Monday~! Okay, so... Don't hate us... Please? Also, next week's update will be late. I won't have internet access because I have to go to camp from this Saturday to next Saturday. If I can show my mama how to use this, I will ask her to update for me but if their isn't an update, it means that she couldn't figure it out :3
Lovino's mouth opened and closed as he tried to find his words. Finally, he said, "W-What the hell are you saying dammit?! We only fucking MET a month ago! A-And it's not like you can fucking change that fact! I'm NOT a damn vampire too in case you didn't notice that already!"
Antonio sighed. "I know. I know. But I can't help it. Being around you makes me happy. Much happier than I have been for a long time. I wish there was a way to make it so all of you guys could stop aging, or I could start again."
"….." was Lovino's reply as he stood up and started walking out of the room. "I need to finish the damn laundry."
Antonio nodded and watched the floor. "Right. I'll... I'll wait here," he said.
Feliciano shifted and pulled out of the hug, reaching around the swing and taking Ludwig's hand. "Let's walk around the lake," he said softly, leading the German towards the trail.
"Ja… Let's go," Ludwig said with a small nod and let himself be led to the lake.
Feliciano didn't drop his hold on Ludwig's hand once. As they walked, neither spoke, simply enjoying the nice weather and beautiful park, silently enjoying each others company.
After they had walked around the trail a few times, they stopped at one of the tables. They didn't see the couple that had been following behind them separate and move to different spots around them. One rolled into the bushes and the other climbed up the tree above them, watching them intensely.
Ludwig, however, was still having the feeling that the two of them were being watched, although for the moment decided to keep an eye out and not tell Feliciano just yet.
But what they had all seemed to have forgotten was that Feliciano was part wolf. Meaning that he had smelled the couple following them quiet a while ago and knew exactly where they currently were. He leaned over and wrapped his arms around Ludwig's neck. "Luddy," he breath, barely moving his lips. "We're being followed." If he focused, he could see the shifting form of one of the pair in the bushes.
"Ja… I noticed it too," Ludwig said back, also barely moving his lips. "We'll give it a bit then we'll work on trying to lose them."
"Alright. We can't go back to the house until they're gone. I don't want them to find Lovi," Feliciano said. Then a bright smile formed on his face and he moved back. "Veh~! Luddy~! Let's go get some gelato~!" he chirped, pulling the vampire from the bench and starting off. His sensitive ears heard the rustling leaves in the bush and the soft thump of the person in the tree landing on the ground.
They walked towards a stand across from the park, standing with their backs to their followers. As Feliciano pretended to look over the flavors, his ears twitched slightly, listening to the movements of the couple.
"Have you decided what you want? I'll pay for it I guess," Ludwig asked as he looked at Feliciano but still kept his ears peeled so he could hear the people behind them.
"Si. I think I would like..." he began. When the couple was close enough, he spun around and grabbed their arms. "Hunter~." Before the two could react, Feliciano hauled the two onto either shoulder and jumped over the stand, running into the woods.
After a while, Lovino walked back into the room and past Antonio. "Can you bastards eat normal food? I have to start cooking for supper because I'm the only damn one in the house right now. Nonno's at work and I have no fucking clue where the hell Feliciano is."
"I don't know. I don't think so. At least we don't feel the need to eat. That's probably one of the few things I miss. Eating. Tomatoes and churros and paella and a bunch of other delicious things," Antonio said thoughtfully, following the Italian into the kitchen.
Lovino grabbed a tomato and held it out. "Well…. You want to try bastard? It's not like it can hurt at all."
"True," Antonio said. He took the tomato and held it, just starring.
Lovino stood and watched him. "Well? You SAID you liked tomatoes, dammit. So try it already."
Antonio nodded and brought the fruit to his lips then sunk his teeth into it's soft skin, chewing the piece he pulled off.
Lovino continued to watch. After a second he blinked and asked, "Well…. You going to say anything bastard?"
The Spaniard began to cry.
Lovino jumped back, completely startled. "W-What the hell are you crying for bastard?!"
"I-It's been so long since I've eaten anything... I'd forgotten how good these are..." Antonio said, wiping his eyes and taking another bite, a huge smile on his face.
"O-Oh…." Lovino muttered and looked away. "But… bastard? As a heads up, me and Feliciano are going to transform again tonight…. We always have to be careful the day after too because it's easy as hell to lose it and change."
"Really? Huh. There's so much I don't know about you guys," Antonio said. "Why do you change the day after to?"
"How the hell should I know that, dammit? That's just how it is. The only damn good thing about it is that we don't get sick during the day and we're still ourselves mentally at night." Lovino shrugged. Then he snapped his head up and looked out the window. "Something's wrong with Feliciano," He said then took off out the door and to the park, Antonio right behind him.
When he was far enough in, Feliciano threw the two down at the base of a tree and his eyes opened. They had turned gold and he narrowed them at the couple, barring his teeth. "What do you want here?" he demanded with a growl.
