Axel's POV (Point of View)

"Put him down there Riku."
"Next to the wolf?"
"No, on him."
"There?"
Extra weight fell onto my stomach lightly.
"No, Riku, closer to his head."
The thing moved downwards.
"Not that head!"
"Oh."
It moved upwards until it reached my shoulder.
"Like that, Sora?"
"Yeah."
There was a small pause.
"They look so cute, Riku."
"Not as cute as you."
"Aw, you suck up."
A small laugh was heard from the first voice. I scrunched my nose softly.
"Aaaah, I think we woke him up."
"Scared of the big bad wolf, Sora?"
Another pause.
"Aw, i'll protect you, young one."
"Oh yes please, wise ass."
Two chuckles this time.

I groaned softly and rubbed my head, finding it quite difficult having this extra weight on my shoulder. I squinted my eyes but they closed without my permission. I guess I was really tired. I tried, once more to open them, this time, succeeding in my plan. Sora and Riku were standing in front of me, one smiling his usual joyful grin, the other, uncharacteristically smirking. I raised an eyebrow and lifted up my body to get a better look at his body image and gasped at the giant syringe he was holding in his hands. I threw myself off the bed and landed on the floor with a crash, waving my arms around madly.

Sora jumped onto my chest and his palms grabbed my face. In his left hand, I noticed another syringe, taunting me with its sharp edge. I screamed but immediately fell sick as the whole fearing emotion flew out of my body. "Ssssh, calm down Axel. It's okay. We won't hurt you." He whispered into my ear, soothing me with his calm voice.
"W-W-What's the needle for?" I groaned, still staring at the razor sharp point, which was smiling evilly back at me.
"We just need blood from you and Roxas. That's all."
I groaned, closing my eyes and keeping them tightly locked. "But my blood is Roxas' why can't you just take his?"
Riku sighed with irritation, probably because I was acting like a child. But he hangs around with the mother of all kids. Shouldn't he be used to it? "Because it may change slightly while it runs through his body. We don't know, that's why we're experimenting."
"I'm an experiment!" I yelled, probably louder than it needed to be.
Sora shook his head. "No Axel. This is all we need. It will help us know more about what's happening to Roxas." He added a smile to the end of that, just for support.
I groaned. "Can't you just… knock me out or something?"
"Can do." Riku beamed sadistically.
Riku's hand covered my face and within a millisecond, I was out like a light.

I woke up with a started, my head bashing against a wardrobe door. When the hell did that get there! I rubbed my sore forehead as a stabbing headache appeared but I pushed myself off the ground, in hopes to find something to get rid of this aching pain which just flew out of no where.

I walked out the door and unsteadily trotted down the narrow hallways, using my arms on the walls as support to keep my body balance.
"Think this will keep Roxas alive?"
I stopped at a door as I heard the one word 'Roxas' enter my ears. I turned around and eavesdropped into the conversation, wondering what the vampires were talking about.
"I do not know. It may. He's in pretty bad shape as it is; we don't want him getting worse."
"Aw, Vincent, it's not your fault."
"It's my entire fault Sora. I killed him."
"Nooooo~ It's not. How were you supposed to know? Anyone could have made that mistake. Even Riku!"
"Thanks Sora. I love you too."
The voice –I think Vincent- sighed. "No. It is, and just to make it worse, the boy still doesn't know."
"He will never know Vincent. It's best for him."
"You shouldn't know either, Sora. It'll be my fault if Sephiroth gets you."
"No Riku! Never. He will never touch me. As long as I have you two Brothers here. No one will touch anyone in this pack. Believe in yourself, Riku. Sepiroth has no chance against both his siblings."
"You say it with such confidence, Sora. So much. You have not seen the power my little brother seals within. I do not know if we can keep you alive much longer. My father will not allow it."
"Just believe Vincent. Two against one. We have the upper cut." I noticed the "we" in this sentence. Was he apart of it too?

My mind began racing with questions. I couldn't answer any of them. Who was this Sepiroth? How did Vincent kill Roxas? Were they just playing a game on me? What does this even have to do with my blood?

Without hesitation, I opened the door to reveal, Sora, Riku and Vincent all huddled up behind a metal table, like the ones people operate on. The three bloodsuckers all glared at me, even the Happy Little Elf.

The rooms atmosphere cut into my throat, I tried to gulp but even then my blood being to boil and my pulse began to run. There were large machines rumbling around, groaning and moaning steam from their values. Large vials and beakers were set all over the table, some bubbling red liquid, others staying still with my blood inside of them and a few minor glass full containers changed colour. They were experimenting. On me. On Roxas. My blood. I gulped but asked the one question which was prickling my mind. "What did you do to Roxas?"

