Silas's POV:
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I frowned and pulled it out, checking my notifications and ran my fingers through my hair.
Lyle: Soooooooooooooooooo~ How's it going?
Me: Well. Nico is engaged. I've been planning out A'slin's wedding.... Why? You finally miss Milo?
Lyle: I was thinking about hunting him down.... but I figure he'll come back to me. Especially since I have his laptop. I think you should come by~ I have a surprise for you.
Me: You know... he's with a God here in Japan right? I put a tracker in him....
Me: I guess I'll come by.
Lyle: I. Have. His. Laptop. He'll come home.
Lyle: Great! Wear a suit.
Me: It's not that hard to get a laptop, and you can write on your phone... and why do I need a suit?
Lyle: Suit. Here before ten.
I sighed and got to my feet before I went over to my closet, pocketing my phone and grabbed a suit, getting dressed quickly and then walked out of my bedroom to go hunt down Rei's fledgling. Once I found her and got to the Rosario night room, I glanced around and gave her a small smile before I walked out. "Lyle~ I'm here!" A butler walked up to me calmly.
"Lyle requested that if a servant found you, to lead you into the night room. You'll be staying there until ten and then you'll head straight to the ball room." I frowned then and looked the butler over.
"Why?" I live here. I could just walk around him and go find Lyle....
"Because of the wonderful surprise," he told me and smiled. "Now, do as told." I frowned.
"No," I told him then went to go around him. Why the hell would he talk to me like that? I'm his employer!
"Sir, please don't walk amongst the castle as you wish. Lyle wants you in the night room." He started to grab me then. I widened my eyes then frowned at him.
"Can I at least go out into the garden," I asked him, sighing. He's going to listen to Lyle huh?
"No. You're told to stay in the night room. Should I call Lyle in here?" You know what.... I smirked at him then.
"Yeah, I think you should," I purred at him, deciding to mess with him. He sighed and texted Lyle our location.
"SILAS GET YOUR ASS IN THE NIGHT ROOM!" I heard my brother Lyle yell.
"WHY?!" I yelled back and laughed.
"BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO! YOU'RE A BUZZ KILL!"
"AM NOT!" I purred then and started for the night room calmly, humming. "I can at least watch TV I guess," I told myself, thinking about what all was in the night room to play with. I went inside and plopped down on the couch, grabbing the remote and put on Death Parade, starting to marathon it as I waited. After a few episodes, the butler walked in and smiled huge.
"Thank you for waiting. You may go to the ball room." He stepped aside for me. I nodded and got up, starting my journey to the ball room.
As I reached the ball room, I could hear music playing. Two butlers were waiting by the door and when I closed in, they held the doors open for me. Inside was my siblings along with a table with a wine glass tower on it. There was a dinning table set up nearby, waiting for us. Lyle gave me a pleased look and took a wine glass to me, holding it out. "I thought we could use a little us time," he told me sweetly. "We don't hang out as much." His eyes darted to Sylar briefly. Our little brother was looking down into his wine glass, admiring the color of the wine. I widened my eyes as I looked my siblings over then purred.
"We could use a little us time," I told him happily. He assembled all our siblings to eat together.... They're all here~! I laughed and then took the wine glass from him before I kissed his cheek. "The tower is beautiful."
"I had the butlers set it up," he said and gave a huge smile. "It was fun watching them." He started for the table then, sitting down at the only end seat. "Alright, sit down boys- girl." Esther giggled and ran up to a seat, sitting down and purred, taking a sip of her wine. I shook my head and smirked as I walked up, sitting down right next to Lyle and watched as Everest took the seat across from me.
"You're having a lot of fun with this, aren't you?" I teased Lyle. He nodded.
"Of course I am." He watched as Sylar walked up and took his seat next to Everest. "I'm so glad we're having this dinner together. We needed it."
"Uh huh," I hummed out and took a sip of my wine glass.
"You know... we could all take a cruise together- just us for a week," Everest purred, giving a small smirk.
"No... we don't have time for that. Silas, you need to get down to business with," Lyle reminded me. I frowned at him.
