Gregori purred into the kiss he was given, nuzzling at his Master gently as he was content being so close to the man. Struggling to wake up, he was having some difficulty in doing so. Maybe it was because most of his energy was gone with having his memories taken from him. He would need rest, along with some fresh blood before the sun rose. Opening his eyes for only a short moment as he lifted his slightly reddened eyes to his Master with a soft whimper. "Master..." He whispered horsely, the hunger clear in his voice.

 

Lucas had only closed his eyes for a short second before his Sire was gone, causing him to crash into the ceiling of the place. Groaning loudly as he tumbled to the floor with a loud crash and what sounded like a few bones breaking on impact. Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared towards the ceiling for a long moment, the breath knocked out of him causing him to be in a shocked state for a moment. Taking a deep breath with a loud whimper as he sat up, wincing as he found himself in a decent amount of pain from a few broken ribs.

Dameon understood. There would have to be time for the two of them later, but still, just having the old Gregori back in his arms again, nuzzling up to him like a child without any darkness or doubts lingering between them was a priceless gift to him. “I know what you need, my love,” he said, lowering his lips to Gregori’s again before craning his neck, granting his fledgling access to the veins that contained his rich, ancient blood. “Drink your fill and then rest, Gregori. You’re going to need the sleep.”

 

“Lucas!” Remus cried out in disbelief, materializing beside his fledgling. Seeing the tears in his fledgling’s eyes that were threatening to fall and the careful way Lucas’s fingertips prodded his side, Remus shook his head. How on earth could Lucas have so totally lost control over his abilities and flown into the roof? “Lucas, hold still,” he commanded, taking his fledgling’s hands before Lucas could do anything. Closing his eyes, Remus sent out his mind and grimly opened them again a moment later: Lucas had really broken two ribs and cracked a third. “That was careless, Lucas. You must never let your mind slip like that- thank heavens it’s only some ribs. Here- you need to drink ym blood,” Remus instructed as he shifted behind his fledgling to support Lucas as he sat up. Leaning over from behind, he tilted his head to the side and held a hand up to draw his silver hair back. “While you do, I’ll transfer energy to you. It will cause your ribs to heal, but it might be painful, so take a hold of my hands and squeeze them.”

Gregori nipped lightly at his Master's lips when he was kissed. His gaze moving slowly when his Sire moved to give him access. Sliding his lips against the neck gently as his tongue darted out to trail lightly against a vein that would be pumping blood if the man was human. Closing his eyes, his fangs pierced the flesh with a soft groan leaving him. Feeling dizzy at the blood that rushed into his mouth as he greedily began to drink from the man. His fingers clinching at Dameon's shirt lightly.

 

Lucas winced with a soft whimper as his tear filled gaze lifted to his Sire. His hands clinching at his side as his body trembled from the pain that was racing through him. A loud whimper came out in a rush as his hands were taken from his side causing him to tremble violantly against the pain. His painfilled and frightened gaze lifted to his Sire as he was being scolded. But it was when his Sire give him access to his neck, he clinched his hands tightly as he bit down on the flesh. Crimson liquid flooded into his mouth as he shut his eyes tightly against the pain, gulping down large amounts in a greedily mannor. Trying his best to forget about the pain, even tho it was always hard to focus on something else other than broken bones.

Dameon kept his eyes closed, simply enjoying the feeling of being fed on. reaching his mind out, he touched his fledgling’s and relaxed further when he once again felt how carefree and happy Gregori was. No dark shadows lurked within his lover’s soul- there was only sunshine and sweetness. Dameon nodded to himself. Yes, he had done the right thing by removing his fledgling’s painful memories. Gregori could still be of considerable help to them, even if he didn’t recall all that had happened. Weaving his fingers into his fedgling’s long hair, Dameon kissed the side of Gregori’s hair. “Once you’ve fed, go back to sleep, Gregori. It’s been a long day and tomorrow night we have to hold an important council,” he quietly told him.

