ITS A WILD LIFE
Chapter twenty : As Long as you love me
While the guys had been going through the receptionist and the Security Check, the girls were gazing at the beautiful alien scenery visible from the ship's windows.
"Wow, it's gorgeous! It's not all blue and black like our Earth sky, but the purples and pinks are really too beautiful to be true!" Julie sighed, as she watched the night sky with its silvery moon. This planet had two moons, losing one when that meteor hit it.
"Yeah, it's amazing! And also, the oranges and lilac really brings out the cloudless freedom of it!" Gwen agreed.
The two stood side-by-side, elbows on the window-sill, chins resting on their laced fingers.
"The sky reminds me of...Anodites", Julie spoke, her caramel eyes on the sky. Gwen chuckled at her sentence, "Really? Beside me and my grandma, how many have you seen?"
"Your grandma is all I need! She's more Anodite than I would need to understand!" Julie laughed and Gwen joined her, "Yeah, my grandma is really something!"
Their chuckles and laughter rang softly for a few minutes, till slowly subsiding into silence. And they went back to sky-watching.
"How pretty the moon looks! It almost reminds me of being on Earth, if it weren't for the fact that I'm watching it from a Spaceship!"
"Hmmmm, true. It's all big and silvery, just like the one on Earth. Like a large beautiful disk hanging in the sky."
The two stared happily at the moon. Until –
"The moon's all, big and round..." Julie mumbled, straightening up. Gwen straightened up too. Their faces lost their smiles.
"And full..." they whispered together, the green eyes and brown eyes as large as the moon itself, staring in horror at the elegant disk in the sky.
Slowly turning to each other, they faced their deadly pale faces.
"BEN!" they screamed at each other.
o.o.o
The receptionist looked up in surprise when two girls ran up to her desk, gasping and panting out of breath.
"Yes, do you have an appointment?"
"We- no, Ben - he- full moon, - we must- stop- warn -" Julie panted, bending double, one hand on her knee other on her tummy. Gwen added, shaking her head unable to breath faster than she needed, "Ben- Vulphrus- stop- warn- Kevin-"
The receptionist looked blankly at the girls who stammered their odd string of words. What's more, she could not even hear the words tumbling out of their mouths, thanks to their ragged breathing.
"Sorry?" she asked in her crisp voice.
"It's a full moon here! Ben's gonna turn into a Full VULPHOROUS!" they screamed together with the little breath they managed to get back.
The woman's eyes twitched once, her eyebrows moved up slowly. "Oh, but he's already in - "
"We gotta warn the Kevin!"
The receptionist sighed calmly, "The patient is being fetched to the doctor who is skilled enough. The patient will be sedated and will not transform to anyone's danger at all."
"But, Doctor Sands said something about the gravitational pull of the full moon being involved in the transformation, don't you think that the moon here being larger and closer to this planet than our moon was to Earth, would make a very big difference?!" Julie asked breathlessly, panic infecting her voice to go high pitched.
The woman pushed up her glasses with a single slim finger, "I'm sorry, but he will be alright, he is accompanied by two interns and a Plumber you brought along. And I'm sorry I cannot let anyone past this point unless you have an appointment, or wish to make one."
Seeing that the woman was not catching the seriousness of the situation, Gwen bravely stepped forward closer to the desk so that the woman and Julie were only able to hear as the Anodite spoke in trembling tones, "Look ma'am, you know that guy who talked to you? The one with the black hair and muscular built, who was with Ben? His name is Kevin and he is ... Ben's sexual attraction, and if Kevin's not warned about this detail about the moon here, he will not have a clue about the transformation. Ben is going to rip him into pieces!"
"Please, you gotta let us in!" Julie added beseechingly. The woman looked indecisive as she asked gently, "But how do I know you are with the patient and not an enemy wishing to eradicate him? There are rather strict rules about identity, you know."
