Louis's POV:
"Hey!" I shouted and then snarled as I looked at the rat on my ship. "You've been stealing the bread, you little rat!" I snarled and went after it, hissing as it squeaked and dropped the large lump of cheese in its hand and took off running. "I'LL CATCH YOU!"
"M-Master Louis," I heard Terry whisper from near the mast of the ship, brushing his short brown wavy hair behind his ear as he blushed. "Don't chase rats."
"IT'S GOING TO EAT ALL THE DAMN FOOD," I hissed and stepped on its tail.
"Don't hurt it!" He cried out and rushed forward. "It just wants to live too!" Edmund suddenly grabbed it and tossed it over the side of the ship and whipped his hands on his shirt.
"Filthy," he grumbled. "I'm going to take a year's bath when we get home."
"You... you killed it!" Terry said and widened his eyes, rushing over to the side of the ship. "It'll drown!" I frowned as I watched him then pulled him back from the side of the ship.
"Terry, it's just a rat. Besides, we're not that far off the coast. It'll find it's way there," I told him and rubbed his head. "We can't save every rat that shows up on our ship, and we can't very well drink from them either."
"We're not saving any of them," Edmund said quickly. "They carry disease and they make us look poor. You're not going to interfere with us exterminating them." He walked over and kissed Terry's cheek. "Rat lover."
"I-I'm not a rat lover! I just... I don't want you killing them!" He said and blushed, shrinking against my chest as he watched Edmund. "You're cruel to them."
"I am not. Rats are low scum and I'm not going to save them just because you shed a tear over them. You know... You're very innocent." He smirked and exposed his fangs. "Do you want our men to get sick from them and die?" Terry slowly started to shake his head no as his eyes locked onto his fangs and he gripped my arm that was around him tightly.
"Good~" Edmund smirked as he looked towards me. "You better not go touching them either... I don't want you getting sick. Let me take care of them."
"I'm immortal. I don't get sick from petty rats," I said and exposed my fangs back at him before I smirked. Terry yelped and started to squirm as he eyed both our fangs over.
"Oh~ Alright then... You can throw the next thousand off since I'm fine with never encountering another again. Filth," he grumbled and walked off- eyeing over another one of my crew mates. "You're not tying that right...." He warned and leaned in towards the male's neck. "As punishment," he said in amusement and bit him. I felt Terry relax a little as he watched Edmund then started to purr as he innocently rubbed his head against my chest. I laughed and ran my fingers through his soft hair as I watched Edmund.
"No killing, my sweet Edmund," I called out towards him. "We still need crew members." Edmund purred as he pulled back from the member and licked his lips.
"You're lucky," he purred to his prey.
"Good boy," I purred out at him then smirked as I kissed the top of Terry's head, making my little Terry giggle before he wrapped his arms around my neck. I watched him then looked at Edmund. "You're still throwing the rats overboard. I have no interest in touching them unless it's to kick them off with my boot." He laughed and looked towards me.
"Fine~ but you owe me Terry~" He teased him.
"What?! I don't owe you anything," Terry said and looked towards him quickly with a frown. "I didn't ask you to do anything."
"You owe me because you were so difficult... You'll have to throw the next one off that I catch."
"No," Terry hissed and clung to me. "I won't, rat killer!"
"They swim," he said in a teasing tone. "If not… we're feeding the fishes."
"I don't care about the fishes! They can eat each other and eat seaweed!" Terry said and blushed. "What if you were a rat? Would you like it if we threw you into the water to be fish food?"
"Yes... I would hate myself if I was a rat," he said calmly. "You'd be doing me a favor. Hopefully I'd get to come back as a cat to chase rats and mice."
"Grrrr, I don't owe you," Terry grumbled. "You can take your fangs and bite the mast."
"I'll bite whatever and whoever I want," Edmund growled playfully. "I'm going to feast on a whole town- the next one we come across and then I'll set their rats on fire." Terry exposed his smaller fangs then took off after Edmund.
"I won't let you!" He said and tried to intimidate him as he got closer, but there's no way that would have worked. Terry is at least three inches shorter than Edmund, and he's not as strong looking either. Even the spray of freckles across his nose makes it hard to think of Terry as a threat. Edmund busted out laughing as he watched him before he exposed his fangs.
"Oh yeah?" Edmund asked. "What do you think you're going to do about it?" Terry blushed as he looked at Edmund's fangs but ripped his eyes away from them to look at Edmund.
"I'll... I'll bite you!" He said and went for Edmund quickly, grabbing him by the front of his shirt. "I'll show you I'm not puny."
