Healing (Damaged Sequal)

A Long Night

Jessie's POV:

        About an hour we hiked back down the way we came. It was a quiet hike, but such a beautiful day. It was silent all the way home, but David seemed a little iffy about what I asked him to do. 

        I went upstairs and took a bath. I was in there until the water started cooling down. Then I showered and washed myself. I put on a pair of green, jean shorts and green, short sleeve, crop top that was made from stretchy material. I was wearing a bra and underwear and I slipped on my flats. I brushed my hair and put it back into a ponytail. 

        I went downstairs to make dinner. Dinner was lively as usual. That’s when I noticed the kids. Me being me I moved my seat and sat by the kids. To say everyone was shocked was right on point.

        “Hello, I’m Jessica,” I introduced myself to them. The teen just rolled her eyes at me. Andrew gave what I could tell was a look of anger? That confused me. Then I looked at Anne. Oh my she was so cute. Her bright brown eyes and honey blonde hair paired with cute little chubby cheeks. She smiled at me, her bright brown eyes twinkled. My lord can I be charmed by children. I just wanted to pick her up and set her on my lap and feed her all the sweets she wants. If my baby was alive she would be seven years old now. 

        “My name’s Anne,” the little girl said in such a cute voice.

        “Don’t talk to her,” Andrew said to his little sister. Anne went quiet and was playing with her green beans. I made hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, and green beans.

        “You don’t have to listen to your brother Anne,” Tillie said. 

        “He’s all I have left,” Anne said.

        “No he’s not. You have me too,” Tillie said. The two of them must’ve bonded.

        “I’m the only family she has left to rely on,” he said. He turned to me. Everyone was talking to each other and trying not to pay attention.

        “You are the reason my family is dead.” He glared so deeply into my eyes.

        “How? I wasn’t even there,” I said.

        “A woman who had the same eyes as you, but has a different hair color. She did it, but she said that she knew we would be sent here. She told me to give you a message.” By now I’m in such horror. I knew who he was talking about. I knew my birth mother did it and how it all seems to point back to me again. I looked at my hands. I wanted to cry. I wanted to run and hide.

        “She said she will see you soon,” I looked at him shocked. I looked down into dad's eyes. He knew what I was feeling at that moment.

        “Excuse me,” I said jumping from the table. I went into the kitchen and went out the back door. The sun was setting and I just broke into a run onto the trail. I ran and ran and ran. She killed them just to get me a message. That’s really f****d up, but she is deranged and there is nothing I can do. 

        I lost track of my surroundings. Then I felt arms wrap around stopping me from running. I was pulled backwards, hitting against a chest. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. The tears came that I had been holding back. The dam I built to hold back my tears broke and the flood came. I screamed as the tears over flowed and then I was turned and pulled into a chest. I cried and bawled into a really soft shirt. All my pain came rushing into my heart.

        Why do I have to be blamed? Why is everything my fault? Why is that I have to be connected to the death of other people?

        “Shhhhhhhhhhh, everything’s going to be okay. You're not at fault, sweetie,” Damien said. Did I say that aloud? “You’re saying your thoughts aloud, sweetie,” he said softly. He held me as I continued to bawl in his shirt. He ended up picking me up and I wrapped my arms around his neck burying my head into his neck. My legs wrapped around his waist. I never thought Damien would come after me. 

        After what happened with the baby and I tried to get closer to Damien he pulled away from me. He ended up going back into the line of duty as an Elite. He stayed away from me and I blamed myself for that. I needed him around me because for the longest time he was there for me and I had gotten used to that, but when he finally went back he was coming and going a lot and then I stood outside when he came back.

        He had gotten out of his car after coming back from a mission. He looked tired, but I needed to face him now. 

        “What are you doing out here?” He asked me gruffly. I know he’s grumpy and trying to push me away, but I need my answers.

        “Waiting for you,” I said. I was so nervous about what I’m going to say.

        “You should be in bed. Better yet you should go to bed right now,” He ordered.

        “I can’t do that. I need to know,” I said.

        “No you don’t. You don’t need to know anything other than going to school and focusing on your training,” he said.