Ludwig walked up behind Feliciano and glared down at the two. "You heard him. Answer the question right now."
The man glared back. "We don't take orders from animals," he spat. The woman scoffed at them haughtily.
Feliciano's eyes flashed and he took a step forward, his nails beginning to sharpen.
Ludwig put his hand on Feliciano's shoulder and held him back. "I suggest you refrain from calling him that," He said coldly as his glared darkened a bit. "Now tell me why you've been following us for the past half hour."
Feliciano growled but allowed Ludwig to stop him.
"Why call it anything but what it is?" the woman said. "A evil, demon, dog that shouldn't be alive. It would be best to put it out of it's misery and kill it." She smirked up at him, her eyes triumphant. "You and your disgusting brother."
Feliciano snapped. Before Ludwig could stop him, his eyes turned pure gold and he instantly shifted into his wolf form, his clothes tearing to shreds and fluttering to the ground as he sprang forward and grabbed the woman's neck in his teeth, shaking her ruffly back and forth until a loud crack was heard and her body fell limply to the ground, stone dead.
The man's eyes widened in horror. "Y-You! You killed her! You killed my wife!" he yelled, charging towards him.
Feliciano whipped around and grabbed his arm in his teeth, biting down and crushing the bone into hundreds of pieces before tearing the limb from his body, leaving the man on the ground screaming in pain.
"!" Ludwig quickly rushed forward and pulled Feliciano back. "Feliciano! Stop this! They're not worth it!"
Feliciano threw back his head and howled, struggling to get at the man and finish him off, his eyes blazing with fury.
A few moments later, Lovino burst out of the bushes and tackled Feliciano to the ground. "Feliciano! Stop this shit right this fucking second!" He shouted as he pinned the wolf down with his arms.
Instantly, Feliciano whined and flattened his ears, pressing his belly to the ground and he stopped struggling. He whimpered softly, the sound covered by the man's screaming.
Antonio appeared a moment later, stopping beside Ludwig. His eyes widened as he took in the clearing. "L-Ludwig... What happened?" he asked.
Ludwig turned his head away from the two brothers to look at Antonio. "Feliciano… Feliciano attacked someone. I'm not sure what these people are doing here, but they taunted him and made him mad. He killed the woman and ripped the man's arm off."
"I-I see," Antonio said as he watched the man. "We can't let him go now, Ludwig. He'll tell someone they're here and they'll get hurt."
Ludwig nodded and sighed. "Ja….. I know…"
Lovino got to his feet and glared down at the wolf. "What did I fucking tell you?" He asked, his voice thick with authority as his own eyes glowed gold. "You're going to go home with me RIGHT this damn second. And no fucking detours. You got it?"
Feliciano whimpered again and and pressed himself further to the ground, looking up at Lovino in fear.
"Stay here," Lovino said then walked up to the bleeding man and pinned him down his this foot. "What the fuck did you do to my brother?! Answer me right now you asshole!" He spat while his gold eyes glowed coldly.
The man glared up in pure hatred at Lovino. "Disgusting dog! How dare you touch me!? My beautiful wife! He killed her! We would have put you out of your misery gently! You things shouldn't be here in the first place! But now we will kill you! We will destroy your families and kill everyone you have ever seen!" he screamed.
Lovino's glare darkened and his eyes glowed more. "Oh really….. I think the TRUE fucking monster is you. You're the one who fucking attacked someone out in broad daylight. Kill our family and everyone we met? Only a REAL damn monster would say that." Then in the next second Lovino shifted into his wolf form and bit down on the man's throat, only letting go after hearing the loud crunch and the man fall limp.
Feliciano hadn't moved and he was trembling as he whimpered softly.
Antonio watched with wide eyes, with Ludwig also doing the same.
Lovino turned with blood still dripping off his muzzle and walked over to Feliciano, growling something to his brother before he turned and started walking off back to the direction of the house.
Feliciano pushed himself onto his feet and slunk after the elder twin, the vampires following after the wolves.
"Er…. What was that just now….?" Ludwig whispered to Antonio.
"I-I'm not sure," Antonio answered.
When they reached the house, Lovino walked up the stairs and to his room then shut the door with his paw.
Feliciano whimpered once more before falling silent and creeping into the living, staying low to the floor.
Ludwig walked over and placed his hand on Feliciano's shoulder. "Feliciano….? Are you alright….?"
A few minutes later, Lovino's door opened and a newly clothed and human Lovino walked out and back downstairs.
The moment his eyes landed on him, Feliciano jumped up and ran to his brother, stopping in front of him and laying low to the ground, whimpering.
"Lovi... How did you change back...?" Antonio asked.
Lovino shrugged. "It's still day bastard. It's not night yet." Then he walked over to Feliciano and knelt down in front of him. "Feli?"
Feliciano whimpered and looked up at Lovino in fear, his ears pressed flat against his head.