"Your bites are pleasurable," Edmund purred out in amusement and exposed his neck. "Bite me~!" Terry's eyes widened and he started to stammer in a cute way, getting flustered as he looked towards Edmund's neck hungrily. "What are you waiting for? Go on~" He blushed and leaned in, biting in as he tightened his grip on Edmund's shirt. Edmund purred as he looked towards me and gave a smirk. "Master~!" He called out. I laughed and walked towards them, slipping my hands into my pockets.
"What? I'm not going to punish Terry for using his fangs on you," I teased him.
"I wasn't expecting you to~ He's biting me anyways like I wanted... He's biting me and not you~" He said in a teasing tone. I tsked then as I got what he was doing then walked up and grabbed him by the collar, ripping him from Terry's grip and brought him over to the side to give him a fright. He gasped and eyed me over in joy.
"Master~ Thank you for the thought of giving me a bath- a salt bath~!"
"Edmund," I grumbled. I tossed him to the floor then got a rope before I tied it around his waist then kicked him overboard lightly, watching as he fell and grabbed the end of the rope on the ship when I heard a splash. He surfaced quickly and spat out the water.
"Master," he grumbled back.
"Edmund," I muttered, watching him before I smirked down at him. He smirked up at me and started to swim against the current.
"This water feels wonderful!" He told me.
"Good~ Tug on the rope when you start to weaken," I called out and tied his rope to the railing on the ship. He laughed and went under the water then. "DON'T UNTIE IT!" I called out quickly, getting a little worried as I watched the water for him. I can't have my newborn lost at sea.... After a few minutes, he surfaced with a fish in his jaws as he let out a predatory growl. "Oh, my hellhounds," I purred out and then shook my head. Terry came up to my side as he licked his lips and frowned.
"Did he just catch that fish in his-"
"Yes," I told him then rubbed his head. "See, you behave. You're the good one around here." He threw the fish up onto the boat then.
"I caught dinner!" He yelled and went back under the water.
"Little does he know he's the dinner," I teased Terry and smirked as he blushed and looked at me.
"M-Master... are you upset that I bit him-"
"No, not at all... but he needs to stop being a little tease," I hummed out lightly. "It's fun and all, but he's going to find himself in the freezing waters at night if he tries to make me jealous again." I heard Edmund chuckle from in the water below as he heard us and tugged on the rope.
"I want upsies," he told me.
"Hmmm... you know how to climb," I said and waved him off. He smirked and was by me in seconds as he pulled the rope off and gave it to me. He walked over to the fish he caught and picked it up. I laughed as I watched him then walked up behind him before I exposed my fangs and bit into him, giving him a taste of my sharper, longer fangs. He let out a gasp and melted into my arms and gave a purr.
"Yes~ Master," he purred out. I moaned as I got a taste then felt the world start to tilt before we hit the deck quickly with me on top as I sunk my fangs in deeper, my venom entering his veins. I could sense it spreading throughout his body like a wildfire in a forest as I drank his blood, moving my fangs into his skin as much as I could. He let out a moan and wrapped his arms around me quickly. "Oh~" He purred out and smirked. "Master~" He purred out. I pulled my fangs out slowly and looked down at him as I licked my lips clean and locked onto his eyes. He sounds so pleased by this. He smirked and pulled me closer. "Let's go take this out of the views of innocent children," he suggested. Did he just... I watched him then smirked.
"Alright," I whispered in his ear. "Get in the captain's quarters~" He smirked and eyed me over before he grabbed my shirt collar and started to tug me towards my quarters.
"Where are you two going?" Terry asked, watching us with a frown.
"Don't worry about it, Terry~ Go play cards with some of the people off duty," I suggested to him then followed Edmund into my quarters, shutting the door behind me with my foot then locked the door as I leaned against it. He smirked and leaned up against me then as his lips lingered just above mine before he gave a smirk and kissed me softly. I kissed him back, testing it out as I kept it slow. His fingers trailed over my body before he pulled back and started to take my jacket off first then my shirt. I watched him then purred as I eyed him over with a teasing look as I moved my hands down his sides. "Edmund~" I purred out and chuckled. He purred towards me before he quickly leaned into my neck and bit down into me and marked me as quick as he could- as if he was scared, I would shove him off before he could do it. I gasped then moaned sharply, gripping his shirt tightly as I felt a shiver go through me from the pleasure. My knees almost gave out and I slumped against the door, starting to slide down it. He picked me up into his arms quickly and forced my legs around him as he pulled away from my neck and brought me over to my bed. He laid me down in it slowly and took his shirt off before climbing in with me and let out a playful growl. I smirked as I watched him then exposed my fangs to mess with him, making room in the bed for him. He slowly moved over me and leaned in for another kiss- pressing his lips against mine passionately. I moaned and wrapped my arms around his neck, starting to kiss him back as I tilted my head and closed my eyes. Whoa~ He really seems to want this~ He smirked against my lips and parted from mine as he started to kiss down to my neck and bit back down into it- marking me again. I gasped and felt my fingers curl into his hair as I kept my arms around his neck, a moan escaping me as I tilted my head back instinctively. He let out a playful growl as he pulled away from my neck and eyed me over.
