Chapter 30: Just Hanging Out
Lucien leaned down kissing me gently on my forehead. It was so unexpected I nearly screamed. He sat up still startling me skeletal wings scrapping against the leather of the couch unpleasantly. He snapped his fingers and a necklace nearly identical to the one Sloan wore appeared dangling from his index finger.
"There now here is just another favor I am doing for you little one." Lucien leaned down again hovering too close his eyes piercing mine. I gulped not wanting to say anything. He stood up, and looked at the gory mess that had once been Terry.
"I suppose having him slaughtered hours after your little charade went into motion would be very hard to explain." He sighed nudging a thick wet clump of something I was trying very hard not to identify. He rolled Terry onto his back, and leaned down over his mouth. It looked as if he was French kissing him until I saw the soul. Lucien was literally vomiting his soul back into Terry's body. I am not ashamed to admit I crawled back behind the couch and was sick. After practically relearning how to breathe I stood up clutching the couch for support. Lucien stood arms crossed over his chest staring at me as if he would devour me instead. I suppressed a shudder, and studied Terry instead. He didn't look much different than he had before a fist went straight through his heart. His eyes however looked like the glaced white eyes of the dead. He drooled head lulling to the side, and I was starting to wonder if this was going to work at all. At least the gory mess was gone, I was glad I missed what Lucien had done to clean that up.
"Is he going to be okay?" I asked voice hoarse from throwing my guts up.
"No." said Lucien a dreamy look on his face.
"Can he at least carry on a conversation or something until we get through this mess?" I asked wincing. Lucien smiled up at the ceiling as if thinking then shook his head no. I sighed covering my face with my hand. At least their wasn't prices of him laying around, maybe I can just tell the truth and Lucien did it. Sure. That would go over so well.
Not much happened the next day Lucien had left without a word while I was sitting trying to figure out what to do about Terry. He was little more than a vegetable now. He moaned and groaned as if in pain, but could barely even walk. If I said he was sick and I didn't know what was wrong would they believe me? More than likely they would see what Lucien had done, and think I had done it. I wasn't entirely sure I could have done it, but decided to put it on the back burner. No one tried to even contact us until late evening. Terry's phone rang I stared down at the iPhone in horror at the name scrawled acrossed the screen Uncle Bob. Wait, Bob was Sloan's nickname Bob? That didn't make any sense, maybe Terry had a different uncle. I hope so I dared not answer it. Five minutes later it rang again then kept ringing over and over. I am not sure how many times they called, but I had began to panic. I grabbed Terry by the arm and flung him into bed. I dumped booze on him which he seemed to have by the barrel. Then I went to hide! My hidey hole was maybe not the best one I hid in the attic near a little window. I wasn't sure if they would assume I had gone to my own home or search for me here, but I hoped the former. It had only been another fifteen minutes when four very large hummers screeched into the drive. Goons of the biggest caliber climbed out and Sloan was right behind them. I swore silently looking around for something anything to save myself. In one corner of the room was a sort of BDSM bondage type thing I stared at it thinking it looked a bit like a cross. I shrugged and was about to ignore it when I had a brilliant thought.
"Lucien.." I hissed knowing he was probably listening somehow. I nearly screamed bloody murder when he hissed in my ear.
"Yes darling?" He held me tight to him covering my mouth. "Shhhh, They will hear you."
"Lucien listen please lock me into that thing." I whispered pointing at the crazy thing. Lucien stood staring at the contraption with curiosity.
"Oh, with absolute pleasure." He grinned such a haunting evil smile I backed up several feet.
"Listen they might look for me I need to look as if I have been incapacitated all night. Do you understand?" I asked hoping he would stop being the air head Lucien and the smart Lucien would come out. He didn't say anything, but lunged grabbing my wrists and held my arms far above my head. He then levitated us both over to the rack, and swiftly pinned my arms and ankles into place. It was definitely uncomfortable, but no way could I have gotten in it myself. Lucien raised my shirt I had been sleeping in exposing my stomach over my too short sleep pants. He grabbed the fabric in each hand, and ripped my shirt down the middle. I gasped unable to help myself. He pressed his lips to mine and said "Shhhhh" into my mouth. Ge then grabbed my pants and tore them as well so they hung in pieces from my ankles. I tried to just hold still, not sure where this would go. He looped his finger around the front of my lacy panties, and rubbed his finger along my clit before jerking hard ripping them as well. He then stood back several paces examining me. He nodded then winked disappearing back into the shadows. I held my breath not sure if he would lunge at me or was now simply gone again. I am not sure how long I waited, but it felt like forever. My arms ached pulled tight in their sockets my legs where soundly asleep as well. Suddenly the attic door swung open and I could hear men talking.
"....you are sure you looked everywhere in her house. Maybe she has a safe room?" A gruff voice asked.
"Course I did, I tell ya the bitch did something to Terry and ran. Boss is going to skin her. Maybe he will let us do it, eh?" A higher pitched males asked. My head whipped in their direction, and I guess my movement caught their eye because both men froze hands on their weapons staring at me open mouthed.
"Oh thank God" I croaked as pitifully as I could. "Please get me down I have been stuck here forever. " Both men exchanged looks then eyed me yet again faces more hungry now than surprised.
