3. chapter 3

A sharp knock on the door roused me from my nap sometime later and I groaned, tugging the blanket on the back of the couch down around myself and Samantha just before Tom stepped briskly into the room. "Don't worry, I would hate to disturb you." Sam snorted. "When we want lip from you I'll knock you over and sit on your face..." She quipped, nuzzling down into the blanket to hide as the door opened allowing sunlight to flood in. I shielded my eyes as well until it closed behind who ever had entered. "Its David. Full disclosure, these 2 have fucked on every surface in this house. You have been warned." Tom said, casting a withering glare at us and Sam stuck hey tongue out. "You're just jealous he's better than you. He doesn't say mean things, like I'm gross when I ask for sex while I'm on my period, and he cuddles me!" A soft laugh escaped and I smoothed away her hair until it was tucked back behind her ears as her head thumped down lightly against my chest. Soft cheek pressing against my peck as I petted down her back. "Hi David. You normally call before dropping by." Tom snorted. "He did. 10 times and everytime he did you were either fucking or sleeping." She made a sad noise and I narrowed my eyes. "You had best watch your self else my hand may slip over your morning coffee. What she does or doesn't do is of little consequence to you now get out. I'll not have you upsetting her while she is feeling vulnerable." This David watched me closely for a long moment before moving to sit in the chair catty corner to us when Tom left. "I see you've made a new friends since you've started ignoring us. I was worried about you Samantha." She heaved a sigh, fingers moving to pluck at the edges of the blanket as she always did when nervous and the blue edging into her eyes only gave more proof to her stress. David held out a hand but the deadly glare I shoot him kept him from coming closer. "Samantha, was he the one?!" She looked confused before her eyes widened in realization. "Oh absolutely not! David would never hurt anyone like that! He is a very good friend of mine and it's not him I'm nervous over. Honesty Severus." My eyes darted to her, watching for several seconds before inclining my head and relaxing. "Are you going to tell me just what is wrong?" She shook her head side to side. "No. It isn't something I want to talk about..." What ever had happened, it clearly had her quite spoked. From the corner of my eye I saw David pick up my wand and I snatched it away from him. "Do, not, ~touch, that~." He looked rather surprised, before something else crossed his face, something that I didn't like. *He is a muggle correct?* Sam nodded. *Yeah. He knows of my ability to access the thoughts of others though but nothing more.* David held his hands out. "Yours I take it?" I nodded sharply . "Yes, and I don't much like anyone else touching it." The edges of his lips tugged slightly and my eyes narrowed sinking into his mind to figure out just what he playing at. His eyes opened wider as I devolved into his thoughts, exploring what occupied them. *A video was playing out on a screen with several other people the room. A lone male with a hand gun sneaking through shelving, checking each corner but suddenly he recoiled backwards falling to the ground as another man stepped from an open door way. 2 more shots were fired into the downward man before suddenly Samantha was right there. The gun was swung around at her but he didn't get a chance to use it. Her lips moved soundless just as the rest of the memory and a single purple bolt left her wand. He crumpled to his knees almost instantly, arm falling limply at his side before he fell face first onto the rough ground. The few steps between her and the other man were cleared and she stabbed her wand tip quickly into his middle as blood covered his chest. For a long time neither of them moved before he finally grabbed her hand and she slumped over him. For about 2 minutes they sat there before she finally rose to her knees, covering his eyes with a hand. Her wand touched his forehead much more gently than his chest in her panic, and then she vanished. The man she'd saved looked really confused and I could only guess she'd wiped his memory.* A deep breath was sucked in I pulled my eyes from his, back to Samantha. "He knows." She looked quite confused. "Knows what?" The blue around the edges of her eyes darkened a few shades in apprehension clearly having guessed at what I meant. "I'm quite skilled Legilimency. The reason he is here is because worries for you after killing that man to save your friend. There was a camera you cleanly over looked in your hurry. Could have told me." A thin line of blood creased the corner of her mouth and I swept it away. "You shouldn't have done that Severus. I never wanted anyone to know..." Tears welled up behind her graying eyes and I held her tightly. "I'm sorry. It was not my desire to see your secrets, only what he was hiding." Fingers bunched against my flesh and I grabbed some tissues to clear away her tears. "I'm quite sure had there been another option you wouldn't have killed him, but was things were, even a seconds of hesitation would have cost you your life. I am glad that it was him and not you. It's alright." Her jaw tightened and I petted her back firmly. "I killed him! How can you say that's alright?!" Black edged in around the gray, blue flecking heavily through as well. "Because if you had not reacted it would have cost you your life, your friend as well. You did what anyone would and that choice probably saved more lives than just yours. You did the right thing." She swallowed thickly, eyes darting around mine for a long minute before finally blowing out a sigh. "I guess you're right. Still doesn't make me feel good though." Most of the color drained from her eyes, leaving only gray flecked with the barest hints of jade as I kissed her head firmly. "I'd be quite concerned if you expressed pleasure at ending a life. Of course you're going to regret having to take that course of action, Samantha. It's only natural to be upset over having to end a life, but refusing to talk about it won't it any less real, no matter how much you wish it would. I know that better than most." Her eyes widened slightly before slowly closing to nuzzle into my neck. "I'm so sorry he asked you to do that Severus... You're a good man, and you've been through horrors most could scarcely imagine. The fact you haven't turned into a raging psychopath after everything that had happened is honestly amazing. You're by far the strongest man I've ever met to have come out of that as you have." Soft fingers pressed warmly against my cheek and I laid mine over them, just holding them there. It meant a lot to hear her say that. "It is nice to have someone that knows the truth. Thank you. I'm curious, Samantha. You don't have to talk about if you don't want to, but it may help. The spell you used to defend yourself, I didn't recognize it. What does it do? Besides, obviously kill what ever target is unlucky which to find their under its fire." A long breath was exhaled and or shared blanket was tugged up so she could hide herself from the pouring eyes of the other man. "When I was you've I had a rather strong affection for the darker aspects of magic. It fascinated me quite thoroughly and I began dabbling in the creation of my own. I never entertained thoughts of using them on people, but I would practice on animals. Tango needed to eat and it saved me from having to buy all that meat. Plus it wasn't really healthy for him with everything being shot up with hormones and chemicals was they were. Or that's what I told myself anyhow. Cardibochier is the spell. It literally translates into heart butcher. I perfected it on rabbits and any other small animals Tango wanted but was too young to catch. It cleaves through the heart muscle, instantly killing its victim. I'm not proud of killing someone, but I am proud that I managed to create the spells I have. There are several others, Fulgur Espada translating into lightening blade being the only other capable of killing. Granted it was never intended to do so. Quite the opposite in fact as I developed it as healing spell before I managed to perfect Altum Sanitatem, meaning deep healing and Ezabatu Exterior objeto, meaning to remove foreign objects. I used them when you put your hand through my coffee table." A hint of annoyance crossed her face and I smoothed down her hair until it vanished. "How is it that a healing spell can be utilized to do the very thing it is designed to prevent?" Warm breath tickled my cheek was she sat up, but only a bit since the blanket was our only cover. "I intended it as a way to cauterize flesh so if someone ended up getting shot they didn't bleed to death. Crude as it was, it was effective in controlled doses though highly unpleasant to the recipient. It is the simplest of all my spells surprisingly. The most difficult would probably be Expecto potens sepio, Awaiting a powerful guard. Which is a shield that mirrors the Patronus in its corporal form while deflecting any and all attacks, magic or other wise. It takes immense concentration maintain and can become quite taxing. I spent well over half a year in its development alone, not counting the time it took me to reign enough control over my habitually scattered mind in order to cast it correctly. That is by far the spell that I am most proud of. Would you like to see it?" She looked excited and chuckled. "Of course. Your company may not take so who to it though." Like that her green eyes began fading to blue. "Yes... I honestly forgot he was here." I couldn't help but laugh as I petted her hair. "I really wish you hadn't seen that David." He tipped his head to the side, watching her closely. "If you intend to wipe my memory its going to have to be back to 3 months ago. As well as everyone else. We've all seen that video Samantha and its been destroyed." His hands were held out and she visably deflated. "Damn it David... You can not tell anyone! If the ministry were to find out they would not care if they had to obliviate 3 years worth of memories! All of you should have left well enough alone! Performing magic in the muggle world is forbidden and I could end in jail for saving your asses!" He held his hands up as if to fend her off until she slumped back against me. "No one outside the team has seen that footage and it was destroyed. I watched Derek burn the tape myself. We're, I'm just worried for you because of how you left. I have tried giving you space, we all have but it's clearly not working and I need to know that you're OK after killing that guy." For a long few minutes Samantha just watched him before finally sitting up, tugging the blanket around her chest. I sucked in a sharp breath as she did so, my cock quickly hardening inside her as she slid fully down onto me. A small whimper escaped from her and what had quickly become my favorite color edged into her eyes. "This is going to have to be a quick visit unless you'd prefer to watch while we fuck." David pulled a face. "Or you could go to the bedroom." "Oh no. The leather couch wipes off much easier and I don't feel like getting blood on my mattress. This is my house, I'm horny and I will have sex on any surface I wish no matter who is watching. Frankly I just don't give a shit right now. When you start having a period then maybe you can have a say, until then, imma be right here." I snorted a laugh, reaching under the blanket to run her legs. "It would be best you head upstairs. She'll be more ready to speak with you in a few days after she's finished her cycle and can remain awake for longer than 15 minutes between orgasms." Sam nodded sharply and David blew out a sigh before rebound as requested so we could continue once more...

