Four years ago...
"Yuu please! Just go...I'm...done for..." Mikaela's breaths were growing more shallow and his vision started to blur, as tears spilled from his eyes and down his cheeks.
He watched Yuichiro run down the long corridor and he smiled weakly. "I know you'll make it Yuu..." As he started to cough, Mikaela glanced over at where his now detached arm was. He didn't feel any pain where it had been torn off, just a numbing sensation.
"My my, aren't you a strong one? Not like the others I see..." The man walked up to the boy and chuckled, bending down and lifting him up by the neck. "I could snap your neck like a twig and not think twice about it."
Mikaela choked, trying to get a bit of air into his lungs. His will to live was gone. As was his family. He looked over the vampire's shoulder, at the bodies that belonged to his family. They had all been slaughtered mercilessly because of him. Tears sprang to his eyes and he looked down at the vampire. This was his punishment and he deserved every bit of it. Feeling the vampire's grip on him tighten, Mikaela's eyes started to flutter and his body went limp.
"Hmm? Are you dead?" Ferid pulled the boy back down and did the unthinkable. He held him in his arms and gently stroked his hair. "I did grow rather fond of you, didn't I?" Letting out a rather exasperated sigh, he said, "I've already broken the law once, why not break it again?" He bent down and laid Mikaela's body out flat on the floor. He bit into the side of his cheek with his fangs and soon tasted what was his own blood. "You shall be my partner for the rest of eternity." Ferid bent down even lower and slowly placed his lips over the boy's.
Surprisingly, the boy became responsive and Ferid had to hold him down. "Shush now! This is for your own good! Would you rather die?"
For the first time in Ferid's life, he felt regret for putting this boy through such a tragedy. He didn't regret killing those children, goodness no. That was just too much fun. He just wished that Mikaela hadn't of been there and witnessed it.
What was wrong with him? Was his humanity coming back? Impossible...
He did know one thing though, this boy had changed him.
Present day...
Mikaela frowned as he walked down the hallway. He had just came back from a long lecture with Krul. She offered him her blood and he had declined.
Not having blood for over ten days was starting to get to him though. He wheezed, having to stop and lean against the wall momentarily. His vision blurred a bit and he could feel a headache slowly coming on. He groaned, just wanting to get back to his room already.
He should be technically going to Ferid for blood, since he was the one that had 'saved' him. At least that's his side of the story. Mikaela didn't call it saving. He didn't call it anything, except for the vampire being selfish and wanting him to keep him around for his own entertainment.
He didn't go to Ferid anymore for blood, because he was trying to avoid him. He was starting to feel different emotions towards the other male and it was confusing him. Mikaela had hated Ferid for so many years...he thought that was the way it would always be. Now though...
Having been lost in his thoughts, Mikaela wasn't watching where he was going and ended up walking into someone. "My apologies..."
"I was actually just coming to see you." It was a voice that Mikaela knew all too well. "Ferid?" His head snapped up and he looked into the scowling face of the man that he had hated for so long.
