Chapter 84 - One's Shadow Breaking
"..." Selbith responded to Jin's aloof answer and escape.
Confused still by his actions, given what composes him and how his body reacted, she wondered if there was something special behind his reasoning. Seeing him go to the window, he stopped and opened the blinds. Adjusting his glasses then putting his hands in his pockets, he stared out of it. Blinking, she walked forward to stand beside him. Being shoulder to shoulder with him, she stared out the same glass.
"..." he said not moving and continuing to look out.
"...I don't understand..." Ami stated.
"...about what...?"
"...your aversion to a common practiced act," she began then turned to him. "It is supposed to be pleasurable...the only concept I have of what it is suppose to be or feel is what I observed in hell."
"...makes sense..." Jin stated then shifted a little. "Being a Grim Reaper, your purpose was to only take lives that were on death's door...or one's that crossed it."
"Yes...that was the only sense of fulfillment," she agreed then stepped closer to him. "In a skeletal-phantom form, we are blessed with going between the realms and possessing a physical form."
"Mmm-hmm."
"Despite those traits...our senses were only keen in a couple of areas...however...since possessing a mortal body...the ones that were not acute have become," she trialed off. Turning her head toward him, she saw him looking at her from the corners of his eyes.
"...sensitive..." the female teen stated then got in front of him. Grabbing his forearms and pulling them up slightly, he didn't move. Pulling harder, he resisted a little as if to watch what she was doing. Seeing his hands were out of his pockets and his torso free, she pressed herself against him again. This time, she got an indicator from him that.
"...Jin..." she whispered pressing her lower half against his.
"...no...how I react does not mean I want to," he reacted quickly and moved back a step.
"..." Selbith reacted with just a blink. Not letting go of his forearms, she stared at him hard. Without responding, she stepped forward.
"h-h-hey..." Jin responded quietly and moved back in equal stride. "K-Knock it off."
"...give in Jin...there is no shame in experiencing a primal desire."
"That's rich coming from you. You need to take a chill pill."
"...you are the one...that is overreacting..." Ami continued walking her slow pace.
"Uh-huh...sure I am," he stated backing up. Flinching, he reached the side of his bed and stopped.
"And you are just acting like any normal person huh?"
"...under certain conditions from the observations of mortals and demons," she commented pressing herself on his torso. She was nose to nose with him and staring hard in his eyes. By contrast, the sophomore was in a state of confliction.
"...yes..."
"Hate to break it to you...but this isn't the E.D.E. mortal realm or Hell," Jin mentioned trying to get out of her grip. He was still stronger than her and was resisting in a controlled movement.
"What customs you follow or are mimicking don't exactly apply here...!?"
Being rushed, the sophomore fell backwards on the bed. Bracing for impact, he felt someone mount on top of him. Where Selbith sat down made both of them to flinch a little. Feeling her let go of his wrists, she placed her hands on his chest. Oddly, she was breathing more and had redness come to her face.
"...h-h-h-e-e-e-y-y-y..." the male teen stuttered adjusting his glasses. He sounded guilty, resistive, and holding back.
"...I-I said...g-get off..." he whispered sternly.
"..." Ami responded with shifting a little.
It caused her to breath deeply and closed her eyes. Gliding her hands down his torso, she felt him squirm a little. Ignoring his protests, she moved her hands to her groin area. Rubbing them against herself while moving up her body, her senses were overly stimulated. Moving to her torso, she reached for her shoulders.
"Selbith...that is enough," the sophomore stated tensely.
"..." she spoke. Sliding both the throw on sweater and the sundress off her shoulders, they fell straight down. Stopping at her pelvis area, she opened her eyes. Looking down at him with his face both stimulated and frustrated, everything from her bellybutton up was bare. Slowly moving her hands to his stomach, she trailed down slowly.
"...you can't resist..." she cooed feeling much heat radiate from her body.
"..." Jin reacted with feeling his eyes widen a little.
'YoU cAn'T#%$^rEsIsT'
"...what..." he spoke evenly.
