The Demons of Paradise: Volume 8 (The Demon Heart Series) by Margie Eileen Jones (4)

 

“Such nasty business defanging a vampire.  Now there is that powder everywhere.”

 

Drew said as he wiped off his pants.  Jamal with tears in his eyes looked at Sebastian as if to ask why since he could not speak.

 

“You fucked with my family Jamal.  I could have killed you the first time and would have if it were not for Calis stopping me.  You refused them much needed blood and then had the steel nerve to expect my family to feed you and your family.  Do you really think I would take that insult lying down?  You also refused to allow an ancient vampire to stay in his homeland.  You have insulted enough people, frightened and tormented vacationing vampires who have every right to be here to feed.  Your wife used a prejudicial slur to refer to my family members as little white vampire boys who had no right to be here.  I should have her defanged as well just for that.’

“You are lucky we are just going to kill you tonight and let your family alone.  However, things are going to change and the demons are going to go to your family’s home tonight to insure it does as well as to every vampire in the vicinity to know that any vampire who comes here is welcome especially elder vampires.  Demons reproduce blood constantly so they can feed most of your coven plus some.’

“Benjamin will be happier where he is, but if he had wanted to live here he would be coven Master again and this would still happen to you since you are a problem.  Lia is also getting a visit tonight.  She will not be a problem either.  All problems will be solved tonight.”

 

Sebastian stated as Lia was going to also die in a rather painful way for lying since several demons were on their way to see her.  You did not lie to a demon causing problems for a peaceful community like this and think to get away with it.  Lia would be back, but she would also be much humbler.  Jamal would not be coming back.

 

“We need to cauterize those wounds as he is leaking that powdery shit everywhere.”

 

Gabrielle said as Frank got the hot branding iron from the fireplace that was burning hot.

 

“Hold open his mouth Drew.”

 

Frank said as Jamal’s eyes went wide in fear.  If he could, he would have pissed himself by now.

 

Drew held that mouth open and Frank used the branding iron to burn the vampire’s mouth to keep him from bleeding that powdery blood as Jamal screamed in agony.

 

“God, I miss these days sometimes.”

 

Sebastian said as he went to the kitchen and got out a knife.

 

“Keep that handy for his fingers as I am going to get this ring off for his wife.  Maybe she can sell it or some shit.”

 

Sebastian said as he sawed off each of those fingers as Jamal screamed in pain until he got to the wedding finger casually carving that finger until he got the ring off putting it in his pocket.  Then Sebastian picked up the fingers and threw them in the fire.  Frank cauterized those fingers that were now simply stumps on each hand.

 

“Gabrielle, do you want to cut off a leg piece to throw in the fire?  Vampires make excellent kindling and burn forever.”

 

Sebastian asked as Gabrielle searched the drawer for the chop.  A knife simply was not big enough.

 

“Sure.  Hey Frank, where is your big butcher’s chop?”

 

Gabrielle asked and Frank put the hot poker into the fire again.

 

“You always look in the wrong places for things Gabrielle.”

 

Frank said as he pulled the chop off the wall from where it was hanging.

 

Jamal was begging pleading for them not to do this.  He was apologizing over and over again, but it was too late as he was going to be an example to what happened to vampires who fucked with their elders.

 

Gabrielle aimed for a leg and started his work with hard precise cuts chopping off that leg at the knee as Jamal screamed in agony wishing to God they would just kill him already.

 

“Take off those shoes as they will stink in the fireplace.  We might as well cut off both.”

 

Drew said and Sebastian looked around for those cats that Gabrielle talked about.

 

“The cats are in the bedroom since they don’t like loud noises and this asshole is going to be screaming for a while.”

 

Frank said with Sebastian pouting.  He wanted to see cats.

 

“Don’t worry Sebastian, we can come back after we are done here.”

 

Gabrielle stated knowing how badly Sebastian wanted to see those cats.

 

“Boy his legs lit up like nothing else I have seen before.”

 

Drew said as he watched them burn.

 

“Haven’t you ever seen a vampire on fire before?”

 

Sebastian asked and Drew shook his head no.

 

“No, we used to torture them a bit and defang them, but never went further than that.  Frank always felt a bit sorry for them so we let them go.”

