| Chapter 7: The Love of a Goddess | ||||||
| As Jim lay on her chest, cured up in a ball, Crystal felt a tear run down her chin. It took the entire night, but he finally seemed to be resting comfortably. Last night had been dreadful. Jim had tried again to quite the painkillers he was addicted to. But this time, the withdraw was ten times worse. Throughout the night Jim went through uncontrollable seizures followed by painful spasms. Crystal had to take him to the bathroom at least a dozen times as nausea overtook him. Not to mention the moaning. Poor Jim had been in more misery last night than she had ever seen him in before. The only thing that seemed to help Jim through the night was her warm embrace and soothing purr. However the whole ordeal left Crystal emotionally drained and tired. She had not gotten a single wink of sleep last night. Then at about 7:45 in the morning the doorbell went off. Who could that be? Crystal wasn�t expecting anyone today. She leaned over and hit the door release. Tiny walked in and said, �Master I foun..� �Shhhh! He just fell asleep and I don�t want you to wake him.� She said softly while pointing down at Jim. �I�m sorry master.� Tiny replied in a lower tone. �It�s alright Tiny. Now what did you find?� �Master, they�re all having a big deal going down at the old machinery factory tonight. I though you would want to know.� �Who�s having a deal tonight?� �All of the major drug dealers in the city. The Lydonna family will be there, so will the Killer�s street gang. And about four other smaller dealers. There�s a huge shipment of Wasps coming in tonight.� �What are wasps?� �Wasps is the street name for the painkillers Jim is hooked on. A shipment this big only comes in twice a year. They�ll all be there.� �You did good Tiny. Come back and get me tonight. Two hours before this deal is to go down.� �Yes master.� Tiny replied and walked out the door he came in. This was the best news Crystal heard all night. All of the sorrow, pain, and grief she been feeling over the night had at this moment turned into anger. Anger at what these men were selling. Anger at what her Jim had to go through last night. Anger at what she had go through last night. She was going to enjoy making them pay tonight. They were going to suffer like her man suffered last night. Once Jim woke up she told him everything. He begged her not to leave him, but she insisted. The only way to get Jim to stop buying drugs was to stop the supply. However instead of arguing that point, she gave him a long massage to relieve some of his pain. Afterwards, she placed him back on her chest and covered him with her hand. Within a few minutes he was sleeping like a baby. Hopefully she would be back before he woke up. That evening Tiny took her out to the factory. The factory was in a secluded part of town with virtually no traffic whatsoever. During its life, it produced several dangerous bi-product that had serious health side effects. Now, even after it was closed and cleaned up, no one lives within three miles of it. Crystal quietly surveyed the site using her cat prowess. The main building took up most of the site and must have been a quarter of a mile long. After the factory was abandoned, it was emptied out and left to rot. Several large rusted out construction machines littered the ground. These machines were once the display models for the factory�s products, but now useless pieces of junk. It was twenty minutes before the scheduled meeting when they arrived. However Tiny reported that all of the dealer�s vehicles we outside except for one. So Crystal found a dark corner of the factory to lie down and hide. This was not difficult at all since there was almost no lighting in the whole site. Ten minutes later another vehicle pulled up. It was the last dealer and he was even nice enough to show up early. Crystal grinned cruelly as she thought to herself. �Yes show up early to die.� As quickly and quietly as possible, Crystal got up and headed toward the building. On her way she grabbed the rusted out models. Then one at a time, she placed them against each of the factory�s seven doors. But the model that she put against the last door knocked it in. Although it still blocked the entrance, the dealers were now aware something was going on. Crystal grabbed Tiny and placed him a safe distance away from the factory. After instructing him not to enter the compound, she went to the building. Crystal let out a roar and ripped off part of the roof. This caused the dealers to frantically try to get the doors open to escape. Some of them even began to fire their lasers and pulse guns at her. However nothing was going to save them now. Their fates were sealed. Crystal climbed into the building among the energy weapon�s fire. To date no energy weapon had ever hurt her. That day was no exception. But the attempt always managed to piss her off. At random, Crystal picked a victim and stomped her paw down on him. That familiar surge of pleasure shot up her leg. In addition the feeling of crushed flesh and warm blood caressed her pads delightfully. And as usual, the whole experience left her craving more. But something was wrong. The whole thing was over too soon. That little bastard probably didn�t even feel any pain. That would not do! The rest of them had to be made to suffer. Just like there poison was making her man suffer right now! After scanning the room Crystal found a small group, about four, of the little criminals by one of the doors. She walked over to them and watched as they began to beg for their lives. All four were on their knees whimpering and crying like cowards. Although this managed to entertain her for a moment, it did not get them one bit of sympathy. Swinging one of her paws forward, Crystal knocked the first beggar on his back. Then she positioned her big toe over one of his legs and began to slowly compress it. The mobster cried out in agony as he felt the bones in his leg break, one at a time. His