The cell that I have been placed in is rather dank and dreary, and I know that without the living conditions I need, I will soon die. Though does it truly matter when all I am doing is postponing my death from now until later? I think that I'd much rather die like this, then at the hands of the raging inferno and the temperamental wood. It is so sad that someone as young as myself was accused of being a witch, but these times allow even a babe to be killed for no true reason. I wonder what death will be like. Well, till later dear diary. No, journal suits you better. Till later, journal, should I live that long.

"Hello Lady Kayura." Sage stated with a smile, as he bowed down before her.
"Which animals do you need my help with today?" Kayura smiled at the blonde. He was such a helpful young man. Kayura watched Sage's emotion play across his face the moment that Cye paraded into the room, his velvet shirt flared at the end, a pair of tight black, extremely long, leggings covered his lower torso.
"Hello Sage!" Cye exclaimed as Sage bowed lowly to the other man.
"Hello to you as well, Cye." The gypsy simply grinned at the blonde.
"Cye, may I talk to you alone?" Sage asked politely as Cye turned to his sister and shrugged.
"Of course." Sage smiled sincerely as he and Cye walked out of the tent.
"What is it that you need to tell me?" Sage glanced around at the passing strangers.
"Somewhere were we can be alone." Cye shrugged as he took Sage's arm and led the blonde to one of the alleys.
"So what was it that you needed to tell me?" Cye asked as Sage sighed.
"Ok, I can do this. I'm a noble, and I am used to getting things out on the open. I know I'm betrothed, and I know I just met you, and I know this is wrong, but I am seriously falling in love with you and my assistant said that if no one finds out that maybe I could be with you so I thought that I'd give it a try, but only if you agree of course. So…. Umm…" Sage waited impatiently for a response.
"Oh gods yes. Why the hell would I say no?" It was then that Cye pressed Sage back against the wall, showering him with kisses as Sage simply digested what he had just decided with Cye.
"Sire! I'm sorry to interrupt, but your father wishes to see you, immediately! I think it was something your brother said, but I cannot be sure." Sage nodded as he gently pushed Cye away.
"I have to go Cye. Duty calls." Cye nodded.
"But you're coming back, right?" Sage nodded, giving Cye one last kiss as he ran after Ryo. Cye simply watched with a grin on his face as the figures walked away. ~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~
"Father, you really must not put so much faith in my younger brother. You will be sorely displeased if you do. I mean, the man is gay. And I do not mean that in a happy way! He likes other boys, and apparently, other boys like him too." Cale's father glared down at him, bringing his hand across Cale's face with a resounding crack. Cale winced, but looked his father in the eyes.
"I do nothing but speak to truth."
"You do not! You lie boy, you lie! " Cale rolled his eyes.
"You really should get to know your sons. You'd learn a lot. Like the fact Sage is a virgin and hasn't even KISSED Mia." Cale watched as his father fumed. He smiled. He had never liked his brother. The boy was too much a perfect little goody good. He was the type Cale hated. The pretty ones that get everything without even trying. So getting his brothers one secret out felt amazing.
"He…. what?" Cale smiled.
"What I just said father." Cale stated with a smile.
"Ryo!" Cale's father cried out as the young servant boy ran into the room, kneeling before the lord.
"Yes sire?" He asked as the father glared at him.
"Bring me my son. Quickly." Ryo nodded as he ran out of the room.
"You'll se father, you'll see."
~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~
Quickly, Sage made his way into his father's room. Kneeling before his father, he looked up.
"Yes father? What is it that you have called me for?"
"A few things have been brought to my attention, and I need you to tell me a few things." Sage nodded.
"Anything, father."
"Have you and lady Mia ever consummated your relationship?" Sage flushed red.
"Father, we are not yet married." Sage stated softly as his father rolled his eyes.
"Sage, I am not getting any younger, nor is Mia. And I want a few children to carry on my bloodline." Sage nodded faintly.
"I understand father. I will do as you wish." Sage watched as his father gave him a stern look.