At the same time, he slowly sat up. Even though Ami's hands were going toward his groin area, she did not resist him changing position. Thinking that he would move her to lie down on the bed, he just sat up straight. Sitting on his lap, the frustration, apprehension, and anxiety on his face was gone. He slowly placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her directly in the eye.
"...did you...just say?"
"...I say you can't-!?" Selbith began when he snatched her mouth with one hand. His fast movement and lack of expression made her feel more alert in her pleasure driven state.
"Don't...you...dare...say...that...again," the sophomore whispered in a growling voice. It made the female teen pause. Though she wondered if he was still trying to resist, his alteration in tone sounded familiar. Wondering when did he speak like that before, Pandora's Box came to mind.
'...his reaper self...it is only in the other realm...he is just putting up an act,' she thought.
Slowly grabbing his hands and trying to pull them free from gripping her, they didn't move. Trying one more time, he narrowed his eyes while giving her a hard stare. Letting her pull his hands away, she moved them to her chest. Interlacing her fingers from the backside of his hands, she pushed them to her breasts. Feeling the warmth of his hands was soothing; however, he moved his face closer to hers.
"...Selbith...I am...asking you...to stop...right now," the male teen growled again looking at her with a threatening expression.
"...no..." Ami whispered back sternly. "...the sin of lust has been casted...madness will overtake us if we do not perform the act."
"...Reapers...do not cast...spells of sin..." Jin stated not moving or looking away from her.
"...I have seen damned souls perish and transcend into delirium beings from being casted the succubus incantation...the more they resisted, the worst the symptoms became...I will not end up like them."
"...Eve...would not cast...a spell on you...of something...she wanted to do personally," he corrected. His statement made Selbith pause. Narrowing her eyes a little, she spoke getting irritated quickly.
"I do not disagree...however...I am not leaving or moving...until you penetrate me."
"..." the sophomore responded with a blink. His expression changed into a wicked grin that made Ami blink.
"...penetrate...you say..." he spoke. Sounding a little more sinister, he tilled his head a little to the right.
"...by what means...do you want to be pierced with?"
"...don't...play...dumb..." Selbith responded feeling a reaction. Remember that she enjoyed that expression in Pandora's Box, the male teen squeezed his hands. It made her flinch and curl her lips in.
"...tttteeeelllllll mmmmeeee...don't make me submit you," the male teen commanded then grinded his teeth afterwards.
"...I...I...I won't..." she replied breathing harder.
At the same time, heat from her lower region seemed to increase. It made resisting the urges harder. Letting go of his hands, she moved them to his face. Seeing and feeling his vicious looking grin still on his face, she tried to get his face to relax. The grin reduced down to a cruel smile, but the evil eyes he gave remained. Unable to hold back, Ami kissed him hard. Closing her eyes and examining the immediate sensations, it only lasted a few seconds.
"Jin?" Samantha called from the door after knocking a couple of times. "Are you in your room?"
"..." Selbith reacted with not moving. Continuing to lip lock him, she opened her eyes. Feeling them widen a little, his expression was the same look of a sadist. His icy stare seemed to intensify. Feeling his lips go back to large smile, he let go of her chest. Unable to see where his hands were goin, he slowly pulled way from her mouth.
"...yes mom..." the male teen answered. Selbith saw his arms go around her. Feeling his left wrap around her waist and hold her securely, it felt comforting. She waited for the other arm to enclose her.
"Is Ami with you as well?"
"...tell your parent we are-!?" the female teen began then stopped. Feeling strong and firm nails slowly dig where her upper spine was, she saw the wicked grin come back.
"...A...N...S...W...E...R..." Jin demanded in a quiet tone while sliding his nails down slightly. It felt like he was cutting her skin with his nails alone. Also, feeling him go over the spine gave her a mild numbing sensation.
"...I am here as well..." she answered and the nails stopped sliding.
"Your cellphone is ringing in your room...weren't you suppose to have it on you based on your father's request?"
"...yes..."
"I'll escort her down mom...we are just finishing up...playing a small game," the sophomore added changing to a normal tone despite what his face looked like.
"Okay. Hopefully the small game is not doing funny business," Mrs. Ainsley stated in a half amused tone.
