Slave To The Darkness

"Lobsters can be territorial. Since we do not want them to kill each other I will make sure they cannot open their claws using magic." Cedric dumped in another bucket and held his hand out. "You are now unable to use your claws to harm the rest of my food." After that, a slightly bigger boat sped up to him and then stopped next to him.

The man on the boat s.h.i.+ned his light at Cedric and Yuki. "Oh, I am sorry, Sir. I thought that you were a poacher. There has been a bit of an issue with that. Sorry for startling you." He s.h.i.+ned his light off of the two.

"It is not a big concern. I will be out here for maybe a week. I am on a cruise with my fiance. Claude and his girl will also be out here. If we catch anyone stealing from our traps I will catch them and call you right away." Cedric waved up at the guy.

"Thank you so much. I know that you allow Liam to take seafood from your traps and that is between the two of you but he takes just enough for his family. It is a great help that you are here." He bowed then waited.

"It is good to meet you, I am Yuki. I do hope that you are able to catch the guys that are doing this." She bowed and then looked at Cedric.

"Do not fret love. Between the four of ,we will be able to catch them. Claude will insist on setting up camp to monitor the traps. He will not like someone stealing his food. Tyler, these traps are empty but the one set up to the east are set up but not emptied. I would watch that area. I will be sending Claude to that area when he arrives, I know that you can not watch them all night but it gives you an area to watch." Cedric wrapped his hand around her waist.

"Thank you. I will check over there before I go inland. Again, I am sorry for startling you. Please have a good evening." Tyler tipped his hat and left the couple to go back to what they wanted to do.

Cedric went to the steering wheel and drove back to the s.h.i.+p. "Well that was a bit of an adventure. Poachers are normal around here that is one of the reasons I let Liam set up my traps. I know the kid will not take more than he needs but also I know that the poachers will be more tempted hitting my traps as they will be full of sea life."

"That makes sense to me. I am just glad that you will be able to catch them. I do not want you to get hurt so please be careful." Yuki placed her head on Cedric"s back.

"I wouldn"t get hurt so don"t worry. I will be there in one piece. I will not make you do this alone. I know that you will do anything to keep me safe and if I do get hurt it will heal in no time." Cedric stopped by the boat and went around latching the hooks and straps to the boats. He then pushed and b.u.t.ton and the boat started to rise out of the water.

Yuki looked out at the water. She had sat down while Cedric was connecting the boat. She smiled as she stared out at the water. "It is relatively peaceful here."

"It really is. I like that the people here trust blindly but then again I never did anything that brought this town issues. I am well received here. The people here trust blindly and that is how they got stuck with that a.s.s hole. It was another individual that came to the office and requested help my aunt was going to turn them down. I stopped her and drove out there with the man and that was when I found that this place was the perfect getaway place I agreed to help. So I started my take plan seven years ago." The boat reached the top and Cedric hopped out.

Yuki took Cedric"s outstretched hand and hugged him once she was on the dock of the main boat. "That was fun. Do you think that next time I might be able to empty a cage?"

Cedric waved his hand and the cooler of seafood floated to in front of him. He took the handles and walked towards the kitchen. "I don"t see why not. There is nothing that will stop you from enjoying the time we have here and if you really want to empty the cage then I will not stop you from doing so." He walked down to the kitchen and placed the containor on the counter. "Do you have something from here you want to try?"

"Lobsters! I do not remember ever trying them but I want to. Especially since they seem so feisty!" Yuki stood next to the container.

"I will boil the water in the pot then." Cedric pulled out the pot and poured hot water into it and then placed the water on the burner. "You can take a set and we can get the lobsters yot once it is cooking time."

Yuki sat down and started to swing her legs. I am so excited to boil these. I can not wait to see what will happen. I am not used to seeing human food being cooked. Is this a fancy style of food?"

"Lobster was a poor man"s food but now humans consider it a rare delicacy but whatever. Which one of the two fighters do you want and do you want to grab in from the cooler?" Cedric kept an eye on the temperature.

"How do I grab him? I want to do it." Yuki looks at Cedric with sparkling eyes.

Cedric pulled out a pair of tongs. He pointed at the two. "Which one are you doing for?"

Yuki pointed to the one in front of her. "I would like to eat this guy."

"Okay, that is the one I will let you grab. I will pull out mine and that way you will be able to see how it is done." Cedric opened the tongs and sunk them into the water and the silicon part wrapped around the lobster and Cedric 0placed it down on the table. He handed the tongs to Yuki.

Yuki took the tongs and tried to grab the lobster but failed the first two times. Finally on the third try she was able to pull him out. She placed the lobster down and looked at his body. "They hard sh.e.l.l is interesting!" She touched the back of the lobster down to it"s tail.

"That is pretty normal for this animal. I know that you are not used to it though." Cedric picked up the lobster with his hands and tossed it into the boiling water. "Watch is this okay?" He looks down at Yuki"s confused face then drops the lobster into the boiling water.

Yuki heard the lobster hissing but she watched as the lobster started to turn into a bright red colour. "What just happened!? The lobster was greeny brown in colour but now it has turned red?"

"A cooked lobster turns red. I thought that was something that you might enjoy. So, I wanted you to see it. The hissing sound is actually coming from the lobster sh.e.l.l. Your lobster will take eighteen to twenty minuitnes to cook." He covers the lid while little the lobster gives up the will to fight and move on.

"That is really neat." Yuki gives him a hug and cuddles into his back. "I am glad that you no longer need to deal with your uncle. It is just really nice."

"Yes, I am glad that part of my life is like this and that man is now dead. I do not want to deal with his ever again and Luna as well as Ryan killed him so that I would not have to. I am forever in their debt and the want me to look after you their only daughter loving you for the rest of our lives together." Cedric listens to the hissing of the pot then turns around.

"They did what they felt was right I. do not blame them If I had to make a choice I would do teh same. I love you and I know that you love me. Now that I know we will be able to complete the ceremony. We should make a call on when you would like to do that." Yuki snuggles in his arms.

Cedric holds onto her, "As soon as we can would be preferred. I do not want to deal with a.s.sholes but that is a part of life. Why don"t we look at a claendar and pick a date?"
