Chapter 4

"Just sleep, little one. We`ll talk tomorrow."

And Alex fell into the deep and peaceful realm of sleep.

Akefia`s Perspective

"He`s beautiful," I think, as I pull him close into a hug before he settles into a deep sleep, "And he`s mine."

I don`t regret raping him, because I only did it to see how he would react and I marked him as my own, otherwise Bakura and Marik would be all over him. I didn`t want those two to touch what`s mine, but now he`s just going to hate me. As if I care what he thinks, he`s just another random kid off the street who took an interest in my circus.

He shifts in his sleep, as though he is uncomfortable. He groans pitifully, as if he is in severe pain. He must be having a nightmare. And a bad one at that.

"I don`t want him to be any more moody than he already is, but I also don`t want him to end up crying on my shoulder." I decided to wake him up. I shake him a bit, but he shows no sign of waking, so I shake him a lot and he does wake up, of course he also jumps to the side in fright, which ended with him, sitting on the floor, looking quite dazed, but with an underlining of anger directed at me.

Normal Perspective

"What the hell, Akefia? Why am I on the floor?" Alex asks the smirking Ringleader, "Don`t just sit there and laugh at me! Why am I on the floor?"

"Because you jumped off the bed." Akefia stated with an even more annoying grin.

"What the fuck would I do that for?" asked Alex, getting increasingly pissed off every time Akefia smirked at him in an annoying fashion.

"Because you were having a nightmare, and I decided to wake you up instead of having a whingeing, moaning 14 year old around my circus, who spies on people and insists on wearing no shoes or socks at any time of the day!" The Ringleader replied with a quiet laugh.

"Agggggg, why can`t you just shut up and piss off instead of molesting me, raping me and laughing in my face when I clearly don`t find it very funny."

Akefia just took one long look at Alex`s face with its seriously angry frown and dagger eyes and burst out laughing. He stood up, pulled some clothes on and walked out of the door.

Alex heard him lock it from the outside.

"Might as well get some sleep if he`s not here." Alex thought, whilst letting out a long sigh.

He crawled over to the bed and pulled himself up onto it. He lay down in the mess of feathers and blood, and closed his eyes.

Wait.

Feathers and blood?

Alex`s eyes shot open and he sat up. Looking around he saw blood speckled feathers and small puddles of the sticky red liquid. He looked down at himself and saw that he too was covered in blood.

"When Akefia gets back, he is so dead." Was his last thoughts before he collapsed from exhaustion back into the dark, red, feather covered mattress.

How was this chapter? I think this story is coming along nicely. It will have lots more chapters with lots more character interaction, so just be nice, review and wait patiently for the next update.

Review please, no flames.
