Glass Hearts

"Dympna," Jeremy runs over to a demon that hasn't been pinned by one of the knives. She might not have been pinned by a knife but she has been hurt. The wound is bleeding out at an incredible rate.

Jeremy picks her up and puts pressure on her wound trying to get the blood stopped. "Jer-Jeremy? Is it really you?"

"Shh, yes. Don't speak, what happened to you?" Jeremy says illogically.

Dympna gives a slight chuckle, "First you tell me to not talk and then you order me to tell you what happened. You always were indecisive. Just as the attack came I was hunting your asshole parents. Your mother gave this to me to remember her by before running scared like I've never seen either of them be."

"They should be scared. Why'd they do this to you Dym? I thought they loved you." Jeremy is confused, Dympna is the only one that ever stood up for him.

"I told them to go to hell. That they and their fucking son Adon need to stay away from me or I'd kill them." Dympna gasps out.

"Why? I thought they loved you?"

"Your parents aren't capable of that emotion. They let Adon force himself on me and when I got with child forced me to live with that bastard."

"Well you don't have to worry about him, he'll be dead in a day or two. After suffering incredible agonies. I should have crucified him instead of leave him though." Jeremy doesn't like the fact that Dympna was forced by his sadistic brother.

"He wasn't the only one Jer. He wasn't even the first," Dympna takes a breath and Jeremy can hear that something is wrong, there is too much wetness in her lungs. "Your parents are in the safe place. Councilman Albrecht's basement and through a metal door. It's enchanted so no magic will touch it. That's where the survivors went."

"Did my parents force you?" Jeremy asks tears running down his cheeks.

"The very first night and every night after your father forced with your mother watching most times. She found it entertaining to hear my screams. She's the one that set the magic barriers so my screams wouldn't be heard by anyone else. But when Adon got old enough they let him join the fun."

"When was that Dym?" Jeremy asks not holding back his sobs.

"The day the king banished you. There is nothing you could have done, Jeremy."

"Jeremy? I can heal her," Lance says gently.

Jeremy looks up at Lance, "You would deplete yourself to save her?"

"I won't be depleting myself. It will take a lot, yes, but it won't deplete me." Lance smiles at the younger demon. She means something to him, and she's not a traitor. That alone would have been enough, but that she gave the whereabouts of the other demons, that cinched it.

"Please, Lance. I'll do whatever you want," Jeremy knows that kind of promise to a powerful demon like Lance is risky.

Lance smiles, "Whatever, huh?" Lance's eyes dance wickedly even as he bends down. He gathers his energy and sinks it into the badly hurt demoness. Shortly her breathing eases and her wound heals.

"Jeremy?" Dympna asks in awe.

Jeremy smiles at the female in his arms, "This is Lance. You might of heard of him?" By the blanching of her face she had, "He healed you because he's my friend."

Now Dympna turns her face to Jeremy, "You have a very powerful friend Jeremy."

"Two actually, my brother Jim is here as well. Then of course if you count our bond mates that makes four." Lance says chuckling.

"Dympna, where is your child?" Jeremy asks gently, hoping to save that child at least.

"Adon killed the first two in fits of jealousy and anger. The next two were girls and I'm glad they died young. I heard your father talking to Adon about forcing them as well."

"Did they die on their own?" Jeremy asks with tears in his eyes, she's gone through so much.

"Yes, actually. The girls were weak, they wouldn't have survived the forcings. At least they were spared that. Jeremy you haven't ever forced..."

"No," Jeremy smirks, "I haven't had to. The humans seem to find me plenty desirable. I have a houseful of pets."

"Jeremy, she's going to need a safe place to stay and she'll need food as well," Jim warns.

Jeremy nods and stands with the demoness in his arms. "I'll take her to my place."

"She'll kill your pets and Tenesa." Leann warns.

Jeremy shakes his head, "No, I'll put on a restraint for now. She'll be able to feed off the sexual energies only. And there should be sufficient for her to have enough. It might not satisfy, but she won't starve either." 

"Dympna, I'm taking you to my pets. I'll have them take care of you, but you must not eat more than the restraint I'm placing on you. I won't have you kill them."

"I won't break the restraint Jeremy, I'm not sure I could even if I wanted to. You've grown very strong." Dympna smiles at him even as she falls asleep in his arms.

Jeremy creates the portal and finds his pets waiting not far away. They follow him as he takes Dympna to his room. "Take care of her. Carry on your sexual fun, she's going to need to feed from it. Has there been any further problems?"

"Just Roger being bored." Jeremy nods. 

"We've taken care of two of the levels, hopefully the others won't take so long."

Zee nods at the demoness, "Who is she?"

"My father's niece. My parents supposedly took her in to raise her when her parents died. She's the only one that ever stood up for me."

"We'll take good care of her Jeremy. What should we call her so we don't offend?" Lena asks softly. Jeremy looks at Dympna the way she's always wanted to be looked at by a man.

"Call her Dympna. I'll be back as soon as I can." Jeremy says and caresses Dympna's face ever so tenderly.

"Yes, master," they all chorus.

Jeremy smiles at them all and gives them all kisses. "Lance may be coming back soon to feed. He drained himself pretty good healing her. Take care of his needs."

"Yes, master," Chorused once more.

Jeremy nods and opens the portal back to his friends.
