Thanks to Rose Thorn for the banner. AN: I made something up called an ice bite. It practically feels like sharp pieces of ice is cutting you from the inside out and while there isn’t really any ice you do get rip open. You start bleeding everywhere and there is no stopping it. No changing it and no way to turn things back. The pain is unbearable and very cold. Hope you guys like this chapter. Whatever is in italics is something that already happening and someone is remembering.
Justin’s POV I’m sitting in the couch with Kevin straddling me while he cries. My neck is full of his tears and my blood because the little brat is crying but he’s also taking bites at me. I let him because…well, because he’s sad. “Tell me what its wrong,” I say yet again and this time he pulls away. He stares at me for a few seconds. His lips and chin are covered in blood. “He’s mean!” Kevin yells and buries his head back in my neck. Jesus, it’s going to be a long night. I know Maximilian did something to him but I don’t know what. I’m going to teach that asshole a lesson. I don’t know why Kevin doesn’t learn that Max is just an asshole. They are always fighting and then at the end of the day they go to sleep together. Who fucking understand them? “Boys,” Brent says smiling as he enters the study. “River blood, river blood, river blood,” Kevin starts singing. He jumps back and stares at Brent. “River blood!” “I can’t believe Brian keeps this thing around,” Brent says. “It’s so evil. I mean I know that one day he might pull out of it, but it’s not certain.” I wonder what the fuck he’s talking about. I look at Kevin who is smirking at Brent and hope that what he is saying is true. I would like for Kevin to be normal and be able to defend himself from others. “He is very hot though,” Brent whispers as his hand reaches out to touch Kevin’s face. I get up and walk over to Brent. I push his hand away and glare. “Can I help you?” “I came to see you,” he says and smiles as he moves his arms behind his back. I frown a bit confused. “Me?” “Yes,” Brent says and looks at Kevin. “Leave us alone.” Kevin looks at Brent and laughs. “River blood, river blood!” he sings in a high pitch. “How disrespectful,” Brent comments. “But I shouldn’t be surprise with Brian being his master.” I frown at that and look at Kevin. “Kevin, go back to your room.” “Uh!” he shouts clapping his hand very fast. “River blood! River blood!” I don’t know what the hell is up with Kevin, but I can see how ecstatic he is. He runs away and I feel satisfied that he’s not on the floor all the time pretending to be a dog. “What do you want?” I ask raising a brow at Brent. “I was thinking,” Brent says and his arm comes around my waist. “That you would love to spend the night over at my place, it’s much nicer than this place. And I’m much better than Brian.” I was going to punch him and tell him to fuck off. I smile at him instead, because I can’t turn this opportunity away. I can go with him and then escape from there. I tried to leave yesterday with Kevin and we were caught. It was his damn fault because he started singing at the stars! I tried to leave today but I couldn’t leave him. I just couldn’t. So I took him with me and he started shouting for Brian. I close my eyes briefly still feeling the pain after the beating that Brian gave me. I can’t keep trying to get Kevin out of here when he obviously doesn’t want to leave. This is my chance to get away from Brian and I’m going to take it. “What do you say?” Brent asks caressing my face. “Do you think Brian would let me?” I ask innocently. I know very well that Brian is going to have a shit fit if I even ask him. But maybe his brother can convince him somehow. I don’t know. “I know of a way for you to come over with me,” Brent says. “Then Brian won’t be able to tell you what to do or say. You know what I’m talking about,” he says. “He won’t be able to touch a hair on you.” A boy can only dream. “I’ll give you everything you want,” Brent informs me. “I’ll buy anything you want. I’ll give you money and you can get yourself clothes and I’ll buy you cars and I’ll let you eat as much as you want. You can do anything as long as you accept my offer.” I look at him and see that he looks a lot like Brian. Only difference is that Brent is a bit taller and has black hair. I think they have different noses but who cares. If I go with Brent that means freedom; he’s even offering it now. But what