Slave to the Darkness 158 158 Who is the Poacher? 1

~I could totally picture that happening. Claude is a glutton. I wonder if Sephira likes seafood and if she can cook? Do you hear that motor on the water?~ Yuki listened closely to the motor that was coming towards them.

Cedric focused on the watch and sure enough, he heard it loud and clear. ~Yeah, it is coming for the third trap judging on the angle. Not a wise choice but if we catch them red-handed then we will be able to charge them. I brought a camera that can take pictures in the dark just in case something like this happened. I will catch them.~ He pulled up the second cage and dumped it quickly. He rowed the boat towards the third trap and stood up snapping pictures of them wrecking the trap and stealing the goods. Once he saw who it was in the picture he smirked.

~Do you recognize that person? Is that why you are smirking?~ Yuki watched Cedric but did not look at the thieves as it was not what she wanted to deal with. Not that she couldn't see them but she might lose control.

~Will you lose control if you see who it is? Is that why you are looking away, my sweet succulent slave?~ Cedric moved the boat away and rowed towards the main boat. Once they were far enough away he started the motor and the two went to the dock instead of going back to the boat. He lifted Yuki out of the boat after tying it to the dock.

Yuki was holding the camera as if it was precious. "So we know who it is, how will we deal with this?" She skipped happily behind him.

"Just wait for it." Cedric leads her into town and they are both wearing bathing suits and no shoes. He takes her to the news shop and the guy at the counter glances up.

"We don't take tourists. Camera shop is next door." The guy sounds completely unenthusiastic.

"Oh, I see, so I guess you do not want dibs on who is poaching from the traps that are set up?" Cedric turns to leave and smirks.

The guy scrambles to get up. "Please stay. Sit down and I will get the editor." He rushes from the room and comes back with a Lady.

"You are an imbecile I can't believe that you almost turned this man away. I am very sorry for my worker's treatment to you, Sir. What do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" She stood and bowed to Yuki and Cedric.

Yuki smiled and looked at the lady, "We have pictures you might be interested in."

"It is as my fiance says. I will give you the poachers' pictures so long as you make sure that it is headline news front and cover tomorrow morning. I do have to take them to Tyler so either you want a copy or..." Before Cedric could finish the lady interrupts.

"I WANT IT. PLEASE!! Oh please. Give me the pictures. First, please come in." She leads them into her office and pulls her chair up to the desk.

Cedric sat down and patted his lap. Yuki walked over and sat in his lap. She snuggles in his embrace and waits to see what the lady says about their closeness.

"It is good that you found your partner. I saw the possessive mark on her as soon as I got to the competition. Now cut the Bullshit. The pictures please." She holds out her hand impatiently.

Cedric chuckled and took out the memory card. "Just make sure you do not destroy it. I do need to show Tyler still, Serina the siren. She is one of us."

Serina took the disk and quickly inserted it into the computer. She went to the most recent pictures and found the ones she was looking for. She licked her lips. "This is fucking beautiful. The cherry on the cake. Cedric, you did so well and your little lamb would you show me your true form if I show you mine?"

Yuki pouts, "little lamb? I am probably older than you are, but I agree." Yuki lets her hair turn back to silver and her eyes turn the red swirled with silver.

"I am sorry, your majesty." Serina bows and transforms into a beautiful sea creature that looks like a woman but also a fish that would live in the ocean. Her hands became webbed and her feet start to merge and look like a mermaid's tail. "I might not look all that pretty like this but I can not fight what I am."

Yuki got off Cedric and walked over the Serina. "You are as beautiful as you could be." Yuki gives her a hug and focuses on transforming back and while holding Serina she is hit with intense thirst. She stepped away quickly and looked at Cedric.

Cedric got up and walked to Yuki. "Shhh. It is okay. I will give you what you want." He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her away from Serina. "Sorry, Serina, you must have triggered her thirst. It is said that a blood bond is only formed once but those affected by other things may have more than one partner."

Yuki bit into Cedric's neck and started drinking his blood. Feeling his blood coming into her mouth was not stopping the thirst. She stopped drinking and looked at the weakened Cedric. "If I take anymore you will not survive. You do not have the chocolates on you and I refuse to choose another."

Serina looked at Yuki and turned back to her transformed state. "I am sorry if I cause you any grief. I tend to forget that sometimes I will have a pull on a vampire due to the clashes of our powers. I offer you my blood to sedate yourself. You do not need to tie yourself to me. That is if Cedric agrees." She looks at Cedric.

"Yuki, drink her blood. It will help sedate you and you will not need to worry about the next time you meet one of her kind." Cedric touched her cheek and then stumbled back to his chair.
