Moving into the dark (Closed)

[JadeKnight]

"Ok, then I will proceed."

He had been running a few scenerios through his head while they had been waiting on her to go to sleep, based on the equipment he had to work with. Technically making her die would be the last resort. If he pulled it off right, and no more surprises had been left by Thanatos, Alicia would only be paralyzed for a short while till the missing bone and nerves were rebuilt.

The top of the tank was left open so that he could use the instruments. Two arms lowered into the tank, clasping just under her arms and over her waist to hold her in position.

"This is gonna get messy."

He turned on the regulators to keep the fluid moving in a constant circle. Next he lowered a laser scapel into the water, hovering over her back. He carefully cut away the skin on her back, exposing her spine. The medical nanites were doing what they needed, trying to replace the lost skin and muscle.

Next he positioned the scapel so that he cut above the bomb into her third vertebrate. Then he worked to cut quickly through her third vertebrae. A third arm lowered down, grasping around the ticking bomb. Zion took a deep breathe for a moment before he proceeded.

The top cut and bottom cut had to be redone to fight against the medical nanites before he could pull the bomb out. By the time he extracted the bomb, it had ticked down to 2 hours left. He dropped the bomb into his hand before releasing Alicia from her confinment.

"Watch her while I dispose of this thing."

He gave both of them a kiss on the forehead before heading out to find the robot, leaving them to take care of Alicia.

 

[katalynn]

There were a couple of moments where Alicia would would twitch and her vitals would spike when the nerves were touched. Talia couldn't tell if it was from the nanites or him, in either case it didn't appear to be serious enough for alarm. Talia would hit a few keys that would settle things down and Alicia stabilized afterwards.

Kyleen would watch at times, though the logs of her parents kept most of her attention as her tail flicked from aggravation of what she read. More and more she is glad that Thanatos is gone and even more proud of herself that she is the reason for his death. She barely noticed when Zion had finished until she kissed her before leaving.

Talia kept watching the screen and punched in a few more keys after learning what they all meant. There wasn't much in the way of programs for her to work with, unlike with what Zion provided Kyleen. There were some simulations, though from what she could tell, not a single one were created to be pleasant. Most were made for the cruel testings, harsh environments that would push the subjects to their limits, perhaps even further.

She finally managed to find a simulation that didn't seem all that harsh and she was able to control what went in it, unlike the others. Here she created a nice scenic view of the ocean, trying to mimic what she had seen herself at the beach. Once she was done, she hit the keys that would slowly wake Alicia up. When she does wake up, she'll be in a house, much like the ones surrounding Zions place and in a comfortable bed. It took Talia sometime to find a way to communicate with Alicia, but eventually found how to make it all work.

Kyleen read a few more pages before looking around the lab with mixed emotions racing wildly in her eyes. There were two other tanks in the lab, yet only the one that Alicia is in is being used. The other two haven't been touched in years since Thanatos had no more subjects. She stared at the tank blankly and lost as she watched the scene unfold, memories that she didn't know she had broke through.

A few moments went by before she threw the log book down and ran out of the room, telling Talia that she needed to get some air. In the process she ran right into Zion like she didn't see him there at all, it didn't stop her from wanting to get passed him though.

 

[JadeKnight]

He had just given the bomb to the robot and was on his way back to check on Alicia when Kyleen bumped into him.

"Careful little one."

He didn't stop her though, seeing she was trying to get past him. He let her go, watching her walk away. After a few moments, he followed after her as he kept his distance from her. He wasn't sure what was going on, but she was in a hurry.

 

[katalynn]

Talia looked back to see Kyleen running into Zion, then saw the log book after that she assumed that Kyleen had discovered what happened. One less concern to worry about, Talia had been waiting for the right time to tell her, yet, that time never seemed to be right. Not only that, she only knew a few little details about them through rumors and from what little Thanatos spoke. She wouldn't have been able to answer too many questions that Kyleen may had. Still, this wasn't the best of times to discover that either. It couldn't be helped in either direction things went, she would have found out sooner or later, especially now that he is gone and no longer controls his secrets.

Kyleen shook her head, barely hearing his words as she ran outside. Normally she would have gone to her room and locked the door behind her. That didn't happen this time considering it is no longer her room, in fact nothing here felt like home anymore. Even the scenery that she used to love is ruined now. In that moment, she had no where to run without being reminded of Thanatos. The only place she can run is deep into the gardens, to the furthest point she could possibly run before hitting to the boarder where a cove hid.

