Holy shiiiiit! I'm SOOOOOO sorry for not updating! Alright so here's the update I owe you all!
Tony began stirring in his sleep. He dreamt of his parents death, his first time meeting Rudolph and joining the Sackville-Bagg family. Today marked his final day of sleep. His tummy growled so loudly that Rudolph ended up sleeping in Gregory's room.
"Boys please wake up, your father has requested our help to prepare the linking ceremony." Freda said calmly as she poked both boys with a broom.
"Mother," Rudolph groaned as he flipped off the ceiling. "Couldn't you just wake us up through our mind link? The poking with a broom thing is getting rather old."
Freda just smiled at them as she walked out of the room. Gregory turned to Rudolph.
"Some times she acts more and more like Anna." Then snickered and exited the room to follow their mother.
"Oh mother dearest! Tony is growling in his sleep! It's frightening!"
"Oh come now Anna, no time to be a baby!"
"But mother!"
"No buts Anna, your father needs us to help. And help requires no complaining or whining." Anna hung her head.
"Yes mother."
"Welcome family. Many things are required to be completed for the linking ceremony. We shall start off with the mixing of our blood, to be drank by young Tony." Each family member approached Fredrick one at a time. As each member walked up to Fredrick, he would cut their chest right above their hearts, assuring they were leaning over the sacred bowl. The wounds would bleed for a moment or two then slowly heal up.
"Father?" Rudolph spoke.
"Yes my son?"
"Why must you cut above our hearts?"
"Because our heart is where we are most vulnerable, therefore we cut just above to insure our hearts blood is to be drank and to insure that we do not harm our selves in such a way that will disable us from protecting ourselves."
The ceremony was finally completely set up. All they needed now was the guest of honour. Fredrick carried Tony out of Rudolph's room and placed him on the floor in front of the fire.
"Oh Father of darkness and mother of blood. We ask that you allow us this human son. We ask that you help change the boy, so that he once again has family. We, the Sackville-Bagg family, are accepting of the sacrifice we must make in order to appease you. So we ask that you humbly accept our sacrifice." Each family member threw the most important thing they each possessed. Fredrick threw in the stone of attain, Freda threw in a painting of her family, Gregory threw in one of his spiked collars, Rudolph tossed in the picture Tony drew of him and Anna threw in her hair brush.
The fire roared and changed colours. It went from a soft orange to blood red.
"It is time." Fredrick moved his hand over Tony's sleeping form. Tony's eyes shot open and he growled with hunger. He opened his mouth to demand they feed him when Fredrick covered his mouth. "No dear boy, you mustn't talk…. Dearest Tony, you wish to join our family…." The fire roared and the tips of the flames grew black. "Our family has accepted your request, tho no family is complete without a blood link. So each family member shall drink from you, then you shall proceed to drink from the sacred bowl, which is filled with our mixed blood. Do you, Tony Thompson still wish to become a Sackville-Begg?" Tony nodded his head. "Then let the drinking begin!" Fredrick said as he threw his arms in the arm, the fire roaring as loud as Fredrick had shouted.
Each family member took their turn of drinking Tony's blood. Like they had done, Tony was cut above his heart and as his blood began to run, each member would happily lap some blood, slowly healing the wound as they did so. Once the feeding was done Tony was pale and weak, laying on the floor and panting shallow breaths. He could feel sleep nagging at his mind. Fredrick lifted Tony enough to rest him against his knees. "Now Tony m'boy. You must drink this before your body begins to die." He held the bowl to Tony's lips, tilting it back ever so slightly to insure the blood was entering Tony's mouth and Tony was in fact swallowing it. Tony had drunken it all, and could feel sleep nagging much more. His vision blurred with sleep. Fredrick laid him down and threw the sacred bowl into the flames. The fire crackled and spit out a small pile of ashes before it completely died out. The pile of ashes glowed fiercely, so fiercely that no one dared to touch them. Tony had finally passed out completely.
"Father?" The kids looked at Fredrick, eye's hopeful yet worried.
"In due time my children. In due time."
So what you think? I would super like a review, just to know if this chapter rocked or not. I have a chapter or two left…. and possibly a sequel! Le gasp!
So be nice, review. And I'll forever love you!