 

Drew said and Frank pouted.

 

“Well I liked some of their kind.  Only a few ticked you off.”

 

Frank said as most were fairly nice beings.

 

“I always set one on fire when I was cold on winter nights.  I would search their kind out just for that purpose.  A vampire will burn all night long if you do it right.  A little kerosene always made them light right up and then I would chop them up a bit making a nice campfire out of them.”

 

Sebastian stated and Gabrielle smiled.

 

“I always liked to set part of their bodies on fire and watch them run.  Most were too stupid to drop and roll as they panicked the second they were set ablaze.”

 

Gabrielle said and Drew shook his head as he thought he was bad in defanging them.

 

“He is spilling out that powdery shit like crazy.”

 

Frank said in frustration as he got the hot poker and used it to slowly cauterize the wounds.

 

“What do you want to do to him next?”

 

Gabrielle asked and Sebastian thought about it.

 

“It is probably going to be messy, but I want to save his skull for my tiny husband.  That way he can actually have a vampire skull and we can see if the fangs will grow back.”

 

Sebastian said as he got a bigger knife and prepared to make a mess with Gabrielle this time chopping off the arms as Jamal was not going to need them.  Suddenly there was a knock on the door and this time Sebastian went to answer it.  It had to be William since he had called him.

 

“Really Sebastian?  You had to do this tonight?  You could not wait until tomorrow?”

 

William asked tersely as he was tired just getting home after a full day of work when Sebastian had called him asking for a human puppet that they could put Jamal’s ID and information on when they totaled the car.

 

“Sorry William, it was a last minute decision.”

 

Sebastian said as William looked at the defanged thing that was once a vampire that was still very much alive as his arms were cauterized also by a red hot poker.

 

“You do realize you are all making a mess and putting me on unauthorized overtime.”

 

William said since he did not want to reap a vampire’s soul, but someone had to.

 

“Sorry, we would have contacted another reaper, but Sebastian said you were a friend of his.”

 

Gabrielle stated as he did feel for the reaper.

 

“Let me cut out his skull and then you can reap him William.”

 

Sebastian said as he got the large knife and started to carve into the screaming vampire with William sighing since this was ridiculous.  Calis already had a cast version of a vampire skull.  He did not need a new one.

 

“Why are you wasting time?  Just cut off his head and do your work.”

 

William said as Sebastian was going slow trying not to break the skull.

 

“I want him to feel this shit.  Be patient William, believe me he deserves this.”

 

Sebastian said as he slowly and methodically removed the skull finding the only wet parts were the brain which Sebastian handed to Gabrielle to throw in the fire and the eyes.

 

“Ok you can reap him now.”

 

Sebastian said and William rolled his eyes at Sebastian.

 

“Gee, you think I can reap him now?  He has been dead for over twenty minutes’ you idiot.”

 

William stated as he ran his scythe through the body collecting the records.

 

“By the way what are you doing associating with demons like this?”

 

William asked Sebastian hoping he had a good explanation of why.

 

“These guys are my friends.  Gabrielle is going to move to England with a bunch of demons who are now friends of mine to become demon Angels.  I don’t know if Drew and Frank are going to join us since for now they have to have a demon Patriarch here to keep order with the demons, but they are really great guys.  Lucifer threw the majority of these demons out of hell and out of major cities to here like a retirement home and they don’t like being stifled forever.  They earned the right to be happy and not die in Lucifer’s chamber to strengthen hell.’

“You don’t want Lucifer strengthening hell do you William?  I figure we get the word out and more will join the cause and get to live happy full lives rather than just be miserable with half ass souls and half lives.”

 

Sebastian said and the demons nodded to this.

 

“You are starting a movement?  Really Sebastian?  Now it is demon rights you want to fight for?  I thought you hated demons.”

 

William asked and Sebastian shrugged.

 

“I hate most demons as you well know William, but these guys are not your average demon.   They are rejected practically starving.  Plus, Drew and Frank have five cats.  Do you know what they will do to the cats if they have to go die for Lucifer?  They will end up going to a shelter and shelters kill cats who they can’t find homes for.  Calis won’t let me have more cats so I have to do this.”

 

Sebastian pleaded with William to understand.

