Episode 5 Revalations
Horatio paced back and forth across his room. Sitting in a chair on his path, fenrir waited for his boss to continue.
"My story is long and full of woe [dramatic huh?]," he began, "Best to start from the begining, although I don't know all the facts, here is what I do know."
My mother, she died soon after I was born, about a week, suicide, well thats what my father said. She jumped from the roof of the Kintobor building, trying to take me with her. She was apartenly unstable. I was raised from then by several nannies. This was tolerable, as I was spoiled by them. It wasn't until I was about eight that I realised why. I have a unique, or at least to my knowledge unique, ability. I can exert great amounts of control to the extent of total domination. Al it takes is simple eye contact, and after that, I can control them at any distance. I used this to get whatever I wanted, and to some extent I still do. This was a problem for my father. I was to wild, and I got away with it. Hoping to distance himself from his problem, and from me, I was se
nt to a boarding school in England.
Rosenburg [if this is a school, sorry] Boarding school is the best school in the whole of the British Isles, and some may say the world, and I flurished there. But so did my talent. Before I had only a few to practise on, but there, no-one was safe from my control, and once they had felt my influence, they would gladly lay down mind body and soul for me, if I should ever ask them too, and I used all at my own discresion.
Amy had changed into red hotpants and matching top. Crossing the corridor, she knocked on Ame's door hesitantly, then entered. Seing everyone sitting around the coffee table, she smiled and joined them. It had taken her longer to change than Loki and Tikal, and she was worried at what Rouge might have said.
"Stop avoiding the issue!" D was shouting at Ame, "You wont be able to lie to me forever, I'm an archiologist, it's my job to dig up secrets."
"It takes to long to tell, and most of the guys know it." Ame replied. Luc had turned up, wearing a t-shirt covered in a beach scene, and plain ? lencth shorts, and he didn't want to go through the whole story with him present.
"I like long stories, it's one of my hobbies, well mythologies anyway." Luc had left for the bathromm, so Ame gave in,
"I come from the Luna family, this means..."
"You're a Luna!! Wow! I thought that they had died out, and a White Luna too!" D was excited,
"You know about my family? How?" Ame was shocked.
"It's an almost unknown story, wow." Luc returned, having missed the brief exchange.
Rouge went to stand by Amy and whispered,
"Ask him now, he's so shocked, he'll probably just say yes." Her sarcasm went completely over Amy, and she nodded. Turning to Ame she said,
"Would I be able to have a cheerleader party here?" Rouge shook her head dissapointedly.
"What? Here? Theres nowhere near enough rom, plus it'll take lots of work, y'know, food, drink. Why?"
"'Cos the teams coming tomorrow, sorry I didn't think..." She was almost crying [going for the pity vote].
"What about the roof garden?" Tikal was trying to help. She was dressed in a dark green skir, and plain matching blouse.
"And I'm sure you can throw something together, you are a genius in the kitchen." Luc also pleaded the case.
"I suppose, there is a barbeque up there," Ame conceeded defeat, "We need supplies, Luc, you're taking me on a shopping run, and buying me a new outfit."
"See you guys," Luc said as they left.
"That was almost too easy," Rouge said suspisciously.
"Is the party gonna be cheerleaders only?" Sonic asked, he didn't want to miss seeing all the girls in their uniforms.
"Nope, everyone here is invited," Amy had seen her chance to show off.
I excelled at the school,Horatio continued, all on natural, normal talent. I never used my ability for good grades, I never needed to. Knowing that I was intelligent enough to get the highest marks without cheating was more important to me. I'm also naturaly atheletic. These things on there own would have been enough to make me one of the most popualr people in the school, but only to some, I wanted total control, which I got.
After a time, I became bored with having everbody as a yes man, so once more I started pushing the limits, seeing how far I could take my ability. The things I did ranged from minor things like leaving the school, and going into the nearby town for shoplifting sessions, to actually physically controlling people, and making them do things they never usually would [don't be dirty! lolh]. These actions pacfied me for a short time, but I soon again, I began to feel empty.
