CHAPTER THIRTEEN



~~~~~~BRIAN’S POV~~~~~~

I look at Nickolas as he lies with his head on my chest. He’s too quiet and it’s bothering me. Nickolas sighs as he runs one of his fingers over the scar running down the middle of my chest. His voice comes out, barely over a whisper,

“You could have died.” I smile kissing the top of his head.

“Yes, but Alex showed up just in time.” Those words rang true. If Alex had showed up any later, I probably would have died. Nickolas stiffens at Alex’s name. Alex hates him, because he loves me and I love Nickolas back. I remember the day when I told him I didn’t love him.

************FLASHBACK************

I look at Alex. He seems so fidgety. Why? His tongue flicks nervously over his lips. He’s nervous? Okay, now he’s making me nervous. I look at him, as he runs a hand through his hair. His eyes flick nervously around the room, as if making sure no one is around. Kevin and Howie have left to hunt, so they aren’t here. Alex opens his mouth,

“Brian, I...” With his supernatural speed, Alex has closed the distance and his lips are crushed against mine. I try to pull away, as his tongue slips past my lips into my mouth. I guess being a thousand years old has it’s advantages, when it comes to strength. His tongue finds mine and runs over it. As he pulls away he sucks my lower lip into his mouth. I push against his chest and fall down. Alex reaches down to help me up. I quickly scramble backwards,

“NO! Don’t come near me!” Hurt shows in his eyes.

Brian...” He reaches out again.

“No!” Alex’s eyes narrow, as he roughly grabs my arms pulling me up. I twist in his arms, as he tosses me to the bed. Before I can scramble away, he’s straddling my hips. His eyes are black. Shit, his anger has caused the blood lust to surface. He growls, as he kisses my neck. His fangs are nipping at my neck. I know that if I anger him too much, he can tear my throat out. He lowers his face to look directly into my eyes,

“What? I’m not good enough for you?” He presses his lower body to me, grinding against me, “You don’t like cock?” I snarl, as I swing, punching him hard in the face. Time seems to stop. Blood dribbles from the corner of his lips. It’s his turn to snarl, as he sinks his fangs into my neck. I scream, as he tears into my neck. I just pray he stops before he gets to the bone. Alex stops, but his throat works as he drinks the blood flowing from my neck. I push against him as I start to feel lightheaded. Out of nowhere, Alex pulls away. His face shows shock, as he looks at my throat. I try to breathe, as blood bubbles to my lips. “Brian...I...I...” Tears fall from his eyes, as he kisses my face. His kisses are leaving my own blood on my face. “I didn’t mean to. I....I just got angry. I love you. Please forgive me...” I wheeze, as my throat heals,

“I can’t love you now, nor will I ever love you!” Alex’s eyes widen in shock. He quickly turns away and leaves the room. I lie on my back, allowing my throat to heal. I hear a roar of anger, then a scream of pain. The door slams shut. Moments later, Kevin stumbles into the room. His green eyes roam the room and fall on me.

“What did you do to make him mad?” His face is pale from the pain that shows in his eyes. Kevin gently holds his right arm to his body. It’s not bleeding. He lets go of it for a moment. My eyes widen as his arm hangs useless at his side. His shoulder is disconnected. I sit up, my throat fully healed and motion for him to come closer. He walks to me and sits next to me. “What did you do?”, he repeats. I ignore him for a moment as I take his right arm. I roughly twist it and pop it back into place. He screams, his good hand clutching at the bed. Sweat has broken out on his face. I lie back and tell him what happened.

