83 Club Death and a Lord Returns

Silas's POV:

"Silas," I heard Lyle's sweet voice by my ear. I felt him shaking me awake then. "Silas, wake up." I could still feel the sun was up for day. I groaned and opened my eyes.

"What are you doing? The sun is up!" I grabbed him then and yanked him into the bed, curling up to him. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.

"Worrying. The maids came into my room and told me Sylar and Colsin are missing... Their car is gone from the garage."

"I think they went out for a date or something.... I heard Killian mention it before he went off with my son somewhere," I mumbled to him and woke up a little more. Missing still? "Maybe they went to the castle.... Have you called Sylar?"

"No I haven't tried calling him... I thought you'd know something... Do you think I should worry?"

"Yeah... he's not back and it's daylight.... They either ran off, went back to the castle, or they're in trouble," I told him and started to sit up. I looked over towards Rei and shook him a bit. "Rei, baby, something's up." Rei groaned and looked over at us before smirking.

"Someones in our bed..... Are you our new cuddle buddy?" Rei snatched Lyle into a hug and smiled. "Whatcha doing little boy?"

"I'm a man," Lyle told him.

"When you have kids," Rei told him. I laughed a little.

"One of my brothers hasn't made it home since the sun has come up," I told Rei softly. "We're worried."

"Could you call the alpha back home?" Lyle asked and pouted softly. "Maybe he knows something." I nodded and reached for my phone on the night stand, dialing the number up then put the phone up against my ear. It picked up rather quickly.

"Hello? What's up?" The alpha asked.

"Hey, has Colsin or Sylar turned up?" I asked him curiously.

"Nope, not that I know of. Colsin hasn't called though. He normally calls me at dawn to let me know he's fine." I frowned then and looked towards Lyle.

"He hasn't?"

"No... why? Is something wrong?"

"Just keep an eye out, would you?" I asked him softly and hung up then sat my phone down. What happened? Colsin suddenly broke a habit of calling his alpha? Sylar hasn't come back? I shivered then as I started to fear something happened to them while they were out on the town. "Colsin hasn't called his alpha like he normally does," I whispered. "I think something happened to them...." What if they're dead?! The last conversation I would've had with my brother would've been him smacking my hand and us leaving each other upset! I started to tremble and felt tears slipping down my face as I began to cry. Lyle grabbed my hands then and gave them a squeeze.

"Let's go ask Laurence if he's seen something," Lyle suggested. "Or if he can look into it for us." I nodded and hiccupped as I held onto him tightly and started to crawl out of the bed with him. I buried my face into his shoulder and squeezed his hands. Oh my lord... They might be dead.... Rei frowned and got up quickly.

"It's still dawn. Let me go first so I can clear any paths of light to Laurence's room," he suggested and walked out of the room first. I looked after my mate and looked up at Lyle.

"L-Lyle... what if they're dead? I had a fight with Sylar right before he left," I whispered to him, my voice barely coming out as I sniffled.

"I don't think they're dead. Sylar is our brother. He's a lot stronger than you think. Hell... who would mess with him? He's got a cool power. I just think he's probably hung over in a hotel room..." He trailed off then. I nodded and then spotted one of my kids standing in the doorway, holding her little teddy bear.

"Mommy," Echo mumbled tiredly and walked towards me. I looked at her and quickly wiped at my tears, not wanting her to see me crying.

"Hey baby," I whispered and picked her up into my arms. "What are you doing up?" She kissed my cheek and wrapped her arms around me.

"I heard someone crying," she mumbled to me and yawned. "It'll be okay mommy...." I tightened my grip on her then and buried my face into her. She has no clue what's going on... and she's trying to comfort me.... What did I do to deserve such sweet children?

"Yeah sweetie," Lyle purred and kissed the top of her head. "Everything is okay. Why aren't you in bed silly? You're letting your brother hog up all the covers." She giggled and looked towards Lyle.

"Uncle Lion!" She giggled and reached for him then. I laughed a little and pulled away from her neck then kissed her head, handing her over to her uncle.

"It's uncle Lyle," Lyle corrected and laughed. "Want me to take you to bed?" He asked. "We've got some business to take care of that only adults can do."

"What's an adult?" She asked him innocently. I smiled and ruffled her hair.

"An old person," I told her.

"I'm old!" She giggled and gave us a huge smile.

"No, you're a young person," I told her. "Young people go to bed when it's their bedtime. Come on, let's get you back in bed before your dad finds out and he gets upset." Lyle laughed and carried her straight off for her bedroom she was sharing with her twin. I followed them quickly and walked into the room, watching as she curled up to her twin in their bed as Lyle tucked them in. "You should find a way to have your own kids," I whispered to him and smiled softly. "You'd make a great dad."

"I rather take care of these little guys," Lyle purred and looked back at me. "Besides.... I have Sylar to take care of... He's enough." I nodded and watched as my little girl managed to get in her twin's arms and started to fall asleep again. I smiled and then looked at Lyle, holding out my hand for him.

"Let's leave them be so she doesn't get back up," I whispered and pulled him out of the room, shutting the door softly behind us. I looked up at him then kissed his cheek before I started to lead him to Laurence's room. I knocked on it when I reached it then went in, finding Toru curled up on Laurence's chest in his fox form. He twitched his ears as he heard the door shut and picked his head up, looking towards us then snuggled up to Laurence and slowly crawled into his shirt where it was warm.

