A/N Here's another chapter! We're going to introduce anew character later. In this he is described to be Alec's friend, but is something more than that, which is revealed later on. ...No, not like that. Oh, and Alec has a nervous habit. Try to find it~
"I think we found you." Alice whispered to the meister. Brandon was speechless, and the girl then looked up to greet them.
"Hi, I'm Bria-why the hell are you wearing the same cloths as me?" she asked, noticing Brandon's outfit.
"Uh...uh..." the male began, trying to think of an excuse.
Alec chuckled. "To be honest, I knew she was here the whole time. We know eachother pretty well." The male Wendigo then stalked over to the girl. "So, how are the experiments goin'?"
"Pretty good. We're just running into some difficulties." she replied, turning her gaze back to the papers in front of her. "Who are your friends?"
"Their names are Alice and Brandon." Alec said. "Oh, and guess what! You're going to be stuck with TWO bloodthirsty, cannibalistic Wendigos now! Ain't that great~?" he grinned, yanking Alice toward him by her arm.
"Oh great, another one." Brianna said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She then glanced quickly at Brandon.
"You don't talk much, do you?"
"Yea, I do. I'm just kinda shy when I meet someone." he lied, rubbing the back of his head.
"Pfft, and people say I'M feminine!" Alec said, pointing at Brandon. "You don't wanna' be friends with him, Brianna, believe me." he said, then shoved Alice in front of him. "However, I'm sure you and Alice would be great friends."
"Uh, hi." Alice said, smiling a small smile.
"Hi." Brianna returned, smiling warmly. At that point, Alice couldn't think of anything to say. She just chuckled nervously.
"Eh, she's usually kind of a chatterbox." Alec said to Brianna, earning a half-hearted glare from Alice. Brandon then snapped to his attention and remembered his formalities.
"Hey, I'm Brandon." he said, wearing a small grin while offering a hand to shake.
"Hi, I'm Brianna." she returned, smiling while she shook his hand. She then returned her attention to her paperwork. "For some reason though, it feels that I've met you before." she said, trying to shake off the nagging feeling.
"Maybe you two are distantly related or somethin'." Alice lied. "Like me and Alec."
"Yep." Alec grumbled. "Dad just had to run off with some human bitch and leave me behind..." he lied. "Then Alice was born and THEN he decides it's a good time to die on me. Just great..."
"Seems that you're handling it well on your own." Brandon commented, straightening his back while looking at Alec.
Alec looked at Brandon. "I hate the bastard, but it was hard livin' on my own. Medusa only found me a couple years ago."
"And raised you since. I'm familiar." Brandon said apathetically. He then changed his soul wavelength so that it matched exactly with Alice's, so they could share thoughts as if Alice was in her weapon form. 'Should we tell Brianna?' he thought to his weapon.
'If we do we're gonna' have to wait for Eruka to leave.' Alice thought back. 'Only the four of us can know this.'
'I know." Brandon replied. Due to the duo's sudden silence and her endless curiosity, Brianna changed her wavelengthbtobmatch Brandon's, silently eavesdropping on the two's conversation.
'How are we gonna' tell 'er, though? We can't just say 'Hey, we're from a different dimension!' and expect her to believe us!' Alice thought back.
'Really?' Brianna thought, her curiosity breaking her secretiveness.
'Oh shit, when did she get in here?!' Brandon thought, turning his alarmed look to gaze at the female-him, starring at them, curiosity abundant in her eyes.
'WHAT THE HELL?!" Alice thought loudly, VERY loudly.
'Well shit, no covering it now.' Brandon thought, releasing a silent sigh. 'Alice?'
'Brandon is you from his dimension, and I'm Alec from my much more advanced dimension.' Alice thought to Brianna. 'Believe me, you DON'T wanna' live in my dimension.'
'Wait, he's me? So that's why you wear the same clothes I do.' the other girl thought, smirking a little at Brandon.
'Hey, at least we have a good taste for clothes.' Brandon thought, the two meisters chuckling silently.
'And you're just going to believe us?' Alice thought to Brianna apathetically. 'You and Brandon trust people too much.'
'Well, here's my test then.' she thought back smugly. 'Whats the difference between you and I and every other person in the world?'
'Our souls are both half consumed with insanity.' Brandin replied, a confident look on his face.
