Lucas stilled at the words from the Lycan. A frown on his lips as he narrowed his gaze. "Return to your superiors and tell them this... I'd rather die a painful death by thousands of demons" His voice was cold, much unlike his own. Closing his icy cold eyes as if the lycan was not a threat to him at that moment. His wings quivering behind him harshly for a moment before a hard gush of wind surrounded himself and his Maker. Sending himself through his master right at the bond between Alexio and Remus. Severing the strand to watch it shrivel up and die.

 

It had felt like hours while he worked to cut the bond. Immerging from going under for so long, blood dripped from his mouth as he coughed. A long painful groan leaving his lips as he fell to his knee's onto the ground. His weakened pitch black gaze lifting to his Maker.

 

Dameon narrowed his eyes at the Lycan, readying himself just in case he was going to have to defend them.

Remus shuddered, feeling as if fire had wrapped itself aound his body. In a way, Lucas had disappeared, but remained beside him. A strong wind began to blow and swirl around him, yet for an instance Remus believed he managed to see the thick, disgusting coils that reached out from the earth and had wrapped themselves around him. It was painful, it was uncomfortable, but when the wind disappeared and Lucas appeared beside him, bleeding and weak, the compulsion to dig himself intothe earth had disappeared: Remus was finally free.

 

“Lucas!” he breathed, taking a hold of Lucas and sitting down cross-legged, Remus placed Lucas gently into his lap and raising Lucas’s head to his neck, ripped at his skin to make his own blood flow. “Drink- you need to be stronger.” He turned towards Dameon and Gregori, sending them a message of help: neither he nor Lucas couldbe of ny help if the Lycan attacked them or thugs like him happened to appear righ then…

Lucas groaned weakly as he was pulled into his Maker's lap. His head being placed against the neck and the gash being placed to allow bloodflow. The sight and smell of blood causing his cravings to go into overdrive. Latching himself onto the gash as he drank weakly at first. Gulping down mouthfuls of blood greedily the more his strength returned.

 

Dameon flinched a little for the first time in such a while. He knew the risks at that moment. His gaze didn't flicker from the Lycan in front of them. "It would be in your best interest to leave." He said to the fowl creature. His body tensing a moment as if ready to fight the lycan off himself if need be.

It had been best that Lucas hadn’t drunk from him while he had still been under the influence from his former maker. As Remus felt his blood flowing out, at the same time sensing that his fledgling was growing steadily stronger, he knew that whatever evil power had taken a hold of him out have inadvertedly weakened and poisoned Lucas. As usual, his fledgling had known what had been best for him. Running his fingers through his blond hair, Remus kissed the top of his head as best he could. “Thank you, my love. You saved me yet again,” he said, hugging his lover tenderly.

 

The tense moment increased and Gregori clenched his fists, readying himself to launch himself between Dameon and the lycan if necessary. His stomach coiled and he prepared himself for what was likely to be his last jump, but thankfully the lycan took a step back. Beside him, Dameon remained tense. “Very well. I see you don’t want to heed my warnings,” the messenger commented, smiling evilly again. “Well then, I hope you can outrun my race,” he smirked, jumping into the air and moving away from them at a high speed, no doubt about to call for backup.

 

They didn’t have much time.

Lucas took only what he needed before he swept his tongue over the wound and sealed it up. A soft groan leaving himself as his gaze moved over to Dameon. He knew they would have to move fast to stay out of the reach of the Lycans. This was starting to become irritating to him. Moving his gaze to his Maker, he nuzzled at him gently.

 

Dameon didn't move for a long moment, only straightened up to watch the Lycan run off like a frightened pup. Served the damn creature right. They use to own those fowl creatures... Use to have them whimpering at their feet. Frowning at the thought, no... that was the old days. They would never come to terms. "Its time to go..." He said finally after a long moment.

Remus nuzzled Lucas’s nose back. “Lucas, I’m so glad that you’re alright again. Thank you again. We need to get out of here,” he knew, standing up and pulling Lucas along with him. Leaving his arms around his lover, he stepped over to Dameon and Gregori. “We have to leave. And we can’t go to any of the houses that I have around the wordl- Aleixo knew all of them and has no doubt already told the lycans about them. We need a place that is off ther radar if we want to survive until sunset.”

