Forbidden Darkness (Sosuke0549)

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus's gaze softened.

"Forgive me, He is confused... and to me it seems he is not ready to let himself become what his destiny has claimed him to be." I only wished to give him a few words to consider."[/Quote]

"I see..."

He wondered how his "old friend" discovered he had the Dragon slayer as a underling.

Dameon... I fear your wisdom will not reach him. For he doesn't even listen to me.

He spoke in the others mind. Knowing Nicholi wouldn't hear.

What would you know? No one will ever know how I feel about this!" [/Quote]

His youngling cried out.

"Watch your tongue Nicholi"

He warned unfazed by the youngling's little tantrum. Seeing his flames once again As he tried to engulf himself and his body trembled on its own. Mangus sighed looking at Dameon.

He is quite the bond fire..

He watched as the other vampire tried to handle his underling. Meanwhile he stood there doing nothing.

[Nicholi]

Dameon raised a brow as he heard the other speaking to him within his own mind. I see... Seeing the opportunity that Magnus was giving him to try his hand at what was going on with the youngling. He bowed his head slightly before kneeling before the boy, he knew the dangers of such powers without control. Yet... he never was a careful man when it came down to such things. However, he himself, had powers similar to the boy's and it could counteract just what this boy was doing. His own hand reached out just before the flames that the boy had created around himself. A blue flame had been created around his own hand, a healing flame. He reached into the fire to gently grab ahold of Nicholi's chin. "Now... I want you to stop this foolishness, You need to understand that neither me... nor Magnus is trying to harm you." His voice took on a gentle tone to it for the first time since he had arrived here. "Please... do not force me to use my own gifts against you." He whispered.

 

Nicholi's gaze flickered as he seen the blue flames and the hand that lifted his chin up. After a long moment, the flames flickered out from around him and his chin was finally let go.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus watched the scene. When Dameon calmed his youngling He crossed His arms,

Thank you...

Magnus looked at Nicholi closely.

"Nicholi, Dameon. Please come inside. The sun will be rising soon."

He opened the door, allowing them to go first.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi stood from his spot once he heard his Sire. Walking back into the house, his gaze however, cast down to the floor. Still feeling as if these two men were doing nothing to help him. Besides... it wasn't his fault that his gifts were tied to tightly to his emotions.

 

Dameon nodded when he heard Magnus, following after Nicholi but keeping his distance from the boy. Instead, he was watching him. As if trying to read the boy's emotions and what would trigger the gifts as it had before. He will not be easy to teach... Magnus. You know how his emotions hinder his learning ability, I gather you have learned that by now. He whispered into the others mind.

[Sosuke0549]

I know. He's a challenge. I was going to try and teach him How to block out his emotions But... I can't teach a student that doesn't want to learn.

He went inside to the living room and sat down on the couch.

" Nicholi. Please have a seat. "

He looked at Dameon.

There is no getting threw to him. He's quite stubborn.

He sighed. Observing his youngling closely.

[Nicholi]

Dameon raised a thin brow as he followed them both into the living room. The boy seemed to much in thought, as if the boy pretty much kept everything to himself and let it fester like a wound. The words that entered his mind however had his gaze lowered to the floor for a short moment. And you still don't know why he is doing that in the first place? He asked Magnus. Think about it, he was pushed away from his own Sire. Forced to live on his own without the knowledge of his kind. He is scared Magnus. Maybe he just needs to be shown that there are people out there that do care for his well being, and not look at him as being the DragonSlayer. Most of our kind has always looked at the DragonSlayer as our savior and not the of the very beings they are... they are beings themselves, their emotions are tied closer to their gifts far more than a normal vampire. He needs to be shown that he too is loved and cared for... And by the look on your face at this very moment, it looks as if you have done almost none of the sort since you have found him. He murmured into the man's mind.

 

Nicholi had the feeling they were talking about him, which didn't surprise him in the least bit. He was always talked about, being pushed away, pushed down, kicked, spat upon as if he were nothing but a pile of rags. Even when he was human... he had been treated horribly since his parents had passed away.