"With what?" I asked and looked him over. "I already took over the resistance. All I have to do is wipe out the hunters, and then the world will be safe." He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
"I want the resistance in the palms of my hands," he told me quickly. "I want to know where they all are."
"Why? They're fine as long as they repent from working with hunters," I told him and took another sip of my wine. "They're the least of our concerns."
"Because they're still breaking laws," he sighed out.
"We're breaking laws too," I purred at him then smirked. "If the council could see us- those council members not related to us- they'd freak.... We'd be punished- all of us. They'd rip our crystals out and call us impure and monsters and sinful. The council has it's flaws just like the resistance does." He frowned and looked away from us.
"We're only breaking laws because you went to hell and came back," he grumbled. I frowned then and narrowed my eyes at him.
"What? Do you want to go back to before?" I hissed lightly at him. I gave him this gift! He better be happy I chose to share this experience with him! He looked towards me then and stared me down.
"I'm only doing this because you're interested in playing demon lord." He tapped his wine glass and glanced me over. "We're all breaking laws and it's only because we have your back. You're lucky you have wonderful siblings like us." I frowned at him then. He doesn't even love his little gift.... I took a sip of my wine glass then.
"Well maybe I shouldn't have shared it with you since how you're going to be such a sour candy about it," I told him and looked away from him, crossing my legs. "Maybe Milo would finally come home to you."
"I'd finally get this ridiculous cravings under control," he scoffed out in annoyance. "I'm thirsty, Silas. How can this be good for us."
"Do you not feel stronger?" I asked him and lightly growled. "You could protect yourself and everyone you love better. Trust me, this is better. Your runaway needs to come home though so you'll stop pouting about being a demon."
"I'm not going to go after him... He's on untouchable land... I might have already tried," he grumbled and looked away. Sylar lifted his glass and took a sip of the wine. I frowned then. So he has been trying to get to him.... He just hasn't admitted it to us.
"We'll get him off it," I promised him softly. "I think I can figure out a way to trick your little lover off holy grounds so you can get him."
"I don't want to trick him," Lyle mumbled. "I'm his mate. Tricking is not on my list, Silas. Besides the point. We need to take care of the resistance. We're not with them, we're against them, remember?"
"We'll see," I hummed out. "I could use the resistance for a bit though. I'd like to hold off on killing them."
"Killing them? I want them imprisoned and converted. I don't intend on killing one just yet." He snapped his fingers and the butlers standing around us sat down a plate of Mongolian beef, fried rice, and an egg roll. "Eat up." I purred and picked up my fork, eating a bite then looked at Lyle.
"Let's not mess with the resistance yet. I'm going to use them to get my goals accomplished... and then you can have your fun with them," I told him and laughed. He sighed and looked me over.
"You need to hurry up." He picked up his fork and started to eat. Sylar looked his plate over before picking up the egg roll and looked it over. He looked towards a butler quickly.
"Can I get some soy sauce?" He asked. "As well as some chopsticks- oh and I want some hot tea." He sat the egg roll down and chugged his glass until it was empty. The butler walked out quickly to get his list. I laughed and looked at Sylar and purred his way before I took another bite of my food. Sounds like he wants the full experience over there.
"Anyways~ I'll text Milo and get him to come out for a little while," I hummed out.
"Don't trick him," Lyle begged me. I was suddenly stabbed by a knife as Sylar threw it at me. I yelped and looked towards the knife then let out a sharp growl, ripping it out and looked at him.
"Child," I muttered then set the knife down next to my fork.
"You laughed at me," he said calmly.
"I was laughing that you wanted the full experience," I told him then looked at Lyle. "I won't trick him. I'll tell him that I want him to come out to see you. We'll drive over tomorrow night," I suggested. "We can at least park outside the gates and wait for him to see if he'll come out." Lyle picked up the knife and placed it in front of Everest's face.
"Lick this clean," Lyle purred out. Everest purred and leaned in, starting to lick the knife clean. I frowned at them.