 

Remus waited until Lucas had stopped whimpering quite as piteously. He couldn’t imagine how painful it had to be for his fledgling to have cracked his ribs. This probably also wouldn’t exactly help convince Lucas that it was important to try once again to improve his flying skills. Still, it seemed that it was helping Lucas to drink more of his blood. Waiting a moment longer until he was sure that Lucas was getting more and more lost in the crimson liquid, Remus began to transfer his energy into Lucas’s body. In order to do this, he had to give up some of his power and, transferring it ino his own blodd, making it thicker and even tastier, he winced as Lucas’s body eagerly took it in. “Slowly Lucas,” he gently admonished his fledgling. “I know it tastes better, but if you drink too fast, the healing process will speed up and it will hurt unnecessarily more. Easy there, my love.”

A whimper could be heard from him as he heard his Master. What kind of council did they need? He didn't remember anything about Remus or Lucas, nor his time with the council. It seemed that he had been pulled back to the point that he was honestly at the point of when Dameon had created him. He had no knowledge of the dragonslayer legend as well as what had happened in the war that had happened quite a few years after he had been turned. Getting what he needed from the man, he slid his tongue over the pinpricks and lifted his silver gaze to his Sire. "Council?" He asked softly. "I-Is something wrong Master?" He whimpered. His mind racing for a quick moment in thoughts of maybe he had done something wrong and that now his Master was upset with him. "I.... Im sorry if I have upset you Master, I honestly didn't mean to. But I... I can not remember doing anything wrong."

 

Lucas had a hard time slowing down, that was until the pain seemed to intensify and had him whimpering in pain once again. Slowing down to the point of barely drinking the blood, the power causing the crimson liquid to only awakening his cravings even more. He fought not to drink faster as he did not wish for the pain to be worse. His fingers clinched into his Sire's shirt as his pain filled eyes shut tightly.

Dameon chuckled, hugging Gregori closer to his chest comfortingly. “No Grehori, don’t be afraid. It’s not that has done anything wrong,” he reassured. Yes, he hadn’t thought of that- but it was natural that everything that had happened to him and his fledgling had been erased, so his fledgling was about to learn a great deal of things in to short a time. “At the moment, all that you need to know is that we have some guests who have come to stay at our domicile for a while, another vampire with his fledgling. The elder is called Remus- the two of you will become friends shortly, I am most sure of it. And his fledgling is Lucas. Lucas is a very special vampire, because he is the so-called Dragon slayer. Don’t trouble your head at the moment with this new word, Gregori. All you must know is that Lucas is very special and that we have to do everything in our power to reassure that he is treated well and that he is kept safe. Many bad things are out there, trying to hunt him down and he needs our help asmuch as we need his help to survive as a race. Now try to get some sleep, Gregori,” he said, gently kissing his fledgling. “I want to go out o speak with our guests before the sun goes up. Tomorrow we will speak further,” he promised.

 

“There- there, Lucas. I know it’s painful, bur bear with it a momen longer,” Remus confidently spoke to his fledgling. “Hold onto my shirt as tightly as you must- if you want to rip it, do it. Just don’t drink any faster, otherwise you will really hrt yourself.” Remus continued to hold Lucas close. When he heard the crunch inside his fledgling’s body as the first rib healed and moved back into place, he tightened his hold on Lucas’s arms, knowing that it had to hurt. “You’re faring really, really well, my love. Come, drink a little more to gather strength for the next rib,” he coaxed, lifting his eyes as he sensed Dameon coming closer. Just great- he could already imagine the ribbing he’d get for having got Lucas injured…

Gregori whimpered softly, even after being told he had done nothing wrong. yet, he still felt as if his Master was upset over something. Blinking as he was being told about the guests, he raised a brow. His Master had never allowed anyone in their home... definantly when he was so young and had barely any training. Not understanding about the Dragonslayer, nor not knowing anything about Remus. He whimpered softly as he lowered his gaze. Nodding after a long moment, he curled up in the bed as he settled down to fall back asleep. It had taken him a little while before his eyes closed and he fell asleep.