"And remember, Mia is to be your first." Sage nodded. He suddenly realized that his father knew more about him then he had thought.
"I know father." Sage stated as he rose to his feet.
"May I leave now, father?" Sighing, the man nodded as Sage quickly made his way out of the room, sighing in frustration as soon as he was out of ears reach.
"What did he say to you sire?" Sage turned to Ryo.
"Too much, too fast. He wants me to make love to Lady Mia, but what about the fact that I have no urge?" Ryo sighed.
"Poor sire." Ryo stated as Sage nodded.
"I'm going back to Cye." Ryo nodded.
"Be careful. You cannot afford to get caught." Sage nodded.
"I know." Ryo smiled as Sage began to walk away.
"Good luck sire!"
~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~
Hatred. He hated that boy. Sage was his! Well, to be his in any means necessary that is. Damn that gypsy! Damn him to hell and back! His! The lord would be his! He watched in amusement. Sage's first time, even when he was not supposed to lose his virginity to anyone but his betrothed. The man paused. If he told Sage's father what the blonde was up to, the gypsy would be killed and out of the way, and the marriage would be halted because Sage would no longer be a virgin. And then he could move in and sweep the blonde off his feet, and into his arms. Dais laughed. Everything would be perfect. His lips curved in a smile.
He glanced once more at the bodies, combined and pressed up against the wall. He glared in detest at the two. He couldn't wait to watch that boy die. And he couldn't wait much longer to have the blonde as well. He licked his lips before turning on his heals and heading towards the house of Sage's father. The truth would be out soon, and Sage would be his.
~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~
"Ugh. It hurt Cye! You could have at least warned me!" Cye laughed as he pressed his lips to Sage's forehead, snuggling against the blonde and pulling the blanket over them.
"Should I kiss it and make it feel better?" Cye asked innocently, as he ran his hand down Sage's back, resting it on the curve of the blonde's rear. Sage yelped as he jerked away, leaving a laughing Cye next to him.
"Get back here, Blondie!" Cye stated as he wrapped his arms around the golden boy's waist, pulling him onto his lap and burying his face into the silken gold tresses.
"It's so sad. I've only just met you, and I've already given myself to you. Could I be any more whore-like?" Cye laughed as he kissed the blonde's neck.
"Sire!" Sage looked up at Ryo and gasped, attempting to disappear and melt into Cye's arms. This was so embarrassing.
"I do not mind sire, but your father is searching for you. Someone has told him of what you and Cye did, and now he is trying to find Cye! You must run! Both of you!" Sage gasped.
"But who would have told?" Sage asked as Ryo sighed.
"Lord Dais."
"But why would he…?"
"He loves you sire. He does not want to see you with a lowly gypsy!" Sage groaned.
"Thank you Ryo. There is no way that I could ever repay you. Cye, we have to leave." Cye nodded as he reached out to grab their clothes.
"Ryo, please leave. I do not want you to get in trouble saving us or simply being seen with us." Ryo nodded.
"Good luck master." Quickly, Ryo ran away from the two. Quickly throwing on their clothes, Sage turned to Cye.
Love, I have a friend a few towns over that would be willing to help us. If we leave now, we should be there by sun fall." Cye nodded.
"It would be best if we left now." With another nod, the two quickly made their way to the gates of the town. Carefully, they hopped the fence, as they broke out into runs. If they could get out of site, they'd be much safer. Running for about ten minutes, they finally stopped deep within the forests that bordered the town.
"Cye, we have to keep going. My friend, Kento, he will let us stay with him for a bit. But then we must go, because I do not want to involve him in our problems. I do not want to see him hurt." Cye nodded.
"Come on love, let's keep going." Sage smiled softly then began laughing, to the surprise of Cye.
"What is it?"
"It hurts to run." Cye grinned.
"Sorry." Sage nodded as they stopped to rest for a moment..
"We'll make it Cye. I won't let my father hurt you."
"I know love, I know."
