The purpose Part 17 Giants
Chapter 50
They must have been exhausted, for none of them woke up after the sun was high up in the sky. Rodolphus had been the first one outside, after glancing at a sleeping Danyck. After going out the tent though, he saw Seth in his Animagus form staring right back at him.
*You have been outside for a long time?* Asked Rodolphus.
Seth made a low growl and stood up, morphing back to his normal state.
*Slept a bit more than four hours.* Said Seth and Corban went out of the tent too.
*What? Outside?*Asked Rodolphus, baffled.
Corban made a shameful face as he looked away. Seth rolled his eyes and sighed.
*Yeah… I'll go wake Danyck so we can just go, I want to reach the giants before the night.* Said Seth as he went inside the tent.
*What the fuck happened that he actually slept outside, Yaxley?* Said Rodolphus.
Corban had a mean look and brought out his wand. Rodolphus stepped back a little, but Corban waved at his tent, and it folded itself neatly.
*Would that be your business, Rody? And, Seth's Animagus is a giant wolf, with FUR and he is perfectly capable to cast a warming charm on himself.* Said Corban and Rodolphus had a chuckle, shaking his head.
He went close to Yaxley as to make sure only him heard.
*I know that, moron. I meant what happened, so that, the vampire prince, and not you, a freaking nobody, went outside instead of throwing you out.* Whispered Lestrange.
Corban frowned and thought about what he just said. Was Seth not willing to admit feelings towards him as to even show enough respect to not throw him out of the tent? Which he would have said nothing and taken the blame. He remembered seeing Seth taking the locket again, with a hint of disgust, then staring at him for a few seconds before leaving. The locket… Did he leave the tent because Seth would, or could, have killed him? That seemed way more plausible, and he shuddered at the thought. Seth went out the tent with the goblin axe and threw it on the snow as Danyck also went out, his face flushed red again. Seth probably had fed him before they left the tent. Danyck looked at Rodolphus and pursed his lips, then shook his head. Rodolphus opened his arms in confusion. Corban waved his wand at the remaining tent, and it folded by itself. He took the saddle from the bag and placed the tents in the bag. Seth morphed into a wolf and Corban placed the cover and the saddle on him again. After he was done, Seth laid down for them to climb on. Danyck nudged Rodolphus.
*He heard you talking to Corban, he can hear any sounds around fifty meters away. He wanted to make sure you understand that if he had not gone out of that tent, then Corban would have been dead. Oh and, that it was not your fucking business.*Said Danyck before grabbing the axe and the bag, placing them on his back and mounting Seth.
Corban had swallowed at Danyck's words, now seeing it had nothing to do with respect when he left the tent, and mounted Seth. Rodolphus took a deep breath and also mounted Seth who then stood up and continued the mountain climbing.
They passed in front of many warning panels for both wizards and muggles telling them to go back or face assured death and with another four hours of climbing, they arrived on a clearing again. The mountain dropped on the other side and further down away you could see the giant's village. The sound they made were so loud, the snow was almost always vibrating.
*Wow. Giants are real.* Said Danyck, impressed, and jumped down from Seth.
Seth laid down for the deatheaters to come down. Corban removed the saddle from Seth when they were off of him and Seth shook his whole body like a wet dog after a bath. Snow flakes and balls that had been stuck on his fur went everywhere. The deatheaters protested as they received it in their faces and on their bodies. Seth then morphed back to normal, a big smile on his face.
*Well, that felt good to actually do that.* Said Seth.
Danyck and Corban set up the tents again and Seth walked to Rodolphus. The deatheater looked at Seth and made one step back at his approach and eyed Danyck briefly before looking at Seth again. The vampire prince placed his fingers through Rodolphus's hair behind his head and pulled, making him gasp.
*You will now serve your purpose for coming, Rodolphus.* Said Seth coldly as his eyes went completely black.