 

“I knew there was a catch.  You are not saving demons, you are trying to save five felines.  You need some serious help Sebastian.”

 

William said with a hand on his hip looking at Sebastian in frustration.

 

“Even if these guys did not have cats I would want to help them William.  It is just a plus they do have cats.  I would still kill this vampire also even if they did not help me.’

“Do you know what his wife called Alex and Bob?  She called them little white vampire boys in a racist slur.  They threatened family William and then they had the nerve to want to feed on us after refusing blood to Alex and Bob.”

 

Sebastian said and William looked Sebastian in the eyes not believing………well believing……. Sebastian was complaining about this shit.

 

“I hate to tell you this Sebastian, but Alex and Bob are little white vampire boys to most of this community.  As you can see most of this area is full of dark skinned people.  You my love are the whitest boy out of them all.  You are alabaster in skin.’

“This is also their lands, this isn’t England.  This isn’t America either.  You cannot change centuries of culture and you cannot make people see you as anything except what you are.  To a vampire, you are food and to demons you are the enemy, normally.  This is far from normal Sebastian.’

“I commend you on trying to make more demons come to our side, but hopefully you are not planning on moving every demon in this city to England.  We are not a big country even if our Queen thinks we are.”

 

William said and when William said things like that it made Sebastian realize how stupid this all sounded.

 

“Well it will be a gradual thing as we have to train them if they do change.  If they don’t then they have to come back here to be with that bitch Lia.”

 

Sebastian stated and William sincerely hoped that bitch did stay here since he did not want her in England.  He would reap her himself if she showed up.

 

“Well you made a total mess of yourself and this room.  I suggest you four figure out what you are doing with the rest of this vampire.  The human puppet is already in the car.”

 

William said and Sebastian undid the chains from around the chair as he lifted the body up to get the identification taking out every penny of the money putting it in his pocket along with his credit cards leaving only his ID and some pocket change.

 

“Do you guys have lighter fluid?”

 

Sebastian asked and Drew got out a bottle of kerosene for his kerosene lamps.

 

“Will this work?”

 

Drew asked and Sebastian nodded as he went out with Gabrielle to go put the leftover body of Jamal into the trunk douse it with kerosene and set it on fire with the shoes.

 

“Give me that!”

 

William said in frustration as he poured the kerosene over the car over the human puppet as well as he shoved the human puppet over started up the car and took the lighter from Gabrielle.

 

“I will be back Sebastian.”

 

William stated as he raced with the car up the mountains to dump it over the top after setting the puppet and the torso of Jamal on fire.  Hopefully the car would blow up when it bottomed out at the bottom of the cliff.  Of course, the grenade William had in his pocket would insure a decent enough explosion.

 

“He is rather cold, isn’t he?”

 

Gabrielle said as he regarded Sebastian.

 

“That is why I love him.  William is the perfect reaper.”

 

Sebastian said as they went inside to help clean up the mess putting all remains of Jamal into the fireplace except the skull which sure enough looked like it was regrowing those fangs.

 

“So, can I see the cats now?”

 

Sebastian asked Drew and Frank as they opened their bedroom door.  All the cats were hiding right now, but Sebastian was determined to find them all.  Sebastian crawled on the floor looking under the bed seeing little eyes looking back at him as he coaxed two of them out.  Then he sat on the floor petting them like a happy child.

 

“You know Sebastian you are lucky you have powerful friends since if you were alone all three of us would rape you especially with you crawling around on all fours like you are asking for it.”

 

Gabrielle said with Drew trying not to drool at Sebastian when he was bending over and Frank wondering honestly why they had not raped him yet.  He certainly was beautiful.

 

“And if you tried, I would kill all three of you.   Still, I don’t blame you for being honest.”

 

Sebastian said as he petted the cats falling in love with them since they were so perfect plus they were purring on his lap.

 

“And how would you kill three ancient demons young man?”

 

Gabrielle asked as he sat down next to Sebastian curious on how he would have done so.

 

“With my bare hands as I have killed several of your kind.  Why have you changed your mind on being my friend?”

 

Sebastian asked and Gabrielle smirked.

 

“No, I haven’t changed my mind.  I am just wondering about your technique as we are not slow I assure you.”

