A dark chuckle echoed in the room, the brunette moving away from the taller male. Glancing down at the prone body of the boy he'd come to check on. The shorter boy backing himself into a wall, staring at the other boy in horror.
"Stay away from me!"
"Lover boy Caleb is visiting Pogue and big brother Reid is unconscious, what are you going to do now?"
The boy wanted to say scream, but shifted down the wall, reaching the door to the bathroom, blindly reaching for the door knob behind him. Screaming when the older boy grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground. The brunette backing away before kicking at the boy who'd grabbed his leg, dragging him away from Reid.
"Now now, you'll wake him up." The boy said, as he put a finger to his lips, "Make anymore noise and you'll wish I killed you."
The younger boy kicked the older one, scrambling backwards.
"Reid wake up!"
"Tyler, give it up, he's unconscious." Chase said.
Tyler shook the blonde hard, screaming loudly when he was thrown into the wall. Being held there by pure power, as hands closed over his neck. Gripping it like a vice, the boy grinned.
"Let's see, I put Pogue in the hospital, blondie over there is unconscious, and you'll be dead."
Tyler tried to struggle, feeling the power leave him.
"But I want you to try to live, it'll make it so much more interesting when I tell Caleb about how you almost lived. Fighting until your last breath."
"Fuck…you…Chase." Tyler said, trying to breathe, "If…you….love…me why…are you…doing…this?"
"Because even when I took your fucking memories you still remembered him. And if I can't have you, then why not make sure he can't either."
His hands shoved at Chase's, who just grinned at him. A strange sound escaping him when Chase's hold tightened. Hands pushing harder now.
"Now if you had picked me, this wouldn't be happening." Chase said, smirking, "I wouldn't be choking you, I'd be kissing you."
Tyler opened his mouth and closed it as he felt his arms start to tire. His lungs were burning like there was a miniature fire in there. His vision was rapidly darkening as his hands went limp, falling to his sides.
Sliding down the wall when he saw a blur knock Chase down. Tyler gasped in breaths, holding his throat as he started to cough at the same time.
Looking over he saw Caleb on top of Chase, hitting the boy. Why was the boy here? He was supposed to be finding out about Pogue…
Watching Chase overpower Caleb, the boy hitting the bed frame. Tyler shakily got up and launched himself on Chase's back. Groaning when Chase ran backwards, slamming Tyler's back into the wall. Tyler whimpered as Chase grabbed the younger boy's arms. Tyler yelped when he was thrown off of Chase's back and onto the hard surface of Caleb's desk. He groaned as he slid off the desk, landing on the floor with a loud thud.
Tyler cried out when Chase stomped on his back when the brunette had tried to get up.
"I'm going to really enjoy killing you." Chase snarled at Tyler, who backed up, "You, stay."
Caleb stopped moving, his eyes widening as he watched the two. Tyler rolled onto his hurt back, holding in a wince as he started to move backwards. His body was protesting the movement as Chase started to walk towards him.
"Stay away from him Chase!" Caleb yelled.
When Tyler hit the wall, he slowly stood up, using the door knob of Caleb's closet, fear pooling in his stomach, making him feel ill.
"This is even more perfect, Caleb can watch you fight for your life." Chase said, smiling.
Tyler was still taking in deep breaths, his lungs burning still.
"But how to kill you is the question. I could kill you slowly; your choices would be choking or bleeding out. Or quickly…but I've never been one for quick, so slow it is." Chase said.
"Then why even mention it?" Tyler asked his voice rough.
"It's more fun if you think you can choose."
"I choose neither, and instead want you to die." Tyler said, kicking the boy in the gut.
Punching Chase and sending him into the door, Tyler moved towards Caleb's bed. Yelping when his ankle was grabbed, dropping to the floor, and being dragged back. Nails digging into the wooden floor, leaving track marks. Caleb was screaming at Chase, Tyler kicking Chase, hitting the boy in the nose, hearing him moan in pain. Tyler crawled towards the bed again, hand going under the mattress before Chase pulled him back again. A gold switchblade was in his hands, remembering that Caleb always had it under his bed in case of emergencies.
This constituted as an emergency, Tyler thought.
Chase restrained Tyler by his wrists and ankles with his Power.
"Now now, that's cheating." Chase said, pulling the switchblade Tyler had grabbed.
Tyler struggled as Chase tossed the blade away. The oldest standing as he walked over to Caleb.
"Let's ask your boyfriend how I should kill you, shall we?"
Caleb glared at the boy as Chase laughed.
"How about it Caleb choking or stabbing?"
Caleb didn't say a word, instead looking at Tyler, who was still struggling vainly on the floor.
"Stabbing you say. Why I couldn't agree more." Chase said, looking around, "Now where'd that switchblade go?"
Chase looked around before sighing, "You know choking is so overdone for me…well…so are car accidents, but hell, I can't be picky now can I?"
Chase's eyes flashed black as a he disappeared. Tyler struggled against the invisible bonds, as Caleb tried to pull his feet up.
"Can you move Baby Boy?" Caleb asked.
"If I could do you think I would be laying here?" Tyler snapped.
Caleb winced a little as Chase came back in, holding a knife. Tyler recognized it as one of Caleb's kitchen knives. Chase walked over to the boy on the floor, Tyler finally giving up as he looked at the brunette.
"Wait." Tyler finally said, gulping.
"Yes?"
"Don't I get some kind of last wish or something?" Tyler asked, voice breaking.
Chase grinned as he leaned over the boy.
"Depends on what you want."
Tyler bit his lip, softly chewing on it as he looked at Chase. The boy's eyes widening ever so slightly. If Tyler knew anything about the boy while they were dating it was that if Tyler did anything with his lips it drove Chase up the wall.
Chase looked away from Tyler before rising up.
"I'd like to stay with you." Tyler said.
Chase looked at him in confusion.
"How so?"
Tyler chewed on his bottom lip again. He looked at Caleb to see the boy's look of confusion. Tyler knew Caleb was having a thousand thoughts per second, and he couldn't really blame the boy.
"Tyler, pet, how so?" Chase asked, "Are you willing to dump Caleb and the rest of the Covenant for me?"
The brunette shifted a little of the ground, watching Chase, who looked more excited than anyone Tyler had ever seen before. He looked like a kid who got everything that he wanted for Christmas.
"Yes." Tyler said simply.
Chase's grin widened almost inhumanly so.
"Wait…how do I know you aren't lying?"
Tyler sighed as he looked at Caleb who was shaking his head at the brunette.
"I figure it like this Chase. You won't leave me alone, even in death." Tyler said, "So why not go together?"
Chase looked at the boy in confusion.
"I'm not going anywhere pet."
Tyler laughed a little before shaking his head.
"That's where you're deeply mistaken." Tyler said.
"How is that pet?" Chase asked, aggravation clear in his voice.
"Because I've been stalling while Reid woke up." Tyler said.
"What in the hell are you talking about?"
Tyler only smiled at the boy, as Caleb looked to see the blonde stand up from his spot on the ground. The blonde looked absolutely pissed and homicidal.
"I'm talking about how much of a dumbass you are." Tyler told him.
Chase turned to see the blonde standing with the switchblade Tyler had gotten. Chase gasped when Reid shoved the switchblade in his chest. The oldest of the boys gaping as he turned around, seeing Tyler stare at him before falling to his knees and shoving the knife in Tyler's stomach, before falling down.
The brunette gasped as he felt pain spread from his stomach and through his body. Seeing Reid and Caleb both freak out as they crowded around him, the world turning black before they said a word to him.
