Bryan bit his lip and forced him self to remain quiet as Boris brought the whip down on his bare back. His wrists throbbed with pain; Boris had hand cuffed him to a pipe that ran along the ceiling, and his feet didn't touch the ground so all his weight was being supported by his wrists. Boris had been beating him for almost an hour and it was really starting to take its toll on his body.
Boris laughed evilly and whipped him again, sending another surge of pain through his body. But Bryan was too proud and refused to let out a whimper, cry or even shed a tear; and it really pissed Boris off.
Growling the sick old man sneered "Why can't you just cry damn it!"
"Like I'd give you the satisfaction!" Bryan sneered.
Boris was going to teach Bryan a lesson and raised the whip to hit the boy again, but stopped suddenly when he heard Kelly's voice coming down the hall. Boris stared to panic a little; if she saw him doing this, she'd kill him...literally.
Muttering "Shit" Boris quickly wrapped his whip up and put it into his bag. He then un-cuffed Bryan, and allowed the boy to fall to the ground in a heap. As he put the cuffs into his bag Boris ordered Bryan to get dressed.
Knowing that if any one found out what Boris was doing to them, he would hurt his friends; so Bryan quickly pulled on his black tank top and jacket so no one would see the blood from the wounds.
Bryan had just pulled his jacket on when Kelly burst through the door looking unusually happy. But her wide grin faded when she saw the scene in Bryan's room; Bryan was still on his knees and Boris loomed over him.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Kelly demanded.
"Oh nothing, Bryan was merely tying his boot laces. Isn't that right Bryan?"
Bowing his head in shame Bryan said "Ya, just doing up my laces."
Giving Boris a mistrusting look Kelly coldly said "What ever."
"So what brings you here Milady? I thought you would want him to feed before you went out and upset her royal highness again." Boris said slyly.
Growling Kelly sneered "Shove it Boris! I just came to see if Bryan wanted to go the edge with us tonight."
"But I thought you were all grounded?"
"Well Zai got us un-grounded, so were going to the edge to night to see the blue moon's effects."
"Well I don't think her royal highness would like you to bring the vampires out."
"Ya and I bet you'd love to go tell her we did. But because of circumstances that happened last night Jadenat is allowing us to bring them to the edge."
"Oh yes the incident with the orge's, but why would she allow the vampires to go out at night?" Boris asked suspiciously.
Smirking Kelly said "Ya well Judy is a good friend of Jadenat and it was Kai who got the ball rolling to save her and her three cubs, so in repayment she's letting us go out."
Boris opened his mouth to argue back but Bryan cut in by saying "I'll come!" Kelly gave him an odd look; Bryan sounded a little worried, and that wasn't like him. She could tell, even thought she had only know him for little more then three weeks.
Bryan walked up beside her and said coldly "Lets go." Before she left, Kelly gave Boris one more hard glare, and lead Bryan from the room.
As the pair walked down the hall Kelly asked "You ok?"
"I'm fine." Bryan said coldly.
"Ok what happened with Boris?"
"Nothing." Bryan said looking down; he was starting to feel like crap. He just wanted to go to sleep, but he didn't want to go with Boris. So he silently went with Kelly, answering her annoying questions.
Kelly looked Bryan up and down and frowned. He was paler than usual and was breathing deeply. He also winced every once in a wile as if he was in pain. Curiosity getting the better of her Kelly did something most wouldn't dare; she carefully placed her hand on his forehead, checking his temperature.
Bryan flinched slightly when she touched him, not accustom to being touched in such a tender even affectionate way. She then frowned and pulled her hand away, she then asked "Are feeling ok? You're a little warm."
"I'm fine." Bryan grunted.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Would you rather stay here and sleep?"
"No." Bryan said lying through his teeth.
"Are you-"Kelly started but was cut off when Bryan snapped "Yes I'm fine damn it!"
"Ok, ok you don't have to get so touchy!" Kelly sighed.
Bryan glared at her, with his left eye brow twitching...

Kelly lead Bryan outside to ware the others ware waiting, the ware's were all in there half human, half creature forms. (AN: They have there tails, ears and claws of there animal forms.)
"About time, what took you guys so long?" Josh asked.
"Nothing, I just had a run in with Boris." Kelly sighed.
Wile the others all went 'Oh'and Kai looked at Bryan and noticed he was slouching slightly and asked "Bryan you ok?"
Kelly muttered "Uh oh" and stepped away from him a bit and Bryan yelled out "I'M FINE OK!!!"
Every one looked at him like he was nuts wile Kelly tried not to laugh...
(0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000)
The vampires were all panting from the long walk from the castle. Normally a walk like this one wouldn't have tiered them out so much, but with the lack of blood even small activates tiered them out quickly.
They weren't sure ware the ware's were taking them, but they kept saying how it only happens once in a blue moon...literally.
Sighing and for the hundredth time that night Ian asked "So why are we walking for almost two hours to some edge place?"
For the hundredth time that night Zai answered "Ok, a blue moon only happens once a year. And on a blue moon night vary strange things happen, now be quiet and keep walking. Were almost to the edge."
Kai sighed a little; his insides hurt from hunger pains, so to try to take his mind off it, he looked up through the trees to look at the moon. The moon was full and had a blue tint to it, it was really beautiful and he had never seen a blue moon before, he didn't even now a moon could go blue.
Kai's thoughts were interrupted when Ian asked "So we're going to a place you guys call the edge?"
Josh nodded and Ian asked "And the place over the lake is called the cliff?"