Vincent held his head down in shame, looking at the clean sparkling white-tiled ground. Sora patted him on the back softly, trying to cheer him up but it was no use. Riku sighed softly and walked over to the corner of the room, sliding his back down on the wall till he hit the ground and laid there comfortably, watching my every move.
"I didn't know it was him. It was a mistake." Vincent muttered.
"What mistake? What did you do?" I asked, eager for an answer.
"I…" He kept his head down. "I… nearly took his life, while taking his life."
I raised an eyebrow. You lost me.
"It's a long story."
I closed the door behind me and jumped onto the sliver metallic table eagerly. "I've got time. Please?" I begged.
Vincent gave it with a harsh sigh. "Well… it all started… when the rules of Vampires were created. The Rules of the Damned they called it. Its kinda like a contract all doomed beings must go through."
I nodded, fascinated.
He smiled faintly. "Well… one of the main rules is "Tuer tö'est être getötet."'
My other eyebrow raised.
His smiled widened from my intellect.
"It means, 'to kill is to be killed' in the Vampire language."
"You have your own language!" I commented, stunned. We didn't have a native tongue. I doubt we even had anything like that! Man, Vampires are cool! And smart!
He nodded, "All the rule says is, if you kill someone, and they become a vampire without a Script, you'll be hunted down by the Three Brothers."
"Oh yeah. Roxas told me about them. The three sons of Satan, correct?"
He nodded.

From the corner of my eye, I saw a small glint shine in Riku's eye. He immediately caught Sora's who, had a very worried look painted on his face. Did the Three Brothers do something to him?
"Well… That's what I did. I killed a person who became a vampire without a Script."
Sora's face fell down.
"What's a Script?" I wondered, tilting my head softly.
"A Script is what Satan gives you if he wants you to Reborn someone. So, he pretty much is commanding you to go kill someone and make them a Vampire."
"How do you get them?"
"He gives them to you. End of story. It's very rare you'll receive one, maybe once in a vampire's lifetime. No one wants an overcrowded population of blood suckers." I nodded, I guess that was logical. "He mostly gave them out to the Three Brothers."
My head titled again.

"I was given a Script to kill Roxas for reasons… werewolves aren't allowed to know." That surprised me. So, I'm allowed to know all this knowledge of the history of Vampires, but not why Roxas was Reborn? Why was that? "But I accidently killed someone else."
I gasped, "What!"
Sora's face fell down.
"You see." Vincent started his speech. "Vampires need an exact amount of Vampire venom inside their system to be able to be Reborn into our race, and, when it came to biting Roxas, I had used it all on my other victim."
Sora shuffled in his spot and walked over next to me, jumping up onto the table and wiggling under my arm until he was comfortable. I smiled softly and stroked his hair. He was a mini Roxas.

"When I was going to bite Roxas, he was with another person and at that time, I thought the other creature was him."
I tilted my head again, "But wouldn't they look differently?"
"I didn't know what he looked like at the time. On the Script, all it says is their names and where they live. That's it. The rest you have to solve yourself."
I nodded, accepting that fact.

"Roxas was with a person who was intoxicated with a deadly virus that was killing a lot of the human population. Logically, I thought that person would have been him, making it easier for us to kill them. Satan sometimes helps us. On rare occasions, he makes the doomed human ill with something so they're easier to destroy. He's not all heartless."
I chuckled softly, shaking my head at his cruel joke.
He smiled back at my reaction. "I attacked the helpless soul and used up about ninety percent of my venom on him. Naturally, Roxas thought I killed him, since, back then, he would have no idea who or what I was. He fought me, trying to throw punches at my face and doing anything he could to even give me the slightly pain. Of course, nothing could hurt me, but I still became quite irritated so, out of a habit I guess, I bit him.

"Roxas fell down easily and collapsed, transforming very slowly. But, sadly, he only got ten percent of my venom so he hasn't completely developed. Although, he was made to be one of us, he still only has a small amount of his body developed so something must be wrong with him. I can't do any tests on him without him becoming suspicious so I can't find out what exactly problem but, from what I know, it's nothing on the outside. He can run faster than us – so it's not that -, he has the right body shape and size, he is well equipped with powers and such, so it must be something within him. I'm guessing his immune system."
I raised an eyebrow.
"Vampires have high immune systems, so that is probably faulty."
I nodded. 'Who was the other vampire you bit, if I may ask is he still alive?"
Sora flinched under my arm, the vibrations shaking all over my body. "Yes. I am."
I gasped, "You!"
He smiled softly. "I did say we were brothers." He added a small laugh after that and pecked my hand softly before jumping out and running into Riku's arms, who greeted him with a bigger kiss.

