He sighed and tried to calm his nerves, Shaun wasn't going to hurt him, he knew that, and he wasn't going to hurt Shaun, he knew that, but when it came to Brooke and Luke, well, neither of them knew what those two would do.
"Who the fuck are you talking to?" Brooke queried shoving a forkful of hot chips into her mouth,
"No one, I was just thinking, who would I be able to talk to anyway?" she rolled her eyes at him and flipped her long brown hair over her shoulder, it used to be blonde Luke had told him, but she changed it, 'Who knows why, she's an idiot regardless.' he used to say whenever something Brooke did was questioned.
"Liam, I forgot to ask you, who'd you see in that van?" Shit. His body and mind froze at the sound of Luke's voice, he turned his haze to Luke who was messing up his dark brown hair, same shade as his, and waiting for a response,
"Fuck. Look I don't wanna tell you guys, but at the same time I know I can't keep it from you... Shaun." the two of them stopped what they were doing at the sound of Liam's words and looked at him wide eyed.
''
He stared out the window and out onto the road which passed them by, the black faces had arranged accommodation for them outside the town itself. Bradie stirred in his sleep against Shaun's body and he smiled, he enjoyed 'being' with Bradie to put it simply, unlike Katherine, Bradie actually cared about him.
"Still can't get over you two being together," Andy murmured from the other side of the van,
"Calm you horses, it's not like we're going to fuck each other," Bradie chuckled at Shaun's remark, "At least not in front of you," he smirked and Bradie sat up finally awake.
"You got that right," he kissed him on the cheek and slipped his hand into Shaun's back pocket. He'd changed after admitting, sure he was the same lovable crazy Spiderman obsessed Bradie, but he was more open now. He nudged Shaun in the arm, "You never told me what you said you would,"
"Fuck, sorry..." he leant closer and whispered into Bradie's ear, "Don't freak out. Don't tell Andy..." he sent a message to the black faces earlier so they already knew and were equipped to stop him if things took a turn for the worse, but he was worried, worried this would cross the line for Bradie in terms of being as close as they were at that moment, "The guy outside the shop, he was my cousin, he's a werewolf, and the thing is-"
"You are too." he sat up and looked at Bradie, smiling, he was smiling,
"Yeah... But why do you not seem phased by it at all?" he shrugged,
"What has he got a tiny wiener?" Andy chimed in and the two rolled their eyes,
"Learn to say penis. And Shaun, it's because you're still the same Shaun, except at full moons and shit." he whispered the last part and Shaun smiled, however it quickly faded,
'Master Shaun, it appears Liam has returned.' with a 'what-the-fuck-are-you-on-about?' look clearly on his face he stepped out and sure enough Liam was there,
"Calm yo tits. I'm alone, it's just... They know, Brooke and Luke know you're here, I couldn't keep it from them, it's hard to keep a secret when they can easily tap into your mind and find out anyway." he shrugged and Liam smiled,
"It's okay, I'll deal with it. But one thing, what happens on a full moon?" he laughed and Shaun stood waiting for an answer,
"It's painful, it only happens when we live here, Bat Country has a shield thing to block it, you're lucky, but two nights from now, you won't be. Up until then we shift at our own accord, but then, no, when the moon's up the pain starts. You'll have to get away from them," he jolted his head in the direction of he van, "That is if you don't want them hurt. But don't worry too much. I'll come find you and help you, no matter what Brooke and Luke do. Anyway, I've gotta get going, Mum's probably gonna want details, see you round." Before Shaun could say anything Liam had already run off into the forest borderline. He leapt up back into the van and sat down with a smile on his face, he knew what he was, and he had Liam to help him and Bradie to care for him. 'Master Shaun, your father is trying to escape, what should we do?' an evil smirk slid onto Shaun's lips,
'Torture him, punish him. The electric gun, the tranquilizers, the chains, everything. Look into my mind, you'll see the truth I've found out. Yes I'll return to Bat Country after the general is... Dealt with, but I wasn't supposed to live there, never was.' Bradie placed his hand on his shoulder,
"You okay? Every time you come back you seem so... Distracted, uptight, was does Liam say to you?" he sighed and un-balled his fists,
"Truth, he tells me the truth, he's my cousin, but I trust you more to be honest. I'll always trust you more," Andy gagged,
"Gosh you guys are so cliche romantic." Shaun rolled his eyes and the two snuggled closer in the chair just making Andy gag even more.
