Incubus' Blood Harem-Chapter 26 Sleeping Cocoon
Later that night when Kayden was done with the dishes, he looked for Medusa in the whole house. Suspecting that he might have done something wrong with her, Kayden wanted to apologize but perhaps Medusa did not want to be found. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
He headed towards the roof as the last place to look for her. Medusa could already hear his footsteps and jumped off the wall to hide somewhere else. The door opened and Kayden went back inside with disappointment upon not finding her there.
'Where did she go? Its been so late now.'
Kayden headed downstairs pondering whether to sleep or wait for her. The clock was already showing midnight and Kayden was required to visit his academy again. He shook his head and decided not to sacrifice his sleep for a woman.
"Why should I wait for her? She is jus like Anna, doesn't matter if she belongs to a different race. Medusa is still a woman, and all are same."
He scoffed and walked towards his room, Mr Jones was already asleep. Kayden had nobody to talk to, although it relieved him that Malcolm was already out of the picture and now Medusa was gone too.
Kayden crept under the sheets on his bed and stared at the roof of his room. He inhaled deeply hoping his morning would be better, and everything which just happened would end like a nightmare.
"I hope tomorrow my life returns to normal as it was before both of them. Fuck! I also have to remain cautious regarding Jack's murder and my newly found powers."
He acknowledged the consequences of disclosing his powers, which would garner the attention of Pentagon, the highest yet mysterious authority of the vampire realm. As much as Kayden was excited to accept the change in his life, he did not want it to involve around Beelzebelle.
When Kayden had drifted to sleep Medusa broke into the house and slept in the lounge. She could sleep on the same bed as Kayden or on the sofa, but did not want to be seen by anyone in the house. Thus she picked the comfortable posture of sleeping like bats in the lounge.
[The next day]
Mr Jones came in the lounge while yawning to head towards the open kitchen. The old man's appearance had returned to normal and the wounds healed due to his cursed blood. He was in his own reverie when a huge cocoon dangling from the roof appeared in front of his eyes.
"Oh shit!"
He staggered and fell on his butt in fright while stared at the cocoon. It took him a few minutes to realize that Medusa was sleeping like a bat with her wings wrapped around the body to prevent mosquito attacks.
The wings spread across and Medusa flew down hearing his voice. The succubus yawned and rubbed her crimson eyes, her vision adjusted to spot Mr Jones sitting on the floor totally dumbfounded.
"Why are you sitting here like a fool?"
She tried to inquire while a green colored dust began to form around her body. Her physical features indicating her identity began to fade in the thin air. Medusa' horns and wings vanished in the air, she slept in her full form which helped in recuperation.
Although she physically healed but was still emotionally torn, and being a succubus Medusa was now at the brink of vulnerable state. The people of Beelzebelle had only one dangerous weak spot, they were easily submitted to manipulation in their emotionally down state.
Since they were trained to keep a check on their emotions, the people of Beelzebelle rarely loved someone. Afraid to be destroyed or cheated on, they became strict regarding their feelings. But perhaps Medusa took longer to keep her emotions contained, which resulted in her heartbreak and Kayden taking her advantage.
Nonetheless she had the support of Mr Jones who perhaps actually was concerned about the succubus. He knew that the blood servants were the trigger for Kayden' power awakening. That's why he favoured her because Malcolm was in turn Medusa' servant.
"If you will sleep like that anyone will get shit scared. It ghastly sight to witness right after waking up."
The old man stood up from the floor after finally grabbing his senses back. He shook his head and raked through his hair while rebuking her. Medusa on the other hand headed towards the sofa and laid down to stretch herself and straightened her back.
"Pah! it's a pity you vampires dropped your signature traits. Well, sophisticated race."
She mocked Jones and rolled her eyes over the last part, whereas Mr Jones was not even slightly bothered by her. He had gotten used to those throat slitting things, ever since he married Kayden's mother. Although nobody could ever know about her identity but being an incapable woman as a 'vampire' she was frowned upon.
"Yeah yeah, you sex freaks!"
Jones headed towards the kitchen and waved his hand carelessly in the air. He threw back the insult at her while taking out the frying pan to make breakfast. Medusa lifted her head and glared at the man, while trying to keep herself calm as not to kill Jones.
"Why were you sleeping here like that? Did something happen between you and Kayden? Didn't you vow to protect him? What happened now, huh?"
The old man pried regarding their situation because he could clearly see hesitation and anxiety over her face. He needed to know everything happening between the three of them for the sake of their safety as their elder. That's why he provoked Medusa by questioning her promise, he was aware that her kind valued their words. f𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.co𝓶
He waited for any kind of response from Medusa while beating the eggs. It was not a pleasant talk for the succubus, and definitely not the one she would like to have after what happened last night. Medusa stared at the roof quietly and pretended not to hear Jones, who grasped that something was definitely wrong between them.
