Fan Fiction ❯ I Live to Serve I Serve to Live ❯ Boats and plans for capturing the human flock ( Chapter 14 )

Asleep and deeply, Lianne was still troubled by her lack of hope. That she might never have a family of her own disturbed her even while sleeping the sleep of the exhausted. Her thoughts came clearly to her conscious bedmate. Reyn nodded in comprehension of the agony in her heart. Now that he knew her trouble he could indeed agree with her assessment of her trouble and her thought that he would not like to help her. Had it only been any other thing!

Anything else and he would gladly wrestle the gods themselves to give her every wish of her heart, and yet he could not do this thing for it well might mean his own life. For a demon to conceive a child meant that his own essence must be cleaved asunder and he must pour pure power into the vessel chosen to bear his offspring. If anything went wrong all would be lost the power could not be sealed up again and would drain the demon dry and burn up the vessel in the process.

"So sorry darling! But I can not help and that leaves you with even fewer options then before!" he whispered, then he disappeared in a swirling of aircurrents that were sucked in to fill the void where he had just been. She did not even awaken, worn out as she was with the soul shattering glory of the previous twentyfour hours. He returned, making his appearance nearer the door so that Lianne would be spared the cold breeze that marked his passing hither and yon. "Sweeting, wake up it is time for breakfast." He called out softly.

Lianne sprang up from the bed as if possessed. She fell on the warm bread and sweet fruits he presented for her morning meal with vigor. Her utter lack of table manners amused him so much he began to chuckle. She glared at him with her cheeks still stuffed with her last bite. This made him break out into open laughter. She continued to glare for a moment more, then swallowed and joined him in laughing.

The week of bliss that followed almost erased her heart's sorrows...almost. It was the last day that she would spend in the fortress home of Reyn. He strolled in with her moring breakfast, this time waffles covered in heavy cream and fresh strawberry slices. She ate with gusto as was her habbit, stopping only long enough to try to coerce him into sharing her meal with her. He refused so she ate it all herself.

That finished she stood and asked politely to be allowed to bathe. It had been two days since her last bath and she longed to be clean again. "Of course my dear." This time she did convince him to join her in the bathing pool he caused to materialize between the flames and his bed. He was lazily rubbing circles on her belly with a soaped rag when he brought up her painful trouble from out of no where.

"I wish that I could aid you Lianne. It would please me greatly for you to have my child, but the risks are far to great for us both. Should anything go wrong in the process both demon and vessel are destroyed." She sighed and he wiped away the tear that trickled down her cheek. Then as if he was determined to make her forget all her troubles Reyn bade her rinse herself of and then whe they got out he proceeded to lick every drop of water from her body.

Her flesh hummed when he urged her to part her knes and then licked his way to her center. As he flicked the forked part of his tongue over her bud she struggled to stay standing. Thinking all of a sudden of what she had wondered about asking before Lianne humbly sent a request to her impassioned lover. "Since it is the last day we shall spend together for some time I will do so gladly." He replied then in a flash he became his vampire hunter self. Still obviously demonic in his nature but also appearing far closer to human. His eyes she did not insist he change, for she liked the black colored iris's silver pupils and red colored whites the hue of hearts blood. Looking into them made her long to have him inside her.

Reyn lciked her over every bit of her tenderest flesh andteased her with fingers and tongue until she wantd to scream then he rolled her over and she braced her hands on the edge of the bathing pool. Even in his false human form his length was huge and his forceful thrusts made her trmeble and reach her peak several times before he allowed himself to come.

She returned to her lord once more, determined to never leave his side for more then a day again. Unfortunately determination is often not all that is needed to achieve ones desires. Lianne was seated at her Lord's feet before the flames, reading once again from the Tome of Rathmus. Her lord too was at his own studies, learning some kind of advanced shipcraft. She loked up at the spine of the book he had propped up on a stand. "Whatever would you need Villimonteir's Shipwrights Primer for?" She asked. Lord Raziel looked down on her and smiled like a teacher who was most pleased with his student. "The number of Humans in the allied villages and Clan strongholds is far to low. On the other contenent they have quite an excess of your kind. It is the plan of Lord Kain to build a small fleet of very well equipped ships to sail over and bring back a few flocks of humans to suppliment your flagging numbers."

Lianne smiled at her lord, a habbit she had found it was impossible to resist. "But Milord, how are you going to convince them to come back with you. Surely these people will have families , businesses and lives they do not wish to abandon to become a vampire's property. Across the sea they also have hunters Milord, who are most dangerous. Reyn told me that many of his brethren have gone into this business since the humans and other creatures pay gold for the deaths of the ones who do not follow the strict laws regarding the practice of vampirism. It could be terribly dangerous." She said.

"It is sweet of you to worry about me my Lianne, but unwaranted. You will be journeying with me so what danger could I fear? None with your sorcery to protect me!" Raziel teased. She bowed her head and flushed when she realized that had he not known her as he did that would have sounded like a challenge to his strength. No human with any sense offered a vampire of his many centuries such a challenge. Or at least not if they wished to live to see the welcome rays of dawn. "It is unfortunate but once before Kain tried to incourage colonists to come over under the free villages treaty but they refused outright, so now we must resort to slavery and piracy to get what we require." He explained. His Lianne looked sad for a moment, then seemed to shake it off. "Why Must you do these things Milord?" She inquired.

