For the first time in days Lena woke up not just feeling completly satastifed but also extremly happy. Amelie was still sleeping next to her with a very content smile on her sleeping face. Seeing this Lena leaned over and kissed her.
It's hard to belive that I'm actually in love with a demon. Oh crap, if my mother ever found out she'd have a heart attack. But that's something I'll deal with in the future, wait what will happen in the future?
I know we're going to be with each other forever but what exactly does that mean? Am I immortal now? Or do I join her when I die?
Before she had a chance to go into a mental frenzy two purple arms wrapped around her waist. "The answer to your questions are quite simple Lena."
"Well don't keep me hanging"
"All roads lead to rome. No matter what choice we have to make you'll always be with me forever. It's that simple."
"So you're saying just don't worry about it?"
"We'll have plenty of time to work out everything once we deal with Nervan. But for right now lets clean ourselves up. After all I might have been a bit to overzealous last night."
She was about to to ask when she pointed to the various marks on her body. The first and most noticeable was the large red mark on her neck, she could still remember the sensation of her teeth on her neck as she bit down. She got off the bed and was haflway into the shower when she caugt something on her back that nearly made her jump.
Taking up most of her back was now a large purple spider symbol
"What the hell is this!"
"It's my mark of course. It's so everyone else knows that you're my future queen. I must say I wanted it to be red but you insisted on purple. I think it suites you quite well." she said running her fingers along the desgin
"When did I agree to this." but as she looked at her reflection she started to rembember how this happaned. Lena was on her back with Amelie comming up from between her legs for a kiss.
"No more... Or I'll go insane."
"But you've only came five times. Three more and I'll beat my all time record."
While the spirit was willing the flesh was exhausted and so she'd flpped over hopeing to get some rest. "Look Amelie I love you and all but my body can on only take so much."
It was then Amelie had started tracing her back and kissing her neck.
"Very well Lena but if we're not going to continue at least let me oficially mark you."
"Alright but don't go overboard. And please don't choose red"
"Don't worry my love."
"You forgot to tell me it was going to cover my entire back."
"Well traditionally it goes on the front, but I couln't bring myself to cover those wonderful breasts of yours." Despite her annoyance she still felt herself blushing at her words.
"You're lucky I love you or I'd be pissed."
"Yes yes I know."
They quickly got in and attemted to shower so that they could continue their day but Lena cound't tear her eyes away from Amelie's purple naked form in front of her. It was something new to her or anyting, but now it was different. Just watching her shower wasn't enough.
Maybe it was Amelie's influnce rubbing off on her or maybe she just wanted to but whateve the reason she spun Amelie around and began to make out with her.
As predicted Amelie eagerly returned the kiss as her arms began to roam down Lena's back.
"And what brought this on?"
"You started this and now I'm going to finish it." She started to lower her herself so that she could began her orral assult when she was pulled back up.
"As much as I like this new side or yours I'm afarid that we'll have to postpone untill this city is demon free."
"You're saying not to sex?"
"Only for now."
"But why?"
"Call it motivation. For when I Nervan is defeated I'm going to fully take you. Possibly right there and then, and when I do so I won't be stopping. It will last for hours and as such you're going to need all the energy you have. So for now I want you to hold off and savor the fantasy."
Lena wanted to refuse but the more she thought about the more she wanted it.
If last night was any indicator then I really will need my energy. I mean I can barely feel my legs as is.
"Exactly now come we have a demon to hunt."
They finished and prepared themselvs as fast as they could before hopping in her car and driving to the station.
Once they arrived they saw that it was a madhouse. People in full riot gear were dealing with crazed followers both inside and outside the building. The front doors were ripped from their hinges and a baracde had been erected just behind it
McCree pulled them inside as soon as they say them. "I'm glad you two are here."
"What's happening?"
"Your demon friend called the station and declared war on the entire city. Claimed he was going to march down here heimself and personally kill everyone inside. Seemed he didn't take your refusal lying down."
"And I take it he's been sending his minons all morning then?"
"Yeah they caught us off guard at first but he went of for quanitly over quality so they really havne't been much trouble. Well that is untill he sent in those two heavy hitters."
"How bad could they be?"
"Lena they tore the door off it's hinges with just their hands. They're not like the people that we've been dealing with so far."
"If I had to guess I'd say that Nervan summone two of his old allies in a moment of panic. They're ex gladiators that I threw away instaed of killing them. Now they may not be the smartest but what the lack in brain power the more then make up for with their brawn."
"I'll say, I put two bullets in their chest the first time they broke through and they still shrugged it off."
"Any side of Nervan?"
" He hasn't shown himself in person but he has been calling the station to remind us how this could have been prevented and how he's going to use our skulls as drinking cups. You know the usual cliché bad guy rant."
"I take it the cheifs finally had his heart attack then."
"He lasted about four hours before passing out. Anywaws right now were throwing his followers in cells. Any chance you and Amelie can deal with them."
"Sure the sooner they're gone the sooner we deal with Nervan."
As Amelie headed off toward the cells McCree quickly pulleed Lena aside. "Look I probably should have told you this sooner but the last time Nervan called he mentioned you. But lucikly four you I was the only one in the room when this came through."