Lovino bit his lip and gently rubbed the side of Feliciano's head. "Mi dispiace….. I didn't mean to do that before…. Don't be scared dammit…."
Feliciano pressed his head into Lovino's hand and whimpered once more. He lightly licked his brother's hand and curled up, no longer trembling.
Lovino kept rubbing Feliciano's head. "Hey dumbass…..?" He said gently. "You hungry? Want some pasta?"
The wolf looked up at him with golden eyes filled with hope but also hesitation. He growled softly.
Lovino smiled a tiny bit and rubbed Feliciano's head one last time before he stood back up. "Bouno. But let's hurry up before night falls. Can't cook if we BOTH have paws sì?" He said then walked into the kitchen.
Antonio followed the Italian into the kitchen while Feliciano went into the living room and curled up on the couch.
"Lovi..." Antonio said softly. "What happened to you two...? Out in the woods..."
Lovino stopped what he was doing then blinked and stared at Antonio confused. "What are you talking about bastard?"
"Why did Feli look so... scared when you came into the clearing? How did you get him to listen to you when he was freaking out?" Antonio clarified.
Lovino looked down and stared at the bowl he was using. "Because…. I'm the alpha….. He HAS to listen to me… and it's why he looked so damn scared too…."
"The alpha? Like the leader? The one in charge?" Antonio asked.
Lovino slowly nodded, still not looking up. "Sì… I was bit first…" He mumbled and rubbed his shoulder where the bite mark still was.
Antonio silent moved behind him and turned the Italian around. "Lovi..." he said softly, then pulled the werewolf into a gentle hug.
Lovino's face flushed and he quickly shoved the vampire away. "D-Don't do that bastard! A-And dammit you! You've been here the whole damn day! Go home already! ALL of you vampire bastards!"
Antonio sighed and nodded reluctantly. "Alright. We'll see you guys Monday," he said. He pressed a kiss to the Italian's forehead then left, getting Ludwig and leaving the house to find Gilbert and Francis.
Lovino sputtered and long kept rubbing his forehead after Antonio left. "D-Damn bastard! W-Why the hell did he do that for?!"
Feliciano padded into the kitchen and sat down, tilting his head to the side and whining softly at his twin.
Lovino quickly stopped and went back to what he was going to do. "It's nothing dumbass, don't worry about. Keep an eye out for the damn moon for me while I cook will you? I don't want to leave anything on the whole damn night or have my shirt rip again."
Feliciano blinked at him then stood and went back into the living room, nosing the curtain aside so he could see if the moon was rising.
Lovino sighed to himself and continued to cook. "Dammit….. Why did that bastard do that anyway…..?" He muttered to himself.
An hour later, after the brothers had eaten and Romulus had said good bye (he had to go survey a plot of land for a house), Feliciano gave the signal that the moon was rising, giving Lovino time to put away his clothes and make sure the door was unlocked before changing.
Feliciano waited by the door, eager to go hunting after the stressful events of the the day.
A few minutes later, Lovino's door clicked open and Lovino in his wolf form walked out and accidentally bumped into Feliciano, causing him to growl a little.
Feliciano instantly lowered himself to the floor and whimpered, scared he had done something wrong once more.
Lovino tilted his head to the side and blinked before giving Feliciano's head a quick lick and walking off down the hall to the stairs.
Realizing he wasn't in trouble, Feliciano's eyes brightened and he scampered after his twin excitedly. When he got onto the bottom floor, however, he froze. Something was wrong. Why had all the insects gone silent? Why was everything so quiet? Was that footsteps? Maybe one of the guys had forgotten something? But no. It didn't smell like them. It smelled like a human but... something else as well... Something he couldn't recognized but felt he should.
Lovino's yelp broke his thoughts and he ran into the living room, skidding to a stop at the sight before him. Lovino was being held down by strange men, holding something glittery. It was also the thing that had smelled weird. What was it? The person held it against Lovino's neck, giving him a clear view. A silver knife.
Feliciano howled, and charged, smashing into the one pressing down on his brother's back, knocking him off. Before he could attack again, another stranger landed on him, knocking the wind out of him long enough to have a muzzle strapped around his face. He struggled and fought but to no avail.
Lovino jumped free with a snarl then howled as he launched himself at the one holding his brother down, only to have a muzzle forced onto his own face and a collar and a leash forced around his throat, causing him to freak out and struggle.
Feliciano was about to try and fight again when a white hot pain entered his shoulder. Before he could little more than whimper, he fell to the ground, unconscious. The man who stood behind Feliciano held up a syringe filled with a bright orange liquid and silver needle. He ran over and stabbed it into Lovino's shoulder, knocking the elder wolf out as well. The brothers were then tied up and carried out of the house. There, they were placed in the back of a truck and the attackers piled in before escaping into the night.
The one driving turned to his companions and simply smirked then drove on with the brothers in the back, still unconscious and curled up next to each other.
