Alistar savagely stabs the little raven haired vamp with the needle and injects it before walking away leaving it in his chest. As he walks away to look through his instruments of torture.
"Alistar! Leave him alone, you coward!" Kev screamed.
Alistar freezes before his face contorts with a horrific smile. He is about to unleash Hell on Kev when Edd starts screaming in agony. He whips around in shock "It only has that effect on vampires..." he growls in realization he whips back around to Kev "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!"
"Your little bitch, Caleb, didn't tell you that?! I changed him! I made him like me!" Kev spit like venom at Alistar.
"You are both going to regret that but for your insolence, I think he is going to bare the brunt... You love him, don't you son?" Alistar asks with a sick smile.
"Why? Why must you destroy everything I care about?!" Kev cries, thick tear pouring out of his eyes.
"Because you are an imbecile and the type of relationship you want is an abomination! I would stay my hand if it was a female but no, you chose him. And because of that, he will pay because there is nothing worse I can do to you physically that I have not already done. The emotional and mental pain remain and I can use that to my advantage" he says grabbing a crow bar.
"I have done everything you have asked of me and more! I have stayed my tongue when you experimented on me! I have been your dutiful soldier for years! I'm your son, not your pawn! Stop destroying everything I care about!" Kev yelled, tears slowly drying and being replaced by a white, hot anger.
Alistar paces over to the Raven "The more you talk, the more you add to his punishment" he warns, cracking the small vamp over the head with the crow bar.
"You're a coward, and you're crazy! I should have left years ago! Why don't you release me and fight me like a man!"
Alistar ignores him and continues to crack the tire iron down on the Raven's body. His screams becoming deafening.
Kev continues to try to gain his father's attention and get him away from the only other person who understands him. Pulling at the chains, breaking the skin, blood dripping on to the floor, Kev continues to yell. Soon, a door opens and in walks in a tall, tanned man with jet black hair. He walks past Kev and approaches Alistar. Grabbing the tire iron in mid swing, he says "Alistar, old friend... I believe enough is enough for now."
Alistar growls for a moment but regains his composure swiftly "Perhaps you are right" he turns to Kev "Son, have I made my point perfectly clear in you obeying me?"
"...yes..." came the soft reply accompanied with a small sob. Caleb looked at the two young boys, a plan forming in his head. He would redeem himself this one time. He would make up for all the wrong he had done to them this one final time. Alistar nods "They are to stay chained until I say: no blood or water" he says on his way out.
"Of course, as you wish" Caleb nods his head once in agreement. Once the door swings shut and the footsteps recede, he turns to the smaller redhead and unlocks his wrists. "Wait for nightfall and then take him and run. Don't come back, grab everything you can from this room and leave."
"Why now... After you brought this down on us..." Kev asks bitterly "Where am I supposed to go? I have nothing and no one and the trackers..."
"I'm having a change of heart, would you like me to take it back?" Caleb asks. "Get away from this place and your father. That's your only chance. Take anything and everything you can from this room. You can survive out in the woods. There are caves and thickets everywhere that you two can heal in. Just go, I'll take care of both of your trackers" with that, Caleb left.
Kev rushes over to check on the Raven worriedly after unchaining him. He wouldn't respond to anything Kev does, if he doesn't wake by night fall there is only one thing he can do and no one is going to like it.
Just before nightfall, the door opens and a large black wolf strides in. Kev walks back out from the shadows "Oh, it's just you..." he sighs gratefully.
"I have a pack for you with some medicine and blood in it, including some other tools that may come in handy" Caleb dropped the pack at Kev's feet. "Time to go. You got to get out of here and get out fast. I tricked the tracker to show you two in here. So you have two days before he even checks on you. Make them count."
Kev nods "Thank you" he says picking up the pack and his lover. He makes his way out quickly knowing exactly where he needed to go, seeing as how Edd wouldn't wake up there was only one person he could turn to and it wasn't going to be easy. He managed to find a cave and stash Edd in then went to find the one man he never thought he would ask help from again: Eddward Rockwell.
