Kevin groans, takes his wolf form, and shoots off into the woods. As soon as Kevin reach the safe house, he rouses Nazz out. "You're gonna love this..." as he gets her to follow him to the cave. Getting to the entrance, the blonde wolf gets just inside the cave the when she spots Kev. "NO! Get him away from me!"
"Yup, my thoughts exactly" Kevin sighed.
Eddward sighs "Nazz, he comes in peace. His father beat him and his lover to the point of injury. He left and has come asking for help" he explains calmly.
"And you believe him?!" she cries.
"Until he gives me reason not to... I might remind you that at one point you tried to kill me and look where we are now."
"Ugh... You need me to heal them?"
"If you would be so kind" Eddward nods stepping to the side as Kev backs away. "Please, please heal him first, he is worse off" he pleads.
Nazz takes her human form and kneels by the smaller raven. "Alright, but you..." she says pointing at Kev "...stay where I can keep an eye on you. Stand over there" pointing in front of her but far enough away to watch him. As Kev moves over, Nazz gets to work and soon Edd is resting comfortably.
Eddward checks him over and actually smiles at Nazz "Thank you, Nazz."
"You're welcome... Do I need to heal him too?" She levels a glare at Kev.
"Kevin, would you kindly restrain him so Nazz feels comfortable while I gather the small fledgling?" Eddward asks not letting it known that he just didn't want to be anywhere near the small vampire.
Kevin grins evilly "Absolutely" and grabs Kev, pinning his arms back behind him and lifting him so his feet were off the ground. Kev grunted with pain but said nothing, this was all for Edd... then they would be one step closer to getting out of this place and away from Alistar. Nazz walked over and healed him just as she did his partner, hoping the whole time that it wouldn't come back to bite her in the ass.
"Nazz, Kevin… May I speak with you privately?" Eddward requests.
Kevin dropped Kev to his feet as he stumbled away, muttering a thanks. Nazz walked to Eddward, Kevin following behind her, not trusting the small red vampire in the least.
Eddward leads them outside "What are we going to do with them? They cannot come to the house but we cannot leave them here, when they are likely the key to saving Daniel and getting the rest of the trackers shut down or removed."
Kevin thought for a moment before suggesting "Why can they not stay here? Danny stayed in a cave by himself for the better part of 3 years."
"And run the risk of them dashing off?" Eddward asks.
"You don't have some place we can lock them, do you?" Nazz asks.
"'Cuz that wouldn't be creepy or anything..." Kevin sassed. Eddward's face goes stone cold and he shifts uncomfortably.
Kevin's face pales "What is wrong with you?" but laughs heartily.
"It's not as though it is mine! I just found it!" Eddward says defensively.
"I honestly don't care. This is hilarious..." Kevin laughs.
Eddward sighs "It is an abandoned sheriff's station."
"Oh thank god... I really thought you had an underground dungeon" Kevin breathes a sigh of relief. "Let's get them there and get home. We've been way for long enough."
Eddward hesitates "Do you think someone should stay with them?"
"Yes, I do... No, not you" Kevin gives a tight lipped smile.
Eddward nods with a sigh "Of course not, who do you suggest?"
"What about your parents, Kevin? As long as the building is not dilapidated and falling apart, I'm sure they would like an actual building to reside in. And with your mother being a healer, she can make sure that I healed properly" Nazz suggests.
Eddward nods "That makes sense but can we trust them not to kill them?"
"If it's for Danny, they would" Kevin mused, irked that it worked for him.
"Mon amour, I will make this up to you I promise" Eddward says feeling his irritation.
Kevin shifts irritably "Let's just get this over with. You and Nazz take them to the sheriff's station. I'll get my father and meet you there."
Eddward nods "The redhead can walk, the Raven will need to be carried. I'll carry him if you keep the other in line" he says addressing Nazz.
"I can do that" she agrees as Kevin takes off to gather his father. Eddward walks in followed by Nazz "On your feet, lets go" he says scooping up the small ravenette.
