How do u love someone?

Part 3

I cried in agony wanting it all to be over   As he was just finishing inside me I felt a presence near us and he was flung backwards. I laid on the floor still as the figure came close to me. I growled defensively as a warning but soon smelled a scent I knew all too well. "Claude?" I whispered and looked up and his face came into view.
"Stay still Sebastian" he said taking his tailcoat off and laying it over my bottom half.

I saw him get up and tie the man to the tree then come back to me and sit beside me. If I told myself I would be comforted by Claude a year ago I would've skewered myself with a knife. I curled into a tight ball around him my head resting on his leg. "It's ok ur safe with me" he whispered
"Claudius?" I heard James' voice and fell unconscious.

When I finally woke I was in my bed and Claude's jacket was laid over a chair cleaned and in a plastic protective bag. Most probably Anna's doing to say thank u. I moved my hand and brushed soft locks of hair. I looked down to see Claude asleep leaning on my bed. I smiled slightly and ran a hand threw his hair. Now I looked closer it wasn't the obsidian colour I thought it was it had a purple hue threw.
Truth be told it looked more purple than black in this light.

He suddenly woke up and took my hand "how r u feeling?" He asked "why do u care u hate me" I said turning my back to him "I never hated u raven" he said making me freeze "u know?" I asked scared that he knew I was raven.

A long time ago me and Claude were dangerously in love with each other back then my hair was longer and I was in my female form.

He nodded and pulled me up so he could hug me "I thought i lost u forever" he mumbled I gulped and relaxed a little.
The next day I woke to find Claude gone but instead see James getting clothes ready for me. I sat up and squawked in surprise at the pain in my lower half. James nearly jumped out his skin and turned to me hand over his heart in a dramatic playful manor. "U scared me" he joked "who u? I doubt that James ur the hardest person to spook almost as much as Derek" I shot back playfully. 

He smiled and helped me dressed and held his arm out which I took and wobbled downstairs with him. Everyone was seated at the dining room table for breakfast even Claude who was between two empty chairs. I sat in between him and Derek while James seated the other side of him and next to Thowra.
I sat rather good considering my hips hurt a lot. That's when I noticed Claude had placed his tail coat to make it soft for me to sit. He glanced up at me and I mouthed a thank u earning a nod from him in return.
Later that day I was wandering when I saw Claude talking to something. Curiously I edged closer to see a small spider on his lap. He turned hearing my footsteps.
I sat beside him and curiously looked at the spider in his lap "this is Cathy my pet spider sorry I take her everywhere with me" he said I smiled as he placed her in my lap.
The tiny spider crawled up my arm and onto my shoulder making small hissy noises at me. I giggled and let her crawl back into Claude. I growled softly feeling a strange feeling within me. "Hey raven are u?........" he quickly covered his mouth and nose.

'Huh? Ah! I'm in heat!!' I quickly dashed inside to my room and crawled into my bed huddling in the covers.

A few hours later I heard a soft knock and Thowra came in. "Hey u ok?" He said. I growled softly and poked my head out "do u want me to stay with u? James is busy" he said.  I whimpered softly and crawled out the covers and cuddled with him.
demons tend mate with anyone they deem worthy but not our family we cared and protected each other so I had no fears with Thowra laying with me.

Although I have to admit he's a strange demon at times he tends to spend all day in the garden or in the stables behind the manor. Anyone would think he was an plant demon. None of my family seem to get along with him that well they mainly just tolerated him. He did have quite a free spirit personality and tended to be quite annoying when he really wanted to be.

He was a horse demon actually the only one in our family unless u counted Anna who was a unicorn. I sighed and nuzzled into Thowra he was surprisingly clean for being in the garden? I squirmed a little and settled with my head in the crook of his neck almost using him as a pillow. I could feel his heart eating as I started to drift to sleep. Even though he loved to annoy people he never did it with me and whenever I'm around him I get a calm feeling from just his aura alone.

He growled softly which I found comforting and his grip made me feel safe as I knew he was there protecting me.
I'm the only half female half male in my family and it was frustrating at times. But i knew that my family was there and they'd protect me from harm like when I was attacked. But somehow I can't help but feel an Attraction to Claude I mean he did save me.

Thowra isn't gonna like this one bit their sworn enemies
Never understood why though?