Samantha POV: My legs wobbled as I landed on them once more and quickly found my weight to much to hold as pain lanced through my middle. I gasped as I heavily onto the floor, the remains of our lust tickling down my thighs, still well but quickly cooling in the air. Severus jolted up on the couch, quickly picking me up to fuss over. "What happened?!" I groaned, cuddling closer to him. "I really need to pee but I can't walk. My legs are so damn weak and my belly is so sore... Remind me again why we needed to have sex practically an entire week with only small breaks for food?" He offered a sympathetic smile, wrapping my blanket snugly around me. "Because I could not keep you off of me and you cried if I told you no. You were warned about the discomfort to come. I cautioned youth against it many times and yet you-" My hand covered his mouth, muffling his words was I groaned out my discontentment. "That was a rhetorical question Severus. I'm in mood for I told you so's. I hurt so bad..." A truly pathetic whimper escaped from me and he petted my back. "It would be wonder. Birch and Valerian can take the edge off but you're going to need something stronger than that to clear up the pain this time." My hands came up to shield my eyes from the far to bring sunlight filtering through the window. "You look as though you may as well be a vampire the way you squirm in the sun. Come, I'll see if I can find you something to ease your discomfort then we'll, and have breakfast. I wasn't no fuss from you for the next 3 days either. Your body needs time to heal after the strain it was placed under." I keened into his chest watching him pittfully. "Oh Severus... Sex is about the farthest thing from my mind right now. I just want food and to feel better..." He sighed, lifting me a bit higher as David came into view. "Are you OK? You look like you're in pain." Severus snorted. "That would be correct. After insisting on engaging in intercourse for nearly an entire week pain is to be expected. She will perhaps remember this next time and listen when I tell her she needs to take a break." I grumbled up at him, biting his chest lightly, making him laugh at me. "We all get it Severus! You were right! Now stop~! I am in pain and the next time I bite you, you won't be laughing!" A soft chuckle joined my irritated snap and he kissed the top of my head, petting through my hair as I was carried into the kitchen. "What is the strongest pain reliever that you have here currently Maria?" Tom got up before she could answer, heading to a cup board. "I still have Vicodin from when Jess attacked me. Keep an eye on her though. I stopped taking them because they made me confused and dizzy." The bottle was shaken lightly before he tossed it to me. "Thank you Tom." Samantha said was I set her onto the counter ignoring the dismayed looks from the other occupants when the blanket uncovered my hips. Marie kept stealing red faced glancing downward and Tom gave her the most appalled look I'd ever seen. "You too?!" She snapped her eyes away, quickly drying her hands on the dish towel. "Si senor Thomas, a woman can still look." He groaned loudly, head falling backwards as I broke one of the pills half and filled a glass with water before setting the slightly smaller half under Sam's tongue. "Drink all of this. We're both likely to be rather dehydrated after this past week." Tom snapped a light glare at me. "Yeah before all your bodily fluids area covering the floor! Never in my life have met anyone that has had sex as much as you two! I don't even know you're alive!" Samantha grumbled after downing her glass. "Hey you had your chance! I begged you to have sex with me and you locked yourself in your room like I tried to rape you! I don't want to hear anything from you! Go find a girlfriend because I am quite happy with my current treatment." I chuckled, leaning forward to kiss her softly. "Come on, you don't need to be getting upset, tensing up will only cause you more pain. I'll help you to wash up then we'll get breakfast." The hair hanging in her face was quickly cleared away and I pulled her closer, kissing her head. She slumped forward into me, winding her arms around my neck and I lifted her from her perch once more, having to get washed up and dressed for the first time in a week...

I sighed as Severus petted over my back after having just settled us back onto the couch that was remarkably clean considering the last week. Tango was flopped it waiting for us and I wiggled until Severus set me onto his back. A rough tongue pulled my hair back firmly as he licked me and I scratched behind his ears. "Did Maria clean up in here?" He purred loudly, tail flicking up to tickle my legs. *No, I did. That potion he was working on does its job quite well and I'm very partial to smooth mint flavor. It gave to his fluids.* I pulled a face and he rolled his eyes. *What is the difference between you swallowing it and me cleaning after you?* He had me there. "Well, nothing I guess but I surely wouldn't go out of my way just to drink a cup of cum no matter how good the potion made it taste. Especially once it's cold. Guess that just because animals have no concept of gross. I thank you anyhow, in saving Maria from that clean up." He nodded and Severus looked confused and a little disgusted. "Do I even want to know?" I giggled, sitting up only to slump right back down when an expected wave of dizziness took hold of me. "Are you well?" Severus picked me up and I whimpered, grasping frantically at anything that would ground me as my world tipped and spun around me. "Samantha!?" Hands petted quickly over my back and I squeezed my eyes tightly shirt against the dizziness for all the good it did. For what felt like an hour I just clung there to him like a barnacle until the room finally stopped spinning around me. "I'm OK now Sev... Jay got really fucking dizzy! Fucking hell, I'm glad you only gave me half of that pill. The whole thing may well have killed me!" He looked relieved when I finally looked up at him and I could see just how worried he'd been. "I'm OK, honest I am." A deep breath was blown out and his heart thumped heavily against mine, no doubt There'd be a light red mark when he moved it. "Next time it'll be less. I'll half it again and see how you feel after that." I sighed, taking my head out from under his to kiss his cheek lightly . "I'm feeling no pain now at all, so if you half it again there be minor discomfort but the tea you make should alleviate any remaining pain. Next time, don't let me do that to myself. Please." Overly warm fingers petted back my hair. "I shall place you in a chastity belt and you'll get nothing from me." His lips tugged into a smirk as I pushed his chest. "I'll still need attention. Just not constantly. Quite literally, your dick could not have spent more than 6 consecutive hours outside of me, during the entirety of the week. I just get so needy when I'm on my cycle..." Severus hummed softly, fingers tickling against my ear before he pulled me into a kiss far less heated then the ones we'd shared for the week prior. "I'll ensure that you'll not find yourself in such discomfort again." My head bobbed, brushing his fingers through my damp hair as I did so. "So. Now that you're both finally more talkative, would care to explain everything?" David asked, taking a seat in the chair across from us, his hands upturned as his elbows rested on his knees, leaning forward. A deep sigh whoshed out but I knew I was already outed so there was little punt in hiding now. "After you get everyone else here. I don't much feel like explaining 4 or 5 times." He inclined his head, pulling out his phone to make the call as I leaned back into Severus's warm comfort to catch a bit more sleep...