 

Dameon nodde,d his mind racing fast. “I have one or two options,” he concluded, turning to his fledgling. “Gregori, we need to be overly careful when we make the jump. I need you to keep your eyes peeled for trouble at all times. I will be in the lead, Lucas right behind me, and you and Remus will bring up the rear. Ready?” he asked with a frown, bending his knees. When Remus and Gregori nodded, he leapt.

Sorry for the wait. Dealing with kidney stones, but I am back now.)

 

Lucas smiled hearing his Maker. "You don't need to worry so much about me, You will get wrinkles." he teased a moment. Hearing that they needed to move fast caused a sigh to leave him before being pulled up. Nodding after a long moment. He knew they needed to leave this place, but where would they go? He was sure that everywhere Remus' other places would be known to Alexio.

 

Gregori lifted his gaze hearing his Master. Nodding as he understood the danger they were in. Kneeling down to the ground preparing himself to make the jump after Lucas.

 

Lucas groaned as he hadn't perfected his flying just yet. Not from a great height. His gaze turned to his Maker a moment before he took off behind Dameon.

 

Gregori jumped at the same time as Remus. Keeping his eyes open for anything that may want to tangle with them. But at the moment, everything seemed... quiet. A bit to quiet to his liking.

I hope you're feeling better)

 

I’ll get wrinkles…as if. But Remus had to smile despite the situation. Glad that Lucas was a little further ahead, he began to scan the night around him on the side that Gregori wasn’t paying attention to. Things seemed to be calm and Remus began to relax and feel good about himself: Lucas had been fed, he had finally and successfully been freed from Aleixo and even though, he realized, right then he was homeless, at least the four of them were together and he knew that he could trust Dameon and Gregori to help him defend Lucas.

 

The night air was getting colder and colder. Further ahead, Remus saw Lucas stretch his wings further out, admiring the symmetry. He really did look like an angel with the feathers and blond hair-

 

Remus, he suddenly heard Gregori’s anxious voice inside his head. I think it’s too quiet here. I think we’re in danger.

 

The supposed safety he had believed them all to be in suddenly did feel fake. Nodding at Gregori when he felt the first disturbances coming from the left. The lycan which had approached them had probably kept his guard dogs nearby and they were probably only the first of a series of attacks. Remus guessed that it would be pointless to continue on to the destination that Dameon had in store for them: the moment they weren’t airborne anymore, they would be easy bait. I’m going to see if I can help you gain some time. Carry on and protect Lucas! Remus commanded Gregori, suddenly veering to the left and baring his teeth.

Lucas followed after Dameon, his wings outstretched behind him. But it was the sense of something near them that caused him to fall back a little. Looking to see his Maker flying off in another direction, his gaze turned fearful. -No... Remus!- he whimpered into his Makers mind. His hands clinched tightly as he turned his gaze to Dameon for a short moment. He could not let his Maker get himself into trouble.

 

Dameon frowned as he knew what Remus was doing. "He will be fine... Your Sire is stronger than you think he is. Come on, we can not wait any time as he is giving us a head start." He said. Not looking at either his Childe or Lucas. Taking off quickly towards the area they were headed to. Once they landed, he was going to make sure that Remus made it back to the dragonslayer safely. And to keep the boy out of harms way.

 

Gregori clinched his teeth at the thought. Either Remus was a fool... or it was something else that made the man take off that way. His gaze scanned the area as he kept the rear safe for them.

Ignoring Lucas’s cry, Remus sent him an enervated “keep moving!”, not breaking off his attack. He only hoped that Dameon would force his fledgling to fly onewards. The lycans ahead had already taken notice of him and while two remained fixed on him, one veered off to the side. A rush of wind told him that Dameon had sent a psychic attack towards the third lycan and, sure enough, the lycan lez out a shriek of pain, plummeting to earth.

