Welcome back. I seem to be really fast. This one is longer than the others. Because.. well I was on the roll.
I must thank my Beta. Pier. She is amazing. :D
Chapter Two: Once Dead, Twice Alive:
The blond walked down the stair case, his body incased in an extravagant blue dress, his hair pulled up in a ponytail and the ends were curled in little ringlets. Bright Ice blue eyes roamed the crowd, all duller eyes on his. He held in a gasp as Cold crystal blue met angelic blue as Alois's feet touched the last step.
A step towards Tali was denied with a grip at Alois's shoulder by Ash.
"Remember your job" Ash hissed, and Alois nodded and stepped into the crowd. Speaking pleasantries with the swine, coming to the pig barrel. Oh how they make Alois laugh at their crawling and begging. But Alois shook his head and smiled, dancing with men that asked, throughout the night.
Avoiding Tali purposely, he couldn't go to Tali. Tali would figure it out. He couldn't allow that, his love would try to stop him.
So he swiftly moved out of the dance floor and the lavish room, and down the stone stairs, to the queen's garden. Flowers dulled by the bright moon, consumed the blond as he ran between the bushes. He wanted to disappear, even for just a few minutes. Among the high walls, the blue jay hid himself in the gazebo, entwined in vines of roses. Cool wind swept the blond locks around his face, as he stared at his feet; tears formed their own trails down crystal waves of silk.
White cloth covered Alois's petite shoulders. His eyes slid up to meet a pair of loving ones, as arms encircled him carefully.
"…Alois…" Tali's voice was just a whisper, his face burying itself in blond hair. "…My love, Alois… You're alive. I can't believe it. But you are here in my arms. I thought I lost you forever. But I have you now… and I will never let you go…" Strong arms tightened around Alois's waist, soft kisses, littered the boy's neck.
"Tali…." Alois murmured relished in the kisses, but knew he had to pull away. He gently moved away from the angel. "…I am sorry…." The blond spoke standing, and headed towards the exit, but Tali's stopped him.
"Where are you going? Alois… What is going on?" Tali questioned, stroking the blond's cheek, softly. Alois shoved him and ran off, through the bushes and flowers. He was quickly caught by Ash, and his wrist was yanked towards him. The Chaotic Angel was right behind him.
"Ash! What the hell are you doing?" Tali snarled, watching the hermaphrodite, stroke his lover's cheek. Crystal eyes shimmering with fear and worry, but he remained silent instead of struggling.
"Well... Tali… I have claimed your dead lover. He is now my property... to do with what I wish. So say I can do this." Ash smirked, breaking Alois wrist with a single twist. A sharp cry of pain as Alois went to cradle his wrist, but his wrist was not released from the psychotic angel. Tears streamed down his cheeks, his wrist releasing throbbing pain.
Stepping forward, Tali snarled. That bastard just hurt Alois, but Alois wasn't fighting, he was acting like a beaten dog. "DON'T YOU DARE HURT HIM!" Tali shouted, materializing his staff. The front of Alois's dress had been ripped open, Ash's finger enclosed around a white feather that protruded out of the blond's chest. Surrounded by gold lettering written in the skin; it shown with the presence of a soul.
"If I pull this feather out, he dies Tali. He was brought back and, if I choose it, dies now all because of you. This is my revenge on you Tali. You got me removed from power…" Ash snickered, holding the feather close. Alois looked at Tali with fear. "He will be sent back to hell and get devoured or used by demons as a pet if he is lucky."
"You did it yourself…" Tali snarled, watching Alois with worry. He couldn't lose Alois… Not again. He wouldn't live, not without him.
Ash's grip loosened as he snarled at Tali. "I did not! IT WAS YOU!" He shouted. "YOU GOT ME REMOVED FROM MY POSTION. AND NOW YOU WILL PAY!" As Ash was about to rip the feather out a white gloved hand stopped him.
