Chapter Seventeen
~Calypso~
I spent the morning bonding with Gretchen and Octavia, but James never came and joined us. I missed his touch, the feeling of his arms around me, his venom so I decided to go and find him.
I walked up the stairs quietly listening for him. I went back to the room we were in earlier and the door was shut. I twisted the door knob and peaked inside to see James laying on the bed fresh out of the shower. His hair was still a bit wet and his chest was bare showing his rock hard core. My eyes glanced down his chest following his hair line that led down between his hips. His right hand slipped just past his dangerously low waist band of his boxers. His eyes flicker up at me with a seductive smile.
I quickly walk in and close the door behind me. My arms cross in front of me to grab the bottom of my t-shirt and lift it off over my head. I throw it down as I jump on top of him locking my legs around his hips. He reaches up and grabs the back of my neck and forces me down into his kiss.
I feel his lips pressed hard against mine. His fangs cought my bottom lip piercing it. The trickle of blood that came out only made him pull me in deeper.
I reach my hands down to my pants to unbuckle them not letting my lips leave his. When he quickly tossed me over and ripped me jeans down passed my ankles. He jumps back on top of me kissing my stomach when I feel his hands claw into my hips as he pulls my panties down.
His kissing starts to go lower past my belly button when I throw my knees up attempting to stop him. But that only locks his head into place. He groans in pure excitement and pleasure at my reaction.
When I feel his face slide down and he gently rubs his lips against me.
I reach down and let my hands run through his hair. When I feel him thrust his fingers inside. I squirm, but he holds me down and kisses me deeper letting his tongue slip out of his mouth and onto my c**t. I squeal in passion never having felt any of this before.
I feel flushed with heat, but my body shivers from the pure pleasure. I feel my self throbbing around his fingers as he brings me to ecstasy.
He lifts his head up and I look down to him. His hand slips out of me as I twitch. And he tastes his fingers and says
"You taste so sweet"
He crawls up on top of my trembling body and I can feel him hard against me. He buries his head in my neck and pierces his fangs deep into my veins.
His venom spreading through out my body, and I become a slave to his every will. He stays there continuing to pump his venom in me and my eyes begin to flutter. He held me like that intoxicating me untill we both fell asleep in our embrace.
It is mid afternoon when I finally awake with a burning feeling in my chest. I look down and see a symbol glowing red like the embers of a fire across my heart. Cauterizing my skin as it illuminates.I shake James awake beside me. As the burning intensifies.
"James" I call out to him "I'm scared. something's wrong"
He sits up and grabs a hold of my shoulder. His eyes filled with concern. His gaze drops down to the burn across my chest and he yells for Octavia.
In less then a second both Octavia and Gretchen where in the room.
James addresses Octavia
"What's happening? What is this?"
Octavia's eyes shoot to me and widen.
"Someone has put a tracking rune on her. They must be looking for her and they are close. We have to leave…. Now" she yells at us all frozen in place.
James and I jump out of bed both nearly nude and throw on our clothes.
As James is slipping on his pants he asks Octavia
"How do we get it off her?"
"We can't. We have two choices leave her here or run. But no matter where we go they will find her"
I look back and forth between them. I don't want to leave James. I don't want them to leave me. I'm afraid even though I don't know who is coming.
We hear Gretchen honking the car horn outside and all three of us race down the stares. Octavia and James jump in, but I hesitate outside of the car when Gretchen says
"Come on get in"
"I just..." I start to say, when James grabs my hand, eyes pleading with me to enter the vehicle.
"You said someone put this on me" I say, more as a statement then a question.
"And you said no matter what they will find me… I just feel like who ever did this must be someone I know, and I don't feel like they are looking for me to harm me"
James pulls me hard trying to get me in the vehicle with them.
"You don't know that" he says, angry with me.
"No, but I do know we can't run for ever. James what if it's my parents. I just need to let them know I'm safe and I want to be here"
I grab my chest as the pain inflames and almost takes me to my knees.
"If your worried stay with me" I look at him hoping he will trust me. He doesn't hesitate and steps out of the vehicle
"Always" he says, even though I can see in his eyes that he is angry with me.
Gretchen and Octavia look at each other when Octavia says
"Family"
Gretchen nods and turns the vehicle off. They step out of the car and join my side. Octavia reaches down to grab my hand, and I can feel she genuinely cares for me.
She looks me in the eye and says
"Then we shall wait"
We stood outside of Octavia's home.
Dense woods surround her secluded home, and we waited listening.
It wasn't long before we could here the roars of an engine approaching us. I can hear rocks and earth being kicked up behind its wheels as it speeds down her drive. I look to my left and right into the eyes of my friends each hand in hand ready to protect each other at all costs.
An SUV approaches us with a holt, and my father is the first to jump out. I look to James for permission to go up to him and he nods leading me to the SUV.
Gretchen and Octavia just behind us and I can here Gretchen whisper to her
"That's her dad"
The driver's door opens and to my surprise I see my Gramair approach. The moment I see her the flames in my chest immediately extinguish. The grip I have on James's hand loosens a bit as the pain subsides. He smiles at me seeing the pain leave my body.
"A human and a witch?" I hear Octavia ask under her breath to Gretchen.
"Dad" I say, a bit cheerful. Being the first one to break the silence between us.
"Gramair" I follow with the same tone.
My dad looks between all four of us and I can see he has no trust for these people.
"It's time to come home" my father sternly says.
I lean into James at the thought of leaving him. James speaks to my surprise
"She won't be leaving unless that is what she wants to do"
I can see my father is a bit threatened of the beast in front of him, but he still challenges James with his eyes.
My Gramair attempts to approach a bit closer when Octavia takes a step to put herself between us. I put my hand on her shoulder to let Octavia know that there is no reason to interject.
When Octavia looks to me and says
"I don't trust her"
"It's ok. She is my family" I say.
Octavia's eyes look down in understanding as I use the word family, but she is hesitant to move.
So I let go of James's hand and walk through them to get to my Gramair.
My Gramair cups her hands around my shoulders in a way that she was telling me she is proud of me. Then she looks to my neck where I know James has left his punctures. Her eyes look back at me with concern, but doesn't address it further.
"I feel like we have a lot to talk about" I say to Gramair.
"I feel like your right" she responds.
