Forbidden Darkness (Sosuke0549)

[Sosuke0549]

I told you to stop worrying so much... you will get wrinkles if you keep this up. He is fine... Are you really going to let yourself believe what his former Sire had been planting within the child's mind? [/Quote]

Magnus's eyes widened slightly hearing Dameon's voice. He grinned a little about him getting wrinkles but it ultimately disappeared as his friend said he was similar to Nicholi's former Sire.

Your right...I'm letting my worry and fear cloud me...Nicholi is such a bright child. And every time I see him my desire to protect and...ravish him ....grows stronger.

He gave a long sigh.

I'm not sure how you did this Dameon... you are truly a mystery.

[Nicholi]

Dameon lowered his gaze as he was reminded of his own childe. A frown touched his lips as the painful memories of so long ago played in his mind. There were a lot of happy times before his Childe had met his fate. But... the last day together, he himself damned all of creation just because he had not allowed himself to close to his Childe and in turn the DragonSlayer had been lost. That was until Nicholi had shown up. The reincarnation of his Childe. I will not lie to you Magnus... What will be ahead of your childe will bring trials and hardship upon both of you. You must stay strong, You must believe in each other no matter what... even if it seems that either of you may turn against each other. Nicholi is still so young, his heart is pure and you need to protect it. By getting close to him, by building a relationship and noticing the way he acts. You will learn him, this will help you if one of the enemy tries to put a compulsion over him or if they try to take over his mind to turn him against you. Trust me... It will be much worth it in the end. He whispered softly. Yet, he stilled at the movement in Magnus' room. Even from a distance he could hear the childe waking. He is awake... and hungry.

 

Nicholi whimpered softly, his nails dug into the bed below him as his reddened gaze slid open to see that he was back in this room once again.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus nodded As Dameon gave him wisdom. He stood as he heard that his youngling was awake. He hurried inside and into his room. Where Nicholi was still on his bed. He closed the door behind him and went to his Youngling's side,

He would no longer worry about Nicholi. He wouldn't get consumed by negative thoughts. He trusted his underling, and would always trust him.

"How did you sleep? Are you still in pain?"

He ran a hand threw his hair, comforting Nicholi.

"Your hungry again,..yes?"

He tilted his head to the side releaving his neck,

"Bite into me... take as much as you need."

[Nicholi]

Nicholi whimpered softly as he heard his Sire returning back to this room. His nails dug deeper into the bed before he heard his Sire speaking to him. Lifting his hungry reddened gaze to the man with soft whimpers that escaped his lips. He hadn't slept as well as he had wanted to, his fear that his former Sire would come after him and kill him still rampaged through his mind. He didn't want to die... and that was his greatest fear of all. His gaze flickered in the light of the room before he crawled closer to his Sire, letting his fangs pierce into his Sire's neck as he closed his eyes. Slowly feeding from the man.

 

Dameon stayed quiet while he knew what was going on. His ears were perfectly sensitive and could hear even without having to spy on anyone. He let them have they privacy as much as he could with his own gifts, yet they were nothing compared to what the dragonslayer could unleash. Keeping his mind on what he was reading so that he didn't pry into what was happening in the home.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus made no reaction as his youngling bit into his neck. Tho it was painful He hide it all too well. He ran his fingers threw the boys hair.

The boys thoughts were to easy to read.

You had a nightmare? I am sorry. But I tell you time and again that I will protect you. Do not worry about your previous Sire... if he ever comes for you... I will kill him. And its natural to be afraid of death... but even so... I told you that if you ever died. I'd be right behind you. You won't go alone. We are forever connected now...you can relax now Nicholi.

He wrapped his free arm around him. His hand gently rubbing his back.

I'm not going anywhere.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi truly wanted to believe what the man said to him. But after how he had been treated by his former Sire, well... now he had trust issues. And hard ones to break. He tried to trust Magnus, yet he found himself wanting to push the other away at times. Feeling as if he needed to protect the man from himself just because of his deadly gift. And other times... all he wanted was to grow closer to the man. He only took as much as he needed before detaching himself from his Sire. Curling up on the bed once again as his gaze lowered to the covers. "I... I know you want to protect me. But... are you not afraid of what I can do?" He asked softly.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus Was surprised a little. He smiled and took Nicholi's hand.

