34 The Assassin

Cedric catches Yuki before she falls on top of him and then lays her down on the bed. He sits beside her and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "I remember the first time that they took my blood. It was after our first meeting and now you will remember these memories as well." He looked down at her and smiled. He sat there waiting for Yuki to awaken once more.

Yuki finished watching the memory and then opened her eyes and looked at him sitting there looking down at her. "Master Cedric, why did you agree with what my parents wanted if you were against it?"

"In the beginning, I was attracted to your beauty, you were so pure and I did not want to taint your purity but your parents were rather pushy so I had no say in saying no. They weren't going to take no for an answer so I gave in under the stipulation that if it was what you wanted. That way they could not argue and if it was what you wanted I would do it just for you."

"I understand and seeing this memory it looks like because I drank your blood you had to eat the chocolates at that time but I didn't know anything about the chocolates at the time?" Yuki looks at him curiously.

"At that time in the past you drank a lot of my blood and my demon was trying to go out of control and I didn't want to worry you or your parents. So when I left I went straight home and ate the chocolates. I called someone over and satisfied my lust. I killed my partner that was with me that night but at least I satisfied my lust and was able to get my mind back in line. In our past. I never told you about the chocolates. Luna messaged me a few times and I didn't pick up and as soon as I was satisfied I listened to her messages. She only left me a dozen voice mails. Each one was increasing more desperate. Once night dusk hit I called her back and she demanded that I come to your place in six days so I agreed and that is what lead up to our meeting in that memory." Cedric leaned over and then there was a knock at the door.

Yuki looked up at door. "I understand now that you ate those chocolates but at the time I didn't know what you went through. Sorry, Master." She reached her hand up and touched his cheek.

Claude opened the door and saw the two and the empty vail. "So the first memory is now unlocked that is good. I got some information for you when you are ready to hear it."

Cedric looked over at Claude, "what did you find out for your captives? Speak freely there is nothing that needs to be hidden from my little slave."

"Your family was stalking that house and since you were the one to go to the house, they do not know it was you and I killed all the witnesses except for the now double agent. I was thinking that if you wanted you could place a spell on her so that she couldn't betray us." Claude reported and watched the two.

Yuki sat up and wrapped her arms behind Cedric. "I do not like the idea of you going near this woman so let me come with you?"

Cedric listened to what Claude said, "yes, let us do that having another spy would do us well and I will cast the spell that is necessary. Yuki you can come with us and see the spell I will cast. I doubt that she will be attracted to me. Claude, it is strange for there to be a female assassin so this will be a fun game we will play."

"Yes, Sir." Claude bowed and turned and started to lead the way.

"Why do you think that she won't be attracted to you?" Yuki looks at both of them in confusion.

Cedric quickly turned around, picked Yuki up and started to walk towards the dungeon. "The scent of blood may be strong so if the urge to drink my blood hits, just drink it and don't hold back my little slave. We will go to the dungeon and you will see why I have said what I have."

Claude listened to Cedic and kept walking. 'Looks like I will need to play lover for the assassin to keep her on our side but she was delectable.' He smirks and opens the door to her cell and the girl looked up and the hearts in eyes were staring at Claude. "Do you remember what I said? If you want your desires you need to do something for my boss."

"Of course I would do anything for you! Will your boss see me?" The assassin kept her eyes on Claude.

Cedric carried Yuki into the cell room and Yuki was hit with the scent of blood from every direction. 'I will refrain for the first little bit, I don't know why the scent is so intoxicating, I have drunk so much already.' She looked at the girl on the chair and saw that she had her eyes glued to Claude.

"I will see you on the condition that you switch sides. If you switch sides you will be able to see Claude more often." Cedric spoke up and glanced at the girl and then looked at Yuki and saw that she was fighting her urges.

The assassin quickly glanced up at Cedric, "I will switch sides it is not like Claudia is my only contractor. My name is Sephira, Master Cedric. I am a trained assassin that lurks in the darkness and I am a necromancer. I will swear my loyalty to your side." Sephira got up and bowed to Cedric.

Claude watched Sephira and smirked while she was bowed. "Then there is a spell that needs to be casted on you and you must be willing to bear my seal."

Cedric raised one of his eyebrows. 'How peculiar that Claude would go to this length. Maybe finding out she is a necromancer has made his want to possess her more?' Cedric reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife and then he sat down on the ground and cut his arm. "You silly fool drink before you lose your mind." He wrapped his arm around and brought the cut to her mouth.

Yuki was hit with his fresh blood and could no longer resist so she quickly bit on to his arm and started drinking his blood. 'He knew that I was struggling with my urges. I can not resist his blood and he knows that.'
