Pet:Genesis - Chapter 34 (Patreon)

Iris 

I silently follow Remus through the unfamiliar halls making our way outside. There’s a chill in the air from the oncoming rain causing me to shiver. Remus immediately notices letting go of my hand just as he pulls his cape from around his shoulders, wrapping it around mine. He doesn’t speak as he clasps the front. The warmth immediately envelopes me and I note that the bottom drags the dirt due to our difference in height but Remus doesn’t seem to mind. 

He continues to walk in front of me and I take the time to look at my surroundings. We’re surrounded by mountainsides, his home sitting on the edge of the cliff-side. It’s very secluded. No one can get here unless they have a ship or is an expert hiker.

We finally reach the top of the hill and a little in the distance I can see a ship. It’s bigger than the one Remus uses for transport, the wings of the ship made from a transparent film.

“What is this?” I ask. When I look at Remus, he’s looking at the ship with a blank expression.

“It’s a ship built for space. It’s large enough to transport cargo.”

“… Why are you showing me this?” I ask. My voice is trembling as my brain takes me to a place I don’t want to be.

“I’ve realized that your remaining here can be a hindrance. Not only to me but to yourself. I’ve decided to send you ahead of me to my home planet…”

Remus continues speaking next to me but I can’t hear him. Suddenly the sound of blood rushing through my ears is louder than his voice. My chest constricts and my skin prickles as my worst fear is imagined. I take a step back, my eyes trained on the ship.

“No,” I say.

Silence permeates the air, the sound of thunder growing louder as the clouds thicken.

“No?”

“You’re not taking me from my home,” I say. My voice is stronger than its been in a while as the will he’s come to admire so much rears its head. Remus laughs next to me.

“Your home? Iris you can’t be serious. You have no home anymore. Your place is by my side, I thought we-”

“You’ve taken everything from me! You took my family, my childhood, my innocence, my life! Is that not enough for you? You want to pull me away from my planet and deepen my suffering?” I ask looking at him. A hint of anger touches his features as he studies me.

“Iris you’ve been offered a new path in life, how is that suffering?”

“I never asked for your mercy,” I growl.

“But I gave it to you.” Remus angles his head studying me as if he’s genuinely trying to figure me out. He doesn’t understand. He’s too powerful to understand what heavy meaning Earth has to me. He could never understand my feelings or my life.

“You’re not taking me away from here.”

Remus’s eyes narrow as he studies me and he steps closer to me, just as the rain begins to fall. He towers over me glaring at my form. The blue in his eyes burn brighter than the purple, the black of his pupil dilating slightly.

“I think you’re confused, Iris. You don’t have a choice in the matter.”

I eye him, tears forming in my eyes as he studies me. The rain falls around us, and it takes me a moment to notice that none of it touches us. Even in this small moment, he displays the sheer power he holds over me. He’s right, I don’t have a choice. And I never will by his side.

As the rain thickens, Remus steps back.

“Come. Let’s get you inside.”

He silently walks next to me, his hand on the small of my back as he leads me towards the house. My head is spinning as my thoughts come together. Our conversations, Remus himself as a being and his interaction with the world around him. He’s powerful. He’s too powerful. He will never see our planet as anything other than a means to an end. And whatever purpose he has for humans, is worse than anything he’s done up to this point. Remus is a threat by existing, and he will never abide by our morals or rules. He doesn’t have to. And that includes his dealing with me.

Not once since my capture has the thought of suicide crossed my brain. Not once. It’s as Remus said, I want to live and experience. But the idea of that has officially dissipated altogether. And I would rather die than be stuck by his side. My desire to fight may have left, but my desire to spite Remus has not.

We come closer to the edge of the house, and I take note that the cliffside is only feet away from it. My heart dips into overdrive and I can only hope that Remus will mistake it for my anger of not wanting to leave. My footsteps falter and Remus doesn’t seem bothered by it as he keeps walking towards the entrance. I silently move towards the edge of the cliff, and Remus has yet to notice me.

It’s only feet away.

Remus has his back to me as he presses his palm against the wall, and I use the opportunity. I take off towards the edge of the cliff ignoring the sound of my name. I keep my hand on the clasp that holds his cape around my shoulders, forcing my brain to remain calm in my situation. I must time it perfectly.

I reach the edge of the cliff, not hesitating when I feel a hard pull on the lengthy fabric. Just as I feel the tension, I release the clasp, the fabric falling from my shoulders. The feel of water and rain falling on me awakens my senses just as the bottom of the cliffside comes into view. It’s a steep drop.

“Iris!”

I enjoy the panic I hear in Remus’s voice. My timing is perfect, and my stomach begins to drop as gravity takes hold of me and I begin to fall. I close my eyes letting myself finally enjoy the freedom I’ve been craving. I know death will be waiting for me at the bottom. He doesn’t win. Not me.