When I woke again it was to hushed chatter and the feeling of being surrounded. Someone was petting my back well but I was quoted certain that Severus. "How long have I been sleeping?" He hummed softly, combing back my sleep rumpled hair when I sat up. "Just about 2 hours though they've been here for several minutes." A deep sigh was blown out before I yawned widely, stretching as long as I could before curling back into a ball. "David said that you were ready to tell us about what's been going on now. You saved my life baby girl." My eyes shifted to Derek as he spoke. "Look, no one outside this house can know. You were never meant to know and I could get in a lot of trouble for exposing this to you! I am a witch and magic is very much real but it's been hidden away from those unable to perform it because of human ignorance. Through out the dark ages we were huntedbecause we were different and it cost not just us but many muggles their lives as well because they were mistaken for witches or wizards. Sanctions waste put in places that forbade muggles, non magic humans, from knowing of our world. There are still many out there, that because of their misplaced beliefs in deities and their own ignorant fear, that would seek to destroy us. I never intended to tell you and had I noticed the camera you wouldn't know still. I will not tell you about anyone but myself or anything of the magic community that does not strictly apply to what has transpired between you and myself. You may ask anything you like but I can't garentte you an answer." Spencer sat up in his seat, hands wringing lightly in nervousness. "I've been having this dream, about being in an explosion. In the dream you were there with me and Rossi just before the bomb went off and I just remember seeing this really big pale blue cat. The explosion couldn't touch us. That was a memory, and not a dream. Isn't it?" I sighed, whistling loudly. "Vaulkx!!" He skidded into the room a second later taking a leap at me as he shifted back into a wand. "Expecto potens sepio." My shield appeared and Severus sat forward, interest pulsing thickly from him. "That is quite the feat for someone was young as yourself. Clearly I've underestimated you." His praise made me feel younger than I had in quite some time and I couldn't help but grin madly when he dropped a hand on my head. "It took a lot of work, but it was well worth the effort. I'm quite sure you'd be much better at casting it than I am because you can focus much easier." The spell was vanished and I dropped Vaulkx, letting him take his preferred form when not in use once more. "Any other wand can not transfigure as Vaulkx can. He is only able to do so because of my mental abilities, all wands carry some level if sentinents and he was able to draw on my energy in much the same way my animals are capable. My telepathic abilities, to my knowledge aren't linked to my magic and by such aren't under the same constraints as spells. Next." David watched me for a long moment. "The scar on my leg, I can only assume it came from the spell that you told Severus about a few days ago. Fulgur Espada. I'm more courious about how it is you always seem to show up just in the knick of time." So was everyone else by the way they leaned forward. "I can tell when someone I'm close with is in danger. I'm not sure how I know, I just do and I'm same to aparate to people as others are places, that's a teleportation spell. I normally don't get much notice, a minute is the most I've gotten so far and that was durning the explosion. I get small premonitions of the evening just before it happens so I know what I'm facing, but the timing is a bit of a guess. Sometimes I get there just was its happening like you and Derek when he was shot. Other times a I get a few seconds notice like when I shoved Aaron out getting run over by that truck. Most of you should be dead." Aaron sat forward in his seat, watching me closely. "I think I speak for us all when I say we're very greatfull for your intervention. We were worried about you after killing the UNSUB that almost succeed in murdering Morgan. Taking a life is never easy but the first time is always the hardest. We tried to give you space but after this long David decided to come talk with you." I sighed, looking at all of them. "I appreciate your concern. I don't know that I'm ready to assist you again though. Killing that man, however nessasary weighed far heavier on me than I thought it would..." Derek stood up, making his way over to hold my hand. "We have all been through that Samantha, except penylopy. That's because she's not in the field. I know you weren't supposed to be either, but I'm very glad you were. You saved my life, and probably several others as well because I'm sure he would have been waiting for them when they came to check on me. Anyone of us would have done the same thing." Several nods circled the small group and it offered some measure of comfort to have my choice validated. "Thank you. I still don't know that I'm ready just yet but having your support, not only in, ending a life, but also being different helps a lot. If you're not needed on a case, you may as well stay a while. I have plenty of room as you can see and I'm quite sure Maria won't mind making up the beds." Spencer nodded quickly, moving over to hug me only to jump when Tango looped into the room, roaring loudly. *That's right tiny humans! Be afraid! Be very afraid! I shall eat you if you touch her in a manor I see unfit!* They skittered back was he hopped onto the couch, showing off his teeth and claws as I shook my head. "You really have a liger?! I thought you were just bluffing!" Derek exclaimed, placing several yards between us. "I don't bluff when it comes to my babies. He won't hurt you. He's just upset because he doesn't like me having sex and he thinks that just because I had relations with Tom and Severus. That now every male that enters through that door must be fucking me. Also, he says he'll eat you if you though me if you try anything. Not JJ, Emily or Penelope, he likes women, just you men. He's been spending to much time around Jess." My fingers combed through his mane and he purred loudly, massive head falling into my lap as he nuzzled up my shirt so he could lick my belly. It actually felt quite nice and I leaned onto it. Severus must have noticed because he began rubbing over my sides. "I didn't know got liked your stomach petted." I hummed lightly and Tango pulled back, leading Severus take up rubbing. "You do now. Especially when I'm not feeling well. I'm not in pain at the moment but I am still very exhausted." He chuckled, pulling back my hair to kiss my neck. "After this past week it would be no wonder. I'll have to work at putting something together to dampen your sex drive before you start your next cycle." I sighed under his attention, eyes fluttering closed as I enjoyed my pets. "So you finally found a boyfriend huh?" The question promoted my eyes open once more to reguard Derek. "Not exactly. It's complicated. I love him but he has been through a lot and isn't sure of his feelings. But we have sex. A lot." Tom snorted loudly from the door way. "That is an understatement. They're like animals! You'll probably get pregnant just by sitting on the couch." I pulled a face, glaring over at him. "Tom, what's that thing you're doing with your lips?" His eyes narrowed. "I'm courious because last time I checked they shouldn't be moving unless I'm sitting on your face. Besides, I lysoled the couch, and Tango licked all the little cum critters off of it." Tom cringed, setting aside the sandwich he'd been eating. "And I'm officially done." I rolled my eyes. "Its really not bad. The potion he created made it taste like mint chocolate chip ice cream." Severus rubbed a bit more firmly. "So I did finally manage to perfect it. Your lack of response had led me to believe it needed work yet." My head shook quickly. "Nope! The sweet dick works just perfectly!" He chuckled softly, kissing my neck softly as his tongue darted of to taste my skin. "Do you think it'd work the same for you if I took it?" His lips paused against my throat. "I see no reason why you should be taking it. I quite enjoy your taste as it is now." My face flushed with heat and Severus chuckled against my ear. "You are not helping! You're getting me worked up and I know I'm going hurt later!" A few soft kisses found my neck. "My appologies. The pain will fade within a few days but you need to let your body rest for a while before you begin having sex again." Warm fingers petted firmly over my belly. "I know... I did over do it. It's not my fault though! I just get so needy when I'm on my period and it was exciting to have someone that would actually help me, instead of locking themselves in a room! Tom!" I stuck my tongue out at him and he huffed. "I do not like to see blood, much less have it on me!" Severus covered my mouth, and I tipped my head back, tongue returning to my mouth. "Tom's likes and dislikes are hardly relevant to you any longer, wouldn't you agree?" Our eyes meet and a soft smile tugged up my lips and I spun around in his lap, pressing my belly into his to soak up his warmth. "Yeah. I can still be annoyed at him though." He chuckled, clearing back my hair as he held me snugly against him. "You're tired. If you wish you may speak more with her after she's rested. For now she needs to sleep." I gasped as he stood suddenly. His arm slid smoothly under my butt and I blew out a long sigh, relaxing into him once more. He felt quite pleased at how easy I calmed down and petted down my hair. "Its good to see you're finally starting to become more at ease with being carried." His blanket was picked from the back of the couch and tucked snugly around my shoulders for me to bury my face into. *Shhh, not now Severus. You are the only one that knows but they are far too perceptive not to catch on. Please Severus, I really don't want anyone else to know.* Eyes burnt hotly onto the top of my head. *As you wish Samantha. I will keep your secret as if it were my own.* His warm comfort felt so good and I melted against him. *Thank you Severus... I'm so tired...* He hummed, rubbing my back firmly as he carried me up the steps to bed...

