Redemption

Deadly temptation

Mackenzie was hesitant to open her eyes when she first a woke. She wasn't sure if she were dead and she was afraid were she was if she did happen to do. She pryed her eyes open to find her self swaddled in the softest cotton. On further inspection, she found she was in a simple hammock, inside a tent. Not the weirdest place she had woken up in but still strange. She was wrapped in a simple pink cotton blanket. Completely naked under neath. The sent of cherries surrounded her when she sat up and she immediantly knew were she was.

What kinda leader was he? Living in a tent. Sleeping in a hammock, with only a small table and a few books. Where was his riches? The throne he'd demand since he had fallen. The lines of women ready to do his every command.

The last idea made her stomach roll. Maybe that's what he had dibs on her for. They used women for sex. Turned them into whimpering animals. She almost gagged at the idea. She needed to get out quickly. She would steal some supplies for herself and E-.

She paused. The ache in her heart swelled up. She lost her breath as the tears threatened to consume her. Eden was gone. She was alone. There was nothing to hold her back. This was His fault. Their fault. It they hadnt showed up and stood aroumd like idiots she'd still be alive. She'd still have her little Eden.

She let the anger simmer deep down. She'd need it later. Now was the time to destroy. She moved slowly, unsure of anything. She wasn't tied up. She couldn't hear anyone outside. She assumed she was alone. So her nakedness wouldn't be an issue.

She eased herself up. The wound in her side had sealed. Meaning they saw her power. Knew what she was.

They saw her naked!

She'd make them pay extra for that. Her weapon was gone. So where her clothes so she'd have to make due. She pulled the zipper of the tent to let the warm morning air in.

Only to stumble back when she saw a waiting Lucas on the other side. She snatched the blanket and covered her arms. Just in case. He smiled at her. She found he had a toothy grin. One incisor sharper than the other. Relatively cute to some girls she guessed. Mackenzie felt an unusual blush steal across her cheeks and she cursed herself for it.

"Good morning Ms Kenzie." He greeted her

"Well... Good morning Lucas," She regarded him calmly, stepping from the tent " How long was I out?"

He chuckled, suddenly taking an interest in his nails. " Oh, I'd say a few days. Two or three."

"Oh."

"Wolfe took care of you. As you can see. He almost never left your side, and if he did I looked after you. Like now."

He threw a knife at the ground suddenly. She didn't see him draw one. It stuck from the ground, handle up.

" I'm supposed to bring you straight to Wolfe but I'd prefer taking you on a private tour." He smiled at her offering a hand. She didn't move to take it, Fully aware of her nudity. She was lead to believe he didn't yet notice. Or she hoped that was the case.

He blushed suddenly realizing her hesitation. He shrugged off his jacket, handing it too her.

"Here take this. Your clothes were to bloody and torn so we burned them. Use the blanket as a skirt or something. I'm sure Wolfe wont mind."

She took it graciously, going back inside the tent. She ripped a long piece a fabric from the blanket forming it into a bandana like shirt that would wrap around her chest, Covering the red swirling marks. She slipped on the jacket finding it fit snuggly to her body. She did her best to make a skirt that wouldn't fall off. When she emerged again she couldn't help but feel like an idiot.

"Beautiful," He laughed holding out his hand. She took it throwing a look at him that would kill.

They started walking together toward what looked to her like a little city. There was a building that looked like an abandoned medical center, a grocery store, prehaps a bar. Everything looked like a pile of junk, but there wasn't much nice in the world left. Men stood around everywhere. Laughing, Fighting, Looking depressed as hell.

The tent was in a fairly secluded area. Far from the make shift town. Steel walls were stood up all around. The only protection from the outside world. Lucas was telling her about each place, the people, the resources. All she cared about was escaping. Secretly Wolfe as well. Without her noticing they turned down an alley between two buildings. There was barely any light and Lucas was standing closer.

"You know your a special girl right? Everyone wants you. But only Wolfe gets you. Persoanlly I dont think it's fair. But who wants a fight with Aciel.-"

"Who's Aciel?"

He laughed "Let me finish. I'm just saying, We can't touch you. No body can. Your under his protection. But that doesnt stop you from touching other people for the fun of it. Even if you dont wanna touch anyone else I can make sure of it."

She stood confused. He had leaned closer his gaze darting all over her face. His breathe was heavy and she realized what he was gonna do. She tried stepping back but found herself against a wall. She couldn't stop him. She'd kill him if she tried and that would ruin all the plans.

He kissed her then. Softly, deeply. She felt it in her toes, Fires dances in her veins. It tasted evil. Like a demon possesed kiss. His lips felt soft and firm and demanding. She tried standing her ground but the tug and pull of his teeth coaxed her lips apart forcingly.

Lucas was torn away from her suddenly. The walls and ground shook. A bright light pierced her eyes. She heard a growl of anger. A sudden roar of fury.

"Touch her again and I'll fucking feed you to the beasts piece by driveling piece!"

It was Wolfe screaming in the face of Lucas. His fist was arounf his throat. He was partically naked. 'He was probably fucking one of his sluts' she silently sneered. An odd feeling bubbled inside her and she turned away. Lucas was shaking. Wolfe was as well, with anger. His eyes glowed black as night and his light was starting to dim. Lucas was nodding his head. Whimpering like a dog.

Wolfe turned away from him to her. He walked past her grabbing her arm. He growled again when he found her wearing Lucas' jacket.

"Come with me. We'll get you cleaned up and safe. New clothes as well."

On instinct she yanked her arm away, but followed with the promise of real clothes, and possibly food.
