Between Heaven And Hell

Chapter 10

Shar lay there watching Esme sleep. She was just glad her angel stopped crying. Esme softly snuggled into her. Shar drifted in and out of sleep. She quickly gave up on fighting it. Relaxing in the presents of Esme, she decided to enjoy it while she could. Her eyes closed softly as she drifted into a deep sleep.

Steam made the room heavy and hot. Sulfur and brimstone. Leather and chain. Strong scents wafted everywhere in the small room. Red and white candles softly lit the room. Heavy boots could be heard as the old iron door swung open. The figure's shadow fell upon a body lying on a marble table in the center of the room. The intruder strode into the room proudly. It stopped at the foot of the table. "Had enough yet my good girl?" A leather fray was slapped across the girl lying on the table.

Shar slowly opened her eyes to see her teacher standing there. Her mind raced. It felt so many emotions. So many she hadn't had for a while. Well, sense Vivian. "Kat?" she whispered softly as she tried to control herself. Her world spun and she felt the toxin take over. Her human body craved.

Kat slowly straddled Shar's slender form. The soft leather of her skirt creaked. Her black eyes set on Shar's face. Shar couldn't control herself. Her arms wrapped around Kat's neck as she pulled her in for a hard kiss. Kat's hand trailed down her skin. She grinned at Shar as her slender fingers pressed into Shar's soft core.

Shar's eyes opened as she jumped up. Her breathing was heavy. Shar looked over at Esme sleeping softly. She looked angelic. Shar softly ran a hand down Esme's figure. She smiled in her sleep and pressed into Shar's touch. Shar laid down with her arm around Esme. But she refused to fall back asleep.

Dawn's light spilled into the room. Shar got up, she had to get home. As her hand hit the doorknob Esme rolled over, "Where you going?" She said as she rubbed sleep from her eyes.

Shar looked softly at her. "I need to go home, I will be back to pick you up for school."

"No just give me a minute to get dressed." Esme sat up in bed still half asleep. Shar was about to argue when Esme walked over and pressed a finger to her lips. "Just a minute." She quickly changed as Shar tried not to look. Esme popped up from behind the bed. "Ready!" she flashed Shar that one-of-a-kind smile.

"Why did you have to go home again?" Esme asked as she flipped on the apartment lights.

"To feed Persia." Shar said simply. "Please just sit and relax Esme." Esme sat quickly as Shar walked into the kitchen. Her eyes quickly scouted the room and she noticed a piece of paper on the table. It was a handwritten letter. The acid green ink flowed beautifully across the lavender paper.

Sharlotte,

Hope this finds you well. considering sadly I missed you last night. Didn't think you were on a job, so I thought I would stop by. Guess you were busy. Catch you later good girl. Boss has some work for us.

Kat

Shar's jaw dropped. Kat...here...no. The color drained from her face. She slowly put food in the bowl. Persia jumped up onto the counter and rubbed against her hand. "Hi there Persian, how are you doing girl? You must be really hungry to come out so quickly." She buried her hand in the soft white fur. "Well, I gotta go. Take care of yourself. I should be home soon." She kissed the cat softly on the head. "You ready Esme?" She asked as she walked into the living room. Esme sleepily nodded as she followed her out.