[Sosuke0549]

I understand that Dameon. And I have. I told him that I'd protect him. That he could talk to me, trust me. That I would be there for him. Every time I try to comfort him, He gives me a cold shoulder. I've tried to help him control his gifts...I don't think there's anything I can say or do that will make him believe me.

He said looking at the other before he turned to his youngling.

" Nicholi... I'm going to ask you a few questions. And all I want you to say is yes..or no."

He waited for a response before he asked his questions.

"One...Do think I'd ever harm you?"

"Two... Are you afraid of me?"

"Three... Do hate me?"

"Four... do you understand that I and Dameon would never harm you, that we want to help you"

"And Five... Do you trust me"

He wanted to hear the boys answers. He needed to know.

[Nicholi]

Dameon frowned as he heard Magnus, It seemed the man had done everything but what he had suggested the man to do. Sighing softly as he ran a hand over his face lightly. You have to show him that you can love him... He is in an unstable state right now. He needs to feel as if he is loved, and I am not talking about being protected or helping him control his gifts.

 

Nicholi closed his eyes as he heard Magnus. Nodding after a short moment.

"No."

"No."

"I do not know you well enough to hate you."

"I understand you and Dameon will not harm me."

Yet, it was the last question that he was being asked that his gaze lowering to the floor. "I do trust you..." But it wasn't trust that he was looking for here.

[Sosuke0549]

Mangus eyes widened slightly glancing at Dameon.

You want me to become his lover? Is that what your asking me? I have never seen this youngling like that before Damon.

He listened as the boy answered his questions. He sighed.

" Nicholi... tell me. Were you in love with your previous sire... have you suddenly developed feelings for me?"

He knew he was kind to the boy. But he was his Sire, and Nicholi was his underling. To become physically and emotionally attached was Something he just didn't see... or approve of. To fall in love well. It just seemed odd to him.

[Nicholi]

Dameon clinched his teeth when Magnus put it that way. As cruel as it seemed to Magnus, it was going to be the only way that Nicholi was going to get out of this rut he was in. You don't have to say it that way... Have you not stopped and actually looked at this being you call the DragonSlayer? He murmured into the man's mind. Its his heart that you need to protect, not his body as you have come to think that you need to do. He shook his head, vampires now a days. It seemed the old ways had diminished with the times, A Sire loved their childe as they could no longer bare their any of their own, they made them instead. A curse... in some senses, and a wonderful tradeoff in other senses.

 

Nicholi's eyes widened as he turned his face away from the both of them. "He said... he was going to give me a wonderful life. And I would never have to ask for anything ever again." He whispered softly as he let his gaze lower to the floor. "He lied to me... and as for feelings for you, I say it again... I do not know you all that well to even develop such things." He murmured.

 

Dameon straightened up at the words he heard. A frown played on his lips as his gaze darted to Magnus, moving his head a little as if to nudge Magnus into building a relationship with the boy. If you do not do it, however do you plan on getting the DragonSlayer to even show an ounce of human heart, even when we may need it most. He needs to feel as if he needs to protect one he loves. And you are going to make sure you are the one that protects his heart, or I will beat you to a pulp. The last part wasn't meant to be true, but he had no other way of getting this man to listen to him. It seemed Nicholi wasn't the only stubborn one around this place.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus had never seen it like that before. Dameon's words held great truth them.

I understand...

He sighed- running a hand threw his hair. He pitted his youngling and yet... now that Dameon had brought such thoughts into his mind. He could see the boy in a sexual sense. He bit his lip glancing at the other vampire who urged him to make a relationship with Nicholi, and who threatened him. He faintly smiled at his friend. As if he could ever hurt him. He stood and sat beside Nicholi, taking his chin, forcing his head up to meet his eyes.

"From now on... I will make you forget all about your previous Sire. And that broken promise He made to you... I will be the only thing you will ever need. "

He gently ran his thumb over the boys pail cheek.