This got worse at holiday times. I was never called back here [sound familiar?] My father obviously thought I was stilll uncontrolable, and I suppose I would have been. At these times althogh we were told to stay in groups, I'd shut myslf off from everyone else, making sure they'd all keep away from the areas I would be using, and this worked for me. I was content to leave my lackies, for none of them I truly considered friends, and also my power behind.
This lasted until my fifth year at the school. The long summer break had come, and I was looing forward to my normal time alone, until I saw someone new, someone different. I was, I'm not sure, intigued? Captivated? Besotted with him? I couldn't say then, and I still aren't sure. I went over to him, making sure he was alone first, and said,
"Looks like we're stuck together," I had decided to stay with someone, and he was it, "I'm Horatio Robotnik." I hoped to impress him.
"I'm Loki," he extended his hand and didn't sem to care about who I was.
"Gyms open, I'm going for a workout. Wanna see if you can keep up?"
"I'm game," was his reply, I found it funny that he thought he even stood a chance, so laughing I lead the way to the gym.
"So how are you able to afford 310?" Loki asked D, he was in his stanard jeans, this time with a Escaflowne t-shirt [hee hee]"These places can be a bit pricy."
"I get a bursary, it covers most expenses, but I'm not living there alone," D answered, "My roomate, Mina, is bringing the stuff, she's not due for a bit though."
"So the two of you can afford it between you?" from Amy.
"Just about, but it means we have a budget for the rest of the stuff we need."
"So why this place?" Tikal this time, "Aren't there cheaper places around Statio Square?"
"Yes and no. This place is perfect for us. It's not far from the Train Station, its close to the Museum, and within walking distance of the University."
"Very convinent for you, huh?" Tails spoke this time.
"Yes, but it means that we have to cut down on the luxuries, like clothes shopping, or clubbing for a while."
From outside they heard a knocking. It wasn't at Ame's door, or Amy's, so they ignored it. When the knocker had given up banging, they shouted,
"Ganymede! Gany! You in there?"
"Oh, thats Mina," D got up and went to the door. The guys, apart from Rouge, followed to met Mina. Standing outside apartment 310 was a mousegirl about D's age. She had black fur and hair, she kept her hair tied back. She wore faded, ripped jeans, that looked like thay needed to be washed, a plain white t-shirt in the same condition, and old trainers. In contrat she wore half moon glasses that made her look old.At her feet were several rocks. She tried banging on the door again before D said,
"Hey Mina."
"Huh? I thought this was ours." She replied.
"It is, I was just in their as I got off early today, I'll tell you later, and I wanted to wait with my cousin, and our new neighbours. Guys, this is Mina, I'll do introductions later."
"You gonna stand there, or you gonna help bring our stuf up?"
"Sure, we can give you a hand," Sonic said.
"If you can ask nicely," Loki said under his breath.
"Great, this means we cut the time needed for this job, and I can get back to my stones." After putting the rocks in her room, Mina lead them back to her van.
I went easy on him to begin with, Fenrir listened, light work on the machines, but he kept up easily, so I went up a gear, made it harder, and he thrived on it. It became a competetion, which is what I wanted. I was unbeaten at everything, no-one could, or would, even dream of trying to outdo me, my talent of course. Finishing the warm up period, I let him choose the next exercise.
"What next then?" I asked, hesitating for a moment, he went for a low-tech race.
"How about we climb?" indicating the ropes, he smiled.
"Sure, another race it is." We took up positions next to each other, and began.
To say he was fast is an understatement. I think it took him half the time it took me, as he was on the ground waiting for me as I started to climb down. I was shocked, he had been trying to beat me throughout, and he had succeeded. He didn't gloat, but he didn't need to. I was shocked, and spent the rest of my workout watching his acrobatics. He was amazing, I later asked him if he ever had any lessons or training, he claimed he hadn't. That break we competed almost non-stop.
I won most, but he had his share of victories too. Each time he beat me, it was a surprise, bu most surprising was when I realised he was immune to my power, I couldn't control him. This was, and still is a part of the attraction.
Having bought supplies ranging from charcoal brickets and lighting fluid, to sauages and vegetarian burgers [for Tikal, i think she would be a veggie], Ame and Luc began to head home. Approaching his taxi, Luc joked,
"I thought I owed you an outfit too."
