you in."
His hands were thrust inside her coat, groping at her flesh.
"What are you doing out so late at night?" He purred in her ear. He suddenly grabbed her wrists in a painful vice and dropped to his knees in front of her. He buried his nose between her legs, sniffing deeply. Tatsuya sobbed and struggled to pull her hands out of his grip.
The vampaneze grinned up at her, "Maybe I'll feed from here." He decided, his eyes glazing over as he opened his mouth and let his sharp teeth graze along the seam of her jeans. Tatsuya kicked at him, striking him in the jaw with her knee.
He growled angrily, shaking his head before wrenching her hands painfully. He jolted his head forward and let his teeth tear at her jeans, shredding the fabric.
Tatsuyas mind begun exploding with memories making her head spin and her jaw ache. I've always wanted to fuck an Asian chic.
Her heart raced in her chest, filling her ears with the deafening thunder. She felt his hands break away from her wrist.
( )
"Run faster. I can't believe you left her alone, you stupid boy." Crepsley growled as they flitted back towards the alley where Tatsuya was. The vampaneze had led them on a wild goose chase, doubling back on himself and heading to Tatsuya.
They reached the alleyway; the stench of blood was stifling. Steam rose from a hot body, dark thick claret pooled onto the black floor.
Tatsuya stood with her back to them both, her head down. The vampaneze was on the floor, gurgling, blood pooling out his mouth. A long string of thick intestines were piled on top of his swollen stomach, his hands desperately tried to push them back into the large ragged hole. His actions slowed by blood loss making his fingers numb and clumsy.
"Please" He begged Tatsuya, reaching up to her, his organs still draped round his fingers.
"Tatsuya." Crepsley whispered in disbelief. Her head snapped towards him, the inhuman speed making Darren flinch. Her face was covered in flesh and gooey chunks of flesh.
She bared her teeth animalisticly, letting out a deep growl that vibrated the air. She turned her body and planted her feet. Her bloody hands twitched shaking off droplets of blood.
"Tatsuya are you hurt?" Darren asked, his brow knitted in concern. He took a step towards her, making her eyes snap to his movement. Mr Crepsley swiped an arm across Darrens chest, stopping him from walking any closer to her.
"Tatsuya." Crepsley said softly, his voice wavering slightly. "Tatsuya, you're ok."
"No I'm not." She answered back. Crepsleys eyes widened having not expected her to answer him.
"What-what do you mean?" Darren asked, stepping forwards, making Tatsuya step back.
"Take me home." She growled. Crepsley was about to open his mouth to speak when she shouted "Take me the fuck home."
She waited for an answer, Crepsley quickly nodding his head.
( )
Tatsuya stalked through the front door of the theatre. It was still before 6am and the corridors were empty. Darren and Crepsley ran after her.
"Stop Tatsuya." Crepsley hissed at her, grabbing her wrist. Tatsuya jolted in pain and ripped her hand away from him, giving him a dangerous look exaggerated by the blood and flesh covering her face. It had run in rivers down her neck and was staining her top.
She turned and carried on walking at a very fast pace. The two vampires followed wordlessly after her. They were torn between stopping her and questioning her on what happened and not wanting to provoke the volatile emotional state she was in.
She walked straight into the showers, moving to slam the door behind her. Crepsley barged in after her.
Tatsuya grabbed Crepsleys shirt and shoved him into the tiled wall behind her, the old ceramic cracked and showered the floor in dust.
"Get Evra." She growled inches from his face before throwing him out of the door and locking the shower blocks door.
Crepsley dusted himself off and sighed before turning to Darren who had a wide eyed, frightened look on his face.
"What have we done?" Darren asked, his voice restricted by emotion. Crepsley shook his head and rubbed his face tiredly.
"We should get Evra." He said simply, walking slowly towards the room Evra shared with Darren and Tatsuya.
( )
Evra was woken by sounds of knocking. His hand searched for Tatsuyas warm body but found nothing but emptiness.
He opened the door, blinking uncomfortably in the bright corridor. Darren was standing in front of Mr Crepsley, both were wearing worried expressions and looking more pale than usual.
