Matthew groaned and rolled over covering his ears with his hands. he sighed and sat up wondering what all the noise was. he glanced around the small room before looking at the untouched sleeping area of his masters. he ears drooped a bit as he realized that the vampire captain hadn't came to bed at all last night. Getting out of bed the young neko was stretching when the door was suddenly swung open causing him to jump.

The brown haired vampire barged into the blond neko's room. "Hola Matthew! good to hear you're awake! now come on, we have docked at the island and are now unloading everything!" he grinned at the startled neko. he blinked now noticing how startled and familiar this younger servant looked. he ignore the the fact that he looked familiar focusing on the fact he scared the little guy yet again. he smiled kindly. "uh Lo siento! I didn't mean to sartle you….again.."

The servant neko shook his head "oh it's quite all right but. um. where's Master Gil?" he tilted his head to side as he waited for an answer. he wasn't sure why Antonio was the one sent to come get them. he started to wonder if his master was busy doing other things sense it did sound like they were at this island they were headed for. he watched the vampire pirate rub the back of his head then mutter something in...wait...was that spanish? he knew a vampire back when he lived with Francis that talked a lot in spanish! this couldn't be the same vampire, could it? he now wanted to ask about that but the other was now speaking to him in english.

The brown haired pirate rubbed the back of his head as he hesitantly answered the young one before him."Well you see. your master, he wanted me to watch over you till this whole move was over." he watched as the neko's ears fell the minute he said that. he panicked a bit inside not wanting to make anyone sad. "hey do be sad. I can be fun too! we could uh make a game out of this moving stuff! yea how about we do that! is that okay Matthew?" he kept his smiled on his face even though his attempt to cheer the other up didn't really work. he had just gotten a shrug in response. He sighed "well Matthew, look Gil is busy so I'm sure he'll want to see you again after we move! Okay?" he grinned as the neko's ears perked up glad he seemed to finally say something the other liked.

Matthew looked up with hopeful eyes at being told he still might be able to see his master. He nodded glad but was still curious about if this was the same Spanish speaking vampire from when he was young because he still wanted to thank him for helping save him and his brother way back then. then again this could have been just another spanish vampire and not the same one so he stayed quiet as they headed out to help out the others with unloading the ship.

During the moving process the neko had gotten himself separated from his Spanish vampire chaperone. he started to get nervous looking around for him when suddenly a strange man appeared in front of him. he didn't like his sent it made him sick to his stomach. he had never ever smelt anything like this creature. he didn't smell like anything but wild animal and…death. he gulp a bit but trying to ignore it since this was one of his master's crew members. right? he was dressed in that same outfit as the crew on the ship and remembered seeing him on the ship. he gulped as the white haired man spoke to him.

"well aren't you far from the captain. I'm sure he is looking for you. here I'll take you to him. how about that?"

Matthew stared at the hand that was outreached to him. he resisted the urge to cover his nose or lay his ears back from his disgusting smell. he stayed strong debating to go with him or not. His instincts were screaming at him to run but he didn't know where to run to. He was in an unknown area plus he could trust this guy. right? he had no other way to find Gilbert and this may have been the only other way. He looked around and noticed he was alone with this guy. he had wandered too far away from the other's. he looked back at the white haired man before hesitantly taking his hand. he felt his stomach churn at the smirk and tight grip on his hand the other gave him. he also shuttered in fear as this guy's other hand gently ran a hand against his cheek and threw his hair. he could have sworn he heard the man say he smelt good which made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

"Okay Matthew. Follow me."

GIlbert sighed looking around. Everyone was pretty much done moving things off the ship and into the small town further into the island's forest. He grinned proud at his island choice since this place was full of thick woods that trespassers could easily get lost in. he also had a lot of time to think over this situation with his servant and decided he would figure just what kind of guy made his little servant go into heat! As he was thinking over his plans for how he was to do this he was interrupted by another one of his best friends calling his name. He looked up to see a fashionably dressed vampire walking over to him. He grinned waving at his friend. "Hallo Francis!"

