Hi everyone. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thanks to anyone who reads this story. Warning. Story contains: Violence, boyxboy, graphic violent details. Mentions of past abuse, amnesia, death, murder. Hope you all have a nice day/night wherever you are. I'm going to make this an unofficial cross over with some of my other fanfic stories, so expect; Percy Jackson and The Kane Chronicles to be referenced (if not some OC characters from those fandoms, from my other stories.) To turn up in this one.

Remi wasn't sure what to do at first as he came to a stop inside of his room.

All around the hotel there were sounds of cheering and celebrating the new member who had come and joined there family. Another child of the night was born.

Another hungry mouth to feed.

He shook his head as though to slay the thoughts from his mind and existence. His golden strands of hair were as hypnotising as ever, but now from the intense stress which was building up inside of him the more that he had been pacing back and forth, walking past the tattered wall which was streaked with exposed boards and lines of blood which he was sure would be cleaned up later. It wouldn't be long till they thought about renovating again... after all, they couldn't live in this place like this all the time.

Remi had always gone around cleaning up after other peoples messes but now even in his frozen old age and suspended youthful body, he was growing fed up. Almost like he was calcifying from the inside out, his heart growing heavier and more painful to bare. After all, even Raphael at least seemed to have someone of interest of late. Although Remi knew that Raphael didn't exactly have the same interest as many others around the hotel did.

Which made the person he was interested in, all the more.

Raphael being Aromantic and Asexual made it confusing why all off a sudden he was hanging around with the new interest he had taken in a boy called Kyle. The little bitchy, sassy boy who seemed to stare at Raphael like the vampire made the whole world turn around. Raphael had always shown complete hostility towards anyone or anything that wasn't a vampire. He would speak down to them, discriminate anything for not being a child of the night. Anything which didn't have a still heart and fangs was often in his line of perception not to be important.

So when the flirtatious Kyle had started hanging around with the other boy. Remi had just found it surprising that two people who were so completely and utterly different could bond so well. Especially since Kyle still had a beating heart and no fangs to show for it.

At the stroke of nightfall Raphael had left and returned not long after with Kyle next to him.

The blonde had just grinned upon entering and looked Remi over with an evaluative crushing gaze.

Raphael who was still glancing at the other fifteen year old boy laughed quietly and had indicated towards the room where their new addition was waiting. "We thought that before we went out for Magnus' invitation, that maybe you may be able to help us. I have a feeling that you may be able to deal with this better than any of us ever could. I lost my last turn because he wanted no part of an ordinary life. I don't intend to lose this one." He stated clearly.
"And here you are, bringing me into the den of vipers." Kyle had purred with his British accent. "Oh Raphael." He teased. "It means so much you chose me." He laughed coldly, resting a hand on his hip as he walked by.

Kyle was certainly interesting to Remi, he could understand to an extent why Raphael's fascination with him was as it's such. The boy smelt human... but not completely. Something about him smelt different. Familiar, and very discreet but definitely noticeable. Not enough so that it was able to cover the human stench which radiated off him and his wry, slightly small but thin frame. His hair was a fringe of platinum spikes, ice cold and rather seeming to be a mocking reminder of late as to another situation they were facing. His eyes were a blazing and almost what seemed like a glowing blond.

Every ounce of them poured with blood lust and a sharp ferociousness that gave away no weakness.

He wore a skin tight black shirt and long finger-less gloves which moved up to his elbow. Black leather skinny jeans were tightly constricted around his legs though he moved gracefully in them like a swan on water. His skin was a soft and warm bronze but there also seemed to be something else to it. Slight burst of peach coming in around certain spots. Remi found that even he, someone who prided themselves on the control of their thirst, was growing slightly hungry as the boy walked with him and Raphael. "Maybe it wasn't the best idea to bring the child here Raphael." Remi said gently, watching out the corner of his eye how Kyle sent him a sharp glare in the flash of a second. "After all, what would the others do. When they small that blood of his-"

Kyle slammed out his fist to the side of the wall and Remi's eyes managed to catch the last second as a symbol blazed above the boy's closed fist, resembling what both vampires thought was unmistakably that of a cat, which now was encased in a glowing green emerald sparking aura. the light seemed to be intensely solid, tremendously so. It had gone through the wall like a hot knife through butter, but now Remi could see the boy's fingers, it was like staring at a menacing and threatening claw. The boy's hand was still human beneath the aura of light, but the shape the energy itself had taken a giant feline claw on a larger hand. "Warlock!" Remi exclaimed with a snarl and backed up slightly, having his own troubled past and pained experiences with warlocks, but the British boy only chuckled coldly and smirked.
"Not exactly."

Raphael grabbed his arm as Kyle steadied himself out. "I prefer magician."
"Is there any difference." Remi growled.
"You'd be very much surprised." Raphael laughed viciously. "Kyle is certainly more different in more ways than one... and we go a very long way back."