His stomach lurched.
"Where is she?" He asked Darren.
"The showers." Darren answered quietly. Evra barged Darren out of the way and raced to the showers. The water was on but the door was locked. Evra jiggled the door handle desperately.
"Tatsuya, let me in." Evra called while knocking on the door. "Tatsuya it's me."
There was no noise from inside. No signs of life. Evra stepped away from the door, Lifting his leg and kicked it. The old wood shook in its frame.
Evra took another step back. He took in a deep breath and ran at it, striking the door with his shoulder. He stepped away again, shaking his body and ran at the door again. The wood creaked. Evra repeated it once more hearing a definite crack as the wood started to give.
"Stand away from the door, Tatsuya." Evra shouted, running at the door once more. It splintered around him as he struggled to keep his footing. He skidded to a stop on the wet tiles.
The room was filled with thick steam from the scalding hot showers. He began walking towards the noise of running water down the long narrow room.
"Tatsuya?" he called out again, trying to peer through the hot foggy room. His feet splashed wetly on the floor.
He looked down and noticed light swirls of blood mixed with the water. His eyes went wide and he jogged a few feet until he could see a small figure on the ground.
He recognised Tatsuya; she was sitting on the floor hugging her knees. Over the sounds of crashing water he could hear soft sobs.
"Tatsuya." Evra whispered softly, cautiously walking up to her and crouching down beside her. Dark blood was trapped under the beds of her nails. Red droplets ran off her short hair.
His hand reached out and touched her shoulder.
Her head snapped up to look at him in fear, making Evra reel backwards.
Recognition spread onto her swollen features. Her eyes rimmed in red from her tears. She gripped him in a tight embrace, her small naked body shaking with sobs.
Evra pulled her onto his lap, squeezing her.
"It's ok." He whispered into her wet hair. "I'm here now."
Once her tears slowed she sat up slightly to peer at him through her hair. He smiled gently at her, pulling her even tighter to his body.
"Can you tell me what happened?" He asked softly. She shook her head, burying it onto the crook of his neck.
"Did someone hurt you?" He asked, his wet fingertips chasing water droplets down her back as he tried to sooth her.
She hesitated before croaking out the words "Kind of." Evra waited for her breathing to calm before carrying on with his soft questions.
"Where?" He asked, he watched her blush. His stomach clenched and he tried not to tense at the insinuation that she was injured sexually by someone.
"Who?" He asked, his voice a little more tight with emotion, harsher.
"A bad guy, a vampaneze." She answered, sniffing as tears fell from her eyes once more.
"It wasn't Darren? Or Mr Crepsley?" Tatsuya answered with a no. Evra let himself relax a little, concentrating on consoling her. He waited for a few more moments to pass.
"Why is there blood?" He felt her swallow before answering; she pulled away from him to gaze into his eyes.
"It's his, I killed him." She whispered, her eyes darted to her hands clearly imagining the acts they had committed. Evra pulled her to him once more.
"That's ok. He was a bad guy. He deserved it." He told her truthfully. Tatsuya nodded and cuddled further into Evras arms.
"He tried to hurt me." She said letting out a sob. "Tried to bite me."
"Where?" Evra asked, stretching out one of her arms to check for bite marks. He watched in horror as her finger pointed downwards, confirming some of Evras fears. "Show me." He whispered.
Tatsuya shook her head. "You have to show me, if it's a bad bite we need to heal it." Evra said regretting his words. He didn't want to see her injured, but she might need urgent attention. Tatsuya looked up at him again, shaking her head.
"It isn't bad." She promised. "I stopped him." Evra nodded his head at this.
"I believe you," he said, kissing her lips softly before letting her lean into his arms again.
He rocked her softly. He was still very worried, his mind had a million questions he wanted to ask but they could wait. For now his girlfriend was safe. Terrified but unharmed, for the most part.
( )
After sitting in the shower with Tatsuya for over an hour she looked up at him.
"Your clothes are wet." She said, plucking his shirt where it was stuck to his skin. Evra chuckled and nodded.