"Are you seriously feeding him my blood off a knife?" I asked him and sat my glass down. Everest moaned and looked towards me as he finished licking the knife clean then exposed his fangs, jumping over the table for me. I shrieked and got to my feet quickly, starting to make a break for it. "DON'T YOU DARE!"
"Here you go," Lyle said and passed the knife to Sylar. "Keep that next to your plate and don't throw it again." He gave a warning tone.
"I'm not five you know," Sylar spat. I managed to get away from Everest and watched as he growled at me.
"No," I told him firmly and exposed my fangs at him warningly. "I'll bite you back," I hissed and walked back to my seat, eyeing Everest down to make sure he wouldn't try to bite me as I passed.
"Here you go," I heard the butler say as he returned with what Sylar asked for. I watched curiously then felt Esther snatch my wrist, biting into it quickly. I groaned and looked towards her. Darn it.... Everest was behind me quickly and sunk his fangs into my neck, a loud purr escaping him.
"I'm going someplace else if you're all going to pour his disgusting stench out into the air," Sylar said as he went to stand up. Esther giggled and pulled back from my wrist before she got some of my blood on her fingers and flicked it at Sylar, making it land on his face. He narrowed his eyes before he grabbed the napkin by his plate and rubbed the blood off his face. He grabbed his plate and started for the door.
"Oh don't leave. I was just being playful," Esther called out after him, getting up to chase him down. He frowned as he looked over his shoulder at us. He paused in walking.
"It still smells," Sylar hissed out.
"Then we'll spill some of Lyle's too," she told him and giggled. "We can get some glade in here for you if you don't like the smell."
"No one is touching my skin," Lyle said calmly. "Now all four of you sit back down." Esther obeyed and sat back down, taking a bite of her food with a happy purr. Everest groaned but sat back down, licking his lips. Thank. The. Lord. Sylar hissed slowly before sitting back down in his seat, slamming the plate down on the table. I looked him over then took a bite of my food, starting to finish it off. I pulled out my phone after I finished and looked at Lyle then at my phone.
Me: Milo, I have something that I want you to do for me. I want you to come outside tomorrow and talk to Lyle for me, will you? He deserves to see you and talk to you. If you're afraid, your fear is misplaced because he's pretty much the same.
I sat my phone down and looked at Lyle then. "I texted him for you," I purred to him and smirked. He looked me over before taking a sip of his wine.
"I need you to go to your blood house," he said calmly.
"Why?" I hummed out. "I can go the day after tomorrow. Milo will be waiting to talk to you tomorrow night." He looked at his plate of food in annoyance.
"Because, Silas, I gave you a mission from the council and you've been so busy with your family... you keep forgetting about it." I sighed then.
"Alright, I'll go the night after tomorrow night and get back to it," I told him and looked him over. "That's fair enough."
"How's your problems with Hesper and that dragon king?" He asked curiously.
"Working out. They've stayed instead of running away. I'm sure Rei will let the dragon king marry Hesper," I purred to him. "We've gotten him to promise us that he'll get rid of all his other mates."
"Isn't the week almost over?" Lyle asked and smiled sweetly. "Don't forget, you're supposed to turn Hesper young again." I nodded.
"I know. I've got to talk to Aurelio the next time I see him. We're planning out Killian's wedding after all. It won't be long before I end up talking to them in person again," I purred out. I should've asked the last time I saw him, but everything has been so hectic. "How have things been here- in the castle I mean?"
"Normal~ Lonely without Milo." Lyle sighed out. "I just want him back... Now would be a perfect time to propose to him."
"You're proposing to Milo?" Sylar asked. I laughed then happily.
"You should tomorrow~ It'd be perfect! Imagine his face as he comes off the holy grounds and finds you waiting with a ring. He'd never leave your side again, and he'd realize that you're still the same lovable vampire he met in an alley," I teased him and smirked.
"Stop coming up with ideas for me!" Lyle whined. "I'm going to come up with it on my own!" He glared me down and stuck a fork full in his mouth. I laughed and took a sip of my wine then.