 

Mouth opening instances before the attack, Remus threw himself at the middle lycan, bearing his fangs deeply into the other creature’s throat. Turning his opponent to the side and thus blocking the fierce punch that had been aimed directly at his stomach, Remus fed rapidly on the lycan in his arms. His enemy gurgled and screamed out in pain as his backbone was broken. Remus was having trouble not vomiting on the alien blood, but he gulped it down anyway, knowing that for an instance, he could use the lycan’s powers as his. Tossing the useless morsel aside, he crossed his arms over, blocking the next attack by the second lycan.

 

The battle between him and the lycan couldn’t be seen by human eyes. More than a blur was simply indiscernible. With both the lycan and Remus punching, kicking, biting, spitting, ripping and twisting because their lives depended on it, the battle eventually broke up with the mortally wounded lycan falling like a rock to the ocean far, far below. Remus was left suspended in midair, bleeding profusely from a horrid chest slash, an ugly bite on his left shoulder and his clothes torn. He felt nauseous and his concentration slipped a moment, making him fall several meters, but then he got a grip over himself again.

 

Lucas. Where was Lucas? Had he, Gregori and Dameon already made it to safety? Remus couldn’t sense his fledgling yet and closing his eyes, sank slowly back down to earth, needing a moment to catch his breath.

Dameon narrowed his gaze as he searched the sky, keeping his mind open only so much as he didn't wish for another attack so soon.

 

Lucas on the other hand was already trying to double back, the pain he felt from his Sire caused his heart to reach out for the man. Whimpers left him as Dameon had grabbed ahold of him and kept him from taking off. "Ne! Let go... I have to..." He hissed the words out.

 

Dameon narrowed his eyes as his gaze traveled to the child in his hold. "No... You can not go out there and get yourself killed." He hissed back. Moving his gaze to Gregori, wishing he wasn't going to ask his own Childe to do this. But he didn't have much of a choice right now. "Bring him back to us... I will keep him from taking off."

 

Gregori nodded and took off to find Remus.

 

Lucas growled and hissed as he tried to tare himself away from Dameon who was having to use quite a bit of strength to keep the boy from going off. "N-no! I have to!" He growled at Dameon.

[Gatichan]

Stopping his fall before his feet touched the cold ocean waves, Remus groaned, holding onto his side. That last attack had caused him to lose a lot of blood. If only he could get a feel for where exactly his fledgling had gone, he could at least send a message to Lucas to let him know that he was alright. But when he tried to send his mind out, Remus realized that his blood loss was more than he’d believed it to be: try as he might, he simply couldn’t sense Lucas at all. And it was taking a lot more strength than it should to keep him afloat in the sky.

 

“Remus!” His head flew around and upwards, baring his teeth as he prepared to defend himself- although, how that was supposed to happen in the miserable state he was in, he had no idea- when he saw that it was Gregori. His shoulders slouched in relief and he raised his arms. Gregori caught him and pulled him back higher into the night. “You idiot. You could have been wounded even worse- do you have the least idea how mental Lucas is right ow because of you?” Gregori snappedat him, but his eyes betrayed how alarmed and worried he actually was.

 

Remus waved his right hand limply. “I had to do that. Lucas needs to be protected at all costs. Tell me he’s okay.”

 

“He is. Of course he’s okay. Now stop talking and lean on me- I’ve got to take you to him and Dameon before our tracks get picked up or we receive new company,” he said between clenched teeth. Grabbing a better hold on Remus after he’d thrown latter’s left arm around his neck, Greggori turned them around and flew forward fast, following his sire’s calls.

Lucas was fighting against Dameon's grip as he tried to go after his Sire. Growls and whimpers leaving him in the process.

 

Dameon narrowed his eyes as his grip tightened around the boy. If Remus and Gregori didn't show up soon, he was going to have to use his own powers against the boy. No doubtedly Remus would not be happy about that. Knowing that his powers being used on one that was not of his own blood was not a necessarily pleasant feeling. "Stop!" He growled deeply towards he boy.

 

Lucas hissed at the tone that was being used against him. "I can not just sit here and not help him!" He growled back. "He is hurt, And he needs my help."