"That tends to happen when you sit fully clothed in the shower." Evra answered back cheekily making her smile. "Should we get back to bed?"
Tatsuya nodded but Evra could see her hesitation to stand.
"I'll turn around." Evra promised seeing the embarrassment in her features.
"I don't want to wear my clothes." She said. Evra nodded and slipped off his soaking wet vest and handed it to Tatsuya. She struggled to get into the wet fabric like it was a wet suit since the water had made it very heavy and noncompliant.
Once clothed Evra stood up, he offered his hand to help her. She took his outstretched palm, using her free hand to hold the fabric carefully clamped down over her crotch.
The pair of them walked out of the shower, Evra ignoring the pile of clothes she had clearly torn off to get into the shower. They padded to their room which was unsurprisingly empty except for Ginnezu.
The big dog looked up expectantly as their entrance. Tatsuya sat carefully on the bed.
"Can you get me some pyjamas?" She asked Evra. He nodded and got her a pair of flannel pyjama bottoms and a clean dry vest for her to wear. He pointedly turned around as she slipped them on. Evra then undressed before slipping on a pair of dry underwear.
Tatsuya yawned and shifted over in the bed, signalling for him to get in with her. Evra almost let out a sigh; he was desperate to interrogate Darren. But it could wait.
He slipped into the bunk with her, carefully pulling the covers over them both. Tatsuya turned round to face the wall, Evra wrapping his strong, warm arms around her. He carefully let one hand cup her cheek so he could check for tears as she slept.
Ginnezu jumped onto the bunk, painfully walking across Evras body to settle in the nook of Tatsuyas body. Tatsuya buried her hands in the dogs silver fur and sighed in relief.
"I love you." Tatsuya whispered looking over her shoulder at Evra. He smiled sleeping, snuggling closer to her body.
"I love you too." He whispered back.
( )
The noise of the cirque woke them both. It was the day of the move so activity was all around them.
Tatsuya looked better this morning, less traumatised.
"Would you like some breakfast?" Evra asked, slipping out of bed. Tatsuya nodded and stretched. Evra let his eyes trail from her face to her nipples which hardened under her vest.
"Get bacon, lots of bacon." She simply instructed before wrapping herself in a cocoon of bed covers. "And tea." She called as he hopped around putting jeans on.
"Bacon and tea it is." Evra announced, bending down to kiss the little face peeping out of her bed. "You look like a worm." He whispered making her playfully glare.
"You look like a worm." She shot back, a grin on her face. Evra feigned insult.
"How dare you." He gasped before flouncing out the door to the sound of Tatsuyas giggles.
Evra jogged down the stairs towards the kitchen when a familiar worried face came before him, looking up expectantly. Evra grabbed Darrens hand, pulling him into a disused changing room. His strong green forearm then pinned him by the neck against the wall.
"Tell me what happened Darren." Evra growled in a dangerous voice, his eyes flashing in anger. Darren tried to pry Evras arm off his throat without hurting him. Evra simply applied more pressure making Darren panic and dig his sharp, dagger-like nails into Evras flesh.
Evras face betrayed no pain, blood dripped onto Darrens t-shirt.
"Please. Evra." Darren gasped. One thing Evra had always possessed but never really had to use was his strength. As a snake boy he was more related to constrictors than venomous snakes, meaning his muscular strength was impressively strong and also impressively secret. It had even caught Darren by surprise.
"What happened Darren." Evra barked, whipping his arm off Darrens throat. Darren gasped for breath, clutching at his windpipe.
"We went hunting for a vampaneze. It's been killing people in the town here." Darren begun, leaning on the wall, watching Evra warily. "We tracked it down to this alleyway. Crepsley and I followed it, leaving Tatsuya in the alleyw-"
Darrens words failed him as Evra threw a hard punch into the side of his jaw, momentarily knocking the half vampire off his feet. Darren scrabbled up quickly. Evra advanced with his fist raised in warning.
"You left her." Evra growled.