She couldn't focus on anything as she looked around the cove, realizing that all this was made for her when she was a kid. The flowers were all her favorites, right down to her favorite colors. The initial emotion that surfaced was her anger and frustration of not being able to see all this earlier. She let that anger build too fast as she tried to keep it bottled up and a burst of wind escaped, destroying all the flowers within its range. This happened a couple more times until she exhausted herself into tears and fell down to her knees. The beautiful cove looked as though a tornado ripped through it with leaves and flower petals still falling in the air around her.

 

[JadeKnight]

He kept his distance as he followed her, decided to let her deal on her own. When she reached the little cove, he remained at the edge of it. He sat down, sighing as he watched her. He figured she had found something terrible, and needed to let things run their course. There really wasn't much he could do for her.

He looked at the destroyed flowers, shaking his head.

"Need any help?"

 

[katalynn]

Kyleen hadn't realized that she was being watched until hearing his question. Typically she can hold back the emotions and more often than not she lets them out when alone. And yet he has seen her cry more times that Thanatos ever has.

"I wish to go home Daddy. Please, I will be good girl and I will get into our tank... but I do not want to go back into this lab. Please Daddy."

She broke even further as she spoke and curled up within her tails. Through his marking he can sense that she felt lost, almost as if she didn't know who she is anymore. Wondering how many of her memories are true or lies and that nothing felt real anymore.

 

[JadeKnight]

He sighed for a moment, saddened to see her in this state. He had no plans to put her in the tank here, it would have been cruel of him to do so. In fact, he had plans to change the way things were done here, but that would be a different time all together.

He moved to her, sitting down near her before pulling her into his lap. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

"I had no plans on putting you into these tanks. You do not have to come here ever again, if that is what you desire. I will not put you through such pain again."

He kissed her forehead lightly as his fingers stroked her tails gently.

"We can leave once Alicia is better and able to take over things. That should not take more than a few hours. Everything will be better for you, I promise my little one."

 

[katalynn]

Kyleen had never cried so hard in her life, at least not that she knew of. And she cried until she couldn't set free anymore tears. Several minutes later she managed to calm down, mostly out of exhaustion and emotional stress as she remained curled in his lap.

"He... He killed her.. in there while... I was.."

She choked on the last couple words and regained her breath again.

"After I was born... For years he altered my memories... Something about me becoming too dangerous..."

She looked out from her tails finally, the cool air stinging the tear stains on her cheeks.

"He has my memories locked somewhere. I don't know if I want them... but I don't want them destroyed either. The logs didn't say where they were. Just that the discs were handed to him personally."

Resting against his chest, her eyes closed and she tried to relax her pounding heart. Although she didn't fall asleep, didn't mean that it wouldn't take much. She used more energy all at once destroying the flowers than she remembers ever using. On top of what the rest of this day put in her path, she is one exhausted kitsune.

"Thank you... for everything Daddy.."

 

[JadeKnight]

He stayed quiet, letting her do as she wanted to. He continue to hold her the entire time, lending his support as best he could. Once she was finally finished, he smiled to her.

"You are welcome little one. I only want the best for you and to see you grow."

His fingers continued to pet her tails gently as he spoke. He could see how tired she was, knowing they all had an exhausting and long day. He was proud of her, seeing her grow as she had, even if there had been a little bit of stumbling along the way.

"You made me proud, no matter what others might think. What we do from here can wait. You are worn out and need some sleep."

 

[katalynn]

His words brought more comfort than he will ever know and made her smile. After calming down more, she started shivering despite being curled in her tails. She also thought about her request compared to his answer and had to rethink some of it.

"I know you need to go back, and I wish for you to hold me a little longer. Not to mention I don't want to be left alone either."

She looked up at him thinking of a way of work around the situation, in reality she didn't want to look at this place anymore. Yet, they had to stay here for a few hours, no way did she want to go home alone, not with that elf out there doing funny thing with her.

"will you blindfold me? At least for a little, I don't want to see this place right now... Sure as hell don't want to see the lab ever again."

 

[JadeKnight]

He chuckled a little at her request to be blindfolded. He didn't do it to be mean, but he did find it a little amusing. However, he didn't make any snide comments about it. Instead he just smiled.

"If that is what you want done, then so be it. You can rest a bit and then we'll wake you before we leave."