Rodolphus's eyes widened, and he let out another gasp as Seth sank his teeth in his neck. He instinctively grabbed Seth's back. The first few seconds had hurt, but he quickly realized he was receiving waves of pleasure and a nice warm feeling engulfed him as Seth was feeding. It did not take long, nor had he taken that much. When he was done, Seth licked the wound, healing it. Seth let go of him then turned to grab the goblin axe on the snow that Danyck had thrown. He now understood why no one could resist a vampire, once they knew what they could do, how they could make you feel. Perhaps it was because it was Seth and not another vampire, but he would gladly do it again, to feel that warmth again. Maybe not to be served as food. Corban smirked, looking at his dumb face he was making.
Terrible roars reverberated in the mountains. Seth was standing near a cliff and looked down as if ready to jump.
*Looks like a fight.* Said Corban who had been looking at the giants while Seth had been feeding.
*All right then, let's wait until morning, then we can get this over with.*Said Seth as he went towards a tent to place the axe then went out again.
Seth walked away from the clearing, morphing into his wolf form, and followed by Danyck.
*Where are they going? Are we supposed to go with him?* Asked Rodolphus and Corban shook his head.
*I don't think so, besides, I am very hungry and I'm sure you feel the same. Just like you said yesterday, my legs are also killing me.* Said Corban who then went into his tent for food and rest.
Rodolphus gazed at Seth where Danyck had climbed on his back and they were almost out of sight. He passed a hand on his neck where Seth had fed and wondered when would be the next time Seth would need to feed.
Chapter 51
They were crouched behind a big mossy rock, preying on a grizzly bear.
*You feel her? Her heart, her veins, her mind…?* Whispered Seth at Danyck.
Danyck looked at the grizzly bear and nodded. But there's something else he could feel, like his core was whispering to him to place a hand in front of him, towards the bear. So, he did, and Seth looked at him curiously. Danyck could feel the grizzly bear's heart in his hand, even if she was 20 meters away from them. His heart pounded against his chest, and he listened to his core again, telling him to close his hand tightly into a fist, so he did. The grizzly bear grunted for a few seconds, then collapsed in the snow. A fantastic rush passed through his body, and he let out a small pleasing groan as he exhaled. Seth stared at Danyck, bewildered by what he just saw, and also felt the power surge through their mind link. Danyck looked at Seth with both their eyes as black as coal.
*You… you have telekinetic powers, Danyck. That's what I felt when I sired you…*Said Seth as he stood up.
Danyck stood up too.
*I… I loved it. Is that wrong?* Asked Danyck and Seth made a smile.
*Wrong to you or to the animal? With skills like that, it would make you as dangerous as any wizard… and if I think about all the things you could do with me, well this is going to be amazing.* Said Seth.
Danyck smiled too and they went to the bear where Seth removed its skin neatly with a cutting spell. A nice memory where Evan Rosier was cutting the young Maugrey's leg passed through his mind.
*I wonder what fighting with giants will be.* Said Seth.
Danyck swallowed. They were still hearing the monstrous sounds giants were making and now they were snoring. The mountain seemed to shake now and then. They hunted two other elks, where Seth had asked Danyck to repeat his newfound skill which he did, reaching into his core and the third had been even easier, already. But it exhausted him, and Seth barely had time to tell him to feed that Danyck had embraced Seth and sank his teeth in his neck. Seth gasped and fell on the snow. Danyck had mumbled a sorry in his mind but did not let go, swallowing with delight his sire's blood.
*You still can't control yourself. Maybe because you are different. Elisabeth was so quick about it, but then again, the servants fed her, not me.*Said Seth, closing his eyes as he waited for him to be done.
Seth felt Danyck's extreme desire to kiss his sire and so, Seth felt lips pressing on his. He kissed back, placing his arms around Danyck, allowing him this moment. He could not feel the snow on his back, it had melted for the sheer amount of heat that was emanating from him. Seth felt Danyck hardening and asking for his mouth's entry.
*You are pushing your luck, Danyck.*Said Seth in his mind.