"It wasn't my idea." Darren yelped, throwing up his hands in surrender. "We chased the vamp for a couple of miles before realising he had turned back towards the alleyway." Evra threw another punch, striking Darrens nose. Darrens head shot backwards, blood spurting out of his nose. He crashed into the wall behind him, staying on his feet.
"Stop fucking hitting me." Darren hissed Evra lowered his fists once more."When we got back to the alleyway the vampaneze was dead, well nearly dead, he had his guts in his hands. He was begging her to kill him. She was covered in blood. His blood. She had ripped him open with her teeth and hands." Darren described the scene with a look of fear on his face. Evra gritted his teeth. "She hadn't even changed. She'd just torn him open."
"Did you know he bit her?" Evra hissed, lunging at Darren, making him jerk away, almost falling over some benches stacked in the room.
"He bit her?" Darren asked his eyes wide. "We have to get Crepsley to heal her." Darren said trying to rush out of the door.
"Don't get Crepsley. She's fine. I took care of her where you hadn't." Evra hissed viscously before stalking out the room and leaving Darren on his own.
Evra grabbed platefuls of bacon and mugs of tea before slipping into one of the bathrooms to find a first aid kit and wrapping his injured arm in white bandages.
He opened the room of their door, emerging backwards to accommodate his large haul of food. Tatsuya jumped at his entrance, yanking knickers up her legs. But she wasn't quick enough. Evras face dropped as he spotted red marks on her skin.
He dumped the food onto the table and turned to her.
"Tatsuya, I need to see." He carefully instructed. Tatsuya started to shake her head before sighing and nodding. She walked over to the bed, sat down and pulled her underwear off down to her knees. Evra knelt in front of her knees. He could see a series of red grazes running down her pubis.
"Lean back." He instructed looking in her eyes, telling her how sorry he was to be doing this. Tatsuya bit her lip before complying. Evra widened her thighs and used gentle fingers to spread her labia. Luckily there were only scratches and grazes, concentrated on her pubis, from the crazed vampanezes teeth. It could have been much worse.
Evra kissed her knee before taking her hand and helping her sit up. She blushed.
"I told you it was nothing." She whispered. Evra pulled her into an embrace to apologise. "Evra, what happened?" She suddenly gasped, pointing to his forearm. Evra grimaced slightly.
"Nothing." Evra said dismissively, getting up to hand Tatsuya her mug of tea.
"Nothing?" she asked her raised eyebrow made him think maybe he should tell her.
He sighed deeply and handed Tatsuya her tea before admitting, "I told Darren off. That's all."
"Darren, did he hurt you?" She asked her eyes wide. Evra shrugged.
"Not really, I kind of strangled him. So he tried to pull my arm off his throat. That's all." He let a small smile cross his face, "I punched him too. Twice." Tatsuya couldn't help a small smile creep into her lips.
"You punched him?" Tatsuya asked Evra recognised disbelief in her voice.
"Yes I hit him. I resent your surprise!" Evra grumbled with a faux pout. "One thing about being a snake boy is that my explosive strength is pretty impressive." Evra finished with a smug look. Tatsuya grinned and shuffled closer to him.
"Explosive strength?" Tatsuya whispered into his ear, a mischievous look in her half closed eyes making extra sure Evra didn't miss the innuendo.
"I'll have to show you sometime." Evra purred back. Tatsuyas chewed her lip while her eyes darted around the room. Evras eyes narrowed at her suspicious actions. "Excuse me, what are you planning?"
Tatsuyas lips formed a grin, tempting Evra to match her but he kept his eyes narrow and his lips only showed a hint of a smile.
"Planning?" She asked in faux outrage. "I'm simply trying to work out how we can test that, ahem, explosive strength of yours." Evra rolled his eyes at her new game. She paced around the room, tapping her chin with her long finger.
She stopped at the old table near Darrens empty bunk and her eyes lit up. She leant forward, curving her back seductively, and placed her palms onto the wooden surface. She tested the sturdiness of the table before turning back with Evra, looking at him suggestively.
"Arm wrestling?" She asked eventually, making Evra laugh.
