I went to do some flea work and Mimosa and Mirella had somewhere in between snuck into the common area to fuck. I hadn't even noticed when and didn't really care. I had been going to the public side every morning now to get my morning meal and I knew Samuel, Bran, and Damon were fucking. Adam and Charles went to gigs. I continued with the business of the flea and wondered if I should go to a gig somewhere in between.
I'd been working for a week when I felt the first symptoms of the heat. Fine for us to be getting a heat then. My heat banished Mimosa and Mirella from the wing and I wondered who was going to take care of my heat. There were snoopers at the wing door and neither Samuel nor Bran was suitable, Damon didn't even come to try so Adam and Charles came to deal with my heat.
My heat was demanding from the start, it was very easy for me to get a stomach ache if I didn't get treatment and again it couldn't be too intense. After two weeks of having my heat, I developed a fever and within a couple of days, I had a full-blown uterine infection
. Charles said to me as I was shaking in his arms and he wondered if the heat treatment would still help "Honey, can you give it a try if it would help? You've got a hell of a fever already. Listen, I think I'll go and ask Samuel about this. Salvatore's gone somewhere, so I can't ask him. Samuel's been treating uterine infections pretty damn well." I nodded and said, "Leave Adam so I can have something warm to lie on."
Adam wrapped himself around me and I held on tightly, trying to soak up his body heat. I had taken pheromones and all and I really didn't understand what was causing such a heat. My stomach ached and Adam tried to brush if it would help at all. I could feel the rotting uterine horns quite clearly and I was just wondering where the hell this bloody infection was coming from.
Charles came in and said "I'm going to take these blood tests that Samuel asked for and he said into a warm bath. And we'll wait for the results and see if we don't have to operate." I said "Charles, try it, here's one uterine horn, it goes all the way down to here, it's sore as hell, full of pus and here on the other side it's the same thing, now I don't know how long it's going to be before this one bursts. But take the tests and please tell Samuel what you felt." Charles was groping and cursing so quietly I couldn't quite hear.
He said " Fine, missy, you're not getting out of that bed. I'm not going to stress those and take these blood and then tell my brother what a difficult place we're actually in." He deftly took the blood and left me in Adam's arms and Adam began to hold me still again and watch that the horns on my uterus didn't burst and cause peritonitis.
Samuel and Charles both came in 10 minutes later and Samuel said "Let me do a little palpation and see what's going on here." I rolled off Adam a bit and winced as the pain hit me all over again. Samuel's hands were gentle and found both of my uterine horns but straight on.
His expression remained neutral and he said "Fine, I have a feeling we are going to cut your uterus off, those could start to drain down there too, I could do that too but it's not pleasant, and plus it could leave an infection site, now I'm going to go and get the medbay here in the wing sorted out and then I'll come and get you on the stretcher right away. It's no good straining them so they don't burst. "
Samuel left quite quickly with Charles for the medbay. I was just glad we had a lift because I was now on the first floor and the medbay was on the sixth. 20 minutes later the men came back with the stretcher and they very gently lifted me up on it and gave me a bit of a cover at least
. Samuel said "When we get there I'll put you to sleep right away and then we'll operate. After that, we will take a look at the situation. But it may be that once you've recovered you may get another heat pretty quickly because that heat didn't last more than two weeks." We went to medbay and Samuel quickly cannulated me, he had already prepared the supplies and took a full syringe and attached it to my cannula, and said "Sleep time, everything will be fine, don't worry." He pushed the plunger and I fell asleep.
Samuel took Mimi to the operating theatre and quickly and efficiently started the surgery with Charles' help. Together they lifted the huge rotten uterus and tied the base so that the rot wouldn't leak elsewhere and they were able to cut it out. Samuel lifted it into the container and then gently poked. The uterus about exploded, and the smell was awful.
Charles put it in a multiple plastic bag and tied it carefully. Samuel cleaned up the remains and said " I'm not going to put any silver clips on now because she might get horny again soon and if she doesn't get horny again we'll see about that when we get a chance. Then I'll have to put the clips on and tie the hormones but I'm not going to do that just yet." They moved Mimi to the bed and put the antibiotics on the drip.