Eddward is dashing through the trees trying to find some hunter to take down. Daniel still hadn't woken up and it was grating on his nerves and conscience. He needed blood and he was looking for a fight.
Kev sat high up in a tree, scanning for movement in the forest. Suddenly, a quick movement caught his eyes and he followed. He would know that stride anywhere, he had found him. He dropped down in front of Eddward, standing tall.
Eddward growls but smiles victoriously "Just what I was hoping to drop into my lap: a good fight!" he says before rushing forward. With adrenaline coursing through his body and bond, he shoves a fist into the small ginger's gut.
Kev flew backwards a few steps and took off back to the cave. He had one shot to make this work. He couldn't beat Eddward in a fight and he knew Eddward wouldn't believe a thing he said, so he would show him.
Eddward darts after him seeing red "Get back here and fight like the man you told my mate you were!" he roars.
"No! You have to catch me, if you can!" Kev calls out. Seeing the cave entrance, he puts on a burst of speed, but stops just inside turning and bracing for impact.
Eddward growls and tackles him grabbing his throat "I'm going to rip you limb from l-" Just then Eddward catches the scent of a fledgling. "Whoever is here with you would do well to stay away if this is an ambush..."
"No, it's not..." he wheezed "I know you wouldn't believe anything I said, I knew I had to show you."
Eddward growls "Speak before I kill you then. What's going on? Show me what?"
Kev slowly stands, still in pain, but tries to remain strong for his partner. "I come to you humbled, Eddward... I need help. I know I'm the last person that you would ever think about helping and I can only begin to apologize but that would never make up for the things I've done. My partner... He's hurt. Alistar hurt us both... He punished me for failing to do my job and he hurt my partner for giving me water after my punishment. I don't know how to heal, I don't know anything medical, I'm all technology. Please Eddward, help him. Get him on the road to recovery and we will leave this place and never bother you again."
Eddward growls in frustration "Tell me, do you know anything about the trackers?"
"I know a bit, he knows more" Kev wheezed and swayed a bit before steadying himself. "We're both pretty injured but he is the worst. Please, if you help us, we'll help you with anything."
Eddward sighs and rubs his temples he knows that he isn't lying. "Wait a moment, you said water?" he asks skeptically.
"Yes, he was trying to give me some water after Alistar tortured me and left me to suffer for two days."
"No wonder you are relatively weak and a slow healer..." Eddward mutters to himself as he bends down and begins ripping the clothes of the small fledgling off gently, noticing he looked like him he quirks a brow but stays silent about it.
"Alistar didn't allow us to have blood but for once or twice a month."
Eddward sighs "Human food and drink are like junk food and soda pop for humans. It keeps us going but it leaves us weak and lethargic. Was it ever fresh or was it from blood bags?" he questions as he continues to look over the raven.
"Blood bags since we were 'weaker and useless'" Kev scoffs.
"Did Alistar know you blooded him?" Eddward questions opening one of the small man's eyes.
"He knows that I changed him. I didn't mean to, it just happened."
Eddward notices a savage scar on the young doctor's neck that looks like someone bit him. "You were in the middle of having sex and you were so starved for real blood that you lost control. The only way you could save him was to blood him, that about right?" he asks having seen it plenty of times when he was an Elder.
Kev blushes and looks away "Y-yes... I could never hide anything from you."
Eddward sighs "You are still a fledgling after all these years… First things first, I need to get you some blood then I need to get my mate here to discuss this with him" he says standing up.
"Y-yes, I understand. Can you please just make sure he won't die while you get him?" Kev pleaded.
"I don't have to go get him, I can contact him through our bond. Regardless, he will be fine until I get back with blood for you."
"Alright..." Kev sat on the ground by Edd's head, running his hand through his bangs.