Francis smiled hugging his friend. "Glad to see you back mon ami! 'ow was ze trip to see king Ivan? Did you really get a servant of 'is?" he was really interested on who exactly Ivan was willing to part with. Especially when he knew two of his servants very well. "so go on tell me 'ow it went! tell moi everything!"

The pirate captain chuckled then sighed rubbing the back of his head. "Vell ja I got a new servant zough zhere seems to be a slight issue…"

The blond vampire raised an eyebrow. "an issue? well what's ze name gilbert?"

"oh vell his name ist Matthew. He's vith Antonio right now und ze issue ist zhat-" The white haired captain was interrupted by his other best friend calling out to both of them.

"Glibert! Francis!" Antonio ran over throwing an arm around each of their shoulders. "its good to finally be together again!" he looked over at his servant who was slowly walking over to them. "Lovi! come on! group hug!" he laughed as he was told to fuck off and to stop calling him lovi which he wasn't going to do any time soon. he was just so cute when he turns as red as a tomato! He blinked as Gilbert shrugged his arm off and looked at him as Francis removed his arm but smiled.

The prussian vampire gave his Spanish friend a stern look noticing his servant wasn't with him. "Antino. Vhere is matthew?" he watched as the brown hair vampire looked around suddenly. "He was just right next to me a few minutes ago. Hey Lovi have you seen Matthew?"

"I said not to call me that bastardo! But Matthew missing is not a good thing."

"oui I agree with Lovino. hey." Francis said as he sniffled the air. "Gilbert to do smell that awful smell?"

Gilbert sniffed the air and found the smell that the French vampire was talking about. he gritted his teeth. "how ze hell did one of zhose get on MIEN awesome island!?" he was furious and worried for his servant's safety. He glanced at his french friend when he put a hand on his arm and told him the only way that it could have gotten here.

"zhere's only one way mon ami. It had to have stolen away on your ship" after saying that the frenchman had to take a step back to allow the angry captain to let out his anger. He walked over to his spanish friend and his servant. He patted his friends shoulder "don't worry Antonio. it's not your fault just let 'im calm down. alright?" he smiled as the other nodded the patted his back. "good."

after taking his anger out by punching a near by tree the Prussian stood there for a minute to calm down before turning to the other three. "I"m going after Matthew. Antonio, you and Lovino go back and vatch over things vhile I'm gone. Francis keep up if you vish." Then without another word he took off into the thick forest following that awful sickly sent muttering. "please be alright matthew"

Matthew had been pretty much dragged by this guy through the forest for what seemed like forever before they reached a small cabin like place. he would have tried to break free and run away unsure of what was going to happen to him, but the pain he was getting from the tight grip this guy had on his arm told him that would be easier said then done. he whimpered a bit without trying too as he was forcefully thrown into the cabin landing hard on the floor. he sat up looking around the place….wait that smell….it couldn't really be his, could it? Before he could confirm the familiar scent that was all over this cabin his captor spoke to him only saying one thing.

"you have heats."

Matthew froze glancing up at the white haired man. his eyes widened as he now noticed how animal like his guy's face was. he now understood exactly what kind of danger he was in. he had heard of creature's like him but never actually encountered one before. This had to have been what's call a Rogue, creatures that have gone completely to theirs instincts and have no rational thought left in them. They were fueled only by their strong instincts. He gulped noticing the man was waiting for an answer. "w-well o-oui. I-I am. w-what about it?" he didn't like the sickening smirk that spread across the man's face.

Studying the other's face the blond noticed he actually use to know who this was. "N-Nickoli?" if this really was him now he really knew what had happened to him since that last time anyone had heard was that he had suddenly disappeared from Mast-, er I mean Ivan's castle. He shuddered in fear as the other just laughed grinning not even acknowledging his name.