 

Gabrielle said as he petted the cat on Sebastian’s leg.

 

“Well it isn’t really a technique per say, it is basically tear off whatever limb is closest to me and work my way from there.   As a demon Angel, I am twice as strong as I used to be if not more so and I am nearly as fast as an Archangel.”

 

Gabrielle nodded as he wanted this power.

 

“How does one fall in love Sebastian?”

 

Gabrielle asked and Sebastian really did not know the answer to that question.

 

“I don’t know.  I just felt it with Calis.  The second I met Calis, I found my perfect soul, my very last meal as a demon.  Calis is perfect and if perfection had a picture attached to it, Calis’s face would be the image one would see.’

“Calis when he hates, he truly hates, he is bitter in some ways still, angry with me constantly, and when he feels something it is a magnificent thing to witness.  Calis never does anything half assed even when he was human like some humans did.  Calis is the only person in this world who could kill a cat and I would still love him.’

“Calis is a prim, proper Englishman.  He is well behaved and every little thing he does has a purpose.  I can watch Calis for hours and never get bored.  When he sleeps, his soul speaks to mine and when he wakes, he is the most adorable thing on the face of the earth.  Calis is beautiful and I love no other like I love him nor will I.  I am and will be forever completely in love with my tiny husband.’

“I’m also however, very much a demon who is also a lying, backstabbing, cheating, murderous villainous slut who lives to piss off my husband.  He thought I was merely going to torture Jamal not kill him so he will be slightly pissed at me, but once he sees this skull hopefully he will forgive me.  If not, he will kill me and I will die a most heinous death.  More than likely my death will include the fixing of all my cats.”

 

Sebastian said with Gabrielle chuckling since what could a baby demon Angel do to a man like Sebastian really?  The child was tiny and helpless looking.  The boy was certainly beautiful as Sebastian said and adorable, but he was a weak little thing who really could not hurt a fly.  Of course, Sebastian mentioned that Calis could be evil and it made Gabrielle wonder how truly evil the child could be when he was a mere baby even to most young demons.

 

It was then a loud boom was heard outside with Sebastian figuring that was William finishing his work.  William never did anything half assed either.

 

“William must be done.”

 

Sebastian said and Gabrielle smiled.

 

“Sounds like a grenade went off not just a car getting totaled.”

 

Frank stated and Drew went in the room to get the rest of the cats out from under the bed so Sebastian could see them.

 

“It probably was a grenade.  William does not do anything half assed either although Kingsly is much more entertaining to watch when he goes crazy.  William is much less vocal, but I love him as well.  If he would not end you for touching him, he is the one that would be the one to rape as he is damn good in bed with a very sexy body.”

 

Sebastian said as Gabrielle’s eyes lit up.

 

“Your mate allows you others?”

 

Gabrielle asked with Drew and Frank also liking that news.

 

“He allows me only a few males by his rules only.   Calis can be truly evil and if I fuck around on him he will make my life a living hell especially if it is not someone he approves of.  However, there is also the fact I apparently smell bad when I do cheat so I am trying to avoid that problem.  Calis swore if I cheat he would make me his whore and have people pay for my services.  I may be a slut, but I do have a little self-respect and I choose who I sleep with as well as the fact I don’t do it for money.  There is only one I want to sleep with just once and that is Marcus to see how good he is.  He is a vampire that I really like and he is beautiful.  Marcus is the perfect vampire and a great conversationalist.  He is an ancient vampire as well and a consort to my Calis’ tiny girlfriend Stephanie.’

“I know Calis and he will want to have sex with Stephanie again since she is his size even though he denies it.  Stephanie was changed into a vampire at thirteen-years of age and is a beautiful little thing.  It is rare for Calis to find anyone he can relate to completely like he can with Stephanie.  Eventually she will worm her way into his heart and he will fall in love with her as well which means for me I can have Marcus while Calis is busy entertaining Stephanie.”

 

Gabrielle wondered if he couldn’t talk Calis into allowing him a night with Sebastian.  The things he could show to a young gorgeous thing like Sebastian made him want the young man pretty damn badly.

 

“How long are you going to be in town?”

 

Drew asked thinking the same thing as Gabrielle.  If he could talk this Calis into allowing him and his mate a night with Sebastian it would be most excellent.