if he’s just like Brian or worst, what if I don’t manage to escape from him. “What do you say?” Brent asks. “Since the moment I saw you, I knew you and I were meant to be together.” “I don’t know,” I tell him. “Are you sure Brian can’t say anything?” Brent gives me this gigantic smile; it’s nothing like Brian’s. “I know we have to ask Brian for his approval to do this…but let’s not,” he tells me. I wonder why he needs Brian’s permission. “Once we do it he can’t do shit,” Brent tells me. “I’m the master of this house and he has to be thankful that I opened my doors to him. Justin, you accept my offer and he won’t own you anymore.” I nod and he’s eyes glow yellow. He frowns and when he opens his mouth where I see two more fangs, each appearing behind the ones he already has. He looks like he’s in pain. Then he grabs me and pulls me close. I try to push him away because this is not right. I feel it and I don’t want whatever he is offering anymore. When he bites my neck I feel a sharp pain in my heart and then everything shifts. I feel like the floor has vanished and I’m falling down into a black bottomless pit. I sit up and look at the man hiding in the shadows. “Who are you?” I ask as I pull the duvet closer to me. My nostrils are hit with a scent of vanilla and cinnamon. “What do you want? Who are you?” He comes out of the shadows with a smile. “I’m Brian but you are going to call me master or sire from now on. And I want you.” “No!” I yell. He laughs and gets in the bed. I don’t want to be here. I really don’t. I want to go back home but…there isn’t a home anymore. They killed them. They are all gone now and I don’t have anyone. “I couldn’t contain myself,” he tells me. “I could smell your innocence and I wanted you to be like that forever and now you will be.” I start to cry because I’m so scared. “It’s going to be mine for eternity,” he whispers. “Stay away from me,” I tell him. “Too late,” he says and laughs. “You just had to belong to me,” He informs me. “You had to become one of my boys.” “What did you do?” I ask. “I gave you a little present,” he says. “You won’t have to worry about anything from now on. I’ll take care of you.” “Stay away!” I hiss when he comes closer. He grabs me and pulls me close to him. Then he inhales deeply before he licks my cheek. “My little golden boy.” “Stay away from me!” I yell at him yet again. I take a deep breath and try to pull away. “You don’t have to breathe anymore,” he informs me. “You’ll get used to it don’t worry.” “What are you talking about?” I ask him. He flips me around and I try to fight him. He’s playing with me. I know because he lets me go and when I think I can get away he pulls me to him. He keeps doing that and laughing. It’s so frustrating. “No,” I say and then I feel his cock pressing against my thigh. I start kicking and trying to move away but I can’t. “Shh,” he says and one of his fingers touches me there. I gasp and close my eyes. He cuts my thigh deep and it feels like a warm current running up and down my body. It hurts but is so good! Then he slips his wet finger inside of me and I don’t know what to do with myself. “Tell me you want me forever,” he whispers in my ear. “What?” I ask not sure what’s happening around me or with me. I can’t hear anything but his growls. I can’t help but to rub my erection against the bed. “You want this,” he tells me and then grabs my member. My body shakes as he starts to move his hand up and down on my hard shaft. I can’t think about anything at all. I feel the pain in my thigh and it’s amazing. He rips me open with his penis as he pushes inside and I want more and more. It hurts and yet is fantastic! I never want it to end. “My boy,” he says stopping. “No!” I yell. “Do you want me forever?” He asks. “You already have my present like the others but do you want me to be with you forever?” I don’t know what he wants. I just want him to keep moving. I feel his nails digging into my chest and then he keeps scratching until he reaches my cock. I press back into him and he touches something inside of me that makes me yell. I want this forever with him. Always. “Yes,” he says. “No. What is it going to be?” “Yes!” I shout as hard as I can. “I’ve been waiting for you,” he tells me. “I knew the moment I saw you that you and I were meant for each other,” he tells me and I believe him. He starts moving again. He cuts me everywhere and it’s so fantastic. Then he screams or