Samuel went to look at the test results and cursed to himself. Charles said, "What's wrong?" Samuel sighed and said " Remember when I said those cat genes were hidden, well they're not anymore. She's got those hormones again and that could be one of the reasons, she needs Salvatore or some cat shifter." Charles said " Fine well then we'll have to see if Salvatore is available when she's in heat. But what if he's not in the right mood?"
Samuel sat down and looked at his brother. "I don't know, we need to develop some kind of male cat hormone preparation that can be administered to Mimi's uterus in heat if there is no Salvatore to give it to her organically, now I know that Mimi saved several shapeshifters but one has been at the fleas since then and he is a lion. He could go but as I said. This is so fucking new to me too. I'm going to go and talk to this man and see if he can say anything." Samuel left the wing.
Charles let Mimi sleep, but he didn't give her any more medicine yet. Mirella was able to attend to Mimi once the smell of heat had dissipated.
I woke up in a hospital bed and I was cold. Mirella was sitting at the machine, looking at me. "Oh you're awake, I'll put that fever medicine on a drip, it's for Mimosa to make so it will bring your temperature down slowly, don't crash it so you don't get so uncomfortable. Once you get a bit stronger let's see if you can get something down and get moving. Your uterus is gone but you have the cat part back and that may have been the cause of that infection. " I waited half an hour and the cold went away and I didn't feel that tired.
Mirella helped me to sit down and brought me food and a drink. Fine, I had no problem with it. Then I got moving and Mirella said "The infection will soon be dealt with, you're in good shape so you'll get over it on your own". I then went about my business and actually cooked with Mirella.
We did two weeks of different recipes and I ordered some spices online for us to test. Mirella taught extensively about spices that are good for your teeth and that was another thing we did. Tooth ingredients. We tried out when to make which stuff and we put it in the analyzer and well some stuff worked and then some stuff didn't again.
What I knew how to do was poisons. I made a very comprehensive range of different poisons and Mimosa said "If Damon was a black mamba then you're a bloody viper." I laughed at that line. Yes, mimosa will come up with something.
When the men returned to the house Mirella and Mimosa went to the general area again and I actually went to the other house because I wanted to put my wings in order elsewhere. But then I ended up at the New Jersey mansion to continue the fleas and there's actually a really good gym to practice in.
In the second half, I have a running mat a demanding one and you can convert it, you get a damn good workout when you need it. The second hall was the fighting hall and you could punch and kick. I had a plate on the wall where if I kicked it, the sensor would tell me how strong my kick had been. These were installed by Magnjum and were often used when I needed to get in shape. I thought I'd do a bit of training at the gym and then work out in between.
I'd been here a week when Damon came into the house on his own. He said " Hey baby, you ran away somewhere. I thought I'd come and watch in case you got the heat on you since I hear you need a cat. " I said " Yeah, that was the line. Those genes came back. But I'm not feeling lustful yet. I'm actually going out for a day of Gym practice"
Damon looked at me for a moment and said " Fine, you just got yourself a partner in a fight. Bring it on baby, and show me what you got." Fine, our husband just more or less challenged us. I went to change into proper fighting clothes and went to the gym. We started fighting and pretty soon I realized this was definitely not in seduction mode.
Damon looked at me like a piece of meat and I started to smell a wet dog. But I was now not sedated or threatened in any way. There was no need to behave now and I let my rage come out. And I attacked. Damon took my attack and blocked every single one of my blows but he didn't have time to do anything but block.
Time to deploy our new secret weapon and give Salvatore a dose of poison. I attacked again and given the chance I knew the dose of poison was ready and I sank my teeth right into Damon's neck and bit down. And I broke away to a good distance to see what would happen.
I said lowly "I guess it's not so nice when the victim refuses to be the victim all the time, is it Salvatore? Now get yourself in order or the next dose will be coming soon. Now I'm not going to watch that behavior anymore. I've already told you, don't fucking give in to that bullshit. Fight the devil." Damon gasped for a while and then started to get his breathing right, the flushing from the poison started to subside and Damon looked at me murderously "Poison, baby, really. You begged for it. Then don't complain. I've said many times that it's up to you how I treat you, but you asked for it."