"You do, I never said I wanted it now." Ame playfuly smacked Luc's ass. he reacted to this by drawing him into a kiss. Ame loaded the boot [or trunk, you decided!] , then got in the passenger side.
Luc drove them almost to Chao Tower, but turned off early.
"Where we going?" Ame was curious, "I really need to get this stuff to a fridge."
"A few minutes wont hurt, and it's a surprise!" Luc smiled. Ame was quiet, he trusted his boyfriend, so let him take them on this detour. Parking near to Station Gardens [the park... you think of a better name for it then!], Luc lead Ame to a waterfall, and they bth sat to admire the breathtaking view.
"It's lovely here, but why?" Ame still wanted to know.
"I know the park keeper, he told me this place had the best scenery, but now it's perfect, with you in it."
"Luc," Ame hugged him.
"Thats not all. Tails told me your secret."
"What secret?" Ame had lots of things he'd rather Luc didn't know.
"I missed your birthday. It was earlier this month. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Oh, that, I didn't want a big deal making." Ame coverd his earlier suprise.
"Well I got you something." Luc got out a small box, wrapped in purple paper, tied with white ribbon. Taking, Ame unwrapped it carefully. Inside it was a jewelry box, and in that was an Amethyst heart on a silver necklace.
"It's..... beautiful," tears had appeared in Ame's eyes.
"The second most beautiful Amethyst here. Now you really do have my heart." Luc helped Ame put it on, then the two kissed, and Luc held Ame in his arms until he had stopped crying.
"I love you," Luc said, kissing his boyfriend.
"I love you too," Ame replied, more under control now, "Lets get back before they send out a search party for us." Luc helped Ame to his feet. Making there way back to Chao Tower, Ame smiled at the Collie-guy [dog-guy sounds ugly], but he had a feeling of dread deep down.
The more I learnt about Loki, the more I wanted to know. The competition was kept up, but we became closer because of it. He was the onl person who was genuine to me. This was something I had missed with everyone obeying me unquestionally. I started loking forward to any holiday, no matter how long. Just to be in his presence was enough, biut to see him in hie element, in the gym, on the rings, or doing floorwork..... I even began to compete with him at that, just for the thrill of doing something together, and for him to win. I never let him see the joy that him beating me gave me [wow, this works on soo many levels].
Nearing the end of Loki's time at the school, I decided to take it further. I didn't know if that was what he wanted, but I hoped. After a workout together, I approached him in the showers. He wanted it too, that much was obvious, but we couldn't there and then. We had to wait until that night. It was an agonising time for both of us, but the night that followed was more than worth it.
Taking a break from his narrative, Horatio said,
"Speaking of night, it seems to have gotten quite late."
"Of course, what time shall I meet you tomorrow?" although he was desperate to hear the rest of the tale, Fenrir knew better than to question his boss.
"Early, 8:30, I would like to finish my story before the meeting." Nodding, Fenrir left. Reaching his room, he sighed and said to himself,
"So, catboys who aren't affected by his beguilement are high in his mind? Maybe one day he'll feel the way he does for Loki, for me." Admitting to Horatio his feeling, or his immunity to being controlled, at this point would be amistake, and Fenrir knew this. His best course of action would be to try and replace this unattainable 'Loki'. Maybe he could fully replace the one that had rejected his love.
On the Saturday morning, Ame was preparing salads.He was dresed in a purple velvet long sleved shirt, and patchwork purple jeans.Amy walked into his apartment wearing her hearts pjamas. Checking his watch, and seeing it was 7:30, he said to her,
"Up early aren't you?"
"Uh-huh, worried about the party. Why so happy?" Amy looked tired, but she could fix that with make-up.
"No reason," Ame replied, as Luc walked out of his bedroom, wearing nothing but Ame's dressing gown, "Well, one reason." Ame smiled.
"Er... hi Amy." Luc walked over to Ame, kissed him and asked, "Need a hand with anything?"
"I'll leave you to it, I'm going up to the roof to see if it's okay." Amy waved and left.
