3 Years Later
One night turned into two and then three and then the little kitten was always sleeping next to Zero. They got the kitten set up and she just melted everyone's heart, even Cain, who eventually came around to the little fuzzy bundle. They quickly came up with the name of Starla, or Cain did, and Zero just loved it. Jeb, Lilly and Abby loved her as well. Abby spent more time with them so she could see Starla, but they didn't mind it at all. But things under the Sorceress were never as easy as they should be.
So Azkadellia came to see them and of course, Starla attacked her. If they weren't worried about getting their souls sucked out at the moment, it would have been pretty funny. After some convincing from Zero, she let them keep the animal, as long as they kept it far away from her. They agreed. It was nice actually, for Azkadellia never made any more visits to their place.
Over the years, the kitten grew into a well-loved cat, a nice part of their family, and a calming influence in their stressful life. Zero was right; there was something special about her.
Currently, Cain, Zero, Jeb and Lilly were all heading down to the front entrance of the tower, on a summons by the Sorceress. The messenger had been incessant that Cain and Zero bring the entire family down. Cain and Zero where a little bit nervous but didn't want to upset her by not following her orders. When they got to the entrance hall they saw her, standing there, with a big smile on her face.
When they got to the entrance hall they saw her, standing there, with a big smile on her face.
"And here is the lovely family of honor," she purred. Cain and Zero looked at her confused. "Oh don't my boys remember what today is?" she said with a pout. They both shook their heads.
"Oh I'm disappointed in you two," she said walking passed Cain at that moment, letting her hand brush over his stomach, hand lightly caressing it. Cain tensed light at this, at her action.
"Don't you remember the day you were stabbed and my viewers brought you back. The day you joined me. It's been 10 years today," she said as she walked passed them both, giving them both a light squeeze on their asses before she moved back in front of them, bending down to look at Lilly.
"I got you a present, sweet Pea," she said with a smile. Lilly's smiled widely at this and Cain and Zero got nervous.
"What is it, Miss Az?" Lilly asked. The Sorceress just smiled before nodding to a man near the side of the room. He open the door he was standing next to and a few men brought in a Dollhouse, while another one brought in a box.
"I think I heard that you liked to play with dolls, so I had this one made, especially for you, my dear. I also got you some new dolls as well, with lots of clothes for you to change them into." At that Lilly got really, really excited. Cain moved a hand on her shoulder to stop the little girl from bounding at the shiny new toys. Cain was angry. He had told the sorceress that his children where off limits and here she was showering them with gifts again.
"I'm sorry, Sorceress, we can't accept these gifts from you." Cain said, trying his best to keep his voice smooth and calm. He could since the disappointment from Lilly, but hoped she understand, one day.
"Why not?" Azkadellia said, disappointed, giving Cain a glare.
"We don't have room for all these toys." Cain explained, hoping that she would not press the matter. It was true; they were short on space as it is.
"Well if you need a bigger place, all you have to do it ask. There are a few open, close to my personal quarters," Azkadellia said with a smile. Cain flashed her a angered look but it was Zero who spoke next.
"That will not be necessary, Sorceress. Our quarters are adequate enough. We just need to get rid of some stuff to make room for it."
"No, I think that what you need, bigger quarters, I think I have a three bedroom suite, it would be perfect, give Lilly here a room of her own. A girl her age needs a room of her own." She said with a smile. Lilly squealed at this.
"Sorceress, that will not be necessary," Zero said but at that, she snapped her fingers.
"Vy-Sor, can you get the ball rolling on getting their room set up, send some people over to move their stuff over. I want them moved in by tonight."
"Yes Ma'am." The man said, before leaving.
"Sorceress, please, we like where we are." Cain spoke.
"Nonsense, this is just my gift to you two. A gift you're not going to refuse. As well as another thing, but that's later tonight," she said with a wicked little smile before turning her attention to Jeb. She walked up to him.
"Hey, Jeb, cutie. You sure have grown into a nice looking man," she purred at him. Jeb blushed slightly at this. Cain could nearly not contain his anger at this point as he grinded his teeth. "And I got you a gift worthy of you." She said, moving to caress the boy's cheek. His eyes just went wide at that, blush deepened at that. Azkadellia's eyes glittered with mischief at that.
"Sorceress, what is the gift?" Zero said, almost rudely at that. Her eyes flashed at him disapprovingly but moved away from Jeb at that, which made both Zero and Cain feel better.
