Part: 5/?
The boy was sleeping peacefully in the middle of the bed, when Egore opens the door quietly. He then gets the warm water for the bath of the boy and walks to the bathroom inside. Carefully he put the contents of the pot in the tub, and goes out again to the bedroom.
Before he wakes the boy up, he marvels at his face, his face is calm and he sleeps quietly. He tries to touch his face with his fingertips, yet he resists his urge. He might disturb his quiet slumber. He slowly moves away from the sleeping boy and get out of the room quietly… he'll return back after he does his other chores in the castle.
***
As I wake up from my blissful slumber, I realize that I forgot to ask Egore how could get my clothes back. The night's air was cold that I pulled the blanket so close to me, and cocoons my body and heart. As I sit up I realize that there's food on the coffee table and my clothes are on top of the chest in front of the bed. Egore must have placed it here while I was in deep slumber.
I move towards the bathroom and finds him there checking if the water is still hot and pouring some more water. Then as if on cue, he looks at me with his hood covering him again. A tinge of blush creeps on his face as I realize I'm naked for the second time. I forgot to grab my clothes a while ago when I heard a splash of water in the bathroom.
"Take a bath before the water gets cold." I suddenly heard him speak in soft voice.
"Thanks Egore…"
"The towel and robe are on the left side and the soap is on the right side of the tub."
"Thank you… Egore."
"I'll be out side, if you need anything."
"Egore?"
"Yes?"
"um… do you have another name???"
"Kaede. Call me either of the two."
"It's such a nice name… thanks Kaede."
Then he left, closing the door with a soft click. I move towards the tub and submerge in the hot water. As I soap my body and steam covers the room, I relax a little soothing my muscles and body.
***
Kaede fixes the sheets of the bed; he thought that this person was cold when he was sleeping for he can't remove the creases of the sheets. When he left the boy a while ago to attend to his master's bedroom, he found Kogure sleeping in their master's bedroom. He was sleeping in the middle of the bed; the blanket was covering his waist down and his hair in disarray. The room speaks of what happened in the past few hours. The crumpled sheets, clothes scattered, the musk scent, a slave with out clothes, and everything.
His train of thoughts stops all together when hears someone singing. It was coming from the bathroom and then he realizes that it was the boy who was singing while taking a bath. His feet takes him near the door of the bathroom and then takes a peek at the hole in the door that was caused by some rat or due to old age of the door.
There he can see the boy happily splashing some water accompanying it with a cheerful song. The boy suddenly turns around and looks at the door and he moves away from the door fearing that the boy must have sensed him looking. Everything the boy does, the more he's drawn to him. Maybe that boy put something, some kind of a spell, one that he won't look for a cure.
***
The boy has happy due to the warm water that revives his body back to life, and it's such a nice day outside and he can hear the birds happily chirping. Lastly, that hooded guy, whose name is Kaede looks at him! Well actually it's the other way around. I like him… ok I admit... A LOT! Whenever I look at his eyes, I could just stare at him the whole day or for hours! What's with me? He's a man and I am too, besides there aren't too many men and women who have stirred me like this.
From what I heard before, based on the stories of our elders, there's a creature that Dracula hides. This creature is the one who gets new slaves for Dracula and uses his charm to let them fall for him. This is his power and when he didn't get what he wants, he kills the victims and gives the blood to his master. Legend says that he was a human being that is being sold as a sex slave and was bought by Dracula. Others say that Dracula kept him alive when he gave the creature his blood making him immortal and as a repayment for Dracula's kindness, he serves Dracula.
After how many minutes he yawns and closes his eyes…
***
Kaede looks at the clock. The boy still hasn't gone out of the bathroom for how many minutes. Looks like the boy doesn't want to get out of the hot water… Kaede was finished in serving the food to Kogure and the other slaves in the dungeon; he even pressed some suits for his master and for himself. Now he went back to the room and still the boy didn't even care if he stays forever in that bathroom. He was thinking if he should knock at the door or just leave him alone.
***
When he opens his eyes and he sees a boy who looks like the same age as he was. The guy was smiling to him and looks friendly. He was a little scared awhile ago since he saw someone instead of Kaede, but then he relaxes a little knowing that the boy was there to help him in case he needed help.
The boy was standing 10 feet away from the bathtub and the door. He was wearing a maroon-colored shirt with fitted pants, he also looks cute from the way his dark brown hair covering some of his eyes and the way he smiled.
Suddenly the boy talks, asking him to come with the boy whom he just saw in the castle. The brown-haired boy was asking him if he could come cause he wants to show something to him.
He didn't get up and just looks at him in question. The boy slowly moves towards him beckoning him to follow and reach his hand. The boy only scares him a bit when it moves so slowly to him, looking at him with emotions that he can never put his finger on.
With every step the boy take towards him the more he moves back to the edge of the tub. The boy moves slowly and as he moves his skin fall apart like melting. And his clothes melt and some parts of his body disintegrate, and show already some bones. When the boy nears him and was near on the edge of the tub, the boy was just skeletons and crumbles to the floor and when he looks to the edge of the tub there was the boy's head complete with skin and parts, and a hole in the ground. The boy suddenly grabs his neck and off they drift to the abyss.
He opens his eyes, his chest heaving taking in as much air he needs to calm his body. A nightmare while he's in a tub. He ran his hands up to his hair, raking it to ease some tension. He looks again in the room; there was no one in there except him he releases a deep sigh and goes back leaning in the edge of the tub. When he was about to close his eyes, he sees that the water starts to bubble but still it's the same temperature. Suddenly, he sees pink color in the water. The water was turning red slowly, and after a few seconds the water's color turned into a deep red, which looks like blood. He tastes the water and it was true the water is blood! Then suddenly, he felt something near his leg and then, a head appeared from beneath the water surface. It rises up and he sees a man's head w/ eyes like fire looking straight at him.