Before the other could stop laughing the cat-like servant took off heading for the stairs. he ran up the stairs not daring to stop or look back afraid that the rogue creature was right behind him. he wouldn't be surprised if he was. he ran into the first room he could find quickly shutting the door behind him and locking it. he heard something hit the door and start banging against. he froze for a second before looking around the room noticing he was in a bedroom. he saw a window and ran over to it fubbling to unlock it and get it open. The moment he got the window open enough he could get out he heard the door break down behind him. he tried to get out the window but suddenly he felt his arm grabbed and was pulled roughly back into the room, he staggered back till he hit the edge of the bed falling back onto it. he blinked and looked around freezing when he saw the whited haired rouge grinning at him. he screamed and put his arms up as the other lunged at him. he winced feeling sharp teeth sink into his arm. trying to fight him off he struggled which only caused more damage to his arm from the others teeth. he suddenly hear the sound of clothes ripping realizing it was his own clothes.

He kicked and flailed trying to get his attacker off of him when suddenly his attacker was pulled away from him. he blinked and looked up seeing the rogue being shoved out by his master. he sat up hearing someone come in freezing as he was suddenly hugged. the noticed blode hair and the familiar scent. "p-papa!?" he felt the man hugging him nod and pulled back from the hug.

the young servant grinned seeing the familiar face of his old caretaker. his eyes started to water as the realization of what just happened slowly sunk in. he suddenly buried his face into Francis chest. "oh papa. I was so scared!" he let the tears fall laying his ears back against his head curling his tail around his waist.

Wrapping his arms around his, what he would like to call, son the french Vampire rubbed the younger ones head. "you did very good matthew. Don't worry you are safe now." he hummed trying to calm down the sacred little cat-like boy. hearing the sniffling stop he pulled back to looked at his son. he then noticed the blood. "Matthew your arm!" he quickly but gently grabbed Matthew's arm looking over the wounds that were there.

Sniffling the feline male watched as he wounds on his arm were looked over. he noticed his arm looked like a mess off deep scratches and blood. he whimpered a bit as the ripped fabric pieces of his sleeve were moved to see the wounds better. he was then told to stand up so Francis could look for any more wounds. doing as he was told and standing up he then remembered his clothes were being ripped and looked down at himself to see how badly they were. he noticed his shirt was almost torn in half only leave a small bit connected at the bottom. his pant's were torn in many places along his thighs but luckily nowhere else. he did notice there was blood coming from some of the ripped parts on his pants. he kept his ears laid back thinking he really did look like he was attacked by some wild animal. he looked up to ask his papa something but stopped noticing his master was standing the doorway staring at him. he noticed a shocked, hurt and pissed look covered the Captains face.

Once he noticed his servant was looking at him Gilbert stopped his scanning over him and turned around clearing his throat to get his friends attention. "come on let's get going. ve have to get him back home so his vounds can be properly looked at. Francis vhy don't you carry him. I don't zhink he should be valking in his condition." with that said he left gritting his teeth. he couldn't believe he let his servant get that injured. if only he had been there a few minutes earlier he could have prevented those injuries. if only he hadn't let Antonio watch his little servant and done it himself maybe this whole thing would have been avoided. But what's worse is… What if his servant never forgives him for letting this happen. he only just got this servant and he was already badly injured. As he arrived at the small pirate town of his he announced to everyone that he was going to his sleeping quarters and not to disturb him unless it was urgent.

Matthew allowed Francis to pick him up and carry him to the small little town. he looked around at the buildings they past surprised at how many there were. noticing they were being watched by the other Pirates the cat-like boy lowered his ears his shyness kicking in a bit. glancing around he noticed they were heading to a building that was bigger than the rest of them. he looked at his papa with a curious look.

