He held his phone to his ear as he watched my apartment building and then sighed as he lowered it into his lap and pressed the button to shut it off. He sat there for a few minutes as he looked up the side of the building. He knew my address and the thought of just coming up to check on me was tugging at him. He fought off the urge and started to turn the key in his ignition, but then saw me stepping out of the front of my building and heading towards the underground car park. He narrowed his eyes and waited until I pulled out onto the street and he decided to follow me.
Chapter Ten
The Long Ride
I stared at the building, knowing that all I needed to do was go in to end this once and for all. I flipped the card in my hand and then tapped it on the steering wheel. The number seven standing out stark white against the black matte of the rest of the card. I looked up and the streetlights seemed too bright. Suddenly looking like sunbursts. I reached over and opened my glove box. I fumbled around inside of it until I felt what I was looking for and pulled my large black sunglasses out and placed them on. It was so much easier to see now, it curbed the splintering light that was bothering my eyes. I got out and walked to the front of the building. It looked to be just as any other New York apartment high rise would be, only this one was older than the one I lived in. More vintage, more classic New York style. The reddish tint of the bricks staring down on me.
I stood there for awhile, tugging on the door a couple of times and knowing that without being buzzed in I would never find resolution. I pulled the card out of my jacket pocket and stared at it, flipping it over a few times and then I looked at the buzzers on the wall. I grinned as I saw they were numbered one through twelve. I bit my lip and then placed my finger on number seven and looked up at the security camera above me. I buzzed it and the little red light on the camera flashed. I waited and then, just as I decided to walk away the door buzzed and I ran back to it and pulled it open. I stepped into a large entryway with two men standing at an elevator. They were both in suits, black…white button downs, black ties. They both wore sunglasses, just as I did. I touched the side of my neck and glanced behind me. This was it, I could either walk to the elevator, or I could turn and go back to my regular life as a lawyer. My life that I was so ready shed after Griffin had left me. I swallowed hard and took one step, only to stop when I heard knocking behind me. I turned to see Detective Liam standing there. He was staring at me as if he needed to talk to me. I glanced back at the two men who started to walk towards me and I held my hand up as I saw one reaching for his gun inside of his jacket.
“He is with me, okay?” I said as they both stopped and I held my card up for the two of them to see.
“We are a…couple. We like to do this together.” I added and they both glanced at each other and then they nodded to me and I opened the door and stared at him.
I narrowed my eyes and started to whisper to him, “What the hell are you doing here?”
He grinned and looked past me to the two men.
“Just checking up on you.”
“You need to go home, now.”
He shook his head and stepped in, pushing past me and looking at the two men.
“She gets bitchy.”
One of them smiled and I stepped up next to him.
“Fine…come on.”
I walked towards the large elevator and then waited as one of the men pushed the button. The bar at the top started to move and I stared up at it, as did the Detective. The doors dinged and they opened up, completely made out of thick glass. I looked down as I stepped in and could see under the elevator, I looked up and could see all the way to the top and it looked as if lights were shining all the way up. The Detective followed me in and as I turned to him the doors closed behind him and we were now committed to going all the way with this. I looked into his eyes.
“So, you followed me?”
He grinned as the elevator started to rise, slower than most do.
“I am a Detective.”
“I don’t know if I should be impressed or a little bit creeped out.”
He leaned towards me just as the elevator stopped and he looked past me, his expression going from one of mischief to disbelief. I turned back as I saw two men, one behind a naked woman hanging in a swing. He was thrusting forward so hard her hair was swinging. Then another man stepped up and grabbed her head, he shoved his cock deep into her throat and the two men bounced her back and forth as one buried his cock deep into her pussy and the other rammed his cock to the back of her throat. She held onto the leather straps to the sides of her and closed her eyes, happy to be taking it. I stepped up just as the one fucking her pussy looked at me through his black mask. The one fucking her mouth turned his head and looked at me, too. I touched the glass just as the elevator started to rise again and the room disappeared from our view. I sighed as I turned to Liam and he stared blankly at the glass.
“Okay.”
“I think this is a sex building, like voyeur stuff.”
“I would have to say…” the elevator slowed and I looked behind him into another room. He turned as I walked towards the glass and watched as a woman stood there with a whip in her hand. A man sat on his knees before her, as well as another woman. They both were naked except for the masks that they wore. The woman glanced at both of us and then cracked the whip as the man got on all fours and the woman next to him rose up and turned with a large black cock strap-on. She stood there and took her hand, twisting it along the shaft and licking her lip. She lowered to her knees and placed the tip of it to the man’s ass as the woman with a whip placed a metal bridle into his mouth. He gripped it with his teeth as she handed the straps to the woman now poised behind him. She grinned as she wrapped the leather on each wrist and jerked them back as she thrust the length of the black strap-on cock-deep into his ass. He cried out as she started to fuck him, thrust after thrust as she jerked back on his reins. He arched his back and accepted all that she had to give to him. The pain mixed with pleasure hardening his cock and bringing him closer and closer to orgasm. The woman with the whip lowered and reached under him, stroking his cock as the woman behind him continued to fuck him. The elevator started to rise again and I could feel myself getting wet. I stepped back and Liam stood there, a bit stunned.