I scream and my seed shoots out. He turns me around and I feel so sad. I want him inside of me again. I stare at him and then he starts grunting and I see more fangs growing in his mouth. I touch his face worried because he’s in pain. Then he pushes me back and bites me close to my penis and it hurt and is magnificent. I close my eyes and once again shoot my seed. I watch in wonder as a mark starts to form around the two round incisions that look healed. I never had those. Then it stops and I have a reddish stain on me. I look up at Brian and he smiles at me. “They told me your name is Justin,” Brian says. I nod at him. “It is,” I tell him. “What do we do now, Brian?” He hits me hard across the face. I feel my body tingling because of it. “What’s happening?” I ask him. “It’s Master or sire, Justin,” he tells me. “If you don’t obey I’ll have to punish you.” I lean closer to him. “Brian,” I hiss. He pushes me back in bed and starts hitting me hard and fast. He turns me around and pushes his way inside of me hard. The pain envelopes me and it’s amazing. It’s the greatest thing ever. When he’s done I watch as my wounds heal. I want to do it all over again. I’m so hungry. He lies next to me and I come close. I’m different. I can tell now. When I woke up I was too confused to notice. I caress his neck and then bite him. I suck his blood not sure why but I moan with pleasure as it goes down my throat. He pushes me away and groans. “You can’t drink from me unless I tell you to, okay?” “No, Brian,” I tell him smiling. “I want more.” “Fuck,” he hisses. “I’m going to have to break you.” “Break me, Brian,” I say. “You are wicked,” he says smiling as he embraces me. “Go to sleep.” He cradles me close and I know I have never felt so safe in my life. He said he was going to protect me and I smile. I know he’s telling me the truth. I try to sleep but can’t. So I bite him again and he hits me and then ties me up. He tortures me for a long time before he takes me back to bed. Then he stays inside of me as we go to sleep. Life has never been so good. I can’t wait to be able to shout his name over and over again…my Brian. I know that will piss him off. Good. I blink not sure what happened. I can’t really remember anything. I feel the sharp pain in my heart moving up to my neck and it feels like sharp pieces of ice are breaking out from my skin. And I know because Brian has used many things to torture me. Brent is on top of me rubbing his hard on against me and I hate it. Then he falls to the side and starts coughing. I get up because the pain is no longer in me. Ben enters the study and looks from me to Brent. “I can’t believe it,” he says. “This is working better than I thought.” “You!” Brent hisses and his hands reach up to his neck. “No!!” He yells so loudly that I step back. He’s on the floor turning very pale. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. I’m so scared right now and that’s so weird. I don’t scare easily but I’m terrified of this moment. “You’re supposed to ask for things that don’t belong to you,” Ben says and smiles. “Look at you now.” “No way!” Brent chokes out. “What?” Ben asks and kicks him. “Bit more than you could chew?” “Bastard!” Brent hisses. He manages to turn around and starts to crawl towards me. “I’m…kill you!” “I want to see you try, Brent,” Ben tells him laughing as he pulls Brent by the leg so he can’t reach me. “That’s an ice bite my friend.” “No!” Brent cries out in agony. What the fuck is an ice bite? “Poor Brent,” Ben muses. “But then again who cares about you. The bad thing is that Brian really wanted to be able to beat the shit out of you.” “Ahhh!” Brent yells with all his might as he collapses on the floor. “You know you won’t go to hell,” Ben says laughing. “You won’t get stuck in limbo. You’ll go straight into oblivion and there is nothing in this world or the next that can bring you back from that black void. You’re done.” “What’s happening?” I ask. The door opens once again and Brian comes inside and he’s carrying Kevin on his back. “What’s going on?” “This,” Ben says smiling. Brian is so going to kill me now. Something is happening to his brother because of me. I know that it has to do with me. But then Brian puts Kevin on the floor and laughs. “Ahhhh!” Brent screams as he tried to reach Brian but his body shakes with the pain. “What’s wrong brother, darling?” Brian says sarcastically. “You thought you could take him away