Chapter seven:
My eye twitches slightly at this. "Animals?" I mummer to myself only to figure that Detonators could be animals, before speaking up so Boss can hear me. "Yeah. We heard the noise. Spooked Nate a bit."
Nate glances to me but then nods. "I wasn't too sure about those sounds." He says looking back at Boss.
"Well whatever they were they left so we should be good. These things happen sometimes." Boss says. "Well we should get going."
"Yeah." I agree and make sure that I have everything only to turn to Nate. "Stay safe."
"I will." Nate promises.
I move a little closer. "You remember where the spike is just in case?" I whisper to him in which he nods. "Okay." I say satisfied then I head off with Boss to head to work.
No one's P.O.V.
Now that the other two are gone Nate decides to head to the ranch.
Nate heads to change into clothes for the day then heads out closing the door behind himself. He heads off the ranch as planned and makes it safely where he finds Nancy moving a cow by a rope like reins. He heads over to her.
"Ah Near." Nancy greets stopping in her walking as the cow also does the same. "Good morning."
"Good morning." Nate greets back. "What are you doing?" He looks to the cow curiously.
"Moving the cow to be milked." Nancy explains. "Come. I can show you how to do it." She leads him into the barn along with the cow.
Nate reaches over and gently pets the cow as they walk close to each other side by side.
Elsewhere….
"Where are those idiots!?" A growl sounds through the room then a fist slams heavily on the table making a few others at the table jump slightly at the suddenness of the slam. The person at the head of the table has also stood up and turns to one of the ones sitting at the table. "I want you to find them and bring them to me. They've run out of time. All this time and they had better know where they are."
"I will leave right away." The one spoken to says then stands and heads off out of the room with that while the only other person in the room that spoke sits back down.
"Why couldn't I go?" One still at the table demands. "I could have done it easily! Then we wouldn't be in this mess."
"I want them alive and unharmed." The head snaps at the one that just spoke up. "You would have at the very least harmed them. That wouldn't be according to plan now would it?"
The one that just spoke up huffs crossing his arms over his chest leaning back in his chair.
"Now that that's over." The head turns to the two by the one that spoke up. "I need you two to continue your search but I would like a report before you do so."
"Well." One of them speaks. "We have made great progress on finding the suspected army." He begins. "We have concluded that they are not gathering in any known town as was feared. They are gathering somewhere in the wilderness."
"Okay. Keep up the good work. We are getting close. I am trusting the both of you to find the army." The head says then waves dismissively.
The two being spoken to get up and leave the room together.
The head turns to the one that looks like he's still pouting. "As for you." The head says as the other looks over with a pouting hopeful look. "I have received word that one of our top agents was badly wounded and can no longer see out of one eye." The head explains causing the other to uncross his arms and lean forward in interest. "An eye for an eye. I want you to go to the next town over and kill the ones that did it. They may be strays but that doesn't mean we don't have to ignore them and let them run wild."
The one being spoken to smiles almost deviously. "With pleasure." He is quickly out of the room.
The room is silent for a few moments then one of the few remaining at the table speaks up.
"So? What do you think?"
"It is possible." The head says. "Though I cannot say for sure." The head turns to who just spoke. "I do have an assignment for those of you remaining. Tomorrow I want you to assess the fighting skills of those that are training and check on the fighting skills of those graduated. We need to be ready for when the army is found."
"It will be done right away." The other says with a slight nod that looked like a dip of the head.
The head stands up with eyes closed for a moment. "Then that is all we have to discuss today. This meeting is over." The head's eyes open to halfway to watch the ones remaining get up then leave the room. "Our existence is in danger. Especially of being exposed. The past cannot repeat itself." The head then leaves the room.
….
Mihael makes it back to his new home with Boss. He decides to head to the ranch first after getting out of the truck. He finds Nate watching the pigs play around in their enclosed space. He comes up next to Nate who glances to him. "Pigs huh?" He says only seeing about maybe four or five maybe six pigs at first glance.
"Nancy asked me to help feed them." Nate explains. "They ate quite a bit which Nancy was happy about as sometimes they would be picky and not eat so much." He crosses his arms on the fence and rests his chin on his arms.
Mihael's eyes flicker to Nate watching him for a few moments in silence. He then smiles softly. "Come." He says taking a step away from the fence. "I can tell that you're hungry."
Nate pushes himself away from the fence and follows Mihael to their home to hide behind closed doors. He follows him to the living room where Mihael settles down on the couch with the other beside him.
Mihael removes his shirt and Nate shifts closer. "Whenever you're ready."
Nate moves up a little and opens his mouth baring his fangs. He brushes the tips of his fangs against his usual feeding spot then he allows them to sink into the blondes skin. He begins feeding with heavy gulps as Mihael clutches his pants to just let Nate feed for now.
Mihael shuts his eyes tightly to help hold himself back but now that he and Nate have expressed their feelings he finds it harder to hold back. He wants to take Nate and claim him as his own but he also wants to wait until Nate is ready for such a thing.
Nate finishes and pulls out his fangs only to gently lick the puncture wounds before fully pulling away. "Thanks Mello." He says with a wipe of his mouth.
Mello puts his shirt back on. "Don't worry about it." He assures the other.
Unknown's P.O.V.
I shift nervously. "Oh well you know." I say bringing a hand to scratch the back of my head. "I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to have a nice stroll with me? I mean we could have fun with it. Just the two of us." I then lower my hand and try to smile as confidently as I can with my eyes closed but soon that smile falls and I sigh heavily with a slump. "That's never gonna work!" I whine to myself.
