Threat of Annihilation

Chapter 8 - History

Warning: Swearing, violence, murder, smut

She held me close, another mind numbing session having taken its tole. Only now had I regained my ability to think and move. My ladies fingers ran along my hair as my wounds healed, it was nice, but everything was changing and I could understand my lady better for it.

There was a purge in the police force, all people connected to the monster disaster were getting hunted and arrested. The superiors from before who plotted to drive officers away from the most active areas of the cult were already detained, not that they'd be missed.

It seems this has been going on for a while but their endgame of summoning the demon they worshipped is what's lead to their demise. I doubt anyone who was involved will be able to escape now that Marigold and the Council are involved.

At the thought of how capable everyone on the council has been with supporting the civilians who lost their home and possessions I couldn't help but look up at my lady. She has been instrumental in the defeat of the monsters and repairing the City. The disaster itself barely lasted an hour with her here. I nuzzle into her every so slightly, what would we all do without her?

I glance and see she is still looking through the documents Lady Blanka had given her. I can't read them, legally and literally, but my curiosity was always debunked by the adorable way my lady acted, so pleased and overjoyed to be given work by Blanka, I let out a small chuckle.

"What amuses you?" She said calmly turning a page. I thought about answering honestly, how I found her obvious love for Blanka adorable...she turns so polite and it's just nice to see. But she'd probably kill me if I said something like that... Who in their right might would believe someone who's happy for someone their involved with to be in love with someone else? Maybe I am crazy.

"Nothing my lady." I say carefully, she luckily doesn't press further.

I check the large clock on the wall, sighing as I move out of my ladies arms and off of the bed, collecting my clothes from the ground and fixing them with my magic. I began to slide on my shirt, everything else still in pieces when I heard my lady close the document obnoxiously loud.

"And what, pray tell, do you think you are doing pet?" She interrogates, I turn around nervously and good lord her eyes were looking right at me with displeasure...this is not going to end well...

"My lady...I um... I had prior plans to this..." It is true. I was on my way out to enjoy my day off when the corridors morphed as they always did when my lady desires a brawl, only it escalated into, well...this whole situation.

She placed the papers down, looking at me intently, I gulped. It felt stupid now, but a whole street of shops perfect for thrifting were open today and I didn't know when I'd next have a day off on this particular day of the week..."

"So me taking you here is a nuisance?" My eyes went wide.

"NEVER MY LADY!!!" I said whole heartedly. She however did not respond, scold or choke me, but rather went back to reading her document with not so much as a pout.

"Do you want me to stay my lady..?" I asked, she simply acted as if I was not there, but her displeased demeanor was as clear as day.

I slowly walked back to the bed, approaching around to the side my lady rested in, carefully tracing a knuckle over her thigh before resting the back of my hand on it.

"If you ask me too stay, I will my lady. Anything for you." I looked up at her, but nothing. She didn't even acknowledge me.

"Does that document give you better company than me?" I ask, getting a little frustrated. But still no response. She just continued to read.