 

Lucas' fingers clinched tighter into the shirt he held onto, trying his hardest not to drink to much harder than he was already. Whimpering and wincing at the bones that cracked and poped back into the place. Healing on their own, yet it was not a pleasent feeling. A hard flinch had him whimpering loudly as he tried to curl up, his body trembling gently. After a long moment his fangs detached from Remus' neck with soft whimper, his tear filled gaze lifting up to his Sire. Even tho he was healed, it still hurt a little. More sore than anything else.

Remus patted Lucas absentmindedly, cursing inside when he saw Dameon’s face darkening like a thundercloud. “I can explain this, really,” tried to defend himself as he stood up and pulled Lucas up with him. “We were training, you see. I wanted to use our time here with Lucas to make sure that he knew how to fly better, but he unfortunately can’t control his wings yet and flew into the roof- but he’s healed again nicely, so there’s no point in getting angry at me, right Lucas?” he nudged his fledgling, glancing down and noticing the pained gaze for the first time. Remus’s face fell. “Lucas! Oh no, what’s wrong, my love?” he wondered, completely forgetting Dameon for the moment as he gently touched Lucas’s cheek, his crimson eyes filling with worry. Had he done something wrong? Had he overseen another bad injury? He didn’t want to see Lucas like this- this wasn’t right-

 

“You absolute imbecile,” Dameon seethed, stomping right up to Remus and smacking him on the back of his head, hard. “Exactly what part of “look after Lucas” didn’t you understand?” he snapped. “All in due time- what Lucas needs most of all now is to strengthen his knowledge in the art of magical incantations and curse breaking. Physical strength is important, but that’s where you and Gregori come in: the two of you will be the foot soldiers, as well as my demon army, but Lucas must have his head clear when we enter battle with the enemy – be it the council or whatever.” His face clouded over at the mention of former and he sighed, shaking his head. “Before I forget it, please: neither of you must ever repeat a word of what you heard Gregori tell you tonight, about what happened to him at the council. I have erased Gregori’s memories, so at the moment he doesn’t know either of you, nor does he know what that twisted Rioul did to him. Please, promise me that you won’t tell him anything,” he begged, looking most pointedly at Remus.

Lucas blinked and turned his gaze towards Dameon. His eyes quickly turning to fear as he seen the anger in the man. Trying to back deeper into his Sire. Hearing Remus, he turned his gaze to him. Shaking his head for a short moment. "N... no... Just a little sore..." He whispered soflty.

 

Watching as his Sire was smacked up the side of the head. His eyes widened and anger seemed to bubble up in himself, before it quickly disappeared. Hearing about Gregori's memories being taken from him. His heart seemed to break just a little more at the words he remember from the man. He felt sorry for what had happened at the council with Gregori. He nodded to Dameon. "But... How are you to explain to him? If he does find out about it, even if not from me or Remus?" He asked softly.

Only when he’d reassured himself that his fledgling was really alright did Remus raise his eyes to deal with Dameon. Wrapping his arms reassuringly around Lucas, he pursed his lips. “That’s what I’d also like to know. You can’t exactly explain your crusade against the Council now to Gregori without his knowing that you’re omitting something. And what do you mean, he doesn’t know who I am anymore? Gregori and I met through Aleixo,” he reminded the Ancient.

 

Dameon frowned at Lucas. “I’ll worry about that when the due time comes. What’s the point of troubling him now? Gregori has been carrying that terrible secret around with him for many, many decades and the truth has been hurting him. It was a relief for him to forget and he also wanted it this way. However, in order to fully vanish those memories, it was necessary to take away the memories that were connected to his having had to go to the council in the first place. That included you, Aleixo…and the reason why he left me,” he admitted, looking downwards for a moment. Then, seeming to gather his resolve together, he glanced up again, his eyes hard. “Remus, return to your room. Lucas, come with me,” he commanded, turning around and walking off quite suddenly.

Lucas bit at his lower lip as he listened to the two. Not really sure how Dameon had taken the memories form Gregori. But he understood why the man had done it in the first place. Lowering his gaze for a long moment, only to have his gaze dart up towards the man at being told to follow. He turned his gaze to Remus with a slightly worried look in his eyes. Not exactly sure what Dameon was planning on doing.