 

“A week total.  We have to remove some nasty spells from the city with Kirkland’s help.  I want to see these spells personally as they are said to be quite ancient and thus I look forward to learning more about them.  We don’t want Kirkland scrying for spells again as it makes him very ill.”

 

Sebastian said as Drew got the other three cats out from under the bed as Sebastian met each one petting them as well as finding out more about their Masters as well as Gabrielle.  Sebastian always listened to cats since they never lied to him.  So far, he was happy that these demons were decent people although as it was known a demon was still a demon who could turn on you in a heartbeat.

 

“Well, we would like to help.  We may know how to also remove these spells plus insure that General Kirkland does not over extend himself.  Removing spells does take a lot out of a demon especially ancient ones.”

 

Gabrielle said and Frank came in to sit with the other men holding one of his cats.

 

“Well hopefully we can get this done rather quickly.  We do have a family at home to care for and my children do miss us when we are away.  Pierce being a handicapped child needs more attention than the others although Sidney is mute so she will also need more attention.  We need to work with Sidney on more complex forms of sign language.  I plan on using it as a game to teach her more that way and make it fun for everyone.”

 

Sebastian did miss Pierce when they were away from the child.

 

“Are these children human?”

 

Frank asked since he and Drew raised human children before.

 

“No, they are Angels.  All of the children we raised are Angels other than our first human child Miles who is long dead, and now we have Jerry and Davon two human teenage boys.  Davon will be turning into a vampire though so he won’t be human after he reaches a certain age.  Jerry is more William’s son now than ours although we raise all the kids together.  William has two toddlers Melody and Miles who are little cherubs and they are fun.  The two like to torment my cats, but for the most part are perfect little Angels.”

 

Sebastian said as he took the two cats from Drew getting to know them also.  Sebastian was deliriously happy right now although he did miss Belle terribly already.  Belle was his best friend as far as cats went and he wanted so much to keep that big cat.  It sucked she was in a rescue center far away from him.  Having four cats on his lap though made him happy as he petted each one and listened to both the cats and the demons holding conversations with both.

 

There was a knock on the door and Drew went to answer as William had returned to talk to Sebastian.  William really did not care for the fact Sebastian was associating with demons again even if they wanted to become demon Angels.  These ancient demons were still demons and not to be trusted.

 

“So, my rental car, is there anything left of it?”

 

Gabrielle asked William who looked at Sebastian who had four cats on his lap all purring looking like a little child in his ridiculous state.

 

“Not much is left of it as I used a grenade to blow it up after pushing it off the cliff.  I had to wait for most of the vampire’s body to burn since you four left so much of it.”

 

William said as he sat down next to Sebastian who was so focused on the cats he could care less about anything else right now.

 

“Sebastian, I know you are happy right now, but you do need to get back to Calis and take care of your responsibilities.  Come, I will walk you back.”

 

William stated as he made Sebastian put the cats on the floor from his lap which made Sebastian sad again since he was not ready to leave yet since he had not pet them all.  Frank still had the other cat in his arms.

 

“I will walk a while with you two.  I am going to head home and my home is on the way to your hotel.”

 

Gabrielle said as he said his goodbyes to Drew and Frank who told Sebastian he was welcome to come visit them any time.

 

Sebastian walked with the skull of Jamal in hand really hoping Calis would not be pissed at him for killing the stupid vampire.  The guy had asked for it and Sebastian knew that even if he had not been a part of Jamal’s death this would have happened anyway other than cutting out the skull as demons had no real use for it.  They simply would have crushed it and burned it with the rest of Jamal.

 

“Well this is my stop.  I will call you tomorrow morning so don’t go removing those spells without me especially if we have to destroy any public property here in the city.  In my old man form, I am the mayor of this city and I have pull with the demon police.”

 

Gabrielle said as he waved goodbye and walked away to go home.

 

“Sebastian what the hell are you doing hanging out with demons?  Are you trying to get raped and killed?”

 

William finally asked after the demons were out of earshot.

 

“No, I would kill them if they tried.  I am merely taking care of a problem.  Jamal was a problem and thus now he is no longer an issue.  I also happen to like those demons as the cats told me that they are decent people.  Most of the demons here are rejects and don’t want war.  They are not like the scum demons in England and they had nothing to do with the death of my cat.”

