190 190 Stolen Humanity

"Oh!! I-I bit Nao! I-I took away her humanity." Yuki starts to panic and not think straight. She tries to escape Cedric's embrace.

"Shhhhhh. All you need to do is rest. Nao is fine and you are fine." Cedric holds her chin and kisses her. As he was kissing her his desires hit him but he ignored them as he consoled Yuki. "Sleep." He feels Yuki's body slam in his arms. He picks her up and carries her to the bedroom and lays her down. "I am sorry that you had to see that. I am sorry that I put you to sleep against your will." He tucks her into bed and then leaves the bedroom. He walks past the table.

"I will make sure she doesn't move." Claude watches Cedric as he walks past him.

Cedric doesn't acknowledge him and jumps into the ocean. He makes a small splash as he sinks deeper and deeper into the water. 'This is the worst. I did not want to give her those memories yet. Now there is nothing that I can do but feed her insanity.' He hit the bottom of the ocean and opened his eyes.

Sephira had followed Cedric and watched him jump into the water. She turned and was panicking. "Claude we have to help him!"

"Sephira, there is a lot that you do not know about. We will guard those that need it. There is nothing we can do. He needs to calm down or else his desires will cause him to attack someone. Let him be and come back inside." Claude leads her back inside.

Yuki felt the unbearable thirst and woke up and walked to the kitchen. She saw Claude and Sephira and ran up to them before she pounced at Sephira.

Claude pulled Sephira behind himself and grabbed onto Yuki. "Shhhh, drink the blood." He held her so that she could not get away. "Sephira, you are connected to Cedric if I start to weaken, please call him."

Yuki seeing how she was not able to attack Sephira, she sank her fangs into Claude. She drank the blood heavily and didn't stop; she did somehow manage to switch from blood to essence. She was crying.

Naomi woke up and came upstairs and pulled Yuki off Claude and hugged her. "Amaris, take what you need. You might not be able to bear the pain but take my blood again." She sweetly coaxed Yuki and exposed her shoulder.

Yuki held onto Naomi and she paused for a moment but then bit into her. She drank the blood then stopped and pushed her away. "Why? Why do you love me so much?"

Naomi sweetly got up and pulled Yuki back to her bedroom. "It is because you are my everything. Wait until you see the memory. If I say too much it will only hurt you. Come and let's sleep." She coaxed Yuki to follow her.

Yuki got off the floor and pulled Naomi to the bedroom. She flopped on the bed and pulled Naomi with her. "Nao, stay with me."

"Okay, I will stay with you. You have calmed down now. Let's sleep." Naomi held Yuki close and waited.

Yuki held onto her and as she fell asleep her body relaxed and she was no longer at risk of waking up.

Naomi kissed Yuki on the forehead and left the bed. She looked at Claude and sighed. "You're still bleeding. I am sorry for stopping her."

"Just stop the bleeding please." Claude was holding a towel to his neck.

Naomi cut her finger and dripped her blood on the bite marks and the wound sealed shut. "Sorry for my lateness."

Cedric walked into the room and looked at everyone. "Naomi go rest. You can sleep with Yuki. I want to discuss what will happen with Claude tomorrow."

"As you wish." Naomi bowed and left and went back to Yuki. She snuggled back into Yuki's embrace and passed out.

"First, I am sorry for what happened. Sephira, this is new for you but Claude and I are used to her violent outbreaks. You are in a delicate time so what we do is to save you and the baby. Hathor, I forbid you from entering the ship tomorrow. I am sorry." Cedric bows his head.

"It seems like a dip in the ocean cleared away your lust?" Claude looks at him and pats his back. "Sephira, not that I do not know that you are strong. I will not bring you back here. She took a lot from me but I will be okay. I was able to force her to switch from blood to essence. I have had years of practice."

"Will it really be that bad again?" Sephira looks at the room then at the guys and sees the gloominess above their heads. "I will stay away tomorrow then but you must promise that you both will be okay."

"I promise that I will make sure that this idiot will not get harmed." Cedric tries to smile but fails. "I am sorry. I thought that she would be okay but that memory is harsh."

Sephira looks from Claude to Cedric. "I may not completely understand but I do know that this seems like it will be hard on both of you. Is there anything at all that I can do to help?"

"I want you to be safe but if you must do something cook me food. When I get back I will be too exhausted to cook but I will be ravenous." Claude looks at Sephria and touches her cheek.

"Okay, I will ask that you and Sephira go back to your ship. I need the rest and so do you." Cedric stood up at stretch. "I will keep my promise."

Claude looks up at Cedric. "Okay, we will go back. I will leave Sephira on the ship and come over when the sun sets." He got up and took Sephira with him.

Cedric looked at the mess and got up while sighing. He went into the bedroom and slipped under the blanket. He held Yuki in his embrace from behind while Naomi was snuggled in her arms.