"W-where are you taking us?" Kev asked as he jumped a little seeing the large blonde wolf behind him.
"A holding place so you can't run" Eddward says not even look at the ginger.
Kev just nodded, understanding why Eddward felt the need to do this. He had done all of this himself. He made this bed and now he would have to lie in it. What was making him nervous now was the blonde dog behind him. "What are you doing?!" he snapped a little at her. Nazz snapped back "I get to be your little traveling companion on this venture. Let's see if you make it to the end with all your limbs!" and she snapped her jaws a few times and his legs to get him moving.
Eddward chuckles "Nazz, dear, don't spoil your appetite with small snacks." Nazz snickered and they quickly made their way to the jailed sheriff's office.
Kevin reaches the safe house and gathers his father and the tracker, explaining on the way. Lucas quickly agrees "Anything to wake Danny up" just as Kevin expected. Kevin followed Eddward's resonating call, leading him to their location. By the time the father-son duo arrived, Kev was getting herded into the steel barred box.
Eddward is tempted to throw the small Raven in with him but the poor man had never gone after him and he barely even knew what he was. He walked in and laid him down on the only cot in the cell with his lover before quickly exiting and slamming it shut. "I need a chisel or screw driver" he says looking at the bars.
"All I have is the tracker" Kevin said apologetically, taking his human form.
"My love, it is fine, do not fret. I will get one and bring it tomorrow, I just wanted to etch unbreakable ruins."
"This would be a good test of my sincerity... Wouldn't it?" Kev asked from his spot, cradling his love's head in his lap.
"Mon amour?" Eddward asks leaving the decision up to him because he would honestly rather do the ruins.
"If you try to break out, my father will be here to kill you. If anything happens to him, I'm coming for you personally" Kevin warns.
"I get it, Jesus Christ..." Kev snaps.
"Don't get all pissy with me because you make bad choices" Kevin grins.
Eddward chuckles "You should be happy he makes bad choices" he says referring to his and his mate's relationships.
Kevin chuckles and turns to his father "Will you be okay here by yourself?"
Lucas laughed "I can handle these two. Your mother will be back soon. Don't worry, Kevin. I shall see you again when the Moon rises." Kevin tossed the small bag between the old bars of the cell "Here's another way you can earn some brownie points. Make this tracker work just to wake my brother up. You don't want it setting a signal to Alistar after all."
Kev nods glumly "I'll need to wait until he wakes up so he can help me..."
"That's fine. Just make it wake my brother up but not transmit the location. If neither of you can, you're not worth keeping alive." Kevin flicked his tail as he turned, bidding farewell to his father and walking out, heading home. He was tired and wanted to sleep...
Eddward walks after him and gently takes his arm and wraps it around his lover's waist "on amour, are you alright?"
"I have a horrible feeling in my gut... And I'm well past exhausted. I need to lie down."
Eddward nods "Yes, very well, let us proceed home" he says gently as the ginger leans on him.
Nazz takes off to hunt a bit before returning to the home. Eddward and Kevin arrive shortly after and Kevin heads straight to bed. Nazz approaches the Raven "I can try to heal him a bit. See if anything is wrong... If you want?"
"No, there is nothing wrong. He is just as stressed as am I. All I wanted to do was kill that little insect but the other fledgling, he is fragile and just blooded, he still smelled fresh and almost human. I could not kill him and then Anderson mentioned they could help with the tracking devices and I knew I had no choice" Eddward sighs wearily.
Nazz nodded "I hope this works out, Eddward. I think everyone misses Danny running around causing trouble." With that, she excused herself and went to bed, not knowing Marie was already asleep.
Eddward sighs and checks on Daniel before walking into his and Kevin's room, finding him staring at the ceiling "Darling…"
"Hmm?" came the broken response.
Eddward comes forward and stands in front of the ginger running his hand in his hair "Darling, please, talk to me."
"What's there to talk about? Everything is fucked right now and I can't see a way out. My brother is practically dead, my mother hates my mate and ran off somewhere, and the person who tried to kill me and my pack now I am helping survive and happens to be Danny's only chance at waking up. I leave anything out?"