'Correct. See? There's my proof.' Brianna thought.
'What if I was lying about me?' Alice thought back. 'Both me and Alec are Wendigos, so even if I WAS from this dimension, we'd still be the same.'
'That is true...' both Brandon and Brianna thought at the same time.
'See? In my experience, trusting people gets you nowhere in life.' Alice thought. 'At least that's how it is in my dimension.'
'Well, our dimension is different. Most people are trustworthy.' Brianna thought back, thinking of the multitude of people she met.
'Everyone I've ever trusted has either betrayed me or died.' Alice thought back harshly.
Brandon suddenly grew very quiet at this comment, visibly sulking a little. Brianna noticed this and decided to ask.
'What happened?' she thought with a tone of concern.
'My dad is dead, the Lord Death from my dimension- known as 'Death the Kidd' here-tried to drown me and Brandon stabbed me in the stomach.' Alice thought to Brianna. 'Believe me, I'd rather be stabbed than drowned. Neither of which are very pleasant to experience.' Brianna grew a look of alarm and decided to take discinaplinary actions.
'WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!' she thought angrily at Brandon. 'You freaking stabbed her?!' Brandon, however, had sinker into a lulled state, being too ashamed and depressed to add to the conversation.
'At least he doesn't use me.' Alice thought. '...Like a certain idiotic reaper I know and hate.'
'First of all, because I pledged my loyalty to him I have to do anything he says whenever he says it-even if I don't want to. Kinda' like how Alec only obeys Medusa. He uses me for fighting and attack plans sometimes, but since he usually does things like that himself he mostly uses me for the little things-like cleaning and getting groceries.' Alice thought.
'Oh. I was thinking something else entirely.' Brandon thought. Brianna then strained to hold back some snickering, while Brandon chuckled silently to himself.
'Did I mention daily sexual harassment?'
Their cackling instantly stopped, and Brandon grew concerned. 'Thats what I was joking about...' he led off, becoming depressed once more.
'Eh, i'm one of the only three girl students in the school he hasn't fucked already.' Alice thought nonchalantly.
'Who are the other too?' the male and female thought together.
'Alright, we really need to stop doing that.' Brandon thought, giving a slight nod at Brianna.
'Maka, because Soul is his best friend and wants her for himself, and Tsubaki, because she stalks him and creeps him out half the time.'
'Tsubaki stalks him? When the hell did this happen?' Brandon thought, Brianna waiting eagerly for an answer.
'After he became Lord Death. I'm pretty sure she's just after his money. She actually tried to stab him once,' Alice thought. 'I'll die if he dies.'
'Why?' Brianna thought, Brandon now waiting on an answer.
'Because I don't have any iron in my blood, and I need to take an injection every two months. I took one before I got here. He's the only one that can get the injections, If he dies, I won't be able to get the blood the I need and I'll die.' Alice explained. 'It should be easy to get in the dimension, though. The blood-banks aren't as heavily guarded, so we can easily steal some blood.'
'Why have you never told me this before?' Brandon asked, the two's curiosity not faltering in the least.
'Didn't wan't anyone to worry.'
'But, we're partners. We're supposed to tell each other everything!' Brandon thought back.
'Wrong. We WERE partners.' Alice thought. 'Then you stabbed me.'
'I...' he began, but stopped.
'Why did he stab you?' Brianna thought, her curiosity persisting.
'He was so mad at Alec, his insanity took over and he lost control of himself.' Alice replied. 'I forgive him for it, but I can't be certain that it won't happen again.'
Brandon sunk into a depression over what he did, his posture sinking a little where he stood. Until he heard Brianna ask a question. 'He can do that too?'
'Yeah,' Alice thought back. 'You can, too? Oh Gott no...'
'I bet I have a better handle over my anger than he does.' Brianna thought with a smirk, nodding her head towards Brandon. Brandon saw this and sunk into a deeper depression.
Alice chuckled silently before she remembered something. 'Damn! We forgot to ask Alec where he got those swords from!'
'Good point.' Brandon thought, visibly perking up. "Hey Alec, where'd you get these swords?"
"Hm?" Alec asked lazily. "Oh, I got 'em from a friend of mine. A dragon Wendigo-"
"An Incubus?" Alice asked in disgust.
"Yes, an Incubus. He lives in Romania, his name is Lucian Dracul."