"I am the only one skilled enough to design and oversee the construction of such a fleet. I am like that male ancestor of yours that cared only to be an architect. Engineering and design are were my talents lie not in magic." She smirked and said, "I can think of a few more areas where you have a great deal of talent." His grin was full of fang, and his eyes now glowed like golden embers, full of desire. She rose up from her seat at his feet and went to the door. opening it she stepped out side, and just before she slammed it she said, "Catch me if you can!"

Kain was walking down the hall of his faovred son's fortress when Lianne streaked by him at an incredibly rapid speed. She was running at her best pace, full out, arms and legs pumping forcefully. As she blurred by he knew she was using magic. Even a Human servant wasn't that fast on their own. The reason why she was running so fast streaked by on the other side of Him. his eldest son was making all speed in an attempt to catch Lianne. Even at such a pace he could see that his son did not persue her as food, but as a mate. "Seems like a fun game Raziel! Might I join you in the chase?" Kain called out. A gutteral response of, "Come ahead father!" Was all he caught before his son turned a corner and disappeared.

He stretched carefully, giving his son and the woman Lianne a few more minutes head start, then he took his mark like a runner in a race and shot off faster even then Raziel had been going. Kain soon closed the gap between himself and his eldest child. Ahead they could both see her firm rear moving almost seductively as she ran as hard as she could. They looked at one another and grinned. "A repeat of the harvest festival?" Kain inquired? "You may have top this time!" Raziel agreed. They both winked at one another and increased their speeds. before they had been perfoming at human super athelete levels, now they were in the bottom ranges of Vampire Lord abilities.

Lianne looked back and saw two not one ferally grinning Vampire Lords behind her. "Oh so that's how it is now eh? Fine then her's a challenge for you both to overcome!" She shouted over her shoulder. Then Lianne began to speak another spell.Bright white wings grew from her back exploding outwards with a snap, and carrying her aloft. they had not flesh too them, being made of solid magical energies. She managed to attain an altitude of about six feet off the floor, the ceiling vault was about eight feet above her. She glided now, her former momentum carrying her even faster now that she had taken a more aerodynamic shape. her wings almost brushed the walls on each side of her. then a person appeared down in the middle of the hall she had just turned into.

"Darn it Jeremy! Get out of the way!" She shouted. Her Vampire cousin dove to one side and went down on one knee, safely out of the path of his relative and her pursuers. Several other halls were even more filled with humans and Vampires but these were used to something being chased through the halls daily and knew to dive and dodge out of the way when they saw the flying human and her Lordly hunters coming.

With a cry of unadulterated joy, Lianne flew up the short flight of steps and out onto the battlements. She had never imagined flying could be such a pleasureable experience! That and the euphoria of being far ahead of her pursuers made her almost giddy with delight. She looked back and saw that they were still reasonably close. It was time to test out the capabilities of her new appendages. She snapped them fully open and began beating them in time with her throbbing heart. This made Lianne's speed increased twofold at least. She laughed wildly and beckoned to her hunters with her right hand. "Come on and get me! You're not even really trying!" The gesture semed to say. Kain and Raziel screamed like they were both frustrated, starving fledges, a truly frightening sound if ever she had heard one. She could tell though that the two were having the time of the century pursuing her this way. She turned the corner and winger her way along the South wall of the battlements. Still beconing as she had before every other moment.

"How might we do this? If we drag her down as a cat does a bird she will loose most of the skin on her underside as well as maybe breaking her neck!" Raziel asked of his maker. "I have a way to catch her without harming her Raziel, but the change to us will be permanent." Kain whispered his answer in his son's ear. "How?" Raziel asked again. "We too may have wings but ours by our very nature are forbidden the stuff of light. ours must be of our own flesh and grown from our own backs. Are you ready?" He asked his favored progeny. "Yes Father! Do it!" he cried out. Kain fell back behind his eldest son and lay his claws side by side in the space right between Raziel's shoulderblades. A single word sent a pulse of power through his eldest's flesh and began the growth process. He reached behind himself and placed a similar pulse between his own shoulderblades. A moment later Raziel screamed out again, his cry more pained then desirous. The wings ripped forth from his back and arched out into the moonlit night. Kain's own ripping out a moment later. A few quick flaps flung any clinging gore and black blood from the wings that dried to be a supple leathery texture like unto a bat's. kain's were as green as the rest of him with darker veins coursing through them. raziels were a golden tawny color several shades darker then his eyes, with ebony colored claws at the points where they bent. Kain's claws were also black on his wings.

Liane looked back and saw the two lifting off the battlements, learning the rythms of flight that had been implanted magically into her muscles. The two Lords learned exceptionally fast though. It was probably natural for vampires to get wings at a much later life stage. Yet Kain had forced it in himself and Lord Raziel. It occured to her why they did this. If thy had tried to pull her from the sky she would have been very seriously injured if not killed. Their concern made her feel very warmly inclined towards her pursuers, even more so then before.