"Anyways~ We'll get him back for you tomorrow, whether you propose or not," I told him sweetly. "I'm sure he'll come down out of curiosity if not love." Lyle frowned as he stared me down.
"Oh by the way..." He trailed off. "You two are doing time in the dungeon again." I frowned then sunk down in my seat.
"Why? I was planning on hanging out with him later... not in the dungeon where he'd place his anger at being in there on me," I mumbled. I was going to make him go in the dungeon in the next decade.....
"What do you think this dinner party was about?" Lyle asked and smirked. Sylar frowned and took a bite of his egg roll after drowning it in soy sauce.
"So you could trap me in the dungeon or so that we could spend time together?" I asked and frowned at him. Did he go through all this elaborateness- making me get in a tux- so that he could lock me in for the day? Lyle smirked.
"Why do you think I've got all of us five here? Incase you two run from me." He looked towards Everest and Esther. Fuuuuuuuuudge. I got up quickly and made a break for it. I didn't agree to this tonight! HE'LL YANK ON MY TAIL OR STAB ME OR SOMETHING! I heard Esther giggling at me then, watching me run for the door. Sylar's clone appeared in front of the door before he stepped beside it and held it open. I could hear Sylar making a break for it as well.
"Soooo... should I catch them?" Everest asked calmly, watching us as we made it to the door together.
"Yeah, bring them back here so they can finish their meals before we lock them up."
"Okay, I'll get the handcuffs too. We'll cuff their ankles to their seat," Everest suggested and disappeared. I heard Esther getting up and walking after us with a purr. I shrieked and ran out quickly, running for the garage. NOPE! I'M NOT BEING LOCKED UP TONIGHT! I heard Sylar heading for the stairs to go up to his room. I smelled Everest nearby suddenly and glanced behind me, seeing Everest snatch Sylar up first. Crap, he's got the cuffs.
"No no no no no no no!" Sylar yelled and struggled to get free from Everest. "I don't want to go back down there!"
"Then you better patch things up with Silas, or else we'll be doing this for a long time, and don't worry. We'll invent new ways to trap the two of you downstairs," Everest purred and disappeared with Sylar into the ball room again. Esther looked my way and smirked.
"It'd be better for you if you just came back in and behaved," she told me and purred.
"Nuh uh! I'm not getting locked up down there yet," I hissed at her then ran away quickly. I didn't get far though before I felt someone grab me and my surroundings changed. I was shoved back down into the seat I had been in, my ankle suddenly being cuffed to the leg of the chair. "NO!" I widened my eyes in panic, seeing I was where I had began. Sylar glanced towards me before crossing his arms.
"This is all your fault," he hissed at me.
"It is not," I hissed back at him and glared his way. "It's your fault because you can't let go of the past!" Sylar glared me down before picking up the knife near his plate.
"No, it's your fault!" He hissed at me. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"It is not," I growled and glanced at the knife then at him before I sat back in my seat and crossed my arms, looking away from him. "Go ahead and throw that knife. I don't give a shit." He glared me down before reaching over the table and went to stab me. Esther tsked and grabbed his wrist.
"Don't do it," she told him and made him sit back down.
"Don't restrain him," I told her and looked over at her. "He can do as he pleases. If he wants to stab me, then he can stab me. It's not that hard to heal." Sylar glared me down before looking at Lyle.
"Lyle, don't make me go back down there. I won't be able to sleep in bed with William."
"That's too bad, you should have thought about that before you almost stabbed our brother," Lyle said as he took a sip of his wine. I frowned at Lyle then.
"Let him sleep with William. He deserves to... and William is rather sweet, and he likes him. He lost Colsin. Don't make him waste time away from William," I told Lyle and sighed, taking a sip of my wine. "Besides, I would like to sleep in bed with my own mate tonight. It's easier with someone beside me."
"Silas," Lyle purred. "This is for your own good... both of you. Now... Don't fight this. You're both going down in the dungeon again." I frowned then and looked at him. Should I tell him why Sylar hates me? I told Rei... but that doesn't mean Lyle will take it the same way.... I sunk down into my seat then and looked over at Sylar then at Lyle.