from me?” “Ah,” Brent shouts and falls on his back kicking wildly. “He’s your…” he tries to say but he can’t. “Yes he is,” Brian agrees to whatever Brent was going to say. “He’s my beautiful golden boy. Since I saw him I knew he was the one. I wasn’t going to let anyone take him away from me. I thought you would come and ask my permission and now look. That’s why there are rules,” he whispers. I see his eyes start bleeding as if he was crying. There is blood coming out of his nose and ears. Then he starts to puke blood and is so red and thick that it almost looks black. Kevin starts clapping with a big smile in place. “River of blood,” Kevin sings happily. “River of blood, oh river of blood.” Brian gets up and shakes his head. “Poor bastard, I wouldn’t wish this upon my worst enemy…but I can live with you going through it.” Now there is blood coming from everywhere. His skin is ripping open for no apparent reason and blood is rushing out. He’s kicking and screaming in anguish and I want him to stop. I can’t take this. It’s too much. Brian looks at me and glares momentarily. “How did you do this?” “What?” I ask. “Brent is not crazy enough to claim you if you said no,” Ben says. “But if you say yes knowing what you are it would have killed you instead of him. So how the fuck did you do this?” Everyone, including Kevin is looking at me. I don’t have a fucking clue. “What?” I ask. “Stop staring at me.” “Did you use magic to do this?” Brian asks angry. “I told you years ago that I didn’t want you doing spells for no fucking reason. They have consequences.” “What spells?” I ask him. I know we can do magic if we want to but I’ve never been interested in it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “That is it,” Brian yells. “Something is wrong with you, Justin!” “There is nothing wrong with me!” I yell at him. Then I move back because Brent keeps on bleeding. This is so screwing up with my plans for escape. “Everyone out,” Brian growls at us. Ben and Kevin quickly exit the study. I move slowly to the door and turn to look at Brian. I see Brian helps Brent stand up before he punches him hard. Brent hits the wall and lands on the floor with a grunt. Brian jumps over to him and starts kicking his brother. When he’s done letting it all out he starts walking to me. The room is stained with blood everywhere. I can still hear Brent whimpering and there is still blood pouring out of him. Brian pushes me out of the study and we find Ben and Kevin waiting outside. “Looks like we’re back for good,” Brian tells us. I frown. “How long before he dies?” “Two to three days,” Brian answers. “And I thought I would have the chance to fight him.” “What?” Kevin asks as he starts turning in circles. “We’re back! What?!” Ben laughs and picks Kevin up. My brother wraps his limbs around him. He starts making that sound he does when he wants to fuck. I wish I could help him. Things are not supposed to be like this. Kevin used to be a pretty standup guy. I’m so sorry that I wasn’t able to protect him better. That was my job. Brian pulls me to him and kisses me. For a moment I’m startled. He pushes his tongue inside of me and I hear him growling. When he pulls back he’s grunting. “Do you know what time it is?” “What?” I ask. “No.” “It’s punishing time,” He whispers. “What? Why?” I ask like a little kid. Fuck, I hate him and the things he does to me. I try to pull away but he holds me flush against him. “You just keep misbehaving,” Brian tells me. “I said no spells.” “I didn’t,” I tell him. “You said yes to my brother,” Brian tells me. “And yet here you are.” “That’s my problem,” I tell him. Brian arches a brow. “Our plan would have work,” he informs me. “I really don’t want you using magic.” I look at Ben and then back at Brian. They had a plan and didn’t even bother to tell me. “You wanted him dead,” I whisper. “So?” Brian asks. “Well, what do you think?” I ask. I know that Brent is as good as dead and that is making Brian very happy. I don’t know what the fuck I did but obviously it was me. So, why not take advantage of the situation. “I did it for you.” “My golden boy,” Brian whispers and pushes me against the wall. “I think we should celebrate then.” “Celebrate,” I say. “Can we go out?!” Brian licks his lips and smiles. “Why not?” “Can Kevin come?” I ask and bat my eyes. I hope this works, I hope this work, I hope this works… “Okay,” Brian tells me. “Go get ready. Look pretty