Chapter 7: Warm Embrace
"Don't forget me, my sweet child."
Mom's memories echo across my mind, her soft voice, and touch, were something I can never forget.
The sunrises more, soon approaching noon. The 'hunt' was over, and yet, it didn't feel like it was. Every so often, I could hear moans, and cries coming from the cave. These monsters are torturing those poor souls, but they're..."Tim!" The thought of my brother comes racing back. I remember what I was suppose to be protecting. My life matters very little, but his is everything to me. I struggle more firmly, but the binds around my wrists are tight.
After a few minutes of my attempts, they're worthless. "Disgusting creatures. I will escape..." My anger boils much more than early, as my mind fades to blind rage. I continue to try, and break my binds. My teeth grinding on each other, and suddenly they slip, causing me to bite down hard onto my tongue. I panic, blood gushing out of my mouth. I try to hold it all back in, but the amount is rather unpleasant. Soon keping to much inside, I can feel the warm liquid ooze out of my nose. A soft amount of spitting, and screams are let out over a few minutes until Suddenly, the shadow from Quy's tent rises.
My vision begins to blur. The blood i'm losing is far greater than I had thought. I try to not swallow my own tongue, but the pain is unbearable. That last thing I see is Quy rushing towards me with a large amount of concern over her face. My vision turns to black, and I collapse.
"What happened!?"
"I'm not sure...He's bleeding out."
"Clearly! Get him into the medical tent, we have to stop it quickly, and give him some magic. With the amount spilling out of his mouth, i'd say he doesn't have much time."
My conscience fades back and forth. I hear yelling, and a large amount of foot steps. The taste of iron stained into my taste buds. "Am I going to die? No...Tim! Please be okay..."
My eyes open, the smell of herbs, and some unfamiliar magic can be sensed. I try to move my mouth, but it's wrapped in bandages. My tongue hurts heavily, realizing what I had done. I give a sigh through my nose, and look up. I'm in a tent, and by the look of it, it's already night again. I'm not sure what time, but from the sound of crackling fire, and laughter, i'm assuming it's not to late. I roll over in a rather comfy bunk-like bed, to see Lua. Her chest is bare, but for the bandages around her shoulder, and chest.
I try to remember what Quy had told me, and that Lua had forgiven me for my actions. My anger got the best of me, but I still can't help but feel saddened. Lua's hair is dark blue, with small braids running along the sides. Her skin a bit lighter than Quy's, and the smell she gives off is sweet. It's as if i'm smelling a flower. Her body gives of an athlete life style, but yet, she has soft looking skin.
I lean upwards, and realize i'm not bound anymore. It seems, that they trust me more now. I'm not sure as to why, but it will be their down fall. From the loud conversations, and laughter heard outside the tent, it would be unwise to run now. When they go to sleep, or at least most of them do, I shall escape, and look for Tim.
I lay back down, trying not to fall back asleep. My mouth aches with pain, but it's not as unbearable. I hear a soft yawn next to me, in confusion I turn my head. Lua's amber eyes are locked onto me. "Well, hello there." She speaks with an adorable tone, and a smile to match. Each second that I don't respond , her face grows redder. "I'm sorry!" She turns her body away from mine, and lays back down.
"What...What is she?" My confusion brings me to a curiosity that I hadn't felt before, not since the time I spent with the neighbor girl. My body stiffens, but not in fear, but embarrassment. As I look down noticing my body is naked, all but my undergarments. Trying to cover my body with a blanket near by, Lua reaches over to me. Her soft hand caresses my chest, then up to my mouth. She leans in more, soon her face is next to mine. My heart races, I don't know what to think. "Is she going to eat me?"
Her breath is something of mint. It's cold, but warm. I'm pulled more into her large caring eyes, and the soft touch from her hands as they rest on my cheeks bring back memories of a happier time. Lua stops for a moment, getting up, and pulling her bed close to mine. In shock, I stay still. She moves more closely to me, as the beds lock together. Her blanket starts to fall off, and her lower body is shown.
Her face becomes completely red, as she leaps up slightly, and covers the rest of her body. "So-Sorry!" She looks away, but after a few seconds, she turns back with her face point downward. She moves more closely towards me, and soon she's laying her warm head onto my chest. The warm feeling gives me a pleasure that I enjoy heavily. The soft touch of a women, is something I had forgotten. "It's okay now..." Lua's body presses more firmly against mine, as she does a soft moan is let out, not from pleasure, but pain.
I had forgotten about the wound, that I gave her. My face molds into sadness. "I had hurt, this adorable creature...Am I the monster?" Lua catches my expression, and gives me a much tighter hug. "Don't worry! I'm fi...Fine. This wound is just a scar that I will treasure from you, forever..." Tears fall from her eyes, soon covering my neck, and upper chest. The feeling of her large mounds pressed against me turns my face red as well.
Lua wraps a blanket over the both of us. I can feel the warmth giving off from between her legs, they feel as if it's the Creator's light. Soft purr like sounds can be heard from Lua. She begins cuddling with me, each time she holds me tighter, more moans of pain escape. With a sudden feeling of 'love', I wrap my arms around her back. I can feel a smile mold around her mouth as it's laying on my neck.
Soon enough, the shadows from outside, the laughter, and conversations are becoming more, and more vague. The soft, and warm embrace of Lua softens my heart. I've felt this somewhere before...But I can't remember right now.
"What is happening to me? Mommy...Please help me..."
Sorry, that one took me awhile to get out due to sleep schedules. Oh well, I hope you liked it! I tried to explain another character a bit more, and show some background, but very lightly explain somethings more. Will John accept this new life? Forget about his father, brother, and other males? See you next time! :D
