Then we all heard screaming. Just bloodcurdling screams.
I ran up the stairs two at a time to find my mate thrashing around in our room screaming in pain.
"Hey hey hey baby what's wrong I'm right here it will be okay." I said gathering him into my arms as he regained his consciousness.
He just whimpered and snuggled into me close. All I could do was hold him and wait for him to talk to me.
"Pl-pl-please don't leave me Dray... I know I'm used and broken but I'll be good. I can be good I swear. Don't send me back there!" He cried.
"I told you once and I'll tell you as many times as you need to hear it... I'm not going anywhere baby I'm not going anywhere. You're home now. You're with me. I'll keep you safe. You are never going back there again I promise." I said softly into his ears.
I don't know what to do without him now that he is in my life. I wish I would have noticed the abuse. I could have saved him sooner.
I keep on berating myself and I didn't notice he was speaking to me.
"Huh. Baby what was that? I'm so sorry I zoned out." I said.
He started to giggle at my response.
"I asked if we could make a nest in here. It would help me sleep better. The blankets smell like you. If we make a nest then we can bundle up and be safe." He said softly afraid that I'd say no.
"That's a great idea baby! Let's bundle up! Arrange it however you want my love. What do you need?" I asked.
"Pillows, blankets, anything soft with your scent on it." He said.
"Will do my love." I bowed and he giggled.
So I brought him all the pillows and blankets and plushies from my stash at the manor. I have more at my quarters at school for him.
"Are these okay baby?" I asked holding out a silver snake plushie.
"Yes!" He squealed making a gimme motion with his hands for the snake plush.
I handed it to him laughing at his reaction.
So he made his nest and we finally laid down together for some rest so he could heal.
