So... Yeah I have no excuses for the late update! But I have several apologizes I swear! Life has just you know... been kinda hard. But all is well. And here is a update! Thank you all for sticking with me!
Read. Review. Enjoy! See you all soon!
I only own Elena!
"NYX!"
Elena yelped as she was rudely awakened once again, but this time it was from a blonde intruder, and Nyx quickly pulling the blankets up over her naked body incasing her into in chest.
"PROMPTO! What is wrong with people not knocking!"
Elena peeked out from over the blankets praying that he didn't see much, but by the slight blush and the lack of eye contact probably meant that he did.
Growling Nyx tighten his arms glaring at the young kid.
"What do you need."
"Oh. Uh. Noctis got a bounty, a big one. But we have to do it tonight." Prompto looked back over to them still not giving Elena any sort of eye contact. "We need some extra hands."
How many times has he accidentally seen her now. Grumbling she turned her head around burrowing into Nyx's warm body.
"Fine. Just give me a minute." Nyx groaned as he eyed the blonde making sure he leaves before he untangles himself from bed. "Guess I'll be back shortly."
Shrugging Elena cuddled deeper into the bed rolling into the middle closing her eyes tiredly.
They've only been asleep for a couple hours before they were loudly awakened.
"Just be safe. Make sure Noctis doesn't do anything dangerous."
"Your brother needs no protection. But we'll be back as quickly as possible."
Elena smiled tiredly as she felt him kiss her softly on her head before brushing her hair back affectionately.
"I'll see you soon." She heard him yawn tiredly.
She stayed awake just long enough to hear him grab his weapons, and lock the door, before her eyes closed completely, her mind drifting to her dreams.
Elena sighed as feather light touches ghosted up her bare leg, the finger tips outlining the curve of her body as it made its way up to her waist.
She wasn't sure when Nyx returned, or even what time it was. But she was going to relax into his touches for just a bit longer.
As his touches traveled around her torso circling her with a strong arm, she automatically scooted back forming her body against his.
But to her utter disappointment he was fully dressed, actually over dressed from the feel of it.
"Nyx. This is uncomfortable. Change clothes." She grumbled wiggling slightly against him.
"I will need to learn how to forgive you for being so indecent in front of other men." A voice chuckled from behind digging his hand into her backside, burying his head into her neck teasing the skin of her neck with small bites.
Startled Elena pulled away rolling off the bed wrapping herself tightly in the sheets. Numb she looked up, only a small amount of light leaked through the window, but shed always be able to recognize the smirking face of her hat wearing stalker.
"How.. What the hell are you doing here?" She hissed backing up away from the man, but to her horror the spare bed was in her way.
"I just thought I needed to check on my wife. Make sure she has healed, been treated good." Ardyn smiled dragging his legs across the bed and squatting in front of her. "But. I must say its rather unfortunate when all I can smell on you is that filthy Glaive."
Elena flinched as he let out a primal growl, the look of pure anger, and something else flashed in his eyes.
She needed to get out of here.
She was sure somebody had to be in this damn motel.
"I don't belong to you!" She tried to make her voice sound strong, but it came out small, and terrified.
"Oh, Princess, you belong to me. Your brother tied your fate when he decided to carry on his mission." He purred, the terrifying anger he once held immediately vanished as he dropped down closer so their faces were equal.
"My brother? What are you talking about! Is this just some form of revenge!" She spat pulling her head as far away from his as she could.
"It will all make sense in time love." He groaned as he stood quickly pulling her roughly with him by her forearm. "The next time I see you I hope you have detached yourself of the man. Or I will take him as a threat and he will be handled."
Shocked, Elena couldn't move out of his tight grasp, he was holding her up so that even her feet hovered off the ground. She was about to scream for help when Ardyn took the opportunity to catch her lips with his.
She wanted to gag as she felt his serpent tongue dance around her mouth, she tried to pull away but he held her firmly against him as he nipped and licked invading her mouth.
Using everything she had she threw out one of her legs, satisfied as she heard a loud grunt, and him releasing her, she didn't even wait, she jumped over the bed and rushed towards the door holding the thin sheet tightly around her.
"Help! Somebody!" She ripped open the door, screaming so intense she was sure the whole town had heard her.
Bunching up the sheets, trying to focus on remembering where the others rooms were, and not tripping over her own feet. Elena yelped as she ran into a tall figure bouncing slightly off of him but he quickly wrapped his arms around her before she fell backwards.
"Princess what in the world-"
"Ignis! Its him! He was in my room!" Elena cried as she pushed her face into his chest. "I don't know how- I - he was HERE!"
"Who is him? Elena I need you to speak clearly." Ignis pushed her away slightly to look at her directly. "Did someone do something to you?"
"Ardyn!" She hiccupped wiggling back into Ignis as tears rolled down her face, her body shook as she thought back to the man who just openly touched her.
"Get inside." Ignis growled pushing her into his room and bolting the lock as he pulled out his phone, angrily punching buttons. "Hey. You need to get here fast."
Elena stared blurry eyed as she watched Ignis pace the room, walking over towards the window looking out it before closing the blinds.
"We need to leave. Immediately."
She heard him order before hanging up the phone, as he ran around the room packing up things.
"Elena!"
She bolted up off the bed as she heard her name screamed by Nyx and her brother. It had been close to an hour if she had to guess since Ignis hung up with the others. Reluctantly he left her holed up in his room to go investigate hers, sadly he found nothing, but brought her a pair of shorts and shirt to put on.