"What's my name?" He asked. I widened my eyes slightly then purred at him.
"Eddy~" I hummed out at him and smirked.
"Eddy?" He asked and chuckled. "That's not right..." He trailed off and smirked. "I'll make you remember it after tonight~" He eyed me over as he sat up and started to slip his pants off his legs- taking his underwear with it.
"Whoa," I said and watched him. "That's brave..."
"Brave? I'm going all the way~" He told me in a daring tone. "Lay back and enjoy it."
"I'm your master," I purred out and eyed his body over before I looked towards his lips. Damn it, he needs to give me another kiss or else I'm going to get on top and that'll be the end of any idea of him being on top. He eyed me over and smirked.
"Craving me?" He asked as he licked his lips and leaned down- giving me a soft kiss. I growled against his lips to mess with him and kissed him back eagerly, parting my lips slightly as I tilted my head. My sweet Edmund~ He pushed his fingers between our lips and pulled back.
"Patience.... is virtue," he told me sweetly and sat back up as he yanked my pants down. I frowned at him and went to sit up. He smirked and shoved me back down and tsked. "Patience," he told me. He got off my pants and threw them at the door.
"You could at least give me kisses," I muttered as I watched him.
"In a minute," he promised me as he smirked viciously and grabbed my underwear and started to slide it down. "You'll be begging me." I smacked his hand playfully then growled.
"I don't beg."
"You will for me," he sung out and yanked them down quickly and right off my feet. He tossed it and smirked as he moved in between my legs and wrapped me up in his arms as our bodies touched- rubbing together by his slight movements. His teasing movements. He leaned in and gave me a small kiss just next to my lips. I gasped a little and tilted my head for a kiss, feeling my body getting a little warm as I wrapped my arms around his neck. His hands traveled down my body before he wrapped his hands around my butt firmly and squeezed it. He gave a playful laugh as he leaned in towards my neck and kissed it. He started to rock his hips against mine then as he bit down into my neck once more and marked me. I moaned sharply and arched my back as I squirmed a little under him and felt my fangs sharpening. He laughed against my neck and kissed up to my ear. "Why are you moving so much?" He asked curiously. "Are you uncomfortable?" I felt my face heat up before I tilted my head and stole a kiss from him. He purred and deepened the kiss- pushing his tongue into my mouth and stole mine quickly before I had a fighting chance. He started to suck on it hard as he grinded just as much into me. I moaned and felt myself getting aroused at it as I moved one of my legs up a little more and gripped his hair, pressing against his lips eagerly. I could taste the sea and fish in his mouth as his tongue wrapped around mine. His hair was soaking wet still and little droplets of water was falling on me. His body was still wet- making it easy to move against mine. He pulled back to let me catch my breath- taking the time for him to as well as he continued moving our bodies together in a dance against the rocking of the ship. I moaned and kissed his neck before I started to move with him, testing it out as I grinded up against him and scrapped my fangs against his neck. He let out a gasp and gave a small laugh as he rocked against my body more. "Aren't you getting.... the moves of it," he teased me and leaned in for another kiss before I could bite him. I kissed him then licked his bottom lip as I moaned again then bit into his lip lightly, marking him there. He let out a gasp and pulled his lips away from mine sharply and gave me a pleased look. "Master~ I thought you'd want to be on top since you talk so big~ But you're more fun on the bottom."
"I could always shove you into the floor and get on you," I warned him.
"The floor would hurt my back," he said and smirked. "You'd like that though~ Making me uncomfy to tease me even more- especially if you gave me one of your looks."
"You talk like you don't like top," I teased him then threw my weight against him to mess with him. He held me down and smirked.
"I'm enjoying top~ You stay down there." I tsked a little then went for a kiss.
"Then give me a kiss," I told him then pressed mine up against his as I moved one of my legs around his hips, pulling him closer to me as I trailed my hands down his spine, letting them explore from his neck. He gave a small moan and deepened the kiss before he pulled back and leaned in towards my ear.
"Patience might be virtue... but I love getting what I want when I want it," he told me and rocked his hips against me harder before he flipped me- pressing my head down and my lower half up as he adjusted himself over me- aligning himself. "Don't forget this~" He purred. "I'm about to give you something unforgettable." I gasped a little and looked back at him as I gripped the sheets.
"Edmund," I moaned out and felt my face heat up slightly as I felt him. I spread my legs a little as I moved my back up against his more, wanting to feel his chest above me better. Damn he's sexy.... He let out a playful purr as he heard me.