**************************************************************************** ******************

Kisses, running down the scar brings me back. I moan, as Nickolas has taken my nipple into his mouth. He swirls his tongue around my nipple, careful not to draw blood. I run my hands through his hair. I need him, now. Nickolas chuckles, as he moves so that he is lying atop the length of my body. Our naked bodies are pressed together as we look into eachother’s eyes. I see the love in his eyes and I hope that my eyes mirror his. Nickolas flicks his tongue over my neck, before beginning to nip at it. I moan, as I spread my legs. Nickolas presses himself against me and begins to grind against me. We moan together as our members harden against eachothers. My hands run over his shoulders, down his back till they cup his ass. Nickolas gasps as he grinds harder against me. I smile, kneading his ass with my hands. He raises his head to look into my eyes. His blue eyes swirl black for a moment, before he captures my lips against his. Our tongue meet in a battle. I groan, as he pulls my hips closer to him, grinding harder and faster. His breathing is fast and labored. I take his tongue into my mouth and suck on it. Nickolas whimpers grinding impossibly harder. If I were a mortal woman, it would have hurt. I pull away, my tongue playing over his lips. My eyes wander towards the door. Alex leans against the doorframe, eyes narrowed nearly burning a hole into Nickolas’s back. Shit, that makes you limp faster than anything. Nickolas must have felt my member go limp, because he has stopped and is looking at me confused. I stare at Alex not knowing what to say. What do you tell your Master that still loves you? Nickolas looks over his shoulder and stiffens. Alex straightens himself, still glaring at the two of us naked together,

“I see I’m interrupting something.” Nickolas opens his mouth to say something, but I squeeze his arm. I keep a blank face,

“What do you want Alex?” He cringes at the bitterness in my voice.

“I was going to see if you wanted to hunt with me tonight, but I see you have other plans...” I want to say something smart, but I stop myself.

“I have to hunt with Nickolas. He still can’t control the blood lust that much.” His eyes show sadness for a moment, but it disappears as he growls,

“We used to hunt together...”

“Things have changed...”

“....we used to be the best hunting pair...”

“...you have Kevin and Howie....”

“...Brian I’m sorry about that night...”

“...go make Howie even more jealous that you are Kevin’s lover and not his...”

“...I didn’t mean to hurt you, you just angered me....” I looked him right in the eyes,

“...you don’t hurt those you love.” We stared into eachother’s eyes. I wrapped my arms tighter around Nickolas, protecting him from the possible attack. Alex lowers his eyes to the floor. He looks up, tears in his eyes,

“Why don’t you love me the way you love Nickolas?”

“He didn’t hurt me and didn’t force himself on me.” Those words hurt him. I narrow my eyes, “Do you even love Kevin or do you see my face in the place of his? When you fuck him do you see me? If so, stop what you are doing to him....he truly loves you.” I pause to let the words sink in, before continuing, “What about Howie? Do you enjoy hurting him? He loves you too, but it hurts him to see you turn to Kevin. Better yet, do you enjoy hurting others?” Alex fists clench, he is fighting the urge to hurt me or better yet...Nickolas, the source of his anger. “Answer me Alex.” I’m shocked at myself. Never have I talked to him like this. He looks at me, then to Nickolas, who is still lying on top of me.

“I do love Kevin.” He pauses, “I love Howie, too.” A tear runs down his face, “I love you, too. I just wish you would love me back.” He sobs for a moment, “It hurts me to know that if I had done things differently, I could be sharing a bed with the three men I love...” He smiles, a bitter one, as he looks at Nickolas, “I don’t even think I hate you...I just think I am jealous because you captured his heart.” Another small smile forms...this one not bitter, “I can see why he loves you. You embrace life, even the life you are living now.” Alex searches Nickolas’s eyes, then mine for a sign of forgiveness. My lips form a smile, as I gently push Nickolas off. He moves aside, understanding my actions. I reach out for Alex, this time taking his hands that are outstretched for mine. Tears fall down Alex’s face, as I hold him. His tears are of happiness, I have finally forgiven him. Nickolas moves closer, putting his arms around Alex. All of our heads are pressed together as we cry. The three of us have made an unspoken truce.



CHAPTER FOURTTEN


THREE YEARS LATER

~~BRIAN’S POV~~

I sigh, as I wake up. It has been three years since Nickolas “died”. Since then he has learned the basic things a fledgling should know. He has learned to hide his fangs, now making it easier to go out and hunt. He also learned how to put a hold on the mind of the prey, faster than I learned. I think Alex is still upset that I have watched over Nickolas so well. Most vampires don’t make fledglings till they are four-hundred years old or older. In a way I think he is also proud that I am that strong to control a fledgling. Speaking of Alex, since that night Alex has changed a great deal. He has learned to control his anger and doesn’t lash out in anger. He has also welcomed Howie as his lover. You should have seen the look on Howie’s face when Alex invited him into his bed along with Kevin. Howie nearly cried. Now when Nickolas and I wake up, you can hear the cries and moans from the adjacent room. Sometimes we try to compete, to see who can make the most noise. It is a very close match. I look up from where my head is resting on Nickolas’s chest. He is still asleep. A smile spreads over my face as I nuzzle his chest, willing him to wake up. No such luck. I close my eyes, as I lie close to my mate. No sooner had I begun to feel drowsy, when a moan comes from the other room. I listen harder. Sure enough, there’s another moan! I laugh into Nickolas’s chest as I hear a whimper, followed by a loud groan. My cock hardens, thinking about what is happening in the next room. My ““excitement” is forgotten, as a pain rips through my chest and stomach. I need to feed or the blood lust will take over. I sit up, gazing at Nickolas. He looks like an angel. He’s my angel. I smile as I place my head back down on his chest, tracing lightly around his nipple.