 

Sebastian said as he did like these ancient demons.

 

“You are insane you know that?   These are still demons Sebastian.  Cats do not know if they would not rape you or kill you.  They may seem nice, but a demon is still a demon no matter where they live.  They are scum and the worst vermin to walk the earth as you well know.’

“You know I love you Sebastian, but you are really pushing your limits.  I can’t call my reapers to save your ass every time and I could not even tell the Grim Reaper about tonight since he would throw a fit if he knew you were making friends with a bunch of demons.’

“I did this for you, but you do have me on unauthorized overtime and I can get in deep shit for this.  What if that vampire was not on the to die list?  You are lucky I checked since if he was not to die this week you would have been in trouble.  I could still be in trouble.’

“You know I really don’t mind your killing vampires as I don’t like them very much either, but your job is to kill demons not befriend them.  Leon complains about Kirkland going out to try and get himself killed by educating young demons in things they don’t care about.  Do you really think these demons once they come to England and join up with you that they really want to find love to become demon Angels?  I guarantee they are merely leaving because you said they could have more souls from reaper lists in other places.  These demons are starving and any sign of salvation in any form will make them want to leave this place.  They basically come here to rot and die.’

“Your obsession with cats also is a problem.  You need to chill out with that.  I agree with Calis that you are not getting more cats.  You have more than enough and if it was my choice they would all be getting fixed not leaving a single one to be bred.  You are a cat hoarder and sixteen cats is a lot of cats Sebastian.  Calis truly spoils you.”

 

William said and Sebastian pouted since he did want to breed his cats.  He knew Richard would be picking the male kitten soon for him to breed the kittens he wanted for shows.  Sebastian was going to put his cats in cat shows just like Richard did.

 

After making sure Sebastian got to the hotel ok with no one following them, William left to go take care of these records so he could get on with the rest of his night.  William truly loved Sebastian, but thought he was completely nuts to go alone into a practical nest of demons by himself.  That was just stupid and reckless even with the Officer Angels protecting them it was foolish.

 

When Sebastian got inside the hotel, he went up to Zachary’s room first knocking.  Zachary was on the phone with Allen as Allen was in England lying on the bed not having anyone hold the phone to his ear this time since he wanted to talk to Zachary all night long.

 

Zachary told Allen to hold on for a minute to answer the door.  It was Sebastian and the first thing Sebastian asked was if Allen was on the phone in which he said he was.

 

“Let me talk to Allen, Zachary.”

 

Sebastian said as Zachary told Allen that Sebastian wanted to talk to him.  Allen did not mind although he already knew what Sebastian wanted.  Zachary told Allen Sebastian’s concern and Allen said there was nothing to be concerned over.  He just did not want anyone touching his stuff.

 

“Hello Allen.  We need to talk.  That suitcase of yours that Zachary has locked up has a spell on the lock and I cannot see what is in it.  I don’t want your things, but I do want to know what is in there since I will protect my family and if there is anything that should not be coming into my home I will throw that suitcase into the ocean in the deepest part to leave it to be destroyed not telling you where I threw it.”

 

Sebastian stated and Allen panicked.  He did not want that suitcase thrown in the ocean.  Figuring he better fess up he would tell Sebastian, but if Sebastian fucked with his stuff he would never forgive him.

 

“Do you speak the demon language still fluently?”

 

Allen asked since he was not alone.  He was in the bedroom with Benjamin who had wrapped towels around his chains and removed everything finding it amusing that the demon was wearing skin tight leather with hooker boots with the highest heels he had ever seen on boots.

 

“Of course.  I am part demon still.”

 

Sebastian said as Allen looked at Benjamin who he asked if he knew the ancient demon language which the man did not.  That was good since what he had to say needed to stay between him and Sebastian.

 

“Don’t tell anyone this or I will never speak to you again or trust you.  There are demon manuals in the suitcase that I do treasure I don’t want anyone to have, but there is also a very old spell book and a curse I am working on.  I plan to kill Lia permanently putting her in an orb of my own using her to gain power as she had used me stealing souls from me whenever she could.  I don’t know how certain powers work with demon Angels, but for demons this power is supposed to enhance us like it does for hell.  If it works on Lia, I am going to use it to also trap the souls of her friends who laughed at my suffering.  It is basically taking the chamber in hell and doing what it does with demons that are to die except rather than hell getting them, I will get them.’