I turned my head away from the happy couple, who were pretty much sucking off each others faces. I envied them. Since Roxas and I officially started dating, we haven't exactly showed off our affection for each other. The only thing we've done was kiss. I'm sure Riku and Sora have kissed more than we have. I'm sure they've even had sex. A lot… Yeah, they've had sex. Like two monkeys in a barrel. Mmm… Monkey food.

Vincent was still upset. His head was down lower to the ground so you could only see the top of his head. I felt like getting up and hugging him, but seeing as I'm still the enemy in this pack, I should try and avoid that.
"Axel."
Vincent poked his head up after he spoke, I tried cheering him up with a faint smile.
It didn't work. "You should go back to your pack."
My smile turned into a frown, "Why?"
"Because you've been here long enough. They'll start to get suspicious about where you go all the time. Go back for a few days and then come back here later."
I nodded at his very wise comment. It was true. I have been spending a lot of my time with the Vampires and they would get suspicious after awhile.

I jumped into my bed in my Wolf Hideout, a large sigh emitting out of my lungs right after. Larxene stood at my door, rolling her eyes as I glared at her, wishing she wouldn't just trespass into my room uninvited. I wasn't straight anymore. So I didn't find her amusing.
"Soooooooo~" she sang. Knowing Le-Bitch, she was thinking of some evil plot to get my ass kicked in by Xenmas. Or, she has already done that and now is about to rub it in my face before he comes and spears me in my stomach. "How's your girlfriend going?"
I raised an eyebrow, she's quick. "Girlfriend?"
She nodded, walking like a model –one foot in front of the other- towards my bed and sitting in my lap, her lips puckered out. "Yeah. Well, think about it, you've been going out a lot lately and every time you come back, you're exhausted. Unless you're out masturbating, well then, I don't want to know."
I rolled my eyes in a non humorous manor. She always had two things to say to me: 'Are you masturbating?' or 'Were you masturbating?' That's it. Shows what women know. Seriously, could she get anymore stupider?

I sighed and rubbed my red hair, wiping about the sweat beads. "Yes, Larxy. Of course." Sarcasm, obviously, but, still. If I know my blonde bitch, she probably had a wire strapped around her boobs. Not only to make her "twins" look bigger, but also to get my 'confession' on tape. Damn woman. They make life so much harder. Maybe that's why I'm attracted to Roxas…

"Larxy."
"Mmmm?" She hummed, looking down at her freshly painted fingernails. I looked at mine. Filled with dirt and god knows what else.
"You want to know something?"
"Yessss." She hissed passionately, getting her hopes up now.
"I'm gay."
She burst into laughter.

Although it was true, she didn't know that. She thought I was lying. They all did. All the werewolves always – no matter what I say – would think I wasn't telling the truth. I could say Xenmas' hair was grey, yet somehow they'll think of an excuse to entitle me of being wrong. Like, saying his hair was "dandy white" or something. Ironically, it was my enemies that trusted me. They could trust me when I told them Roxas was trapped and dying. If they could believe me, how come they couldn't?

Larxene was still pissing herself. She cackled loudly, smacking her hand on her leg every now and then as her mouth was wide open, emitting white noise.

Minutes passed, and she finally settled down. I just sat there, watching her.
She wiped away her tears, sighing with relief. "Ooooooh. That is a good one. Haaaaah. I have to tell that to Demyx. He'll shit his pants when he thinks about Marly like that. Aaah." She wiped her eyes again, nodded then left the room.
I smiled to myself.
Mission accomplished.

The next day was horrible. School was worse, and not having Roxas made it hell.
I rushed up to Sora and Riku, greeting them with a smile and wave. Riku smiled back but Sora frowned.
I frowned in reply, "What's wrong?"
He looked up at me, that glint in his eyes was hidden, under grey fog. Something must have happened… "Oh. Nothing. I'm just thinking."
I looked around, turning my body from side to side without moving my feet. I saw Olette off in the distance, talking to some human chicks and flirting with human boys. I wonder if she actually liked any of them. Would she be allowed to date a human? If Roxas is allowed to date a werewolf then I guess is possible. Or maybe, she's just practising her power. "Where's Roxas?" I asked.
Sora's frown appeared again, "He's at the Hideout. He won't be here today."
"Why?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow. Did I do something?
"He just needs to sleep. He had a long day yesterday."
"Wasn't that long when I was there… Besides the making out, it was a pretty short day." I mumbled.
The couple looked at each other, then back at me with worried faces. What? What did I do?