Gwen sighed visibly, running her fingers through her sweating fringe, "My name is Gwen Tennyson, I'm Max Tennyson's granddaughter and Ben's cousin; I share a deep resemblance to him right?" and in reply the woman nodded a little unsurely. Gwen impatiently gestured to Julie, "This is Julie Yamamoto, my best friend and she's also Ben's ex-girlfriend, and I might add, they are very good friends now; so, if you would please, kindly let us through! Kevin has already been through a Decontamination Process and I have heard that no human can survive more than one! Ben and Kevin consider each other as their lives and Ben would not live on if Kevin is no more! I might add this is Ben Tennyson, Wielder of the Omnitrix, Saviour of the Universe, are there no compromises for that?!"
The receptionist gazed rather stumped at the red-head who was leaning in on her, the beautiful teen face emotional and red-cheeked. Julie looked as if she was praying, pressing her palms together, fingers locked, against her chest.
The receptionist blinked and nodded. Pressing the intercom, "Merissa, please give me the status of the patient named Ben Tennyson?"
The voice of the woman was that of the Security Check, "He just left the room after his check. He's on his way to the Theatre. Is there a problem?"
The receptionist looked at the girls and twitched her head towards the door, and the girls raced off, "Well, two girls will approach you, please let them through."
"Patients?"
"No. They have rather bad news."
The next moment, the Security Checks door opened and the two girls tumbled in. Julie spoke in a hurry, "Where's the way to the Operation Theatre?!"
The woman, Merissa, looked at them in surprise, "Uh, what is the trouble actually?"
"It's a full moon outside and Ben is a Vulphorous and...please, ask the receptionist for details , we need to go NOW!"
The woman pointed at the exit door and Gwen caught Julie's hand to run as fast as the two could. Once the two disappeared out the door, she spoke into the intercom, "Bad news?"
o.o.o
The five of the guys walked with the interns across the circular hall. The were walking exactly at the center of the hall when two voices echoed through the hall rebounding in panic from the walls.
"KEVIN!"
The group stopped. Max, Jack, Paulo and Kevin turned around. The interns turned too. They saw Gwen and Julie who were running in fear towards them. Maybe the girls knew that if they ran all the way to the guys, they would lose their breath again and be too late in their warning. Or maybe they were just scared of Ben. Either way, they stood several feet away, deciding to shout out their message, their faces pale and shocked, "Kevin! Watch out! It's a full moon on the Floating Xoar!"
It didn't take the guys a moment longer to connect the dots. After all, they knew of Vulphori well enough to know what a full moon does.
Max's eyes widened. Of course... damn it! I didn't see that coming!
They all slowly turned to see Ben... who hadn't turned around yet.
The slim brunette stood with his back to the guys, his hands cuffed behind himself, his head a little low. The interns stepped back away from Ben slowly. There was a bit of confusion, the guys all looked at each other. There was a momentary silence, when all of a sudden, a chuckle sounded in the air. All eyes fell on the source of the chuckle.
Ben.
His shoulder shook as he chuckled, then sneered, and finally laughed, throwing back his head. The sinister quality of his laugh made them all step back a little more.
"I am so TIRED of this crap," the voice came from Ben, although his face was not visible. His wrist pulled apart, the laser chain connecting his cuffs strained taught, "So tired of trying again an' again." He tugged his wrists further apart, the chain straining even more.
"Starving me again and again; putting me in that fuckin' green diet," his spine rose and fell as he panted gently, his hands now apart as maximum as possible with the cuffs on. His arms trembled as he tugged further, small lines of bruises etching on his wrists as he resisted the metal bangles. This lines of blood oozed off his now cut wrists, trickling to his fingers.
One would expect Ben to be unable to break the chain due to his slim built, but that hope was dashed to the ground when a sudden creak and a snap sounded. Ben's hands were now raised to his either sides, free. Dangling on his bleeding wrists was each, a silver-black-blue amulet-like cuff, with half a string of broken optic-fibre thread each. His hands lowered themselves and disappeared from view when he pulled them in front of himself.
"I have HAD it! No more waiting!" he growled angrily in slow tones.
'Clinck!' the cuffs were tugged off his wrists one after the other and thrown on the floor. Wasted, they were of no use sitting around his wrists anyway.