After that they carried on in silence for a while. Eyes were cast to them from ruined rooms of the hotel. The shadows moved as more and more of the inhabitants who had lingered in the building to see what would become of their new member, now cast hungry glances at the strange child who walked the halls with Raphael's favour. "How is he supposed to help us?"
"Do you find a problem with my judgement Connor?" Raphael growled, noticing the glower which was cast at him as he knowingly used the name that Remi loathed as much as he loathed his memories of the time when he had owned it. But Raphael for his ever so constant appearance of innocence, was anything but. Radiating intimidation onto anyone who dared get in his way.
"Did those fangs just shrink back with everything else?" Kyle smirked.
"Sorry... Raphael." The smaller vampire growled, casting his glare and a bar of his fangs towards Kyle, who's palm sparked with a green light.
"Any time, any day." The boy responded.
"You haven't even accepted my offer and already you torment my brethren." Raphael stated casting Kyle a long look who seemed to had receded into his thoughts momentarily.
Raphael offered him the turn?! B-but why?!
"You presume that I will accept your offer." Kyle grinned, half lidded eyes glistening with lust as he purred his sweet British voice, even though Raphael's were empty and devoid of any spark which could have come by. "I am still the same in my answer."
"You would deny immortality?" The head vampire stated, with a rose eyebrow. His angelic face still cold in appearance but beautiful none the less. "Kyle it is time to grow up. The sooner you accept my offer the better off you will be. Why would you not accept my offer-"
"Because there is still someone that has my attention... someone who can return certain things. That adventurous game must be played before I can make any big decisions. After all Raphael... you know that I'm a sore loser." The boy's voice which had started so sweetly had turned cold and bitter but none the less completely beautiful in it's destructive tone.

So... not so different after all in some ways. Remi thought.

Raphael stuck to silence after that, much to the vampires extreme surprise. Slight anger was painted across his deceptive eyes but it was not directed towards Kyle but more or less something else. Something in the way that they talked to each other. So familiar and yet almost as though they were a split iceberg, drifting further and further away from what had made them whole.

Lovers and yet split apart by their own ways in which they were born. Remi thought, for the first time letting pity come to him as he thought about them. It was so impossible to tell because it was so obvious! The way that Kyle cast sad longing glances at Raphael, and the way that the lead vampire would gave back at the other boy emptily, just as though there was absolutely nothing there for him, though he seemed angered by his own nature that he didn't feel that way. He wants to turn him though... is that him trying to find some way of compensation?

But when Remi had saw Kyle's glare, searching him, watching the way that the magician had been being studied. Remi had quickly turned away and pulled his focus off the two.

Leading back to where they were now.

Having been out here for the last half hour with Raphael, pacing in front of the door. "Maybe the fledgling killed him?" Remi shrugged, finding some reason to go into the room and make sure that everything was alright, that nothing had happened to the new member.
"You seem so worried. Calm yourself down. If anything would have happened, Kyle could have easily of defended himself against a weak fledgling who was out of their new born senses." Raphael seemed at least loyal in his description but still, his voice was void of any affection or sense of romantic love which would have been there on any one else's lips.

Remi regretted it glancing a sad pity of a look at the other boy, when those black merciless eyes met his gaze and burned with anger. "You who is known to have a heart that had been the victim of Medusa's gaze." Raphael stated, adjusting his pale green shirt, a cold smile playing at the edge of his lips.
"You're chiding me on having a lack of emotion?" Remi growled beneath his teeth.
"Say that again... and you'll be passed from this world and into the next, barely having time to register that I had ripped your heart out from your body." The angel faced boy stated, his black eyes lifeless and cold, showing complete honesty to his statement.

The door groaned slightly as it began to open, Kyle's smirk and grin plastered across his face as he lent on the doorway. Behind him golden light poured around his cold platinum hair making him look like he was shedding a burst of moonlight to the two vampires. "Interesting project you gave me to work with there Raphael." The boy's glare bewitched his eyes as he looked over at the younger looking vampire. "I wonder why you thought that I of all people, could have been the best to help him." Those golden eyes were so much far worse to bare. At least with Raphael's black eyes, they expected darkness to come from them.

But with precious eyes like molten gold? A glare like that was as dangerous as touching the metal itself in a magma heat.

Raphael straightened his posture and kept his voice even. "Don't find a hidden cause when there is none Palomita." Kyle's cheeks burnt slightly red at that, making Raphael smirk. "Now was you able to do something and help?"
"You doubt my skill." Kyle teased with a sly smile.
"Never." The head vampire stated firmly and impassively.
"Right. Sorry to break up this moment but is the girl okay?"

Kyle's eyes flashed with amusement at Raphael who rose an eyebrow in curiosity. "Go on in." Kyle said simply and stepped from the doorway as both plunged into the room.