I spent the whole day with the Vampires, not caring about their race. If anything, it didn't really register in my mind what they were. I just saw them as my friends. That's all they were to me. That's all they'll ever be. We laughed together, chuckled together, and even kissed together. I was forced –by dare- to make out with Olette. Im told by her im a good kisser. Riku says I make a funny face while leaning in, and Sora, well Sora just made a cute noise.

English was hilarious. Sora placed a note slyly on Riku's back saying '24/7' and pointed down to his butt. Everyone in the class was laughing but what he didn't know was Riku got him back with a note saying 'Only for Riku' with arrows going in every direction. After the period ended, Sora finally told his boyfriend about the note, but he never returned the gesture.

The four of us all walked to the Vampire Hideout together, in a quickened pace. They seemed eager to return home. Maybe because of Roxas. I asked them nicely if I was allowed in and together they sang 'yes'. I guess they were expecting me to ask, I'm predictable.

The second I walked into his room I gasped and dashed to his side, wrapping my arms around his waist. He was lying still on his bed and his eyes were shut. Along the sides of his arms were large deep cuts, which were stripped to the bone. My eyes watered up and my nose scrunched up. On his face were small scratches which seemed to collided at the centre of his neck, leaving a long trail of red behind. I couldn't see what damage had been done to his body. He was tightly wrapped in clothes, probably to stop bloodloss.
"W-W... What happened?" I asked, finding it hard to speak.

Sora sat down at my side, slowly rubbing my back softly, trying to calm me down. His eyes gazed over Roxas' body, and then shot back at mine. "He says he got mauled by a bear. But we doubt that. He's trying to cover for someone. We think he got attacked by a vampire or werewolf.'
"Werewolf? Who? My pack?" That wouldn't surprise me. They would pounce at anything that moved. I'd only be surprised at how much damage they did to him. Eleven wolves against one vampire would leave marks like that. But Roxas was faster than them. He could just run away.
"It's hard to tell." Riku replied, cooing in Sora's right ear, keeping his eyes locked on me. "Probably your pack, since they're in our territory, and Roxas may have been trying to protect that, but the scratches could also have come from a weapon a Vampire wields."
I nodded, frustrated. Whoever –or whatever- did that to my Roxas, was going to pay. No matter what. Im here to protect him. No one will ever touch him again.
"Is there anyone out to get him? Anyone even close to it? Does Roxas hate someone?"
"The closest person to that is me, but I didn't do that. Im not skilled enough."

Sora frowned at Riku's response and wrapped his arms around his neck roughly, making Riku support the boy with his neck. "He doesn't hate you. He just… dislikes you, because I spend more time with you then him."
"Maybe you should change that then…"

Sora frowned again, and kissed his boyfriend. "I don't wanna!" He cried, turning into a small five year old child, "I love you! I love Roxas as well but you're mine! He's Axel's! I want you!" He shook his head, his voice reaching a higher tone. 'Of course, I want to spend time with him but he's never here anymore! He's always out in the woods! In the scary part too! I'm not spending my time out there, it creeps me out.'

Riku smiled softly and kissed the brunette back, happy about the reply he got. I turned my head away from the loving couple and looked upon my beloved, who was still sleeping. In the corner of his lips, they were curled. Like he was smiling faintly. Maybe he could hear me… Maybe he could hear us…
"Roxas… I love you."

Sora and Riku stopped instantly. I turned my head and noticed them both staring at me, one with his mouth opened. "What?" I asked. "Not allowed to love someone?"
Riku shook his head but stopped as Sora slapped him one.
"Yes you can it was just… sudden."
I sighed. "Sorry."
"Don't be." The brunette jumped into my lap and kissed my cheek. "Nothing wrong with loving someone Axel. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
"Thank you." I grinned goofily, chuckled softly, Sora following in suit.

Vincent entered into the room soundlessly, and as soon as he was in sight, Sora stopped, closed his mouth and jumped to Riku's side.
The leader nodded to them, they nodded back, and then turned to me. "Axel." He said.
"Yes?" I replied tonelessly.
"I have a mission for you."
"What?"
"It involves… the Three Brothers."