Turning around, Ben faced his group of friends and family. The interns gasped a little; Ben's adorable green eyes were now a fiery lime-green, his hair going a little dark in colour. It was almost shocking how someone who seemed so gentle and cheery could look so dark and dangerous. The said toxic-green eyes slowly slid over every face, till it finally landed on Kevin's. Kevin had been pulled back, away from Ben, but he wasn't far enough. And the sight of him made Ben sneer a little, showcasing a small preview of his sharp incisors gleaming in his mouth.
"I'm havin' my fill of Kevin. And whoever stands in my way will become my appetizer", Ben hissed as he raised his left hand to his right cheek, his tongue flicking out to lick at his own rust-tasting blood that smeared off his wrist, while his eyes visually devoured Kevin's fear-struck face. As the blood tingled on his thirsty taste-buds and boiled his lust further, he grinned wider, smearing his wrist across his lips before letting his arm fall to his side. A small tongue flicked out again, lapping away any red liquid remnant on his full lips for him to relish.
Watching Ben have a taste of his own blood made Kevin's stomach churn. It would have turned him on, had it not been the fact that his life was in danger at present.
A sudden growl and thunderous roar brought Kevin out of his thoughts; Ben was transforming. Rapidly than he had on the full moon night on Earth. He was already taller and growing a tail. His skin was already blue and black. His claws were sharp and ready, his teeth gleamed in his grimacing wolf-face.
The girls squealed, holding each other in shock; Ben was twice scarier as a Full than as a Half, due to the fact that he was taller, broader and more hungry. His fur was a little longer, and his eyes were larger. When the beast was bellowing terribly, the girls remembered the terrifying sight they had seen on that night, when Ben had chewed on Kevin's shoulder. Shuddering, they watched Ben growl, grunt and come alive in a wild manner.
Kevin nudged the red-head intern who looked at him through sweating fringes. Kevin's brown eyes flashed as he hissed, "Please, go around Ben and inform Doctor Sands! Now!"
"But I can't...he's standing in the way, and he might eat me if I snuck off around him like that!"
"I'll distract him; take your friend intern and go!"
The red-head nodded vigorously. He turned to his partner and whispered something into his ear. The shock was spread on his face too, but seeing Kevin look at him in hope, he nodded as well. Together, the two men tiptoed out of sight and managed to scrawl off before Ben noticed.
Jack and Paulo cursed their conscience for not having expected this sooner. "Jackie..." Paulo groaned, gripping the blonde's arm in panic, "Will he make it?! We are only a few steps away from his procedure!", the wait and anxiety was too much.
Jack held Paulo's hand as he watched the beast bellow and growl. "D-don't worry, Paulo, he'll make it..."
Almost the next moment, Doctor Sands and Doctor Stacy tore out form the door that led to the corridor which in turn led to the Operation Theatre. Blue eyes fixated on the roaring Ben. Pearl-grey fell on Kevin.
The clever doctors had one intern armed with a tranquiliser gun and another with the drug to sedate the virus. On Doctor Sand's command the blonde and red-head skimmed into the hall, circling the Vulphorous and his group. Meanwhile, Gwen lashed out a hand and encased Ben in a ball of manna to prevent him from attacking anyone. Kevin was caught by the arm by Max and pulled away in the opposite direction, the old man making it for the entrance so that he could keep Kevin safe in Alex-Hepha while they tackled Ben from here. But, the beast saw this coming; he suddenly jumped up, surprising the roof of Gwen's manna ball where she was not concentrating enough, and broke free. In a single bound, the creature covered the ground Max and Kevin sprinted, and for one moment, Kevin was staring right into those humungous green eye, hair's breadth away from his face.
"Gawd!" Kevin jumped back in surprise. The large mouth opened to snap on him, but Max pushed the raven aside to his left roughly and himself fell to his right. Managing to chomp on only air, the Vulphorous turned to Kevin who lay on his side on the floor, trying to sit up. Again the Vulphorous came down on him, but a tendril of manna caught Kevin's leg and yanked him out just in time. Zooming through the air, Kevin was brought to his feet several feet away from Ben and Max. The beast turned to Max this time, maybe a thought of revenge played in his mind. But Paulo and Jack interfered to save Max.