"A dragon, you say?" Brandon joked, intimidating an old timey adventurer's voice.
"Yes. But more commonly known as an Incubus." Alec paused. "You know what an Incubus is, right?"
"Yea. Brianna, do you know?" Brandon asked, turning to face his alternate self.
"Not a clue." she said, slightly embarrassed.
"I'll explain." Alec said. "There are a lot of legends about Incubi. An Incubus is a demon, or a dragon wendigo, that has sex with Women in their sleep. They can also invade dreams and drive people insane."
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Brandon and Brianna yelled at the same time.
"Who the fuck would bang chicks while they sleep?!" Brandon demanded, his face in one of disgust.
"These guys are messed up!" Brianna added, a look of shock and terror on her face.
"I know." Alec said. "Alice, you and Brianna CAN'T go see him under any circumstances unless me or Brandon go with you."
"I have a feeling one of them is going to blatantly ignore that, and will wake up being raped." Brandon said uneasily. Brianna then sent him a hot glare that proved his doubts wrong.
"Well, if I go with them he won't hurt them. He knows I could kick his ass in under a minute. He's weaker than I am. A LOT weaker." Alec said, completely serious. "I don't know if he'll try to hurt them or not with Brandon around, though..."
"I kicked your ass. I'm pretty sure I can kick his even quicker." Brandon replied completely seriously.
"Brandon you did that with insanity spikes when he was, like, fifty feet away from you." Alice said. "Wolf Wendigos are practically blind, there was no way he could have saw that coming! ...Literally." Alec nodded in agreement.
"So? I could still fuck this Incubus up." he said, his signature small grin growing on his lips.
"Most likely-" Alec got cut off.
"YES! You two agree on something else!" Alice cheered.
"On how badass I am? Yea, I think every one agrees on that." Brandon joked, chuckling to himself.
"Um, I only said you could beat up a pipsqueak about as strong as a mouse." Alec said. "For an Incubus, he's pretty damn young."
"Aw...that's no fun..." Brandon whined, obviously overacting.
"In fact," Alec continued, ignoring Brandon. "He's only a hundred years old. He looks like a twenty year old man, though."
Brandon then realized something crucial. "Shit, Eruka has been listening the whole time!" he exclaimed, turning to face the witch.
Alec pricked his ears. "...No, she's listening to Japanese music on her laptop." he said. "She's been doing that for the past twenty minutes."
"Oh." the male meister said, glancing at the witch who had her earbuds plugged into her laptop.
"You had me worried for a second." Brianna said, sighing in relief.
Alec shook his head in a disappointed fashion. "Ah, her and her Vocaloid. When will she learn that Anime and hentai aren't the most important things in life?" Brandon got a nosebleed at the mention of hentai, as did Brianna. "...Perverts."
"Sorry." the two apologized in union.
"Anyway..." Alec said, changing the subject. "As you know, the swords are made from Tekchnomalagois, which is the same material we need to make Magitechnology."
"Yea, but I thought only reapers could obtain it, since it was so deep underground." Brandon explained, listening intently for a response.
"Because Incubi are neither heat nor pressure sensitive, they can also obtain it easily." Alec explained.
"I didn't know that..." Alice replied.
"Anyway, here's the catch. Once the metal is forged into a weapon, it's indestructible and can't be melted down."
'Oh shit.' Brndon thought telepathically to Alice."Is there anyway to rearrange it into something else?" Brandin asked, keeping a poker face.
"No, but I think Lucian has some raw, pure Tekchnomalagois left." Alec said. "All we need to do is go to Romania and search for him. He goes by a different name, though."
"What is it?" Alice asked.
"His alias is 'Lucius Eden.' He works as a dragon tamer."
"Dragons? I thought they were things of legends." Brianna added, Brandon nodding in agreement.
"No. They're just rare." Alec said. "Every incubus has three dragons to acompany him. There aren't many Incubi left, thus not many dragons are left, either."
"Shit, if it comes to lit, does that mean I have to fight his dragons too?" Brandon asked, a small amount of dread in his voice.
"No. They're baby dragons and can't fight." Alec said. "And besides, if you give a good amount of money, he won't fight you at all."
"I have some fools' gold coins, will that work?" Alice asked.
"Only if they look like real gold."