~~NICK’S POV~~

Brian thinks I am asleep. To tell you the truth, I have been awake before he awoke. I like to lie back and feel Brian close to me. He giggles into my chest as he hears Alex and the other two in the next room. Yes, I heard that too. Brian’s cock hardens, pressing against my thigh. He shifts as he sits up. My body tingles as I feel Brian look over me...I love that feeling of him watching me. Shit! Why did he have to do that!? I was enjoying myself! Brian has begun to trace around my nipples with his finger. I let out a moan. Brian’s hand moves away from my chest. NO!! Don’t stop! He chuckles, as I snap my eyes open,

“You are such a faker.” I growl, sitting up,

“I don’t see you complaining.” Brian shrugs, that shit-eating grin on his face. I just want to lick that grin off his face. That’s what I do. I run my tongue over his lips. Brian moans, as he grabs the back of my head and kisses me roughly. I glance down his naked body and notice his arousal. His lips has moved to kissing and nipping at my neck and to my collarbone. I grin to myself, as I wrap my hand around his cock. Brian grunts, biting down into my shoulder. He pulls away, resting his forehead against my shoulder, as I begin to stroke him. I move his head, so that our foreheads are pressed together. I keep my eyes on his face, as his eyes are watching my hand work him. Alternating from slow to quick strokes, I also pause to fondle his balls. Brian loves it when I do that! His face scrunches up, as he thrusts into my hand, wanting his release. I continue to stroke him as I kiss along his jawline to his ear. I place kisses around his ear, before whispering, “We need to hunt.” With that I give him a gentle squeeze, then give him one last hard stroke. Brian whimpers, his blue eyes full of lust and need. I grin as I get up, “Come on, Brian!” I walk to the bureau that holds my clothes, making sure to shake my bare ass as I walk. Brian growls in his throat, as he moves to his. I laugh to myself, as Brian whimpers while he is pulling his pants over his painfully erect cock. Damn, I love teasing him. He can’t get mad, because he knows after we hunt that I will fuck him till he can’t walk...so why is he complaining?

~~BRIAN’S POV~~

I glare at his back, as he walks ahead of me. He has no idea how uncomfortable I am right now. My cock is so fucking hard, I have to adjust myself almost every minute. Nickolas seems to be enjoying this as he chuckles at me being this uncomfortable. I growl to myself as he stops, allowing me to catch up. He takes my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine. His blue eyes sparkle with laughter, laughter that is directed at me! Damn him! He grins, that grins that makes me melt, which he damn well knows what he’s doing.

“I love you.” I growl, jerking my hand away from his...turning my back to him. He gives a startled gasp, trying to turn me to face him. After a few minutes of struggling, he gives up and places his arms around my waist. His chin rests on my shoulder, as he tries to look into my eyes..since I’m avoiding his. He whimpers, “Brian...I DO love you...Brian?” I try not to laugh at his whimpering. Nickolas begins to kiss my shoulder and neck. I tilt my head back and moan. I can feel him smile against my neck, as he nibbles at my main artery. He’s hungry. I grin to myself, getting an idea. I bring my hand around his back, grabbing his ass to pull me closer to his body. Now that I am close to him, I begin to grind back against him. Nickolas gasps as I continues to grind against him, my free hand kneading his ass. It takes a lot of self control to finally stop and not let him have me right there in the middle of the trail. I pull away, taking his hand. Nickolas’s eyes are dazed, he wants his release, too. I grin,

“We need to feed.” I turn away and continue to walk down the trail. Behind me, Nickolas growls at me. I turn to face him, grinning, “Who’s teasing who?” Nickolas growls louder, his fangs slipping from his gums. His blood lust his taking a hold of him. After awhile, I stop. Nickolas almost runs into me from behind. Coming up the trail are two young women. They don’t notice us yet. Nickolas smiles, his fangs now hidden. The two women get closer. They are both about the same age and height. I would almost think they are twins. They have the same busty chest, not hidden very well by their dresses. Their blonde hair falls to the bottom of their shoulder blades. Nickolas and I lick our lips, not really paying attention to what we are doing. He grins, as he approaches one of the women. She startles, but smiles as Nickolas gets closer.