One Vulphorous thereby toyed around with six individuals while his meal, Kevin, stood far off gasping and sweating in the battle. He was being yanked around, thrown around, and he had to run around too, to keep himself alive. His heart was ringing inside his ribs like crazy, and it seemed as fast in beating as the time he took Ben's virginity. His lungs ached too, breathing was hard and ragged, and he felt his knees buckling. But he didn't let all the physical effects dampen him; he needed to help the interns tranquilise Ben and sedate the virus to a zero-resistance. But his very presence would make the matter worse so he didn't want to risk it either.
Stuck in a dilemma, Kevin stood there watching the rest of them deal with an angry, berserk, hungry Full Vulphorous.
Doctor Sands and Doctor Stacy needed to be safe too. So they remained at the threshold of the door leading to the corridor. The male doctor was rather worried; the more Ben stayed about as a Full, the worse it was going to be while removing the virus. And they needed Ben to stay still for the drugs to be shot at him. And Ben seemed to know this; his intelligence was no longer only mad-alien, it was also part human, and humans were very much known for their subtle and sinister thinking, despite their disability in supernatural powers. Ben was deliberately keeping himself moving; swinging around, running, rampaging, so that the interns would miss their mark when they tried to drug him. They couldn't try and get closer for a good shot, or Ben would rip their heads off their shoulders.
Kevin's brown eyes watched the commotion. Although things were happening so fast and quick, and the roaring and screaming was piercing the air, things slowed down around Kevin. He saw it in slow motion, painfully letting him the details of the damage all being caused due to him. Jack and Paulo fought to keep Ben from attacking Max. Gwen and Julie tried to hold down Ben for the interns. Soon, Jack was on the floor hit on the head and one intern went flying against the wall. More growls and roars followed, Gwen helped the fallen intern and healed his wound with a quick nifty spell, and Jack was helped up by Paulo who was thankful that the blonde was not hurt at all. And they all tried again. At the entrance, the receptionist peeped in, too curious to resist watching the scene. Merissa was there with her too.
Kevin knew Ben needed to stay still, in order to be brought down.
Kevin's heart now drummed in synch with the ticking of a clock.
I have to do something to stop this!...but what? What should I do?!
Kevin saw Jack and Paulo again. They had been thrown aside, together, by Ben. Landing somewhere near Kevin, they were about to scamper back to stop Ben.
It suddenly struck Kevin. That's it. That's what I have to do. It's not the best answer but it's the only one.
Paulo blinked to see Kevin move a little towards Ben who was trying to hit all of them together, the Vulphorous' attention diverted from Kevin at the moment. Paulo shook Jack's shoulder and when the blonde looked at him, he pointed to Kevin. Following Paulo's finger, Jack saw Kevin with his brown eyes fixed determined and brave, on Ben.
"What's he...?" Paulo asked, surprised, swiping the sweat off his forehead. Jack panted, holding on to Paulo's arm, while his blue eyes were on Kevin.
What surprised the two even more was when Kevin raised his hands to his head and further to his back, gripping his black shirt and tugging it forward, off his head. Once the shirt was off, he threw it to the ground. He seemed to be about to strip his grey full-sleeve shirt as well, but Jack and Paulo ran up to him and stopped him.
"Whatdyu think you're doing?! You crazy?! Exposing your body would make Ben go worse than wild!" Jack snapped at him, catching his arm to restrict him from removing his shirt. Kevin shooed him off, tugging away his arm, "Lemme go, I know what I'm doing!"
"You clearly don't!" Jack replied angrily. The two machos wrestled like that, Jack trying to stop Kevin from taking off his shirt. It finally ended with Jack gripping Kevin's jaw to look him directly in the eye, their faces only an inch away, noses almost touching. Since they were of the same height, they were face-to-face in perfect level, staring at each other in proximity. Electric blue bore into chocolate-mahogany, "What's the hell wrong with you?! Why're you doing this?!"
The beautiful caramel irises zipped between both of Jack's blue ones and he didn't even reply. Jack didn't need the words; he suddenly understood Kevin's motive just by reading his eyes. His blues widened as he gasped, "No way...you're not gonna...are you gonna do what I think you're gonna...?"
