Every Shot Cuts The Deepest Skin
Chapter Nine
I couldn't believe it
The heartbreak and the pain filled every part of my body.
Never-ending tears fell down from my eyes to the floorboards.
What I just heard from Ben's mouth echoed in my mind over and over again.
Four Weeks Earlier...
Ever since that day before me and Kable kissed, I haven't seen him since.
No matter how many times I asked Ben or the others where he was, I always got no reply.
But he wasn't the only thing that was worrying me.
The battles were getting harder and dangerous.
I'm very lucky to surrive everyone, though there were too many close calls.
There was no more celebrations unlike the last time, it was a one-off.
What I overheard in the gym after my sixth fight was that I was becoming poplaur with the viewers.
Up there with Kable.
Accourding to rumours, there were posters of myself and him with only a question mark under our names.
Chills ran down my spine.
Would I be fighting with or against Kable?
I had to see him about this if it was true or not.
After searching high and low around the prison, I found him on the same spot where we nearly kissed.
He turned around to look at me, his eyes dead on mine.
Suddenly breathless, I was brave enough to walk towards him though.
Once I stood before him, he turned away from me.
A stab of hurt entered my heart, why was he acting like this?
"Kable..." I uttered, finally after moments of silence.
"What do you want, Crystal?" He asked, still not looking at me.
"There's rumours that me and you might fight either together or against each other." I replied, my voice weakening.
He turned his head to face me very quickly, his eyes burning with pure horror.
"No, I won't fight with a woman." He said, walking away from me.
Stunned by his decison, I knew I couldn't let him disappear that quickly.
"Kable, please!" I shouted, instanly making him stop mid-step but he didn't turn around.
"Crystal, leave me alone." He cried, coldy.
"No I won't!" I shouted, stomping towards him.
Suddenly he grabbed ahold of me in a tight grip, my body slammed against his chest.
"You listen to me: I would NEVER fight with or against a woman, no matter what that bastard has planned for us. Especially not you."
I stared into his eyes, tears were forming in those passionate green orbs.
My lips started to tremble but they instanly stopped when his fingers gently touched them.
"Ssh, my love. Don't say a another word." He whispered.
Igorning the falling tears from both of our faces, he cupped my head and lowered his lips to mine.
My first kiss!
It was lustful yet passionate, animal yet beautiful.
I could feel his hands roam all over my back while I did the same to his.
So long we have waited for this, too many times the moment was shattered but now it has finally come true.
The rays of the sun broke free from the gloomy grey clouds, it shone on us like a golden beam of light.
At the same time, we ended the kiss to lean our foreheads against each other's.
"Oh Crystal..." He muttered.
I smiled to myself, simply adoring the way he said my name.
A few minutes later, we walked back inside hand in hand.
They noticed us together, some gave thumbs up and broad smiles.
Others turned away, not noticing a thing.
Ben came towards us, he winked at Kable and nodded his head at me.
"Good work, guys. Make sure you get some rest." He said, his chuckling echoed the walls until it faded away.
"He's a great guy, isn't he?" I asked Kable.
"Yeah. A brilliant trainer but a secret match-maker." He replied, showing that sexy smile of his.
We headed to my cell, the door automaticly opened.
But instead of going in alone, I dragged Kable inside and watched the door shut behind him.
"Crystal, we could get into trouble!" He warned.
His worries were long gone by the time I took off my clothes very quickly.
I could feel his eyes roam all over me, desire and lust was written in them.
"Come to me," I whispered, huskily.
He walked towards me slowly while I ripped his shirt off and pulled down his pants.
Admiring his naked figure under the darkness, waiting any longer would be agony.
But he was quicker by throwing me on the bed softly and placing himself on top of me.
Those teasing hands cupped my breasts, his fingers playfully pincing my nipples.
I groaned with pleasure while watching that wicked grin of his grow wider on his face.
His lips roamed other parts of my body until he stopped down there and started to kiss it.
I whimpered, shaking my head side to side while he licked the inner core of me.
"Please," I begged, biting my lip.
He looked at me, I could see my juices all over his mouth.
"Are you sure?" He asked, his body hovering over me.
"Yes," I nodded, feeling brave of what was going to happen next.
He lowered himself down and in a instant, he was inside me with a powerful thrust.
I yelled out the pain, he stopped to cup my face.
"It's okay, my love. Everything will be alright." He whispered.
I felt comforted by his words that the agony faded away.
"Do you want me to carry on?" He asked in my ear.
"Yes, don't stop now." I replied.
Letting go of my face to grab ahold of my body, he thrusted in me again.
Instead of pain, pleasure filled me.
I wrapped my arms around his neck as we made love.
In and out, slow then fast.
Moans and groans echoed all around us until I screamed out my orgasm.
He thrusted two more times then he came and spilt his seed in my welcoming womb.
We held on to each other, our bodies covered in sweat.
After a few seconds, Kable rolled off to gather me in his arms.
"Crystal, I'm so sorry that I hurt you." He said, tucking a strand of my hair over my ear.
"You didn't, in fact you made me whole again." I replied, with a smile.
He kissed me tenderly then we fell asleep in each other arms.
When I woke up to expect Kable there, I was wrong.
I was alone with only my clothes on the floor.
Quickly putting them back on, I exited the cell and went to search for him.
But Ben came up towards me with a grim look on his face.
"Hey, do you know where Kable is?" I asked, my head rising over his searching behind him.
"Crystal, I have something to tell you." He replied, sadly.
Fear rose in my stomach that I lowered my gaze to his eyes.
"It was Kable's twenty-ninth battle today, he won but something happened. They annoucned that you and him will battle against each other, whoever wins would get their pardon. I could see the horror and anger on his face that he suddenly snapped and escaped the prison. I'm sorry, Crystal, but I think Kable's gone. Possiably dead."
A long and wailing scream echoed in my head.
But when I tried to do it with my mouth, nothing came out.
I collasped on my knees, Ben went down to comfort me.
How could this happen?
Last night was so blissful and beautiful.
Why did he leave me so soon only to be lying dead somewhere because of me?
No, he couldn't possiably.
There was only one way I had to find out.
Escape Slayers, kill Ken Castle and get Kable back.
