Chapter 10

After Josh was brought to his house, Xin asked Amara to call Veronica and inform her about the things that have happened to them. She also told Amara to ask Veronica to just head home. Veronica panicked after hearing about what happened to them and drove straight to their apartment with Heidi.

Xin let Cherry sleep on the couch for a while. She also checked if those guys were able to do something else to Cherry.

"Nothing was forced inside her body. She's only got small bruises on her arms." Xin said to Amara.

Amara sighed in relief. Thank goodness that they arrived on time.

"Xin!" Veronica shouted when she got inside their apartment.

"Over here, Vicky!" Xin answered

Veronica and Heidi approached them. "Oh my God! Is she okay?" Heidi asked while touching Cherry's face.

"She's fine. She just passed out because she had way too much alcohol."

Veronica grabbed Xin's arm and saw blood on her knuckles. "You have wounds."

"This is nothing. I can take care of it later. I'll move Cherry to the guest room. Amara, please come with me and help her get changed." Xin carried Cherry and walked towards the guest room.

"I'll bring her some change of clothes." Veronica went to her room and picked some clean clothes from her closet while Heidi followed Amara and Xin to the guest room.

After cleaning Cherry's body, they changed her clothes.

The four women sat in the living room. "I called some of our men so that they can apprehend those guys and make them pay in prison." Xin said as she removed her jacket. Xin then took the medicine kit.

Veronica grabbed the medicine kit from Xin. "I'll do it."

Xin let her sister clean her wounds.

"No more parties. This is what I was talking about." Xin started to talk.

"Don't worry. I don't attend parties like those." Heidi answered.

Xin looked at Amara whose head was down. Amara was looking at the wooden floor.

"I won't." Amara said

Xin sighed. "I hope so...don't let your hormones get to your brain. If you want to drink, just ask me and you're all welcome to do that here. Your safety is not guaranteed when you drink outside. I know you are all at the right age, but some things are just out of our control..like this..."

Veronica chuckled. "Now you see who acts like the older sister here."

Heidi and Amara giggled.

"I'm serious." Xin rolled her eyes.

"We know...and thank you for saving us back there. We don't know what could have happened if you weren't there. Maybe we could have been raped...or killed." Amara said.

"What did you do to those guys?" Heidi asked.

Xin didn't answer. As usual, her body moved on its own. All she thought about that time was protecting Amara and Cherry. Well, she didn't give a damn about their friend, Josh.

Amara answered Heidi's question. Heidi couldn't believe what she was hearing. Veronica expected as much though. She knows how Xin acts when she's furious.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take a bath. I want to remove the scent of those filthy guys and that disgusting party from me." Xin bid them goodnight and went to her room.

"Is she always like this?" Heidi asked Veronica while holding her hand.

"Yeah. You're lucky if you're able to free yourself from her grip. You can see that her muscles are more toned than mine." Veronica said.

"It was all too fast for me. No human can move that fast." Amara said.

Veronica didn't say anything and was lost in her thoughts. Her sister's behaviour is not new to her. It's a common thing for them. It was for her sister's safety, and she's thankful for that. Nothing will change. Xin will forever be her little sister.

I'll stay here for tonight. I want to make sure that Cherry is fine when she wakes up tomorrow." Amara informed them.

"Aight. I'll be more than glad that you'll be staying here for tonight. You can sleep with Cherry, Amara. Or would you prefer to sleep in the other guest room?"

"I'll sleep with Cherry. I'll prepare some hangover medicine that she can take when she wakes up."

They all just laughed and then headed to their rooms.

Xin was in her room. She was looking at her knuckles. Her wounds were already closed and were healing really fast. She couldn't believe it. She doesn't even feel pain.

"I'm the one who caused that. I lost control when I saw those insolent men trying to hurt our food." Seraph explained.

"They are not food, Seraph. They are my sister's friends."

"Still our food."

Xin rolled her eyes and lay on her bed with her eyes closed.

"Don't let any man touch them again, Xin. They are ours now."

"Since when, Seraph? I don't recall having sex with any of them." Xin said. It was sarcasm, of course.

"Since the day you kissed them. A kiss is a seal from a demon."

"What?!" Her eyes became wide as she was trying to recall when did she ever kiss them. Oh, shit! She was finally able to remember those. It was in the restaurant. She even kissed Heidi. "The fuck? I didn't even kiss them on their lips, you pervert demon!"

"I'll rip that mouth of yours, Xin! Choose your words better, fool! As long as it is called a kiss, it is already a done deal. You already marked them as yours."

She couldn't believe it.Those were just greetings for her. A sign of being a gentlewoman.

"Why didn't you tell me first, you perverted demon!"

"Be thankful that you did it. No other supernaturals will try to get near them because you already marked them as yours. They are safe from them."

"Well, they are not safe from humans." Xin groaned. She put her pillow on her face and screamed, so no one would be able to hear her.

"True, but you are there for them. You wouldn't let anything bad happen to them, right?"

"Yes." Xin gave up on arguing with Seraph. She closed her eyes again. "Will you please inform me about important matters next time? I'm still new to this. You, being half of me, me being a half demon. It still hasn't sinked in my brain."

"Fine, I'll tell you about the things I know. Sleep and rest for now."

Xin nodded and went to sleep.
