Chapter 385: The Danger Within
"How so?" Laz asked, still petting the naked and purring Nora who was enjoying the cuddle time.
"Well. How many times have you been around someone who lost it?" Nora asked, not bothering to open her eyes.
"Like, mentally lost it?" Laz asked, wondering what she meant.
"No silly. You know back when all this began, those who had awoken to their abilities sometimes had a mental break down?"
"Yeah. And?," Laz said, remember the downstairs tenant of the apartment complex he used to live in.
"Well. it wasn’t like they couldn’t handle it so much so that their blood ran rampant and basically destroyed them from within. It was too strong, too soon and they didn’t know how to handle it or who to talk to. Anyway, the point is that they all experience a great mood change before it happened, one that they couldn’t control. And with that, their blood and natural instincts took over, causing them to become monsters," Nora explained.
"And you’re worried that Celes might be going down that path? But she’s way past the awakening stage..." Laz said, connecting the dots.
"I’m not so sure that it matters. Once the feelings take hold, it can be very dangerous. Especially if its someone who is way stronger than normal." Nora responded back, reaching her hands up to get Laz to keep going with the pets.
Laz continued to pet her while still organizing his thoughts. While he had never heard of something like this, that didn’t mean it couldn’t happened. Still though, one thing puzzled him.
"If you’re sure she is going down this path, shouldn’t you be a bit more worried?" Laz asked, seeing Nora nuzzle into him playfully while being fully content. Even the welts on her body were disappearing at a rate visible to the eye as her body started going back to it’s normal state of unfeeling.
"First off, I’m not sure. But even if she is, I trust you to fix her."
"Me? Fix her? I thought that something like fixing a person isn’t something one person can do? It takes a lot of people and time and it’s not about fixing, it’s about helping them through it?"
"Been reading a bunch of self help books lately? Well, maybe you’re right, but not for this. This is quite literally something that you can fix," Nora looked up at Laz with a smile.
"How so?"
"Give her obsession a path of release."
"Huh?"
"Fuck her. Fuck her brains out. Maassssttteeeerrrr..... you just need to give that girl the dicking of her lifetime and she will be wonderful. Simply and easy," Nora purred while saying it seductively.
"I’m not sure that sex can just cure everything..."
"Maybe not normal sex. But with you, it’s different. I can’t say for sure one way of the other whether this is a mental problem she is having or a bloodline problem. Afterall, we women can be strange creatures even if we didn’t have the whole infected shit going on with us. But I think that there really is something special about your blood and in turn... your man juice. So it’s probably worth a shot. I can’t even begin to tell you how much it’s helped me." With this, Nora laid back down on Laz’s lap and silently drifted off to sleep while Laz still thought about it.
It truth, it shouldn’t have bothered him so much.
’What does it matter if this girl is obsessed with me? Not really my problem, right?’ Laz thought to himself but then mentally slapped himself for it.
’No. No. It is an issue. She’s suppose to be the leader here and if she spends all of her time and effort following me around like some crazed jilted lover, that would be a problem. And one day, I will leave and she needs to stay here.... ah fuck.’
Laz knew that she needed to be here to lead the order. There was no telling what might happen one day and while Gretchen and Wilma seemed like they were healthy and would have many years ahead of them, if something did occur, the entire order would go down without Celes.
And more than that, even though Laz’s impression of Celes went from bad to worse over time, ever since he took the time out with her one on one to develop her abilities, Laz had noticed many admirable traits about her.
Her strength for one. Her abilities a close second. And her character really was suited for this type of responsibility, at least it seemed that way to him. Laz had seen so many new sides to her over the past few days that even he was surprised that she was hiding so much. Thinking back to that time when Gretchen had made her, Joan and Gia apologize, Laz couldn’t help but chuckle. At least, until he remembered what was currently happening. His grandpa, on his lucid days, would always remind Laz not to stick his dick in crazy. While he didn’t really understand at the time having still been a virgin, he now knew what the old man really meant.
"Am I really going to do this? And fuck... is this even the right answer?" Laz pondered as Nora turned over in his embrace.