The faster Gregori flew, the weaker Remus became. He didn’t know where, but he was somehow losing blood still. Sending out his mind to try and find the wound to close it, he stopped in mid-search when finally, agonizingly late, he picked up Lucas’s scent. Lucas! he cried out, deep relief and gratitude filling him. So Dameon had kept his promise and protected his fledgling.

 

“Hang on- we’re almost there,” Gregori reassured him, sending his Sire a warning to tell him that Remus had bitten one of the lycan guards that had attacked them. It was likely that he had poison in his body which was preventing his healing powers from taking over. Ire flared up for an instance before Gregori began the descent with Remus. They were bound to lose valuable moments to tend to Remus and right then time wasn’t exactly on their side. On the other hand, what would have happened if Remus hadn’t stayed back to let them escape? With a whoosh, he and Remus more stumbled than landed and Gregori had to grip onto Remus’s arms tightly. “Some help here?”

Lucas growled and bit at Dameon once he seen his Sire. Being dropped from the grip long enough to scramble forward only to be grabbed once again and a dangerous hiss entering his ears. "LET GO!" He growled and hissed at Dameon.

 

Dameon clinched his teeth tightly as he once again grabbed the boy after being bitten. This boy honestly was a troublemaker. Doing the only thing he could at that moment, he made the boy fall into a deep and unwanted sleep. Feeling the form in his arms fall limp with an angry groan. He shook his head as he set the boy down gently and moved towards Remus. His gaze scanning the wound. "You fool...." He murmured. "You know what happens if you are bitten by them." It wasn't that he couldn't just take the poison out of the man. It was the fact that if Lucas would of tried, it would more than likely kill him.

 

"Hold on a minute..." He said as he closed his eyes. Having to do this in such a rush wasn't a good thing, but he didn't have time for luxuries. Besides, he was the one that taught his Childe how to heal in the first place. So his skills were up for the task. Sending himself in, becoming the healing light and pushing out the poison that threatened Remus' life. Once he was sure all of it had been sent out of the man, he emerged. Stumbling back a moment before finding his feeting.

Remus hissed evilly when he saw Lucas crumble and fall to the ground in Dameon’s arms. “No, what have you-?!” he began to protest, but then winced, his face contorted in pain as the poison spread further through his body. “Hold still,” Gregori reprimanded him, steadying him as Dameon approached him to remove the poison. “This is going to hurt, but it’ll be over quickly if you don’t fight against it.” That was easier said than done, because due to their restricted time, Dameon wasn’t exactly gentle and it took all of Remus’s willpower not to moan out or shout when the poison was sucked out in a rush.

 

Falling to his knees when Dameon reappeared and fell back against Gregori, who had been prepared and embraced him, kissing his cheek and whispering tenderly into his ear, Remus immediately knew that the extraction had been successful. The cloud that had been inside his head, filling it with something fog-like, the drowsiness and, above all, the pain had disappeared. His senses returned, heightened, and when he tried to employ his powers to heal himself, it worked. Standing up hurriedly, Remus swept Lucas up into his arms, kissing his lover tenderly on the forehead and so, waking him. “Lucas, it’s alright. Everything’s alright- I’m here again. And I promise you that I won’t you leave you again,” he murmured, cuddling Lucas against his chest.

 

Turning around, he looked straight at Dameon. “Thank you. Where should we go now? All the retreats that I know have been compromised due to Aleixo’s treachery. Do you have any idea?”

Lucas whimpered softly as he was awoken out of the unwanted sleep he had been placed under. His bright eyes fluttered open to meet with his Maker's. He curled up to the man, nuzzling him gently after the promise had been made to him.

 

Dameon nodded hearing his childe. His gaze moving only when he heard Remus ask where to go. He paused a long moment as he let various places become known to him. But only one stood out as one of the safest. "We will go to the very place that no one can reach unless they know how to enter it." He nodded to his Childe before the boy even named the place. It had been Gregori's home when he was made and still learning. "We will be in need to hurry, but it is not to far from this place.

