207 207 The Letters Burned

Cedric sighs and pushes his hair back. "Well, that is the first one down. I cannot go back to the past and change my choices but I can make things right and destroy anyone that decides to destroy the love I have."

Adam was sitting on the bed in a daze and touched his neck. "I think that I am happy right now. I was worried that by joining you that you would kill me or worse yet make me a slave and order me to do a lot of things."

Yuki sealed the bit marks and got off the bed. She went to the cupboard and tossed clothing to Adam and Naomi. "Get dressed. This is only half the battle. You both know that we have a lot of work left to do." She pulled out a dress and put it on.

Naomi got off the bed and got dressed feeling full and happy. She watched as Yuki get dressed and smiled. Naomi reached behind her back and could not reach the zipper and frowned.

Adam got up and got dressed when he saw her struggling. He walked up and did up the zipper then walked away. "I will not do anything you do not want me to."

Yuki smiled and slipped the dress over her head and pulled it down. The dress was a blue swirled dress that came to her knees and had swirls of sparkles incorporated on the dress. She adjusted the spaghetti straps and looked at the bed. "Leave it like that and we should leave. Adam, call your family and ask if they have heard from Payton. Cedric, block her number." Yuki flips her hair out and touches Naomi, taking her back to the ship.

"Welcome back, you two. Those dresses are quite lovely." Sephira was sitting at the table munching on a chicken leg. "How did it go?"

"Mission complete. Where is Claude hiding at?" Yuki went and sat down next to Sephira. She grabbed a french fry.

"With the captive. He was worried he might try to escape but he is also feeding him. Where is Cedric?" Sephira doesn't see Cedric or the guy that they were supposed to meet.

"I-I'll be back." Naomi walks away from the two and goes into the bedroom to take a shower.

Yuki giggles, "They are adding the finishing touches before they leave and go back to where we belong. Don't mind Naomi. Her mind is a little confused but that is to be expected." She picks up another french fry and eats it. "Did you have a good time with Claude?"

"Oh, it was a lovely time. We ordered a ton of food and brought a lot back and then ordered some to get delivered. I think the shopkeepers were surprised. Claude told them that we had a party of thirty on the ship. We told them that we were going to be travelling back and wanted to have some delicacies of the island." Sephira placed the bones from the leg in a bag that was on the floor.

Yuki laughs and eats another fry. "That is the perfect cover. Has everything arrived?" She says this and hears a person come up to the ship. "I will get this batch." She walked out and went down the ramp. "Thank you for accommodating us."

The guy smiles and hands the box over to Yuki. "Sorry, it might be a bit heavy. It is not a big deal. We like to help visitors try out the local food and it boosts business. I have two more boxes for you." He bowed and went back to his car.

Yuki carried the box to the dining room and left to get the next one. "Well, I must say this smells simply divine. You guys really outdid yourselves." She took the second box and Cedric came onto the deck and took the box from her.

"I got this." Cedric kisses her cheek before leaving with the box and comes out and goes down with her to help collect the box. "Do you know if there are any more places that will be bringing food to the ship?"

"There is one more company, Sir. I am going to pick up the food and then you will be able to take off for your return trip. I am sorry for the wait." He hands the box to Cedric before rushing back to his car.

Cedric chuckled as the kid ran away. "I will give him a tip when he comes back with the last of the order. Claude sure went overboard. I do hope that he plans on eating a lot of this."

Claude stepped out and glared at Cedric. "I would hope that you and the others would like at least a little bit. Sephira is still transitioning but her hunger has increased, so I of course over-ordered." He went to take the box from Cedric.

Cedric sidestepped and walked past him. He placed the box down and pulled out the letters. "You will read these instead of worrying about these things."

Claude saw the handwriting and gently took the letters. "A-are they authentic?" He touched them and opened the first one. As he read his eyes watered. "Yes, this is the true writing of Mother." He held the paper up to the moon and saw a hidden message. He wiped the tears and read it out loud. ~Claude, you are a good son and you need to protect your sister with everything you have. You will always be our wolf boy.~

Yuki saw the writing and smiled. "She did one for the moon and one for the sun. The sun revealed the true name." She watched as the paper caught fire and burned up. "No wonder it stayed intact."

Claude shook his head and picked up the one from Ryan and read the message. He held it up to the moonlight. ~Claude, now that everything is starting to be set in place you should also settle down. Your sister will not need you every day but you will need a companion to sedate your protectiveness.~
