Artemis Child Ch32

After hugging, Cory desided to take a look at my wounds. "Ok Gen, let me see where you are cut at." He said and broke from the group. From the small backpack that he never uses he pulled out a medical bandages and medical tape. "My shoulder is fine." I protested and pushed the bandages away. It actually was almost healed up, I could feel it sizzling shut slowly.

   He grabbed my hand gently, and pulled up the jacket sleeve, which had a blood stain on the sleeve. "I wasn't talking about your shoulder or cheek." The cut looked so cool, in a weird way. Puncture wounds twisted around my wrist, but they didn't hurt. The toxins didn't sizzle instead oozed out slightly being rejected by my body.

   "The toxins must not fully affect you, so you probably can't feel pain right here." His voice was so soft, I wanted to punch him for acting different. Instead of doing that I watched as he started to lean in and kiss my arm. I didn't know at the time but I wasn't into him like I thought I was.

  "What are you doing!?" I exclaimed and moved my arm. "Well, um..." He started and his face was flushed red now. "Saliva has enzymes that speed up healing, thats why parents kiss scuffed knees and stuff. Sorry if its weird." He said, with a nervous smile on his face. "You may proceed my warrior slave." I said in a louder voice that showed I trusted him.

  He started to lean in again, but i didn't move. A light peck, made goosebumbs climb up my back at a dizzling speed. Then more pecks moved around my arm, making my neck hairs stand up. *Bump Bump* It was a vastly different experience than I ever encountered, but there was something beneath the feeling that I didn't like.

  'Ugh I keep forgetting to breath.' I told myself and force a breath. Despite the jacket, and the tremendus heat coming off my body, the pecks felt so warm, so comforting, yet so electric and sense blinding.

   He soon stopped, but the new tingling feeling didn't fade. He wrapped it up In the bandages, and taped the ends to each other so it wouldn't come off. "There, hows it feel now?" He asked me, "Any pain starting to kick in?"

   I was about to say something that was on my mind, but instead played it off. "You did well my warrior slave." He gave me a confused look. "Thats the second time you have said that, what does it mean?" He asked me.

  "I am the ruler of all my friends, they are my slave, you are my warrior slave." I answered.

  ("mind if I take over?" "Nah.")

  "..warrior slave.. hmmm" She answered with a smile. "Special slave you are." She said in a funny Yoda voice. I couldn't help, but laugh at that.  "Cory." Andrew called, he looked kind of upset. "We need food, we won't be much good in a fight if we keep running on empty." He said, and made us all realise that we were all hungry. "I can cover that." Kaylyn said, and pulled out a small roll of hundreds. "ATM's are so easy to break into." She said and gave me a wink. Gena let out an annoyed huff.

   "Fine, lead us to someplace to eat." I said and gave into my stomachs grumbing.
  Soon we had arrived to an urban area, the place non-social tourist would go. This place had large resterants, bars, and movie theaters. No apartment places though, so this place was for day visiting. "Who wants to go to a buffet?" Toni asked pointing across the way to a building. "A buffet would give us more for our money's worth." He said trying to convince us.

   "I'm sold lets go." Andrew said and took the lead to cross the larger many lane streets. "I feel like walking now." Gena said and hopped of my back. She liked to walk across the streets, and watch as the cars get dangerously close.

  I kept an eye on her to make sure she didn't become a streetsweepers next problem. The buffet was pretty large, and the sign that held the name was red and white with two chinese symbols on it. The sign read: Grand Buffet.

   Walking in the building, we were greated by cold air, and the great smell of food. A middle aged woman greeted us, and gave use a wicked smile. She wore a red silk dress that had chinese art on it, her hair was wrapped into a bun, and a hair pin held her bang to the side. "Oh we have some teenagers, not very common here." She stopped and counted us, then smiled even wider. "Ah you are an a tripple date. I remember when I did that as a young lady." She said. "No wait it..." I was silenced by Gena clinging to my right arm, Kaylyn clung to my left, Gena glarred at her. Toni clung to Serena, which she for some reason clung back. "Ah a love triangle. How juicy." The woman said and waved for us to follow. "No wait, but its not..." No one was listening, and the girls were basically dragging me along.

   We were seated at a round booth, that was a maroon color wooden table that had a mahogony trim with designs. The table was a shiny marble with multiple candles on it. "This is called The lover's Special. So enjoy our food, and a waitress will be with you shortly." The hostess informed us and walked off.

   "Wait why do we need a waitress if its a buffet?" Andrew asked, but just shrugged off any ideas. Although when we sat down, a woman from around a desk arrived. "What kind of flower do you want?" She asked us with a happy tone. "Flower?" I asked. "I'm a warrior I can't have rabbit food." I said to her still confused. "No no, not to eat. Flowers for your table." She answered me. Out of the corner of my eye I glanced at Gena. 'Roses are classy, but to cliche. Tulips, they aren't lame right? Man I'm weird, worring about flowers.' I thought to myself.  "Can we get some purple Tulips?" I asked her and realised my voice was kind of high.

  She nodded yes and took off to get what I asked for. "Ok guys lets get some food." Andrew said and got up quickly.