"Laurence," Lyle said as he knocked against the wall. Laurence groaned and opened his eyes slowly before looking at us.

"Lyle? Silas?" He asked.

"Hey Laurence," I said softly and walked over to his bed, I sat down on the edge of it and gave him a shaky smile. Toru poked his head out of the top of Laurence's shirt and laid his ears back. Lyle walked up and sat down with me.

"Are you okay?" Laurence asked and grabbed my hand. I shook my head no and gave Laurence's hand a squeeze.

"Do you know where my brother is?" I asked him worriedly. "Sylar? He hasn't returned, and he had gone somewhere with his mate...." Laurence's eyes gazed off for a few seconds before he tensed at my touch and started to cry.

"Colsin," he whispered. Oh my lord.

"What happened?" I asked quickly, feeling a pang at my crystal. Toru yipped at Laurence and crawled out of his shirt, going up to his face to comfort him as he laid by his head and nuzzled his soft fur into Laurence's cheek then licked at his tears. Laurence squeezed my hand then and grabbed Lyle's hand.

"Your brother is taking him to his pack... A terrible thing happened. There were these two girl hunters that meant to shoot Sylar but they hit Colsin.... He didn't make it. Sylar is currently in a hotel, sleeping for the day until dusk so he can continue the drive to the pack." He gave a sad smile then. "He's not doing good right now." I widened my eyes. Colsin... died. After Sylar opened up to him and moved on from me, fate ripped his mate away! I felt anger boiling up in my chest then and I clenched my jaw as sorrow hit me underneath it.

"Lyle... I want the hunters dead," I growled. "I want them at Sylar's feet." Toru looked at Laurence with wide eyes and laid his ears back.

"Colsin is dead?" He asked quietly.

"There is a group of wolves hunting them down right now. I already know who they are. I've seen them before. They were the ones that killed Jack's maker." Laurence rubbed Toru's head then. I looked towards Lyle then. That's Milo's fledgling....

"We should look for the hunters," I muttered to him. Toru whined and crawled into Laurence's lap. "Someone needs to go get Sylar as well- make sure he'll be alright. He might run off after he gets to Colsin's pack."

"We could get Mauri and Rei to go to his hotel," Laurence suggested. "They could help him get his mate to his pack then bring him back here for some support."

"No," I said quickly and shook my head. It'd be disastrous to send my mate to Sylar.... He's so angry still.... "Send Everest. She can do that. He'll respond more to Everest than he would my mate."

"True," Lyle whispered. "We'll go wake Everest up then and tell him what's happened. Text Silas the hotel's address and name so we can show Everest."

"Okay," Laurence whispered. Toru yipped and then got up, getting Laurence's phone off the night stand then returned to him, dropping it in Laurence's hands. He wagged his tail a little before he curled up to him. I smiled a little at the sight then shook my head. I hope Sylar will be okay.... Laurence started to text me the place then. Lyle grabbed my wrist and pulled me off to go wake up Everest. With Everest, our little brother will get the best care since they both have been mated to werewolves. Everest is who he needs right now. We went into her room, and I snuck over to her and woke her up. She sat up groggily and rubbed at her eyes.

"What is it?" She asked and groaned. "It's so early!"

"Everest, I need you to go to Sylar. Colsin was murdered," I told her softly. Her eyes widened into practically the size of the moon and she was out of bed quickly.

"Oh my lord! Colsin was killed!" She started to cry then. She rushed to her closet and got dressed before she ran back to the bed and yanked Neal out of it. I texted her the address and name, shaking a little.

"Could you please take care of Sylar for me? Make sure he's fine? He needs someone that can understand him much better than us, and we can't get to him quick enough anyways," I whispered. She looked at us and nodded before she hugged Neal tightly. Neal groaned as he rubbed his eyes.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked. "It's too early."

"Neal, Colsin was killed," she whispered to him. "Sylar is all alone by himself.... We need to go to him."

"Not Colsin. No.... He was a good kid," he mumbled. She nodded and sniffled.

"He was murdered, and Sylar is all alone with him. I'm going to go to him, and I want you to come with me, please.... I liked Colsin too. He was such a sweet wolf and was so loving to those around him. He didn't deserve to die...." I shook my head and looked away from them at those words. He really was....

"He was killed by hunters... jumping in the way to save Sylar from a bullet," I whispered to them. "Sylar is taking his body back to the pack."

"Okay. Yeah. Of course I'll come. Let's go now." Neal looked like he was waking up at the mention of what happened to Colsin. Everest nodded and pulled out her phone, checking the address then disappeared. This is just... awful.... I shook my head and then hugged Lyle tightly.

"Lyle, could you take me back to my room?" I asked him softly and buried my face into him. I can't believe that wolf is dead.... He nodded and started to lead me back to my room.

"Poor Sylar," he mumbled. "Colsin was supposed to die of old age..."

"He's going to have a hard time moving on," I whispered to him. "I wish there was something I could do... some way I could bring him his mate back...." I shook my head sadly and held onto him tightly.

"I don't think it's that easy," Lyle whispered. "No one has been know for coming back from death." I looked at him then with a funny look.

"Lyle."

"What?" He asked.

"Lyle. I. Died."

"You're a vampire," he told me and smirked. "You were still lingering around like little dust fairies."

"Still, I was brought back from the dead," I told him and frowned. "I know it won't be as easy though to try to bring back Colsin... but I want to at least try. I can ask Aurelio if it can be done... and if it can't, I won't tell Sylar that I tried."