"First step to knowing my name... If I'm gone in the future, you'll only know this at the mention of my name," he whispered to me. His body and mine began to dance to the ship's fight against the sea and pleasure overtook us both. Edmund...
Edmund~
Edmund.
I'll never be able forget Edmund.
~Time Skip~
I looked around as I slowly got off the boat and stepped down onto the dock. Supposedly I had landed us in Rome again on my way to leave the Mediterranean Sea for the second time in my life. A lot of us wanted a break from the waters and we wanted to buy more food. We were going to travel a little bit of the coast of Africa this time instead of going home to check on it like last time. I glanced around and purred as I looked Rome over and took a deep breath, turning to look for Terry and my sweet Edmund. "Boys, come accompany me," I called out quickly then smirked. I'm not letting my precious pets and mate out of sight here~ "We'll go see about baths and some treats while the crew buys more supplies and food for the trip."
"Baths?" Edmund asked as he ran up to me and looked excited. "Good!" He wrapped an arm around my neck and started to tug me off the docks. "I've been dying for one." I purred and looked towards him before I lightly kissed his neck and held out my hand for Terry's, feeling him quickly slipping his into mine as I heard his familiar footsteps catch up.
"Yes, we're all going to take a bath while we're here. We might stay the night if it's worth it," I hummed out and squeezed Terry's hand, earning a small giggle from him. "After we get cleaned up, we could see about visiting the princess that lives here."
"Louis~!" I heard a familiar feminine voice calling from me from a few ships away. She waved at me as she ran up to me and wrapped me up into her arms. "I knew it was you~" She whispered as she smelled me and looked towards my newborns. "I can tell them." I purred and looked her over. Val?
"Val, right?" I asked as I thought her face looked familiar to me. This is that girl I met at Laurence's castle.... "It's been awhile~!" I laughed then leaned my head against Edmund's shoulder. "Do they really give me away so easily?"
"Yes~ If it wasn't for you- I'd have to wait for you to talk a bit before I was certain on who you were." She giggled as she ran her fingers through my hair. "So, you're actually doing it?" She asked me as she looked towards my ship. "It's impressive~ Alex and I want to start sailing the seas too. We're thinking about going to that new land.... We're probably going to make Victor and Laurence come with us." I nodded then purred as I smirked at her.
"You should~ I'd head over there too, but I want to stay around here a little longer.... I'll go over in the next decade or so," I told her then purred. "Europe still fascinates me~ and the riches in Egypt are amazing."
"Plus, you haven't gotten to see much of it," she said thoughtfully. "Well... You have to come see me when you're done exploring."
"I will," I promised her and smirked then leaned in, kissing her cheek. "I'm about to head down to Africa actually.... When I come back up, I'll be stopping here again then heading back up to Wales.... I might port in Spain for a day on the way," I told her thoughtfully. "After Wales... I'll see about planning an expedition to the Americas.... I heard it's like a whole other world over there."
"We'll see," she purred out. "I know it will be fun to hunt new blood~" She licked her lips then. I moaned slightly at the thought. I didn't even think about it that way... but there would be new blood there~
"That sounds amazing~ I'll have to sink my fangs into the first native there I find!" I hummed out and laughed at the thought. "I bet they taste pure...."
"Definitely something new~ A new line of blood... It's boring drinking from the same families." She licked her lips and smirked. "Victor will have way too much fun there."
"Mhm~ I bet he will! He looked like he was that kind of vampire when I met him," I told her then smirked. "I'll take my two newborns with me to establish some sort of estate over there when I go. You two want to go see this new land, right?" I asked and looked between the both of my boys. "We could start something together over there- something that we build and not the remnants of the past~"
"Sure!" He looked excited then. "In my human years I never dreamed of something like this- new land we can build something new on..." He gave an excited look. "It pays off to be immortal." I laughed at Edmund then gave him a small kiss on the cheek before I growled in his ear.
"We'll build something together," I husked out into his ear but heard Terry whine, squeezing my hand tightly as he watched us.
"Master," he mumbled as he pouted from the lack of attention. Edmund purred and tackled Terry- pulling him into a tight hug.
"What? You don't want to call me?" He asked and kicked his cheek. "I'm fun too~ You taste like sweat and sea," he coughed out and gave a disgusted look. "You need a bath."
"Well how about you come home with me and you can bathe in my traditional bath houses," Val suggested. "Or you can have a personal one where I give you a bunch of servants to crowd you and feed you fruits while they wash you... or you can have your traditional Wales bath- in a tiny tub." I watched her then laughed. Well... I am trying out new things.