Danyck broke the kiss, staring at Seth, his face flushed red. He removed himself from Seth and passed a hand through his hair. Seth sighed as Danyck grabbed the animal skins and he morphed into his wolf Animagus form. Danyck jumped on Seth before he took the direction of the tents. It was pitch black outside, with the stars and a full moon illuminating the mountain. A wolf's howl was heard not too far away. Seth recognized the howl as a territorial one and he smiled at the thought. He howled a salutation in response. A few minutes later, there were several howls in answer again, returning his salutations. Danyck laughed.
*Is that common in wolves?* Asked Danyck.
*No, they even recognized my difference in size from my howl. They may approach our tents during the night for curiosity.* Answered Seth in his mind.
When they arrived at the tents, they heard the slow and steady heartbeats of people sleeping. Danyck dismounted Seth and went to his tent with Rodolphus, bringing the animal skins inside with him. Seth stayed outside, enjoying the cold air and the clear night sky. Just like he had thought, he heard the footsteps and heartbeats of the pack of wolves coming to their tents. They carefully smelled the air around and stared at Seth. They were five, two males and three females. Their fur was white and grey, as they were mountain wolves, ideal for hunting. Seth made a low growl as they approached him closer. Their tails were alert, their ears slightly on the sides and Seth knew from the shift in their eyes and the subtle body movement that they were all submissive to him. The alpha wolf came right in front of Seth turned on his back, presenting his belly. Seth opened his mouth and passed his tongue on the belly before making a movement with his jaw over the wolf's head as if he would eat his head, because Seth was too big for this trust move, but nonetheless the alpha wolf clearly understood, then slowly got up and went back to his pack. Seth made another growl, wanting them to leave and so they did. When he was sure they were far enough, he morphed back to his normal self, then went inside the tent with Corban. He went to the empty bed for the night.
Chapter 52
Seth woke up three hours later, having slept enough like his usual. Weird, perhaps his body really gets used to heavy exercise quickly and the second climbing had been easier? It did feel easier or having eaten three whole elks the day before and drinking from Rodolphus in a short amount of time had helped. He would not complain anyway. He cast a tempus spell: 3:27 in the morning. He sighed and got up. They were all deep asleep. He went out to go in the other tent and grabbed the animal skins, before going out again. He went a bit further, not wanting to disturb their sleep with the sounds and spells he was going to make. One at a time, he cleaned the skins and cut them all evenly. He cast several protective charms and a permanent heating spell on each skin before sewing them together to make like a giant cover. He placed it on the snow and went on it, ruffling the fur with his fingers. He wondered what his fur felt like, or being on a giant wolf.
*Why don't you try it out?* Said another Seth appearing behind him.
Seth turned quickly and pointed his wand at his twin. The other Seth smirked holding a time-turner in front of him and Seth blinked. Right.
*I thought about that here?* Said Seth which only got the other Seth to place the time-turner around his neck again and morph into his Animagus form.
Seth smiled and jumped on the wolf and immediately laid down on his back passing his hands in the fur, smelling it and pressing his ear on the warm body, hearing the slow heartbeat.
*Wow, I am so soft and I smell so good.* Said Seth.
The wolf made a small growl, making his body tremble like a purr, and started slowly walking away. The body movements of the wolf were comforting, just like rocking a baby to sleep. After a while, they approached a cliff and Seth sat properly on the wolf and they looked at a rising sun at the horizon. It was truly magnificent, how the sun reflected on the clouds of the mountains below and the trees, the snow. Seth wondered if Voldemort would ever want to see this and appreciate a moment like this. The other Seth growled, knowing what he was thinking. He now thought about bringing Corban the next rising sun. They went back to the animal skins and the wolf morphed back to his normal self. They stared at each other and smiled devilishly. Seth thought about his time-turner and it appeared on his neck. He walked a few steps out of the way, where his past self would not see him right away, then turned the time-turner once and disappeared.
The now present Seth waved his wand at the skins and folded it properly before grabbing it and going back to the tents. He placed the skins on his bed, then looked at Corban.