“She was...”
“Yep.”
“Wow.”
I turned to him, “There are a lot of fetishes in this world.”
“I know, I just never watched before.”
I grinned as the elevator continued to rise.
“Do you like it?” I asked him and he paused as he looked me over.
“Yes, I do.”
I stepped up closer to him as I could suddenly feel my hunger rising. It was different than what I had felt for Keegan for just as much of a need to make it happen. He backed up as the elevator started to slow and we were now on level seven. It stopped, as everything remained black around us. I leaned up and touched his face, my lips touching his. The kiss was passionate as his tongue slipped into my mouth. I reached down and grabbed his cock, already hard in his pants. I grinned at his lips as he did too.
“Are you sure, Lia?” he whispered to me as I nodded and he picked me up, turning me and pressing me against the glass. I moaned at his lips as his cock pressed hard against me. He was large and I could already anticipate taking the length of him into me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he reached down between us and slipped his hand into the front of my pants. I cried out as he took three fingers and started to thrust them upward, his thumb sure to find its way to my clit as he did.
“Baby…I need to fuck you, now,” he said as I nodded. He lowered us to the floor and tore my pants off of me as he pulled me across the glass floor. He tossed them aside as he undid his own pants and didn’t even bother to take them off. He held his long, hard cock in his hand as he looked down at my pussy. He shoved himself into me without care and I welcomed it. I dug my nails into his back as he fucked me as hard as he could on
the floor of that elevator and just as my orgasm started to rise in me, the lights came on and I arched my back to see Keegan standing in a room watching us. I cried out as Liam flipped me over and jerked my ass upwards. He rubbed the head of his cock as Keegan stepped forward and opened the doors to the elevator. He knelt down in front of me in all of his naked glory and stroked his cock as Liam knelt behind me.
“Tell me.” Keegan said in a half-whisper. I looked up at him and nodded to him. “Say it.”
“I want this.”
He grinned as he placed his hand to the bottom of my chin and shoved his cock to the back of my throat just as Liam buried his deep inside of my ass. My moaning vibrated through my entire body as Keegan thrust over and over again and so did Liam. Liam sped up, telling me his orgasm was coming and just as he was about to come, I heard a scream and he was pulled away from me. Keegan pulled his cock from my lips and pulled me up onto my knees before him, he turned me and reached down, spreading my legs as I stay on my knees. He thrust his cock up into my pussy as his right hand played with my clit. His other arm was firmly wrapped around my midsection to steady me as he thrust harder and harder. My eyes glossed over, but as I stared out in front of us I saw Liam, on his back. Keegan’s Mother straddling him. He was kicking frantically, but soon, his legs slowed and she sat up, her head falling back as she then turned to look at us. Her mouth was covered in blood and Liam lay under her, his throat torn and bleeding out. I opened my mouth to scream, but just as I did, Keegan bit into my neck and the combination of that and his fucking me made me come so hard I stopped breathing and thought that I may die.
“I can’t let anyone else have you, I am sorry,” he whispered into my ear. My eyes rolled and my body tensed up as he brought me not one, but two orgasms back to back. I wanted to feel something for the Detective, but I could not. Something was awakened in me as Keegan had bitten into me, his gift, or so she said, was changing me, everything about me. This time, it set my blood on fire and it raced through my body.
I fell forward onto the glass as she came walking towards us. I twisted on my side as the pain started to rise in me and my skin broke out into a sweat. I cried out as every muscle in me felt as if it were being torn apart. Then I rolled up into a ball on my side as Keegan rose up and stared at her.
“I want her.”
She walked to him and placed a hand to his face. “I know you do Keegan.”
“If I cannot have her, I will not stay here, I know you created me and to me you, are the Mother of all creation, but I love her.”
She nodded to him. “Take her to your bed. There she will change and become what you wish her to be.”
Keegan nodded to her as he leaned down and scooped me up into his arms. I looked up and tried to focus on him, but all I could see was red and all I could hear was beating hearts. All of the human hearts in the world.
I woke in a strange bed, strange place. The smell, though, was oh so familiar. That of sandalwood and vanilla. I knew where I was. I was with Keegan and I could not regret it. I blinked a few times as I rolled onto my back and then pushed myself up. My head felt light, but not as strange as my chest did. I placed my hand to it and nothing. There was no rhythm and for a moment, it panicked me. I thought perhaps I was dead and this may be whatever was waiting for us on the other side…
I instinctively drank from my Frap as I stared at the screen. I winced as the drink still tasted horrible in my mouth. I coughed and covered my mouth only to feel something wet on my hand. I looked down and saw blood. I was immediately in a panic, thinking that I was suffering from pneumonia, but how did it set on so quickly? I pulled my hands underneath the table as the girl in the café approached me. She looked at my drink, which I had been nursing for two hours.