"...we aren't mom..." he answered. Letting go of her, he worked on getting her clothes back on. Seeing that Ami was not resisting, she became dressed. Instead of telling her to get off, he picked her up. Setting her down, both headed toward the door.
"Mmm-hmm. Better not be given that both of you are alone in your room," she continued. Waiting for a response, there was only silence. Hearing the door open, Jin was on the other side. Continuing to opening it, Derek's daughter was standing next to him. She was still dressed in the sundress and throw on sweater.
"That was quick," his mother mentioned with a small smile.
'I didn't hear either of them walking toward the door,' she thought.
"..." the male teen said with a nod. Gesturing toward outside of the room, he looked Selbith.
"Go ahead. I will follow."
"..." the female teen responded. Blinking then looking at his mother, she gave a slight nod. Leaving his room and heading towards the stairs, he left his room as well. He felt Samantha put a hand on his shoulder and leaned close to him.
"Hey Jin...is she okay? What game were two playing?" she whispered.
Seeing him not answering or turning toward her, he kept staring forward. Blinking and following her son's line of sight, she suppressed a flinch. Derek's eldest daughter was at the top of the stairs and looked directly back at them. Unable to determine the expression she was giving, Ami walked back to them. When she got near them, she reached and grabbed his right hand.
"What we were playing...was a game on his mobile phone," she answered neutrally.
"..." Mrs. Ainsley responded. Observing how tense the female teen seemed to be, she couldn't tell if it was frustration from losing the game or some bodily function that was brewing.
"...okay..." she said letting go of Jin's shoulder. Standing up straight, her son looked back at her with an apologetic smile. Feeling his arm being pulled, Ami had turned around and started walking back to stairs.
'Now she is acting way too suspicious for my tastes,' she thought watching the two go down to the first floor. Continuing to watch them, they reached the living room where Ami continued to lead. Crossing the space to the guest room, both entered. Listening for the door to sound closed, no noise came to indicate that.
'...I'll check in a few minutes...' Samantha reasoned to herself and headed for her bedroom.
"...Jin..." Selbith stated. Stopping after taking a few steps into the room, she turned around.
"..." the sophomore replied with giving her a blank stare. He didn't step back or blink as she got in front of his face.
"...I seem to be satisfied..." she began then leaned toward his right ear. "...for now..."
"..." he responded with a slow blink. "You're a semi-masochist now?"
"...no..." the female teen replied then pressed herself against him. "...I seem to react better and receive more pleasure when you are dominate."
"...I see..."
"...therefore..." Ami mentioned leaning back. Being nose to nose with him, she looked at him determined.
"By nightfall...you will fornicate me...with the same intensity that you showed in your chamber."
'#$^#$%' Jin thought feeling his mind grind hard.
'...yyyyeeeessss...that is it...' a familiar voice echoed in his head. '...let the emotions...feed your change...'
'DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT,' Jin threatened in his mind. 'I WILL MURDER YOU.'
'...heeeeeheeeheehe...come now...there is no need to deny$#%#what you are becoming,'
'I'M NOT YOU!' the male teen shouted in his mind. It only made the other voice chuckle more.
'...you cannot escape...I will be waiting for you...and you will seek me...very soon.'
"...Jin...?" Selbith called to him a third time. Seeing that his eyes appeared to be glazed over, she stepped back. Letting go of his hand, he started blinking and focusing. Looking around a little, his head moved to be staring back at Ami.
"You understand Jin?"
"..." he replied and just frowned at her. "I understand...and that is how far it will go."
"...no..." the female teen remarked and confronted him. "You will take me even if I have to put a blade to your throat."
"...oh...so you just want to rape me," he commented then crossed his arms. About to correct her, he stopped and wave a dismissive hand.
"This is going nowhere. Just answer the call that was on your cell," Jin stated then turned around. He didn't get very far when two arms wrapped around his torso.
"You will not leave me alone...get use to it," she mentioned holding him.
'...III...III AAAMMM...' the sophomore raged in his mind and felt his expression darkening. '...I AM GOING TO RIP OFF YOUR FACE!'