"It's outside," she said walked to the entrance. The other's followed her out. As soon as they cleared the door, they saw he gift sitting there. Jeb just looked at it in shock. So did Cain and Zero at this point because sitting before them was a brand new car.
"I just thought a boy Jeb's age should have something, fun."
"Sorceress, this is just way too much for Jeb," Cain bellowed.
"Oh hush, you. As long as he enjoys it, it's fine. Jeb, do you like your gift?" she asked him. His eyes shinned and a wide smile spread across his lips.
"I love it, thank you!" The boy said excitedly, moving in to give the sorceress a hug, a thing he done on many occasions as a boy. But when she moved to cup to boy's ass before giving it a tight squeeze, Jeb's eyes went wide.
"Sorceress, would you please, kindly take your hands off my son," Zero seethed out. Azkadellia turned her look at Zero now, glaring at him.
"Oh don't be that way, or I won't give you two your other gift, Generals." Azkadellia said. Both Zero and Cain blinked at this.
"What?" Zero asked, not sure if he heard her right. She just smiled walking away from Jeb, to his relief, and walked over to Zero.
"I'm giving you two a promotion, to Generals. My right hand men, Advisers to the Sorceress." She gave them both a devilish little smile. "As well at other perks." Cain just glared at her, and she just drank in his anger.
"Just leave Jeb out of this," Cain said, low so that only the three of them could hear him.
"Mmmm, well, he is a little young for my taste, for now," she said, softly. "I hope you all enjoy you new gifts, have fun boys, I expect your presents later tonight, after you settle into your new home." She said to Cain and Zero before walking back into the Tower, leaving the four of them. Cain and Zero where seething.
"Daddy? Papa? Why are you so mad?" Lilly asked a little scared. Zero moved down to look at Lilly.
"We just a little unhappy that Ms. Az is going to make us work more, so that we won't be able to spend more time with you."
"Really? No! I don't want you have to work more." Lilly said with a pout.
"Yeah that's why we are upset, sweetie," Cain said, but his eyes were on his son, worried cause he still carried that deer caught in headlight look.
"Adrian, why don't you take Lilly to get some lunch, we will catch up with you later," Cain said before walking up to Jeb. "Hey, I think we need to have a talk." Cain said motioning Jeb to walk away as Zero and Lilly made their way into the tower.
"Are you okay, Jeb?" Cain asked his son.
"I'm not sure, how should I feel when my parents' boss cops a feel of my ass," Jeb said, a little bit of anger within his words.
"Jeb, I know you're angry...." Jeb just ignored his father.
"Oh my God! It all makes sense now, why she likes us so much, why she spends so much time with me and Lilly, why you guys sometimes disappear, only to come back pissed, you're fucking her," Jeb said, giving his father a shocked look.
"Watch your mouth, young man!" Cain yelled out.
"That not an answer, Dad," Jeb said angrily.
"That is none of your concern, so drop it. I'm more worried about you at the moment. "
"Scared that she's gotten bored with you two and is going to try and jump me now?"
"Just, don't let yourself be alone with her. She's got her ways to drag you in. Get you to do what you really don't want to do."
"So you have been fu.... sleeping with her then?" Cain just sighed heavily at that.
"Azkadellia is not the type of person you say no to when she makes a request."
"So that what you are calling it now, a request. Dad, you're sleeping with her, you both have been. I just can't believe that, and me, she was.... Oh God she was hitting on me. She wants me to sleep with her as well," Jeb said eyes wide.
"I will do everything in my power to prevent that Jeb," Cain promised.
"HOW?! If you can't say no to her then how am I going to stand a chance against her?" Jeb said.
"Adrian and I will go talk to her. There has to something we can do."
"I mean it's not like it would be a bad thing to lose my virginity to such a sexy woman but for the fact she sleeping with both my parents kind of weirds me out a little bit."
"Jeb!" Cain said in shock. "Well at least it's nice to know that you're still a virgin."
"Did you have any doubts about that?" Jeb said.
"Well you have been getting close to the Davis's daughter."
"Cassy? Nah, we are just friends," Jeb said, but could not hide the blush that formed on his cheeks.
"So that is why I saw you two making out the other day." Jeb's eyes want wide at that.
"You saw us!" Jeb's cheeks where now bright red and he just looked like he wanted to die.
"So what are you going to do about the car?" Cain said, trying to change the subject.
"What do you mean? I can keep it right?" Jeb asked.
"Jeb, do you want to be indebted to her?" Cain asked. Jeb's eyes just went wide again.
