The Music of the Demons

Yeah, I just sort of realized, this story is going to be pretty long. I'm pretty sure i'm not even halfway done with it.

Spoonring: Here's your update!

Itchan: You're welcome, and thanks!

Kylee: Probably the jacking off ;)

Thanks for the reviews!

I figured then that I should probably let Kaden alone, at least for the rest of the night. I announced I was going to bed, to let him know that I wouldn’t be around when he went out.

I quickly made my way to my room, before collapsing on my bed in exhaustion. I hadn’t even done anything, and I felt like I was about to die.

Maybe the fact that I hadn’t got the kind of release that I really wanted?

I must be better at controlling myself than I originally thought, for I hadn’t gone after Kaden as I would have otherwise.

It was a thing with feeding. It was another reason why we didn’t feed until after we slept from out victim. So that they actually wanted it, and we had already had our release, too tired in that area to get it up again.

Also to tire them out so much that they wouldn’t notice anything, and find out what I was, what was really out there.

Hundreds of years ago, a vampire had fallen in love with a human girl. The love was mutual, or so everyone thought.

He told her everything one night, and then she cried wolf. Its another reason that we are solitary creatures. That man, the vampire that had been betrayed, was from my own clan.

The girl, she died, but not after telling a certain group about us, about our weaknesses. That group, they were hunters, humans who thought that we were demons, that brought death and destruction wherever we went.

Damn, even back then, we were careful to spare human life. Whatever bad happened to the humans, was their own fault.

We couldn’t ask for help from the other demons, it was our problem, and we had to deal with it.

But we couldn’t. We practically worshiped humans, they‘re blood kept us alive. That’s when my grandfather came. It was when my grandma was pregnant with my father, she was a demon, and they were happy. Gramps was worried about what would happen if they caught her.

It was funny, we were so adept at killing other demons, but when it came to a simple human...

He figured out how to fight back, and so he rallied the troops. We fought back, and we won. After that, a council was made, or the heads, as I and just about everyone else calls them. They call the shots, we have to tell them if we found a life partner, or, well, anything. The clan was still running low on members, which was why they were counting on everybody to contribute.

We had become one the strongest clans, and we were dying out. And truthfully? I didn’t care. It wasn’t in my time, I didn’t choose to be what I was.

And now, I really hated the clan even more, because they were threatening Kaden. They didn’t know it themselves, but they’d find out.

And we would be gone before they did.

Tomorrow was Tuesday, I had a plan that we’d leave on Sunday, the last day of my deal with my little mate.

Six days, I had six days, and only five to make Kaden mine.

I fell asleep trying to think of ways I could hurry everything up.

When I woke up, Kaden was just getting up, the drawers being angrily slammed shut soon afterwards. I had a feeling that he wouldn’t want me to be around him, so I laid there, listening as he went into the kitchen. He stayed in there for a little while, before I decided to get up.

After dressing, I made my way to the kitchen, to see Kaden laying his head down on the table, he looked up when I walked, though I stayed at the doorway.

“I’m going to go out for a while, do you want anything?” I had decided I was going to leave Kaden alone for the day. I hated having to do so, but my angel was going to figure this out on his own, and I couldn’t help him.

Kaden looked at my suspiciously, before shaking his head.

I licked my lips, before walking out the door. Damn it, I don’t want to leave him all alone. He could run, or someone else might decide to give me a surprise visit, though I doubted that would actually happen. Adam was the only one who ever came over.

And if Kaden ran? I don’t think he would, he had no reason too. At least I think so, because what does he know about me? That I took him in my home, and molested him after just a few days?

I wasn’t even sure if I was going to even leave the building.

Fuck, I didn’t know what to do.

I should call Adam though. I didn’t want him to come, but he had insisted earlier, and would track me down anyway.

I dialed his number in my cell. I wouldn’t even have it if he hadn’t stolen the damn thing, and put it in. I had been to lazy to take it out, and it also gave me a heads up if he called. That way I didn’t have to answer.

Adam answered on the second ring, sounding groggier then ever.