Kevin raised a hand to the blonde's hand that was gripping his chin and pulled the hand away gently, saying, "You know I am. Nothing's gonna change my mind now."
"But you're INSANE! Is it 'cause I did it too? Years ago I did it 'cause of necessity!" Jack snapped angrily, pushing himself off Kevin's chest. Kevin snapped back, "I'm gonna do it 'cause of necessity too!"
"You don't have to! You've got, like, so many guys here to help you! What the fuck are you -"
"We had so many guys to help us too, back then! Did that stop you?!"
"Kevin; you can't; you've already been through a Decontamination Procedure once; while back then, I hadn't! That's a big difference!"
Kevin lurched forward and gripped Jack's collar and yanked him closer as he hissed into his face, "You see that guy over there? I love him, and I am not going to let fear of death stop me from saving him from a virus! Why should I elaborate to you?! You did the same, so you can understand the storm brewing inside of me!"
"Kevin you can't-"
"Listen up Jack; I'll do anything for Ben. I'm in love. But you ain't got enough balls to admit your love. So, how about you leave me to my choices?!"
Jack's blue eyes shrank back. His face was going pale.
Paulo stared in utter confusion. What were these two yapping about? And what is this about doing something? Paulo couldn't understand, but he knew Kevin was going to attempt something not going to end well for him.
"Jackie? Kevin?" Paulo squeaked. Kevin whipped his head to Paulo and then let go of Jack's collar. Kevin turned back to the farther area where Ben fought the interns and his family.
"Don't try to stop me", Kevin warned looking over his shoulder. He walked a little closer to Ben. He was several feet away from the Vulphorous, but he was carefully judging the safe distance for the interns in case Ben decided to do something clever in between. "Move back, real back", Kevin ordered.
Jack and Paulo walked backwards till they were ten steps away from Kevin.
Paulo looked at Jack for explanations, "What was he talking about, Jackie? What's this that you did, and he's gonna do, and stuff?!"
Jack lowered his head, sighing in anxiety for Kevin, "That son of a... he's gonna get himself killed!" he shook his head, pressing a hand to his face.
"Jackie! You didn't answer my ques-"
"You remember years ago, when you became a Vulphorous?"
"Uh, yeah?" he frowned in a fear that came out of nowhere.
"That I 'tripped' and you bit me? Yeah, actually I DIDN'T trip, Paulo; I let myself fall. I did it on purpose; I made myself be a bait so that when you fed on me, the guys could drug you and safely escort you to the clinic."
Paulo's face widened, his frown disappeared as he gaped at his fellow DBS member. His face was twice the pale he was, his eyes were wide from behind his glasses, "W-what...?"
"You heard right, and I know you're gonna curse me or something, I don't know really what, but what I do know is that Kevin is the only person I told my motive to, and now he's gonna do the same fucking thing!" Jack gestured to Kevin who was walking away carefully making close distance to the oblivious Vulphorous.
"You sacrificed yourself, for curing me?..." Paulo whispered gently. Jack looked at him, little flustered, "Well, I had no choice, I wanted to help you..." but then there was a sudden commotion that made them both turn to the group fighting Ben.
Kevin had stripped off his grey shirt as well. He stood there in his semi-naked glory and called out, to everyone's shock, "YO, BEN!"
Stark silence.
Not a body moved for a moment's time. Even the roaring had stopped. Ben slowly turned his huge form, towards the direction of Kevin's voice. For a long thirty seconds, the green wide eyes scanned the raven; Kevin was a vision of a demi-god to Ben, a sex-on-legs, his chiselled chest heaving gently, his abs rippling in the effort to strain his panting to a calm breathing, his biceps and triceps all visible to Ben's hungry vision. There was no fear or pallor on Kevin's face. It just made Ben all the more horny, that is, if it were possible to be hornier after visually drinking the sight of the muscular abdomen.
Every other face in the hall went paper-white in suspense; Kevin had just kindled Ben's lust to maximum. And used himself as bait. Jack and Paulo bit their lips.