        “That’s what I mean. You're pushing me away. You are constantly saying things to me like this. No more. Tell me why you have been pushing me away,” I said.

        “I’m not pu-”

        “Yes you are,” I raised my voice. “I can feel it. You keep a distance and then go back to the Elites. Then making sure to be here when I’m not. I may be naive, but I’m not stupid.”

        “Jessie, I can’t do this right now,” he whispered.

        “Yes, you can. You owe me this.”

        “I just can’t be around you right now,” he said.

        “What did I do?” I asked.

        “I can’t tell you,” he said.

        “Was it because of the baby?” I asked. He looked shocked. 

        “No.”

        “Then what is it?” I asked.

        “It’s you okay? It’s you and how you are just constantly whining and crying and I can’t take it. I can’t stand it anymore,” tears rolled down my cheeks. “Don’t cry now. I don’t want to see your disgusting face,” I was hurt that night. I ran to my room and just bottled all my tears. That's the reason I stopped crying, even over death. After watching that demon slaughter those women. I haven’t cried in six years. I’ve held them back because Damien said that to me. And yet here he is holding me as I cried. But when I finally calmed down.

        “I thought you hated my disgusting crying face,” I mumbled into his neck.

        “I’m sorry I said those words. I regret saying that to you. I was having a conflict in my heart about you. I thought of you as a daughter at first, but then you became more to me. My emotions started turning from a family love to a love love feeling for you. Every Time I saw you I wanted to take you in my arms and hold you. So I had to do something to make sure I didn’t do something I would regret doing or putting you through something. So I distanced myself from you. I’m still conflicted because I’m way older than you. I can’t help my feelings for you, Jessie,” He said as his feet crunched into rocks on the dirt path. His left arm under my ass and the other wrapped around my back. 

        “I hadn’t cried in six years,” I said. He stopped right in his tracks.

        “What?” He breathed out in shock.

        “I figured my crying bothered everyone anyway, so that night I held in my tears. This is the first time I cried in six years.”

        “I’m sorry I said those things to you, sweetie. I shouldn’t have said that to you,” Damien apologized.

        “I have already forgiven you,” I said.

        “I love you, Jessie,” he said. I believe him. The emotion was deep into his voice. “I hope you can love me too, someday,” he said hopeful that I will. If he hadn’t pushed me away I wouldn’t be this confused about everyone. Dear god, please help me choose. I felt more comfortable now. Now that the air is clear between us.

        When we got back to the house, everyone was outside waiting. I really didn’t want anyone to see my face. I used my arm and his neck to cover my face. He passed by everyone and they were asking if I was okay and he would answer yes.

        When we were up two floors. He put me down, but in front us stood Andrew. He looked at me angrily.

        “I still hate you,” he said.

        “Well get in line. You're not the only ones to lose family to evil people. Not just you. Daniel and David lost their parents to their own triplet brother. I lost a woman considered to be my mother. Not the woman you saw, but this woman treated me like my mother. I watched her slowly die by the hands of the triplet brother. Killed my supposed family in front of my very eyes. My mother has probably killed people before your parents, but I’ll tell you this. You can blame me all you want, but I’m not really the reason they are dead. The one to blame is the person who killed them. She would have found a different set of kids to orphan. Things happen and evil exists. Become strong and fight that evil. Because I will be doing just that,” I said. The door to the right opened. Out came Anne. 

        “Andrew, who are you talking to?” she asked. She stopped and looked up at me. She smiled. “Hello, Jessica,” her cute little voice said.

        “Hello Anne,” I said. Damn she is charming me. I could feel Damien’s hand on my neck. He rubbed it and I realized why. He knew what I was going through because he went through it with me. I saw my daughter in her. I grimaced at the thought. 

        “Are you okay?” Anne asked.

        “I’m okay, sweetie,” I smiled at her. “Goodnight you two,” I said and Damien led me past them. We were on our floor when I looked at the door. I’ve been able to not think about it ever since then, but I stared at the door that taunted me. Instead of going to my room I went for that door. I put my hand gripping the doorknob. I twisted it and opened it. The room was empty. The walls were painted white. I felt empty just looking at the bare room. After losing my baby, it’s all I could think about. I want a family. Not yet, but when I find the love of my life I want them to know I want a big family. 