 

Gregori raised a brow hearing his Master. Confused as to why Dameon was going to take them there, that was until he realized what his Master had done to the place. It was protected by something much worse than lycans. Nodding before he took off after all of them.

Remus hugged Lucas clser still. Where exactly was Dameon planning on leading him and his fledgling? He had never visted the Ancient’s place before and also didn’t like the expression that passed over Gregori’s face. Something told him that what they were about to see wouldn’t exactly help to calmtheir nerves. “Stay close to me, Lucas,” he murmured into his fledgling’s ear before he jumped into the air, following Dameon.

 

Gregori was the last in line and he remained worried. It had been a while since he’d been to his “birthplace”, but his final memories of that place weren’t very nice. But scan his brain as much as he did, no other place came to mind where they could have gone instead. Scanning the area around him and finding no one, he felt the back of his neck prickling as Dameon began the descent towards their new hideaway.

Dameon landed a good few feet from the gates of his place, holding out a hand to make the others stay back. He needed to alert the wolves that he had kept here near the house and the other creatures that guarded the ground of the visitors. Scanning the grounds between the bars of the gate a moment before waving his hand over the lock. The lock fell away from the bars and the gate opened on its own. Speaking in language way to fast for any of them to understand. But it wasn't vampyric language that he used. It was demonic.

 

Wolves came into view first followed by dark looking creatures. Glistening eyes looking at everyone and landing on the boy for a long moment.

 

Dameon nodded to a few silent messages he received from a few of them before the creatures went off to their posts. A few of the wolves however had been Gregori's. He had kept them around, not able to bring himself to push them off his land. One of them had been a small pup when Gregori had been made, the two of them had been best friends while his childe had been there. The wolf almost wondered if Gregori would remember him. Maybe at a later time he would see his old friend, but for now he had a job.

 

Gregori looked to his Master, nodding once everything was made clear for the creatures of the ground. But stilling behind his Master at the wolves that had appeared. "Y-You never... got rid of them?" He asked almost confused and breathless for a moment. It ment something to him to know that his Sire had held onto something of his for so long.

 

Lucas' wings quivered behind him as tried to dig himself deeper against his Sire, the creatures near them made him nervous. And he had a right to be. Those demons could harm him, and that would not be a good thing. Demon couldn't hurt vampires all that badly, but Lucas... He wasn't just a vampire. That human heart could be hurt easily if not cared for.

Remus sure didn’t like the aspect of the venue he had brough Lucas to. Tightening his hold on his lover as Dameon held up a hand, warning him to stay higher up, Remus’s eyes wandered over the perimeter of the rocky ground. Every single dead cell within him warned him to back away, to leave that place immediately, and yet still, there was no other place on earth that he could think of to take Lucas to. He was, whether he liked it or not, dependent of Dameon. When he heard the language that the Ancient spoke, Remus couldn’t understand it, but chills trickled down his spine: that didn’t sound…right. Not at all. And when he delicately sniffed the air, he believed he could smell…wolves? He bared his teeth, growling quietly.

 

Sure enough, wolves eventually emerged from the shadows, but they weren’t the beings that were worrying Remus. No, the darker creatures that hovered in the shadows, their eyes fixed on Lucas- they were the ones he didn’t want to let come any nearer.”Gregori, what the hell are they?” he hissed lowly under his breath to his friend. “They come exactly from there,” Gregori whispered back, not sounding too well at ease, either.

 

It wasn’t without enormous relief that Remus saw the hideous, unholy creatures turning around and retreating. When Lucas shifted in his arms, Remus realized that he’d been holding onto his fledgling too tightly and hastily loosened his grip. “Sorry,” he apologized, but he’d never, in all his years, come across demons. And hoped he wouldn’t again all too soon. The wolves weren’t exactly that welcome to him either, since they reminded him too much of lycans, but well, they were certainly the lesser of the two evils.