"Okay. We'll try," he whispered. "Trying never hurt anything." We reached my bedroom door and he opened it for me. I looked inside it then looked at Lyle, tugging him in and over to the bed. I made him lay down with me and curled up to him.

"Stay with us?" I asked him, meaning Rei and me. I glanced over my shoulder towards Rei who was laying in the bed already. Rei had already fallen back to sleep. Lyle sighed and nodded, rubbing my head.

"Yeah. Just for today." Lyle gave me a loving look. I nodded and closed my eyes, falling asleep against him as I held onto him.

Laurence's POV:

I felt something yank me out of the bed then and felt a hand ripping my shirt open. I heard Toru yip in alarm as he was practically dropped from having me ripped out from under him. It was almost sundown.... I opened my eyes and glanced around in shock before finding Dominus. FUCK. "Oh- it's you." I smacked his hand away from my body. "You just tore up a perfectly good shirt!" He growled and shoved me down onto the bed.

"YOU STOLE MY SOULS! I KNOW YOU DID! GIVE THEM BACK, YOU BASTARD!" He shrieked at me, going for my crystal. Toru jumped at him quickly to protect me, biting his nose and snarling.

"Souls? I don't have them! They're gone if anything. You need to get over it," I laughed out and watched Toru being the best guard he could be. Dominus threw him across the room in anger, watching as Toru yelped as he hit a wall and fell to the floor, crumbling up. Calix appeared in the room then and frowned.

"Get lost. The souls belong to him now," Calix hissed at the Shinigami. "They escaped you."

"Demon," Dominus spat, looking angrily at Calix. "You knew what happened and you helped him get away before I could figure it out."

"Of course I did. When he dies, he'll taste so much better. He'll be a hundred souls, not just one." Calix smirked and winked. "Besides, I also liked feeding my previous deals to him so I could eat them earlier. Of course I nursed him back to health." I looked towards Toru with concern.

"Toru?" I asked. "Are you okay?" I went to his side, ignoring them since Calix was here. I could hear them getting into a heated argument behind me about the souls and who they belonged to in the end as I looked at Toru. He stirred a little and let out a small whimper, flicking his ears. He opened his eyes slowly and looked towards me before he shakily got to his feet then fell over, shaking his head to clear it then crawled on his belly to me. I picked him up before kissing the top of his head. I looked towards the boys behind me.

"HEY! Listen up! I am my own soul and I'm protecting these souls that have taken refuge in me. So if you two have a fucking problem with it, then I will get you new souls to replace what I stolen from you. Now don't hurt my little fox ever again!" I snarled. Dominus looked towards me then at the fox.

"It fucking bit me! He deserved that," he hissed. Calix shook his head quickly and held up his hands.

"You're going to get in trouble if you don't quit. That fox is a menace, and it's a protected menace," he warned the Shinigami. "Laurence isn't kidding."

"You attacked me so that's what you got in return," I hissed at Dominus. "Now maybe we can get you some souls to replace what I stole. Right Calix?" I asked and purred. Calix frowned.

"Why do I have to help you with that? You're the one who got on the plane," he told me. Dominus looked me over in consideration before he nodded.

"I'll accept a replacement batch of souls," he told me, calming down.

"You're helping me because in the end when I do die, you'll be getting them as well as me. So we're going to go find some replacement souls... Plus I don't think I can capture souls alone..." Calix sighed and nodded.

"I'll round up some souls then to give him," he muttered then disappeared. Toru trembled slightly as he licked at one of his paws, curling his tail around him in my arms.

"Or we could just make it to where when I die the souls I stole will go to you," I mumbled thoughtfully.

"I want my souls now though!" Dominus growled at me and sat on my bed. Toru growled at him then, laying his ears back. "I won't hesitate to punt you across the room, little fur bag." I rubbed Toru's head to comfort him.

"Look... I don't plan on dying soon so you won't get the souls I stole. You'll have to settle on the replacement souls. I don't think Calix is ready for me to die yet otherwise he'd let you kill me to get the souls." Calix reappeared then with a glowing jar and tossed it at the Shinigami.

"Get lost," he hissed at him. Dominus caught them and looked at them, pleased.

"Souls~!" He hugged the jar then and kissed it. Calix rolled his eyes and looked annoyed.

"Say thank you," I purred to Dominus. "My demon is a great guy after all."

"Pfft, I'm not telling him thank you. It's his fault in the first place for not turning you over to me as soon as he knew that the souls formed that little crystal in you. That is why your status was upgraded you know- because the souls made the crystal in you," Dominus told me and smirked.

"Yeah.... He mentioned something like that...." I looked towards Calix then. He walked over then and went to take Toru from me, looking a little concerned. I frowned and smacked his hand.

"Hey, this is my little bundle of fur." He growled at me then and picked Toru up by the scruff of his neck, making my little fox yelp. "Don't do that!" I hissed. He looked Toru over before he held him and started to look at his legs, inspecting them.

"I'm making sure he didn't fracture anything. He hit the wall pretty hard," Calix muttered. "I don't need you crying later when Toru figures out he's injured if he is."

"Will he heal faster than the average?" I asked curiously. "If he did?"

"Yeah, he's a spirit- a yokai. He'll heal fast if he did, but he'll heal slower than you would," he told me and ran his fingers over Toru's back. He shivered in Calix's arms when he touched a spot on him then yelped a little. Calix frowned and looked at the spot, starting to feel around it then continued. "It looks like he's going to have a few bruises, but he didn't fracture anything. He's got some tender spots though."

