Guardian's Obsession (Yandere Naga x Reader)

Chapter Twenty Four ~ Of All The Outcomes...

( Y/N POV )

Huffing Y/N sat up on her elbows looking at the opening leading out of the large bed chamber, she was beginning to get anxious now; it had been dark out for a while and Karn was still not back like he had been doing. With what they spoke about as well a thousand thoughts kept swirling in her head leaving behind a deep pounding pain, was he killing some poor lost traveller now or playing his sick game of cat and mouse? The thought made her feel sick but there was nothing she could do, if she left the den Y/N knew it would be her would be on the receiving end of pain; knowing full well how little it took to provoke Karn's possessive nature since surrendering herself back to this life. With a deep sigh she pushed herself up hoping a soak in the warm water of the bathing pool would help, if she could relax a little more she might be able to sleep. But of course luck wasn't on her side. Almost as soon as she was about to turn into the steaming space a loud wail echoed on the walls, the sound of a young voice begging and struggling making her heart race; the pain in each word made her feet turn as she instinctively started to go to the source. "REMAIN WHERE YOU ARE Y/N!" The thundering voice was like glue sticking her feet to the floor, Y/N could hear he was furious with something and could only guess whoever he had caught was giving him nothing but trouble; or something had gone wrong with his plans. That meant nothing good for either her or his newest victims, and as much as her chest hurt wanting to go and try to help the poor soul he had dragged into the den she knew better; if she left the room Karn would follow through on his threat... the thought alone of having the leash back on made Y/N shrink further from the doorway. The continued screams and sounds of struggles made it more and more difficult for her fear to win out, flashes of her friends and her own ordeal battering her mind despite trying to push them back; even the sounds fading as they went deeper into the den did little to help but eventually she managed to pull herself together again. Eyes locking on the doorway Y/N retreated to the bed as her mind slowly turned, plans pulling together on how she could get to whoever was in Karn's clutches; maybe if he was called away she would have time to get them loose and give them a chance at escape. Whatever she did though needed to be done with great care, if she got herself chained again she wouldn't be any help to anyone; even whoever was crying and begging in the distance. The sound continued to ring around the entire den and finally Y/N had to cover her ears in an attempt to push them away, pulling herself into a little ball and closing her eyes tightly fighting tears; the guilt of knowing someone was in pain and she was doing nothing to help burning her from the inside out. 

When slick clawed hands gently forced hers away from her ears Y/N jumped eyes snapping open, Karn was there of course his face a calm mask as he looked her over slowly; something close to concern shining deep in his eyes even as his fingers began to stroke over her cheeks wiping away tears. The action spread sticky wetness over her skin and despite knowing she shouldn't Y/N tried to pull away, she didn't have to look at his hands to know they were smeared with blood; the thick dampness was too familiar now after so many encounters. Y/N tensed expecting some kind of reprimand but it never came, instead his lips pursed into a deep line as his arms came around her lifting her from the bed furs; his arms banded around her forcing Y/N to press into his hot chest. The same sickening wetness greeting her skin as it soaked into her coverings, the metallic smell burrowing into her nose and despite trying to hold it back the tears returned; Y/N hated that smell with a deep rooted pain that came with the memories it always pulled forward. Karn said nothing as he clawed off her coverings letting the tatters fall to the floor, the silent flutter of cloth leaving Y/N to shudder despite the steam filled offering a comforting heat; but even as Karn entered the bathing pool letting the water engulf much of her skin Y/N still shuddered under his claws as he began to caress her. There were no words as he rested her body on his coils, or when he began to slowly almost agonizingly so began to wipe the blood from them both; and Y/N made sure to watch him the entire time. He didn't normally act this calm but then this situation was new, this was the first time he had brought a person back to the den where she was forced to hear their screams; she knew he was still the monster guarding its home. But since she came back he had never done it where she could see or hear. "You have done well Little One" The words vibrated through her as Y/N glanced up finding Karn watching her, his eyes were warmer again with a light smile on his face but the look did nothing but unsettle her; there was still blood on his face from what she could only think was splatter. Not sure what she would say to that Y/N decided to turn away, it only opened the door to unwanted attention though as lips and fangs began to pay attention to her shoulder; trying to pull away with no good as usual it only hurt her to fight his grip. Releasing a frustrated sigh Y/N tried to wiggle as far from Karn's body as possible, it wasn't very far even with only one arm around her waist but it was enough for now. "Please Karn I'm tired, I just want to sleep" There was a second of tension before Karn moved his tail lifting her to stand in the pool on her own, his tail remaining softly around her centre as he moved lower in the water; his hands now working to clean himself. "We will sleep soon, clean yourself Mate; I know the blood from those I dealt with is bothering you" Sagging at his dismissive tone Y/N went to her knee's, moving her hands over to scrub away the blood like he said; not willing to fight when all she wanted was to try and sleep.