He kissed her softly for a moment before he ripped a large piece of cloth from the bottom of his shirt. He folded it in half length-wise before tying it over Kyleen's eyes. He held her for a little longer before carrying her inside the mansion once more.

He laid her down in one of the guest rooms before closing the door behind him. He left orders with a couple of Talia's former pack to make sure Kyleen wouldn't be disturbed. Then he made his way back to the lab.

 

[katalynn]

Kyleen smiled when he chuckled, she could only imagine what he thought in that moment. Though she didn't explain herself any further, only admitting that it is what she needed right now. It wasn't only because she didn't want to see the place anymore. Most of it had to do with sensory overload, she needed a break from it all and recharge emotionally. Something she couldn't do if everything reminded her of something.

It didn't take long for her to fall asleep as she focused on the last visit to the beach. She also stopped shivering so much while using him and her tails for heat. She shifted some as he walked and moved with her, though she never woke up or heard him leave.

Alicia was just waking up when he came back, asking Talia where she is and wondering why she couldn't move. Talia explained as much as she could and told Alicia to relax and heal.

When Zion came in, Talia looked at him and grinned, shutting her side of the mic off so Alicia couldn't hear.

"Would you like some good news?"

 

[JadeKnight]

Zion smirked for a moment as he sat back down, looking over at Talia.

"Who doesn't want to hear good news? And what good news do you have for me, besides the fact it looks like Alicia looks better now?"

 

[katalynn]

Talia left the mic on so they can hear Alicia, in case something more is needed. For now, Alicia is fine and before too long, she realized she can at least move around in the simulation. Giving her something while her body recovers.

Talia moved to straddle on his lap and kissed him before continuing.

"I did a little test... considering you two were talking about the whole rape thing... Our little Alicia is now a mother. The surgery obviously stressed her body out, however, it all does appear to be unharmed. From what can be tested anyway, of course it is far too soon to tell otherwise."

She slid her hands underneath his shirt and clawed down his chest. Not enough to cut him, though she's pretty certain there are some trails that followed.

"How is Mistress doing? You two were gone for quite a while."

 

[JadeKnight]

He mmed into the kiss for a moment before his hands settled on Talia's hips. He grinned for a moment nearing the news.

"Is that so? That is rather good news it seems. Sometimes all it takes is once."

He closed his eyes for a moment as he felt her nails run along his chest, mming.

"She is doing better now. It seems that she found a few things here in the lab that upset her. She needed to blow off a bit of steam. I laid her to rest in one of the guest rooms."

His hands ran softly up and down Talia's thighs as he continued to speak.

"She wanted to go home, but I told her we will in a few hours. Once Alicia feels up and ready to take control of things here. Then we can go on the little vaction I promised."

He grinned and leaned forward, capturing Talia's mouth with his in a passionate kiss for a few moments before releasing it.

 

[JadeKnight]

......

 

[katalynn]

Talia groaned deeply into the kiss, savoring every possible second she could. Deep down she couldn't help be a tiny bit jealous, after all, she knows he had fun with the other two girls. And though she hid it well, her eyes most likely gave it away as he broke the kiss.

"Sounds like she finally found the truth about her mother. She died in that very same tank giving birth to Kyleen. They wouldn't stop testing on her, pushing her until the very end. I only heard about it, never knew the all the details."

She sighed, glancing at the logs that were spilled out on the floor.

"But that is all in the past, time to give her new and happier memories. I think a vacation sounds like a wonderful. Give Mistress a break from all this place has done. Where do you plan on taking us?"

Talia kept caressing his chest with her nails, most the time she would do it lightly, other times she would dig just enough for a reaction.

 

[JadeKnight]

He shook his head slightly at hearing how Kyleen's mother had been treated. It had been a cruel way to go. He was greatful his creators had decided not to run such harsh tests on him, beyond those required to get his skills up.

"It is a pity that happened. But, as you say, that is in the past."

He closed his eyes as she continued to scratch and knead on his chest, mming softly. He just relaxed and enjoyed the attention she gave him.

"I am not completely sure just yet. I was heavily leaning towards Paris for a few days. Plenty of sights and things to do."

He moved his hands up along her sides, gently moving his hands up and down her sides.

 

[katalynn]

"My brother cared for no-one but himself. Hell, I was his sister and he is the one that turned me into what I am. Some silly agreement he made with the wolf you killed. Took his wolf blood, stuck in me, then well... Tossed me to the wolves as a game."

