The Virus : Strain Z

Chapter 15

Hi y'all. I'm gonna try & do this chapter from Lux's point of view so please forgive me if it's crappy. I'm gonna do the best I can. This chapter picks up where the previous stopped.  Tell me what y'all think please.

I could feel him, Lupin inside me. Wanting out. Wanting Salia. I had to keep him in. I knew it scared her when he tried coming out because my eyes would turn black as obsidian. She was curious as well, I could tell. But I couldn't let her know about him yet. Not until I knew she loved me, flaws and all. Even then I might keep Lupin a secret. My inner demon.

I loved kissing her. She tasted like the richest chocolate and smelled like honeysuckle and the freshness after the rain. I loved everything about her, from her beauty to her moans when we kissed. Even the part she thought of as flaws were breathtakingly gorgeous to me.

Damn did she give me get me rock hard when she started nibbling and kissing on my neck. And if that thing hadn't interrupted she'd had been sucking and biting on my ear. She could turn me on like crazy and when she rubbed against me I had to fight to keep myself from taking her and to keep Lupin down deep and hidden. I was getting a hard on just thinking of it so I shifted around till it calmed down.

He wanted to kill Giyla and taste her blood in his throat. He wanted to drain her of everything and watch as her life left her eyes. I myself detested her and was revolted by her very being. She would follow me and try to thrust herself on me unable to understand that I wanted nothing to do with her.

I was glad that Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop agreed to let me be with her. Thankfully they knew everything about me...including Lupin. Everyone in my family had an inner demon. We had to be careful who we told though. I had to tell Salia's parents years ago when I knew Salia was the one for me. I made a blood oath to them that I would die before allowing harm to come to her.  I just wish we could have become a couple in a way other than the end of the world.

Mr. Winthrop had taken me into his study to talk privately when I first told him all those years ago. He told me he knew what I was because his father was the same. But because his father married a human it diluted the demon and was much easier to contain and control. His wife was the same way. There was a chance that Salia had one herself because both of her parent were half and half, but if she did have a demon it'd yet to make an appearance.

I had already told Tara. My little sister was thrilled I'd finally found my Kepta, my other piece. What normal people would call their SoulMate. She swore to keep talking to My Sals as if everything was normal and wait till Salia told her the news of us herself.

My parents were so overjoyed that my father couldn't speak and my mother was in tears. They both adored Salia and were ecstatic that she is My Kepta.

The only way to somewhat keep Lupin calm and hidden was to breath in Salia's addictive scent and I couldn't help but nibble and kiss her neck while already there.  Her eyes were so hypnotic I could feel myself being pulled in every time we locked eyes. She didn't even know how heart-stoppingly gorgeous she was. Every time I saw her I could feel Lupin stir around, craving her touch, her voice, everything.  He'd never been interested in any other female. Nor had I. No matter how many had thrown themselves at me we'd only been disgusted by them.

As Salia stepped out of the bathroom in that barely there gown I felt Lupin tearing and snarling to get out and it took all my willpower not to rip the gown from her luscious body and take her then and there.

Tara had already confided in me that she was terrified she wouldn't be able to control her inner demon Nytr. Her demon would be at full strength at midnight on her twentieth birthday, which was in eight months,or whenever she met her Kepta. Whichever happened first. She also worried that her Kepta might end up being an infected as sometimes they are human. I had no words to comfort her then.

The way we are able to tame our inner demons is to become one with our Kepta and to reveal ourselves to them. But if your Kepta rejected you, both you and your demon would die. Your demon would die first, agonisingly slow as you felt it. And then you would die.  I could only pray that Salia wouldn't reject us when I finally told her the truth.

Some good came though of Lupin, I had accelerated healing and knew that by morning my arm would be almost completely healed. I tried to think of a way I'd explain it to my sweetheart but was coming up blank.

Salia started moving around, whimpering some as she trembled. I wrapped myself around her whispering that everything was ok. Lupin was very upset that our Kepta was plagued by nightmares and wanted out to try and stop them himself. I forced him back down telling him I was stopping them the only way possible, by comforting her. I could hear him grumble and scratch about, still arguing that his way could have worked too. I had to tey and convince him you can't really kill nightmares. He finally calmed down as I buried my nose in Salia's neck and breathed deeply to take in as much of her scent as possible. As she relaxed so did I and I felt myself drifting off to sleep.

Just before I fell asleep Lupin told me, 'You will have to tell her of me and let her see me and I her one day soon you know. It must be before we take her else it will risk her life as well if she rejects us' he growled softly. I decided that before her birthday next month I would show her who I truely was and deal with the consequences. I fell asleep before I could tell Lupin of my choice
