Chapter 35: Relieved


    ir stuck her head out of the vent looking. She saw a man with his back to her. A pillowcase on the


    floor he was looking through it. One of his guns behind him on the floor. ir held out her hand and it


    zoomed to her noiselessly. She put the strap over her shoulder as she held herself there by her legs.


    She climbed down to her little home and stored it there. Never know when one mighte in handy.


    She went out the other side. There had been no gun fire for some time now and she was starving. She


    couldn''t remember when she atest. She knew that the fifteen minutes were well over. She just didn''t


    know where Isaiah was or the hell hounds.


    She wasn''t really worried about getting shot. She went into the kitchen and made herself some food


    and downed it. She grabbed the milk and was bobbing her head to a tune that only she could hear. She


    moved around the center ind cleaning up her mess. The ck granite counter tops free of debris


    she leaned against the one counter and looked up.


    She was staring at the pots and pans, and thought that it might be fun to draw them in some abstract


    way. Their shadows leaving a very interesting design. She felt Isaiah then, he was moving through the


    house not far from her. He was a jumble of emotions though none really out shining the others. He


    seemed rather worked up for some reason.


    The hell hounds she could feel a cold joy running through them. She didn''t think that the men in the


    house would have guns much longer. ir stayed where she was for a few more minutes, and then


    moved around the kitchen to leave. Isaiah popped up in the doorway and she let out a sharp cry of


    surprise. He must have been moving very quickly through the house to just show up here that fast. He


    just grabbed her lifting her up and moving back set her down on therge center ind.


    He moved very quickly pushing her farther back on the counter with a bit of force and came up after


    her. She didn''t know what he was doing. His eyes were solid ck. She could feel reliefing from


    him so strongly it was infecting her, as was his desire. He felt wild, something she hadn''t felt from him


    before.


    "You couldn''t possibly know how d I am to see you alive right now." He said, bringing his mouth to


    hers and forcing her down. He tore at her clothes like a wild animal. Shredding it and his own, he had


    no care about anything right now. Just that ir was here and he could have her body. He could


    relieve the tension in him, he was more than high strung right now.


    Isaiah, had remained frozen in ce for a good amount of time. The second that he''d been freed he''d


    torn through the house. Found one man, killed him to feed in a rather savage way. Then tore through


    the rest of the house to find ir. Killing wasn''t going topletely relieve the tension in his body. It


    wasn''t going to stop the surge from the drugs and potion they put in him to reinstate the ritual.


    He''d been so relieved to see her. He''d known that she wouldn''t have been caught by them. There was


    still that small part that wondered for sure. He couldn''t know until he came upon her body. They''d killed


    Leanne mistaking her for ir.


    The hell hounds were looking for the men that hade into the house. He could hear the fighting and


    noise telling him they found a few of them. Isaiah shut it out. He just wanted the woman before him. He


    didn''t hesitate to take her either. This would be the fastest he''d manage to calm himself. It would be a


    while before the drug ran its course but he''d be more in control.


    He put both his hands in the thick mass of her hair on either side of her head. His body already moving


    in hers. Why did she feel so damn good? What was it about ir that no other woman seemed to


    have? Her body gripping his so perfectly. The soft moist heat of her felt incredibly good every damn


    time. Like she was made for him. She fit him perfectly and he just couldn''t help the uncontroble


    desire for her that seemed to grow worse every time.


    Her sounds of pleasure just drove him on, desiring more, needing more. His hands dropped to the


    counter above her shoulders. He felt his hands curve slightly, his nails digging into the granite. He had


    ws sharper than knives in his other form and right now they''d sliced into the counter top. He moved


    one hand to her hip raising her slightly to take her deeper.


    Isaiah felt her body contract around his, and she gave a deep moan. The cry caught in her throat. His


    mouth moved over the front of her throat then. He however followed, his release quick and sharp. He


    pulled from her hopping down from the counter. She moved, and seemed rather dazed at the moment.


    He just picked her up, taking her with him through the house. She gave a cry of surprise as he picked


    her up.