Sighing to himself, Laz picked her up and then walked both of them upstairs to her bed.
’Never really understood just how much a good bed can help a person rest. Glad I’m not back in my other room at least.’ Laz said a silent prayer to a no name god and laid down next to her, only to feel her arms wrap around him and hug him off to sleep.
...
Back in Laz’s room, a shadow appeared, silent like a mist and as black as the void. The layers of darkness peeled away to reveal a naked girl with pale, white skin and long hair, as black as the shadows that had encased her.
While panting, she crawled into the empty bed with sheets that hadn’t been changed in almost a week and started to touch herself, plunging her fingers deep within while pinching her pink, small nipple. As she laid there pleasuring herself, she pushed her head harder and harder into the sheets and breathed in deeper and deeper. Her rhythm increased ten fold as her juices soaked the sheets and she yelled out, finally cuming in such wild abandon that she left a trail of wet honey from herself to the door.
As she collapsed back onto the bed, she muttered to herself,
"It barely smells like him anymore... damn...."
Despite this, she still hugged the sheets around her tightly like armor and drifted off to sleep.
When she awoke the next morning, she rose to the sun just coming over the horizon. Seeing that she was still in Laz’s room, a part of her was shocked at having lost control again while another part of her just wanted to hug his pillow and go back to sleep. Then she remembered the loss of scent and decided to leave quickly.
She didn’t want to be seen coming out of his room, especially if people discovered he wasn’t in it. Despite her inexplicable obsession, she still had a rational head on her shoulders for most things. It was only where Laz was involved that she couldn’t control herself and even she didn’t know why. Whenever she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out when her feelings towards him had changed. She didn’t like him from the first time they met out in the field and her meetings with him after words from the shower scene to the training field had left her hating him more and more.
Despite that, she knew that something had changed somewhere, she just didn’t know where. The first time she felt it though was when he started giving her one on one lessons. Even without him trying, he gave off an air of might and strength, one that oozed from his very being and wrapped around those who where near him for too long. She respected him after the first day, was intrigued by him after the second and became infatuated by day three. Everything just went down hill after that.
As for following him while he had rough sex with her older ’sister?’ That came when the infatuation hit. At first, she didn’t get too close, afraid he would discover her. But because of that fear, she worked harder and harder to learn to conceal her presence until she knew that she had succeeded. That day, when he couldn’t find her unless he used his skill, she knew the first mission she was going on and that was to spy on him and her. Everything after that was what Laz already knew about. Having watched the show and wanting so bad to be in Nora’s place despite not knowing how she felt about being restrained and whipped, Celes had started pleasuring herself with her fingers but wanting something long and hard in there instead. Grabbing the closest thing at hand that worked, the extra thick test tube, Celes had gotten so into it that her juices made the tube impossible to hold on to causing it to slip and fall. But even with the risk of being discovered, she didn’t go far.
In then end, after having enjoyed everything and wishing it were her, she retreated back to Laz’s room where she had been staying all those nights that she didn’t dare follow him to closely.
But now even that place was losing it’s scent and therefore appeal.
’I need more....’ Celes said to herself in a voice she barely knew of as her own.
Today was another day where he would be training her and this time, she wanted more of him. Something she could keep close, something fresh. She already had this thought before, but he hardly ever left clothes laying around ever since he switched back to using his own.
’Wait... wait... in her lab... she has samples of his blood, right? She wouldn’t notice if one goes missing, will she? If i can get some of that... maybe it would smell like him? No, I can do better. Some of that... and maybe I can get those ass hugging shorts he likes to wear to practice. Those would smell just like his massive.... ooooooooooooOOOOOOO!’ Thinking along these lines, Celes had a crazy idea that she couldn’t stop herself from wanting to do no matter how much her inner voice told her not to.
First, she would skip the afternoon training for the group and sneak into Nora’s lab for the blood. Then, when she showed up later for her own training, she would steal his shorts. With those two things, a spell became clear in her head, one that would make him her own for as long as she wanted him.
Even while the voice in her head screamed at her not to, Celes made her preparations for tonight.