Eddward sends a signal to Kevin then darts out. He is back minutes later with two limp bodies. Throwing one at Kev's feet and then slits the others wrist and brings it to smaller Raven's mouth for him to feed. He immediately latches on and in a minute, the teenager that Eddward brought is dry.
Kev grabbed the body and hungrily drank as he has seen Eddward and other vampires do. By the time he was done, there was a stirring in the forest and a tall red head appeared through the trees. Entering the cave, Kevin spots Eddward before looking behind him and seeing Kev over another prone body of the floor. "What the shit is going on?!" Kevin jumped back.
"Calm yourself, mon amour" Eddward says soothingly as he gets in front of the two fledglings.
"Calm myself?! Did you forget him and his Daddy tried to KILL US a few days ago?!"
"No I didn't but he has abandoned Alistar... Him and this other fledgling are seriously injured they need help and I, unfortunately, am honor-bound to do it."
Kevin looks blankly at Eddward with a bored expression "K" and goes to walks away.
"Excuse us for a moment..." Eddward sighs warily before dashing out to head off his mate "Kevin. Stop."
"Why? Go tend to your honor. If I keel over, I was right."
Eddward growls and gets in Kevin's face "I trusted you when you brought Nazz into our house after she tried killing me twice! I ask you to do the same for me."
"I like how I get blamed for that. Who brought her home?!"
"They may have been the ones to bring her but you asked me to help her, did you not?"
"So she could be well enough to fend for herself but she stayed and now we can't get rid of her. You just believe the first thing that pops out of his mouth?! How do you know he isn't lying about leaving Alistar?"
"Because I can read him like a book, I always have... Kevin, do you trust me?"
"Eddward, we have a lot more riding on us than just you and me. We actually have a small pack... A family... I can't lose it again over some blind faith and a few fledglings!" Kevin growled back.
"You are correct and that is why we should take them in and help them, Kevin. For our family."
"I officially have no fucking idea what you are talking about right now."
"Kevin, he said the other fledgling can help with the tracking devices."
Kevin looked at his mate, astounded "No."
"You are willing to let him sleep forever then?" Eddward asks backing off and crossing his arms.
"Can I kill them if it doesn't work?"
"I will help you if he is lying to save his lover" Eddward nods.
"So, just to be sure, you want me to trust your ex, who recently tried to kidnap Daniel and kill us, with waking up my little brother? I don't trust him or his little bitch and I don't like the situation at all. I need to see some hardcore proof that he isn't just blowing smoke up your ass."
Eddward nods "Understandable and I agree, we need to bring Nazz here to heal them then we can interrogate them together. If we don't like what we hear, we kill them."
"That's it, right? That's all there is... Just some misguided fledgling honor?"
"Yes, I feel nothing for him... The only reason I am helping him is because I blooded him and it is my duty to guide him. I may be an outcast but I will uphold that much of the vampire ways" Eddward says drawing close to his mate and kissing him. "You have my heart, now and forever, no one else."
Kevin sighed and unfolded his arms, wrapping them around Eddward's waist. "Does this mean I get to throw a snit fit every time I see him for the next week? Or was that just an 'Eddward' thing?" Kevin snickered.
Eddward chuckles and rolls his eyes "If that is what you feel you must do; however, I will point out that I told you about him long before this."
Kevin laughed a bit harder before showing his fangs and biting down into Eddward's neck and sinking a few claws into the opposite shoulder, showing possession. Eddward moans loudly clutching the wolf and his cheeks dust pink in pleasure as he grinds into his mate. Meanwhile, the ginger who had been watching the exchange from the cave blushes hotly and slinks back in. Having seen the smaller redhead's reaction, Kevin grins and detaches. "Fine, we'll do things your way. I just hope we don't get blown up again."
Eddward smiles and kisses his lover "Thank you, darling. Now please hurry, the small Raven doesn't have long."