Nicholi... you can trust me. I swear to you this... if you should ever die... I will be right behind you. You will never be left alone in the darkness ever again.

He kissed the boys forehead before releasing him. And looking over at Dameon.

"I trust that tour staying. Since the sun has risen. You may take my youngling's room, He will be staying with me."

Will you help me with him Dameon. You are much more wiser... I do not think I can do this completely right with out You.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi for once when Magnus had ever moved toward him, sought the reassurance from the man. Having his chin lifted so that his gaze was forced to meet with his Sire. His own gaze full of confusion and even a hint of fear behind it. The words that reached his ears caused his gaze to flicker with emotions, as if he silently hoped that this man was telling him the truth. For once in his life, he really hoped that this man could truly help him in protecting his heart... along with saving their race. Having his forehead kissed, he had leaned closer to the man only to notice Magnus pulling away. His gaze lowered to the floor as he sat there in his spot.

 

Dameon let a faint smile reach his lips as he watched Magnus, but it was when he heard himself being directed into the conversation. He tilted his head in a curious manor. Chuckling softly for a short moment before he heard the words within his mind. Everything about him turned serious as he gave a silent nod. As for now... Develop your relationship with him. He is in no danger at this very moment, so we can wait a day or two before we attempt to... train him in the arts. Standing from his spot. "Very well, I will retire for the day." He said softly before going off to the room that had been mentioned.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus grinned a little watching his friend leave. He agreed with him before standing and looking down at his youngling.

"Come now... "

He outstretched his hands to him.

"Or do you wish to be carried~ "

He smirked a little kneeling down to the boy - taking his hands. His touch was gentle and thoughtful.

"Our are you too hungry to sleep? And do not lie to me."

[Nicholi]

Nicholi lifted his gaze as he heard his Sire, but he lowered his gaze at the hand that had been held out to him. It had been two nights since he had any amount of blood, and it was starting to take its toll on him weither he wanted to deny it or not. Having his hands taken into his Sire's he could not help but have his gaze lower to the floor as he heard his Sire ask him if he was hungry. Yet it was the next part that had him whimpering softly. He didn't want to lie to his Sire in the first place... but it was his human heart that did not wish to kill any innocent beings. Nodding after a long moment when the pains of hunger began to make themselves known again after being distracted from them for a while.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus sighed.

Nicholi, being hungry is nothing to be ashamed about or sacred . You will forever and only drink from me...

He quickly and suddenly snatched the boy up in his arms, carrying him bridal style, as he started walking to his bedroom.

"And why can you hardly look at me? You know it is disrespectful and yet you continue. Is my face Not appealing to you? Or.... are you just timid around me?"

He grinned a little looking down at the delicate boy in his arms. Nicholi was indeed fascinating. A true beauty.

 

He opened the door to his bedroom and closed it behind him. Moving over to the bed, He sat down placing his underling in his lap. Holding him gently.

He titled his head to the side.

"Bite me...feed."

[Nicholi]

Nicholi's gaze flickered as he heard the man within his mind. Only to be picked up and carried off towards the room. The next words that reached his ears had his eyes widening and a soft whimper to leave his lips. "I... Please.... forgive me. Its just... He had beat it into me that I was not allowed to look upon my Sire within proper reason." He whispered softly. It seemed that the lesson he had been taught, was going to be a hard one to break. Yet... he did also feel a bit timid around the other, almost afraid that he would disappoint the man in other means.

 

Once he was pulled into the man's lap and being held, his gaze lifted after a long moment. Moving his lips over the man's neck gently, in a slow caress. His fangs lengthened before he bit down into the flesh, his fingers reached up to clinch into the fabric of his Sire's shirt as he began to slowly feed from him.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus didn't make a sound as his youngling bit into his flesh. He slowly moved his hand- and gently ran his fingers threw Nicholi's hair. Wanting to ease him.

I see... I am sorry. If only I had found you first.