pleas for mercy seemed to only enhance his tormentor�s delight. Then a massive surge of pain overcame him as the limb burst open, spilling its contents onto the floor. Finally the gigantic toe lifted up, leaving behind the squashed and twitching remains of what was once his leg. As warm blood began to soak her toe, Crystal purred. Now that is what she wanted! These little parasites experiencing as much pain as she could inflict on them. And the whole thing making her paws feel magnificent. The other three watched in terror as the paw lifted up and then knocked the second beggar on his back. This pathetic sole watched as both of his arms got crushed flat by the merciless toe. However after she finished with his arms, Crystal gradually flattened the rest of his body with the sole of her paw. After lifting off of the horrific remains of the second beggar, the paw swung over and subjected the first beggar to the same terrible fate. Then over the next forty minutes Crystal systematically worked her way through the rest of the factory. She killed the remaining dealers in an assortment of callous ways showing no mercy in any way. In all over thirty men paid the ultimate price for their sins. Now that both her hands and paws were covered in blood and tingling Crystal felt satisfied. She laid down in the middle of the floor and decided just to enjoy the fruits of her labor. The blood and twitching remains that stuck to her pads were still sending waves of pure bliss through her body. It was an incredible after effect that she had never noticed before. However even though she was at the height of ecstasy, something was still not right. Her sensitive feline ears could still hear two sets of hearts beating. One coming from outside and one from the inside. Tiny was outside that meant that one of those little vermin was left in the factory. So Crystal got up and gradually began to search the factory, allowing her ears to guide her. It did not take long to find him. He managed to hide himself under the grisly remains of a few of his comrades. That was a clever tactic, one that almost allowed him to escape. But if he liked those repulsive remnants so much, then she was going to give him some more to play with. The wretched little man shrieked in terror as Crystal swung one of her deadly paws over him. His eyes bulged wide open in fear while staring at the blood soaked pads hovering over his head. Then he heard a petrifying voice demand, �I want you to lick the blood off. All of it!� After fifteen minutes of licking, the little parasite had managed to clean most of the blood off. Also since all the stomping had made Crystal�s paw very sensitive, she could feel his tongue working its way through the delicate cracks and crevices of her pads. It was a strange but soothing sensation that made her purr with satisfaction. All things considered, Crystal was really impressed with him. The cleaning job he did with his tongue delighted her almost as much as killing him would have. Therefore she reluctantly decided to spare his life. Crystal picked up the little man in her hand. She asked him, �What�s your name?� �I�m�.I�m Sammy.� The man replied, quivering frantically with fear. �Well listen Sammy, you got real lucky today. I�ve decided to spare your life. But under one condition.� �Condition?� He asked while trying not to get sick right in her hand. �You will never speak a word of what happened today. Do you understand?� Crystal replied. �Yes.� Then she brought him real close to her nose and sniffed him. �Good. Now I have your scent. If you ever break your word I�ll find you. When I do, I promise your death will be very slow and painful.� Crystal climbed out of the factory with the man still in the palm of her hand. Once outside, she placed him on the ground and said, �Now get out of here. And you better hope and pray that this is the last time I ever see you.� Sammy wasted no time in running away from the factory and onto the street. Once there, he fell to his knees and threw up. The vile taste of blood, guts, and that monster�s foot still lingered in his mouth. She did not have to worry about him telling about today. He was going to do everything he could to forget it. Tiny walked up to her from the road. He had heard the dreadful screams that came from the factory. He didn�t even want to know what she did to the dealers in there. �Master are you finished?� �Yes Tiny, they won�t be selling any more poison ever again. Did you set up the building?� �Yes master. I poured the fuel along the building. All we need to do is light it.� Crystal nodded and Tiny lighted the fuel along the base of the factory. Within a few minutes the whole building was engulfed in flames. The intense fireball could be seen for miles. Very soon the fire department and police would be arriving, but not before most the evidence inside is destroyed. �What about that one? He saw everything.� Tiny asked while pointing to the man throwing up on the road. �Don�t worry about him Tiny. He won�t tell a sole what happened here tonight. Let�s go home.� With that, she picked Tiny up and dropped him off at his cabin on the way home. When Crystal got home later that evening, she found Jim still sleeping on her pillow where she left him. After a quick bath, she joined him. Her powerful presence woke him and he asked if she was done. �Yes, now let�s worry about getting you better.� She replied. �How long do you intend to keep on nursing me?� �As long as it takes. I love you.� Hence over the next few weeks Crystal nursed Jim back to health. This time he stayed off the drugs and remained clean. But he never forgot what she did for him or the extent of her love. Crystal was in everyway the goddess that he saw her as. She was kind to her friends and merciless to her enemies. Jim felt as though he truly had a power undreamed of in her. A power that would protect and care for him. The power that comes from the love of a goddess. Character based upon that created by Rogue. |