"Arm wrestling sounds perfect." He confirmed once he had stopped laughing at Tatsuyas ridiculous attempts to cheer him up after fighting with Darren. He stood up and pulled Tatsuya into a kiss. "I warn you though," He gazed into her eyes, his arms still wrapped around her waist, "I'm stronger than I look."
"Course you are." Tatsuya patted Evras shoulder condescendingly. Evras face fell into a theatrical pout as Tatsuya lead him to the table and knelt down, resting her elbow on the wood and looking at Evra expectedly.
Evra knelt down across the table and gripped her hand.
"Try not to break the table." Evra warned half jokingly.
"Well of course, we wouldn't be able to determine the winner if we did that." Tatsuya confirmed, gripping his hand harder and pushing against him without any warning, trying to drive his hand towards the table.
Evras arm muscles jolted to push his arm back upright. Tatsuyas eyes widened slightly in surprise before her grin turned into a serious game-face.
Evra watched her slim arm move as she flexed her muscle. Evras own muscles tensed and he let out a puff of air as he struggled against her.
"Explosive strength." Tatsuya called out in a war-cry, pushing Evras hand firmly to the table. Still holding Evras hand she jumped onto her feet, pulling him with her before holding their hands above her heads in a celebration.
"Yeah, yeah." Evra grumbled, a smile on his lips. "You win."
Tatsuya pulled Evra into an embrace, leaning back to look him in the face. "In all fairness you're stronger than I thought. Where have you been hiding that, muscle man?"
"Muscle man?" Evra enquired with a smile. "You can thank the constrictor snake and its natural ability to choke its prey." Tatsuya kissed his smug face.
"Oh genetics." She lamented. She walked Evra to the bed, snuggling on his lap. "Tell me again how you beat the crap out of Darren." She requested like a child requesting a soothing fairy tale story.
Evra couldn't resist and held her against his chest while he told the story to her, doing imitation voices which made her giggle manically and hide her face in his chest to try and silence them.
Towards the end of his tale she had grown still and quiet, her breathing deeper and her body warm in Evras arms. Evra stroked her cheek making her breath deeply and stretch out of her nap. Evra smiled down at her warmly, she blinked sleepily.
"Why don't we have nicknames?" She asked innocently, rubbing her eyes with the palms of her hands.
"I don't know. We should have some don't you think?" Evra asked to which Tatsuya answered with a thoughtful nod. "I technically have one from the cirque, Snake Boy."
Tatsuya wrinkled her nose, "I'm not going to call you that."
Evra frowned slightly, "Why? What's wrong with it?"
"Nothing. But it has rude connotations since we are together."
"No it doesn't." Evra protested. Tatsuya readjusted her seat so she could purr in his ear.
"My own handsome Snake Boy." She whispered, letting her lips graze the outer rim of his ear, letting a single finger glide down his chest. Evra smiled.
"Ok, so it sounds a little sexual. But if you react like that every time you call me it it's a small price to pay."
"Steady on, Muscle Man." Tatsuya said with a grin as she watched Evras face light up.
"Muscle Man?" Evra asked, his smile growing into a ego filled grin.
"Well it beats Mr Big Dick." Tatsuya teased, her fingers lightly pinching his sides in a tickle.
"Does it really? Mr Big Dick is pretty catchy." Evra teased back, leaning forward and kissing along her cheek bone, "Mr Big."
Tatsuya shook her head at him, "I'm not Carrie fucking Bradshaw."
Evra laughed, "I have literally no clue what you're on about."
"Clueless." Tatsuya said softly with a smile on her lips, his warm arms were still wrapped round her.
"Completely" Evra agreed, sealing their agreement with a kiss. "Smitten." He whispered, leaving light breathy kisses dusted over her lips.
"Always." Tatsuya hummed against his lips and she was certain of it. She had never been more certain.
Aww fluffy love between the two of them. Next chapter is going to uncover some more mysteries about Tatsuyas life as they spend more time together. Theres also going to be a telling off in order for Crepsley.
Any nickname suggestions for the pair of them?