        Not too soon after we’re married. I want to spend some quality married time with my husband. I want to wait at least thirty to forty years. We live a long life.

        I turned and looked at Damien. He was avoiding my eyes. So I took a few steps to be in front of him. I took his hand into my hands. I squeezed his hand and he looked me into my eyes.

        “Ever since I had that baby, I knew she was going to be dead the moment she left my body. Everyday it was hard to breath or live. But I’ve come to know that like you I want to have many children. That is one thing that I want truly in this world once this is all over. With everything about to go down be prepared about who I will call upon, because it could be one of you. Damien, if you hadn’t pushed me away, my answer would have been a lot easier. Now my emotions are confused. I love you all, but I need to look into myself to see who I truly love, but my heart is confused. There will come the moment I have to choose, but right now is not the right time. I hope you understand I am not blaming you. I blame myself for letting myself get so close to you all.” I let his hand go. “Goodnight,” I whispered, but I went to my room and grabbed a bottle of wine. I opened it there and went to the roof. I sat on the ledge and sipped my wine as I stared into the dark forest.

        I was alone for a while and half the bottle was gone. A noise alerted me to someone coming. It was just Tillie.

        “What are you doing up here? Shouldn’t you be in bed?” I asked. She grabbed my bottle and took a swig.

        “I would, but I can’t sleep,” she said.

        “Planning your next escape?” I asked.

        “How-”

        “David told me today. I have been gone two years and I come back to a teen who is running away from those who are trying to help her,” I said. I was a little drunk.

        “You don’t know anything,” she said. Her curly short hair and piercing green eyes made her beautiful. She had high cheekbones, red lips and a pointed chin. Her nose was rounded and she was about my height.

        “Then tell me something. Not like I’m going to go back and tell them,” I said.

        “Why should I trust you?” She asked.

        “I have nothing left to lose,” I said. I’m bluffing because I do, but she doesn’t know that.

        “Then tell me something about yourself first.”

        “Ha, where do I begin on that one. My whole life was a lie. My mother was really my nanny who pretended to be my mother. I still consider her that. I watched an evil man slowly toture and kill my mother and family. I almost commit suicide once I was here. I was r***d by the same man. This man tricked me into dating him to get something from me. Also my sister whom I thought was my cousin at the time, dated him too. She blamed me for the death of my mother and then her mother believing I killed them even though it was this man. We got pregnant by the same man. I gave birth and lost my child. I’m half Hunter and half Witch,” I said a little drunk. 

        “Wow, I’m not caring at all.”

        “I know. Just a little drunk.” I took back the bottle and took three big size gulps.

        “My parents betrothed me to a man. They are good friends of his, but I don’t want to marry him because I want to fall in love. I’m from a prestigious Hunter family, but no matter what I say they won’t listen. I hate this man.”

        “Why do you hate him?”

        “He was always there for me, but only because he has always wanted me. He helped my family out during a crisis and now he is using me for collateral.”

        “So he blackmails your family to marry you using a debt? That is low. Can your family pay him back for it?”

        “That’s the thing. We tried to pay him back, but he won’t take it no matter what. The man wants to marry me. He’s had his eyes on me since I was little. It would creep me out,” She explained. This man was a criminal and he was using the family to get what he truly wanted. The girl he fantasized about touching and f*****g. 

        “I have a word for that. Pedophile,” I said. I took another giant swig of wine. I looked over at her and I realized this man wanted trouble.

        “I got you girl. I knew a pedophile and that man got dangerously close to me. I got out luckily. Hit the asshole right in the d**k. Ready to do some homework?” I asked her with a smile. She looked at me like I was crazy. I am crazy and even though I’m drunk I want to know what’s on this man. “Let’s go to my room,” I said. I was about to call someone I hadn’t met since college. 

        Once in my room I set up my computer. I then grabbed my phone and dialed the number. It rang a couple of times.

        “Hello?” A woman asked.

        “Hey Vero, I think I’m going to cash in that favor now. I need you to hack into someone's computer.” I covered the receiver. “What’s his name honey?” I asked Tillie.