 

Shooting Gregori an annoyed frown at his friend’s stupidly emotional response at seeing a bunch of stupid old wolves, Remus looked down at his lover worriedly when Lucas’s wings quivered. The fear that he saw on his fledgling’s face spoke volumes and his growling intensified as he once again tightened his arms around him. Dameon turned around just then and Remus glared at him. “If you expect us to follow you into that piece of hell, then you’d better guarantee right now, right here, that those creatures won’t try to attack Lucas. They are evil and I mistrust them. There is no way I’ll step into our hiding place if you cannot guarantee for his safety. Lucas has already been harmed by you tonight and he doesn’t need more trauma.

 

Tell me right now that you can swear that Lucas will remain unharmed. I don’t know how high my chances are out here by myself, but I’d rather risk the odds than endanger Lucas. You know how sensitive he is and right now, I’m not at my strongest.” “Remus, do you seriously-?” “Shut up, Gregori,” Remus shunned him, returning to fixedly stare at a silent Dameon. “You would do the same if you were in my position. Give me your word now, Dameon, otherwise our unity ends right here.”

Dameon's gaze turned to Remus at the tone the other was using with him. This was his home afterall, it was foolish of Remus to believe his home was unsafe for the boy. Lowering his gaze to Lucas for a short moment before turning towards the gate. "Those demons are bound to me, they can not go against my command. They will not harm Lucas nor any of us, they are to protect us against anything that tries to enter this place unwanted." He said softly. "Now... stop this foolishness, I told you this place is protected. Weither you like it or not. This is the only place I am aware of that will keep those lycans off of us." He said as he began to walk up to his home.

 

Gregori lowered his gaze hearing his Master. Biting at his lower lip for a moment as he let his gaze move up to the house. Following after Remus and Lucas as they made their way up to the home. It had been to long since he had been here last. Memories clouded his mind, as if he were walking right back into the past. His gaze turned into confusion and he began to look as if he were so long ago. A fledgling... lost and hungry. Once being let inside, he turned and lifted his gaze to his Master. As if seeking the reassurance from him.

 

Lucas let his gaze move around the place once they were inside. Feeling a little better than outside. Inside seemed calm, not even the fear of those creatures that were guarding the place showed. Tugging lightly at Remus' shirt before looking up at him. He was tired, and he wanted to just curl up with his Sire. For once not feeling his life being threatened.

Remus was relieved that Dameon had said the words out loud mostly for Lucas’s benefit. And for his: the last thing he wanted was to wake up and find a demon calmly devouring his fledgling. Still, the place gave him the creeps and he wanted to get away from it as quickly as was possible: anything that wouldn’t prolong the stay was welcome. Taking in a deep breath, he stepped over the threshold, trying to fight back the strong impulses within him that were warning him to turn around immediately. This was for Lucas, anyway. It was the only place on earth left for the two of them to hide away at and by reminding himself that over and over again, repeating it like a mantra inside his head, Remus stepped into the house.

 

Dameon naturally felt Gregori’s gaze and turning around to him, sent his fledgling one of his uncharacteristic smiles. “It’s alright, Gregori,” he murmured as he approached former. Having his fledgling back by his side inside their old house had been a dream to Dameon and it just felt so right to have Gregori, the man he sofiercely loved, by his side again. Although he found it difficult to understand the total abhorrence he saw mirrored in Remus’s face, Dameon understood that his house wasn’t the most welcoming. But that was the way it was meant to be- unwanted guests were to be dissuaded against remaining there for too long. Tracing Gregori’s right cheek with the back of his hand, Dameon nodded once. “Would you like to sleep inside your old quarters?” he asked, leaving it up to his fledgling to decide whether he wanted Dameon to sleep inside with him as well or not.

 

When Lucas silently tugged at his torn shirt, Remus looked down. It was becoming easier and easier to understand what his fledgling needed and he kissed Lucas’s forehead. Remus also wanted some privacy for the two of them to fully reassure himself that Lucas was unharmed. “Dameon,” he said, turning around to the Ancient. “Where could Lucas and I rest? We’re both exhausted. And about tomorrow: where can we…I…feed?” he asked, not at all looking forward to leaving the hideout and then returning to face those demons by himself.