"Do we have to?" I muttered. I'd much rather Rei just talk to Sylar even though it would be awkward.
"Yes. You both have to. Until I see some improvement." Lyle looked us over. "If I have to, I will make your time down there longer... I'll even hire a doctor."
"Wait, what? Why would we need a doctor?" I asked and frowned at him.
"Sylar just tried to stab you. You really want to know why I'd hire a doctor?" He asked. I frowned at him then.
"So a shrink?" I asked him and wrinkled up my nose.
"Oh yeah~ I'll ask for one from the nearby asylum." He tapped his wine glass.
"Fuck no!" Sylar hissed and rocked the chair back, making him fall backwards.
"Lyle, no," I begged him quickly. "We won't talk to the doctor," I threatened.
"Oh but you will~ I heard he can be very persuasive," I heard a butler say from behind me and chuckled. Lyle looked towards the butler in amusement. I slowly looked over my shoulder then at the butler and narrowed my eyes.
"Oh, and what makes you say that?" I hissed at him.
"Because... It's all over the papers," he told me and waved a newspaper in front of my face then, with the headlines about the doctor. I snatched it from him and looked it over before I tossed it onto the table and looked at Lyle.
"Lyle, do you really want to know why Sylar hates me?" I hissed at him, narrowing my eyes. "Do you want to know the deep dark truth, the reason why he doesn't want to be locked up with me? Do you want to know what you don't know and might not ever know?"
"If it helps," Lyle said calmly. "I just want you two to get along again." I heard Sylar groan from the ground.
"Don't tell him you idiot!" Sylar yelled. I paused then looked towards Sylar.
"Then we better not say anything to the doctor," I told him. "Because I'd much quicker tell Lyle then let a stranger know why you hate me. We should run away where the doctor can't screw with us."
"It's no one's business," Sylar grumbled. "Don't you dare say anything or I'll hate you more."
"You threatened to tell Rei," I muttered and took a sip of my wine glass.
"To get you off me!" He hissed.
"Would you have told Rei?" I asked him calmly.
"N-no.... maybe.... No...." He mumbled.
"Are you going to eat or should I put you two to bed?" Lyle asked. I looked at my empty plate I had finished off then took another sip of my wine.
"I'm still drinking," I mumbled as I looked at Sylar. "Sylar, maybe it would be better for you if you had someone else to talk to instead of me about it. Someone that isn't a doctor... someone that isn't your sibling," I told him softly. He might be able to talk to Rei about it if I work him into it.
"I don't need to talk about it," Sylar grumbled out. "I'll still hate you either way." I heard him trying to get up with the chair.
"Oh~ I just got an idea!" Lyle purred out. "Silas, take your younger brother out on a camping trip." I frowned then.
"I thought you wanted me to hurry up with the resistance plans I have that way you can do what you please with them?" I asked then sat my glass down. A camping trip is better than taking him down into the dungeon though... or having a shrink talk to us. "I guess so though.... We'll bring William and Rei along that way he won't feel uncomfortable camping with me."
"Nope. We're going to put trackers on both of you. We'll have a butler watch your trackers carefully to make sure you're both camping together. Otherwise, we'll throw you both back downstairs and get the shrink." I tensed then.
"Camping it is," I said quickly. "I'll message Rei. Sylar, message William, will you? We'll take the two of them with us." No way in Hell am I talking to a shrink.
"Fine... but I'm telling Rei the sleeping arrangements," Lyle muttered as he pulled out his phone to text my mate. Sylar got seated back up and yanked out his phone, grumbling as he texted William.
"What's that mean? We are sleeping with our own mates, right?" I asked quickly and frowned.
"You'll both be sleeping together in the same tent. Otherwise, I won't let you go." Like he'd know if we slept in separate tents. I gave a small nod and smirked a little.
"Okay," I purred. "We'll leave the night after tomorrow night."
"Three days," Lyle warned me. "It's a three day camping trip."
"Okay, simple enough," I told him and smiled at him. "I'll do my best while on the trip." Thank goodness we're not being locked up and forced to sit with a shrink.