"Ok she can have it back then," Jeb said.
"Good boy," Cain said, giving his boy a hug. "Ok let's catch up with your Father and sister and get some lunch."
Later that night
Cain and Zero both entered the Sorceresses quarters after getting settle in their new quarters. She was sitting in a chair that was, facing the door looking at them. She was dressed in nothing but a silk robe. She smiled at them, and if it weren't for the Longcoat standing within the room, they would have been completely certain on what she wanted from them.
"You called for us, Sorceress?" Zero said as they stood next to each other and her smiled just widen. They knew they were in trouble.
"I have a game for you. Or maybe I should call it a test. Being generals in my army comes with certain, expectation." She said, nodding to the Longcoat. He left, to move to the backroom before returning quickly, holding a frighten girl. The man dropped her at their feet before he left the room. The girl was crying, but they both tried their best not to feel sorry for her, since gods knew what they were about to do with her. In Cain's mind, she was a resister, found out and brought here for this test. She deserved no pity.
"Being generals, you're expected to have to follow my orders without questioning them. Zero, pick her up." Zero looked at her for a second before nodding, grabbing her by the arm, pulling her to her feet.
"Good." She purred out. "Now, I want you to take her to the bed over there, and take her." She said calmly. Zero's eyes went wide. She knew that he had never… so this is what made it a test. He thought for just a split second, looking at the terrified girl.
"No, Sorceress, I will not do it," he said softly. He could tell she was not happy with that answer.
"And why not, you sleep with me all the time." She smirked back at him. He flashed her a glare.
"Yes, because you want me there. I'm not going to rape this girl."
"And why not, your Sorceress asked you too, you should be grateful to do it, following my orders without question," she seethed out. It was Cain's turn to speak up.
"And are you not tired of that? You have so many men around you, following every order that you give. Being a good general is being able to help you, question things that might do harm to you or your empire. We will follow most all your orders, but we will speak our minds, and question what we feel is unnecessary." She gave Cain a glare before the smile spread across her lip. She slipped from her chair, walking up to them.
"You're right. I am little tired of these Generals all groveling at my feet, but if you two step out of bounds to many times, I won't hesitate to kill you both," she said giving smile. They both nodded at her. "Well, Generals, my first order to you, is to get rid of that girl," she said, giving her a look of distaste. Before the girl even had a chance to protest Zero snapped her neck and she fell to the floor dead. The Sorceress just smiled up at him.
"Now that is my boy." She said before moving up to give Zero a kiss; it was passionate, full of the promise of what she expected tonight. She moved to Cain at that, and she could see the unanswered question in his eyes as he looked at the dead girl on the ground that looked oddly familiar now.
"I think you want to ask me something, General. Feel free to speak." She said.
"I recognize her. I was just curious who she was," he said, trying his best to seem like he didn't care.
"You should. She was one of my handmaids. She been whoring herself out to some of the soldiers without my permission. She had to be made an example of," she said with a smile. The bottom dropped out of Cain's stomach in further recognition of her.
"She was also…. General…"
"Lonot's daughter. Yeah, he disowned her when he found that one of those soldiers knocked her up. He was happy for me to dispose of her." She said with a smile. Cain watched, as Zero turned a little green for a second, before composing himself. Cain felt the rage boil within him at that. The Sorceress, he could tell, was waiting for that response and just drank it up. She took a hold of both at their arms, pulling them to her bed. They had a job to do, despite not wanting to at the moment.
They spend the time pleasing their Sorceress, and when she was satisfied, they left, heading back to their new quarters. They found that Jeb had put Lilly to bed, and tried to wait up for them, but had fallen asleep on the couch. Cain moved to pull some covers over his son before moving his lover to their private bath. He knew his lover needed to wash away his Sin, the disgust he felt for what he did. They showered together, and Cain washed his lover, slowly and lovingly, trying to show in action, that he still loved him, despite what the Sorceress made him do.
Then Zero lost it, tears flowing and Cain just held him till they eventually stopped. He wished there was a way out, but he knew there wasn't, they were in too deep as it was. She would never allow them to leave alive. They would just have to keep her happy till they found a way to make it right again. Do his best to help protect his family.
He helped Zero from the water, dressing him and getting him into bed. As he lay there, holding Zero, he made a promise to him, and himself, that he was going to find a way out. There had to be something better than this life. He would find it, and make sure that Zero would never have to be a part of this ever again.