"He needs to stay in bed for the night," I mumbled. "Guess we'll stay here and watch movies tonight, Toru."

"I'm fine though," he whined and looked towards me, laying his ears back. He squirmed out of Calix's arms and jumped to the floor but his legs buckled and he fell onto his stomach. I leaned down and scooped him up before placing him on the bed.

"There we go. You stay there and try to heal up," I told him firmly. I looked towards Calix. "Thank you for giving him the souls."

"I'll get paid for it eventually," Calix told me and frowned. Dominus squealed in delight and kissed the jar before he ran off out of the room. Calix growled and went after him. "HEY! NO RUNNING AROUND THIS PLACE UNSUPERVISED! EMILE! GET THIS SHINIGAMI OUT OF HERE!" Toru looked up towards me before he crawled on his belly to the top of the bed and laid on my pillow. I looked towards the door, eager to make sure Dominus will leave here. I don't want him screwing up and hurting someone in the family. I saw Calix dragging Dominus by his ear past my room to go down the hall and get rid of him, looking pissed and disgusted. Dominus struggled to get away, looking angry to be handled like that. Toru laughed a little as he saw it and laid his ears back as he put his head down against the pillow. I watched the door before looking back at Toru.

"Are you okay?" I asked sweetly. He looked up at me and turned into his human form, crawling towards me.

"Uh huh, I'll be okay," he promised me and gave me a smile. I could see some bruises forming on his skin, mostly near his back where he had been hit on the wall. I looked towards the tv before grabbing a remote and putting a movie on for us to watch. We'll have to stay in bed tonight so he can heal. He pulled me down onto the bed with him and curled up to me, giving me a small kiss. "Did he hurt you?" He asked me softly, looking towards my chest. He gently touched over my crystal then before he looked up into my eyes.

"No... I think he hurt you more than me... I think I'll go find and put on a new shirt. Want me to grab you a kimono?" I asked as I slipped out of bed and went for the closet.

"Uh huh~ Can I have the red one with the bell on it?" He asked me sweetly as he curled up to my pillow.

"Of course~" I put on a new shirt and brought him his red kimono with the bell. I placed it down next to him and got back into the bed. He looked towards it and slipped it onto his shoulders before he tied it shut and crawled up to me, snuggling into my side. He purred happily and gave me a kiss before he looked towards the TV.

"I love you," he mumbled to me sweetly, laying his head on my chest.

"I love you too," I whispered to him and rubbed his head. "Make sure to heal up tonight, okay?" I asked.

"It's just some bruises," he told me. "I'll be healed in a couple of hours," he promised and looked up towards me. He kissed my cheek and purred. "Don't worry. I'm a tough fox."

"That's good," I told him. He nodded and then gave me a small kiss on my lips.

"Do you want some blood? I can call the maids to bring you some bottled blood or you can drink from me. I don't mind," he told me sweetly.

"I could use some bottled blood," I purred. "Could you call one?" He nodded and sat up, reaching towards the phone and picked it up, ordering some bottled blood for me before he laid down with me again and smiled softly. The door suddenly opened and Ross the dragon was in my bed, crawling up to me in a tiny dragon form.

"Laurence, I was wondering about my future," he purred to me.

"Oh yeah?" I asked and purred. "Which part?"

"Do I get to have kids with Toma?" He asked me, resting on my chest as he looked up at me hopefully. "Biologically that is? With little eggs and everything?"

"You know the future isn't always certain," I warned him. "Opinions can always change. Certain events can be lined but get flipped on split second decisions." He nodded.

"I just want to know if there is a way that I can," he purred to me. "I guess that should've been my question then- if it's even possible."

"You know there are some dragons that can make eggs magically," I told him. He tilted his head then.

"Yeah... but I don't think I'm one of those dragons, and I don't think Toma is either.... Could Aurelio actually be able to help me? I don't want to ask him and then him tell me no...."

"Well..." I hummed. "I suppose so. He is a magical being. I'm sure he could if he knew the right spells."

"If I was to go ask him, would he know the right spells?" He asked curiously.

"Of course he would." I rubbed Ross on the chin. "Are you wanting hatchlings so quickly?" He purred and melted at my touch, leaning into my hand.

"I just want to know~ I still haven't mated with Toma yet though, so I'm not going to talk to him about eggs until he takes me back into my treasure hoard...."

"Well did you find the answer you was looking for?" I asked him.

"Uh huh, I can ask Aurelio for help for sure," he purred and curled up on my chest, puffing out some smoke. "Wait, do you know when Toma is going to be done with the nest, or is that another thing that you don't know for certain?"

"Nope.... I don't know that one. He's still deciding." Ross purred and nodded before he looked towards Toru then fluttered his wings.

"Mkay.... I'll wait then to find out from him," he hummed out. "I want him to take his time after all...." He purred and nuzzled his head against my chest. "I miss my treasure hoard though."

"Just wait until you two mate," I teased. "You two might never leave it." He looked towards me then and purred.

"He'll make me leave it again. He'll want fish," he purred at me.

"I guess that would be a good reason to leave it," I mumbled. I rubbed his head then in small amusement. He purred loudly and leaned into my hand, fluttering his wings before he gave me a sweet look.

"Will you be apart of my hoard?"

"Your hoard?" I asked and laughed. "I thought I was in Toma's hoard."

