It was getting late and Severus was finding it hard to resist his lovers much longer. He leaned in and murmured to Carlisle that it was time for them all to rest. He nibbled on Carlisle's ear softly, silently telling the ancient vampire that there would be a reward for following the subtle command.
Esme crept up on Carlisle's other side; she had missed her lover as well and agreed "Yes…I think we should all go to bed."
Carlisle felt his resolve melting "Y-yes of course…" he murmured, his eyes glowing with need.
"I think that it might be best if our guests were escorted to their rooms to rest." Carlisle announced trying his best to remain as cool as usual, but the smirks of his children told him that it was useless. It was after all, difficult, to hide much from vampires.
Jasper smiled as he volunteered to show Harry to his room. He just happened to choose the room closest to his own "I'm right next door if you need anything." He paused as if he wanted to add something, then thought better of it and instead said "Good night Harry."
Harry nodded to the vampire, still wary of him and his ability to control emotions. He gave a small hesitant smile back as he entered his room and close the door, casting a ward on it out of habit. He was drained and made his way to the unfamiliar bed, barely managing to change into his night clothes as he drifted off to sleep. It would be later that night that Harry realized he never had cast a silencing spell.
"Here you go, it's all yours." Emmett said proudly as he showed Draco his room. Edward had managed to slip away again and Alice insisted on showing Remus to his room. Carlisle and Esme escorted Severus straight to their bedroom and so Emmett and Rosalie were left to show Draco where he would be staying.
Draco looked over the room and nodded, it was acceptable. Of course this house had met his standards so far and he doubted it would fail them any time soon. Rosalie smiled, at least he has taste, she thought.
She looked over at Emmett who was acting remarkably like a puppy around Draco, even if he hadn't noticed it himself. She shook her head, he was a brainless oaf but that was part of his charm. She remembered Alice saying that the visitors would be 'fun' she wondered if this change in her partner was part of that.
Draco turned and gave a cool polite smile "Thank you very much" He murmured to both of them, giving them an added "Goodnight" Before he closed the door believing their conversation to be done.
Emmett just stood there looking at it as if confused for a moment before he was dragged off by Rosalie "Come one you big brute." She muttered rolling her eyes indulgently. She knew that Alice was right; things were going to get very interesting around here.
Alice bounced excitedly "Here's your room Remus!" She of course had made sure he had the closest on to her, not that he would think anything of that for a while yet. She briefly wondered to herself why she always picked the difficult ones before focusing her attention back to Remus.
Remus smiled at the bouncing girl "Thank you." He said kindly as he entered and began to unpack. Alice watched from the door way before going to her own room. Her mind was distracted by all of the paths that were unfolding that she missed the vision that came to warn her of an event later in the night.
Severus moaned as both Esme and Carlisle pounced on him as soon as they were in the bed "Ahhh you two…." He muttered moaning indulgently as his clothing was stripped from him at the speed of light. His response was husky laughter as Carlisle crawled up his body and claimed his mouth as Esme moved to the lower parts of his body.
"You've not touched anyone since you came last?" Esme asked as she looked over his body noticing sadly all of the new scars that were on his form. They only made him more attractive to her, reminding her how delicate this determined man could be. She leaned down and kissed several of the newer ones, wishing she had been there to protect him.
Carlisle too had noticed how battered his lover had become and bared his fangs "I can't stand this anymore, the war is over and you are out of danger…please…let us change you?" His demanded ended at a plea. He usually saw 'the change' only as a last resort; however the calm collected doctor lost his control at the sight of his lover's scars.
Severus stilled as he looked up with dark eyes at Carlisle his husky voice reminded them of the damage he had suffered. "I will willingly join…but I ask not tonight. I don't think I could handle the change while my body was still in pain from the war…"
This soothed his two lovers and Carlisle smiled warmly and said "Well then..." He ground their hips together and Esme gave them each kisses as she slipped whatever remaining clothes there were off. "We are together again…that's all that matters."
Since the three had the most secluded room in the house to themselves and were very much engrossed with each other they would not find out until the sun had fully what had taken place that night. It might have been for the best that they weren't there to prevent it from happening.
Jasper blinked curiously at the ceiling, he had fallen into a daze since vampires didn't need to sleep. He sat up on his couch and looked around the room as if it held the answers for why he was suddenly so on edge. He concentrated on the emotions coursing through him and realized that he was feeling on edge because someone else in the house was filled with terror and panic.
He heard the muted whimpers that were starting to escalate into frantic screams. In a flash he was out of his rooms and in front of Harry's door. Behind which was the reason for both the screams he was hearing and the terror he was feeling.
Harry was screaming into his pillow as his sheets tangled around him blood was coursing from his wrists where he had been digging his nails in as if he were trying to scratch away something . The sheets were wrapping around him their pure white becoming tainted with red as Harry tangled himself further into them. Instinctively he bit down on them to quiet his screams, but he had already gained attention.
Jasper had moved to open the door when the unmistakable scent of blood hit his nose. He immediately stopped breathing and covered his nose out of reflex. He could feel Harry's emotional turmoil happening just behind that door. However, he already knew his restraint was fraying and that he would have to get someone stronger to help.
