Chapter Twenty-Six


Her blood had been just as sweet as I knew it would be. I had even made the cuts on her back more carefully that I seemed to have before. Perhaps back then I had been to eager to be careful or too unpracticed with the blade.

This time I had made my name on her into a delicate display of art, gently curving lines forming each letter. It had taking quite some time for me to finish and she had fallen asleep sometime during my work, but that had made it easier to finish.

Although it also meant that she was missing out on the wonderful feelings of each cut. Perhaps she would rather be the one doing the cutting? The thought sent delightful shivers down my spine, my breath catching.I really couldn't wait for her to join me in the new room.

We could have so much fun.

--------

Each day the children would visit our precious Shina, telling her how much they wished she would get better faster so they could play with her again. I slowly, carefully began lowering the doses as I watched her reactions, testing to see if she was showing signs of coming back to me or if she was still lost to that man.

During the first several days I had to bring the dosage back up, but as the weeks began passing she gradually became more docile, no longer trying to move away when I wanted to touch her or press a kiss to her skin. Perhaps soon I would be able to start bringing her out of the room to join Matthew and Emily when they watched a movie.

I just needed to find the right dosage to keep her calm while still able to interact with them at the right level. Of course, I would have to supervise her time with them until I could be sure she was really ok to be out of the room with them, that she was truly coming back to us again.

--------

It had taken nearly a month, four long weeks of finding the right balance of medication, before I was able to finally call her mine again and feel like it could actually be so. Although her eyes still haven't lit up like they used to in the memories that swam through my mine.

But she had finally begun talking to me again, instead of just our children. The first time she spoke to me, I had felt my heart skip a beat. Perhaps it was just a simple question, asking where we were, but she had spoke to me of her own will.

It was a shame I had been unable to share the information with her yet. But I am sure she is getting closer to being well enough to tell her everything. I'm sure she will understand why I couldn't take that chance yet. Soon, soon you will be better, my Shina.

--------

I couldn't help crying out in pleasure when I finally felt it, her hands on my back as she caressed the blade across my skin. Oh Shina, your mine again at last, and I swear I will never let you go again! The feeling of her fingertips tracing through my blood made my heart race in my chest as I drew in one shuddering breath after another.

She gave a slightly broken laugh as I felt the blade dig in just a little deeper before curving delightfully into a new pattern.