 

Lowering his gaze once again to the floor, he sighed softly before pushing himself off. Moving over to Dameon, he stopped in front of the man. His body still tense, as he tried to get some kind of clue as to what this man was going to do. His wings folded neatly behind him. He hadnt wanted to leave his Sire's side, wanted the man to be with him at all times. It wasnt that he didnt trust Dameon... but he still didnt know all that much about him either.

Remus showed his fangs, but had no choice but to follow what Dameon ordered. He knew better than to fight with an Ancient who was surrounded by demons. With a respectful half-bow, Remus walked back towards the house, stopping only to tenderly ruffle Lucas’s blond hair. We’ll be together again soon, my love, his mind touched his fledgling’s. We have the rest of the night and if all else fails, we’ll have our realm. With that, he entered the house and made his way towards the room he had shared with Lucas, casting backward glances all the time towards the cellar.

 

Dameon could sense Lucas’s unease and smiling gently, shook his head. “Lucas, there’s no need to be afraid of me. What you heard from Gregori is something that won’t happen to you. You are far too precious and Remus is too close an ally for me to ever want to harm you. No, what I want is for you to know that while Remus might be your guiding light, I must become your spiritual leader. There is much that Remus doesn’t know about and you need to understand before we undertake any further steps. Come,” he said, waving his hand as he began walking back into his abode. “How much do you know about magic?” he asked, his voice once again taking on the tone of a university lecturer. He made a face at Lucas’s response as they entered his library. “I’d feared as much. But then again, perhaps it’s better this way- you at least don’t know anything false. Here,” he said, patting a bookshelf that reached from the floor all the way to the ceiling five meters higher. “In the time that you are here, you will be required to study these books. No more of this flying nonsense with Remus- it’s time you began to study and prepare yourself, Dragonslayer,” he said sternly.

Lucas raised a brow as he heard Dameon, even tho the man had said that he wouldn't harm him. He didn't feel all that at ease about things. Afterall... He was still quite innocent in dark magic. Even if he had already shown a great deal of control back against enemies that had attacked them. Being asked if he knew anything about magic he shook his head. "R-Remus says I have done things... But, I can not remember doing anything at all of the sort." He said softly as he lowered his gaze. Beginning to wonder if he really was the legend that everyone believed that he was.

 

Lifting his gaze to the books as he was lead into the library only to have his gaze land on Dameon before lowering to the floor. "But..." He said softly. "What if... what if I cant do it?" He said sadly. "Everyone is counting on me, and I do not understand. Why is it that I have to be the Dragonslayer?" He said as he lifted his frightened gaze to the man. "What if I can not save everyone? What if I fail?" He whimpered as tears welled up into his eyes as he, himself began to fall prey to his own fears. His body shaking along with his wings visibly, wrapping his arms tightly around his stomach. He really was to human to be one of them, fear... happiness... joy... despair, is a hard thing for him to break. But here is the question. Did his emotions really have to be broken? Or did they just make him that much stronger and that much more of a deadly weapon?

“My boy, you really must learn to speak louder,” Dameon continued to tick off points that he wasn’t completely content with yet. “Your constant whispering and soft sighs are most un-befitting of the future savior of our race. The worst thing that could possibly happen to you would be that, while you’re casting an important spell, your mutterings and mumblings are interpreted wrong and the spell could backfire, seriously hurting you or your loved one. I suggest you start with the books on the bottom ledge first and then slowly work your way higher up,” he said, turning around and bending over, pulled out two thick books to drop into Lucas’s arms.