“Are you okay?” she asked me as I nodded to her and grabbed a napkin from the dispenser on the table. I pulled it underneath and wiped my hand off with it, I took a breath and my chest did not hurt at all, so it did not help me understand what could be going on. I had been sitting in the café for hours and not even noticed. Typing away and allowing Lia to find him…to find her Keegan.
“Have you heard of any new things floating around campus?” I asked her.
“Like what?”
I looked up at her, “Like a new flu.”
She sat down across from me and looked me over.
“You must live in that laptop.”
I looked down at the flashing screen, wanting to get Lia up and out of bed to meet her lover, but my need to know what was going on in the real world outweighed it. She leaned up and talked in a low tone.
“I heard some people have died.”
“What?”
“Yeah, like some virus thing.”
I shook my head and closed my laptop. “You are shitting me.”
She laughed and stood up, spinning on one foot.
“No, watch the news, pay attention to world around you,” she said as she turned and I saw something on her that I did not expect to see. Two small puncture wounds on the side of her neck, not unlike my own. I stood up slowly and then grabbed my laptop. I flung the strap over my head and let it rest on my side. I started to walk towards the door and then she stepped in front of me. I raised an eyebrow and she tilted her head.
“You know what? You have been coming in here for three fucking years and you have never even asked me what my name is.”
“What?” I said as I stepped to one side and so did she.
“Rose.”
I narrowed my eyes and gripped my laptop.
“It is Rose, Fay.”
I nodded to her. “Okay…Rose. I am sorry. I come here for coffee, like a ton of other people do.”
She pulled a knife out from behind her back and waved it in front of her. I stepped back as she took one step towards me. “You are just one of those uppity bitches, on a full scholarship, free ride… and you don’t think I matter much do you?”
I shook my head ‘no’ and then started to try to talk some sense into her.
“I appreciate the coffee, I swear I never gave much thought to what you do. I am busy, just like you are and I figured you went to school here.”
“Nope. I just work here, because I have too. “
I looked behind me to see if I had a straight shot at the emergency exit. I turned back and she was in my face with the knife in her hand. My eyes widened, but my heartbeat did not speed up, strange enough.
“Listen, what bit you?” I asked as I slowly backed away from her. She stopped and touched her neck, almost as if she was remembering a fond childhood memory.
Her expression was one of sudden confusion, “Bite?”
“Yes.” I pointed to my neck as she lowered her hand and then raised the knife. She stared at it and then at me.
“She is really cute, isn’t she?…I hear you, I do,” she looked around as if she was searching for someone. “You don’t know what true freedom is do you Fay? You have to allow yourself to evolve.”
I stared at her as I tried to regain my composure. “What did you say, Rose?”
“Evolution, change…becoming more, so much more than this shit.” She tilted her head as her skin started to shimmer in sweat and scanned the room. “I hear you! I do Mother!”
“Who are you talking to you?” I yelled at her. She snapped her head and stared me down like an enemy.
“The Mother of all things…the one who will give me immortality.”
She cried out as she took the knife and started to cut lines into her arm, one after the other, deep enough to kill but she didn’t even scream. I stepped towards her as she lifted the knife to her tongue and licked it. Then her facial expression changed from joy to sadness. She shook her head and started to sob. I started to walk towards her but she suddenly stopped and tilted her head.
“I am nothing,” she whispered. She raised the knife and then plunged it into her chest. She cried out as she fell to the floor and I turned and ran for the exit. I hit the bar over and over again, but it wo
uld not open. I stopped when I heard a voice behind me. I turned to see Calista standing there. I swallowed hard, followed by a cough. I held my hand over my mouth and more blood came out. I lowered it and she smiled at me. She crossed her arms on her chest and tapped her fingers against her arm.
“Well now, kind of at a crossroads aren’t we, Fay?” she asked, as I stood my ground and looked for another exit to just get out of the café.
“Listen, I don’t know what the fuck you are, but I just want to leave.”
She laughed, I almost expected her too. I looked up at the television screen and saw reporters at the hospital as they rolled people in. Some were coughing, some were drenched in sweat. Rose was right, there was something happening to the world and I had missed it as I fell deeper into my book and into Keegan.
“Oh, I think you do know, Fay. I think you have known all along, you and that big brain of yours.”
I clutched the laptop to my chest. “And that…that little story you have going there, you need to just give that to me.”
“What?”
“That story you have been writing, with me in it. It seems you have a bit an ability. Visions…you had visions about me, I mean where the fuck do you think that story came from? Your dull imagination and dried up vagina?”
She stepped towards me, but stopped as we both heard a familiar voice.
“Calista, stop.” Keegan said as he stood in the entryway of the café. She turned and smiled at him.
“Oh, there he is, my knight in shining armor.”
“Just leave, that is all that you have to do.”
She turned and stared me down. “Don’t tell me that you love it.” She turned her back to stare at him. “It will die, they all die…except for you.”
“She is not an 'it', none of them are.” He glanced down at the girl on the floor and his expression was one of sadness.
“I’m sorry…what the fuck is going on here?” I asked, as I could not help myself.
“Oh…for fuck's sake. Tell her Keegan.”
Keegan looked at me, his eyes darker and his expression grim. It was not like him at all to be this way.
