Slave To The Darkness

Adam came out and into the dining room. "Thank you for all your help. My family is going to begin hunting her down. I hope that the guy they find with her body is murdered. Then case closed."

"With what they see, they will suspect that he did it, besides the wine that we left for him to drink and it will help a lot. He will not resist." Cedric sighs before pulling Yuki into his arms.

Yuki placed her arms around his neck. "Thank you for allowing me to help kill her. She is another off the kill list and next Monday we will kill another. I look forward to Monday"s arrival."

Adam sits down and looks at the food. "Is it okay for me to eat with you guys? I am hungry from using my powers and it has been a while since I have eaten."

Claude sat in between Adam and Sephira. He pulls out the new box and spreads the food on the table. "Help yourself, I did not know what everyone would like but there is a little of everything." He hands a plate to Adam, "oh, and welcome to the crew."

Cedric pulls Yuki into the seat next to Sephira and starts to eat. "I think that you made the right choices. There is a lot that this island offers."

Yuki laid her head back and listened to the hearts beating on the s.h.i.+p and pinpointed that Naomi was still in the shower. She sat up and ate a piece of chicken that Cedric placed on a plate for her. She slowly ate and listened. "Cedric the human is back."

Claude and Cedric got up at the same time and they both left. Adam watched this in amus.e.m.e.nt. "I did not think that both of them would move at the same time. Did you cause it to happen, Mistress?"

Yuki looked at him and her eyes changed back to the red colour and she licked her lips. "Do you think you would still be sitting here if I did, Adam?"

Adam shut his mouth and just looked at Yuki. "I-I misspoke. Please forgive me." He bowed his head.

Sephira looked at this display in fascination and then looked at her hand. "The slave mark makes it very difficult to disobey a direct order unless you can find a loophole."

Yuki nodded her head, "you can continue eating." She saw Cedric carrying a box and he turned around and left the room and Claude sat back down.

"d.a.m.n it. I was going to tip the kid but Cedric said no and sent me back inside. I thought we were buddies?" He pouts and growls.

Cedric came in with the box and glared at Claude. "You know d.a.m.n well I said no and told you to go in. You spent a lot on the food and I am eating it too. It is only fair that I provide a little money towards this feast." He sits back down and starts to eat once more.

Yuki starts giggling uncontrollably and stops eating. "Ha, he got you there Claude." Yuki gloated and giggled a little more.

Naomi walked into the room and smelled the food. She looked at Yuki before she sat down in between Cedric and Adam as that was the only chair left. "I missed the funny story?"

"It is not even a story!" Claude pouts and glares harder. "I am sorry. That is not what I meant. I just was upset over something silly."

Sephira looks at Claude and bursts into laughter. "I am sorry Claude but the fl.u.s.tered look on your face is priceless." She leans over and kisses his cheek.

Adam shakes his head and eats the food trying not to feel self-conscious of the girl that was sitting next to him. "This is quite nice. I will expect a call from my family within the next forty-eight hours. May I ask what the plan is?"

Cedric smiles and looks down at Yuki. "Well in two and a half weeks I will wed the girl of my dreams but at the moment we are on vacation at least until Monday morning. As it is Thursday we will make use of this time to relax and feel free to use the s.h.i.+p facilities. Naomi, your room is next to Adam"s. On the lower deck."

"Okay, I understand I will show him where the room is and we will see what happens from there." Naomi eats a little bit and takes the suggestion that Adam placed by her plate.

Yuki eats a bit but stops and gets up. She walks to the control room and sits down on the couch in there. She starts to think about everything and then picks up a random book reading the ancient text.

Cedric ate until he was full and made sure the s.h.i.+p was ready to disembark. He went into the control room and found Yuki lost in thought. He pulled the s.h.i.+p out and slowly steered it back to the area they were in before. He puts on autopilot and goes to her. "What"s on your mind?"

"Mmmmmmm, I was thinking that everything is happening so fast but at the same time, it is happening so slow. On one side, I want to do things with you and be with you but on the other side, I want to find out everything and go, rogue. I thirst for the bloodshed of others. It is not fair that my parents had to die and I get to live a bit at the same time I am not able to condemn their wishes." Yuki looked up as Cedric wanted to convey her thoughts.

"I get that. I will promise you that we will take out the one that dared to kill your family. I will not let this go by. Although it was my family that ruined yours. Do you regret falling for me?" He touched her chin.