Severus POV: I sighed, waking once more to the feeling of being watched. Bright green eyes came into focus watching me intently and I chuckled, reaching up to tangle my fingers in Samantha's hair to pull her into a kiss. She mewed softly against my lips, soft tongue darting out to twin with mine for several seconds before she pulled back to look at me. "Waking up to seeing you has become my favorite part of everyday." The green paled slightly and she snuggled down into me, pulling up my fingers to kiss lightly. "Me too Severus... I love you. You don't have to say it back until you're ready, I just want you to know how I feel." 3 words hardly seemed worth this much trouble but I just couldn't seem to return them in the same manor they were given. "You are the most important person in my life Samantha and I would do anything to keep you safe. But I do not know that it could ever be more than that. I'm sorry..." Exasperated pale eyes meet mine with small amount of amusement. "Oh Sev. It already is so much more than that. You're just scared to realize it because you feel as though it's a betrayal to Lily. You forget I know your feelings. It is ok though, I just need you to know." A soft kiss was pressed to my cheek and I hugged her tightly. "You really are an amazing woman Samantha. I wish I could see myself in the same way you do. It feels so good to be loved and I count myself extraordinarily lucky to have found your favor." The hair was brushed back from her eyes and she nuzzled closer. There was something in her eyes, something that seemed out of place even though they were still green. Apprehension I realized, and it didn't sit right that she was trying to hide it. This was the first time she'd covered over her emotions from me. "What's wrong Samantha?" A small wince crossed her face so quick I nearly missed it. "Samantha? Tell me what happened." She swallowed thickly, squeezing my hand tightly. "Nothing Severus. Everything is fine. I love you." My stomach felt really cold despite the fact I was several degrees warmer than her. My hand left her's, snatching her chin to bring her eyes back to mine. "Don't, lie~, to me." Blue quickly filled her formally green eyes and the fear I saw in then made mine widen. "Someone hurt you...!" She shook her head quickly, leaning forward to kiss all over my face. "No Severus. No one hurt me. It's ok, everything is ok!" Why did it sound like she was trying to convince herself of that? "Samantha tell me what is wrong!" A shudder ran through her, fearful blue eyes upturning to meet mine and my breath caught. "Please don't make me. Please Severus. I don't want you to worry, I just want to be with you. I beg of you, just let me love you and stop asking questions." Her fingers trembled against my chest and it felt as though I couldn't breath as tears trickled down her face. "You are scaring me!" Her head shook rapidly as she pulled my arms around her herself. "No Severus! It's ok, it's ok! Don't be scared, that's the last thing I want. Please, just try to relax. I'm here now..." Her soft hand laid against my cheek, petting firmly. Panic ran just below the surface and I bit back my grief. "Just close your eyes Severus, please. I love you. I love you so much and don't you ever forget that! You have made me happier in that last few months than I was in my whole life and that means more to me than I can ever put into words! Thank you Severus, thank you for everything!" I grabbed her arms firmly but she refused budge from where she was wrapped tightly around me. "Tell me what's going on! It can not possibly be worse than what is running through my mind right now! Samantha!" The door opened smoothly and I snarled at David as he made his way over even though my glare would have normally sent him skittering away. "What are you doing back here?! Get out!!" The edges of his lips upturned into a sad smile. "Its OK little lady. It's going to be over real soon." A blade flashed into his hands and he sank it deep into her armpit before I could stop him. My wand was snapped in half before I could grab it and he danced out of my way. "Please don't hurt him! I didn't fight! I don't know why you're doing this but please not him!" She begged, holding her heavily bleeding wound. I lunged at him but the human in front of me flickered away leaving something made of metal in its place. "Ya can't hurt meh. Best say yer goodbyes, she's only got a few minutes." My stomach knotted inside me in the icy chill of fear. "Please! Why are you doing this!?" It tipped its head to the side, looking passed me to Samantha and I turned as well when she hit the floor. "Severus... Please..." I rushed to her side gathering her up into my arms, trying desperately to cover her bleeding. She'd lost so much already and my fingers trembled against her. "You must fight! I'll get you out of here!" A firm hand caught my shoulder and I tried to jerk out from under it. "Yer not going anywhere. Ya aparate away ahm gone with ya and ah'll kill anyone ya seek help from." Samantha grabbed my hand. "Please Severus! You must let me go! I love you! I love you! But you must not let my life be the cost of others! Please... I don't want to die alone..." Deep fearful blue eyes burnt themselves into my memories and my chest heaved on a scream. This couldn't be happening to me again! "Samantha please! You must hold on! I beg of you! I beg of you!! Please don't leave me!! I love you! I love you!!" Small soft fingers held me just as tightly she was able and I screamed, rocking her. "I'm so sorry Severus! I'm so so sorry!! I can't let you be hurt for me though! If I die he'll leave you be!" "I do not wish to live without you! Samantha please! You're right! I love you!! I love you and I can't bare to lose you as well! Hold on! Please hold on!!" My throat felt horse from screaming but I couldn't stop. She touched my face and I caught her fingers, kissing them frantically. "I can't!... I'm so tired Severus..." Her eyes fluttered closed and I shook her until they opened again. Her chest heaved for breath as blood poured from under my hand like an open faucet. There was so much and I couldn't make it stop! Samantha moaned softly, pulling herself up to lean heavily against me. "Severus..." One arm looped around my neck and my chest jumped with a surpressed scream before our eyes met once more. This time they were green though, and not by force. There was an overwhelming contentment written over her soft features that seemed so out of place for what was happening. "It feels really good... I'm not scared anymore. I don't understand what's happening, but I feel better than I ever have before..." My breath hitched and I petted her sleep matted hair, pressing my cheek firmly against her hear. "Don't go to sleep! Please!! I love you and I need you!" Her throat tightened in a dry swallow and the thing that was talking her life sighed. "Its almost over. She won't last long now." I lashed out at him but just as before it had no effect and he remained holding me in place. "Please don't hurt him... I haven't fought. Please let my death be the only one..." It inclined its head and I sobbed, tears streaking down my face as I held her tighter. "Silence! I will not continue to live once you pass! I can't go back to the way things were! You can not so much as ask that of me!" Her eyes widened slightly, struggling to even squeeze my hand and I kissed her face, covering every inch. "You can't..." Her voice sounded so tried and she finally lost the battle at keeping her eyes open. "Its OK... I'll be there with you. Just-! Go to sleep! I'll be there real soon and I'll never leave your side!" She bit her lip but I plucked it away, smoothing kisses over them until her pulse ceased its frantic thumping under my fingers and her frame went lax. One hand covered my mouth and I turned my eyes toward the thing that had taken her from me. "I beg of you! You have taken the only thing I care for! Please! Kill me as well!" It looked quite shocked, hand lifting from my shoulder to take several steps back. Samantha's body was shifted and I dropped to my knees in front of it, bearing my throat. "Lil lady, just what have ya done to this guy?" My fist clenched and I yanked the bedside table from its place, slamming it into the metal monster. It fell down and remained on its knees watching me. "For what's its worth. Ahm sorry about this. Isn't something ah enjoy either." Rage consumed me entirely. "Then why do it!!? Why take away the only thing I love!!?" A hand fell onto my shoulder suddenly and I jerked upward, grabbing who every dared to touch me by the throat. Only to see Samantha watching me quite sadly. My hand fell but didn't let go as I yanked her down into my arms, body forgotten. "I am so so sorry I have done this to you Severus! I can't even imagine how badly I've hurt you! It's ok now though, I'm not leaving you! I'm staying here and everything is going to be ok. Look at me... Severus, look at me." She prompted when I wasn't fast enough. "I know you don't understand but I will explain everything in time. For right now you just need to know that I'm not going anywhere. I am so sorry." Kisses were peppered over my face and cheeks as I worked at getting myself calmed down once more. "I don't know how you plan to stay, but I would do anything you needed of me to it true!" Hands smoothed down my hair as she held me just as I tightly as I was her. "I'm not like anyone you're likely to have met before Severus. I'm Malinga, it's a term I burrowed from another race quite some time back. My soul is capable of existing in this rhelm and for a short time acting near indestingishable from anyone else. There's far to much to explain right now and you're far to worked up to hear it at this moment anyhow." Our eyes met and I finally released my hold on her side to brush my fingers down her cheek. "Swear it that you shall not leave!" She nodded, catchingmy hand to kiss firmly several times. "I will not leave you Severus. I swear it... This is a mess. Clearly I should have looked more closely at my life before ordering its termination. I do appreciate your willingness to help Jazz, I just never expected to find an imprint on this vacation. Come to bed Severus. You'll be much more comfortable." She tugged at me and I lifted her into my arms, holding her tightly as I sank heavily onto the bed...

Pale blue green eyes watched me intently and I was honestly terrified to let her go for fear sagged vanish. "I'm not leaving you Severus. You're my imprint..." Warm fingers were pressed against my cheek and I held them there firmly. "What is that thing that killed you?" A soft smile crossed her face. "He is my child from a few past lives. He's been born to me 3 times now. We are immortals and he could not kill me, such words hold no weight with us. Merely, he decommissioned the vessel I was using at my request. I had not realized that you would be with me at the time I asked him though and I very much regret causing you so much upset. Had I gotten my memories in time I would have called him off. So please, do not blame Jazz for what I have caused." My entire frame shuddered and I clutched her more tightly to me. "Why did hot need to leave your body?..." She sighed, leaning forward to kiss me. "Well, this life was only meant as a vacation. After the shit storm his brothers released onto the world I placed them in charge of I of course had to clean it up. Utter caos, I spent 40 years reordering their fuck ups! After that I decided I had earned a vacation where I didn't have to do anything. I told Jazz to give me 25 to 30 years before extinguishing this vessel. I just didn't figure on you. You Severus, are a very happy accident and are one of very few things that could keep me from moving on as I would have other wise." A warm smile played her lips and it helped in no small part to calm me down. "Not that I'm not glad, but what makes me so special?" She kissed me softly, fingers tangling in my hair. "You're my imprint." That word seemed to be point up a lot but I was no closer to knowing what it meant now than the first time. "It means that our souls share the same frequency." My eyes widened, throat tightening on a dry swallow. "You're my soulmate..." A sort of discontent crossed her face as she shook her head. "That is such a over used washed out human term that is nearly offensive to immortals such as us. Humans always think they've found their soul mate when they love another. In reality there is such thing a soulmate. The idea that you have found that one other person that you were designed for is complete foolishness. No, an imprint is not you other half, nor do you only have one. However, finding them is the hard part and is a rare treat even to immortals. You are by far more special to me than an ordinary imprint because of your disposition. Granted the choice is completely up to you, but I believe you would do quite well as a Malinga. Few share the same strength if will that you possess Severus and I would greatly enjoy spending just as much time you're willing to give me together." My eyes widened, just watching her. "You're going to make me immortal?!" A hint of nervousness flickered onto her face and it didn't sit right. "Well, no... I actually already have... It is not something I do lightly and had I remembered it would not have happened without your permission. Because of our proximity and my lack of memories, my soul reached out and bonded to yours without my knowledge up until just a few minutes ago." Why was it she looked so worried, was if I may be angry over her gift. I caught her cheek and she leaned heavily into it. "Samantha, nothing could make me happier than getting to spend my life with you. I only wished for death because I couldn't have you here and after thing! I could not bare to have the only good thing in my life taken away again! I am so sorry it took this for me to tell you just how much I love you. Just know that I would do anything to be with you." Her face softened as she petted mine. "Severus, you don't have to choose the same path as me just to be with me. I'm quite well aware that leaving behind your family and friends from each life is incredibly hard and you have given enough. At least for now. Perhaps later you may decide to assist me but for now my only concern is you. Ok?" For several moments the only sound that passed between us was my rough breathing. "Yes... Thank you." She smiled softly, pushing at my lips until they formed a forced one. "What about a vessel? You said your soul could only function for so long without one. What happens without it?" She hummed lightly. "It behind quite difficult to retain tangibility, but that is all. I have friends however, that are capable of growing vessels with just a sample of DNA. They could clone my expired vessel. Yours as well, before it expires. What are you now? 87?" I tried to act annoyed but failure terribly. I was just so glad that she was still with me. "Don't make me punish you." She giggled as I tickled her sides before kissing her deeply. "That would be very hard to do right now considering remaining tangible takes a great deal of concentration. Concentration I can't keep while experiencing pleasure. That can be fixed though. Being immortal comes with the perk of meeting many friends. My once sire can reanimate this vessel until it's been properly replaced. I have to go see him and collect Nessicotsu anyhow. She is my only other imprint, coming in form of a soul blade that I took possession of around 3000 years ago. You could come if you wished." I drew a still slightly shaky breath, glancing at the body she had inhabited. "Then you shall explain everything." She nodded quickly. "Then I will explain. It's just too much to take in while you were stressed as you were. I am very sorry I did that to you Severus. I didn't see you though when I requested my vessel be decommissioned. I only knew a few moments before it would happen because of a premonition and Jazz's ability to communicate through our bond. He told me what he planned to do and used you was leverage to ensure I wouldn't struggle. It may sound quite cruel but it was effective and kept me from running off before he could fill the request. It would gave been far more difficult had he left me escape to hide in fear until he finally caught me." It was still a struggle to see that thing as a person after what it had done. But, I reasoned many probably felt the same about need when I killed Dumbledore. "I am only glad that you are with me still. I love you." The edges of her lips tugged into a sad smile. "I know Severus, and I'm so sorry that you couldn't have realized under better circumstances. Come, best to get things taken care of so can both relax."...