"Of course not.. Why would you think that?"

He leaned forward cupping Nicholi's cheek.

"Look at me... I am not afraid of you. I care about you... I like you... I like you a lot. "

[Nicholi]

Nicholi lowered his gaze when his hand had been taken and the words were spoken. "Because... I can kill without even meaning to." He whispered softly. "I can not control it... What if you get hurt in the process?" He asked softly. However, having his cheek cupped and being told to look at the man. He lifted his gaze, but hearing the man. He couldn't help the tears that welled up into his eyes. "I don't want to hurt you... Im scared that I will never be able to..." He whimpered softly.

 

Dameon could not help but hear what the youngling had said. So it was fear he was feeling about his gift. But fear of harming another of his kind, that make the task of training him a bit easier... yet harder all the same. He frowned at his thoughts, standing from his seat as he put the book away. He lifted his hand, and concentrated on his own powers. A concentrated energy was being forced to show physically with soft cracks and pops within the room. A ball of pure energy... lightening within his hand. It had been a long time since he had last used his own powers like this. And he needed to make sure he was going to be ready for the task for the next night. The ball flickered out as he grabbed his wrist from the hand the ball had formed in. It was still as painful as before, yet it was not something that he couldn't handle.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus listened as the boy spoke.

"Because... I can kill without even meaning to."[/Quote]

"I'm not afraid.."

"I can not control it... What if you get hurt in the process?"

"That's why you will learn how to control it. And even if I did... its my own choice. "

Magnus saw the boys eyes tear up.

"I don't want to hurt you... Im scared that I will never be able to..." [/Quote]

"Be able too... what? Tell me Nicholi. I know your scared...and its okay to be. But I'll be with you ever step of the way. I will never abandon you."

[Nicholi]

Tears welled up into his eyes even more before he curled himself up into a ball on the bed. Lowering his tear filled gaze to the bed before the tears cascaded down his cheeks. "I don't want to kill our race... But... I don't think I have it in me to save it either..." He whimpered softly.

 

Dameon had taken his seat back, nursing his arm for a long moment until the feeling had returned to it. He mentally cursed himself for not continuing the arts ever since his had passed on. He knew a new dragonslayer would appear at any time, but... he had been to foolish to neglect what he had learned from his own. It would seem that he was going to have to try a bit harder not to show how much strain that his own gifts were going to do to him. He was good at that... putting on masks to hide away his discomfort or pain. He just hoped that neither Nicholi nor Magnus would find out how dangerous this could really be for him.

[Sosuke0549]

"Nicholi..."

Magnus hated seeding the boy cry. He pulled him to his chest. Hugging him.

"I know you don't want to hurt anyone...but you have to try. I know your terrified of failing but how do you know you'll fail or exceed when you don't try?"

He took the boys crying face in his hands and licked his salty tears away. His tongue running along his cheek. Slightly warm and wet.

"Hush now... do not cry..."

He kissed his eye lid. His touch gentle and calming.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi's body trembled as he was pulled closer to his Sire. Being hugged close to the man, it didn't help him feel all that much better about what his conclusion of what was going to happen to him in the end. But he decided to keep that to himself, he didn't wish to trouble his Sire any more than he already was worrying. Curling up in his Sire's arms as his eyes closed. No matter what he tried to do to keep his mind off of what was going to happen, it was still there even if only a fraction of it.

[Sosuke0549]

He smiled a little pulling away.

"Do you feel better... perhaps... we can try your training. If your ready. '

He didn't want to put pressure on the boy. He kissed his forehead.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi nodded after a long moment, even if he felt like he couldn't do anything to save this race. He could at least pretend that everything was alright with him, for Magnus' sake. It wasn't like he was going to do anything other than cause mayham around here anyways.

 

Dameon's ears perked up after a moment. He had finally recovered from what he had tried. He would just have to do it like the old days, hide his pain away and make sure no one seen his faulters. Yet... his childe had seen it. He just hoped that Nicholi wasn't as keen enough with his senses to noticed such things. At least until he had gotten some practice in.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus was overjoyed. He was happy that his youngling was willing to give it a try. He was opening up! Eve if it was just a little. He stood up taking Nicholi's hand.

