Tyler and Reid had been playing video games for an hour. Reid dominating the younger boy at various games, as they waited. Tyler sighing when he lost each time, while Reid whooped and hollered. When they heard a knock on the door, Tyler stood up, turning the game system off. He helped the struggling blonde up as they walked to the door.
"About fucking time." Reid said, opening the door.
Tyler's eyes widened in horror when he saw Chase, who looked up with a smirk on his face. Reid reacted faster than himself as he slammed the door and locked it. He grabbed Tyler's hand as they ran down the hallway. Reid was practically dragging the boy. When they made it to the kitchen they heard a crash in the front hall. Reid pushed Tyler up the stairs first, following the boy quickly as they rushed upstairs.
"Where can we hide?" Tyler whispered as Reid shrugged.
"I don't know, but we have to keep moving around." Reid said, gripping the boys hand tighter.
They ran into Caleb's room, shutting the door gently and locking it.
"Tyler, if you hear a bang on the door, we're going to head to the next room through the bathroom okay?" Reid asked, seeing the boy nod, "Then we'll run out of the room and down the stairs. If he knocks me out you have got to run out of the house okay?"
"Should we try to call Caleb?" Tyler asked, as Reid nodded.
The blonde pulled out his cell phone, quickly texting the older boy.
"If we call then he'll hear us talking." Reid whispered.
He sent the message and slid his phone back in his pocket. They heard heavy footsteps before Reid moved to the door. He put his ear to eat, listening to what was happening outside.
Tyler was standing near Caleb's bed, looking at the bathroom door before he looked back over at Reid. The blonde's head moved away from the door, before it busted open, slamming against the wall. Reid fell back, gripping his head where he'd been hit. Chase glided in, before muttering sleep at Reid, who fell to the floor in a dead faint.
Tyler looked at Chase before running for the bathroom. Chase grabbing the boy's hair before throwing him to the ground.
The brunette's head was down sitting up on his knees, as the older boy circled him. The brunette's eyes were wide in panic and fear, while the older brunette's eyes were narrowed into dangerous slits.
"Did you honestly think I wasn't going to come back for you?" Chase sneered, as Tyler looked at Reid's unconscious form.
The boy was bleeding from his head, unmoving, causing Tyler to panic even more. The only reason he knew the blonde was alive was because of the very faint rise and fall of the boy's chest. But he was panicked because Reid, who was going to protect him, wasn't conscious. Which left Tyler in a sticky situation that he didn't want to ever be in. Tyler's lips quivered as Chase grabbed his hair and yanked his head back.
"Answer my question Tyler." Chase ordered.
"Yes." Tyler muttered, as Chase grinned.
"The correct answer is no. Because you're mine Tyler." Chase said, "Not Caleb's but mine."
Tyler cried out in pain when Chase lifted him by his hair, forcing the boy down on the bed.
"Now, what we have here is an ultimatum." Chase snapped, "You can either be mine and I won't kill them, or you can resist and I can kill them now."
Tyler's eyes widened as he shook his head, "No."
"Then you'll be mine."
Tyler shook his head.
"Make up your mind Tyler."
"I don't want either!" Tyler screamed.
"Aw well you have to make a decision. Caleb won't stay with you forever. He's like all the rest of them. He only wanted to fuck you. And now that he has, he'll leave."
Tyler stared at the boy in horror. How did Chase know everything? It was like he had eyes everywhere.
"No! Caleb wouldn't do that to me, I-"
"You may be part of his Covenant, but you're still the baby of the group. And when he realizes he can have someone better he'll ditch you."
"No he won't."
"Yes he will, it's inevitable."
"I don't believe you!"
"You know I'm right Tyler, I'm always right."
Chase's hand had started to creep up Tyler's leg. The boy moving away from the touch, kicking out at the boy.
"Get off of me!" Tyler screamed.
"Uh uh Baby Boy." Chase said, as Tyler started to cry.
Tyler heard screeching tires and the door downstairs slam open. They both heard Caleb and Pogue scream Tyler and Reid's name, before Chase glared down at him. Tyler screamed for Caleb, yelping when Chase smacked him.
"You can have all the time in the world to make your decision. But remember when Caleb leaves you, I'll be there and not even you saying yes is going to help you."
Chase punched Tyler before yanking him off the bed, the younger boy letting out a faint whimper. Caleb and Pogue rushing into the bedroom, eyes black as night. He gripped Tyler by the throat, glaring at Caleb and Pogue.
"Now look what I have here boys." Chase said, as Pogue looked down at Reid.
"What did you do to him?" Pogue growled.
"Just knocked him out so I could have quality time with Tyler." Chase said, his hand sliding down to Tyler's pants.
Tyler whimpered, his eyes closing as more tears fell from his eyes.
"Let him go!" Caleb snarled.
"I don't think so brother." Chase said, "Not until I'm done."
He lifted his hand at Caleb and Pogue knocking them out of the room, the doors slamming shut.
Chase leant next to Tyler's ear, "I will be back for you and if you don't submit I'll take you by force, do you understand?"
Tyler nodded before Chase threw him down, disappearing as Tyler saw Reid waking up. The doors slamming open as Caleb and Pogue came back in ready to fight.
"Ty, are you okay?" Reid asked, as Tyler shook his head.
Caleb rushed over to his lover, pulling him into his lap.
"You alright Reid?" Pogue asked, kneeling next to the blonde.
Reid nodded his head, "It's just a scratch."
Pogue shook his head, helping the boy up, "Let's go patch it up."
Reid sighed as Pogue led him out of the room.
"What'd he say to you?" Caleb asked gently.
Tyler shook his head again, shaking all over as he looked at Caleb's bed. Tyler crawled out of Caleb's arms as he brought his knees up. He hated Chase Collins. He absolutely loathed the boy. How did he date him? How didn't Tyler realize that he was an asshole?
"Tyler, what did he say to you?"
"I don't want to talk about it Cay." Tyler muttered, flinching when Caleb touched him.
"I told you to not listen to anything he said. It's not true and he's just saying it to make you isolate yourself from us."
Tyler shook his head as he said, "It's not just that Cay. It's everything! Him being back, Reid's ascension, school, it's all building up and I can't take it anymore!"
"Reid will be fine, school is easy for both of us, and Chase won't do a damn thing to you."
"You can't promise two out of those three things Caleb." Tyler said, "Words are pretty when you don't have to keep them."
Caleb looked at Tyler in shock, "What'd he say Baby Boy? Please tell me so I can help."
"Just that he was going to come back for me. You guys came back before he could say too much." Tyler said, partially lying.
"I'll protect you from him Ty, I promise."
"Cay, you can't promise that, we both know that."
"But I can try damnit." Caleb said, "Tyler, I love you and I'm not about to let Chase's psychotic ass take you away from me."
Tyler smiled at Caleb, crawling back into the boys lap. Caleb cradled Tyler against himself as he pressed kisses to Tyler's head.
"I promise I'll do everything in my power, mortal and supernatural, to keep Chase away from you."
"He scares me so much Caleb. Almost dying killed whatever sanity was in him….and whatever is left it's been warped into an unhealthy obsession."
Caleb nodded as he gripped Tyler tighter. Pogue and Reid came back in, looking at the two boys before Reid sat in front of Caleb, hugging Tyler. Pogue went to the side and hugged the other three boys tightly.
Not letting go as if afraid if they did they'd never see the other three again. Because Chase was still too big of a threat to not take seriously anymore.