 

Seeing Lucas’s tears, Dameon forced himself to bite back his irritation. “Childe, you are the Dragonslyaer. The adventures that you have had since you were turned have been tumultuous, have been unpredictably, have been scary and yet you have at many different points been able to save us from sure peril. You yourself said that Remus claimed you had done things you couldn’t remember having done- that is proof that you indeed are all that we hope you will be. But in one point, Remus is wrong,” he lectured, nodding confidently at the younger vampire. “You are more than a weapon. That is why I wouldn’t waste so much time learning to fight, but in your case would rather concentrate in learning more about magic in general. What sets you apart from our enemies and from us is that you have a heart. You are able to feel emotions that we no longer can and your hum traits and compassion will save you and, hopefully, our race. It’s not important that you understand everything- what you need is to believe in yourself and in your abilities. You have Gregori and me, who will support you all the way, and a maker who loves you and trusts you blindly. You must believe, Lucas. You will find your way and we will be there to support you at all times.” Patting the fledgling’s shoulder, he picked up a fat red book and sat down. “Now, start reading.”

Lucas listened to Dameon as he lowered his gaze to the floor. Yet, still... he had his doubts on what he was saying. How could he be the dragonslayer when he could not even remember using magic before. Being turned towards the books, he let a small groan leave his lips. Even tho he enjoyed reading, being forced to read something like this... and such a thing he didnt even know much about would be difficult for him to even understand. But there is one that would know more than Dameon believed the boy knew about Magic.

 

He was born with the one within him. Almost a demon if you would call it, yet had the heart and compassion to the highest point. A fallen angel of some sort. This being... had knowledge of the race hidden deep within hidden doors and locked chests that he himself kept guarded even from this boy. Only when real trouble reared its ugly head and it threatened the life of the boy, it is only then that he would come out and use the magic of the ancient race to save them.

 

Lucas groaned again as he sat down with the books he had been handed and opened one of them. Beginning to read about the basics of magic. Meditation, energy, Advantages and disadvantages... ect. It still confused him. Not understanding any bit of this information that he was reading.

Dameon frowned when he heard Lucas’s expulsions of breath. Yes, Lucas was exactly like Gregori, his own fledgling, had been when he had begun his classes with Dameon. But magic theory was a basis and it was vital for the young vampire to know. He himself wasn’t quite sure how much Lucas could really be expected to learn in the short time, but something told him that there was far, far more to the pupil than met the eye. He himself had witnesses some of the advanced magic that Lucas had used, magic so sophisticated that it would have taken Dameon a long time to prepare. But Lucas had whispered out words in a language he couldn’t possibly have learned as a human, a language that was no longer spoken, yet which powerful sorcerers knew and used. Sorcerers such as Rioul…Dameon clenched his hands to fists.

 

Remus yawned widely, staring glumly at the wall. He was bored stiff without Lucas and flicking invisible fluff off his shoulder, he fell backwards onto the bed, fuming silently. If at least Gregori would have been up, the two of them could have done something together, but no, he was stuck on his own. Making his lips flap comically as he breathed out, Remus closed his eyes, wishing Lucas would return.

 

Dameon shook his head slightly. A glance out the dark window of his library told him that the new day was on the rise. “Enough for today, Childe,” he told Lucas as he loudly closed his own book and rose. He would have preferred if Lucas had read more, but then again, it was his first time reading such literature and Dameon couldn’t be too harsh. “Off you go- I can smell Remus’s pheromones all the way here,” he said, wrinkling his nose in distaste. He would be returning to an empty bed that night. With a sigh, he nodded. “Go on- off you go. I’ll see you tomorrow night for your next lesson.”

Lucas had read quite a bit, up to halfway into the second book. Yet, still he did not understand a word in the books he was being forced to read. His gaze lifted to Dameon as he heard him. Nodding he put the books down and headed off towards his Sire. Groaning as he rubbed his face, none of this new information made sense to him. It only made him more confused. When it came down to it, he was more of a hands on person than reading instructions from a book.

 

Walking into the room, his gaze lifted to find Remus on the bed. His wings quivered a little behind him as emotions from before began to flood back to him. Could he really be the dragonslayer that everyone proclaimed him to be? Was he finally having doubts that he wasnt as good as people thought he was? A slow tremble ran over his body as he finally colasped onto his knee's in the doorway. Everything was baring down ontop of him to much that he felt as if he were sufficating with the knowledge that one wrong move and he could very well be the one to doom the race. Tears welled up into his eyes as his hands clinched. Why did it fall onto him to save their race?

