Innocent Devil’s Harem Ch. 13

Not to mention, even though I hadn't bitten into any major arteries or anything, there was still the risk of her getting an infection, which meant we'd have to make sure we cleaned it really well.

Nick seemed exhausted from all the running around, so he just slumped down and waited while I slowly took gulps of Gabriella's blood, seeming to crash now that his adrenaline rush was wearing off.

Once my internal wounds felt healed enough, I forced myself to pull away.

However, Gabriella wasn't fooled. "I'm fine, Kai. If you aren't fully healed, then keep drinking."

I shook my head, unable to meet her gaze as I focused on the bite. Thankfully, it didn't look as bad as I was expecting, the two semi-circle gashes continuing to bleed slowly. "I'm healed enough for now," I said quietly, bending down a little to lick the blood off. "I'll find another source. I'm not taking any more from you."

She didn't respond right away, likely hearing the resolve in my tone. "Okay," she finally whispered.

"I'm sorry," I replied.

She shook her head. "I love you," she said simply in return.

I then sighed, trying to focus my thoughts, since this was far from over. Not only did I have to find another source of blood, but we still had to get the hell out of here, not to mention I probably needed to come back later tonight and destroy the evidence.

"We need to get everyone back to the house," I said out loud. "And I can come here later to clean this mess up," I added, echoing my thoughts. "But first, I want to make sure everyone is safe."

Gabriella nodded in agreement, prompting me to reach up and begin tearing off the sleeve to her shirt, carefully wrapping it over her forearm to help stop the bleeding. Once she was set, pressing her palm firmly against the covered wound, I got up and went over to Serenity.

Gabriella had managed to get Serenity's bra on, though it was still unhooked in the back, with her shirt instead covering her waist since Gabriella seemed to struggle with the underwear and pants. Given that my older friend was dead weight, I wasn't too surprised, with my fiancé having managed to get the underwear up to Serenity's lower butt, before she couldn't get it any higher in the back, unable to lift the older girl by herself.

I wasn't able to meet Serenity's gaze as I apologized, carefully turning my best friend on her side to clasp her bra and get her underwear pulled the rest of the way up, keeping my eyes averted the whole time. I then began working on both her shirt and pants, shimmying one pant leg fully on before gently rolling her on her back again to finish it off.

It was no problem for me to easily place my hand underneath her lower back and lift her with one arm enough to pull her pants all the way up with the other.

I then grabbed her neck and shoulders, carefully sitting her up, wanting to make sure I had her head supported on my shoulder as I slowly scooted her still limp body into my arms.

"I'm sorry," I whispered again. I then spoke louder to the other two. "Ready?" I asked simply.

Gabriella stood right up, but Nick still seemed shell-shocked from everything, not budging as I approached.

"Come on, Nick," I said gently to get his attention. "Let's go."

He nodded weakly, not looking up at me as he stood on shaky legs. Gabriella stuck right by my side as we continued on down the hallway, with Nick finally passing us up to take the lead since he had the flashlight. Not that I needed the light, but he didn't know that, and I was sure Gabriella appreciated being able to see.

Once we exited the building and reached Nick's car, I carefully climbed into the backseat with Serenity in my arms, Gabriella closing the door for me and then walking around to join me on the other side. Scooting my rear to the edge of the seat, I rested my knees on the passenger's seat while readjusting Serenity in my lap to make sure she was comfortable.

I then focused on Nick as he climbed in too, still looking shaky. "Are you going to be able to drive?" I asked seriously.

He nodded in response, though he kept his eyes forward. "Yeah, man. It's just..." His voice trailed off, only for him to take a deep breath. "That guy in there..." He paused, glancing back at me. "That was my deadbeat biological father..."

My eyes widened in surprise, seeing Gabriella look at me in alarm. Of course, I recalled the guy saying that the woman he had killed was his ex-wife, or something like that, but didn't really put a ton of thought into it at the time. After all, I had other things going on.

Like killing him, for one, before he tortured the most important person in my life.

Although, now that I was thinking about it, I started wondering if Nick's mom remarrying was part of the bastard's motive, especially since Nick's younger sister would be his half-sister, conceived by his step-dad, who actually sounded like he cared about them.

When I didn't respond, Nick continued, returning his gaze ahead as he started the car.

"I knew he was a horrible person, but I had no idea..." He paused again, taking a deep breath, his hands on the steering wheel. "This whole time. All of it was his fault. He's responsible for my mom's death, and he's the one who almost got my little sister killed too." He then shifted it in gear, and focused on the rearview mirror to back up, though there wasn't anything behind us to hit. "He was a horrible person, but he was also smart. Supposedly, that's where I get my thing for puzzles from." He shook his head. "And if he's been somehow stalking me, then it's possible I accidentally led him straight to you..." He grimaced, glancing back at me as he started driving toward the road. "Sorry, man. I'm really sorry if that's true."

I shook my head, gesturing with my chin for him to watch where he was going. "It doesn't matter now. It's over. Let's just get back to my place."

Nick nodded, focused on the road now as he pulled onto it.

We were all silent on the way home, with Serenity closing her eyes, causing me to wonder if she'd fallen asleep. At the very least, her heartbeat and breathing were steady, so I knew she was alright. For a few minutes, I just stared out the window up at the stars, but then noticed from the corner of my eye that Gabriella was watching me intently.

Focusing on her, I was surprised that her expression was endearing.

I gave her a small smile in return, prompting her to lean into me, Serenity's legs partially draped over her lap. We then continued to ride in silence, the whole experience almost beginning to feel surreal, like it was all just one horrible nightmare.

Unfortunately, I had the scent of Gabriella's wound on her arm, coupled with the chemical stench still lingering on my best friend, to remind me that it wasn't just a bad dream.

Once we finally got home, Gabriella was exceptionally sluggish getting out of the car, as if she'd almost fallen asleep herself. And she continued to walk with an unsteady gait, to the point that I had Gabriella walk up the stairs in front of me, Serenity still in my arms, concerned she'd fall if I wasn't right there behind her.

Nick waited downstairs while I got Serenity in her bed, Gabriella likewise deciding to just crawl into bed with her too, promising to keep an eye on my best friend even though she seemed so tired that her emerald eyes looked like they were about to cross.

I nodded in agreement, giving her a kiss on the forehead once Serenity was situated, even though I suspected she would be out soon too. Deciding to lock the door to Serenity's room, being extra paranoid at this point, I closed it behind me and then headed downstairs.

This whole time, I hadn't even bother trying to transition back to my human form, so Nick nearly jumped out of his skin when I walked into the kitchen, white hair, gold eyes, and gray skin. He was sitting on one of the kitchen chairs, next to the broken table, immediately apologizing unnecessarily for his reaction, only to indicate that he would keep watch, since I'd already disclosed that I was planning on going back to clean up.

I nodded in agreement, prompting him to speak up again.

"And hey, after you get back..." He paused. "Mind if I crash on the couch? Not sure I'll be awake enough to drive home at that point."

I nodded again. "Yeah, that's fine," I agreed, not at all having a problem with it. My tone then became a little more firm, a 'not so subtle' warning in it. "Just keep them safe while I'm gone."

Nick nodded adamantly. "Of course. And hey, I'm sorry about the whole microphone thing. I just wanted to know for sure that you were the guy. I'll be dropping the case now, so you won't have to worry about anyone digging into it again anytime soon."

"Right," I replied. "Thanks."

I then took a deep breath, before turning around to leave, seeing no point in delaying what needed to be done. Locking the door behind me, I took to the air to first find myself some blood, and then to go hide my second dead body for the day.