Samantha POV: Severus shifted somewhat nervously next to me as we tellaported into my former fathers house to find him sprawled out in only his boxer shorts. A book was draped over his face and I chuckled stepping over to keep and foldmy arms against his chest so I could watch him. His breathing slowed to almost a stop after only a few seconds and I could feel confusion licking thickly from his immensely powerful aura. Finally he lifted the book to look at me, silver brows knitting with each other. "Do I know you? How have you gotten into my house?" I smirked. "Aww, well if that you feel I'll just go then. And here's I thought you'd be happy to see your pup." I said, making it as far as my feet before he had me all wrapped up against him. "Puppy fluffers!!" He exclaimed loudly, spinning me in a circle before holding me out to examine. "Hi daddy. I missed you too." We plopped down into the couch once more and he was already petting over me I sagged into the attention. Weight settled into my chest suddenly and I shivered Nessi merged into my soul, thrumming her pleasure at finally being reunited with me. *I have missed you very much! It is so good to have you back!* Her agreement was shoved back at me and I laughed even though it wasn't really funny, it just felt so good. "I see you've brought along your vessel. I'll seal you back within then you may join me lunch!" Nessi grumbled at being called away so soon but answered his request none the less as I lay in my exsanguinated body. Nessi swept through my frame without effort and I gasped filling my lungs over more with air as she remerged into me, my body becoming home to her as well. Severus knelt, pulling me up firmly to learn against him I caught my breath once more. "Are you OK?" Strong hands smoothed over my hair sweeping it from my eyes as he held me. "I'm OK Sev. I promise." Finally the last of his worried apprehension faded away and he picked up, standing to his full height once more. "Your blade is capable of beginning back people from the dead..." My head bobbed sharply. "Providing I have a empty vessel and the soul of who ever I'm trying to resurrect. Nessicotsu is an immensely powerful blade when wielded correctly by the right person. Being a holy blade she is very particular about who she will perform for and had I not been hey imprint she likely would not have chosen me. My willingness to sacrifice a few lives for the good of many clashes heavily with her will to protect and preserve all life. But in her time with me it had eased and she's had come to understand that I can not save everyone. No matter how much I wish it were so. She has been with me for hundreds of years and or bonds had been well forged in that time allowing us to work seamlessly with each other. It took a lot of work to get to where are now but it was well worth it. I wield several other blades as well Havana, Kimoriaba, their 2 kits Hiyuki and Migoriomaru, and of course Sounga. The last rivals Nessicotsu is shear power and is probably the only blade capable of being her match. He has perhaps influenced me as much as I have him durning our period of bonding. You are never to touch him Severus, not unless I great permission before hand. He would utterly consume you to the point you knew not who you were and your only wish would be to slaughter anyone who came into your path. Sounga is devastatingly powerful and extraordinary volatile in his own right without a proper wielder and while I have reached an tentative understanding, you will be granted no such respect." He nodded slowly and I held out my hand to the board mounted into the wall. He trembled against his constraints for only a moment before breaking free, pulsing a thick deadly aura as he landed in my hand. Severus eyes widened, placing several paces between us as he watched Sounga nervously. My mind reached out to the blade and he latched onto me testing my defenses even after this long and I knew any show of weakness would initiate a challenge. I held firm against his prodding though and he finally backed off. "Here." A sash was tied around my waist by my father and the volatile blade was tucked into it. "Any of the other blades you wish to try wield, you have my permission, though you should exercise causation with Hiyuki. She gets quite excited, especially after being left alone for long periods of time. Her excitable nature makes her difficult to properly wield, especially in situations of urgency where my mind can become quite scattered. I think perhaps you would made a decent wielder. Even human your magic is strong and there's should be no reason you can not channel it through her you would a wand they are mostly the same thing after all. The most notable exception being that soul blades, at least the more powerful among them, carry a much higher sentience. Their physical attributes also vary quite widely from your wand, but most all soul blades can transform themselves school she could look and act as your wand since Jazz snapped it in half." He looked quite curious and inclined his head. "I believe I'd like to attempt to wield her. Will you OK with Sounga? I'm quite sure that what ever you were previously, was much stronger than this human form." I nodded sharply. "Yes. I will not deny that I'm significant weaker than before but he also knows that my will has not wavered and no matter the strength if this form he knows that I am fully capable of extinguishing this body to reclaim control of him. He is by far more complacent with me than anyone else. Except perhaps my father." There was still a lot of worry leaking from him but my father waved him off. "My pup is far from weak and it's quite capable of handling herself and Sounga. If she were not she would not carry him. Now, I'm quite sure you don't plan to remain in this human vessel and I would very much enjoy having you back." Toga looked so hopeful and I felt bad for having to deny him. "Unfortunately, that is still not yet an option. Severus is my imprint and he needs my attention for the foreseeable further. However, I do have friends capable of growing vessels and your genetics would fit very well with Severus. It will give him an extra edge and I've always enjoyed having a mate stronger than myself. A bit of transfluid added into the building blocks from the very beginning will give our news vessels an extra boost of integrity and stop the aging process from what I've seen. It heals damage almost instantly and allows for transfiguration into near anything meaning I don't have to give up the life I've built. Jazz can see to it about scrubbing ages every 10 to 15 years and we should be set for however long you need my attention for." My eyes flicked back Severus and he kissed the top of my head. "I hope you are in no great hurry because I plan to keep you just long as you'll let me. I do have something to ask of you though. The lives that were lost because of me. Would it be possible that I might give them a second chance?" Honestly the question threw me and it must have shown. "I have caused much pain to others and I wish to atone for it. Please." A heavy sigh was blown out. "Severus, while I will in no way dissuade youth from those goals, I must press upon you the importance of letting go of mistakes and failures. What happened to tried people, while indirectly caused by you, was not your doing and clinging to that can bring no good. There is as much sorrow in the lives we will lead as there will be joy and if you hold to the hard times you will always second guess the choices you make and that could well cost many lives. I will allow your endeavors because you are young, but in time you must except the fate of those around you. Come." Nessi formed in my hands and I cleaved through the air making Severus watch me widely. "How... Is that?..." "She carries the power of life and death within her and is fully capable of opening a portal to the after life. Show me who you're looking for, it must be a strong memory in order for me to find them, also one at a time obviously." He nodded quickly and a very pretty young girl flickered in my mind before I teleported us to her...

Severus POV: For all these years if have given anything to be able to speak with her even for a minute but now all words fled from me and I choked on a breath. She was looking out over a shimmering silver lake and I swallowed thickly, looking down at Samantha when she nudged me. "Oh great! You're here!" Someone bumped my shoulder roughly and Sam growled lowly at who I now saw was James. "How'd you get yourself killed?" Lily turned sharply, watching me wide eyed. "Watch your mouth! We are not dead and it was his wish to offer you another chance at life so if I were you I'd watch what I say." James glared between us. "Oh! How nice I of him after he set that bastard on us in the first place!" A ringing slap sounded before he was on the ground clutching at his throat and the angry red makes carving themselves into his skin. "Perhaps you did not hear me correctly~! You confuse my tolerance of your pathetic soul~ for weakness! And that, is, a mistake~ you'd do best, not, to make, twice!" He scrambled away from her after several seconds longer and looked quite terrified. "Samantha, that really isn't necessary. I was well aware that there's would be more than a small amount of anger directed at me. Your concern is missed placed." A low rumbling growl vibrated into me from her was I lifted her into my arms. "Regardless, it pisses me off when someone I care for is attacked, verbally or other wise. It is not his place to judge your actions after everything he has done. Especially since you would have been in the position you were had it not for him and his friends." A questioning look was shot her way and she huffed, crossing her arms. "I am able, once I'm awake, to explore the past present and future of those around me and the constant bullying was what sent you to Voldemort in the first place. Had this twat backed off and been a decent fucking human being! Your life would have turned out far differently. He is the reason you were able to give that prophecy to Voldemort and bring about their death." James pulled back, looking quite shocked. "Me?! You can't blame for that! " "Bitch I just did! Shut your fucking face because I'm the one with the power to reincarnate you! And trust me! If it wouldn't be for it being Severus request I wouldn't! Loathsome little creature!" Samantha snapped and I pulled her back toward me, rubbing firmly at the base of her neck until she slumped into my arms. "You're getting yourself worked up. It is around the time you should be starting your cycle t though so I'm quite sure that isn't helping with your anger. Perhaps you'd like to wait until next week?" She shook her head quickly. "No! I just wanted to get this once with so I can go to my room and be pissed off!" Her fingers tightened into my robe and I just managed to fight back my laugh. "OK. I'll try to be quick. I had planned to speak with you before hand but it seems that it will have to wait until after you've been placed in your bodies. If you want to do so , then follow me. If not I'll be back to talk at a later time when Samantha is feeling better."...