“What’s ya want?” Not much of a morning person, it seems.

“When we’re leaving. Sunday.” I told him, hearing him yawn, letting out a short hiss at the end. I heard creaking, and a woman’s voice on the other end, and I snorted. Figures.

“Fine. You called?”

“Yes, Kali’s getting me and Kaden a place.”

“You don’t seem too happy about it.” Adam had always claimed to be good at reading emotions. He was always blaring off some shit or something, but he’d hit the mark now.

“It’s nothing. We just might not have to leave anyway.” Kaden might decide that he doesn’t want to be with me.

“Why’s that? Changed your mind about the human?” He asked, sounding disappointed. As if I could change my mind about something like this so easily.

“That’s not it.” I really didn’t want to talk to him about it, especially not over the phone.

“Something happen between you and the kid?” I licked my lips again, my throat felt parched, remembering how delicious Kaden’s blood felt. Apparently my silence was enough to give Adam what he needed.

“What’d you do?” Funny how he thought it was my fault.

But it was, it was all my fault. I got us into this situation.

“I bit him.” Fuck, I can’t believe I’m spilling my guts to this man whore.

“Really? How’d he taste?” I guess I should’ve expected this, half my mind was thinking he would be screaming at me for my stupidity.

“Not going to say,” I couldn’t tell Adam that. Kaden was mine.

“That good, huh?”

“If you try anything, I swear…”

“Fuck that, I don’t swing that way.” Like Adam wouldn’t at least try. Not my angel, anyway. I would kill him, and he knew it. He wasn’t that pigheaded.

“So what, he didn’t like it or something.” He went on, and I sighed, remembering him thrusting against me.

“That’s not it.”

“Oh. Oh!” He seemed to have caught on. “So he likes it, huh? Good for you.” He actually seemed happy about it.

“And now he’s pissed.” If the angry look he was giving me in the kitchen was anything to go by.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I don’t know. I offered a deal.”

“What’d you say?” I told him the extent of our deal, and that I was going to get it affirmed later tonight, but now I had nothing to do.

“Could always go partying.”

“Fuck no.” I hated partying. I didn’t do it, and I never would. Besides, his idea of a party was finding someone to fuck, and I couldn’t do that to Kaden. I would never be with anyone else.

“Oh well, at least I tried,” Adam mumbled to himself. There was nothing else to say, so I said my goodbye, and hung up.

Well, that wasted about five minutes, now how to waste the next couple hours?

There was a library just down the street, I could just check something out, and wait outside the building in my car.

Yeah, that seemed like a plan.

Except there wasn’t anything in the library to read. Nothing I haven’t read already, anyway. I was more of mystery fanatic, and I'd read most of the ones that they had there.

Well, there were a few that I hadn’t read in a while, so I decided to reread.

I got in my car, and sat, starting a book, and finished it within a matter of hours. I was reading slowly, and it was boring me.

I started up another, before looking up longingly at the building. Kaden was alone, and I wanted to go up there, to see if he had decided. It was only 3 p.m., and I said I’d give him till night.

I sighed, before going back to my book, looking up whenever I saw someone coming out in the corner of my eye.

Soon, it was eight, and I had long since gone back to the library for something else.

This was late enough, right?

I decided that it was, before making my way back to my home, back to my little mate.

I opened the door quietly, and stepped in. Kaden was still there, looking fine. He was asleep on the couch, the TV on, to some movie with a lot of gore.

He looked so peaceful as he slept, I didn’t want to wake him, but he would have to wake up eventually, right?

I gently shook his shoulder, and he woke with a start.

When he saw me, he tried moving back, farther into the couch, and I felt like I was about to die.

“Have you decided?” I forced out of my mouth, not showing my despair at his actions against me.

I watched Kaden’s face, as he nodded. He looked sad, and wouldn’t look me in the eyes.

“What’d you choose?” I held my breath, though it’s not like it did anything. Kaden’s mouth opened, before closing. How I wished he would look me in the eye.

He finally did, his head tilted down, looking up like a sign of guilt.

“I… I’ll do it.”
