Chapter 9||A Day Out||

I took a breath, I'd convinced Adrian to let me shop by myself. I'm half demon for damn sake I can handle myself. Though my power is limited, I don't want to hurt our babe and because I'm also a reaper I don't know how to well, control my body enough not to hurt them. Can I be in my demon form and they be okay? Or will I hurt them if I run across the roofs? I'd rather take it easy, I need to speak to another demon and ask this shit. "Mrs?" I turned my head, Ceil? "Thorn." I corrected as he nodded, "alright, Thorn, I'm surprised to see you out?" He questioned as I hummed, "yes, I convinced my husband to let me do our shopping alone," I paled, we have too much work with Jack to pull away and I need to get flour, sugar, and some other ingredients. "I see, I am here in a small townhouse, just around the corner do you need a break?" I paused as he glanced at my stomach and I smiled at the boy; "thank you for the concern Ceil, a break would be nice." It would be nice to get to know him better. He gave a nod and motioned me to follow and I did. Whispers flooded quickly, the mortician's wife walking with the guard dog. The rude woman with a blunt mouth. That or whispers of an affair since I and his father knew each other. Which was stupid, we slipped into the estate and he looked pissed off. "Relax those come often." I spoke as he glanced at me, "they shouldn't." I chuckled, "yet they do because society is corrupted and cruel it will take the things it cherishes most and kill them." I spoke making his orbs widen as the demon stepped around the corner; "young Lord and Mrs," he paused and I chuckled; "Thorn." He nodded as Ceil hummed. "You have an interesting perspective, Mrs. Thorn." That's weird to hear, oh well. "Why thank you, also just Thorn I call you Ceil after all." Though you are not Ceil. He nodded smirking and had me follow; "Sebastian prepare us some tea." The butler bowed, "yes my lord," I followed him seeing the woman in red with a tall lean male with striking green eyes. Is he? Why would a reaper be playing butler? "Ceil! Oh, it's you again!" She chirped as I smiled and took my seat. "Hello, Madame my name is Thorn." I spoke as she hummed, "no last name?" She asked as I smirked; "that I do have, but I see no reason to use it. Unless you want my maiden name?" I questioned making her gaze narrow at my cheeky self. "Thorn I'd like to inquire about a rumor that was said as we walked over here." I glanced at the boy and nodded; "do you know my father?" He asked and the woman in red froze, my gaze softened at the child in front of me and I chuckled. "Yes I did," his orbs widened as I nodded at the butler thanking him for the tea. His brows knitted together as he tried to piece together what he wanted to say; "if you have something to say, then say it I care little for manners or social status. Why would I repeat anything you say? Unless to my husband of course, though he reads me better than any book so I wouldn't even have to say a word." His orbs widened and the woman took a seat, it was almost like a fire was lit behind those bloody orbs. "How did you know him?" She asked and I chuckled, "the parol, of course, he also looked into murders." She paused and raised a brow; "you were married so young?" I glanced at her and chuckled yet I didn't answer her, it bugged the woman as Ceil spoke; "what was your relationship?" He was hesitant and I was as well, I only wanted to say so much yet mean more than what these words would carry. "A very dear friend," was all I could say yet my tone held more, it carried how genuine I was and he relaxed as did the Madame. "Id never met your mother, but I knew of you both he'd always brag about how cute you were." He flinched at both but said nothing, his grin softened as I chuckled. "He'd come to the parol bragging about how proud he was about his family, he'd always make my husband laugh too. Truly a great man, and from what I could tell a great father." Ceil held a soft compassionate smile as my tea was gone and I slipped up. "It was nice talking with you, but I need to go before it gets dark." I added glancing out the window, how long was I hear? "Thorn you shouldn't be walking alone at night with this killer." I glanced at the boy running a hand over my stomach I grinned; "I'm a lot more capable than what you think Ceil, being pregnant will not stop me from defending my child or myself." I smirked seeing his orb widen as I left, okay I need to get this done quickly.

Adrian's gonna be worried, I sighed quickening my pace then paused. Not again, I cursed and my eyes glowed slightly. No get home, I shook my head and continued to the parol; then dipped into an alley, setting the groceries down I summoned a dagger to write off as easy. The figure passed and I had them in the ground dagger to the nape of the neck; "stop following me," I hissed out, then paused; "Sebastian?" He chuckled trying to pull himself but couldn't and I got offsetting the dagger away and helped him up. "Sorry," I spoke grabbing the groceries and turning to him. "But why are you following me again?" I asked as he paled, "the young master asked me to ensure your safe return." My brow twitched; "so this whole time that I've been feeling someone stalking me, were you?" I seethed as his orbs widened and he glanced away. "Yes My lady," my brow twitched again, "don't my lady me, also this is the second motherfucking time you've stalked me," I stated as he glanced at me as I stood with my hands on my hips. He paled not knowing what to say but set a hand to his chest and feign innocent; "but it was for your safety." I glared; "don't fake innocent with me, and kindly fuck off." I hissed as he hummed; "you're very rude." He stated and I chuckled; "and you call someone stalking you not? I treat others the way they treat me. Your job makes you be nice so I don't count that, but this shit, is stupid as hell. Undertaker wouldn't even do this." Because he knows I'm more than capable though I understand when I am bigger he might come with me more often. His orbs were wide as I tapped my foot; "nothing to say? Okay, I'm leaving, and don't follow me." I stated leaving the demon to gawk at me.

I climbed into bed cuddling into the silvernette. "Thorn your awfully late, what happened?" He asked wrapping his arms around me as I explained the whole ordeal and dark energy began to radiate from him at Sebastian following me. I shifted straddling his waist as he looked up and I cupped his face; "I handled it, so don't worry." His gaze softened as he leaned up cupping my thigh and waist; "I know, but I can't help but be worried, if this happens again let me know, teleport if you have to, alright?" I smiled resting my arms on his shoulders as he grinned setting his head to mine; "Alright," I spoke as he smiled softly.