Immediately Remi's mouth dropped open and even Raphael paused to frown as he looked between Kyle and the figure now sitting by the bed. "Hang on... what the hell?" Remi frowned. "Where's the fledgling."

The figure flinched at that but Kyle only walked only with a soft voice. Strangely hypnotic Remi thought as the subtle purr he had heard before now became rather dominant. Strangely forceful in it's tackling and movement through the air. "It's okay dear. They're just a bit surprised is all." Kyle rested a hand on the thin figure's shoulders. "Now come out the shadows. My work doesn't deserve to be in the darkness."

Both vampires shot a glare but Kyle only stuck his tongue out.

After all, this fledgling would never see daylight ever again now. The shadows and night was where they would be spending an eternity.

At least while Kyle worked on coaxing the boy out of his hiding spot, it gave Remi a chance to look around the room. "Oh yeah, I did a little bit of repair. Honestly, you can't have them living like this. This place used to be a diamond. If I come back and find this room in a mess, I promise by the gods, I will have your fangs!"

Raphael laughed with amusement while Remi stared in shock. Had that boy seriously just said that to their leader and gotten away with it.
"You've grown more defiant I see." Raphael smirked.
"Oh you know... little old me." Kyle grinned, putting away something small and curved like ivory into the back of his belt, which Remi had thought strangely for a moment had resembled a boomerang. Must have been his imagination.

The figure however finally came around to Kyle's soothing and hypnotic words and moved from the white washed and black pattern wall of winter trees and landscape and the fresh fur carpet towards the golden light soaking lamp which rested on a bedside table by the large Egyptian silk queen sized bed. They stopped for a moment to check their reflection in the glass mirror doors and large vanity mirror on a white oak table. "Honey, I assure you. There is nothing wrong with my work. Don't worry, if either of them say anything, I'll claw their eyes out."
"Kyle." Raphael said in warning.
"Meow." The blonde chimed in response with a teasing wink.

As the figure stepped into the light, Remi studied the way that the light caught on the figure's leather jeans which were wrapped loosely onto a malnourished and skinny frame. The change and physical effects seemed to still be perfecting the girl into her best shape now that she was fully changed. Remi wondered what Kyle had done with the dress she had been wearing.

But as his eyes moved up his shock became less about the work done but by the fact of what he was actually seeing and scolding himself for not seeing it before.

The figure kept dark green eyes locked onto them which glanced out the corner of their sight at Kyle who seemed to have made a bond with them. "It's okay. Go on." The blond coaxed.

The boy who was now stood before both vampires had a multitude of tones in his hair from a dark purple to a nearly pitch black while speckles of silver underline made it shine out like the very night sky itself had come to life in front of their eyes. They wore a leather jacket over a skin tight Italian style shirt. The material was like a velvet grey and seemed to shimmer with the movements, strangely suiting the outfit. "May I present to you-" Kyle smiled with a beam, making his voice build up slowly. "Your victim in fucking attack." He deadpanned, casting Raphael a dark glare as he stormed over. "You brought me here to look after him, but you didn't even have the decency to take him out of the dress his attacker and murder had shoved him into against his will! Instead you break his wrists!" Kyle snarled under his breath.
"That is not for you to know." Raphael kept his voice quiet and steady like a rock as he faced the other boy down. Never had Remi ever seen someone talk like this to Raphael and still be breathing after this long of saying those words. "The business of the night children is none of your business-"
"It will be if you intend to change me some day!" Kyle snapped.
"But who knows how long that game of yours can play out." Raphael said coolly. "After all, it's a game which you tend to play alone."

Awkward silence filled the air for a long moment, making the fledgling shuffle their feet and even Remi rub the back of his neck as the vampire and magician glared each other down. "All I ask is that you had at least showed him a bit more decency." Kyle said finally in a whisper. His gaze being the first one to back down as he moved it to the floor.
"You think that I don't care enough for my own people-"
"I think that I remember when that was me on the street like that." Kyle said beneath the listening of the other two vampires. "And you showed me that compassion... and I wasn't one of you then."
"No." Raphael stated, his face completely impassive. "I guess you weren't."

Kyle shook his head slowly. "Come on. We better get going." The head vampire stated,

Kyle's eyes lingered on the boy for a long moment. "I have a few questions to ask those warlocks anyway... like why that kid is coated in magical energy." Kyle shook his head before slamming the door behind him as he left.

Remi's dead heart even felt slightly sorry as he could see the pain and anguish in Kyle's eyes as the boy had left before any of them could have seen him cry. "Don't worry." Raphael turned his head slightly to look at the fledgling.

He glanced for a moment between Remi and the other new born before rising an eyebrow. "Well I did say, we better be going. How better than to spend your first night of eternity than with your new family." Raphael stated and held open the door.

Remi and the boy looked at each other for a moment before Remi held out his hand and guided the new born from the room.

None of them noticed the pair of eyes gleaming in the window, hungrily devouring the details of the scene before them.