"I am proud of you Nicholi. I know how difficult this was for you in the begging. Thank you. "

He smiled kissing his hand as he hurried into the living room with him.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi let a small groan leave his lips. This wasn't going to be pleasant in the least bit, and defiantly not for him. He knew that he didn't have the strength to try and overpower his gift. Being taken back into the living room, his gaze lowered to the floor for a long moment. He didn't have a good feeling about this.

 

Dameon strolled back to the living room not long after Magnus and Nicholi had entered it. A thin brow raised as he looked at the two. Sighing softly as he shook his head a little. "I am assuming you want him to start right away... even after I warned you about his heart." He murmured softly. It wasn't good that Magnus had not taken to heart what he had been trying to warn the man about. It was crucial that Magnus bond with the boy before trying anything of the magical arts.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus bit his lip looking at Dameon.

"I am assuming you want him to start right away... even after I warned you about his heart." [/Quote]

I know... I told Nicholi how I felt about him. And he trusts me.

He pulled away from Nicholi and grabbed three unlit candles. He put them on the table and told Nicholi to sit in front of them.

He sat beside him.

"Now... your goal is too light all three candles. Too much fire and they melt completely. Too little And nothing happens, not enough focus and you only light one. You see? I know you can do it. And even if you can't. We can keep practicing until you can get this."

He smiled and kissed the boys forehead.

"And I'll be right here."

[Nicholi]

Dameon sighed and shook his head after he heard Magnus. And that is what I was warning you about. Trust is not enough. You have to hold his heart, not just have him trust you. But it seemed no matter what he was saying, Magnus would never learn until he himself would see what was going to happen. At least... for now, he assumed it would be alright to start with some small stuff. The boy wouldn't be in... to much danger. But it would also show Magnus a small amount of what could happen.

 

Nicholi sat down after the candles had been brought out. A soft groan left his lips, this was to easy for him. He had built fires would his gift before. Candles were nothing much childs play for him. Closing his eyes for a long moment before energy could be seen concentrated on the three wicks of the candles. It had only taken a short moment before the three of them flickered to life. His eyes opened as he shook his head. "To easy..." He murmured.

 

Dameon raised a thin brow. So apparently the boy was able to have some control over his gift... maybe he himself had interpreted wrong of what the boy had meant about controlling his gift. Let me try something... It may sound a bit harsh, but try and bare it. I will not harm him, to be on the safe side, I will not use my powers against him. He murmured into Magnus' mind before standing next to the boy. "If that was to easy for you... then why not use your gift against something a bit... harder." He said as he took a few steps back. "I want you to aim it at me..." He said as he extended his arms, getting ready for the attack.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus looked Dameon, hearing his voice in his mind.

Trust is not enough. You have to hold his heart, not just have him trust you.[/Quote]

What do you...mean?

But by then Nicholi had already lighted the three candles.

"To easy..." [/Quote]

"Was it?"

Let me try something... It may sound a bit harsh, but try and bare it. I will not harm him, to be on the safe side, I will not use my powers against him.

Magnus stared up at him confused. What was he planning? Tho he wasn't really worried. He trusted Dameon. He watched his friend with great interest.

"If that was to easy for you... then why not use your gift against something a bit... harder. I want you to aim it at me..."[/Quote]

His eyes widened, slightly. Was Dameon sure about this? He bit his lip to ease his nerves, looking at Nicholi.

Go on... He knows what he is doing. Don't be afraid.

[Nicholi]

Dameon let his gaze turn to Magnus, he himself knew the man had the best interest in the boys learning. But he lacked... the knowledge of such things. Candles would be for those just born in darkness, however... Nicholi was clearly a few days older than that. It seemed the boy had some control over small amounts of the gift, but just how much control did he really have?

 

Nicholi's gaze darted to Dameon whom was trying to make him use his gift once again. He shook his head as he turned his gaze away from him. "Never again... I don't want to hurt anyone anymore." He murmured lightly.

 

Dameon frowned as he heard the boy. It seemed he was being stern about what had happened with his former Sire. But this boy did not know what Dameon could do either. Dameon had gifts of his own, but there were a few darker gifts that he would never.... ever show or use on anyone unless nothing else worked. "I wont teach someone who is afraid to try, Nicholi." He said coldly. This was the only way he knew how to get the boy to use his powers, and it shown in his eyes that it was hurting him to say such things. Even when he himself knew this boy was the reincarnation of his own lover. "Use your gift... or I will use mine against you." He hissed out as he took a few steps towards the boy.