''
Liam ran back through the trees as fast as humanly possible,
"You fucking mongrel, you always hold us up. Where were you?" he shrugged,
"Errands. What're we doing anyway?" Brooke smirked,
"The general was spotted earlier today, security around him's tight but we can deal with it,"
"Where was he?" if he knew he could tell Shaun, he'd have him killed in a flash,
"The old abandoned cottage, just outside the woods. So now we're going to go get him, simple," 'Shaun. Don't respond, just listen. The general's living in an abandoned cottage outside the woods. Send black faces to get him. I have to go. Goodbye.' with a final glance around the group they ran up and went off towards the house.
''
Liam's voice was almost like a dream, but sure enough he told the black faces,
'Master Shaun how are you not certain it is a trap?' it posed a good question, yes Liam said he was family, but how did he know he was trustworthy? He sighed,
'I don't. We'll all go. And by that I mean you guys and me. I'm leaving Bradie and Andy out of this. I don't want them hurt.' The van stopped outside the hotel where they were all staying at, just beyond the centre of the Werewolf Lands. Once Bradie and Andy were fully occupied, and asleep, Shaun snuck out with a group of black faces.
'Master Shaun, we can sense your unease,' he laughed darkly,
"Yeah, I'm uneasy alright. One about facing the general, two about the full moon in two nights, and three, every other Diviney member I'm yet to come across." a black face put a hand on his shoulder for comfort and they proceeded towards the cottage.
"I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THAT BOY IS! CLEARLY HE CAN'T POSSIBLY BE ALLOWED TO LIVE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO? SHAUN DIVINEY, JACK THE RIPPER, THAT'S WHO!" Fuck. The general wanted him dead, and he was about to barge right in. Beside him the leaves rustled, his head snapped towards the sound, a wolf with golden fur stood beside him,
'Huh, hello there Shaun. It appears it wasn't a rumor,' he rolled his eyes, obviously this one was Brooke, after all it was the voice of a woman,
'Brooke who the fuck are you talking to?' a wolf of the same size yet with chocolate brown fur strode up to meet her, Luke he presumed, 'Fuck. He is here, why is he smirking? He can hear us can't he?' a familiar laughter filled his mind, Liam,
'Gosh Luke, you are a dick head, he's one of us.' Shaun continued to smirk and ignoring the wolves strode towards the front door of where the general was staying, black faces in his pursuit, twenty of them. He heard growling and Brooke pounced in front of him, "Move bitch. I have something to do,"
'What get fucking killed?' he sighed and motioned to the black faces,
'You can all hear me, I'm fine, I don't need your help. But stay if you wish.' he directed his attention to the black faces and nodded. Suddenly they kicked down the door and Shaun stood in the doorway, "Long time no see, so, you want me dead do you?" he peered into the general's mind, he was nothing but a lonely man, no wife, no kids, no family, the authority was his only family. 'Kill him, pin him to the wall.'
''
She sat peering into the window, who did he think he was telling them to back off? But she soon realized he was right in not needing their help. It took several black faces to hold him to the wall. Her and the boys watched on as Shaun grasped the general's head in his hands and with a sickening pleasureful groan his eyes turned the brightest she'd ever seen one go. Evil, pure evil. "Say hello to my mother for me would you?" from the depths of his throat came a deep wicked laugh. She tried to look away fearing his next actions but she couldn't, it was just like watching a horror movie except this was real life. With a spine tingling snap he broke he general's neck leaving his head limp and his shoulders.
''
Power. He felt powerful, as if killing the general was a great achievement, one he should be recognized for. 'Burn the body. I'll deal with the on-lookers.' the black faces nodded and followed after him, dragging the general's lifeless body out to the depths of the forest. By now the wolves were once again human, Brooke standing right beside the doorway, her long brown hair draped over her shoulders contrasting with her emerald green singlet and pale denim shorts,
"She's pissed, she saw evil in your eyes." Liam explained, next to him was Luke with dark scraggly hair and acid wash jeans.