He patiently waited for the boy to get his fill, wanting him to take as much as he needed.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi continued to feed from Magnus, closing his reddened eyes. It wasn't to much longer before his fangs detached from his Sire's neck and his body curled up. Feeling much tired than before. He couldn't keep his eyes open and his body felt to heavy for him to bare the weight of the sun's presence. A soft groan left him as he sleepily nuzzled at Magnus lightly. He looked to much like a child at that moment. A lost child.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus smiled gently and slowly laid the boy in his bed. Tucking him in, and then laid down beside the boy. He pulled him to his chest and held him protectively as he too fell asleep.

----------------------------

{ Sun Set }

Magnus slowly woke up as the sun was just now setting. He and Nicholi had slept The day away. And it was time to wake up.

He looked over his youngling and cupped his cheek.

"Nicholi.... wake up... its time to get up"

[Nicholi]

It had been when he was being awoken by his Sire. His eyes fluttered half open to look up at his Sire. A soft groan left his lips as he turned over to burrow his face within the pillows. "Still so tired..." His words were muffled by the pillows he had desired to bury his face within. Curling up as his eyes closed and began to drift off back into sleep. However, he knew that he wouldn't getting to sleep much longer.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus sighed and got up. He tugged off his shirt and dropped his pants to the floor. As he changed his clothes. Putting on a dark blue button down shirt and long black jeans. He'd let his youngling sleep.

very well. Daemon and I will be in the living room if you need us. Please come join us soon

And he left in a Flash step. He sat on his leather couch sighing.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi slept a little longer after his Sire had left. Feeling like he needed the extra sleep after what he had been put through a few nights ago.

 

Dameon made his way into the living room not long after Magnus. He looked to be deep in thought as he made his way into the room. But he didn't let his thoughts distract him to much. His gaze turned to Magnus, a little surprised to see the youngling had not awaken and joined the man. "He is still asleep?" He asked softly before taking a seat.

 

Nicholi sat up, sleep still fresh on his face after forcing himself to wake. He groaned softly, but it wasn't from hunger. The mark on his hip was burning slightly. Rubbing at it lightly in hopes to keep it from hurting him to much. He rubbed his eyes and slipped out of the bed before making his way down the hall towards the living room.

[Sosuke0549]

"Yes... He seemed quite tired. "

He looked away, His fingers tracing the boys punctuated marks. Thinking about last night before hearing Nicholi coming down the stairs.

He felt a little more at ease Now that the boy was in his sites. He motioned for him to sit beside him as he spoke with Dameon.

"How did you sleep? Fairly well...I hope."

[Nicholi]

Nicholi rubbed at his eyes once again as he entered the room. Moving to sit beside his Sire, he felt as if something wasn't right. But he wasn't to sure of what was wrong with himself. He felt like he wasn't fully in his body, like part of himself was elsewhere.

 

Dameon nodded. "I slept well, Just been thinking a lot during the day." He said softly. But his attention was drawn elsewhere when his gaze landed on the boy. A slight frown touched his lips for a quick second.

 

Nicholi let out a small whimper and his eyes widened as pain shot into his shoulders. Two small bulges began to show on his shoulder blades. But it was what was underneath the skin that was troubling. It looked as if something was trying to come out from under the skin. Crying out as tears welled up into his eyes, he slid off his seat and doubled over in terrible pain.

 

Dameon stood up from his seat as if he had been shot. His eye widening at the cry that had filled the room, the shriek was loud and ear splitting. It would of made his ears bleed if he were human.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus put his arm around the youngling as he sat beside him. He nodded to his friend. But Something seemed off about his underlining. He looked at him, when he suddenly whimpered.

"Nicholi, are you feeling alright? "

That's when he pulled back seeing the two small bulges that began to show on his shoulder blades. Magnus stood in alarm. What was underneath the boys skin?! It looked as if something was trying to come out of him! He looked and appeared calm but inside he was worried, he looked to his old friend.

What is going on?!