She sighed thinking of the things she read in those other journals about herself. Again, reminding herself that the past is just that, the past. Although, she is starting to understand where Kyleen is coming from, everything about this place is nothing but one bad memory after another.

Shaking her head and smiling, not once did she stop the caressing, especially since he seemed to enjoy it so much, there wasn't any reason to stop.

"I think Paris would be a wonderful place to visit. I went there once, though it was for a job and not much sight seeing. One of those in and out type deals."

Grinning she let the sharper claws take shape and carefully slit down the center of his shirt, slowly watching it open up for her. Smiling at the red trails she had created, then slowly traced over each mark. Stopping to tease his nipples in the process. The claws were sharper so she didn't dare do what she was moments ago, otherwise she would cut him.

"Mistress was impressive though. I didn't even see what she did and I was with her the entire time. She made no motion to indicate she applied the poison. She touched him once to fix his position, but beyond that, never touched him again. And she remained calmed the entire time as well. You should have seen her."

 

[JadeKnight]

He was silent as he enjoyed listening to Talia talk, along with her attention to his chest. Though he didn't say it out loud, he felt that his intervention into the life of his mate and pet was the right thing for them. After all, things would have been a whole lot worse without him.

He opened his eyes as he felt his shirt fall open, smirking to her.

"It sounds like she did well for her first time. I hope you recorded everything."

He chuckled for a moment and ran his fingers lightly over Talia's cheeks for a moment.

"Don't worry, I made sure and got everything recorded, including the wedding. We should have a viewing later."

He leaned forward and kissed her softly for a moment.

"Do you regret me coming into yours and Kyleen's life?"

 

[katalynn]

She laughed lightly thinking about his question.

"Yes, I got it all.. In fact the battery is most likely dead by now. It got everything from the interview to you talking with Alicia. I never shut it off."

She giggled again while returning his kiss. His question however was a bit more serious and truth is, she didn't know how to answer it. Looking down at what she did to his chest to avoid his eyes.

"I did at first... When you raped me and then ran off with her. At first I didn't want to care what happened to her. But then, she is the closest thing to a sister I have. I didn't want what you did to me to happen to her. She doesn't deserve to be raped."

Then she smiled weakly for a moment, smirking as she thought about how to continue the answer.

"I still don't know how you took her the first time. But it is clear that you make her happy, I don't think I have ever seen her so happy like she is with you. And much has happened since then.."

Shaking her head and finally looking up to meet his eyes, he has proven himself time and time again that she couldn't help be attached to him.

"You could have left me with the wolf and yet you came for me. Ever since then, I haven't regretted any of it. I am honored to be by your side and glad that you came into our lives."

 

[JadeKnight]

He smiled and nodded, hearing her answer. Then he grinned for a moment.

"If you must know, she gave herself willing to me. Three days after being kidnapped."

He grinned and took her chin between his fingers for a moment.

"The reason I raped you when we first met was to teach you a lesson about following the wrong person. However you didn't learn, and the next time it ended up with you stuck between Kyleen and I again."

He laughed and smacked the side of her ass with his other hand.

"You just can't stay out of trouble, can you?"

 

[katalynn]

Talia giggled while listening to him about Kyleen giving herself to him, somehow she can see that happening. She yelped and jerked from the smack, laughing at his question.

"Did I not ever tell you? Trouble is my middle name."

Sticking her tongue out provocatively and quickly licked his nose.

"The real question is, do you regret any of this? Taking on one highly sensitive kitsune and a trouble making wolf?"

She giggled and decided to lick his nose one more time for good measure.

"Especially a wolf that doesn't learn what you teach her...."

 

[JadeKnight]

He wiggled his nose for a moment as she licked on it. He smirked and laughed softly.

"Trouble is your middle name? What would be your last name then? Talia Trouble what?"

He knew she would probably want to take his last name, since she was his pet. He just wanted to hear her say it.

"As far as regrets go...If I regreted it, I probably would have dumped both of you at the first sign of trouble. However, you two are my greatest treasure and will always be."

He grinned for a moment before he suddely picked her up and turned her around, bending her over the console before smacking her raised ass hard with his hand.

 

[katalynn]

Talia didn't have time to respond as he lifted her up and suddenly felt the burning in her ass. It took a little bit of effort to not hit any buttons on the console, though she managed well enough.

"Well.. according my new ID, it is some fake name... But if you allow it... I would gladly take on your last name."

She glanced over her shoulder and grinned with every intention on standing up and defying the position he put her in.