It had taken a comparatively short time considering the task I'd set us on and the small group of people I'd chosen to return life to looked quite lost as they wandered about the house. Samantha had finally reached the end of her hateful phase and had now moved on to pawing at me as I quickly brewed her calming potion. It wouldn't completely eliminate her arousal but it would dull it to manageable levels until she was back to herself. A light puff of people smoke finalist finished it and I filled a vile. "Here, drink this." She whimpered, grinding down into my lap. "I don't want that potion defraud. I want you." Lust darkened eyes caught mine before she kissed me deeply making me groan. "You know very well what happened the time before. Now drink this, because I already have, and you'll get nothing from me until you've settled." The vile was held out to her and she keened loudly before finally downing it with a pout. "Thank you, you'll feel better in a few minutes. Just relax." My fingers sought out the pressure points at the base of her neck, rubbing firmly until she melted into me. "I see you've made a friend Severus. She is quite unique in her abilities." A light smirk tugged at my lips, petting down Samantha's back. "She is truly amazing." Dumbledore sat down beside me but Tango growled loudly, yanking him back by his robes and stealing his place as the former headmaster was dropped onto the floor. His teeth were bared at me as he snuffled all over Samantha, checking her over before finally calming down. Jazz must have drugged him in order to gain access to Samantha. "She is just fine. No need for you to worry." Bright golden eyes narrowed at me but I wasn't privy to hearing what he said like Samantha was. Still, he settled quickly enough, playing light licks over het cheek. "Aww, it's ok Tans. I'm alright, promise." She caught his chin and he leaned into her, pulling her closer with a massive paw. "I know baby, but it's alright." Tango heaved a sigh, chuffing at het hair. "I know. I just found out who I really am though and I did die to do such. You're most likely smelling the people I returned to life." He nuzzled under her hands, rumbling sorrowfully as she petted him. "It's nothing like that Tans. I'm not leaving you. I've simply cone into knowledge that I didn't have before. The only thing that's really going to change is this vessel. Won't be that big a change though, just my durability and my scent will likely be adjusted as well." His eyes flicked downward to Sounga, waving him warily. "Yes I'm well aware he feels dangerous. That's because he is dangerous. He possess no threat to us though and is under my command so you need not worry. Everything is ok Tango. I promise." Her fingers ran firmly though his mane and he finally seemed to relax just a bit. "That wasn't David. It was Jazz, he was born to me 3 times previously and isn't to be bothered. I requested he end this vessel before I knew I'd find my imprint. I'm staying in this body until my new one is grown, as is Severus." His head picked up, grumbling at me. "Because I bonded our souls before I knew what I was doing. I couldn't remember and his proximity made it nearly impossible to avoid such without my memories. He's here to stay Tans." A long low rumble vibrated through him into me and I chuckled at Obvious dismay. "I take it he isn't so pleased about the earlier events as I am." Sam heaved a sigh, sinking back into me to get cuddles. "He's still a bit scared about the whole thing but he'll calm in time. You were quite distressed as well Severus." A few stands of hair were cleared from her eyes and I pulled her into a soft kiss. "That I did not deny. The mere thought of losing you nearly sends me into panic." She smiled softly as I let her pull her back and tangled our fingers. "I know Severus, but I'm not going anywhere until you're ready. Even them well still remain close and I'm sure Toga wouldn't mind helping me out until you've got your bearings and are comfortable enough to incarnate into other vessels. We don't always have to be busy at the same time and you could come find me to spend our life together. I'll warm you though, I rarely let my vessels last long, both for the fact of being so busy and also my personal obsession with death. Sounds kind of morbid, but most of my lives death is my favorite part. After the initial pain of the inflected injury the failure of my vessel actually feels quite nice. Exsanguination is my favorite way to leave my body and offers an amazing high that no drug can compete with. That is why Jazz didn't just stab me in the heart." Excitement edged into her eyes but also a bit of regret. It looked like she wanted to ask something but was afraid to. "What is it Samantha? You know I would did anything for you." My hand caught her cheek and she breathed a long sigh. "I don't want to upset you." Blue began flecking her eyes and hugged her more tightly. "What ever it is you need of me I shall give it without question." Warm fingers splayed over my cheek, petting softly. "I will not hold you to that for what I'm about to ask. To me bleeding out is not only a greatly craved mental pressure but physical as well. I often become quite aroused and once our new vessels are ready to be inhabited I'd enjoy if you were to extinguish this one while we er having sex." I drew back from her, of all the things she could have asked why was it that. "Samantha I-... To kill you... Even to allow you to claim another vessel, I-" A single warm finger pressed against my lips, silencing me. "Shh. I told you I would not hold you to it Severus. I know how hard that would on you and I'm surely not going to push you into it. It's ok, Jazz will be more at ease terminating my vessel now that I have my memories." I sighed, squeezing the hand in mine lightly as she kissed my ear. I wasn't sure what I'd do yet, but she had said our bodies wouldn't be finished until about 4 months so I had plenty of time to think it over...