Josh again nodded and Ian said "Why the hell would you name them 'the edge' and 'the cliff'?"
Josh shrugged and said "Shhh, we've got to be quiet now. Or we might scare them away."
"Scare what away?" Ian asked.
Grinning Josh said "You'll see soon enough."
Ian sighed and quietly followed Josh, ignoring Mai and Ray who were walking hand in hand, giving each other kisses every once in a wile.

The teens followed the path that went through the dense brush until they came to a clearing, but the clearing was actually a cliff that looked over a field. In the field were hundreds of thousands of tiny glowing blue flowers.
Zai smiled and said "Good there not here yet."
"Who?" Kai asked.
Zai grinned mischievously and said "You'll see soon enough."
She then sat down at the ledge of the cliff and waited. The others followed suit and sat down, and looked down at the cliff. The vampires frowned when they saw nothing but glowing blue flowers.
"You brought us all the way up here to look at glowing blue flowers?" Ian asked in disbelief.
"No, something much more important then any flower. Just to see one is a once in a life time thing, and we may get to see a whole herd of them!" Kelly said happily.
"Whole herd of what?!?" Ian asked annoyed.
The ware's chuckled a little and Zai said "Ok I'll explain. A blue moon only happens once a year and these glowing blue flowers are called tear moon flowers. They only bloom and spread there seed once a year, the night of the blue moon. But then the flowers that did bloom start to die, and they give off this wonderful smell. The smell attracts a vary special animal which vary few people have the honor of seeing."
"Oh...so what is this 'vary special animal?'" Kai asked.
Grinning Zai said "You'll see soon enough, they should be here soon."
Frowning the teens silently waited for some thing, any thing to happened. But for the first hour or so nothing happened. Ian sighed in boardroom, what ever was coming, it had better be worth it, was what he kept thinking.
Ian's head snapped up when Mai loudly whispered "There! There's the head stallion!"
Ian frowned when he saw a white horse come out of the forest. He then said "It's just a horse."
"Are you sure?" Decoda asked.
The horse suddenly whinnied and slowly, other horses came out of the forest. Big horses, small ones, fillies and foals, which were all white, all came out of the forest and stared to eat the glowing flowers.
"We walked all the way up here to see a bunch of white horses?" Ian asked in disbelief.
Josh sighed and said "Look more closely."
Kai mean wile was bored to death watched the horses, he was also very disappointed. He was expecting something good, not just a bunch of pure white horses. Kai suddenly noticed something and he gasped. The other vampires looked at him with questioning looks and the ware's just smiled.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Zai asked.
Kai nodded a little, his jaw was still open a little from the shock. He then said "I never thought I'd live to see the day ware I would see them."
Tala quietly asked "What is it Kai?"
"You guys there not just horses, there unicorns. Real life unicorns! "Kai said in shock.
The other boys looked a little more carefully and even Bryan gasped. Tala whispered "But I thought unicorns didn't live this far north. I always thought they liked the heat and they lived by the equator."
"They do like the heat but these flowers only grow here. And they say the unicorns eat these flowers to keep the magic that is locked with in there horns. But for what ever reason they travel here once a year to eat the flowers." Jay told him.
"Wow, I've lived here my whole life and I didn't know that unicorns travel through our territory." Tala gasped.
Jay nodded and said "They move vary quietly and vary few know they come up here."
'There so beautiful.' Tala thought to himself as he watched the unicorns frolic and play in the field.
Watching the unicorns down in the field play, the vampires one by one fell asleep. Which the ware's found vary odd.
"Guys, have you noticed that the vampires sleep a lot during the night?" Kelly asked, wile laying Bryan's head on her lap, not noticing the blood that had seeped through the top beneath his jacket.
"Ya I have, I mean its only midnight and there already sleeping. Each night there going to sleep a little earlier." Zai sighed, not minding that Kai was leaning on her sound asleep.
The others nodded in agreement, and Jay, who was stroking Tala's red hair as he lay sleeping curled up in a ball, said "And is it just me or are they getting weaker physically?"
"Ya they are. There energy leave has also dropped a lot in the past week...ever since Boris started to watch them for you." Mai said suspiciously, sitting on Ray's lap.
"I know, but Boris won't hurt them...would he?" Ray asked looking from his girl friend to each of his friends.
"I don't know Ray...he might." Mai said looking at Kai leaning on Zai. She then said "Remember how they acted when they first got here? They had energy, they wanted to do stuff, ok they mainly tried to escape but still...they had fire in there eyes. But now...there energy is almost gone and there fire is nearly disappeared."
"Ok so why wouldn't they tell us if Boris was hurting them?" Josh asked, with Ian asleep on his lap.
"They don't trust us for one, and two I bet you Boris threatened them somehow, so they wouldn't talk." Zai answered.
"Your making it sound like Boris did do it." Josh said.
"He might have." Zai said with a shrug.
"But why? Why would Boris want to hurt them?" Josh asked.
"I don't know, but I'll find out. I just need you guys to keep Boris off my tail." Ray volunteered.
"Alright, just be careful." Mai told her boyfriend, wile looking back at the unicorns.
Zai sighed and said "We should go and get these guys home, but I'm going to take the key to Kai's room from Boris tomorrow night. You now just in case."
The others murmured agreements as they all transformed into there powerful wolf and cat forms. Casting one last glance towards the unicorns Zai carefully picked Kai up like a mother would pick up there cub and stared the long walk home...
TBC...
AN: Well that's it...the next chapter will be much better! Any how...review!!