He starts to get up and moves away to the bathtub and runs towards the door. He tries to open but it won't budge. He calls out to Egore… Kaede to get him out of the bathroom, to save him. But there's no reply, no Kaede to get him out of this nightmare and no one to ever get him out of this place.
What's more scary is the fact that the water that turned into blood a while ago flooded the floor and the head is still looking at him and is in the middle of the tub. Blood pouring from the head of the head, and his tears it's blood. A never-ending pour of blood till the blood fills the room up to his knees. He tries to kick in the door but the metal hinge was full of rust. The door's handle snapped a while ago when he tried to get out. Somehow the blood wasn't all blood. He can see the eyes of the boy burning and at last, the rage of the boy in the tub, the blood- water burns and filled the room with fire. The fire was reaching up to him until he screams and the fire consumes him.
He opens his eyes and again he was back in the tub, back in shaking, back to deep breathing. This is weird. He didn't usually have multiple dreams in his life. And now, he wonders if he's back from reality as he went back to the same position in the tub. Shaking fingers tries to rake his hair but to no avail. He can't rake his hair cause of the shock and he felt to weak to do things, even get out of the tub.
When the water was cold and he calm and no longer shaking, he grabs the towel and put it in his waist. He walks towards the door and opens it. "Kae…" 'Where is he? Is this some kind of a trick?' He moves in to his bed and sits down. 'Maybe he just went out and fix something.' He stands up and walks to the door and tries to open it. But it won't open to him. He tried and tried, and then he realizes that he's trapped. Shivering of the cold and of fear, he banged on the door and hollers for help. So then, after all the screaming and banging, he saw the knob twist then, peering into the dark, he saw the slaves crowding in front of the door w/ lustful eyes and when they saw him each one of them wants to get hold of him to have a little taste of him. They all try to get in the room and the 4 of them carries him to the bed and ties him up in the 4 pillars of the bed with the lace and silk. They remove his towel and everyone tries to touch him. He screams in agony and calls out Kaede's name. Everyone takes a bite of his skin and some scrape his skin. He trashes and screams…
***
Kaede hears the boy screaming inside the bathroom, he rushes to it and opens the door and finds out the boy was having a nightmare. He tries to wake the boy up but he couldn't cause every time he tries to touch him, the boy would suddenly move or jerks. Then after a few tries, he manages to holds him in the shoulders. Unfortunately, what happened was he was pushed inside the tub and now he's soaking wet and a very nice position in the tub that is on top of the boy too.
He feels someone shaking him lightly, holding both his shoulders. He wakes up and stares to someone's blue eyes. This eyes gives comfort to him, and filled with worries. So he was saved from his nightmares. This is for real and Kaede did rescue him from falling into the dream world and to nightmares. He suddenly launches to the other boy and hugs him tight. Kaede on the other hand, moves his hands to the back of the boy, moving it up and down to the velvety skin of the boy. When Kaede realizes that the boy was calm already, he returns back to their current predicament. He now was at the edge of the tub and half of the boy's body is on him and his hands on the back. He can feel the softness of the boy's boy and for the first time he was allowed to touch him. The boy didn't yet realize that both of them are in the tub, he naked, Kaede in his wet clothes, hugging together. When the boy looks up to him, and everything came to him, his face turns into red. Kaede eases himself and gets out of the tub. He finds an extra towel and wipes himself off the excess water.
He signals the boy to come to him and the boy just move towards him. Kaede wipes some water in him and puts him in a robe. Then he wipes off the water in his hair with the towel. Then he takes the boy's hand where he leads them to the bed. He lets the boy to sit down on the edge of the bed while he fixes things in the bathroom.
When he returns, he saw the boy looking at his feet blankly. He sits on the left side, beside the boy and talks to him in soft voice.
"Are you ok? You were screaming a while ago."
"I'm… fine. Thank you."
"No problem."
"What happened to that?" The boy points to his right arm where there's a big wound.
Kaede looks at it. "Oh this, it's nothing." 'Actually I got this a while ago when your nails dug into my skin'
"But it is, come closer and I'll take a look at it."
"But…"
"I insist… it's the least I can do this day for you." The boy's hands are already in his right arm. He can't do anything so he did move a little closer to the boy. The boy examines it carefully and then looks for a long narrow strip of cloth to cover the wound. But he couldn't find one.
"The wound isn't that deep…." Kaede said.
"I can't find anything to cover it."
"It will heal… you don't need to do anything it's a scratch."
"My… scar." The boy said while touching the wound lightly.
"Yes it's yours… don't worry I'll be…" he didn't finish the sentence when the boy kiss his wound like an angel's kiss.
"What's your name?" Kaede asks.
"My name…. is … Akira."
When I look at him kissing my wound lightly, I can't help but be drawn into him. The more I can't move and if I did, I might risk something that isn't supposed to be. His kiss, I wonder if it would be as sweet as what he's doing to my wound. He knows that I'm being tortured little by little by his trifling acts. And when these things are simple, they send volumes of meanings to me. As I close my eyes and feel his lips hovering my skin and his breath warms my skin, he stops. I look at him and he to me. And even time isn't going to stop for us both. His eyes held something in it, a cloud of desire for me, maybe he's too confused on what to think and act due to his nightmares and events that have happened so fast. And when he levels his face into mine and it's too close to start a conversation, he says… "Make me yours."