Time skip

Samantha POV: I giggled quietly as fingers attacked my sides before warm lips found mine. "Morning Sev." He sighed, nuzzling into my hair to kiss me all over. "Your friend stopped by. Said our vessels are ready to be claimed." Fingers petted lightly against my cheeks before something cold was pressed to my neck. "I've given a lot of thought into what you said before and while it was rather distressing to think of killing you, I realize that it really isn't the same thing. If it pleases you to leave your frame by my hand doing what you enjoy, then I'll ensure that you're able to do such." My surprise must have shown because he kissed me. "It isn't actually ending your life after all and knowing that you are gaining gratification from the act will be enough to cover any misgivings I have." I yanked him into a tight hug, grinning widely as he held me against him. "Ok! So I was thinking maybe you could chase me around! I love to fell hunted and having you completely dominate me like that would be amazing!" Severus chuckled softly, rubbing my hair until I wiggled out from his lap. "My armpit would be the best place to sever but you'll need a wider blade so you don't miss the artery. Besides jugular it's the easiest to find and won't effect my breathing as slicing my throat would. Jazz can get you a wider blade while I catch a head start. I'll see you shortly." Severus shook his head, chuckling softly as I ran from the room... Trees rushed by in a blur of green and brown as I ran just as quickly as my legs could carry me through the woods surrounding my home. My foot caught a log and I stumbled, landing heavily on my elbows as someone chuckled behind me. I scrambled over, facing Severus as he reformed from the cloud like specter head taken on in order to fly. My breath caught and I shuffled back away as his trousers were unbuttoned. "Silly girl. How foolish you were to believe yourself able to escape me." My body flew towards him against my will when he snatched his hand backwards and I gasped as either leg became bound, splaying me wide open to him. Ropes wound around my wrist also, stretching my arms out between the nearest trees. My chest heaved Severus landed on his knees between my forcefully parted legs, his much wider blade slicing cleanly through my clothing until I was stripped bare for his inspection. "Hummm, you're quite beautiful. I'll greatly enjoy taking you." The blade was buried to the hilt beside me and he began shrugging off his own clothing as I watched him greedily. Maybe it was just because he was my imprint, but there was no one that I had ever been this aroused for. His pants were kicked from around his ankles once his shoes were off and hot lips attacked my navel. I squealed at the sudden asalt to my ticklish belly, trying to twist away with little success. "Your struggling else I'll be forced to use that blade!" It was snatched from the ground and flashed in front of me. The flat side was traced along my cheek and my eyes fluttered wider and I jumped when he leaned over to suck my left breast. A deep needing whimper escape as I arched up into him and he chuckled around the hardened peek he was suckling at. It popped free with a wet sucking sound and he slid forward, sinking his throbbing cock into me as I yanked and tugged against my bonds. There were few things that turned me on more than being tired up. But being utterly at his mercy as I waited on my death was one of them. His cock reached the ceiling my vagina and he bucked roughly, hissing out a hot breath against my ear. "I'm going to sink my blade into you as I shot my load all over your insides!" A startled scream escaped as he circled my clit roughly before beginning a brutal pace that scratched it into many. His hips pounded into mine, the heavy slap of skin meeting skin echoing through the other wise quite forest being joined only by my screams and the occasional chip of birds. Teeth caught my neck roughly enough to leave marks but in my saturated mind it only drive my pleasure higher. I'd already been on the edge just from being hunted as I was and one more thrust sent me over the edge for the first time. Severus grunted loudly next to my ear and I screamed. "Now! Now please!" Sharp pain launched through my underarm but it didn't hurt nearly as badly as when Jazz had done it. It was yanked from my body and plunged into his at the same point several seconds later. Blood bubbled from the wound with each beat of his heart but he kept going and I sobbed as my toes curled into the dead leaves littering the ground. A scream sent a few birds fluttering away as he angled to pound my G-spot more firmly than before. His larger mass shoved me bodily down into the forest floor, snarling out his pleasure out perhaps pain as the hot wash of his orgasm filled me and ran down my legs. My hips surged up as much as I was able to meet him but he locked tightly to me, keeping me pressed into the ground as he emptied himself inside. The ropes holding me in place were gone suddenly and he say us both up, leaning heavily back into a tree as we panted for lost breath. It was a far cry from our usual session that leeway no less than 3 orgasms but I doubted very much we'd have time to reach even a second. Fingers ran firmly over my back and I hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much Severus. This really amazing." He hummed, kissing along my jaw and cheeks firmly as his eyes glassed over in pleasure. "Feels good right?" He nodded, swallowing thickly as his cock pumped out one last spurt of cum to warm my belly. "I've never been cuddled like this while I was waking up. Feels really good Sev. I'll going to have you decommission my vessels from now on. Even the times I don't remember it would be really nice to just be held and comfortable until I part. Know it would be hard on you but it would make things a lot easier, and I'd do the same for you Severus. I won't let you part alone if I can be there." I caught him cheek and he sighed into my attention, catching my fingers to kiss firmly. "I love you, and I will gladly take this job in order to help you pass peacefully." The edges of my lips tugged into a smile and I sighed, sinking forward to rest my cheek on his peck. "You'll pass before I will. You're so close already..." I tried to open my eyes but blackness greeted me so I just gave myself over to euphoric high the blood lose had caused. "Yeah... only a minute now..." Warm fingers petted through my hair and I relished in the care he placed into my comfort. There really was no one that had cared for me as he did and I knew I was glib to clung to him just as long as he'd allow. The harsh sound of breathing invaded my airs and for several seconds I didn't realize it was me. Severus squeezed my hand and I answered back worth a little one of my own before my body finally gave out. Dizzy pleasure still swarmed in my mind for several moments longer as I focused on reforming into the physical world. It final cleared up though and I shoved my extinguished vessel from Severus's lap to cuddle up there myself. "You're taking longer than expected my love. Though I did guess you're larger than me and have more blood to lose." The edges of his lips played into a smirk and he pulled my hands up to kiss them. "Yes, I am quite enjoying this though. I can see why you like it so well. I don't believe I've ever felt this relaxed and good at the same time." I chuckled, snuggling closer to him as his eyes fluttered closed. Fingers loosened their hold, falling limply against my lap and I reached up to touch his neck. His pluse was still racing, he'd only passed out. The barest of warm breaths still tickled my face and I carefully fitted my hand over his mouth, pinching of his nose as well. "Come on Sev. Time to give it up..." His muscles twitched against me, still trying to hang on but after another half a minute or so his body finally gave out. The rapid pounding of his heart under my hand faded away and his heavy presence recollected behind me. "You didn't go near as easy as I hoped." He appeared slight shaken when I righted myself and took his hands. "It's ok. That feeling will pass soon enough. Its only normal to be nervous about leaning behind your body for the first time. I promise everything is ok." His fingers twitched toward me and I stepped into his reach, catching them to press against my cheek. For a long moment we stayed like that before finally and sagged and I chuckled lightly. "I know. It's alright though Sev. Come on, I want to get transferred as soon as possible. You'll go first to ensure you're memories properly transition over. Sometimes there's lag and I may need to watch after you if that happens. I would hate for you to only remember killing me and nothing that up to it." Severus inclined his head, leaning to kiss me softly. "Yes, that would be quite upsetting. What about you though? You could also experience the same lag in memories correct? Or is that something that diminishes with age?" My head shook slightly. "No, you are correct in assuming that I could have that issue but I'm quite sure you'll be there to calm me down. That's why we going one at a time. So we able to help each other if needed. Come, best to get moving." A bit of confusion crossed his face and he glanced at our bodies. "Cats will clean them up. I'm quite Tango will enjoy eating your spent vessel." I tugged him toward me and he finally nodded, letting me teleport us away...

Severus POV: The room around us was mostly clear save a desk and a dozen, give or take a few large tanks. They were all filled with an odd green liquid but only 2 held bodies. My feet moved seemingly on their own to them in order to inspect them closer. The male looked remarkably like myself, only younger. It had a bit more muscle mass than myself though which would likely be to Samantha enjoyment. It also looked to be a tad more well endowed even though it was difficult to tell while it was relaxed. Slim arms encircled around my waist and I smiled fondly back at her. "They did a very good job on your body. I like the longer hair, and you're more muscular. You're younger too." She noted, tracing her fingers along the glass as my interest drifted to her new frame. She too looked much like she did now but was more slim, where as she had gained a bit of weight around her middle before. Her hair color was also a bit different, being more dark gold than light blond. "I hope their to your liking. We tinkered with the samples yourselves and Inutaishou provided and managed to mostly retain your looks while weaving in the genetics for your enhanced capabilities. In other words, you'll look human enough, but function as demons just as he does." The man behind me reached forward, hitting a button on the sideand the green liquid began draining away from my body. "I'm assuming that you're going in first Severus?" I nodded, watching my new frame sag into the metal grate below. The glass door popped open and he stepped by me, sitting it up against the wall. "In you go." Sam nudged me and I glanced at her, my confusion must have shown. "It isn't like when I had to revive the others. This body is undamaged and you only have to take possession of it." Her head inclined toward it and I finally stepped into this new frame. I wasn't sure what I expected to happen, but it was just as if I had taken a nap. My eyes fluttered open and I reached up, pulling away the mask pumping oxygen into my lungs. The sticky pads shocking my chest were pulled away as well and I climbed to my feet. Samantha hummed, tongue darting out to wet her lips as she touched my chest. "See something you like?" She chuckled, fingers drifting down my chest. " Oh very much so. You've gotten taller. And gold flecks in your eyes, I adore those." Her fingers touched my cheek and I turned my head to kiss her palm. "I'm glad they're to your liking. Your turn." I caught her fingers, pressing them firmly against my lips before guiding her to the vessel that had just been propped up. She sank down into, our fingers remaining entwined until the last second. Het eyes fluttered open and I was quite pleased to see they still remained the same striking green, though there were also the barest hints of gold in them as well. "I wonder if they still chance color." She blinked a few times, taking my hand to get to get feet before I ran my fingers over her navel. Her stomach jumped into my touch, eyes darkening and I chuckled. "I'm glad to see that has stayed the same. Though the colors vary slightly, I'm quite partial to the gold trim in them." A small shy smile crossed her face and I pulled her fully into me. "You're beautiful." Red flushed onto her cheeks and I kissed them. Her skin smelled quite bitter, though so did the rest of the room and I could only guess it was what ever fluid our bodies had been kept in. It had quite a strong scent and I couldn't wait until we could get a bath. "Come on, we stink. I forgot what it was like having such a strong sense of smell. Thank you, you do excellent work as always." Our company inclined his head, stepping quickly from the room and we followed quickly...