“Hello ladies. What are the two of you doing out in the dark alone?” Both women giggle and blush. Nickolas has that charm over the women. The one closer to him smiles,

“Just taking a stroll and discussing things.” She notices me, behind Nickolas, “What about the two of you?” I smile,

“Well, we were doing the same, but are pleased to run into such beautiful women.” She giggles, and thrusts her chest out, as she looks me and Nickolas over. The other woman looks at her disgusted. Then I see why. On her right ring finger, there is either a simple engagement ring or her wedding band. Nickolas notices, too. He grins again and he starts to talk to her, keeping his voice husky. Eventhough he is showing kindness through his words and actions, his eyes show his true feelings about her. His eyes show so much hate. Ever since Emily, forgot about Nickolas tow days after he “died”, he’s had a strong hate for women. It is especially strong when he sees women that are not faithful to their man. The other woman leaves her companion, disgusted. The woman before us doesn’t seem to care. She licks her lips, running a finger over the curve of her breasts. Wow, she really doesn’t care about her man. I can feel Nickolas’s anger and blood lust flare up. He needs to feed soon, before he gets mad and tries to kill her. We move closer to her, keeping our voices low and husky. We keep eyecontact and lick our lips ever so often. She bites her lower lip, as Nickolas and I press against her sides. A moan escapes her lips, as I take her lips against mine. Nickolas kisses her breasts, then he moves up to her neck. I am doing the opposite, as I move down to her neck. We both kiss and nibble at her neck. I break away from her throat as she moans. Nickolas looks at me, as he continues nibbling on her neck. Our eyes meet, as I try to silently tell him what I want him to do. He nods knowing what I want him to do. Nickolas roughly kisses her lips, then pulls away never leaving her eyes. I watch as her eyes slowly get that far away look. Good, Nickolas has a hold of her mind. We both move to her neck, sinking our fangs in. I sigh as her warm blood rushes to my awaiting mouth. Nickolas whimpers, as he begins to furiously work at her throat. I close my eyes as I feel her blood run down my throat and spreads through out my body, warming me to the core. I can fell Nickolas’s eyes on me. Slowly I open my eyes. We lock gazes as we both feed on her. Strangely, this is erotic and making me hard. Nickolas smiles, as he continues to feed. After a couple of moments we pull away. The woman stands there, staring off into the distance. Nickolas moves to her ear,

“Go and forget.” She blinks at him and leaves. I look at Nickolas. Her blood is still smeared around his face. I pull him roughly to me, as I lick around his mouth. He moans, opening his mouth for me. Our tongues meet in a duel in eachother’s mouths, before pulling away. Again our tongues duel outside of our mouths. He grabs the sides of my face, slowly licking the blood away from my face. I moan, as I harden more. I need him!

“Nickolas...I need you...” Nickolas chuckles, as he takes my hand,

“Then lets go.” I follow him eagerly as we walk back to our house. I wonder of Nickolas is swaying his hips on purpose...that bastard...But I love him!



“You fell away, what more can I say?

these feelings evolve, I won’t let it out.

I can’t replace your screaming face,

feeling the system inside.

Why won’t you die?

Your blood in mine?

We’ll be fine.

Then your body will be mine.

So many words, can’t describe my face.

This feelings’ evolved, so soon to break out.

I can’t relate to a happy state,

feeling the blood run inside.

Why won’t you die?

Your blood in mine.

We’ll be fine.

Then you body will be mine.

Why is everything so fucking up for me?

Keeping me down to what you think I should be.

Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry?

Keep on trying I’m not dying so easily.

Why won’t you die?

Your blood in mine.

We’ll be fine,

then your body will be mine.(twice)”

“System” Chester Bennington from the Queen of the Damned soundtrack