She had reached the Northern battlements, and she knew that soon it would grow boring for the two to merely chase her around the familiar ground. So Lianne flung another beckoning gesture at the vampires and flew off the battlements in a power dive. She entered the woods and began to weave in and out of the tree cover. " Come on Milords! Or is little old me too fast for your elderly selves to keep up?" Lianne teased them. Then she took another extreme route through he thickening trees, slowing the vampire Lords on her tail just a bit.

Kain roared in defiance of her little maneuver. She was skilled at this, proving that he was right to insist on her joining his son in the quest to bring more humans back into their lands. Her magic would be a great help, and if he knew her pecularities at all she would also talk the abducted humans into being good little slaves rather then defiant captives. In her mind it would be for their own good. Kain flew in close and grinned at Raziel. "I have a plan my son. You stay on her trail while I try to get in ahead of her. Then we shall close the vice and she is caught!" Raziel nodded and turned back to the pursuit of their prey. His son's eyes gleamed like blood red embers now. If Lianne thought that he would be gentle with her when they caught her she was very mistaken. Kain knew himself very well, and he had not intention of restraining his passions ether. She was going to be on very exhausted human come the dawn!

Lianne sighed in ecstacy at the heat she felt from Lord Raziel. Usually her love was gentle with her, as if he might break her, and rightly so since he very well could break her if he did not restrain his titan-like strength. This time however, all of his control had been overridden by the powerful lust the hunt brought forth in him. If that was so she was sure that Kain would be in a simmilar state, with only marginally more control. "Now won't this be exciting!" She whispered to herself.

Kain flew up and up and up until he could see the gleam of Lianne's moonbeam wings, then he watched her for a moment. His rapid clever vampire's mind combined with the skills of a general when it came to strategy soon allowed him to determine the pattern that Lianne was unconsciously using to judge which way to turn. Kain saw a clearing up ahead on her course a ways and knew it would be a perfect spot to spring the pincher trap. He flew down and landed on a tall outcrop of rock. He faced the direction Lianne would be coming from and reached out to Raziel's mind. Be ready Raziel. The trap will be closing in about two minutes. Kain sent and recieved an affirmative response.

Lianne looked back and saw that one of her pursuers was missing. "Lovely! That means he'll be lying in wait someplace up ahead. Dandy trap they've thought up." She murmured to herself, then she increased her speed. She saw a clearing up ahead and knew for certain that it would be where her run/flight ended. Had she really been trying to evade them Lianne would have flown up and over Lord Kain and kept going, but she was as ready as they to end this little game with it's deeply pleasurable conclusion.

Raziel was deeply into the hunt, he saw Lianne pull up short, and knew the trap was sprung. He slowed and hovered just as she was doing. He heard her say something to lord Kain but the pounding of the blood in his veins blurred what it was. Luckily for her his maker commanded him to catch her just in time. Her wings had been made the quick way and ceased to exist the moment she stopped using them.

Lianne found herself clutched by the two lords, and pressed between their muscular bodies several dozen feet above the forest floor. Her heart was still throbbing from the exhiliration of the hunt, and both her captors could feel it beating against them. Kain and Raziel reared back, both sets of fangs extending to their fullest, then struck. Their bites landed perfectly over the old marks where they had bitten her before.Each Vampire lord took a full measure of blood, leaving Lianne slightly dizzy from it's loss. As always the wound's closed upon the command of their makers.

She looked into the bright gleaming Eyes of her Lord's Lord. Lianne liked what she saw there. Within his eyes she found equal parts, pleasure, awe, amusement, and promise. Lord Raziel slid one talon up her bare thigh all the way up till it settled around her waist. Lord kain did the same thing on the opposite side. when they realized that she didn't even have a petticoat they smirked so much alike that you would think them brothers not maker and progeny.

Raziel slid his claws around until they found her warm center. His soft mental chuckle, heard both by his maker and by Lianne told them he was amused by how wet she already was. "So very eager Lianne?" He teased. her slightly drunken chuckle was answer enough. "She will need rest when we are through, I believe the force of her heart caused us to take too much of her blood." Kain told him. Raziel nodded seriously, then the `boy with a much loved toy' look returned to his face.

Kain slid her skirt up till it bunched around her waist, revealing to his hungry gaze the perfection of form that had driven himself and all of his sons to madness with lust. He and Raziel realigned their bodies and slid home in her orifices exactly in sync with each other. She cried out in pleasure at being filled so completely.The pleasure was only enhanced by the novlety of their position, hovering in the air with wings beating in time with oneanother so that their hands would be free to caress her flesh into a fevered pitch of excitement.

Kain looked down into Lianne's face and saw that even though she had passed out she was still smiling. "My own hidden sanctuary is near, lets take her there Raziel." he instructed his eldest. "As you command Father." Kain flew off in a northwesterly direction until the reached an ancient oak almost two hundred feet high. In it's branches was a tree dwelling made of a wooden platform and a small structure built on top of it. here raziel lay Lianne on the bed and went out to hold council with his father about the upcoming ocean voyage.