Our bedroom engulfed us and I set Sam onto the bed, just watching as she smoothed down her slimmer belly, poking it lightly. "You could stand to gain a few pounds. They've clearly under nourished your body." She pouted, leaning back onto her hands to watch me. "You're just trying to fatten me up so no one else will want me!" I chuckled, stepping between her legs as I caught her hand and leaned over her. "No one else, shall ever~ have you. I will personally, see, to, it, that they fear for their lives should they so much as look at you, in a manor that I deem unfit~." She swallowed thickly, eyes darkening by several shades and the tender flesh of her throat jumped as I lay my lips against. Goosebumps prickled along her taught skin and I dipped my tongue into the hollow of get throat getting a sharp gasp. "Severus please!" Dull nails ran down my chest as I released her hands and she whimpered needily into my kiss when our lips sealed against each other. It ended far too soon as she pushed me back, panting. "We need to get a shower. Come on." I groaned lowering my head to drop kisses along her collar bone. "I need you far more than I need a shower." My cock throbed hotly against her leg and I slid forward despite her trying to push me back. "Severus I'm not kidding, Skittles. Stop it." My jaw tightened and it took near all my effort just to reign myself in and keep from taking her against her will. "You had better hurry then because I am not sure how long I can hold out." This sudden urge was something I'd never experienced before and it honestly scared me that I might not be able to control myself. Samantha offered a exasperated smile, touching my cheek lightly as a low growl rumbled from me. Honestly it took me off guard to hear it and it must have showed. "Toga is a inu Yokai, he provided the sample to blend in the creation of this vessel there for you are now as well. With all that, that entails. They among the more possessive of Yokai and have a strong drive to claim who ever they see as their mate. Often by force if necessary, which I'm very glad you were able to over come. Keep in mind this body has not had sex yet and I need you to take things slow with me for the first few times." I swallowed thickly, biting the inside of my cheek to try and wrestle back my control over myself. "Yes, of course. You should know that I would never force you into that if you truly did not wish for me to do so. Especially if it would cause you pain. Right now though, I need something from you and I'm not quite sure what it is, perhaps you can help me since you have been a demon before." She smiled softly, tipping back her head as her eyes fluttered closed. Mine widened at the sight of her pale thrust displayed for me and before I even knew what I was doing my mouth had sealed around it. "Submission Severus, that's what you were needing." Several open mouthed love bites were played over her tender flesh before I finally pulled back from her. It had gone a long way in easing the urge to take her and I sighed, kissing her softly. "Thank you. It would be a good thing then, that you enjoy being submissive." She nodded, sitting up as much as she could until I stepped back and helped her to sit. "Yes, inu are among the most attentive kinds second only to snakes when it comes to care for their chosen mates. Despite what their animal counterparts would have you to believe they're enormously loyal to there mates and seldom stray with permission to do so. With that attentiveness comes a great deal of possessiveness and a strong urge to claim their mate. It can become rather volatile in situations where one partner will not yield. Though that does seem to fade some with strength. Most lower level Yokai wouldn't stop at the to do so because they feel inferior. I strongly suspect you'll be quite powerful in your own right Severus." She leaned up, kissing me lightly before nosing at my neck until I bared it to her getting a quite pleased little purr as she lapped her tongue against the hollow of my throat. "It is good to see you have to no issue yielding to me either. Though I am mostly likely significantly less formidable than you now so that may help. It can really go either way depending on personality but you were already very attentive and sweet." I smirked, tugging her up and into my arms. It was far easier than before, not that it was difficult, but now she seemed weightless. "That's because Yokai are much stronger humans and you are likely much stronger than the average Yokai because you come from Toga's genes." My eyes darted down to her, petting softly against her butt as I stepped into the bathroom. "It is quite odd feeling this much power. If I'd met you a few years go I could have probably kept Voldemort from becoming an issue." She laughed, nuzzling into my hair. "Oh you absolutely could have. Strong as he seemed he was merely human and could not have place so much as a scratch on you." Steam began filling the room and I turned back the temperature to more reasonable levels before stepping over the edge to wash away the musky smell from our skin...

Samantha POV: I sighed into Severus's attention as he curled around me in bed. It felt good to be rid of the tacky stickiness from our skin. Warm lips nuzzled my head back and I rolled over, barring myself completely to him. A deep rumbling growl vibrated through me and I was rewarded with a flurry of licks, kisses, and pets. "You have know idea how good it makes me feel for you to place yourself in this position for me!" I chuckled, reaching up to run my fingers through his hair. "I do in fact. This isn't my first time being mated to an inu Yokai." His brows knitted, head tipping sideways. "No? Should I be jealous?" My hand was caught and kissed over as his brozan eyes watched me intently. "Not hardly. While he made a wonderful mate during the time we both agree he makes a better farther." Surprise flickered across his face. "Toga?" I nodded, leaning up to nuzzle his throat until he gave it to me. "We were very young as far as Yokai terms go and or patents decided to mate us off in hopes of mending ties between our lands. It worked out well even though it only lasted a comparatively short time. The war that would have broken out was diverted and he was able to take rule from his father over a land of peace instead of turmoil as it would have been if I hadn't become Hoshiko." Severus hummed, fingers petting against my sides. "Hoshiko... It is quite beautiful, what does it mean?" Strong arms encircled me, tugging me back into his chest. "Child of the stars. Which is remarkably accurate considering I had been living on another planet before incarnating to her. I enjoy being a Yokai almost as much as I enjoy being cybertronian. The only down side is the heat cycles. Without a mate to ward off other males it's just a swarm of dicks flying at me from every angle and they aren't picky about weather I want them out not. Of course, being in heat makes me far less picky about who I roll for as long as I get relief." Elongated canines nipped at my neck sharply and I pulled away from the sting. "Mind your fangs Severus. They're quite sharp." He paused before his warm tongue soothed away the light ache with soft licks. "My apologies. It will be an adjustment becoming used to this body." I barked a laugh, nestling back into him. "Yeah, you think having fangs is going to be hard getting used to just wait until we have sex. You're an inu Yokai now that is one thing you and dogs will have in common." His eyes widened, pulling back to watch me as I giggled. "Yes, you'll knot inside and become stuck. It may be a bit of an nuisance to you but I found I quite enjoyed feeling my partner swell inside me." Severus grunted lightly. "I imagine I'll get used to it. Sooner rather than later would be nice." Warm breaths tickled my neck and his fingers slid lower, dipping between my legs. "I'll be certain that I'm gentle with you since this will be your first time." He whispered, index finger sliding between my folds. A small gasp escaped and I lifted my leg to allow him better reach as he prodded my hyman, checking it's structure before pulling away to rub my clit. "You are ok to continue, correct?" I nodded. "Yes Severus, I stopped you before because I needed to know your limits. I'm very glad you complied too, it would have been very unpleasant if you'd just taken me without preparation." Soft lips pressed against the back of my ear. "I would never do that to you. I love you Samantha." I sighed, leaning up into his attentions. "I know Sev. You're a really good mate. I love you too, very much." Fingers rubbed circles against my naval before he pulled me up, setting me up higher in bed so he could kiss my thighs. "You're tense. What's wrong?" Of course he would pick up on it. "Samantha? Is this about what happened before?" I swallowed thickly and Severus climbed back over me, catching my chin to make me meet his eyes when I tried to look away. "Look at me. He can never hurt you again. I am here and no one but me will ever touch you again." The backs of his fingers ran over my cheek and I breathed out a sigh, leaning into him. "I know Sev... The scars from the first time in my last body still haven't healed." Severus sighed, kissing my head. "That will take time and patience. It was no doubt very traumatic for you. It's ok, I'll take all the time you need." My eyes fluttered closed, pushing into his comfort. "Thank you. I know you won't hurt me Sev. It's just hard to forget about last time, I'll manage though." For a long moment he held my eyes and they narrowed as I felt him skating around my thoughts. "There are exceedingly few I would allow into my mind as you are now Severus. I trust you're satisfied that I'm ok and can continue?" He breathed a sigh, kissing me sweetly several times before working his way back down to nuzzle into my folds. "You smell very good!" His soft tongue darted out, licking at my clit before sucking it firmly into his mouth to roll against his teeth gently. I gasped, toes curling into the blanket below. A sharp whimper escaped and he sucked a bit hard forcing blood to pool into the already super sensitive bud. Warm breaths skittered over my lust moistened fresh as he watched me intently. Fangs grazed me ever so gently and I squirmed against his face, bucking downward. Hands caught my thighs, pulling me off the bed so he could devour me properly. My fist was stuffed into my mouth, muffling my sob into it. His tongue dipped lower, prodding my sealed entrance lightly and my eyes squeezed tightly shut. "Please! Ah, Severus!" He growled, reaching down to palm my breast softly, rolling the hardened nipples between his fingers. Everything fell so much better than it had before and I was teetering on the edge already. Severus's heated gaze burnt against my skin and I finally lost myself with a scream of his name. My back hit the bed and a sharp prick of pain shocked up my spine as he slid fully into me. A hot mouth kissed over my neck and I grasped, reaching around to hug him to me. He felt bigger than before, of course it could be my as of yet underutilized frame. The sharp scent of blood caught my nose but the pain had mostly been covered by my orgasm. "Are you well?" He asked, combing back my hair as he kissed me. I nodded quickly, bucking up onto him. A low growl rumbled from him, fangs catching my throat lightly as he began a much slower pace than I had become used to. I needed this gentleness right now though and he must have been able to tell...

Severus POV: I groaned into samantha's neck as she tightened around me and her moans finally tipped me over the edge. My hips shuddered against her's, locking us together as she ran her blunted nails over my back. "Oh Severus! I forgot just how good this felt!" Her chest heaved under my extra weight and I rolled us over so she was laying on me. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. It will be quite an adjustment but it's good to see you happy." She smiled, snuggling into me as I held her. "This vessel isn't on any form of protection. You'll have to do something about that." A small hum sounded and she kissed my chest. "I'm able to seal myself with yuki to ensure I have no unwanted conceptions, if not I'd end up carrying to near any rifraf during a heat cycle." My eyes flicked down to her. "I shall ensure that no others dare to touch you. You are mine, and only I will have you." She giggled as I pecked kisses over her cheeks and traced her fingers in light lines against my chest until I caught them, tugging them to my lips to kiss. I honestly had no idea how I'd gotten so lucky as to get her but she more than made up for my hardships up until this point. "I love you, Samantha. And I can not wait to spend the rest of our lives together." She grinned wide, nuzzling into me as I held her tightly. "I love you too Sev. I love you so much."...