*Corban, wake up.* Said Seth.
Corban stretched out his body and groaned. His cover had slid off his legs and his buttocks were showing. A flash of him taking Corban from behind passed through his mind, hearing him scream as he would pull on his hair. He looked away and took the axe before leaving the tent. Danyck had felt the mental nudge from Seth and got up. He hurried to put on his boots and cloak, then went out. In his rush, he had woken Rodolphus who only grunted in response. Seth gave the axe to Danyck and morphed into his wolf Animagus.
Danyck climbed on him, and he started to go down the mountain. It took about twenty minutes and the giants saw the giant wolf coming their way as a cloud of snow was forming behind Seth. They started shouting and roaring, thinking the beast was there to attack them. Seth had slowed down and decided to walk very slowly as he arrived nearer to their village. Perhaps it was because Danyck was on him, for they held their weapons, javelins, swords and hammers in their hands, ready to attack.
*Barkle, Fenrir, barkle!* Roared a giant.
*Yell out you want to speak to the gurg, Danyck.* Said Seth in his mind and Danyck made a mental nod.
*We come to see the mighty gurg, please let us pass!* Yelled out Danyck.
The giants looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, then one of them nodded. They escorted them to the giant chief, literally bigger than any of them and Danyck went down from Seth. He presented the axe and bowed. Seth morphed back to his normal self and the giants gasped.
*You! Wizards?* Asked the gurg.
*I am Seth, vampire prince but also a wizard. We bring to you this mighty goblin axe, for the gurg of gurg.* Yelled out Seth pointing at the axe which Danyck threw at the gurg's feet.
The gurg was so happy he made little tap dance with his feet, making the ground tremble underneath. Danyck and Seth almost fell down, losing their balance.
*Much impress, more after moon, bye.* Said the gurg.
Danyck and Seth bowed. Seth morphed back into a wolf, much to the giants delight now and Danyck jumped on him again. Seth turned and trotted away. Corban had gone out the tent and had been too late to come with them and watched from afar. He had stressed upon seeing the giants around Seth and Danyck but relieved once he saw them coming back. Rodolphus had also come out of his tent and pouted. Seth came back panting and Danyck jumped down as they reach the tents.
*Favorable then.* Said Corban as Seth morphed back to normal.
*Yes, tomorrow I'll bring the animal skins I made. The day after that, I'll give those dragon-skin gloves. If we need something else, I'll figure out something.* Said Seth.
Waiting for the day to pass was painful. At least Danyck had tried something else with his telekinesis, like moving small objects. Rodolphus and Corban were really impressed.
*I wonder if the weight of the objects would be proportional to what you can support yourself.* Said Seth.
Danyck looked around for something bigger and noticed a large boulder near the edge of the mountain. They walked to it and Danyck placed his hands in front of him. Seth felt his concentration and noticed his arms movements, just like he would normally grab the boulder physically.
*I can feel it… two different ways. I can physically feel it and if I had the physical strength to do it, I could. There is also this mental fight. I'm pretty sure I would have a bigger exhaustion if I succeeded doing that with my mind. I should train my body to begin with.* Said Danyck.
*Nice. I'll do that with you. How about running? See who's the fastest vampire.* Said Seth with a giant smirk on his lips.
Seth started running and Danyck followed him or, at least, tried to. Rodolphus and Corban saw a blur of them pass in front of them, a snow cloud lifted behind their passage. Rodolphus went back inside his tent and started drinking a butterbeer, found in the pantry. Corban went with him and did just the same but also took two blood replenishing potions and gave one to Rodolphus and sat by the table.
*Your brother works at the ministry for legislator, right?* Asked Corban.
*So what.*Said Rodolphus.
Corban shrugged and drank his potion quickly, making a disgusted face.
*How convenient to make laws and shit for the ministry and also wedding certificates, riiiiight?* Said Corban.
*You are just mad you wont get invited.*Said Rodolphus with a smirk also emptying his potion.
Corban threw his bottle cap at him who avoided it with a chuckle.