On the roof, the flowers Tikal tended were blooming, and it only took minimal tidying before Amy considered it fit to use. She was soon joine by Luc and Ame, Luc carrying the fuel for the barbeque, and Ame supervising.
"Wow, who takes care of up here?" Luc asked, it was his first time up there. He was dresse now, in a shocking blue shirt, and yellow jogging bottoms. He placed the bags next to the BBQ, and looked around.
"Tikal, it's a hobby of hers. She does a good job, huh?" Amy told him.
"I'll go finish the cold stuff, and whip up some breakfast too. Luc, can you get the BBQ started?" Ame asked.
"Sure thing, but i'm not sure I can light it."
"Well, it wont take long to get sorted, I'll be back up soon."
Tikal left the elevator as Ame entered. She wore the same as the day before. Smiling, she watered her flowers. Seeing Luc she was puzzled for a moment, until Amy put in,
"He spent the night with Ame, cute huh?"
"You weren't wearing that yeaterday, were you?" Tikal asked him.
"No, I keep a few things downstairs at Ame's, just in case. I've also been roped into helping today." Luc explained.
"Oh, the party, it should be fun." She continued with her routine. Amy decided she needed to get ready, so excused herself, and went back to her apartment to put her face on.
At 8:30 Fenrir was outside Horatio's door, dressed in his work uniform/suit [its all he realy has]. He was waiting to be called in. The door opened, and he went inside.
"Shall I continue where I left off?" Horatio said when Fenrir was seated. Seeing his aides nod, he continued to recall his past.
We spent the rest of the holiday with each other, acting as friends when others were around, not that it mattered to me, but I didn't want him knowing about my power. Each night, however, we spent in each others arms. Sometimes we slept, enjoying the feel of one another, the closeness, the smells. At other times, we made love, and on a few occasions, it was wild, passionate sex.
The best of these was two [see, 2] days after our first night together. We both wanted a purely physical experience for that one night. Agreeing to this, our inhibitions, and our clothes, were discarded for that one night. More familiar with each others bodies, we knew what we liked. I took charge, and began kissing him, tracin down his chest, past his navel, and onto his crotch.
Taking his full length in my mouth, I pleasured him, by gentle sucking, touching, licking, his hands wove into my hair. Suddenly, his body tensed, and he released in my mouth. Swallowing his bitter-sweet seed, I moved up his body, until we were face to face again.
"You ready?" I asked him.
"Yes," he said breathlessly. He rolled over beneath me, and lifted his ass slightly. Entering him slowly, he moaned with pleasure, and I quickly fell into a rythm. Aroused to such an extent by the foreplay, it wasn't long before I climaxed. Pulling out, I wrapped my arms around him, and we both rolled onto our sides.
"I'm falling in love with you," I whispered to him, but he was already asleep. Things couldn't be better, and when that is true, they can only go bad.
Looking at the clock, Horatio said,
"Looks like its almost time for the meeting, I have to get ready." Leaving Fenrir, Horatio began last minute preperations.
The party was about to start, the team had arrived, all in uniform, and had began doing routines, Luc was taking care of the BBQ, Amy and Rouge were a major part of the human [and anthropomorph] pyramid, Knuckles, in his standard leathers, and Sonic, in a thin white shirt and green shorts, were trying to set Loki up with half of the squad, Loki, in smart black jeans, and a Simpsons 'Worst Party Ever!' shirt, and Tikal, who hadn't changed, were talking to D, who wore a black mini dress, and Mina, who was in a red, white and blue track suit.
Tails, in grey shorts and an orange shirt, and Klonoa, in blue shorts, a white t-shirt, and a red sleevless jacket, helped Ame finish taking things to the roof.
"These the last plates?" Tails asked.
"Not quite, you take those, Klonoa, can you wait a sec?" Ame asked.
"Shouldn't I help Tails?" The rabbit-boy inquired.
"I'm fine," Tails was already out of the door, "Help Ame."
One he had left, Ame walked out of the kitchen carrying three plates and a bowl with ease. Putting these down, he wiped his hands, the casually said,
"You take the bowl, and the low-cal muffins, I'll get the mixed chocs and the fruit slices. Oh yeah, if you like Tails, go for it."
