Tears and Drops for Abyss

Chapter 4 Delightful Darkness

It's 7:30am and Lucille stirs awake on her living room couch. "Ohm? 20 minutes to make the pancakes, 14 minutes to have 'pancakes'. Ohoo~ 7 minute recovery after such a ravishing time. Sigh~" mutters Doku, as she lets Lucille fully come awake on her own. "Bah! What's the time?!" In this wonderfully calming manner, Doku says "It's ok, your ok. It's 7:30, you've only been at rest for 7 minutes. You're ok" while then moving over to sit on the edge of the sofa closer to Lucille's face/torso, a hand gently patting her back too.

Just the nature of Doku's voice calms Lucille, her pulse raised but she seems much more at ease. "Gr-r-raduation is at high noon, sharp. I should already be ready and almost be there I-" Doku cuts Lucille off but softly putting her index finger on her bottom lip. But through the motion, Lucille can tell this isn't sexual or at least for right now. "Hey, hey, listen to me please: that's 3 and a half hours away, you have time. You don't need to stress yourself so hard like that, ok?" And with that Lucille begins to cry, pointing out that "Y-you are a demon, summoned t-t-through sacrifice n gave me all this sexy p-pleashure, now you're this soff calm figure by my side? What giiives!" Said through tears like that, gave Doku reason for pause. 

"You know, I am multidimensional. I'm not just here for sex or hedonism. Being bound to you by your blood, what do you think that means, huh?" "That... you're gonna do whatever I say?" "Well yes, but I can disobey. The ritual that brings me here, your blood was something to anchor to me through that portal; the very nature of the ritual was for me to be wish fulfilment to the person I'm bound to. Being a bloodbound, means I protect you and am your servant as token of appreciation for allowing me back to this living world. If I'm truthful the place where I was before the ritual, and end up being returned to, was/is no fun or any sensation at all. Just kind of like 'nothingness' without the sense of peace..." "Wait, juust protect?" "Yeah?" "But you've also been caring to me?? Without obligation???" "Also yes." "Why're caring then? What's your motive huh?"

Doku just sighs before saying "You think I have an agenda, huh? What kind of sh- No I don't have a fuckin, I forgot the words, uh a fuckin arrière-pensée? Yeah that on in English." After a blank look from Lucille, Doku the proudly announces "ulterior motive, that's the fucker. Yeah I don't got one of those, just seeing as we're bloodbound, we may as well get along y'know? Not hard to just be nice... Wait does that make me sound cocky? Screw it I guess am now." Doku then realises two things: she's talked loads and secondly that Lucille's shocked, even shaken. "You good up there?" Pointing to her head but she's even become slightly pale, as she's zoned out.

Doku gets close up to Lucille's face which makes her flinch enough to zone back in "Wh-?!" "My dear master, are you ok? You zoned out and looked shocked at what I said. About being nice and not needing a reason or ulterior motive? Is that not a common enough thing anymore among humans?" "Well it's not like I can say so, I'm not allowed out much." "Oh fuck, have interhuman relations become that bad?? Have I been brought 147 years since last into a more hellish society than before?" "W-well, no. Hu-People, are much more closer in a way or two." Doku just squints as if what she just heard was the most suspicious thing ever and decides to more fully read Lucille's mind. "Oh" is all Doku says when she gets the answers she sought and now regrets getting. Saying "Your parents didn't let you out, without a fully charged phone that they otherwise didn't let you have, even now." "Y-yeah. You reading my mind huh?" 

Doku continues on "Sorry, yes. I was concerned there was something very wrong and I can see my concerns are on the money. You live like that? Unable to go out, have to do all the chores, all your homework- I must ask: are you sure you're not a slave they just brought?? Even hitting and fear of your own fa- I'm sorry if saying/recounting all these words and facts upset you, I'm just so bewildered at the sheer abuse..." Lucille has a little tear in her eye which Doku wipes away with her sleeve's cuff without even blinking, in a very automatic fashion. Then ever so gently holding her face once the tear is wiped away. "I thought I was treating you so roughly and was overstepping boundaries, but, I can see that was the gentlest you'd been treated your whole life. I- I'm sorry. That you had to go through this and I cannot stand for this." their hands joined, Lucille can feel the atmosphere change. "Hey w-what's wrong? Did I fuck up again? I'm sorry I-"