"Darling, we have each other and Daniel will wake up, you must believe that" Eddward says softly continuing to run his hands through the ginger's hair.
Kevin grunts, grabbing Eddward's hand and pulling him to lie on the bed with the him. "I just want things to get back to what they were."
Eddward nods, feeling guilty, but quickly blocking the feeling from reacting to his mate. "I am sorry, my love, please is there anything I can do for you?"
"Give me one night, a full night of rest and maybe I won't break down. Put me to sleep" Kevin practically begged Eddward.
Eddward looks at him worriedly "You want to sleep through until tomorrow night?" he asks to be sure.
"Yes... Please, Eddward..." Kevin clung tight to him, refusing to let go until Eddward put him to sleep.
Eddward hugs the ginger closely to him. "If that is truly what you wish, mon cher" he says stroking the ginger's hair. "I love you so very much."
"I love you too..." Kevin says breathlessly, leaning into the vampire's touch.
"Look at me then, my darling, and I will grant your wish, though it pains me to do so" Eddward says gently. Kevin gazed into Eddward light blue eyes before the snapped to red and he felt everything go away and fell into a deep sleep, held tight in his mate's arms.
Eddward sighs and spends the rest of the day petting the wolf.
Edd groans as he begins waking up and for a moment everything in nice and calm until he remembers what happened and feels someone holding onto him as he scrambles away. "Please, Alistar it won't happen again! I'm so sorry! Oh god, I'm so sorry..." he says pathetically.
"Hey, hey! Its okay, D! We escaped Alistar and we're safe, for now" Kev closed in and gently cupped his face, kissing him sweetly. "It's alright..." He continued to coo sweet things into his ear, calming him.
Edd calms down a bit and looks around "Kev, if we are safe then why are we in an old jail cell?" he asks skeptically.
"Don't freak out... I got us help, but it was from an unlikely source... And it comes with a price."
Edd, who has his head in his hands because of a headache no doubt induced by that dastardly Doctor using it as a bongo drum, whips his head up to look at Kev in the eyes "What. Did. You. Do?"
"I sought help from the only person I knew we had the slim possibility of helping us... Don't be mad or freak out."
"What. Did. You. Do?!" Edd says with increasing worry and irritation.
"I found Eddward."
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
"He saved you and he helped me, it was the only option! You wouldn't have survived if I didn't" Kev calmly explained.
Edd sighs and his head falls back into his hands "Alistar is going to find us and it's going to be horrible… Oh God Kev… We are going to die!" he says beginning to sob.
"No, we have one thing keeping us alive" Kev held up the small bag with the tracker in it. "We need to make this work again but not transmit a signal. Apparently the smallest Barr is not waking up because they removed it. I told Eddward that there was a good chance that you and I could make it so he will wake up but not transmit."
Edd eyes the bag then takes it in his hand digging inside and bringing it out "this is one of the older ones..." he says thoughtfully.
"Well, it would have been one of the first ones created. For all I know, he was probably the guinea pig for it." Kev said nonchalantly.
"I would watch my tongue if I were you..." A deep voice growled from a distant corner. "That 'guinea pig' is my youngest son."
"Now sir, we mean no disrespect" Edd says placidly to the unknown male voice. "Yes, the technology is primitive. Tell me you grabbed my tools?" he asks hopefully.
"I didn't grab much, I was too worried about getting you out and finding help. But our friend on the inside loaded us down with most of what we need" Kev grinned. "If we can make this work, we'll be let go and we can run. Won't stop until we are far enough away. I promise."
Edd smiles at the thought but then frowns deeply "Darling, what about blood? How will we ever get what we need? Neither of us know how to hunt..." he says worriedly.
Lucas chuckles "I'm sure Eddward has plans to train you I believe that's what my son told me anyway."
"I hope so, we won't survive long without those skills. Let's just work on getting this tracker working so it can get off my conscience."
Edd nods "It will be simple, just hand me the tool I ask for, if you please" he says, beginning to work.
