Hey everyone! Sorry for the long wait! Hope you all will still read this chapter! Things were going on, as usual, and I didn't mean to take so long.

Again, sorry.

Warnings; yaoi, AU, Monster stuff.

Thank you all for the reviews! And the story favorites! They make me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Anyways let the story begin!

-Chapter 2-

Romano could hear something panting, running towards him. His head flung up and his hazel eyes glanced around. Everything seemed much more sharper, more focused and it gave Romano a headache. As sleep left his mind, he could hear the panting even better. He could hear it and it sounded like a injured animal. Emerging from the trees was a monster from the dreams he saw every night. It was lithe, skinny, black and mussel like, with dim white lines all over it's body. Something black oozed from it's neck and down it's shoulder.

It's dead eyes looked at Romano. "Help…" it croaked and the black liquid leaked from it's pointed teeth. It began crawling towards Romano, who back away. "Please help…me."

Romano opened his mouth to tell the thing to back the fuck off when there was a gleeful cackle and a bull man fell from the sky.

The man landed on the monsters head. Romano jumped, hearing the monsters skull squish under the mans hooves. He watched as the man leaned down and grabbed the monsters head. He watched as the bull snapped the monsters neck. Romano gasped as the monster stilled, and panicked when the bulls bright green eyes fell on him.

"You… You stay the fuck away from me!" Romano shouted. He began moving back, only to find that his wings had bumped into a tree, and that they reacted by pushing him off the tree. With a small yelp Romano tumbled forward, into the arms of the bull man.

The other was tall. And way more toned than him, and his skin was tan, and he smelt like sweat, and tomatoes. Romano felt himself blinking, and a strange feeling of déjà vu hit him. The bull had a really dumb smile on his face. "Hola!" The bull said cheerfully. "Welcome to our village little one. I am Antonio Fernandez Carriedo!" He continued to grin before his face fell to a look of confusion. "Hold on, you look familiar. Have we met?"

It took Romano's mind to catch up with what ever Antonio had just said. With a big scowl on his face he pushed Antonio away and snarled, "Fuck you! Back the fuck away asshole!" glaring at Antonio he shouted, "Where the fuck am I?"

"Oh! You're in Hallows Eve, a small village where-"

"What the fuck you are?"

"Huh?" Antonio's head cocked to the side in a (totally not) adorable way. "Oh, I'm a minotaur, or well more of a distant cousin of the original minotaur. Pretty cool huh?" Antonio pointed down to his legs. "My bottoms are bull while my top is mostly human." he grinned at Romano, which caused Romano's eye brow to twitch. "Now what are you? You look like a demon but you reek of vampire. Hm…Doc would know." Antonio mused. With a bright grin tat replaced the confused face Antonio grabbed Romano's hand. He began tugging Romano into the forest.

"Wait! Hold up and let go of my hand you fucking weirdo!" Antonio looked at their joined hands and was about to say something when he was interrupted.

"Antonio!" The voice was deep. And the owner was a tall blond haired blue eyed boy, that looked disturbingly like Jakob. Except he was covered in old scars, and he had wolf ears and a tail wagging behind him in a irritated way. He wore dirty brown pants, and his hair was slicked back. Romano stepped closer to Antonio without really thinking about it.

"Yeah, what do you want Ludwig?" Antonio asked.

"…who is this?" Ludwig asked, looking at Romano with cold calculating blue eyes and no Romano was NOT trembling under the harsh gaze.

"Oh, this is…um…," Antonio looked to Romano for help (and ignored Ludwig's raised eyebrow.)

"I'm Romano, you stupid bull," Romano mumbled.

"Yeah, this is Romano!" Antonio said. "What did you want Ludwig?"

Ludwig sighed. "Alfred and Ivan ad to return to town, Alfred lost his arm. Gilbert and Matthias are hunting down the other Echo. We just wanted to make sure you were okay, you took off on your own with that Echo."

"Aw… I'm okay. It was already injured so it was easy to kill. You should go help Gil and Matthias though. No telling what they could do. I'm just going to take Romano back to the village," Antonio explained. Ludwig nodded then turned around, and then took off into the woods. Antonio looked over at Romano and grinned. "Ready to go?"

Romano looked back out into the woods, wondering that if he went with Antonio would he lose his old life. Would his family miss him? What would happen to Feliciano? Would they even notice that he was gone? Probably not. Looking at Antonio he nodded.

"Yeah, take me to your leader bull bastard."

-End Chapter.-

I was going to make this longer but…yeah. I haven't actually gotten that far in the actually written version, and I have to figure out how I want to edit the next chapter. So sorry guys.
