CHAPTER 3: LUCAS' STORY
"Mate?" Harry asked in horror. Flash looked at him in shock.
"Y-you mean he didn't tell you? He's a vampire. We all are in this mansion. And he wants you as his mate. For about eleven years he's been watching you." Harry's jaw dropped from fright and anger.
"V-vampire?" He whispered. Flash smiled showing his fangs, and drank from the bloody cup making Harry gag.
"Yes, but that's not the only thing you should be aware of. I can smell that your probably one of the most innocent 16 year olds in your time." Harry looked at Flash in question.
"Virgin, you're a virgin." He said chuckling softly at Harry's beat red face.
"What's your point?" Harry asked raising a sheepishly eyebrow.
"Pierce, he always gets what he wants. If he wants to do things to you, he will. I'm just warning you." Was it him, or did everyone keep saying that Lucas gets what he wants? It was frustrating. Harry nodded in understanding.
"The only thing stopping him from doing what he really wants, like the bonding is because you're a wizard.
"You see most Vampires don't do magic, like him. So he's afraid of your magic and your allies, like the other wizards. But you have to know that he does love you- he'll do anything for you. And he is possessive, very protective over you." Harry just sat there felling...depressed?
"How do you know so much about him?" Flash gave a weak smile.
"Because I used to be very good friends with his little brother, Jake. Lucas and Jake used to be very close, inseparable. And just like he is to you, he was protective over his little brother."
"What happened to Jake?" Harry asked getting curious.
"He and the rest of the Pierce family were-,"
"You have no right." A voice yelled from the doorway, they both whipped around to see Lucas standing there with a knife in his hand and his eyes glowing red.
"Wow! Calm down Pierce. Potter needed to know about you before you raped him." Flash said about to stand up from the floor.
"I would never do that to Harry."
He came over and pushed Harry aside, a little too roughly and Harry hit his head on the corner of the door. He ignored it as it stung and started to bleed on the back. Groaning, he looked up at Lucas who was above Flash holding a knife at his throat.
Harry and his Gryffindor bravery wanted to act quickly, when he saw his wand in Lucas' back pocket sticking out slightly. The young wizard ran over to the Vampire and took his wand out.
Lucas turned around and growled, his fangs were out and his eyes were glowing scarlet. Harry pointed his wand between the creature's eyes and started saying the curse.
"Per-," Before he could finish, Lucas jumped over Harry and grabbed the boy around the waist, dragging him out the room.
"Don't fight him Potter!" Flash yelled after him.
Like hell Harry would just sit there. They arrived in Lucas' room when the vampire threw Harry on his bed. The raven haired wizard desperately tried to punch the man who was on him. With a snarl Lucas took Harry's arms and pinned them above his head.
It was then when Harry was terrified and took Flash's advice to stay still. Lucas took the boy's stillness to his advantage and forced his tongue in Harry's mouth.
Kisses were okay for Harry but when Lucas put his hand on his groin Harry jerked.
"Lucas! Please, stop." Something in his voice made the Vampire cut short. Red vicious eyes turned to shockedindigo as he saw what he did to his mate.
The man jumped off quickly and turned away from Harry in shame. The wizard quickly sat up and brought his knees up to his chin, flinging his arms over his legs and putting his head down on them.
A glass was shattered as Harry's powers were uncontrollable and the room started to shake slightly. A hand came down on his shoulder.
"Harry, I'm so sorry." Something else crashed in the room and Harry found himself in someone's arms being rocked back and forth.
The room's movements stopped and soft murmuring could be heard as Lucas tried to calm him down.
"I'm sorry Harry." A loving voice murmured.
"No, it's my fault. I'm sorry; I should have never asked such personal questions about you." Harry said softly backing out of Lucas' touch.
"No you shouldn't have, but I should have never done what I did to you. I should've told you about me before you found out by someone else." He paused for a moment.
"If you have any questions about me or my past I'll answer them." He looked over at Harry who was in a safe zone from Lucas.
"You're a vampire." Harry stated dumbly.
"Yes, but I'm a blended Vampire. Like the rest of us who live here." Lucas replied looking away.
"Blended Vampires?" Harry asked in question.
"You'll learn all about vampires this year in Dark Arts." Harry nodded and drew a pattern on the bed sheets.
"Are you a royal Vampire?" Lucas sighed.
"I guess I should tell you about my past. It was depressing for me, just like yours." He took a deep breath and rubbed his eyes.