"...yeah yeah...whatever," Jin said dismissively and freed himself from her arms. "Just answer your...phone already."
"...escort me to it..."
"..." the male teen commented keeping his grumbling to himself.
Turning around with her attached to him, they walked to the night stand. Seeing the phone on top, he picked it up. Seeing a light notification, he opened it up. A pop up window showed on the main screen of the miss call. Pressing the dial button, he handed back to her as it was ringing.
"...put it on speaker..." she told him in a low tone. Hearing him grunt, he did so. A couple of rings went by when the line was connected.
[...hello...daughter...] Derek stated over the phone. There was slight agitation in his voice.
"...hello...father..." Ami replied back.
[I see that you finally picked up...are you there Jin?]
"Yes sir."
[...I see...well...I will be able to knock out two birds with one stone] he stated sounding not as irritated. [I will be stopping by to...pick you up my daughter]
"..." Selbith reacted with holding onto Jin more.
"Family outing Mr. Felmort?" Jin asked in a neutral tone. He used his willpower to not grin at someone's demise of being with their family.
[...yes...my children and wife want to take Ami...shopping and spend time together...without you escorting] the man stated then gave a small pause. [...for the time being]
"I see...I understand," the male teen said ignoring the eldest daughter digging her nails into his ribs. "That might be good for acclimating back to the family again."
[...I agree my boy...since that settles it...I will be there soon]
"Roger."
[Goodbye...my daughter...I will see you...sssoooooonnn] Derek drew out the last word before hanging up. Closing the phone, Jin heard Ami breathing a little heavier and quicker.
"...Jin...you will not leave me with that man," she demanded and turned him around.
"...his your "father" Selbith...and your "family" wants to treat you...you can at least respond to those feelings and go along with them," he tried reasoning. She shook her head quickly.
"...no...I will not go with that man. I will not be a part of those minion mortals," the female teen declared still not letting go of him.
"...you know...he will probably take you by force."
"Then I will fight him."
"You know he towers you and your siblings, right?"
"Then give me a weapon."
"..." the sophomore reacted with a lone raised eyebrow. "...look...you just need to calm down. You might enjoy yourself with a change of scenery."
"...I...am...not...going...to be separated...from you," Ami declared staring at him with anxiety.
'...ggoooo aaahhheeeaaadddd...offer...the BrIbE' Jin's reaper voice spoke in his ears. Grinding his teeth from what that meant, it seemed to be the only bargaining chip he had. Breathing in and out deeply through his nose, he hugged Selbith. She slowly stopped fidgeting and hugged him firmly.
"...I have...a proposition..." the male teen began with a low dark tone. "...if you go through...with the outing...I promise...to engage nightly pleasures of sin...with you...until you have become...full of content."
"..." Selbith responded with a pause. Feeling herself relaxing from hearing him propose that, she almost readily accepted it. Pulling her head back to be face to face with him, she spoke.
"...what assurance do you-!?" she began when he kissed her on the lips. Feeling her eyes widen a little, the sensation overload was different from when she kissed him. It seemed more potent, stimulating, and gave a sense of calmness. Feeling him part from her mouth, she felt a little warmer.
"That...is my seal of assurance," Jin stated then touched her nose with his. He smiled devilishly at her.
"...I see..." Ami spoke softly looking at his face. Feeling a warmth in her chest, she held a downcast head.
"...very well..." she agreed. Moving her head to be next to his face, she held him affectionately.
'...hehheeee$#$%...the TiMeClOcK...hAs BeEn...sssseeeeetttttttt.'
'...shut...up...' Jin thought gravely in his mind. Ignoring who he was holding, he felt that his aggravated and glaring stare could burn a hole in the wall. Hearing the reaper chuckling in his mind, he clenched his teeth.
Once Adam made all the arrangements he planned, he traveled back to the airport. Despite that he couldn't convince Jin in person, he was confident that a different type of persuasion will work again. Still concerned from the aspect that Selbith was not in the helmet at the teen's home, he couldn't do anything about it right now. If the crisis on hand was not so dire, he would do more research and looking at previous logs.