*You dork. I'm the one who will marry your beautiful cheeky asses.*Said Corban.
It was well after the sun came down that Seth and Danyck came back. Seth once again felt Danyck's hunger. He had been able to do a whole day without blood, even with training. Danyck went to Seth and embraced him before sinking his teeth in his neck. Danyck was trying to give pleasure through his bite to Seth as he fed, which was still very mediocre.
*If you are trying to make me like that, you are trying too hard and thinking way too much about yourself. It will come with time.* Said Seth.
Danyck tightened his grip and drank longer than usual. Seth thought that his own need of blood was growing as Danyck fed. He blocked his mind, not letting him know. Danyck eventually stopped, licking the wound clean and healing it. He thanked Seth and bid him good night before going into his tent. Seth went into his own tent and looked at Corban who was sleeping on his back. He had braided his hair and the braid was as long as his arm, resting on his belly. Seth removed the locket from his neck and placed it on his empty bed. He removed his upper garment, then his pants and his wand holster and placed all of it on his bed. He walked to Corban and carefully placed himself over him as he gently placed a hand on Corban's mouth, not wanting him to scream. Corban jerked awaked, seeing Seth over him with his long white hair brushing against his chest and slowly removing his hand from his mouth but caressing his bottom lip with his thumb. Seth wanted to use Corban again.
*What are you doing?* Asked Corban.
*Do you want my blood again?* Whispered Seth.
Corban stared at Seth for a moment then looked down, noticing Seth's naked body over him. Corban moved his hands to Seth's hair and pulled his head towards him and kissed him deeply, demanding entry to his mouth. Their tongues intertwined languorously and Seth moved his body against Corban, rubbing his crotch already bulging. Seth broke the kiss for a short time and bit his tongue and kissed Corban again, letting blood pour in his mouth. Corban's eyes dilated and his heart, already fast, accelerated even more.
Slash warning
Seth had removed the cover from between them in a swift move and placed his right hand on Corban's member, slowly moving down and entered a finger in his hole. Corban moaned and the vampire prince started kissing his jawline as he entered a second finger, gently rubbing against his prostate. Corban's hands were now on Seth's back, caressing and almost tearing his skin when Seth entered his third finger. They both groaned with pleasure and Seth kissed his neck, then passed his tongue from the bottom of the neck to his ear. Corban's head went backwards, sinking in the pillow.
*Please…*Moaned Corban.
The words rang into his core, spiking his lust. He placed himself between Corban's legs and pulled his thighs to him after he had removed his fingers. He placed his cock and entered him slowly. Corban's wincing face quickly changed to deep pleasure, and he let out a yell. Seth bent his body again and went to his neck, sinking his teeth in the skin. It was as he thought, the combination of the two was the ultimate sensation. The warm blood poured slowly in his throat as he was thrusting deeply inside the deatheater. Corban's nails had teared Seth's back and red lines now shone on his perfect skin. Corban's pleasure had risen so quickly, he was shaking uncontrollably, and blissful sounds came out of his mouth. Seth had tried to go slow to make it last longer.
*F… Faster.* Pleaded Corban.
Seth groaned as he deepened his bite, letting more blood flow in his mouth and accelerated his hip movements. His belly was rubbing on Corban's cock. Corban let out another yell as he climaxed between them. Seth stopped drinking and licked the wound. He propped himself up and grabbed Corban's leg and accelerated his pace. His pleasure went up quickly and in a yell of his own, he filled the deatheater's insides. Out of breath and satisfied, they stared at each other for a short while. Seth removed himself and waved his hand cleaning the mess wandlessly.
End of slash
He moved beside Corban who turned on his side so he could lay a hand on Seth's chest.
*I love you so much, Seth. I wish you could open your heart to me.* Whispered Corban.
*My heart is already embedded in your grasp even if I wish it was not, now let it be.*Hissed Seth in parseltongue.
A small smile appeared on Corban's lips for he had understood, still under the effects of Seth's blood.