"What did he have to say."
"To sum it up he's going to kill you and your girlfriend very slowely. Now the next time you see him I would recommend putting a bullet between his eyes."
She nodded thinking about how this was going to end one way or another.
Rounding the corneer she found Amelei surrounded by a pile of unconcious people. She was currently holding one man by his throat. Normally if she saw this she'd tried to stop her but this man was possessesd by a demon and at least this way he'd be freed. Or at least that's what she told herself as he dropped to the floor.
"Nothing buy low level demons. His enforcers arent far though. In fact I can feel them inside the building."
Lena reached for her gun as Amelie walked toward the nearest wall and beganing knocking against it every few feet. When she stopped Lena raised her gun.
But Amelie was faster and plunged her fist into the wall and pulled out a very large man before throwing him to the wall.
"Balok it's been a while."
"Few centuries if I remember right." he said crabbing a bit of rubble and charging her. Lena took aim and fired at his knees bringing him to the floor. When he hit the ground Amelie brough her foot down on his scull before muttering something. Moments later he let out a scream before he stopped moving. "That's one down, however keep in mind Takkis is far more dangerous."
"How dangerous could he be?"
"He was my strongest gladiator from the beginning. That should tell you how dangerous he is."
The sound of gunfire got their attention and they ran into the halls just in time to see a line of officers backing up and hiding around pillars as an heavily armed heavily armored assailant walked down the halls with two automic rifles in his hands. A few feet behind him in a bullet proof vest was Nervan. His skin now had a reddish tint to it as though he hadn't fully givin up his human disguise yet.
They rushed over to McCree who was reloading his gun. "Any way you two can deal with the walking tank?"
"There might be one way to distract him but it's not something I want to do."
"Amelie he's quite literally tearing his way down the halls. I don't care how bad it it but please just do it."
"Fine but the moment you have the shot take it. Otherwise it's you I'm comming for McCree."
He nodded and readied his gun as she steped foward with her hands up in surrender.
The moment they say her they stopped their assult.
"What are you waiting for you idiot kill her!"
"Can't she's unarmed. It wouldn't be right."
"I see you're still a gladiator at heart Takkis." he might have stopped fireing but his guns were still trained on her. Nervan frustated at her still being alive strode foward and pulled out his own gun. "Say what you will about mortals but they do make fine killing tools."
Amelie smiled and turned her attenion to Takkis. "Tell me Takkis what did Nervan offer you for your services."
He looked at her for a moment and lowered his guns. "Money and power."
"Well I'm willing to double no tripple his offer if you agree to serve me now and kill him."
"Oh no you don't he's mine now!" he prepared to fire but Ameilie had seen Takkis smile and raise his gun to Nervan. She ducked out of the way just as the shots went off. Takkis gut a few shots into Nervan's back as he fired into Takki's head. But a few shots also bounced off the walls and hit Amelie in the arms and legs. As she fell against a nearby wall Lena rushed foward to tend to her wounds.
From what she could see they were bad but not life threating although through their link she was also feeling the pain and it was very intense.
She was so distracted she didn't see Nervan struggle toward her and pull out a knife. But McCree say it and put a few bullets through him, but sadely Nervan still had the strength to lean foward enough and plunge his knife into Lena before falling to the floor.
Lena cried out in pain as the knife pierced her skin and found its way deep into her body.
That combined with the pain from the gunshots pushed her over the edge and she she to fell to the floor. In her final moments she saw Nervan's host body die as his spirit was sent back.
Her body grew colder and colder untill all she saw was darkness. That's all she could see for the longest time then she began to see a bright light and felt her body getting hotter and hotter. The hotter it got the more she began to feel.
Finally it got to much and she opened her eyes and saw that this wasn't a hosptial bed but an incredibly elaborate black throne room. All around the bed she was in were red skinned demon girls. When they saw that she was awake one stepped foward. "Please my queen don't try and move your wounds have just finished healing."
"What's going on? Where am I?"
"You're in the underworld my queen. You were brought here a few weeks ago by Lady Widowmaker. You were very close to death so she gave you her blood, after that you fell into a deep slumber."
As she tried to come to terms with this Amelie ran into the room and dismissed the girls with a wave of her hand before jumping into the bed with Lena.
"I've been worried sick about you." she said kissing her mulptile times.
"Please explain what's going on."
"Nervan stabbed you with a demon dagger. Human medicine wouldn't have been able to cure you so I brought you here. I also gave you some of my blood to speed up the process. Which had the added effect of making you half demon."
"What!"
"Don't worry Lena this won't change you. But at least now I have another reason to love you."
"Am I going to have to stay here forever?" she might love Amelie but she didn't want to stay in the underworld forever. At least not right now.
"No for now you rest up and when you're fully healed we'll return to earth. McCree nearly shot me when he saw me dragging you through the portal. I told him I'd bring you back when you were better."
"You're enjoying this aren't you?"
"Of course I am now rest up. As soon as your up to full strenght I'm going to fufill my promise to you."
"Can you stay with me?" she smiled and crawled in the bed with her as Lena cuddled next to her.
"Goodnight my love."
"Goodnight Amelie."