"I'll take the big bath," I told her then looked at my boys. "Edmund~ Don't crowd Terry like that. He wanted me," I purred out and snatched Terry away from him, giving his head a small kiss as I wrapped him up in my arms. He relaxed quickly and started to purr innocently as his warm brown eyes looked up into mine in admiration.
"Well~ Let me go get Alex off that ship before he decides to conquer a new country," she purred and started back from where she had come from. "ALEX TIME TO GO!"
"WHAT?! I WAS JUST PLANNING TO GO PAY OLD GREECE A VISIT!" He shouted from the ship then appeared at the railings with a sword in his grip.
"Louis is here!" She told him. "Now get off that ship. We'll go pay Greece a visit later~ We have other plans."
"What?! Tell Louis to go home," Alex growled and leaned on the railing. "He doesn't belong here~! Greece is waiting!"
"Don't be rude! We have guests now! Get off that ship or I'm not letting you have dinner tonight~"
"You can't keep me from getting dinner," he hissed and exposed his fangs.
"YES, I CAN!" She told him and gave him a challenging look. "I'll ground you!"
"You can't do that," he hissed and held his head high. "I'm Alexander the Great! I can easily get what I want when I want it. There are hundreds of servants in the castle. I know how to trap them to get blood!"
"ALEX DON'T YELL THAT!" She hissed at him and rolled her eyes before she looked towards me. "While he's roasting on a bonfire the humans will put him on... Let's go get you a bath." I nodded then and purred.
"Alright~ Let's go boys." I hummed out and let Terry go, starting to walk down the docks. I heard Alex muttering as he got off the ship and started to follow us, putting his sword away at his side. Val smirked as she walked us over to a waiting carriage and eyed us over before she smirked at Alex.
"Alex~ I think I'll sit in your lap." She told him as she let us climb into the carriage first before she made him get in and sat down in his lap. Terry ended up sitting on their side while Edmund made me sit with him. I purred a little and looked at Edmund before I grabbed his hand and laced my fingers with his, giving his hand a slight squeeze. Looking out the window, I studied the buildings as the carriage started to move and chuckled lightly. Traveling was the best decision I ever made.... Terry played with his wavy hair and giggled, bringing his knees up to his chest as he hummed lightly.
"Sadly, I won't be joining you for a bath," Val purred out in amusement. "I don't take baths with strange men," she giggled out. "Just Alex." She looked towards him and smirked at him. "He's my companion after all... I earned him~ Alex do you want to tell Louis how you became mine?" He huffed and frowned at her.
"More like how you tricked me," he muttered.
"I didn't trick...." She trailed off and frowned. "I was hunting you." He watched her then ran his fingers through her hair.
"Okay," he said and then leaned his head back against the seats. I laughed and eyed the two of them over.
"It's fine Val. I would feel strange if you got in the bath with me.... If I was going to have anyone in my bath, it'd be my boys," I told her then eyed Edmund over then glanced at Terry.
"Well... I hope you have a great bath~ You can drink from any of the servants too. They're all open to let vampires drink from them." I nodded before I sunk into my seat, glad for the comfort it brought.
"Okay~ I might take you up on that.... Boys, would you like your own bath, or would you like to bathe with me?" I asked them calmly.
"I want to bathe with you," Edmund told me and smiled. I nodded then looked at Terry who blushed and shrunk down in his seat, shaking his head no.
"I'm good. I want my own bath," he said then gave me a nervous smile. I laughed and nodded.
"That's fine Terry," I told him sweetly then crossed my legs. "It's fine to be shy."
"I want to bathe with you though," Edmund whispered and pouted towards him. "Be adventurous~ I won't look." Terry quickly shook his head no and blushed.
"Nuh-uh... you'll try to bite me! I can smell that you bit our master," he said and shrunk down a little more.
"I'm not going to bite you~ I'm more interested in biting our master. Now... he'll bite you." I laughed and playfully exposed my fangs at Terry, making him yelp.
"See, he promises not to bite you," I told him then purred before I patted my lap for Terry. He blushed then got into my lap before he gave me an innocent look and curled up against my chest.
"Okay, master," he murmured then smiled happily as he smelled me, finding comfort in it. I smiled and gently kissed the top of his head before I looked at Edmund and leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"So, you're taking a bath with us?" Edmund asked in amusement.
"If Louis wishes it," Terry murmured and started to play with my shirt. I smirked and gave Edmund another kiss on the cheek before I rubbed Terry's head. Edmund gave me a small- brave kiss on the lips before he snuck a kiss onto Terry's cheek. I purred loudly at Edmund and smirked towards him, eyeing him over as I exposed my fangs at him as Terry didn't notice us. Edmund smirked as he watched me before he yanked Terry into his lap and wrapped him up in his arms. I growled at him then and narrowed my eyes slightly. Did he seriously just kiss me then take Terry away from me? I crossed my arms then looked out the window as I tsked. Edmund laughed as he watched me.