He attacked me with lightning speed and bit my shoulder, and then retreated. Fine, let's play a biting game. my Turn. I was in my seat and I knew that was a strong anesthetic but my rage punched through it. I thought of all the desperate things in my mind and faltered a little. Damon came closer and said " Go ahead baby, don't fight it, you can't fight that. "
Again he came closer and lightning-fast struck him with another poison in the neck and said "Rage, Salvatore, rage. When it is so well turned on, there are few medicines that work." I watched Damon's neck turn all grey and he cursed fiercely. I knew I couldn't kill him, but I could feel it.
Finally, he straightened up and looked at me, and said " Oh Mimi, you can do it, but let's play then" He attacked me and I dodged. I didn't take his bites, but he grabbed my head and twisted once, snapping my neck. I blacked out right away. I woke up in the same place and Damon was crouched next to me.
He said, "Let's get some compensation. Your rage is now hidden, you can't access it and I've shot you with 16 implants. I'm not telling you what they are and now we're going to fight baby, look at the remote, all you have to do is beat me and you're done. Then you can go to Samuel or wherever and he'll remove the implants."
I stood up and Damon walked a little ways away and said " Oops, I just activated one of the implants. Let's see which one." We started fighting and without my rage, I wasn't really resistant because he was activating implant after implant and most of them had been various sedatives and muscle relaxants. Damon did give me a piece of his mind and beat and kicked me mercilessly.
He kicked me in my stomach and back, and stomped on my body several times, making sure my bones were properly crushed. I did heal but as he didn't really give me much time to heal properly he had fired all the implants within an hour and continued to abuse me.
And then again he dragged me to the medbay and had me gelled. Thick, orange sedative jelly straight into my abdomen with a permanent drip and he rubbed and put heat wraps on to make sure the medicine was completely on.
Some implant was blocking my healing and Damon could come up to me and take my wrist and break it. And leave it in the wrong position. He said "Like I said, baby. You begged for it. You fucking poisoner. You're fucking crazy. You still think you're poisoning me. What is it baby, is it pheromone deficiency already? Oh, boy, addicted to those two pheromones, and you never even looked for them from me. Oh fuck, Mimi, you know how to piss me off so fucking much that I can't do a fucking thing about it. You fucking know what I am and what I'm like and then that pheromone trick. Oh fuck, you're a backstabber. And then you dare to tell me not to get angry. I'll fucking give you a six-month fucking session one day and then we'll see if Adam and Charles are any good after that." He raged and raved, he could still break my bones and the ones that were healing, break them again. And jelly. Now there were herbs involved and he'd brush them on my skin and blisters would pop and my skin would break out in a bloody mess. As my skin healed, his touch caused blisters again.
He looked at my skin again in disbelief and ran away. Hours later I heard Adam and Charles rushing to help. They took the jelly out of the drip and Charles said "I'm going to put you back to sleep for a while so we can get you some help. " Then I fell asleep as he put the needle in my vein and pushed the plunger all the way down.
They took Mimi into surgery again and sucked out all the jelly, put the bones in place, and drained all the pouches that their teeth were making. They kept Mimi asleep until it was all fixed and that took two weeks. Charles said to Adam "We need to talk to Mimi, it's not going to work. It might be better if Salvatore stays away from Mimi, I'll have to ask Samueli about the cat heat thing in case she gets a heat attack somewhere in the meantime Damon can't be trusted to take care of Mimi. He can't get into doctor mode anymore or he just doesn't want to."
Adam nodded and said "Damon has changed so much now, somehow he gets worse with each session as if they really destroyed what little humanity he might have left. " Charles said "It's just not going to be an easy conversation, but we have to be patient. Mimi is our number one and her well-being is at stake here." They nursed Mimi the whole time and when she was ready to wake up they took Mimi to one of the bedrooms now to wake up on her own.