Ben seemed to not move, so Kevin (taking a calm breath) spoke in rather daring tones: -
"Hey benji; dinner's served."
He had raised his arms to his either side in a gesture of submission in defeat, or aptly like as if he was inviting Ben for a hug.
That was all Ben needed to hear. It had shot a cannon inside his tummy and he let out a delighted roar that terrorised everyone's ear. Kevin braced himself for his death-bite.
This was it.
After this, he will never see Ben again; he was obviously going to die, for no human ever survived a second Decontamination Process. But happy that he would be dying in the arms of one he loved deeper than he had ever thought he could love, Kevin clenched his teeth as the Vulphorous ran to him in top speed. Paulo turned away when the large blue-black body pounced on Kevin in full thrust. The two dropped to the floor.
Everything seemed to move super-slow now.
"UUUURGHHH!" Kevin groaned thickly, his eyes bulged from his sockets as large sharp teeth sank deep into his shoulder, the very same right shoulder he was bit not even a month ago, blood spurting out wherever the incisors tore, the thick veins on his strong neck and biceps standing out in effort. Arching his back against the beast's chest, with his mouth gaping, Kevin let the burning heat of pain swim through him in furious waves. For a second the expression on his handsome face would be mistaken for being masochistically aroused. Kevin had not expected severe pain to be so...delicious and arousing; maybe he had been harbouring a secret masochist inside of him; or maybe it was just the satisfaction that it was Ben delivering him to Heaven, or Hell, whichever he was destined for.
They satisfied each other; Ben relishing the sweet blood gushing into his throat, the indent of his previous bite making it easier to enjoy what he had been so cruelly denied for days and days. Kevin actually happy to feel the white hot burn running a marathon up and down his body, his eyes watering in the pain that his mind enjoyed, the alarms ringing and blaring in his head, his heart fighting to pump blood that would only end up into Ben's mouth, lungs ready to work till Kevin took his last breath. Ben held Kevin's upper body a little inclined-up using only one large clawed hand, while the other large hand clawed onto the ground in the unbearably amazing feeling of quenching his burning insides.
Kevin raised his left hand, trembling in the physical response of pain, and he could barely have it move but he managed to place his hand on Ben's large powerful neck, gripping onto the blue fur that felt like soft silk, or like one of those cushion covers he had secretly liked although he mocked them as girly. If anything, he wanted to pull the cannibal closer to himself. His right hand was paralysed in the pain, so he could only hold onto the Vulphorous by one hand on the neck, that too he could not cover entirely because Ben's neck was huge even compared to Kevin's arm.
Consciousness was slowly slipping away. His vision was clouding and blurring like each of those times Ben had him climaxing, only here there was no moving or thrusting. The sharp ivory, enamel triangles moved, slicing into the flesh deeper as Ben clamped a little tighter on to the shoulder, making Kevin wince closer into the fur, and grip harder on to the neck, more involuntary tears spill out his eyes. Ben still smelt of that same fruity smell as Kevin observed light-headedly, he could hear all sorts of sound now; screaming and shouting of people. His ears could only pick up a few words from the amalgam of voices.
...-shoot-fast-qui-intern-al-in-thank- ... the voices went, Kevin was unable to make out who said what, because of the awful buzz humming irritably in his ear, and from what Kevin processed the weird words, he understood that the group of friends were to shoot the tranquiliser and drug at Ben any time now.
As if on cue, the mouth gripping onto his shoulder loosened a little, green eyes bulging.
"Ohhhhurrhhghggh" the beast groaned as he slowly went limp under the serpentine effect of the tranquiliser that pierced his back, every part of his body shutting down one-by-one. Kevin too felt his eye-lids grow as heavy as iron gates, his breath no longer pulling; he was slowly going to a sweet sensation of weightlessness. The limp beast absent-mindedly nuzzled his large head closer to Kevin's bloody torn shoulder, while Kevin smiled gently, his fingers still gripping the blue fur, whispering "I love you too, Ben..." as he slowly blacked out.
- End of Chapter -
So Kevin's dead...? :(