"They do look like gold."
"Then he should take it."
"Good. I don't wanna have to wash dragon blood off of my shirt." Brandon said, dusting his overshirt.
"Dragons can't die unless the Incubus they belong to die as well."
"Well, kill the weed at the root as they say." Brianna said, deciding to add to the conversation.
Alec glared at Brianna. "Are you seriously considering killing my friend?"
"No, but if it came to it, it's always good to have a backup plan." she responded, shrugging.
"I'm keepin' an eye on you..."
"Hey, leave the girl alone." Brandon said, stepping between Alec and Brianna. "It never hurts to have protection in case shit goes south."
"I think she can handle me following her." Alec started. "When Medusa saw Brianna, she wanted me to 'secretly observe' her, A.K.A she wanted me to stalk her, and I always do what Medusa tells me to do."
"If you fucking stalk her..." Brandon growled, his eye beginning to glow red. "I will disembowel you and hang your intestines around my house like a Christmas decoration."
"Just try it." Alec taunted.
"Don't mind if I fucking do!" Brandon growled angrily, making claws appear on his hands. He then drew back one arm, but was caught in a death grip by Brianna.
"Calm down." she hissed, squeezing his arm harder.
"Ow, ok. Just let go." Brandon said, a tear of pain coming to his eye as he undid the claws. Brianna then let go.
Alec unsheathed his own claws, earning an angry glare from Alice. "What? It's just in case that dumbass tries to attack me again!"
"Fuck you!" Brandon spat, earning another death grab from Brianna.
"Stop it." she ordered.
Alec chuckled, but then Alice hit him in the back of the head with her frying pan, creating an impact crater. "...Ow." he murmured.
"Let go of my arm." Brandon said to Brianna, but she only tightened her grip.
"Do you promise to get along with Alec?" she asked, her grip tightening a little more.
"I'll try, but I'm not making any promises." Brandon said, another tear of pain coming to his eye.
"Fine." Brianna said, letting go of his arm, which he immediately began rubbing.
"Boys are such idiots." Alice scoffed.
"Agreed." Brianna said, pushing Brandon away from her. Alice chuckled at the gesture. Brandon stopped himself after the push, and looked back.
"What the hell was that for?" he asked, still a little pissed from earlier.
"Because I don't want you near me." Brianna responded plainly, turning her attention back to the paperwork in front of her.
Alice pulled her counterpart out of the small impact crater. "So, when we goin' to Romania?"
"Next week..." Alec replied groggily.
"Thank you~!" Alice said, before dropping him.
"...Ow."
"Oh? I've never been to Romania." Brianna said. Brandon also nodded in agreement.
"It's pretty nice there." Alec said.
"So, does this Lucian guy have any assistants?" Alice asked.
"Yeah." Alec replied. "A Bat Wendigo named Fletch."
"A Vampyr?"
"Yes."
"You're shittin' me."
"I shit you not."
"A Vampyr. Let me guess, they live in Transylvania?"
"Yep."
"..."
"Goddammit, I fucking hate vampyrs!" Brandon exclaimed. Brianna looked at him with a confused look.
"They're European vampires."
"Oh, that's not good." the girl replied, a look of worry on her face.
"It's OK." Alec reassured. "Fletch is just a kid~! Oh, wait... I haven't seen them in eighty years, which means his fangs must have grown out by now... And that would make Lucian one hundred eighty years old..."
"Are you really that freakin retarded?!" Brandon exclaimed, now pissed again. Brianna would've stopped him if she wasn't a little ticked off herself.
"Sorry, I go by Wendigo years." Alec replied.
"Me too," Alice said. "Wait, Alec, how old are we in human years?"
"Two-hundred and... eighty-seven? Yeah, two-hundred eight-seven~."
"..." Both Brianna and Brandon's jaw dropped when Alec said that.
"You were alive for the freakin revolution!" Brandon exclaimed, thinking back on the years.
"Try livin' through World War Two." Alice said.
"Bet that was hell in Germany." Brandon remarked.
"It was." Alec said, grabbing his arm. "I still have the scars from when a British soldier thought I was a Nazi... Eh..."
"Oh Christ, I'm so sorry..." Brandon apologized, realizing the joke he made was a terrible one.
"Eh, it's OK." Alec said, though it was evident that even mentioning the war scared the hell out of him.