"Uhmm.... Well... you belong in my hoard," he told me and purred.

"What will I tell Toma and my maker Silas?" I asked innocently.

"That I stole you."

"You just want to be a little bit more powerful. You're jealous of all the power Toma has," I teased him.

"Nuh uh! I have my jewel who has a wizard! No one else has a wizard that belongs to someone in their hoard!" He laughed then and puffed smoke at me. "I like you though. You pet my head and you can tell the future too. Plus you're fun."

"I'm fun?" I asked him and smirked. "I'll consider it...." I trailed. He brightened up at that and purred.

"Toru can be part of my hoard too~" He told me and laughed. "Let me go tell Toma that you're going to be part of my hoard~" I rubbed his head and smiled.

"Okay," I purred. "Go tell Toma." He got up and flew off the bed, flying off down the hall.

"TOMA! I'M TAKING TORU AND LAURENCE! THEY'RE JOINING MY HOARD!" He roared out to his mate. I looked towards Toru and leaned in for a kiss.

"WHAT!? STOP STEALING MY TREASURE!" Toma yelled. Toru purred and kissed me back.

"THEY WANTED TO!" Ross called out to Toma.

"YOU PROBABLY PERSUADED THEM!" Toma roared.

"YOU COULD GO ASK THEM~" He challenged.

"I DON'T HAVE TO! I ALREADY KNOW!"

"BESIDES! YOU'RE IN MY TREASURE HOARD- PART OF IT WHICH MEANS ALL YOUR TREASURE BELONGS TO MY TREASURE HOARD WHICH BELONGS TO ME~" Ross roared at him, laughing.

"ROAR!" I heard Lixue roaring.

Ross's POV:

I laughed as I landed outside my treasure room where Lixue was at and nuzzled her. "Rawr~!" I roared at her then licked her head before I started to nudge the door open to go in to see Toma.

"Don't come in here," Toma growled and I felt him sling himself against the door. Lixue purred sweetly next to me.

"Get him!" She cheered on. I looked at her and purred.

"Toma~! Open the door! You're part of my hoard!" I called out to him and gave a playful growl. I made myself a bit bigger and nudged at the door, managing to open it an inch.

"It's not ready," he complained. I stopped and groaned before I looked at Lixue.

"Fine~ I'll take Lixue fishing. How would you like to fly?" I purred at her, leaning down to the small Artic dragon and scooping her up into my jaws. Lixue chirped at me and squirmed a bit.

"Fish! I want some fish!" She told me. I purred to her and started to walk away from the treasure room. I'd hang out with a dragon who actually wants to hang out with me.

"Ross! It'll be ready by morning!" Toma told me. I looked towards the door and purred, setting Lixue down then decided to tease him.

"Who said I'd be ready by morning," I teased him then looked at Lixue, putting her on my back.

"FINE!" Toma roared. "Don't mate with me."

"Ooooo, you made Toma mad," Lixue whispered. Wait... what? I looked at the door then tilted my head.

"Toma," I whispered then walked back to the door. "You're not mad because I messed with you, right?" I purred at the door then. "You know I'll mate with you when you want me to. I've waited for you~ I picked you as my mate."

"You promise you're just teasing me?" He asked.

"Of course I was just teasing you," I purred to him. "I wouldn't not mate with you after all the hard work you put into this. Plus I marked you too~ If you want to mate with me, I'll mate with you," I promised him and nuzzled my head against the door with a purr. "I love you~"

"I love you too~ We'll mate while the majority of the house is asleep." He purred at the thought.

"I'm here you know," Lixue mumbled. I purred at her.

"We'll stick you in the farthest room from the treasure room," I purred at her then licked her head before I looked at the door. "Want me to dress up for you tomorrow~?" I asked him playfully.

"Yeah~! Look really good. I know I'm going to go take a well deserved oil bath."

"I want one!" Lixue yelled. I laughed a little.

"We'll get you a bath before I put you to bed," I told her and then looked at the door. "Come get me in the morning when you're ready for me," I purred at him then turned away from the door to go take Lixue fishing. Once I was outside, I flew above the trees and moved her into my talons so she wouldn't fall off my back. I purred at her and watched her reaction to being in the air. She looked down at the world in awe, her little ears were being blown by the wind. I laughed and then flew her to the sea, lowering myself above it and looked at the water, examining it for fish. She slipped through my talons and fell into the sea, letting out a rawr. I hovered above her and purred, watching her in amusement then landed in the sea.

"Do you like this?" I asked her sweetly. She chirped towards me before diving under. I purred and went after her, my underwater breathing activating as I went under the surface of the water. My scales started to glow slightly, lighting up the sea around us. I swam down a bit and looked around for fish before I darted after some and caught them, biting down into their flesh to kill them before they could get away. I think I'll bring some back to Toma as an offering for tomorrow.... He'd like that- an offering before I mate him to me completely....

I found her cold scales scrape up against my body as she went to me for warmth. I purred to her and then cupped my wings, making an air pocket for her and got her in it then closed it against my body where she could breathe and be warm. She purred and laid down next to my side. I could hear her chirp to me. I purred at her and started to catch a lot of fish, getting as much as I could carry before I got back into the sky and went to shore. I landed and let her down off my back, setting some of the fish down. "Eat up sweetie," I purred to her, feeding her some of the best ones I had caught.