 

Gregori shifted on the bed, groaning softly as he fought to wake up. His fingers clinching at the pillow that he had managed to curl up to. Half expecting his Master to be there, only to groan with disappointment when the man wasnt.

Dameon blew out all the candles inside the library and nodding as he made the book Lucas had finished reading return to its original place on the lower bookcase. Patting the book he had been refreshing, he glided out and closed the doors to his library, casting an incantation as he did. While the time to sleep now came for him, many of his demons would awaken. And it was vital that none of them ever accidentally wandered into his library to empower themselves with dangerous knowledge. Sighing as he stretched, Dameon returned to his solitary bedroom, as he had been doing in the past several years when he and Gregori had been parted. Smiling slightly as he removed his robe and shirt, leaving only his pants as he slipped into his bed, Dameon thought about that one night when Gregori had slipped upstairs to lie down in his arms…and how things had gone further…

 

Remus had been on the verge of drifting off to sleep when he heard Lucas return…and crumble right there on the floor inside the doorway. “Lucas!” In a flash Remus was by his fledgling’s side, tenderly taking latter’s face in his hands to look into his lover’s eyes. There were fresh tears brimming there and Remus shook his head as he enveloped Lucas in a loving embrace and picking him up, carried him back to their bed. “Lucas, my love,” he said quietly, kissing his fledgling’s shaking lips and then licking the tears that were falling away. “What’s wrong? What happened?” If Dameon had done anything stupid…

Gregori clinched at the pillow he was curled up, a soft whimper leaving his lips. Sitting up on the bed after he pushed himself up. Sleep still fresh on his face, Pushing himself off the bed he was on. He slowly sleepily walked toward he door, opening the door he slowly made his way down the hall. Seeing the sun was already starting to rise, he slowly made it to his Master's room. Grabbing ahold of the door handle and opening the door slowly. Slipping inside, he made is way over to the bed and crawled onto it carefully. Nuzzling up to the man on it with a soft whimper.

 

Lucas lifted his tear filled gaze to his Sire as he was picked up and placed back on the bed. His body trembling tightly as he could feel the weight of their race finally falling so hard onto him that he wasnt able to believe that he could save them. Lowering his gaze to the bed as tears trickled down his face. "Why... Why do I have to be the dragonslayer?" He whimpered softly. "Why do I have to be the one to save us all?" He whimpered as he curled up tightly.

Dameon had been on the verge of letting the sun push him into a deep slumber when his bed tilted marginally to the side. His eyelids felt far too heavy to bear, but he forced them open, nevertheless. And there, cuddling up to him and using Dameon’s arms with confidence to wrap them around him, was his fledgling. “Gregori,” Dameon murmured, his voice sounding drunken from sleep. Already he could feel his body beginning to grow heavier as the sun rose- there was no way he could use this opportunity yet. “Tomorrow night…” he whispered as his arms closed around Gregori’s body and he fell asleep.

 

Remus sent a glare in the direction in which he was sure that Dameon slept. What had the Ancient been doing to his poor fledgling? Nothing good, it appeared. Brushing Lucas’s blond hair away from his face, Remus nuzzled his nose tenderly against Lucas’s button one. “Lucas, you ARE the dragonslayer. And the task has fallen to you because your heart and your soul are pure. You’re so special and unique- this task, although it’s difficult, has been given to you because you are the only one worthy of it. Even if I hadn’t been the one to have found you, one of our kind would have. You are so extraordinary and special to us, Lucas- you are a gift,” he murmured, tilting backwards as the sun began to go up.

Gregori nodded as he heard the whispered words reach his ears. Curling up to his Master, he slowly let his eyes slide close. Relaxing in his Master's embrace. A soft childlike smile on his face as he began to fall into the sleep of their kind.

 

Lucas groaned as his tear filled gaze was lifted to his Sire, his body trembling. Hearing him, he shook his head as his gaze lowered. "But... What if I cant do it?" He whimpered. "What if I fail? What if I can not save us?" His fingers clinched tightly into small fists. It had to been the sleep that was having him talk such nonsense. He wasnt thinking clearly, and with this new information about magic only confused him even more. To the point that he began to question his own abilities on such things. "What if I can not save yo..." He groaned as the sun had gotten to high for him to fight against it. Falling into his Sire's arm, out cold. His wings drooping limply behind him, as tears that had brimmed his eyes trickled down his face.