"Should we unpack?" Brandon asked quickly, attempting to change the subject.
"Sure." Alec replied in a shaky voice.
"Ok." the meister replied, then turning to Brianna. "How many spare rooms do you have in here?"
"We have one extra that Alice and Alec can share." the girl replied, pointing towards a closed door.
"That sounds OK," Alice said. "But where will Brandon sleep? With you?"
"Uh..." Brianna started, glancing towards Brandon. He shrugged with a look of 'I don't really care'.
"Yea, I guess." she finished, somewhat dreading the night to come. Alec chuckled pervertedly, making Alice slap him in the back of the head. Brandon and Brianna both laughed at this, earning a hiss from the male Wendigo.
He perked up when he thought of another comeback. "C'Mon, we all know how pervy Brandon can be! I Wouldn't put it past him to fuck himself."
"I would be surprised if you raped Alice every night while she was asleep, like your fucked up Incubus friends!" Brandon growled back, getting extremely angry.
"Um.. one, that's freaking disgusting, considering she's me, and two, because of our Insomnia, Wolf Wendigos are very light sleepers."
"Who knows? You fucking stalk people, so who knows if you drug them or not too?!" Brandon shot back, becoming more enfuriated that his initial insult failed.
"Dru"Maybe you steal them? You say your not a virgin, and nobody would willingly fuck you, so drugs have to be the only possible answer!" Brandon explained angrily, somewhat satisfied that his second insult worked a little them? Where the hell would I get drugs? I don't have any money."
"I have more virtues than a rapist." Alec replied, unamused.
"Doubtful." Brandon replied bitterly.
"Alright, would both of you stop your fucking bitching?!" Brianna demanded, pissed off by their quickly escalating disagreement.
"Please." Alice agreed, then muttered. "Me and Brianna are the only the only two here with any common sense." Brandon reluctantly calmed down, breathing slowly and deeply to soothe his anger. Alec just unsheathed and re-sheathed his claws over and over again in an attempt to reduce his own anger.
"Jesus Christ, you two bicker like and old married couple. Just get on to the make up sex, would ya?" Brianna deadpanned. Alec looked at her with a disgusted expression.
Brandon wore one of shock. "Why the hell is everyone trying to get us into yaoi?!" Alice burst out laughing.
"Because, since you hate each other's guts, it makes it so much better." Brianna explained, a small yet very sadistic smile upon her lips.
"Hehe, I just think Yaoi is hilarious." Alice said.
"That too." Brianna agreed, as Brandon backed up slowly from the female him.
"Maybe I should cut my hair to look like Alec..." Alice said with a smirk. "Brandon wouldn't be able to tell the difference between us then. So if he tries to kiss me, he might end up kissing Alec." Alec just gaped at his counterpart.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Brandon demanded, gaping at his former partner while Brianna laughed hysterically. Alice's response was to unsheath one of her claws.
"Don't!" Alec said, only to be ignored. Alice raised her hand to her hair and cut it so that she looked just like Alec.
"Goddammit!" Brandon exclaimed, looking back and forth between the two, loosing track of who's who.
"Can you tell who is who?" Alice asked.
"Um...Alice?" he asked, pointing at one of the indentical kishins.
"I'm Alec~!" Alice lied.
"But I'M Alec!" Alec replied.
"No, she's lying."
"No I'm not, and Im a boy!"
"Jesus Christ, I'm gonna have to make you wear name tags." Brandon said, rubbing his head in a futile attempt to fight off an oncoming headache.
"We'd just switch them," One of the Wendigos-most likely Alice-replied.
"Godammit..." Brandon sighed, knowing he was beat. Brianna however, was having trouble controlling her laughter.
"Laugh while you can, Bree," Alec said. "But soon, I will have my revenge." he then proceded to walk to the spare bedroom.
She instantly stopped laughing,band called out after him. "What the hell does that mean?!"
His reply was a short chuckle, before he walked into the room and fell asleep on the single bed. "Eh, I'm goin' to bed, too! G'Night." Alice called, walking into the bedroom, changing into her pajamas falling asleep next to Alec.
"Well, I guess we should call it a night too." Brandon said as he rolled his suitcase into the room and fell asleep on the bed, Brianna quickly following, passing out when her head hit the pillow.