 

Nicholi's gaze flickered as fear settled in on himself once again. He didn't want to do this anymore. He just wanted to be normal... no gifts... no powers... no more killing. Tears welled up into his eyes as the words of being weak tore at him as they had been the same words of his Sire before he had been tossed out. Fire once again flickered over his body and surrounded himself in a form of perfect protection. Balls of flames were cast out to hurl themselves right at Dameon.

 

Dameon snarled lightly as he seen what his words were doing to the youngling, and it was even within Magnus' mind that he was cursing himself for pushing a little to hard. He came close to one of the balls, and the sleeve of his right arm had caught fire. Patting the flames out to look behind him at the blackened spots upon the wall where the balls had hit. He sighed softly. "Enough... Your aim will need some work." He murmured lightly as he turned his gaze to Nicholi whom was still on fire and didn't seem to be hearing a word he was saying.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus watched as Dameon pushed Nicholi. He was hesitant but didn't interfere. When Nicholi finally fired at his friend he moved away from him as he lit up in flames. He keeled before Nicholi trying to calm down.

"Its over Now... calm down.. Nicholi look at me. Look here. You need to calm down"

Perhaps it was too early for them to try and push the youngling. He glanced at Dameon.

Are you alright? I think we moved too early.

He sighed disappointed in himself. How could he be a good sire if he couldn't help or train his youngling. He felt like he was becoming a failure.

[Nicholi]

The light flickered in and out of his eyes as he stared at the floor in his burning inferno that he had managed to make of himself. It had taken a long moment before the flames flickered out once again... leaving him weak. A groan left his lips as he fell forward onto the hard floor as his eyes threatened to close on him. However a soft whimper left his lips. "Mas-ter"

 

Dameon nodded. Im fine... gather him up and get him into a bath before taking him to bed. I have some things I need to brush up on before I test him again, But for now... we wont go any farther than he is able to stand. He whispered into the man's mind.

[Sosuke0549]

Before Nicholi hit the ground Magnus was able to catch him. He bit his lip as he heard Daemon. He agreed with his friend and stood up- carrying Nicholi in his arms as if he weighed nothing.

 

He reached the bathroom and slowly put Nicholi againest the sink. He started to unbuttoned the boys shirt- slowly removing it and tossing it to the ground. He then undid the boys pants- letting them fall to the floor. He reached down to pull of his boxers when he stopped. He was hit with a sudden urge to ravish Nichoil. To see the child naked.... to taste his blood. To touch him sexually, and do some naughty things to him.

His eyes flashed red As he nuzzled into the boys neck, licking it... leaving behind a trail of saliva.

.. I... I can't... I shouldn't

He bit down on his bottom lip Pulling away from Nicholi. Struggling to control himself. He decided the boy would have to Lay in the tub with his boxers on.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi although weak and a little tired, he still was very aware of what was going on around him. Being carried off into the bathroom and being held against the sink as his clothes were being taken from him. Being nuzzled was a shock to him, Magnus had not done something to him like that at all. Yet, it was when the man had pulled away that his icy gaze opened to look at his Sire. "Why do you stop?" He whispered softly. "Is it because of what I am?" He asked. The pain of a deep loneliness within his own heart shown in his eyes, even in his weakened state. He needed what his Sire could give him, but would the man push past his own morals just to do what needed to be done?

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus was surprised seeing Nichol open his eyes and look at him.

"Why do you stop?"[/Quote]

He whispered softly.

"Is it because of what I am?" [/Quote]

Magnus cupped his cheek seeing the loneliness in his eyes. His eyes were glowing a bright red, As he leaned closer to the boy.

"No... it's not that... Nichoil... I just.."

He sighed- looking at the ground before meeting the boys eyes again.

"Don't look at me like that... "

He slowly kissed the boys lips. His lips soft and gentle.

Tell me when you want me to stop.

He muttered in the boys mind, slipping his tongue into the kiss. He tilted Nicholi's head back slightly, deepening the kiss,being in control. He pushed his knee up against his youngling's groan. To tease you.