        “Richard Waverly,” She said.

        “His name is Richard Waverly,” I said. That name sounded familiar to me.

        “I will look into him. You sure you want this as a favor?”

        “Yeah, I’m sure. Next time I will pay you. Thank you Vero,” I said.

        “You’re welcome, Jess. I’ll get back to you once I catch something,” She said.

        “Thank you, goodnight.” I hung up, but something didn’t feel right. So I called Tallia.

        “Hello?” She asked.

        “Hey Tallia, This is Jessica Dulaney,” I said.

        “Hey, Jessie. What can I do for you at this hour?” She asked.

        “I came across a name that seems familiar to me and I’m getting a bad feeling from it. I’m hoping you know something. I heard about a man by the name of Richard Waverly and I was told he was getting married. His fiancée though is under age. Do you know anything about him?” I asked her.

        “s**t,” she said.

        “What is it?”

        “Richard is not a good guy. He is a Hunter, but he’s the bad egg of his family. I’ve heard of him using drugs and alcohol. He even robbed a bank, but I heard he has r***d women. His family has covered up for him to the council for a long time. Whoever this girl is, better run.”

        “Don’t worry. I’m going to protect her, and I’m going to take him down,” I said.

        “Just be careful,” she said. “ I’ll talk to you later. Bye.”

        “Bye,” I hung up. 

        “So, we will keep this between us. After what I heard, being here is the best thing. You're safe here. Don’t worry too much about this. I will take care of this. You should go to bed now. Goodnight,” I said.

        “Goodnight,” she said and left. I went to bed too. I won’t be hearing from Vero very soon. She’ll need time to collect any evidence she can from this guy. 

        I got ready for bed and slept really well because of the wine. I woke up in the morning to Charlie shaking me awake saying it’s his day. I finally sat up and glared at him, but he just smiled.

        I got out of bed and went and took a shower. I figure Charlie would have left knowing this. When I was done I came out wrapped in a towel to find Charlie sitting on my bed checking out my body. I told him to get out, but he just stood up and came my way. I ran back into the bathroom and messaged Johnny to come get Charlie’s dumbass from my room. I also told him he saw me wrapped in a towel. That got Johnny bursting in my room to drag Charlie who was banging at my door.

        I guess we have another rule added to the list. I put on a pink bra set. I put on my pink, camo, cotton capris and crop top. I put on a black tank top underneath my crop top because of how Charlie reacted this morning. The crop top tied in the front and the sleeves went to my elbows. I put on socks and sneakers.

        I went into the bathroom to put my hair halfway up, and add my usual makeup consisting of eyeliner, mascara, and a little bit of lip gloss. Once I finished in the bathroom I went downstairs. I went to the kitchen to find Charlie holding a cup of coffee for me. I was a little wary of him.

        “I’m sorry about earlier. I don’t know what came over me. As soon as I saw you in that towel I felt this urge and I don’t know. It felt like I was no longer in body,” he said looking down at the floor. He looked upset with himself at this. I can’t help but believe in him. I moved toward him and put my right hand on his left cheek.

        “I forgive you, but please, if I’m taking a shower leave my room because most likely I’ll be coming out for clothes.”

        “Okay,” he said solemnly. He then put the cup of coffee in my hands. Charlie has always been like this. I found out that after his sister had died he developed a second personality. It kicks on at random times, but I’ve noticed after everything that’s happened that his personality has turned on me. In a very perverted way. 

        One time I was swimming in the pool and he happened to see me in it. He jumped into the pool and pulled me into his body. Let me tell you he was hard. Really hard. I could feel his d**k through his pants. He was huge and that made me lust for his giant c**k. This is the one time I will tell you that Charlie managed to turn me on fast. It seemed after my pregnancy was over my hormones stayed. At times I would look at one of the guys and I wanted to f**k him senselessly.

        I let my thoughts wander. He had me against the wall of the pool on the deep side. I had my hands clasped behind his neck. His right hand clasped the side of the pool and the other had my right leg. I could feel the need to have him inside me rise. My p***y started to get wet. He then started to rub his junk against the fabric of my pink bikini bottoms. I gasped at the feeling of pleasure.