She started to eat them, roaring at the ones that flipped next to her. I laughed in amusement and ate some of the ones I had kept, watching her closely and glancing around every few minutes to look and make sure there was absolutely nothing nearby that would try to snatch her from me. She finished off her fifth fish before curling up to a dead one next to her. I scooped her up then and got the rest of the fish up before I began to fly us back to the castle, holding onto her tightly.

When we got back to the castle, I took her inside and put the fish in the refrigerator. I rubbed her head in my human form as I finished up then took her upstairs to her bedroom and took her inside, getting an oil bath drawn for her. She perked up at the sound of the water. "Thank you Ross!" She licked my hand before slipping into the warm water. I smiled and put some of her oils into it.

"Of course cutie," I told her and got her a towel to use when she finished. "You deserve it," I purred to her and rubbed her head. "I'm going to go take a bath in Sera's bathroom, so goodnight," I told her softly and pulled away. I went to Sera's room and picked out tomorrow's outfit for myself- a pair skintight black jeans, silk boxers, and a white button up shirt. I laid it out to get dressed into then picked out some pajamas for myself and went over to the bathtub, drawing up a bath for myself then sunk into the water. I began to bath myself in rose scented soaps, wanting to smell my best for him tomorrow morning.

If I was going to mate with him after all, I wanted to be my absolute best. He's been preparing for this for so long.... I purred softly and sunk into the water up to my chin, looking at the bubbles that had formed around me and closed my eyes in content. I wonder what he's going to wear tomorrow.... Does he even know how to be sexy? I laughed slightly at the thought. He's seen me naked since he was little. I doubt he'll think much of me being naked.... I rinsed my body off and got out, drying myself off then rubbed some more rose scented lotion onto my skin to make it soften and look silky like. I smiled and then put my pajamas on before I went out to Sera's bed and crawled in it, curling up to get my beauty rest. She'd come in here and discover me in her bed, but that'd be okay....

I woke up, feeling Sera beside me in the bed. I purred slightly and got to my feet slowly, feeling excited. Today was the day. I was going to mate with Toma for the first time. I hope it isn't awkward.... It won't be right? It'll be my first time with a male... and his first time at all... and he's been hanging around me since he was four.... I blushed a little and walked into the bathroom where my things were and started to get dressed in them, zipping the pants up over the silk boxers and then buttoning my shirt up, leaving the top couple of buttons undone to show off my collarbones and a little bit of my chest.

I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled as I grabbed a hairbrush and started to do my hair, braiding it over my shoulder and put a hair bow in my hair to keep it from coming undone. I smiled and looked at the braid that reached down mid stomach and ran my fingers over it before I left the bathroom and walked out of Sera's room. I should go get Toma's food prepared.... Sushi? I laughed at the thought of how delighted he will be when I bring him sushi then went to the kitchen, preparing him a plateful then put it in the refrigerator to stay until he came for me. I walked out of the kitchen and went to the night room, laying down on the couch then turned on the TV to pass the time as I stretched my body out and ran my fingers over the braid in my hair absentmindedly. After a few minutes, I heard someone walk into the night room. A maid.

"Master Toma told me to find you and tell you that you're needed in the treasure room," she told me. I looked towards her and purred slightly.

"Alright, thank you," I told her and turned off the TV. I guess this is it.... I took a deep breath and got to my feet, going to the kitchen to fetch his sushi then went down to the treasure room, knocking softly on the door.

"Come in~" I heard Toma call. I looked myself over one more time to make sure I looked good before I opened the door slowly and went inside, shutting the door behind me. Toma had made a huge giant nest in the pile of gold with tons of gold threaded silk blankets, pillows, and sheets. There was a tray here and there on the edges of the nest with little bottles of oils, some trays having glasses and water, and some having little fruits on them. He was laid out in the middle of the nest, snuggling up to a pillow and drinking a glass of water. He had took a bath recently in an oil that put a gold shine to his skin. He didn't bother much with clothes. He had on a gold kimono with one of his legs exposed. "Ross~" He purred. I purred back to him and looked him over. He really did make the nest a lot bigger and more comfortable looking. I walked over to the nest and got in it.

"I brought you an offering," I purred to him, setting it down beside him. "I thought you would like some sushi with fresh fish in it that I caught yesterday." I smiled towards him and glanced him over, loving how the gold oil shined on his skin.

"You're the best~" He moaned out as he snatched a bite and started to eat it. "I might have to lock you in here for longer than what I was planning." I purred to him then and smiled.

"What kind of mate would I be if I didn't bring you an offering?" I told him then ran my fingers over my braid before I laid down and looked around the nest with approval. I purred softly and nuzzled my head against the pillow before I looked towards him to watch him enjoy the sushi I fixed for him. He fed me one and gave me a sweet look. I moaned slightly at the taste and chewed it slowly before I swallowed it. He ate about half of what I offered before he leaned in and gave me a kiss. I purred to him and kissed him back. "Are you done eating my love?" I asked him softly and looked up into his eyes.

"I'm ready to eat you," he husked out before he looked over my outfit. I blushed a little at that. Never mind... he can be sexy. I purred to him and sat up, taking the sushi and putting it on the edge of the nest before I gave him a kiss. He leaned into the kiss and pushed me onto my back. He crawled onto my body and gave a small growl. I blushed and kissed him a little deeper as I found my back pressed up against pillows. I didn't expect to be on the bottom... but I don't mind.... I wrapped my arms around him then pulled back from his lips, going to his neck where I gave him small kisses.