My freedom is short-lived as the world around me is flipped sharply. I feel the rough grip of a hand around my ankle and I’m pulled out of the air, my body colliding with the ground. I cry out in pain, the heavy weight of the rain doing nothing for the rough earth beneath me.

I groan, sitting up to see Remus standing over me. He’s holding the fabric of his cape in his hands, eyeing it before dropping his head in his hands as a laugh escapes him. It starts as a small chuckle before morphing into a laugh.

It’s chilling.

Even now, the rain has picked up, but still not a drop touches him or his skin. I take note that the blacks of his pupil dilate quickly as he fights for control. My attempt to move away from him is thwarted by the lack of oxygen in my lungs from the impact.

“You ungrateful..,” Remus trails off standing over me. He places his hand over his face as if he has a sudden headache and a monstrous growl rips from his throat. He bares his teeth at me like a wild animal and my eyes immediately fall on those terrifyingly sharp canines.

I ignore the pain, shifting myself across the grass trying to move away. I look towards the edge of the cliff, crawling in an effort to get away but Remus is on me, his hand grasping my ankle as he drags me away from the edge of the cliff. My eyes widen in shock when a wall of earth suddenly builds from the ground, blocking my attempt at jumping.

My nails dig into the earth as I’m dragged away from the ledge. Remus whips me around to face him, and I cry out in frustration. I let my fear fuel my rage.

“Kill me! Just kill me! I would rather die than be trapped by your side!” I screech. I open my eyes when I feel nothing, and I’m met with Remus’s chilling expression. His eyes are completely dilated, but he seems to be focused on me in a way I’ve never seen before.

He leans into me, his nose trailing over my throat causing my body to shiver from the immediate fear of his close proximity. Whatever his shift is, my body understands it as an instinctual threat. Remus’s hand grips my face, holding my gaze as his free hand travels to the dress I’m wearing, pulling the material in one swift movement, leaving me exposed to his gaze.

I’m paralyzed as terror wracks me. I’ve never seen Remus like this. He’s terrifyingly calm, yet not in control of himself. And I don’t know how to cope with it.

“… Remus, please.” My voice is trembling as he continues to study me. Remus pulls my bra off of me, his hand finally leaving my face as his lips come into contact with my skin. He trails hot kisses down my throat, pulling my flesh between his teeth, suckling hard. I cry out, my body reacting exactly as he wants it to.

I open my mouth to plead, caught off guard when he captures my nipple between his lips, his tongue swirling over the sensitive bud. I arch my back as pleasure begins to pool within me, my hands pressing against him.

I thread my fingers through his hair trying to pull him away from me but it’s no use. A groan escapes my lips when his free hand travels between my legs. He gently strokes between my legs waiting until I am wet enough for him to enter me with his fingers. I cry out, as he finds a steady rhythm stroking me to pleasure that only he can provide. He continues to stimulate me, and it shocks me how gentle he’s being in his current state. He moves his lips back to my throat where he seems to be favoring as he sucks at the skin, pulling it between his teeth as his tongue lightly strokes the tender spot.

I feel him shifting only slightly before his fingers are replaced with a much bigger member. My eyes open just as he thrusts, entering me swiftly. I cry out as he shoves my legs apart, his thrusts becoming more violent, each time jarring so that the ground digs deeper into my back with each thrust. Pain and pleasure mingle to create an almost euphoric feeling. I cry out, when suddenly I feel water on my face. I open my eyes, realizing Remus has let the water fall around us, just as his fingers thread through my hair, pulling my throat to the side.

An ominous growl that is far from human rips through the air and I can’t begin to decipher what’s happening.

“Rem-AH!” I feel a sharp stab on my throat and I realize he’s biting me. Pleasure disappears as pain ripples through ever vein in my body. I cry out, pulling at his hair as I screech in pain, my eyes focusing on the rain clouds above us. His jaw locks on my throat, deepening his attack.

I don’t think the pain is going to lessen when finally I feel him let go of my throat, my consciousness waning. My breathing is shallow and I suddenly feel weak. Extremely weak.

Remus uses the moment to press his lips over mine, but instead of kissing me like I expect, I feel something foreign enter me. The frigid chill that weakened me is replaced by an incredible warmth. The warmth is extreme, bringing me back from the brink of unconsciousness. It fills every corner of my body all the way to my fingertips, inviting me in. I vaguely register that it’s Remus who is giving me this warmth. And it finally brings back the feeling of pleasure, rocketing me over the edge.

I cry out as my body spasms on his thrusting shaft, the world around me spinning. It becomes too much, too bright, and I can’t handle it. I feel my nails clawing at Remus’s flesh, but he doesn’t seem to notice as he continues to press his lips against mine. My body feels like it’s going to implode from pain or pleasure, I don’t know.

Finally, the world around disappears along with my pain.
