Chapter 45: Month two
It has been a month since the couple learned that Ray's pregnant. In Ray's room, we find her still experiencing morning sickness and she heard Zarc coming in. Ray looks up to see if it IS her husband coming in. To her surprise she is right but something is slightly off. Zarc is covered in debris. Where was Zarc when that happened? Zarc looked at his wife. "What is it dear?" the filth covered demon asked. Ray wondered about what happened to Zarc out there. She even remembered that Zarc lied to her when he accidentally blew up the kitchen weeks ago back at the honeymoon. To Zarc's eyes, the wife is full of concern. " Don't concern yourself with it." The demon reassured, "I'm more concerned about you." He then remembered the time that Zarc's in the middle of an industrial complex, fighting off guards with an Uzi, looking for something. His dragons help him fight. What Zarc said made the doll perk up in fear. "Why is that?" She asked as she freaks out, "Am I in danger?!" Zarc calmed her down a bit before he answers. "I just saw you puking again." It relieved her on what her husband said. Of course, that didn't stop Ray from being curious earlier. "You gonna dress me again?" Ray asked since she is now used to being dressed by her husband. Zarc even remembered on how he is laughing manically in a pile of broken equipment and bodies, blood soaked. Zarc looked back at his wife again so he can answer her question. "Not today," He answered, "Feeling worn out.." Ray looks at her husband in making sure. She even mentioned that she's in her PJs all day. "Oh, do you want me to?" The demon asked, "Have you gotten so used to me dressing you?" Ray nodded to the answer as Zarc smiled warmly. The truth is, Ray never like deciding on which clothing she can wear. Zarc goes to the wardrobe and opens it's doors. Pulling out from such furniture is a beautiful sea foam green dress with pearls. From the texture and looks of the dress is long and silky. Ray complimented on how pretty the dress is. She even remembered that she used to wore that for prom when she used to be in the asylum. Without warning, Zarc tries to help Ray with her PJs.
Meanwhile downstairs at the dungeon, we find four dragons playing poker. On the middle of the table is Schuberta with the poker chips and real money. Schuberta always doubted Zarc that the dragons gamble like crazy, but Zarc's right. In one move, Odd Eyes Pendulum dragon won in a game of poker. "Ha ha! All aces." Odd Eyes bragged as he took the poker chip towers with Schuberta in it, "Come to new waifu." Schuberta falls over, looking completely disheveled. From the looks on Schuberta, she got tortured numerous times. She has cuts all over her body. Some are healed to scars; some are new and sore. her hair in a beautiful wave of peachy red, now dull and lifeless and in a deeper shade of red. She has burn marks all over her body as well. Her dress is completely torn and ragged. If you look down on her crotch, she was raped. She was raped by the three dragons except Odd Eyes. Schuberta looked at the pendulum dragon as her eyes looks dull as well. "Come on Schuberta." Odd Eyes ordered the maestra gently, "I want to show you something." Schuberta is shaking in fear as she tries to stand up. "Never fear, it's safe." The dragon reassured. Schuberta followed Odd Eyes the the end of the dungeon. To their sight is a giant glass doll case. Inside it, is a throne and has the words inscripted on the case. The words are "Forever perfect. Forever mine." Odd Eyes stared at the case, admiring it's handy work. "Zarc vowed himself if Ray ever died, he will turn her into a doll to preserve her beauty." Odd Eyes then looked at Schuberta if she has anything to say. "And you know what turn her into a doll means right?" He asked. Schuberta's eyes widened. Why on earth Zarc would do such thing?! Yes Ray is beautiful in all her life but as a doll?! Odd Eyes asked if she can guess. The maestra doesn't have the strength to to talk. All she can do is stood in fear for her mistress's life. "I'll give you a hint." The dragon stated, "It involves taxidermy." Schuberta is in shock even more. Has Zarc lost his mind?! Turning her into a taxidermy trophy?! That means once she died, he'll skin her and stuff her. Leaving the corpse all muscle exposed. "Mistress..." Schuberta falls over in shock, hearing the fate of the mistress after death. "But not as a trophy," The dragon began, "But make her as a mobile doll like any other doll Zarc made." Starve Venom stood up after he collected the cards from poker. "Master would never let us eat her insides..." The fusion dragon stated as Dark Rebellion cleaned up the blood left behind from the other prisoners. "But he'll fill her with wires instead!" Schuberta shook in fear. Zarc is going to turn into an actual doll. Why on earth would Zarc do such thing?! Odd eyes looked at his pals in wanting a reminder. Starve Venom looked at the Pendulum dragon. "She'll be able to move and walk." Dark Rebellion reminded, "The master will live a long time, his power makes him heal fast." Starve Venom looked away so he can continue to gather the cards. "But the mistress may grow ill and that would make him sad." Odd Eyes remembered that Zarc found an artificial uterus and vagina and combined those together for his taxidermy doll. That explains it a lot according to Odd Eyes. Schuberta glared as she shook. "You're all insane..." She spoke weakly. Odd Eyes knew that he isn't as insane as Zarc. "Why do you follow him?" The Maestra demanded answers, "Why are you so loyal to that madman?" Odd Eyes saddened. He remembered how Zarc's parents died years ago. She should remembered that by now. Odd Eyes look back at Schuberta. "Because... We're the only family he has. That was horrible on how Zarc is fated. Schuberta is shocked that Zarc lost his parents years ago. flinched in pain from the cuts one last time, she passes out from the pain again.