    He wasn''t finished with her yet not by far. He didn''t even speak to her as he tossed her in the bedroom


    he stopped at, pinning her face down and forcing his body back into her. This was what he needed right


    now, and she would give him what he wanted. He needed to control the darkness inside of him or go


    feral and ir was the perfect one to use for this.


    __ir__


    ir moved through the library going over the books there. She was frustrated that they didn''t seem to


    tell her much about reapers. After the other day she needed to know more about this ritual. She wanted


    to know more about Isaiah. Just what made him work, she had yet to run into one of the men who''d


    come in and killed off most of those here.


    That had been two days ago. She was rather d that Isaiah was normal again. Well as normal as he


    could get. She''d stayed with him the past two nights. Though the second night she''d been surprised


    when he only wanted her presence and nothing more.

    Gamma was downstairsying on the floor. Beta was here as well but he was staring up at therge


    firece like he found the design of the bricks very interesting. She''d wondered what hell hounds did


    with their free time. They tended to sleep or stare at things. She was growing discouraged looking but


    something inside told her she was in the right area now. Her intuition telling her so.


    ir found a book that was very old and had a ck leather cover. She flipped it open. It was in the


    ult section. She''d spent yesterday and the better part of today looking for anything that would help


    her. The moment she flipped this open she knew that she would have at least a little to work with.


    About time, she''d been in here for hours.


    She moved down the stairs and sat down in a chair to read. Gamma didn''t know a lot about reapers


    just that she knew that Isaiah was one. She said that only reapers could tie a hell hound to them with a


    simple taste of blood. Hell hounds otherwise could choose who they wanted as their master. She hadn''t


    wanted to belong to a reaper.


    ir read through the book, it was hard to read as it was handwritten. Still she got a few bits of good


    information assuming that it was true. Reapers it seemed were the personification of death. If brought


    to the human ne they would need to live off the energy of the living to keep themselves sane and


    functional.


    Reapers had many different talents. Able to hypnotize with a look and read the minds of others. Now


    ir knew why she didn''t like to meet Isaiah''s gaze. There was also a small note that once they made


    a promise they were bound by it until it was fulfilled. ir figured that was a big definite to say what he


    was.


    She read on but it was confusing at parts. It looked like some of it might be how to summon a reaper.


    ir would never want to do such a thing. Why would you want to bring a creature that''s sole purpose


    of living was to take lives?


    ir looked in the front to see if there was an author of the book. She noted one name scribbled in the


    corner of the inside cover. Athena Greitio, she had written much about mythical creatures. A few she


    noted that she wasn''t sure they existed.


    There was aplex list of things that one would need to ensnare a reaper. It looked like either you


    called one yourself. Gave it specific instructions so it could find no loophole to kill you. Or you went


    through a veryplicated sacrifice and ritual. This woman had seemed obsessed with them, clearly


    she''d been nning something.


    ir tapped her lower lip as she read. You''d have to trap them with the blood of their own line but not


    directly from them. The blood offering wasn''t enough. You''d also have to kill the sacrifice, with death


    you caught death. Who in their right mind would go through all of this?


    ir closed the book. She didn''t want to read the gory details of how one went about setting up the


    ritual. Or managed to get a hold of the child of a reaper. ir wondered just who they''d used to get


    Isaiah in here. It was no easy thing for a reaper to even have a child in the human world it seemed.


    She''d looked at the description and it was long and specific. So much so she wondered how Isaiah had


    even found a woman like that in the first ce.


    This woman had looked into a lot of different things. She was fascinated by them it seemed and she


    looked to know what she was talking about. Most of it she could see in Isaiah. How aggressive and


    territorial they could be. The looking human but not really.


    She read a little bit more then put the book back deciding to take a walk around the house. The hell


    hounds looked at her but stayed where they were as she left the room. It wasn''t so bad being here in a


    way. You didn''t have to worry about work or money or other trivial things. Just life, just how you were


    going to survive and she thought that she had a good while left at the moment.


    ir needed a bit of time to think about this book and find more. She was stuck here, and she needed


    knowledge. If things were going to keep happening, or that family showed again, she needed to be


    ready for what they might do. She''d also have to avoid being seen.