"Which of course was true man, fuck you were scary in there." he tried to focus on what Liam had said instead of Luke's deep voice.
"I... I have to go back to Bradie and Andy. I'll see you guys in the future." Once back at the hotel he replayed the nights events in his head, was he safe anywhere to be who he was? No. Definitely not. He lay down in the bed, Bradie crawling under the sheets next to him resting his hear against the cotton of his grey blazer. "Bradie... You'd stay with me if I were a bad guy right?" Bradie looked up at him, the dim light from the lamp twinkling in his eyes,
"Of course, why?" he sighed, why keep it from Bradie?
"When I was out I went and killed the general. Which on the plus side means we can go back to Bat Country before the full moon, but Liam and the others were there and they saw pure evil in my eyes. I was just over thinking I suppose," Bradie smiled and kissed his chest,
"It's fine, you're fine. All this power just goes to your head, and for some people it makes then a good person, for you obviously it does the opposite. Regardless I'll stand beside you, and with a few adjustments to Andy's mind he'll be there too." Shaun couldn't help but laugh,
"A few? You're fucking kidding me, more like hundreds, he's always forgetting shit." a pillow sailed across the room and narrowly missed Shaun's side, "Go to sleep you fuck. Or at least stop eavesdropping," he groaned and threw another one at them, "Mother fucker." he muttered and Bradie kissed his jaw making a smile replace the scowl on his face. "Together forever," he whispered and closed his eyes, Bradie's response nothing but a sheer memory as he drifted into sleep,
"Eternity and onwards."
''
He looked down at his what he could see of himself, scars, welts, bruises, burns and cuts scattered across his skin. He still had trouble figuring out exactly what he'd done to make Shaun so angry, the door opened up to reveal another black face holding a knife, "Where's Shaun?" it twirled the knife over it's knuckles and handed him a note, he took it straight away and ripped it open, 'Master Shaun will be returning tomorrow morning before sunset. He will deal with you from there.' he wasn't sure how to respond, Shaun seemed ruthless and prepared to kill him at any moment, the black faces simply tortured him, in his case Shaun seemed the better option, death seemed the better option.
''
The familiar smell of home filled the air around Liam calming his senses, it had been rough the past day, his hopes were set on today being better. "Where were you last night? You know you shouldn't be out late when full moon is on the cusp," his mother's nagging voice cut through his serenity, should she know about Shaun? After all wasn't he returning to Bat Country today?
"Out hunting the general, but we weren't needed, Shaun and the black faces stepped in and killed him." his mother's eyes went wide, was she going to scream and throw a tantrum? He hoped not.
"As in Diviney? As in that scumbag's son?" he nodded and she ground her teeth together, "How long was he here?" he shoved a fresh cookie into his mouth, chocolate chips melting instantly,
"Just yesterday, he's going back to Bat Country today. Don't blame him mum, it's where he lives, he calls it home. If it's any consolidation he destroyed the authority and is torturing Uncle Donald." she sighed and he smirked, the thoughts of her brother in law in pain always calmed her down. Deep down Liam feared he was going to miss Shaun, he made a mental note to sneak out one night and visit him, just for the sake of it.
''
The dark grey sky crackled around them, they were back in Bat Country alright, a somewhat werewolf, his best friend, his somewhat boyfriend and his own army of black faces.
'Shaun, your father is requesting you, is it possible for you to come quicker?' he slid his hand further into Bradie's back pocket and Andy walked ahead,
'Give me a minute, we're not even in the building yet. But sure, I'm feeling generous today though, so I probably won't kill him yet.' the black faces could understand his joy, he'd rid his world of everyone wanting him dead, found who, well what he was, and finally gotten what he wanted, happiness, peace, and someone to be there, someone who cares, Bradie. If there was anyone who should've been as happy as him at that moment it could've only been Bradie for knowing and catching onto Shaun's joy. Together they were perfect, like puzzle pieces, for eternity and onwards.