Which she was extremely thankful for.
She really didn't want to explain to her brother why she fell asleep naked.
"Nyx!" She cried jumping off the bed rushing over throwing herself in his arms. Immediately melting in his embrace as he tightened his hold around her pulling her away he looked furiously at her lip, wincing as he brushed his thumb on it.
"What happened." Noctis was the one to speak up peaking from behind Nyx examining his sister.
"Ardyn." Elena sighed as she pulled away from Nyxs hand, returning her face into his chest.
"What!"
She jumped worriedly as the two men snapped in unison.
"What did he want?"
"What did he do?"
Whimpering at the barage of questions she pulled away from Nyx to look at them.
"I. I don't know. He just talked." Lies she flinched as she felt Nyx pinch her hip tightly. He obviously knew she wasn't telling the truth. "He wanted to make sure I was okay."
"Seriously?! This is getting weird, your not keeping anything from me are you." Noctis scolded glaring at her from behind Nyx.
"Uh. Um no. Thats all he wanted-"
"I'll take Elena back to the room, we should all pack and meet down by the Regalia. Its almost sunrise we should be able to start our journey to Cape Caem." Nyx interrupted the siblings dispute as he pulled her out the room.
Elena could only hear them all mumble a short agreement before she was painfully dragged back down the hall, toward the room.
She tried to pull out of his tight grip but it was impossible. He was just too strong.
"Nyx. That hurts-"
As if he didn't even know how tightly he was holding on to her he quickly released her as if her skin burned.
"Sorry." He grumbled kicking open the door gun drawn as he surveyed the room.
"That's unnecessary. Ignis was already here. He's gone" Elena mumbled as she closed the door behind them.
"What exactly did he do. And dont give me that bullshit you gave your brother. Did he touch you!? Your lips are obviously bruised, and it wasn't me."
"He. He didn't touch me like you might think. But disgustingly enough he doesn't have to imagine what I look like anymore. And he did- he did kiss me." Her body shook she was so angry at herself for letting him touch her. Though it wasn't her fault exactly, she couldn't help but blame herself.
"I'm never leaving you alone again." He growled as he stepped up to her grasping her face with both hands.
"You couldn't have known. I don't even know how he found me." She breathed raising both her hands to cover his. "He threatened you. Said that a reek of you. And I better detach from you or he will hurt you."
Snorting Nyx kissed her starting from her forehead, ending at her lips in a heated kiss. "He can try. But I'm not going anywhere." He whispered, Elena was happy to hear he was less angry.
"But if he hurts you because of me-"
"Not gonna let that happen." He promised pulling her into a tight hug. "Lets finish packing, its best if we don't stay any longer, he could still be watching."
"I'm not sure we are all gonna fit." Elena clicked her tongue as she walked closely behind Nyx as he deposited their bags on the ground near the Regalia.
"Yeah. I was worried about that."
Nervously Elena looked around the seemingly empty parking lot, the sun was just rising giving the world an eerie glow. It kinda looked like it might storm.. Maybe if she sits on somebody's lap it could work..
But it would get very uncomfortable. Nyx said that they were in for a days ride at least.
"Ignis, Elena, Nyx, and I will be riding in the Regalia. Prompto and Gladiolus will be taking that." Noctis tried to hold in his laughter as he pointed over to a junker a couple spots away. "Iris was thinking ahead, and found something for us."
"It will work." Nyx nodded throwing his things in the trunk before placing a palm on her lower back guiding her towards the Regalia.
"Says who! Watch us break down not even an hour in!" Prompto whined as he stalked over to the ugly green machine throwing his own bags in it.
"Quit your whining and let's go!" Gladiolus growled ruffling the blondes hair as he tossed his stuff in.
"Phones on. And eyes open. If anyone sees anything amiss we stop and regroup." Ignis advised as he took the drivers seat in the Regalia.
Everyone nodded in agreement before getting into their vehicles.
Nyx opened the door for Elena, scooting in after her as Noctis took the front seat beside Ignis.
Yawning tiredly she scooted closer into Nyx placing her head on his shoulder. Maybe if she's lucky she'd be able to sleep the entire way!
But the Gods were once again not on her side. And bright lighting strike, lit up the sky.
~*10hrs in to drive*~
"Gods you can barely see 10ft in front of you." Noctis sighed as he leaned forward in the front seat trying to force his eyes to work harder through the pouring rain. "At this rate we will be forced to drive through the night."
Groaning Elena stretched her legs across the seat and Nyx's lap, her back against the door.
Her brother was right. With how furious this storm was it had them driving at a rabbits pace. They've definitely wasted hours.
"We will push through till we can't. The map says its only another 5 hours." Ignis shrugged casually controlling the steering wheel as if he isn't driving through the worst storm of the season.
"The roads have been quiet. If we are lucky we won't run into any interference." Nyx added leaning back in his seat giving her ankle a quick squeeze.
Sighing Elena closed her eyes. Ignoring the thundering sounds focusing solely on Nyxs light massaging of her calves.
The trip so far had been slightly awkward, with her brother continuing to question her about Ardyns surprise visit, and Nyx eyeing her silently trying to force her to speak more of the truth.
But she wasn't ready.
She wasn't ready to tell her brother of Ardyns plans.
He would only blame himself.