"Wha..?" Klonoa didn't know how to respond, "I don't like Tails, I mean I do like him, I mean..." seeing Ame wasn't buying tis he said, "Is it that obvious?"
"You dote on him, I notice these things. If you don't want Amy to notice, don't stare so much."
"Will you tell him?" Klonoa had gone shy.
"It's up to you to do that, but I still say go for it." Grabbing two [2 again] of the plates Ame got to the door and said, "You coming?"
"Sure, let me get the stuff." Leading the way to the lift, Ame had to smile as Klonoa asked, "Do I really stare that much?"
With the food almost ready, Luc shouted for everyone to gather round. The cheerleaders wee in a world of their own, excepy Rouge, who had snuck off to sit with Knux. Luc sent Klonoa to get their attention. While walking over, he herd Ame whisper something to his boyfriend, but he didn't catch what. Arriving at the cheerleader group, the converstation went,
"Like, really? Wow."
"Like no way!"
"Get out!"
"You can't mean that!"
"Uh-huh!"
Loki wanderd over to Klonoa and said,
"What are those girls talking about?"
"Well, erm... Oh whatever," Amy shouted at him.
"I hate to break up this riveting conversation, but the food is ready."
"Yay, we were getting hungry anyway."
Everyone lined up for food, but Luc 'accidently' dropped a burger on Klonoa's shirt.
"Oh, sorry." he said.
"You can't wear that now," Ame put in, "Tails, have you got a spare that'd fit him?"
"Sure, I'll drop his in the washing too. C'mon, Klonoa"
"Subtle sweetie." Ame whispered to Luc as the boys went downstairs. They came back up quickly, with Klonoa wearing one of Tails' tops. "But, not enough," Ame finished.
Returning from the meeting, Horatio was in god spirits. This was soon quashed as he returned to his story.
I soon found that Loki was to leave the school. I realise now that I became distant, but I had to think. I did come up with a plan, but it wasn't a good one. I wanted to keep him with me, so I'd make sure he had nowhere else to go. Knowing I could do it, I spoke to a lacky.
"You want me to be happy, right?" he nodded, "Then you'll do anything to make sure I am?" again a nod, "Then lay down your life for me. A car will soon come, kill all inside it, crash another car into it."
He did exactly as I commanded, and he died along with Loki's parents. I went to see Loki late in the day, and he was dispondant. I implored hm to stay, but he said he couldn't. In my anger, I tried to control him, it was a last desperate attempt, but all in vain. I let certain things slip, he probably guessed my plan. That night, he left, and I hadn't seen him again until yesterday.
Horatio was on the verge of crying. Fenrir tried to comfort the one he loved, by hugging him. Recovering himself, Horatio puled away.
"You wont tell anyone any of this, and if you do, you will disappear, and no-one will ever dare say you existed. Leave me."
"Yes Horatio." Fenrir left, barely able to hold back his own tears. He hated this 'Loki' now, and would do whatever it took to get rid of him, once and for all.
With the party almost over, Ame had started to clear up, taking all the washing up back to his apartment. Ame, Loki and Luc started the nessacary buisness of cleaning, well, Ame and Loki did, while Luc was channel surfing at Ame's rquest, to find the news.
"Why you wanna see the news anyway?" Loki asked.
"I've had a felling of foreboding all today, as if something is on it's way, that will cause terrible trouble. I'm hoping I'm wrong, or it's just a storm, but I doubt it." Ame sighed. Knowing not t dispute Ame's 'felings', Loki said,
"Hey, we can handle anything as a team, right?"
A knock sounded at the door.
"Get that will you Luc, my hands are wet." Ame shoute, thinking it was one of Amy's friends loking for a bathroom.
"Hi, can I help you?" he heard Luc say, "Amethyst? Yeah, why do you want to see him?" The plate Ame was holding dropped from his fingers and shattered on the floor when he heard the visitor reply,
"To wish him a Happy Birthday," in a loud familiar voice.
"Sapphire..." he breathed in response.
E-mail Ame.