"What?" I asked, keeping my voice calm. "Is something funny?"
"You look mad," he told me and smiled. "You're mad because I took Terry from you."
"Terry's sweet and innocent. Don't go filling his head with other things," I muttered towards him.
"What other things?" He asked me. "Things we know?"
"Yes," I said and glanced back at him.
"I won't fill his head with those things," he told me and rubbed Terry's head. I watched them then nodded before I relaxed slightly and went back to watching the buildings pass as I absentmindedly rubbed where Edmund had marked me on my neck. I heard Val whispering to Alex about what she'd do to him since he yelled about taking blood in public.
"What? No one was around that would have heard me anyways," Alex muttered at her. "The only ones that were around were those who already knew about us.... You can't seriously punish me for talking about blood in public."
"I have to make sure you don't get used to it," She told him. He growled a little then at her.
"You shouldn't punish me anyways. I'm the only one you have around here as your companion," he reminded her.
"Fine... I'll let you slip by with a warning... but next time," she told him and waved her index finger in his face. He exposed his fangs and went to bite it. She frowned and yanked her finger back. He smirked at her then licked his lips as he looked towards her neck and slowly leaned in for it. I shook my head as I watched them then purred as I looked towards Edmund and saw that Terry was snoozing in his arms quietly. I leaned over and gave Edmund a small kiss on the lips for earlier then rubbed Terry's head as I scooted closer to them. Edmund smiled at me and eyed me over before he wrapped an arm around me. I purred and leaned my head against his shoulder as I breathed in his scent then bit in, marking him quietly. He let out a small purr and exposed his neck more to me. I purred and leaned in towards his neck, giving him a kiss there before I leaned in towards his ear.
"Edmund, be mine and mine alone," I whispered into his ear and nipped at it.
"I'll think about it," he teased me and ran his fingers through Terry's hair. I gave a slight growl and kissed his neck again. He purred as he looked towards me. "I said.... I would think about it." I pulled away and huffed as I looked him over. He should already know though.... We already mated. He smirked and kissed me then. "Alright... I decided," he told me. "You can have me... but you have to tell me you love me first." I tsked and watched him.
"You're just playing with me," I muttered. He frowned then.
"No," he told me.
"You're teasing me...." I crossed my legs and tilted my chin up a little at him.
"No." He looked away from me- staring out the window. "If you don't want to say you love me then I guess I can't be yours." I blushed as I watched him and looked him over then rubbed my leg slightly.
"I love you," I whispered to him and bit my bottom lip. He looked towards me and smiled before he gave me a kiss on my lips.
"I love you too.... Bottom."
"Want to bet?" I purred out then wrapped my arms around his neck, stealing a kiss with a small laugh.
"I'd love to see you try." I laughed happily and kissed his neck then bit in, marking him. Mine~ He let out a small gasp and exposed his neck more to me. "Louis," he husked out. I purred sweetly at him and curled my fingers into his hair, feeling Terry start to move in Edmund's lap. Edmund smirked and pushed me away a little before he laid Terry down in both our laps. I looked down at Terry then purred as I started to run my fingers through his soft hair and smiled.
"I'm so lucky to have you boys," I whispered and leaned down, giving Terry's sleeping face a small kiss on his forehead. "I don't know where I'd be without you two...."
Some odd time skip away, Victor's POV:
Trick giggled as he placed a carrot onto our snowman- finishing it off with the nose. He giggled as he turned back around to face me in his layered outfit the maids made for him. He twitched his ears as he reached up for me and sneezed. "Daddy! I want up," he told me as he twirled his fingers in and out, eagerly. His little nose was getting red from the cold... Maybe I shouldn't have brought him out here for this long... Since he's so young... He's probably going to catch a cold.
"King Victor," I heard one of my newborns call for me. He was heading straight for me. "We found out where Richardo is... It's not good news." He said as he held a newspaper up to his chest before he revealed it to me- holding it out for me to look over. "He's in Africa..." He said as he trailed off. "Richardo has been in Africa- wiping out tribes and villages..." He pulled out a small- white envelop from in his pocket. "It's a request for a council meeting," he told me as he handed it over. "I overheard they're already wanting to do something about Richardo. I'm sorry I couldn't get here sooner to tell you- it's hard to travel from place to place." He pushed his hair back behind his ear. "Your friend- Paris will be getting this envelop soon as well." I frowned and picked up Trick as I took the envelope. So, it has come down to this.... They'll punish him if he doesn't disappear and quiet down for a little while.