He started to kiss towards my neck as well, copying my movement. I laughed a little then, guessing he was trying to learn what he could... or maybe he just wanted to go to my neck too.... I started to give him a love bite under his chin where he loved to be rubbed, purring to him. He moaned and melted on top of me instantly. I smirked against his skin and leaned into his jaw a little more, running my tongue against his skin as I sucked on it a little harder. I knew he'd like that~! He gasped and gripped my body, pulling me closer. I gave it a small kiss before I licked it again and started to focus on that area some more, purring to him then gave him another love bite. He moved in between my legs and placed his hands under my shirt to run his fingers against my bare skin.

I gasped and moved back from his neck, looking up at him with a slight blush as he slipped his hands under my shirt. I moaned slightly and leaned my head back against the pillow, purring happily and stretched out for him. He leaned in towards my neck, beginning to lick it while he slipped out of his kimono. Suddenly he was his dragon form and he bit down firmly into my skin before marking me. I gasped and let out a sharp moan under him, trembling a little as his sharp teeth bit down into my skin. I moaned again and leaned my head back into the pillows, melting under him.

"Toma~!" I moaned out, feeling his hot breath against my skin.

"Ross~" He purred back as he started to lick my neck. "I love you." I moaned softly and ran my fingers along his scales, caressing his body. I could feel a longing desire deepening in me from his mark, completing the bond I had created in him as we both carried each other's marks now. I kissed the side of his head and purred to him, nuzzling my face against him. He transformed into his human form then and stared me in the eyes. I purred to him and leaned in to kiss him quickly, wanting a passionate one.

He leaned into the kiss, deepening it for us and started to part my lips with his tongue. I moaned softly and opened up my mouth for him, letting his tongue into my mouth as I ran my fingers through his hair then pulled him deeper into the kiss and laid my head back on the pillow. He pulled back from the kiss and started to pull off my clothes. I blushed and let him take my shirt off, kissing his neck to keep his attention. He laughed and left my side, going for some of the oils before coming back to me and placed a pile of rose scented oil on my chest.

He sat the bottle down and started to rub the oil on me. I moaned and laid back in pleasure at the feel of the oil on me, letting him rub it into my skin. Oils~ I purred happily and closed my eyes as I focused on the feel and smell of the oil. He looked me in the eyes as he rubbed the oils on then started to slide my tight jeans down my legs. I blushed and looked down at what he was doing quickly. Is he going to rub oil on my legs? He smirked as he caught me watching him. "Yes?" He asked.

"N-nothing," I whispered and blushed a deeper shade of red. I didn't know he was going to be like this.... I was expecting top when I came down here.... I didn't realize he could be sexy like this... and dominate. He's younger than me too.... He gave me a sweet smile before reaching down with his oiled hands and grabbed my feet, beginning to massage them. I moaned and melted into the nest, soft moans escaping me as he hit pressure points. Oh... my... dragons! My previous mate never touched my feet... or my body in this way~! I don't think she ever rubbed oils into my skin like this~!

Oh my dragons, Toma is so amazing~! I'm never letting him go.... He let out an amused purr as he ran his fingers up to my ankles. I moaned to him again and leaned my head back into the pillow, a loud purr rumbling through my chest. He started to kiss up one leg, going across my inner thigh as he went up and moved his body between my legs, trailing kissing. He made his kisses up to my lips before he smirked. He slowly started to grind his oiled body against mine. I gasped and bit back another moan, kissing him quickly as I felt his slicked up body against mine. I instinctively opened my legs up a bit wider for him, giving him more room to move against me.

He leaned in and started to kiss me passionately. I moaned and licked his bottom lip, tilting my head to deepen the kiss and slipped my tongue into his mouth. He captured my tongue and started to suck on it. I leaned my head back against the pillow and melted under him, moaning softly and stretched out under him and arched my back. He trailed his kisses down to my neck and moaned against me. I purred to him and ran my fingers down his back then towards his butt, giving it a squeeze. He groaned in my ear before purring.

"Top or bottom?" He asked.

"I don't mind," I told him and kissed his cheek. "I want to make this best for you. You pick what you want," I purred to him and nibbled at his ear.

"We'll trade off," he promised. I nodded and kissed his lips sweetly.

"Here~" I whispered and snuck my hand to his front. I'd pleasure him a little before I let him have top for now. I reached down to his manhood and brushed my hand up against it. He blushed a little and leaned in to kiss me. I kissed him passionately and then gripped him downstairs. I purred to him as I rubbed my hand up against him, sneaking one of my legs over his waist. He let out a gasp, moving me on top for the beginning of our mating ritual.

Laurence's POV:

I leaned in and gave Toru a kiss on the cheek, watching his sleeping form curl up to a pillow I placed down to replace me. I left him in my room to go in search for Calix. Having realized I never actually got to look at the contract I signed. I heard moans coming from the room he was staying in and the sound of handcuffs rattling against a headboard. I widened my eyes as I realized he was probably in there with Emile. EWE! EW! EW! I can hear it! "YUK!" I ran off down the hall to put distance between the door and myself. I'll have to find him later when he's not having sex with Emile. I started for the kitchen to get an extra bottle of blood for the night instead. "Omg," I grumbled.

"Did you want something," I heard Calix ask from behind me. "You better make it quick. Emile's waiting for me." I turned around to face him.

"Could I see the real contract we share between us? I want to look it over." He raised an eyebrow and then held out his hand, a small flame appearing that turned into my contract with him. He tossed it to me and leaned against a counter.