Noticing the curious look he was given the french vampire chuckled. "This building in the main one. Me, Antonio, Gilbert and our servants all live 'ere when we are not out at sea." he smiled at the nod he got walking into the building. he walked up the stairs to the second floor then to where the spare bedroom was."this is your room Matthew" Walking inside he set the injured male on the bed. "I will be right back with new clothes and stuff to treat your wounds." with that said he turned and left the room.

as he waiting for his old parent figure to came back the cat-like male stood up removing his shirt and pants so it would be easier for his wounds to be tended too. he winced every time the fabric brushed against the wounds. once undressed he looked at the claw and bite marks on his left arm. he was glad they seemed to have stopped bleeding. he then looked at the wounds on his thighs noticing they were still bleeding but only slightly. holding his shirt and pant's in his hands he glanced around the room looking for a place for his bloody clothes. he was surprised on how big his new room was. his gaze landed on the closest door which was open with a few boxes that held some of his things in them. moved his gaze to another door in the room. curious he walked over to the door, opening it and looking inside. he blinked surprised to see a modern looking bathroom. he started to wonder if that meant they had actually running water here. usually only kingdoms and large towns had actual running water. he didn't expect that out here on an Island. then again he owners of this island were vampires. walking over to the sink he put his clothes there not wanting to damage anything with blood stains. he glanced up at the mirror cringing at his own reflection. he looked like he had gotten mauled by a wild animal. he blinked as a flash of his attacker came into his vision. he shook his head then curled his arms around his torso lowering his ears shivering. he quickly left the bathroom noticing Francis just entering the room.

Watching him set down the medical stuff Matthew ran over and hugged the older male once he was sure everything was put down. he buried his face into the others chest sobbing. the fear and realisation of everything that happened finally hit him. he felt arms wrap around him. once hand was rubbing his head while the other was rubbing his back. listening to the comforting voice of his Papa the neko started to calm down. Pulling back he looked at the french vampire wiping tears from his own violet eyes. "s-sorry papa" shaking his head Francis spoke softly to the sacred and scarred little cat. "non. Don't be sorry. it's alright to act zhis way after what you've been though. now let me tend to zhose wounds of yours" he turned and picked up a green paste.

Matthew watched him "what's that?"

"it's a blend of medical herbs found 'ere on zhis island. it works better zhen normal medicine. now hold out your arm. zhis will sting a little but I want you to 'old still okay?"

Nodding Matthew held out his arm and held as still as he could allowing the green paste to be spread onto his arm. he stiffened up held still as he felt the stinging that was said to happen. he closed his eyes laying ears back. he listened to him work ignoring the stinging pain as each wound was tended too. he opened his eyes when he felt bandages being put around his arm, chest and legs. once Francis was finished he was about to say something when the door suddenly swung open.

"Francis zhere's somezhing I need to discuss vith you und I need you too-" cutting himself off when he noticed His servant in nothing but his undergarments and bandages. he tore his gaze away from the neko boy turning to leave. "just see me vhen you're done Francis" he then left shutting the door behind him.

laying his ears back and looking at the ground Matthew didn't like the reaction if master had given him. he blinked when a hand was put on his shoulder. he glanced at his papa as he spoke to him "don't worry Matthew just leave him be. now I'll go get you some new clothes."

he nodded then watched the other head for the door he bit his lip before blurting out. "wait papa!"

stopping at the door Francis turned and looked at Matthew. "oui. what is it Matthew?"

"um I have to tell you something."

"I'm listening Matthew. you can tell me anything. what's wrong?"

Taking a deep breath the blonde neko blurted out very quickly. "You have to know that I went into heat for mast- er I mean Gill!" he watched the other's facial expression turn into one of shock. Gulping and laying ears back he asked "p-papa?"

Blinking back his initial shock the french vampire stared at his son. "i-is zhis really true?" he watched his son nod then gave him a happy smile. "oh Matthew! zhis is actually wonderful news! you will 'ave to tell me everything later. Wait does Gilbert know?" he watched him shrug then answer with "I tried to tell him but he got angry" Frowning the blond vampire nodded then told his son. "don't worry I'll talk with 'im. all you worry about is getting some rest. Now go lay down. I'll get your new clothes." he then turned and left the room leaving Matthew alone.

Turning and carefully crawling into the bed Matthew pulled the blankets over his head. he wondered what was going to happen and hopped everything with Gilbert would be settled. he close his eyes sniffling a bit soon falling asleep.