        “You want this don’t you,” he said. His personality had such confidence. I didn’t answer so he rubbed again. I moaned. He nipped at my neck. I wanted him to stick his finger in my p***y, while I rubbed his c**k. Then he’d remove my bottoms and push himself into me. I wanted him to take me hard. Then he’d take me over to the ladder where he’d f**k me from behind. We’d both c*m from going hard.

        He ran his hand up my leg and got to my ass. In one swift movement he lifted my legs up with his and kneeled against the pool wall. He ran his finger hard over the fabric over my p***y.

        “Someone’s wet and so warm,” he said seductively. I bit my lip and he moved the fabric over and pushed his middle finger into my p***y. He started out slow and wiggled his finger. I moaned at this. I removed my right hand from behind his neck and reached his raging hard on. I rubbed him through his pants. He put his pointer into me with his middle finger.

        “Ah f**k,” I said as the pleasure intensified. “Ah ah ah ah,” I moaned as he made slow pumps in and out of me. I pumped his c**k harder and I could feel it get harder.

        “f**k Jessie. Oh s**t that feels good,” he said. I should have mentioned nobody was home at the time. He thrust forward into my hand. Like me he became a mess from my touch as I am to him with his fingers pumping in and out of me. I rubbed a little harder. I could feel my pleasure increase as his thumb rubbed my c******s. 

        “Oh god Charlie,” I moved my hips as he rubbed my c**t and wiggled his finger. “Uh uh uh uh uh uh, it feels so good.” I felt his c**k ready to explode and he did, moaning at the pleasure. I hadn’t even finished. He removed his fingers and moved me to his shoulders above the water as he clung to the edge of the pool. His breath on my p***y made me wetter. He licked my p***y. I held onto the edge of the pool. 

        “Uh uh,” He stuck his tongue into the hole of my p***y. He was eating my p***y. Sticking his tongue into my hole and then pulling my folds into his mouth and sucking. I moaned loudly now. “Uh Charlie yes, uh, uh uh,” I got louder with each suck and slurp and the feeling of his tongue in my hole. He even sucked on my c**t. I moaned really loud.

        “You have such a sweet p***y,” he said and then went back to enjoying my p***y. I could feel it then. I was going to c*m soon. I was sweating and moaning even louder.

        “I’m going to c*m Charlie,” I moaned. He licked then pulled away. 

        “Give you sweet p***y juicy Jessie,” he said. I could feel it and licked my p***y bottom up. Sweeping my c**t in the process. He slowly licked my c**t and then moved his tongue flicking it. My hips bucked and then he did it over and over again.

        “I’m cumming Charlie,” I moaned yelling. I screamed as he flicked my c**t one last time. I came undone and bucked as he continued to slowly lick the sensitive nub. After that he let me down and I clung to him tired. He held me close, he came back to his senses.  He apologized profusely. I forgave him because he gave me the best pleasure of my life, but it was not to happen again and because of his previous tries of getting to me we would never speak of it again.

        He still feels bad. I can see it, but I shouldn’t have to forgive him because I wanted him to do those things. 

        I pushed all my lustful thoughts aside. I sipped my coffee as we both stood in the kitchen. We stayed quiet for a while.

        He took me for a walk through the trails and we talked. I told him about my two years away. He held my hand on our walk. He told me about what happened after I left. He told me he had actually gone home to his family and finally confessed about his love for me. His parents didn’t seem too happy. Technically I am a Hunter, but I am not registered because dad never sent in my certificate of birth. Dad had messaged me this morning saying he sent both to the Witches and to the Hunters. This will be the start of something big.

        Charlie said that Johnny also said the same to his mom and she wasn’t happy either. I think they all confessed to their families because they believe I will choose one of them. Sooner or later their parents will confront me. I will be waiting for that day. Especially Johnny’s mother. Chew her out for what she did to Damien and her son. Not right.

        He then had me sit in the swing and he would draw me, but he drew me in a long dress and he said he would give me the painting later. The day with Charlie was pretty laxed after everything I came back to. 

        After dinner I went to bed without a single dream in my head.