"You suddenly have an interest in it, huh?" He purred at me.

"Well I was laying there and realized I never did read it," I mumbled. I opened it up to check out the fine print. It basically stated that upon my death, he'd be allowed to do whatever he pleased with my soul, even eat it, in exchange for my immediate freedom from the asylum. He owed me nothing more, not even having to take care of me after he freed me. He owned my soul for eternity, even while I lived, but he couldn't take it till I died, so I couldn't sell my soul to anyone else, and if I tried, it would mean the immediate collection of my soul from Calix. The rest was scribbled in some kind of language I couldn't read. "Calix?" I asked. "What's the gibberish at the bottom?" I asked. "I don't understand it," I walked up to him and pointed to it. He looked at it and read it over.

"Oh, that's demon language," he hummed out. "I like to put it all in demon as well, and it also says that this will uphold in the court of demons, so if someone tries to take you from me, they can't. Your soul belongs to me unless I revoke this contract," he purred at me. "It also elaborates on some points, explaining the conditions of what dead is and what not. For instance, if you fall into a coma that lasts more than six months, I get to take your soul," he told me and smirked.

"What? But I wouldn't be dead... just in a coma!" I glared him down. "That's not fair."

"Don't get in a coma then for six months," he purred at me. "If it's medically induced, that's different though. Just a natural coma. I don't like waiting around on my souls when they're on life support for possibly the rest of their lives when it's a natural coma. They may never wake up and die anyways, so I give them the grace period of six months to wake up or else I take their soul."

"If I end up in a coma for six months, we're not going to be finished when you take my soul. I'll annoy you until you eat me!" I told him and gave him the contract back, hitting him on the chest with it. "I'll make sure to haunt you after you eat me!" He laughed then and smirked.

"Is this all you wanted?"

"I guess so," I mumbled and sighed. "Go back to Emile." I looked towards the fridge and walked up to it, grabbing a bottle of blood.

"Alright~ EMILE~ YOU BETTER STILL BE HOT FOR ME!" He called out and disappeared. I hope Emile tells him 'too late'. I heard someone walk into the kitchen and smelled Milo.

"Hey," he said sweetly and walked up to the refrigerator, getting a bottle of blood. "Good night," he purred to me and took a sip of his bottle. "Have you been up long?"

"Yeah, I have. Toru is resting in bed. He kinda got hurt earlier... but he's going to be okay." I gave him a sweet smile. He nodded.

"Well, I'm glad he is going to be okay.... What happened to him though?" He asked me with concern as he sipped on his bottle of blood.

"Well long story short, a grim reaper was pissed after Toru bit him and so he threw him into a wall. Everything is okay now." He winced and rubbed his chest.

"Ouch, he didn't go through the wall, did he? Walls hurt!" He shook his head. "Poor guy...."

"No. He didn't go through the wall. He just got a few bruises out of it. He should be fine by morning." He nodded then.

"Want me to make him something then? Like a rice bowl so he can eat and get better?" He purred thoughtfully. "Or would you rather take care of him? I don't mind helping."

"He'll be fine," I told Milo and rubbed his head. "Don't worry too much. I think we should be more worried for Sylar."

"Sylar? What happened to him?" He asked me and frowned.

"Colsin died," I told him softly. Lyle never returned to his room so Milo wouldn't know.... Until I just told him. Milo's eyes widened then.

"Colsin... died?!" A look of grief overcame him then. "I don't believe it.... How could he have died?! He was so young! He was safe here too! He wasn't even hunting, so it couldn't have been a hunting accident, and there weren't any attacks on the castle!"

"Colsin and Sylar went out to town. They went to a local supernatural bar. Twin hunters were going to shoot Sylar but Colsin got in the way.... He didn't make it after that. Lyle and Silas are in Silas' bedroom. Everest was sent to go check in on Sylar since he's taking his mate to his pack. Colsin wasn't that young anyways. He was reaching a decent age. I think he died an heroic death." Milo sniffled then and looked at the ground.

"He was still young... to die. I'm glad Sylar is alive at least.... Colsin didn't die for nothing if his mate lived," he mumbled and rubbed at his eye. "I didn't expect for him to die so soon though. He was always so lighthearted and fun to be around!"

"Yeah... Tough," I mumbled. "We see death all the time though as vampires. Hell, I was dead center of a plane crash not long ago. It was one hell of a ride." He looked up at me then and nodded.

"Yeah... I guess I'll see more death, huh?" He whispered. "I can't even die of old age. I'll end up dying a painful death when it comes time...."

"That's the price of eternity," I told him and walked up towards the fridge. "Hell, when I die I'll still have a certain period of hell before Calix eats me." He winced.

"No offence, but I'd hate to be you," he told me and took a sip of his drink. "A devil after your soul sounds like one of the scariest things that could ever happen to someone."

"It's not that bad," I sighed out. "Especially when you can see death coming. You can avoid it." He nodded and finished his bottle of blood before he threw it in the trash.

"Is Lyle doing okay? I mean, handling that his brother's mate died?"

"I think he's doing fine. He's holding in there with Silas," I purred. "Don't be so worried. You should go to them." He nodded before he walked up to me and gave me a hug then walked out of the room quickly to go find his lover and his lover's brother/sister. I purred as I went back to Toru to make sure he was doing fine with healing and wasn't being bothered by anyone who might be looking for me.