"I'll tell Rose to tell Paris. Thank you for informing me. I'll have to defend Richardo to the best of my ability at the council meeting...." Besides, Richard is so fun. I can't let him get punished. "I'll see about writing letters to convince people before it's too late for him." I kissed the top of Trick's head and started for the castle. "Give the newspaper to Rose."
"Yes sir," he said calmly and straightened his back before he started for my castle as well. Trick gave another sneeze and made a sound like he wasn't feeling good as he laid his head down against my chest. I looked at him worriedly and rushed us inside before I started for the living room where the fireplace would be going. As soon as I was in there, I took him to the couch in front of it and sat him down on it, laying him back then took my coat off and placed it on top of him as a blanket to keep him warm.
"There we go, sweetie~ Rest," I told him and kissed his forehead again. "I'll get you some mushroom soap to warm you up." He nodded towards me and curled up under my jacket- giving a giggle as he went under it. I smirked as I watched him and gave a playful growl before teleported into the kitchen and cleared my throat. "Chefs, make me a bowl of mushroom soap for young Trick~ Don't skimp out on the mushrooms, or you'll know what it's like to have needles in your neck," I said then smirked as I put my hands behind my back and eyed my servants over. They all nodded as they eyed me over- giving me their full attention.
"Oh, you mean this~" I heard Mikhail, my head butler, say from behind me as he held up a bowl of soup he was about to place on a tray- mushroom soup. "I thought he'd need it after you took him outside. So, I had some made." I looked at him then started to purr.
"Aren't you thoughtful~" I walked over and inspected the soap. "You're such a good butler, Mikhail."
"I'm trying to be," he told me and gave me a sweet smile. "Is there anything else I should set up for you or your adorable son?"
"Some vodka for me," I told him then started for the door. "Give Trick some juice with his soup."
"Hmmm~ I think I'll give him some milk instead- if you don't mind. I might add some honey into it to spoil him."
"He's going to get sick soon.... Do what you think is best for him to prevent it getting worse than it will," I told him, looking back at Mikhail sharply. "If my boy dies... I'll be angry."
"I'll give him some juice then... Oranges. GET TO SQUEEZING ORANGES!" He yelled at the other servants. "It works best against your forehead," he teased. I smirked slightly and walked out, starting to whistle a little tune as I headed back for the living room to check on Trick. I'll have to check on Rose and Paris soon too.... As I entered the living room, I smirked and snuck up to the couch before I started to tickle my coat to mess with Trick. Trick giggled and squirmed under the coat before he slipped out of it and ran from me before he fell over from tripping on the rug and let out a huff as he hit the ground. I laughed and teleported over to him, scooping him up into my arms and hugged him tightly.
"My little malysh," (translate: baby boy) I purred out to him then kissed between his ears then rubbed one of them lightly as I smelled him. He sneezed again and twitched his ears before he grabbed my shirt and started to chew on it. I smirked at him then sat down on the couch with him, wrapping him up in my coat and started to rub his back lightly. "I'll take good care of you.... Did you have fun today?" I whispered and smirked as I looked him in the eyes.
"UH-HUH!" He giggled and eyed me over. "I'm hungry!" He whined out.
"They're bringing you some mushroom soup and some orange juice," I promised him and leaned my forehead against his. "You can wait for it~" He whined and lowered his ears.
"I want some now!" He whined and rubbed his ears before he sniffled. He rubbed his red nose then.
"They're coming," I promised him. "They already finished your soup~ They're working on the orange juice." He nodded and rubbed his ears then.
"Tell them to finish now," he whispered.
"So impatient~ You need to learn to wait," I told him and tapped his red nose before I playfully exposed my fangs at him. He sniffled and rubbed his stomach.
"I'm hungry though," he whined out.
"Wait," I instructed him again and frowned. He sniffled and laid his ears back before he whined.
"Daddy," he whispered.
"They'll be here in a few minutes~" I told him then purred. "I'll give you a sip of my blood though. How about that?"
"No, I want mushroom soup!" He told me and started to chew on my fingers. "I want mushroom soup," he mumbled and started to drool. I laughed and rubbed his teeth with my fingers, checking to see how they were doing and how sharp they were as I rubbed his back. I could feel a loose baby tooth in his mouth. He pulled away from me quickly and giggled- giving me a playful growl. I raised an eyebrow then pulled him back.
"Come here silly. You got a loose tooth."
"Nu-uh," he told me as he crawled out of my lap quickly. I smirked and snatched his foot, dragging him back to me and opened his mouth. I slipped my fingers into his mouth and started to wiggle his tooth curiously, seeing how loose it was. He let out a whine and waited for me as he looked up at me. I could feel it was ready to come out. He grabbed my hands and let out a playful growl. I grabbed his hands with my free hand and pinned them before I started to wiggle it a bit more, trying to free it from his gums. He let out a yelp and started to panic as he watched me. "Daddy," he whined out.