Dameon let his gaze move from his childe at the words from Remus. Nodding a moment after he let the words register into his mind. "There are guest rooms upstairs that should suit both of your needs. As for feeding, I will have some reserves coming up by the time we awake. If you can hold out that long. If not... there are some stored blood in the kitchen. I know it is not the best tasting way, but it is ment for emergencies. And in this case... it is needed." He said softly. "There is a pool just down the hall if you wish to bathe or swim whichever you wish to use it as. Turning back to his Childe, he paused a moment. "I just ask that you and your childe do not venture towards the basement." He gave no explanation as to why, but he had reasons why he never let anyone down there unless need be.

 

Gregori lifted his gaze to his Master at the words. Taken a back for a moment at the choice he was being given. Lowering his gaze for a moment. "Master..." He whispered softly. "Can I not sleep with you?" He asked softly as his longing gaze lifted to his Master, stepping forward to the man.

 

Lucas nuzzled weakly at his Sire, closing his eyes for a short moment as he rested in his arms. His fingers clinched in the ruined fabric of his Sire's shirt, not wishing to let go of the man. Not wanting to be left alone in such a place that he was not use to.

Immediately Remus’s mouth twisted in digusts. Blood conserves? It didn’t get any more tasteless than that. But before he was asked to accept demon blood or feed off wolves – the lycan blood he had tasted that night had been bad enough to last him half a century – it was certainly the better alternative. So, so- the basement was off limits. Remus wasn’t one to easily accept restrictions and a part of him badly wanted to go down and investigate, but not right then. And not when Lucas was in his arms and needed to rest. Looking at his fledgling when Lucas tightened his grip on his shirt. “It’s okay, Lucas,” he replied, turning around and walking towards the stairs. “I’m going to bathe you and then we’re going to sleep,” he told him, walkin up the stairs.

 

The corridor was dark and smelled musty, with a whiff of wolf, but Remus didn’t let that bother him. Pushing open a door, he found the large bathroom and letting himself in, closed and locked the door behind him. He didn’t want anyone to interrupt him and Lucas right then. Setting his fledgling down on the edge of the pool, Remus shred the remnants of his clothes and then dived into the heated bath, groaning out under the water as the warmth engulfed and relaxed him. He hadn’t really realized he had been so tense until then. Surfacing, he tossed his long silver hair before running his hand through it. His eyelids felt heavy with fatigue, but he tenderly cupped Lucas’s face and kissed him. “I know you must be sleepy, but hold out a moment longer, Lucas. I’m going to undress you and then bathe you, okay?” he said, reaching for Lucas’s shirt.

 

Dameon took in a slightly shaky breath as Remus and Lucas vanished upstairs and he heard the gentle longing in his fledgling’s voice. Waiting until he properly heard the door upstairs to the pool closing, he wrapped his arms around Gregori and pulled him against his chest. “I want nothing less,” he breathed out against his childe’s face before tilting his head to the side ha dplanting a long, meaningful kiss on Gregori’s lips. This time, no one would disturb them- he would personally see to that.

Lucas shifted a little when he was set down finally after being held for so long. His exhausted gaze watched Remus in what seemed like a fog. His gaze not missing anything as his Maker stripped himself and dived into the pool. A weak smile on his face for a short moment before Remus was in front of him. Nodding as he heard the man, being helped out of his clothes. Once out of his clothes, he slid off the side of the pool and into the water slowly. A soft sigh escaped him as he settled down into the warm water, closing his eyes for a short moment. It felt like forever to him, since the last time him and his maker had some time together. But he wasn't sure just how long he would be able to stay awake. His bright gaze lifted to Remus slowly. "I love you..." He whispered softly.

 

Being pulled against his Master's chest, he lifted his gaze up to him. Having the breathed words reached his ears made him smile. Silver eyes closed for a long moment as he was kissed, trying to deepen the kiss as he was beginning to feel his old ways bubble up within himself. He longed for his Master, and he was almost certain it showed. Slender fingers curled their way into Dameon's shirt with a soft whimper leaving him. He wanted to feel this man once again... Just like back then. The care, the sternness... The fierceness. "Master.... Please...." He whimpered. "I want you, Just like it was before I was pushed away."