Remus had only just been able to catch Lucas properly before the sun’s power had become too great and he himself had fallen into a restless slumber. Unprepared as he had been, and thanks to Dameon having drastically shortened his time with Lucas, Remus hadn’t been able to prepare his mind for yet another out of body experience and he also hadn’t been able to ask Lucas what exactly he needed to do in order to be able to enter their special mind realm again. And since he had fallen asleep feeling anxious and worried with regards his fledgling, when the sun finally went down after a long day, Remus awoke again, instantly turning to Lucas, preoccupied. Aside from stray tear streaks on his cheeks, nothing remained of Lucas’s discomfort. Standing up and easily finding the blood surrogates that Dameon kept for them, Remus impatiently took his fill and returning to his and Lucas’s bed, took his fledgling back into his arms to nuzzle and tenderly kiss Lucas awake. He knew that the conversation that had been disturbed the day before had been important and he wanted to finish it properly.

 

Dameon awoke long before Remus did and getting up, he caressed Gregori’s sleeping face. Gliding out soundlessly, he summoned the humans drugged he kept near him for when he needed blood. Drinking from them leisurely, he sent them away, at the same time summoning one of his household demons. “Melchor, I want you to go to the Vampire Council and do the following,” he commanded, lowering his voice to speak in the Darke Tongue of Demons. Dismissing his servant, Dameon was finally free to concentrate on his fledgling. Opening the door to his bedroom, he went inside, locked it and, with tingling fingers, reached out for his fledgling. “Gregori…”

Lucas groaned softly as he was pulled into arms. Squirming a little before his eyes fluttered open. He groaned softly as he closed his eyes, and nuzzled at his Sire weakly. "So.... sleepy..." He groaned softly. Relaxing against Remus as he slowly began to slip back into his sleep.

 

Gregori groaned as he heard his Master, the touch had his sleepy eyes fluttering open. His fingers clinching into the bed gently as he rubbed his eyes with his free hand, trying to wake up with a soft whimper leaving his lips. "M-Master... Did you have to wake me so early?" He pouted as he lifted his half lidded eyes gazing up at him.

Remus, who had been expecting Lucas to wake up bawling his head off again and mumbling inconsistent things once more, was taken aback when he saw a perfectly calm and sleepy Lucas. A calm and sleepy Lucas who didn’t seem to feel hungry at all. With a sigh, but deciding this was better than a frightened Lucas, Remus lay back down beside his fledgling and hugging him, closed his eyes again.

 

Dameon smiled softly, his lips becoming a straight line again when he saw the slight reproach inside his fledgling’s eyes. Well, two could play this game. “I thought you might be hungry, but if that isn’t the case, then you can go back to sleep,” he responded, casually throwing off his garment to remain standing in his sleeping pants. His strong chest shone in the light of the many candles inside the room as he stretched. “I guess I’m going to have to go and take a bath all by myself then...”

Lucas murmured in his sleep as he curled up to his Sire. Fingers clinching lightly in his shirt as if he was afraid Remus would be taken from him. He was content with just going back to sleep, as he didnt want to have to get up only to study more on the dark arts. Why did he have to learn them in the first place? Its not like he was the one casting spells anyways. Something deeper within himself casted those spell, and knows much more than Dameon is giving him credit for.

 

Gregori groaned after hearing his Master, sitting up he sent a somewhat playful glare at the man. Teasing him before he is fully awake was never a good thing. He rubbed his eyes once again as he fought to wake up. "Give me a minute... You know I have a hard time waking up, Master..." He whimpered softly. Sliding himself off the bed only to reach back to steady him. That was when it hit him, he was weak and even now his hunger was starting to be known to himself. "Master..." He whimpered as his silver gaze lifted up to the man, a slight red tinged to them.