'...it does not matter now,' he thought continuing on the highway. 'What only matters is that brat is captured and put back into the game. From there, the viruses will have him and let go of everyone else.'
Waiting in the living room, time seemed to go by slowly. Selbith sat next to him on the couch and kept a hand on him as if being in contact comforted her. Hearing someone coming down from the second floor, both teens turned to the right. It was Samantha.
"Mom?" Jin called.
"Yes honey?" she asked.
"Mr. Felmort is coming over," he said. It caused her to stop in place and blink a couple of times at them.
"He is picking up Ami for a family outing with her sisters and mother."
"...Oh...how nice," his mother stated breathing again. Getting down to the first floor, she headed toward them. Seeing the look of concern on Ami's face, she seemed nervous.
"I'm sure you'll have a nice time with your family Ami...just trust your family and you will have fun," Mrs. Ainsley tried to encourage.
"..." the rail thin teen responded with not moving or saying anything.
'As much as I would sympathized...you need to get out more and be with your family,' Samantha thought putting her hands on her hips. Just about to say something, there was a knocking at the front door. Ami was the only one that flinched and darted her eyes at the door.
"Coming," Mrs. Ainsley mentioned loud enough. As she walked to the front entrance, Jin helped Selbith to stand. Escorting her to the exit door, each step seemed hesitant.
"...you'll be fine," the sophomore whispered and patted her hand that held him firmly.
"..." Samantha spoke opening the front door. Keeping a neutral face, on the other side was Derek. He wore a shark smile.
"...Sammy...good morning..."
"...morning Derek..."
"Ahhh...there you are my daughter," he mentioned and held out his hand. "Come...our family...awaits."
"..." Selbith responded with a mild fidget. Pressing her lips together, she gingerly let go of Jin. Walking forward and passed his mother, she stood in front of Derek. His crude looking smile remained the same. Blinking at him and waiting, he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"...good...let's go...goodbye Sammy...and Jin," the man stated with a small grin.
"..." Ami spoke looking back at the two. Giving a small wave to them, both Ainsleys waved back. Watching the two Felmorts head toward his SUV, both got in. Seeing the vehicle drive away and out of sight, Samantha sighed in relief.
"This is probably the first time that we are back to having a normal family setting," she mentioned then looked her son. He looked distracted by something to his left. Oddly, his neck muscles were tensing.
"...Jin?" she called placing a hand on his right shoulder.
"Huh?" the male teen responded then turned his head toward her. "Sorry mom...I thought I saw something. Nothing of concern."
"...are you sure? You neck was pretty tense."
"...yeah...probably moved my neck in a wrong way that pinched something slightly."
"Oh...okay. Well now that you are free, what are you going to do?" she asked with a relieved smile.
"...I don't know...feels weird to have...free time to myself."
"Mmm-hmm. Why not take a nap? I bet you are tired from what happened this morning."
"...okay...I'll do that in a bit. Thanks mom," he said then got a hug from her.
"Of course sweetie. Let me know if you need something, okay?"
"Yes mom," the male teen responded and gave a hug back.
Feeling her let go, she went back into the living room. Closing the screen door, he headed for the separate garage. Getting close to the side entrance, he opened it. Stepping inside and adjusting his glasses, he scanned around. Seeing the coast was clear, he entered then locked the door. Getting his phone out, he headed toward the workbench on the other side.
Placing his phone down, he looked for a mirror. Finding one that was a descent medium size, he grabbed it. Placing it on the backboard of the counter, he stared at his reflection. Looking at it harder, he glared at it.
"...come out..." he muttered in a low tone. "I know you are in there...show your face."
Focusing so intently on the mirror, nothing occurred. Grabbing a stool nearby, he sat down and continue to stare at the mirror. A couple of minutes passed by when he suddenly felt the onset of exhaustion. Not leaving his spot, he put his forearms on the counter. Trying to stay awake, his eyes were getting heavier and heavier.
"...I said...shhhooowww...yyyuuuurrrr...fa...fam...," Jin muttered. Taking his glasses off and placing them to the side, tiredness hit him harder. Placing his head down on his forearms, sleep came to him instantly.
