Chapter 43: Month one pt. 1

The next morning, Zarc didn't sleep, spend the night torturing Schuberta with the dragons help. No fun, creative methods that might, just hours of endless pain. Finally relaxed enough, he was able to gather his composure to visit Ray. ".. Darling," He spoke, "May I come in?" the demon sounds genuinely remorseful as he find his wife has all of her make up washed away, from the tears she shed. "Yes Zarc." Ray answered. Zarc opens the door to his wife's room. "Good morning." The demon greeted as he stands in the doorway, a little shy. Ray stood up on her knees, on the bed. "Good morning Zarc." Zarc comes inside the bedroom, shutting the door behind him. "... You feeling well?" Zarc asked, "With, the baby I mean. Are you sick?" Ray looks away from her husband a bit, about to be sick. "Oh I'm fine," Ray denied, "Not sick or anything." Ray feels like she is going to vomit once more. "But I can't trust myself when I get." Before she finishes her sentence, she pukes into the basin again. "...morning sickness." Zarc sighed about what she is going through. She have to do such thing. After all she is pregnant. Zarc goes to his wife then sat next to her. "Is there something you came for?" Ray asked as she wipes her mouth with a tissue. Zarc looks at his wife. "You made me sad, you know?" Ray turned away a bit. She really did hurt him. All she wants is her freedom but not in such condition. "And I'm sorry if I did that on you." Ray spoke as she hugs her arms gently, "I didn't mean to make you feel so angry." Zarc took Ray's hand gently, wanting to show her that he loves his wife. "Anger I can handle." Zarc admitted, "The Resistance makes me angry, The globe makes me angry, but you make me feel so warm." Zarc turned away a bit. "Until yesterday." Ray got closer to her husband who is the demon in disguise. "Please Zarc I'm sorry if I hurt you like that." She says, "Will you forgive me?" Zarc nuzzled his wife warmly. "Of course I do, darling." Zarc answered, "And I still love you." Ray smiled warmly at her husband, trying to hide the emotion fear then saw a chest from yesterday. "What's in the trunk?" Zarc was confused at first until he noticed what she is talking about. "Odd Eyes took me on a little trip yesterday." The demon answered as he tugs the trunk over, clicking it open to reveal the dress. The dress is a beautiful baby blue Victorian dress. Ray must admit. The dress is quite beautiful. Despite it is an old dress, it will fit Ray just fine. Zarc smiled to it's handiwork. "I want to dress you." He said as he holds the gown up with a corset, "This one has a corset, so it'll squeeze you a little." Ray is quite surprised. She never wore a corset before. Will it hurt the baby? She looks at her husband then asked about it. Zarc gave her a dumb smile. "I dunno." He goofily answered. (a/n Wow Zarc...How stupid can you get?) Ray just doesn't know how to put it then looks at her husband. "Well do your thing." She ordered, "But be easy on me." With that said, she placed her hand on the womb.

Zarc smiled gleefully. He get to see her naked again. "Strip." He ordered and he watches her taking off her dress, exposing her breasts that has no bra or panties on. Zarc blushed from her body. He forgets that she doesn't normally wear a bra and Zarc doesn't want Ray to wear panties anymore. "Forgot about that part." Zarc admitted. With that said after, he wraps the corset around her and begins to lace her up from the back. (a/n Just so you know everyone, at the early stage of pregnancy, the corset is safe to wear. Of course you must not wear it anymore after about six weeks along.) Ray gasped from the squeezing on her body. Zarc kept pulling the strings. Zarc pulls it nice and tight, ties a bow, then reaches around and grabs her breasts. "Ray!" The demon cried in starting to compliment, "Your boobs look amazing in this!" Ray gasped in surprise from the action her husband did on her boobs. Zarc then squeezes her breasts, pinching her nipples, then releases. "I'd love to sit and tease you more," Zarc began, "But I want to see you dressed too!" As she is released, she panted in lust then grabs the dress Zarc showed. Zarc helped her put on the piece of clothing for the day. "Take a look in the mirror!" He ordered. Ray looked into the mirror on the vanity desk. She looks so stunning. Zarc then begins to put makeup on her, then adds some jewelry. "You're so lovely." Zarc complimented. Ray looks at herself in the mirror. She does look so lovely like any doll Zarc makes. She has been in her room for so long, she got bored. She looks at her husband through the mirror. "Zarc are there other places you like to show me?" She asked as in for a tour, "You already showed me the room with a waterfall, flowers and other life in there." Zarc changes his expression. What did she say? "Why did you have to go and ruin the moment?" Ray didn't mean to ruin such moment. She's just asking after all. ray apologized quick then looks at her husband again. "I love the look you put on me." Ray admitted, "Where did you even get the necklace?" Zarc was shaken by Ray's words from earlier. "It was in the antique shop where I found the dress..." Soon an argument went out and the two were fighting about Ray leaving the fortress and wanting to leave. Of course their fight has been broken up by Clear Wing, who has been just got up from his rest, with a migraine. What Clear Wing is wearing is not something you see everyday. He has hair curlers on with a pink robe, and holding a mug of coffee, wearing white bunny slippers. Ray mistaken him as Clear Wing's mom at first until he spoke. Even Zarc is dumbfounded from what he saw. Moments of explaining later, Zarc took a deep breath, finally understanding what Ray REALLY means thanks to Clear Wing's words. "Alright." Zarc spoke, "Just, stay close to me, okay?" With that said, he smiles a little. Ray thanked her husband then Clear Wing spoke up. "Now no more bickering okay?" He asked, "I woke up with a headache." Zarc looked at his monster, still dumbfounded. "Go away."

Still dumbfounded from what he saw, he unlocks the doors. Outside Ray's room is the same long hallway as before. One direction leads to Zarc's experimental room. Ray has never been the other way. "What's in such room?" Ray asked. Zarc looks at his wife as she is curious. "This is the topmost floor of the inner cathedral." He answered, "I keep everything too precious to lose up here." Ray looks at her husband in curiosity. "Is this one the forest?" She asked. Zarc points to a door. "That one." The demon answered as he then points to the third door. "In here are my monster cards and my mothers collection." Zarc looks back at Ray's room. "And then there's your room... all of them are up here..." He kept speaking as he then points down the hall. "And the stairs leading down." Ray looks down the hall. "What's downstairs?" She asked. Zarc took Ray's hand, leading her to the next floor down. The hallway is open with huge, arched windows, showing off the view of the grounds outside. The city looks awful, but the actual church grounds look neat and well maintained, with actual grass. "This is the second floor," He answered, "The church's original library is in here." Zarc points to some enormous double doors. 'Those are some pretty big doors.' Ray thought, looking up in surprise. Zarc opens them up. The room is lined with books, with soft looking sofas and chairs. "It's mostly bibles as far as I can tell," He admitted, "But if you like to read, I suppose you might find something..." The doll looks inside and found a book of difference demon species and how to prevent them. She took the book to look inside have some information, and decided to keep the book. "There are so many books Zarc." Zarc didn't know Ray really likes to read. He remembers that she used to read the Hunger Games when she and Zarc were at the Bahamas. The demon doesn't want to budge, but does at the same time. "I'll... leave your door unlocked," The demon lets Ray know, "So you can come down here..." Ray looks at her husband then smiled warmly. "Thank you." She said. Before she is going to kiss her husband, she felt like she is going to puke. In slight fear, Zarc took his wife to the library restroom. It's multiple stalls, originally intended for many people to use. Ray ran into one of the stalls then begins to vomit into the toilet. Zarc looks at his wife in the stall then sighs. 'This is going to be a long month.' Zarc thinks to himself.