"I had a family, a mom, dad, two older brothers (Alex and David) and a younger brother named Jake. You see, we grew up in America and I had a Grandfather in Britain. I later found out my father moved to America to get away from him.
"Anyway, both my parents had blond hair, tan skin, and blue eyes and so did all my other brothers, except me. I was the odd ball, my two older brothers always made fun of me and my father always hit me for small things. That's were I got my temper.
"My mother just watched this and never did anything. But everything changed when my younger brother Jake grew up. He helped me get through things and I loved him deeply for that.
"We got older, I was 20 years old Jake was 18. We shared something no one ever did, a special bond between two brothers. I visited my whole family on Christmas night, the night were I met my Grandfather.
"Vampires crashed my house killing my whole family, right in front of me. I tried to save Jake at least, but they were too strong. I stood and watched them drain his blood." His voice cracked but he continued.
"My Grandfather introduced himself, Antonio Pierce the King of the Blended Vampires. He had pale skin, brown curly hair, and dark purple eyes. It was like looking in a mirror. He gave me a choice, either live with him or live in America all alone.
"As you can see I choose to go with him. Of course I was bitten by him and turned into the man I am today. For20 long years I was trained to become the best. I'm now 40 years old, Prince of the Blended Vampires."
When he finished Harry had mixed emotions running through him, fright, pity, concern, and love for Lucas. He was brought back to the real world when Lucas started up again.
"I thought I would never find that love again, but I found something even better... you." Harry looked up to meet eyes with the Vampire.
"You see, I know a lot about you, Harry. I know that you weren't treated well at your relatives house and you seeked someone to love you. Cedric Diggory and Sirius Black died, you felt the guilt, thinking it was your fault. And loosing your Godfather you too thought that you would never love again."
That was exactly how Harry felt, and he would never admit it to anyone. Inside of him, he really knew he needed Lucas- but he wasn't ready for a relationship.
A finger slid under his chin and Green eyes met purple.
"I- I'm not ready for a relationship with you." He stated softly. Lucas immediately let go of Harry and looked angrily at the wall behind the wizard.
The young wizard shrunk back slightly.
"I mean-," He started.
"No. I shouldn't be acting this way lov- Harry. I understand where you're coming from. You want to know more about me, and I should earn your trust. I'm sorry I should have never said anything about me choosing you as a mate." Lucas spoke in a soft tone, totally ruining his bad ass side.
"Thank you. I just need a friend right now." Harry spoke looking in his eyes. The Vampire smiled at stood up.
"Well, we should be getting to sleep. We have a busy day ahead of us." Harry looked at him in question.
"It's a surprise." With that he took a pillow and a blanket and walked over to the couch.
"Night Harry." The boy watched as Lucas crawled on the couch and close his eyes. He knew the Vampire was mad at him but like he said, Harry needed to trust him first. And fall helplessly in love, And...Was he even gay? The young wizard sighed.
"Lucas, you should sleep in your bed, I'll sleep on the couch." Lucas opened one eye.
"It's fine Harry." He snapped, turning away from Harry and snapped his fingers once, making thee lights shut off.
Harry sneered and gave the Vampire a rude hand gesture and got off the bed. If Lucas was going to be stubborn than so was he. He slid to the floor and laid down. He wasn't going to sleep in that bed, feeling uncomfortable.
The floor was cold; hopefully he would die of coldness. With a sigh he fell into the land of nightmares.
Moaning and sharp intakes of breaths were heard from the dark stranger, in the corner of the cell. There was no light source in the room but Harry could make out another figure standing over the aching man.
"Tell me who the Lion cub is, where is he?"
"N-never." Harry stood in shock, he knew the second voice by heart... it was his Godfather.
"Crucio." The man screamed in bloody murder.
"SIRIUS!"
Lucas sat up in anguish for Harry as the boy yelled out. The Vampire got up and ran over to the bed not needing any light, since any Vampire can see in the dark. He noted in a slightly amusement, but concern as Harry wasn't lying on the bed, but on the floor without a pillow or a blanket, screaming and shaking.
He lowered himself to the floor.
"Harry. Harry, wake up love." He gently shook the boy from his nightmare. The wizard woke up with a start and started whimpering, not fully awake.
The vampire gathered the boy in his arms and rocked him back and forth for the second time that day, whispering calming words. Harry clamed down immediately and clung at Lucas' shirt like his life depended on it. The older man carried Harry over to the bed and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