for me.” “And I don’t want Max to go,” I yell at him. Brian rolls his eyes. “Fine,” he mutters. I pull Kevin away from Ben and take him with me. I go and dress Kevin the best I can. I’m taking him with me. This is going to be perfect. This is going to be the perfect opportunity to get away. “Shhh,” Kevin says putting a finger over my lips. “I want a toy.” I stare at him for a few seconds trying to decide if the little shit is trying to blackmail me. Goddamn it! “Okay,” I tell him. “I’ll get you a toy,” I whisper to him. He starts clapping and throws himself at me. “Misbehave and daddy will punish,” Kevin whispers with a big smile. “Right?” I don’t know what he’s talking about and I really don’t care. Tonight is going to be perfect and I will be able to get away from Brian. I’m finally going to be able to get away and Kevin and I are going to be free. “What are you doing?” Max asks. “We’re going out with Brian,” I tell him smiling. It’s so good to tell him. “And you’re not.” “You’re an asshole!” Maximilian yells before he storms out. When Kevin and I are ready we go in search of Brian. He’s arguing with Max because the idiot wants to go but our sire is firm about his decision. I hate him when something like this happens. He’s listening to me and part of me is happy and the other one is annoyed. I wish Brian was normal. Then maybe…stop it Justin! “Ready to go,” Derek says looking at me. He winks at me before he goes out the door with his childe. Brian pulls Max into a hug. He kisses him, bites him and sends him to his room. And I can’t help but smile as Max walks away with a pout. Brian takes eight vampires with him. The only ones I know are Ben, Derek, Peter and Miles. The others are new to me but I can feel they’re strong. “Uh,” Kevin says and laughs. Then he covers his mouth. He starts shifting and I pray that he won’t say anything. “What is it Kevin?” Brian asks from the front seat. Kevin just giggles. “Nothing,” he sings. “Nothing, nothing, nothing.” “He’s really happy tonight,” Ben points out. No shit. I’m happy too. It’s a while before we arrive and I am excited. This is going to work, I can feel it. We get out of the car and Brian is there by my side. He’s holding me tight to his body and glaring at any demon or vampire that comes close to us. “Want to dance?” Brian asks as soon as we are inside. I nod as he takes me by the hand and to the middle of the dance floor. I look around at all the men in there and feel the vampires and demons in there. There are more humans around though. I wish I could help them but right now I have to help myself. “You look very pretty tonight,” Brian whispers in my ear. For some reason I shake at his words. I pull him close and kiss him hard. I have to play this really good. “You’re driving me crazy,” he mutters to me. “I want to eat you up.” I close my eyes and wonder what’s happening to me. I look up at Brian and he smiles and bents his head to kiss me once again. I let him no matter how much I want to start running away. I can’t screw things up. I pull back when I can’t take it anymore. “Brian,” I whisper and bat my eyelashes. “What my little boy?” He asks as his hands start squeezing my ass. Don’t slap him Justin. Focus on the important things. Just do it. Mmm, what was I going to ask? Oh. “Brian,” I say sweetly. “Could we go have a drink?” Brian nods and pulls me with him. We stand next to Ben and Kevin. I see that Ben is keeping Kevin pinned to the bar. Kevin is looking around like he’s in some kind of candy store. I don’t want to think what would happen if he’s set free. I take the beer that Brian gives me and I stand close to him. When he looks at a few guys a few feet away from us I hiss at him making sure no one sees my fangs. This only pleases him and I’m happy about it. He thinks I’m jealous if some guys come close to him. I’m not. I could care less! I’m not! Mmm, I said that already. “Can I dance with Kevin?” I ask him. “Dance, dance, dance,” Kevin says. “That way, that way, that way,” he says laughing. “That way, that way, that way and bye, bye.” I want to die with what he’s singing but thank god no one seems to be paying attention to him. “Justin,” Brian says and I know he’s going to try and convince me not to. “Come on,” I say. “One dance only. And I will be careful and hold him close.” “Okay,” Brian relents. God, it almost feels like I can make him do whatever I want. But then again I know that’s not true.