"Alright... I trust you're going to be here for the trip..." He looked towards Sylar. "But.... you.... are going to be tricky to get here. So, I'm going to make you wear a bracelet again that'll restrict your powers and ground you here." He tsked. "If you leave, an alarm will go off and we'll bring you back."
"I hate camping. There's bugs.... and it'll probably smell like wolves."
"We'll go somewhere cool," I told him and purred. "We won't be around here." I looked at Lyle then. "Can I be uncuffed now?"
"You can, if you promise not to run..." He looked towards Everest. "Can you uncuff him?" Everest nodded and got to his feet before he came over and kneeled down, uncuffing my ankles from the seat.
"There we go. Shall I uncuff Sylar as well? Or shall I let him stay cuffed?" He asked, looking at Lyle.
"We better keep him cuffed...." Lyle muttered and trailed off. "Until we get that bracelet around him and his tracker put in him."
"I'll get the bracelet and trackers then," Everest told him and disappeared. Trackers? Now? I frowned and sunk down in my seat.
"These are coming out after the trip, right?" I asked Lyle and looked him over.
"Yeah, of course... but I want you two to do some bonding with each other and not with your mates on the camping trip... You're lucky I'm allowing your mates to come with you." He looked me over. "He's your little brother...." He looked towards Sylar. "And he's your older brother, so kiss and make up or I'll be forced to call the shrink on you," he hissed.
"It's not like I don't want to make up," I mumbled and then sighed as Everest appeared and then stuck the bracelet on Sylar's wrist, clasping it shut.
"Oh, and you two be careful on your trip. Sylar is right.. the woods are loaded with werewolves... especially rogues. So take shifts sleeping during the day. I don't want you two to explode because some light got in through the tent." I nodded quickly.
"We will... or you know... Rei could," I whispered. "I'll take shifts with Rei. He won't get hurt in the sun, and I'll make sure he gets some sleep too."
"You know... I think all four of you can share a tent. Rei and William will take shifts, since they're not effected by the sun." I nodded then.
"Better be a big tent. We could get one of those tents that has three rooms in it, two places to sleep and one to mingle," I told him and purred. That way there would be separate bedrooms. The space in the middle would serve as extra protection from the doorway of the tent because of the flaps to the bedrooms would protect us if Rei or William had to get out.
"We'll also make a casket easy to carry and take with you. I'm sure you two don't mind sharing if it came down to your lives vs the sun." Lyle looked towards a butler. "Jot this down, will you? They'll take a four door truck with them." I nodded in agreement to Lyle.
"We'll share," I promised then looked at Sylar with a purr. "Think you could climb into a coffin with me to save your life?"
"I think I'd rather find shade under a tree," he grumbled. "I've played run through the sunlight before."
"Yeah, but you don't have a wolf to carry you anymore," I mumbled to him and looked him over. "You'll climb into it with me. I'll make you."
"The casket will be made with basket material. So it'll be very light and easy to move, especially if William ends up moving it. We'll have you guys take a few coolers, one for William's needs, and one for blood. Four coolers might do it. You'll have your tent, and sleeping bags- pillows. Duffle bags with a change of clothes. Whatever else you'll like to have. Rei will be the only one allowed to have a weapon."
"How come William can't have one?" I asked curiously, looking Lyle over.
"Because he won't need one, I figure. You guys should go camping up in the mountains." I nodded then.
"So... Rei will be protecting us then," I whispered. He'll be the one with a gun if a werewolf shows up.....
"If a werewolf shows up, you guys know how to make a spear out of a tree limb. If a werewolf shows up." He gave me a smile. I nodded and then purred before I got to my feet then and stretched.
"Alrighty then," I purred at them. "Lyle, get your stuff ready. You're coming back with me to Japan for tonight that way we can travel to Inari's shrine dark and early," I told him and smirked. "We don't want to waste a second."
"I guess not..." Lyle sighed out. He looked towards Sylar. "You better not try running off." He gave a warning look. "I'll be disappointed in you."