Back upstairs, we find Zarc holding Ray warmly in his arms after dressing her. "Mmm!" Zarc moaned in ecstasy, "You make me so happy Ray." From what Ray is on besides the dress is she is all ready for the day. She has aqua blue eyeshadow on her eyelids with fake eyelashes and eyeliner on. Her hair is in a beautiful bun as the rest is down and flowing like an ocean. Garnished on the bun is a pink seashell with pearls decorated. Next to the shell is a lotus flower that has been preserved, thanks to Zarc. Ray has a nice shade of pink on her lips as she has white shimmer on her face and chest. To top it off is she is wearing a pearl necklace and earrings. Zarc nuzzled his dolly wife once more, admiring his handy work. Ray looked at her husband in knowing she can't fit the dresses every time her belly grew. " Zarc you do realize that each month goes by I can't fit these dresses anymore?" She asked in reminding the demon. Zarc stopped nuzzling to look at her. " I know." Zarc reassured as he then rubs her shoulders, "Does it bother you?" As much as she wants to admit, she can't help but being pampered by her psychopathic husband of her's. Something about her changed. She haven't felt THIS much attention and kindness, ever since she was at the asylum. She remembered how back there, one nurse who reassured her and calmed her down after Ray has been used for experiments there. Somehow that nurse, is like a second mother to her. Ray got herself back to the present to look at Zarc. "I was afraid you deny that the baby grows and can ruined the clothing." Zarc put his hands down then held her hand gently. "I think about it sometimes..." the demon answered as he places his other hand on her abdomen, "... Can you feel it yet?" Ray knew it's too early to feel the baby. She did felt slight movement but that's another story. Ray shook her head as she reminded her husband that it's too early. Zarc chuckled a bit. "Likewise.." Zarc then helps her sit down on the bed, before pulling back the curtain and peeking out the window. "... But I'm getting close..." Ray is curious on what does Zarc mean by that. She asked what does he mean by that. Zarc closed the curtains so he can look at his wife. "Ray, are you happy with me?" The demon asked. Ray knew she is happy with him slightly, but she knew he is evil at heart. Yes, he is evil but he is so caring and loving to Ray when he is with her. "Yes...I am.." Ray lied as she hugs her arms. Zarc looks back at his wife. "Really?" He asked, "That's the truth?" Ray knew she can't say no. Why? She is afraid she will get hurt by Zarc again. But not physically, but mentally. "Yes." Ray lied once more. She looked away a bit to think. 'Don't worry Schuberta I will escape for you,' She vowed in thinking, 'Just need the right time.' Zarc walks back to her and sits in bed. "Because you know, I love you, and every thing I'm doing is for you." The demon reminded, For us." He then kisses her as Ray understood him. Ray kissed back as Zarc is not breaking the kiss. Ray then felt her hand held by Zarc. "Zarc we gotta think of names." Ray reminded since after all, she is pregnant. Zarc chuckled once more then looks at her. "Is this my daughter or my son?" He asked. Zarc nuzzled her cheek in showing affection towards to his wife. Ray wanted a girl but she needs to be sure what does Zarc want. "What do you want?" She asked. "A healthy wife and child." The demon answered with a smile. Ray is not slightly amused from Zarc's answer. Can't he be specific? She told him that she meant by gender. Zarc gently hugs her hips. "It doesn't matter to me," Zarc stated, "I just want you to give birth safely and have a healthy baby." The doll knows Zarc wanted a boy. She even have names for both genders. "I thought of names we can use." She stated as her husband looked at her. "What name would that be?" The demon asked, "Hope it's not Zarc Jr, the poor kid." Ray shook her head; knowing that name is just plain silly. "I was thinking about Asriel." Zarc is a little surprised from the name. That name really means "The Angel of Death." (a/n Asriel Dreemer from Undertale anyone?) "Sounds morbid." he complimented, "What about the girl?" Ray kept thinking about the name for the baby girl. "Want to name her after your mom: Saria?" She asked, "She would be honored." Zarc looks at her in surprise. He never heard his mother's name for a daughter name before. "Sometimes I think you think about my mom even more than I do." Zarc stated as he kisses her forehead, "have to go now... these things don't wait" Ray watches Zarc getting up from the bed. "I just saw her spirit everyday." Zarc looks back at his wife. "Tell her I said hello," Zarc ordered, "And I hope she likes the work I'm doing." He lets go of his wife's hand and heads out. Ray told Zarc she will do such thing. Zarc pats Ray on the head. "Good girl!" The demon stated, "Love you!" he then heads out, shutting the door. When he left the room, he cracks his neck a few times. "Well," The demon began, "What have they got planned today?" Zarc heads downstairs, checking what is going on at the dungeons.