Edward appeared at his side, concern on his face "What happened? You're thoughts were almost screaming at me." Jasper with his hands still over his nose pointed to Harry's room. Emmett and Rosalie had also appeared along with Alice. The screams had gotten their attention shortly after they had attracted Jasper. The vampires noticed Jasper's distress and scented the blood that was causing it.
Edward opened the door after making sure that Emmett had a good hold of Jasper. He pushed it opened and had to stop breathing at the sight that met his eyes. Harry's shredded arms and bloodied sheets. The vampires took a collective step backwards, knowing they were not strong enough to handle this amount of blood.
"Get the bloody hell out of my way!" An aristocratic voice shouted at the stunned vampires. They turned at one to see a miraculously immaculate Draco Malfoy storm past them. He launched himself at Harry's form grabbing his arms and forcibly holding them above his head. He pinned Harry down so that he would stop moving and snarled "Isn't one of you a Doctor? Go get some bandages!" Edward scanned the thoughts of Esme and Carlisle, for some reason the wizards were hard for him to read. He went and got the bandages himself knowing that now was not the best time to get them.
Jasper watched in muted horror as Harry was so brutally restrained to keep him from hurting himself. Jasper tried to close his eyes and focus on calm emotions to help Harry, but his own inward panic made it impossible. Not even a second later Edward handed the bandages to Draco. The vampires stood at the edge of the room. They didn't want to turn their backs on the dilemma; however they were struggling from the smell of freshly spilt blood.
Draco hurriedly bandaged Harry, bandaging it so his bloody wrists were covered but also that his hands and fingers were fisted under the bandages so that he couldn't hurt himself anymore. Draco sighed as he wiped away Harry's sweaty bangs "Harry? Harry? Can you wake up for me?" He murmured trying to keep low and soothing. Harry gave a little whimper and twisted away from him, the nightmare still had him within its grasp, but Harry had exaughsted himself to the point where he was no longer dangerous.
Jasper narrowed his eyes as he watched Draco interact with Harry, they seemed something closer than friends and Jasper was surprised to find he wasn't comfortable with that. He wondered at that before his mind flashed a picture of him using his cool hands on Harry. It was him stroking against Harry's feverish forehead, and using his gift of empathy to soothe the young man. He shook his head; the smell of blood was still in the air. All of their eyes were burning from the scent and he didn't trust himself near Harry in this state.
Edward was looking at Jasper in interest, he could easily read Jasper's jealousy but also his confusion. He was then distracted by Alice's thoughts he turned to her and said firmly "It's not your fault Alice, you can't possibly see everything."
Alice looked up at him with what would be teary eyes and said "But I did see this…I just…I guess I didn't realize it was a vision or…" She shook her head looking down in shame, realizing she couldn't stop everything from happening with her gift.
Edward smiled at his sister and gently gathered her in his arms "Don't worry…see everything will be fine." He cast a look to the forms on the bed, wondering if there was any hope that the statement would be true.
Draco looked down at Harry knowing that there was nothing more he could do for his friend; they had found out that trying to wake him would be useless. That had proven to be too hard on Harry's mind to go from his tortured dream reality to the real world. He started having the nightmares even while he was awake. So they were advised to make sure he was as safe as possibly during them, but not to wake him.
Remus appeared in the doorway and hurried to Harry's side "How long?"
Draco shook his head "I don't know…when I came in he had damaged his wrists again and was screaming…so I would say a few hours? Probably as soon as he went to sleep." Draco sighed heavily "This has been his first in a while."
Remus was grim as he said said "I fear it wasn't, Harry has taken to casting silencing charms on his rooms and healing himself in the mornings." He saw the look Draco was giving him and said softly "He begged me not to tell."
Draco sat back, knowing Harry would not be moving at least until morning "Severus won't be happy when he finds out…he really thought that Harry was getting better."
The two wizards looked down at their friend and comrade and pulled away, taking away the bloody sheets and tucking him in with the one's that had only a small amount or none on them. "Burn those." Edward murmured to them. The wizards only then became aware of their surroundings for the first time and noticed that all the vampires who seemed very uncomfortable. Remus nodded and took them to the backyard to burn.
Draco's silver eyes narrowed as he looked over the vampires "Where is your bloody doctor vampire? And where the hell is Severus?!" His fear for Harry coming out as anger to those around him, he blamed everyone and himself for not realizing what Harry had been doing sooner.
Edward came to his side and gave him a pointed look "They were rather…indisposed…at the time." Draco's eyes narrowed dangerously before he stormed off gracefully to his room. It was clear to all that he would have words with Severus in the morning.
Rosalie noticed how Emmett looked longingly off at Draco. She shook her head, he wasn't even aware that he was falling, that soon they would be having a 'talk'. She wanted to save him all those years ago, and while they loved each other deeply she knew that they weren't in love with each other. She was startled when she felt a hand on her own and looked into Alice's eyes. "I have something to tell you." Her sister said with hushed excitement.
Hope you all are enjoying the story!