"It's fine. I'll make it feel better after it's out," I told him and lightly pulled on it. He let out a gasp and laid his ears back- watching me.
"Daddy," he whined out and started to cry. I shushed him and gave his forehead a kiss before I finally felt it give and pulled my fingers back, looking at his tooth.
"There we go~" I purred sweetly and set it aside then pricked my finger with my nails and moved my bleeding finger back into his mouth. Rubbing his bleeding gums lightly, I felt it start to heal with my blood, taking his pain away. He sniffled and started to suck on my finger- giving a slight moan. I laughed a little and kissed his temple as I pulled him up into my arms and held him close. "Doesn't that feel better?" He nodded and curled up to me. I heard Mikhail coming into the living room then with a tray.
"Here we go~ Let's get some food in you," he told Trick. Trick looked at him and eyed over the tray and sat up quickly- waiting as Mikhail brought it over to the coffee table and sat it up for Trick. Trick slipped into the floor then and crawled over to it before he grabbed the bowl and started to sip on it. I smirked as I watched him then looked at Mikhail expectantly.
"Where's what I wanted?" I asked and crossed my legs.
"Oh~" He smirked as he walked up to me then pulled out a bottle of vodka and gave it to me. "Here you go. Don't drink too much."
"What if I do?" I asked and opened it, starting to chug it's contents.
"Well.... I thought it would be best for Trick," he said calmly. I smirked and pulled back halfway through the bottle then purred.
"Trick will be fine," I told him then frowned. "I have to write some letters. Babysit him for me, won't you?"
"Okay~ Just for a little bit though. I have a few other things to do today," he told me and smiled as he looked towards Trick and sat down on the other side of the table and watched him. "Trick... Drink your orange juice too." I eyed them over then got to my feet. Time to save Richard's hide.
Paris's POV:
My fingers trailed over the keys of the piano as I eyed them over longingly and struck a chord- listening to it as it hallowed out the room. "PARIS!" I heard Rose yell as she ran into the room. She walked up to my calmly and slammed something down over my hands. "I want you to read that. You can still read right? You stopped writing in your journals," she shoved something into my pocket then. "Read it carefully. Aloud." I eyed over the paper then- looking at the blurry black ink before I sat it to the side. "Fine, I'll read it to you," she said calmly and sat down on the bench next to me and hummed happily. "Mysterious mass murder in Africa.... Suspicions point to Richardo- Prince of Transylvania." She leaned in and kissed my cheek. "He's in Africa, Paris," she purred loudly then. He's in Africa.
I looked towards her and blinked a few times before I eyed over the headliner, she had just read to me. There is was in big bold letters... If they suspect, it's Richard doing that in Africa... then I should investigate it. If it's Richard than I can- I can see him again. Remind him of what he's missing. "I'm going to Africa," I said calmly. Isn't Africa south of Europe? Looks like I need to travel home first... then take a boat south. I've never been there so I can't teleport there. I will have to travel the long way. My chest ached a little at the thought of confronting him. He's marked someone else.... Like he doesn't love me enough to keep a mark on me... What if he kills me this time because he forgot about us? I teleported then to the docks of France.... a very familiar place for me. I eyed them over as I stood in a shadow of a building. There were only three ships in port. I eyed over each ship before I sighed and teleported onto the first one and looked around- smelling out the captain's quarters. I stepped into it once I found it and eyed over the room before my eyes landed on the captain. He was sitting at a desk, eyeing over a map with a heavy expression of concentration on his face. I smirked as I walked up to him and licked my lips- a small scratch started up in my throat as I watched him before I walked behind the desk. He looked at me then- startled and stood up.
"Who are you? What are you doing?" He asked me and looked creeped out. I smirked as I got closer to him and locked eye contact with him.
"My name is Paris, Prince of France. I'm taking over this vessel and you're going to sail us to Africa... Across the Mediterranean. When we get there, you will let me off and forget I exist. Until then you will feed me your blood and take good care of me since I am royal. In reward, I won't kill you." I watched as his eyes glazed over and he nodded towards me. "Make sure to address me as your master to make me feel special," I purred out in slight amusement. "Now offer yourself to me." He slowly exposed his neck and watched me. I sat down in his chair and yanked him into my arms before I bit down into him and moaned at the taste of his blood- beginning to feast on it... On him. I felt my venom suddenly release into him on accident. Ops... I'll have to do something about that later. I pulled away from him quickly and licked my lips clean. I eyed over the map before I shoved him off. "This is my quarters now. You'll have to finish your map elsewhere." He nodded out of respect and grabbed his things off the desk along with the map and walked off. I bet he's ultra-confused~
