She was unconscious when Elric walked into the infirmary at the Mansion. There were two other daemons in attendance, acting as nurses. The room was filled with monitoring devices and the room looked like a private room in a hospital or clinic.
As it actually, at least to the outside world. The Nephalem had learned to hide them themselves in plain sight. The Mansion, as it was called, was a private care facility. This was perfect for the Nephalem breeding programme. The normal procedures were to monitor the birth of the daemon children, and then adopt them without any knowledge from humankind. Even the mothers were pleased to see them go to a happy home, as the newborns were nothing like them. With a generous financial settlement, humankind always acquiesced to Nephalem.
But this was no ordinary breeding. This was potentially world-ending.
Elric nodded to the two nurses, who were ranked even lower than he. They left immediately. They would be on the phone calling those in authority and telling that Elric was beside the humankind woman.
Elric didn't care.
Elric thoughts were consumed by the woman laying all but naked in front of him.
He was thought of as a maverick, a fool and most of all, a danger. But Elric was held in esteem because of his great courage in the battles during the Fall. He had been in the vanguard at the final bloody battle, bringing God's Morning Star to heel. He stood, battle sword black with blood and seven great wounds upon him. In the countless years that had passed was tolerated, but always watched for he did not always follow the Patriarch's orders exactly.
He stood looking at Gina's face. Impassive while unconscious. It was clear that the Patriarch lacked the understanding or the courage to know what should be done. Turning the trolley next to her bed, Elric flicked through the medical report on her condition.
The chart was inconclusive. If she was with child, there were no signs. As with all daemonic birth, the gestation was much more rapid than a normal humankind birth. In fact, like all dark magick, the birth of his child would be completed within a few weeks. Gina would begin to show her condition within the next three days, and the birth would follow quickly. In the normal course of events, Elric would be unmoved by the mother's birth. The child would be the responsibility of the Legion, a common collective noun for daemon kind, the child would achieve ascension within five years and would be expected to breed with another humankind within seven. Elric was expected to forget about this humankind woman, and breed with another soon, as his seed had been successful.
But Elric was a maverick and Elric rarely did what was expected.
Gripped with unexpected energy and forthright purpose, he disconnected the plastic tubes and intravenous lines that kept Gina asleep, expertly removed the cannula from her hand and applied a dressing. He scooped her up in his arms and made for the door. As he raced through the corridors, avoiding common thoroughfares and keeping to the passages that led away from the main rooms, he made his way to the garages and found his trusty black coupe.
Even with his speed, his chances were slim but soon, he had driven out to the gravel driveway. As he passed the electric gates, the Mansion came to life. Exterior lights blazed, and the occupants were stirred as though hornets in a nest, cars were sent in all directions. CCTV was examined and all manner of equipment was set to the task of finding him and more importantly, the potential offspring.
But they were too late. Then the Mansion was in an uproar.
The Patriarch shouted and threatened, then grew sullen and resentful. His humankind slave would suffer much that night. A large bounty was placed upon Elric's head and Hermione was summoned, questioned, but was found to know nothing and was as shocked to be told of Elric's disappearance. She was banished to her apartments in the Mansion, in a petulant desire for revenge by the Patriarch. The Nephalem alerted their eyes and ears to the humankind world but frustratingly, Eric had disappeared.
Along with his offspring and the humankind mother.
Elric had long fashioned his secret escape from the Mansion. He had meticulously maintained a clandestine hideaway, even from Hermione. He may not have been High Daemon, and he may not have the natural knowledge of conjuring or summoning but he knew humankind well. He knew where to hide in their world, and he knew how to stay hidden. As his beloved black coupe travelled through the night, Gina fell in and out of consciousness. She was vaguely aware of him and travelling in the car. As he ate up the miles, travelling to a remote house in the north, Elric had time to consider his options. More importantly, to whom should he go? He had little doubt that Gina's safety would be at risk. Many Daemons would welcome the opportunity to control her and any offspring to their ends. Over the centuries, many Nephalem were convinced that the earth should fall to their hands and wrestle it from humankind.
That would mean war with humankind. A war that he was sure the Nephalem couldn't win, Elric feared such thoughts. Humankind would resort to their atomic arsenals and then the earth would be nothing but a burnt-out battlefield.
Eventually, Elric stopped his car in a small town, with a lock-up and transferred Gina to a second vehicle, a rugged 4X4 for the hill climb that would be necessary to deliver them to his mountainside farm in the wilds of the Peaks. Of course, the winter affected him nought, but Gina would suffer. From the large rear compartment, Elric pulled out blankets and a quilted jacket and salopettes. He dressed her, without emotion. Although her body was beautiful, Elric buried any lustful thoughts and focussed on keeping her alive. They still have a long journey to make, and in the end, he would find some answers- he prayed.
It was in the early hours of the next snow-filled morning when the 4X4 finally stopped. Elric flung open the door pleased to be out of the confinement of the vehicle. He opened the rear door and took Gin from the back. Finally, the induced unconsciousness was beginning to wear off and she stirred with greater energy, but Elric knew it would be hours before she would be fully aware. With her placed in the main bed, warm thick bedclothes covered her, after he took the borrowed clothing from her, leaving her naked once again. He left her. He would have to work quickly to ensure they would remain hidden.
Although tired, he worked for the next few hours, covering the tracks of the 4x4 and then parked the vehicle in an outbuilding. Elric was careful and once complete, he set about making the farmhouse comfortable. He set a fire in the main living space and then took to the kitchen to make a warming meal, and then made a single call on a satellite phone set permanently on charge. It was short but it would be prayed it would bring answers and assistance from one who would know what Gina was and what he might do.
"Malik? Father, it is Elric. I have great need of your counsel. I will wait at our farm. I have a humankind woman here and some believe she is a firstborn come again. Come as quickly as you can." Elric was quiet but his tone was urgent. He replaced the handset and then retired to the second bedroom. He needed to sleep and recover his energies, for the next few weeks would be a trial that even his strength may not be sufficient.
If a restful sleep was Elric's wish, he was not granted it. His dreams were turbulent and troubling, and, in the middle, Gina appeared to him. Elric had known other humankind women, but Gina had struck something deep within him and when he dreamed of her, it was the full force of lust. She appeared as she had that night, her desire smothered his own. Her naked body, with small pert breasts, was shapely and taking her nipples to his mouth, her reaction was electrifying. Her nubs swelled and stiffened and when his mouth suckled on them, her body rose to crush her flesh to his mouth. With his fine white teeth, he nibbled causing Gina to moan and squeal but not pull away. He took her up in his strong arms and held her tight. They found each other's mouths and searched each other with long, probing kisses.
"Oh Elric, I don't know you, but I want you inside me. I want you to taste me." Gina cooed; her voice was as velvet, but a hunger dwelled within her and Elric could feel her need. Laying her on the bed, she opened her legs for him, revealing her wet delicate folds. Elric smiled and settled his face to her pussy.