“It is a complex spell I have been working on it for a long time.  I need time to work on it and since your kind hates most demons I figure I can use a demon or two as a guinea pig to test it out on.  I plan on becoming a demon Angel since I cannot kill my mate until I am unmated from her.  However, if you help me with this I will give you and the others your own orbs.  No matter what happens to me, I plan on killing Lia in the most painful way possible.  No one will stop me in this.’

“I’ve already got a plan to fall in love with Zachary.  So far, I feel something for him or maybe it is just for his soul.  We are friends now, but that is going to change and soon.  He wants to be a consort and I may not be able to feed on his soul, but I can speak to it.  I can covet his soul and hopefully fall in love with his soul to see if that will work for me.’

“He feels resentment towards this Richard vampire guy and a lot of anger.  Almost hate towards Richard and I plan on using that to keep his soul as a rare one.  Normally as a demon I would kill this Richard for him, but I want to keep the bastard alive.  The more pain Zachary feels from his rejection the more he will come to my side.  When I am done, Zachary will worship me and then I can make him my mate after I fall in love with his soul.’

“I don’t know what your deal is with this Richard vampire, but don’t worry about Richard’s safety since he will be kept very safe.  I want Zachary’s hate to grow, but in order to do that I have to keep Richard alive.  Zachary feels used and dejected.  His soul is perfect and I am going to enjoy this so don’t fuck it up for me.’

“You were a demon once so understand what I am telling you.  Do not fuck with my shit and I will pay you back for your troubles tenfold.  Zachary is mine as well so don’t fuck with him.  He is perfect as he is and if you ruin him I will be pissed.  Let him feel hate since he will need that.  I need that in order to fall in love with him.  Your Calis had hate in his soul. I could taste it and you don’t want that fucked with.  It is a demon thing as you well know and I am still a fucking demon.  You are still a demon as far as I am concerned; you just grew white wings is all.”

 

Allen said in demon tongue as Sebastian contemplated this.  He was tempted to still throw Allen’s suitcase into the ocean and say fuck this shit.  He did not want a demon orb as he was powerful enough without carrying around some little bauble to try and possibly enhance what he already had.  Also, Richard was his friend and if Zachary hated him then that was fine since it was understandable some of Richard’s ex-boyfriends were going to feel that way, but if Zachary attacked Richard then there would be problems.

 

“Why should I do this for you?  I don’t want an orb.  You can have them if you really want them.  I don’t want your orbs or your demon manuals.  They are yours.  I do want to find out what is in that spell book and I am not too keen on curses even if I do understand you want vengeance.  My little husband just likes the stories in demon manuals however Gabrielle is willing to share his.  I am sure I can get Drew and Frank to share theirs as well.  As I said, my tiny husband likes the stories and all he wants to do with them is to read them once in a while.”

 

Sebastian said back in demon tongue.

 

“What does Gabrielle want with you?  He should be the new demon Patriarch; he is not leaving, is he?  If he leaves Lia will gain more power.”

 

Allen asked in panic since this was bad.

 

“He is leaving to come with me as is quite a few demons from this community.  I plan on accepting the ancient demons in my homeland helping them become demon Angels also.  Drew and Frank will be the temporary Patriarchs until they leave.  Lia is no longer in charge.  She was shown her place tonight and lied to her fellow demons.”

 

Sebastian said and Allen groaned in frustration.

 

“You started a movement in that community?  Are you insane?  Lia’s death is not going to be permanent and when she gets back she will be pissed.  Gabrielle is powerful enough to subdue her, but no other demon in the area will be after he leaves.  Drew might be able to, but that is a big might as he is not as old or as strong as Lia.  With Frank, Drew might be able to subdue Lia, but if they leave the community is screwed.”

 

Allen said since Gabrielle was the glue that kept the community together.  He was glad in some ways Gabrielle wanted to leave since he was good friends with the man, but at the same time this was bad for all his demon friends.

 

“I don’t care about Lia and whomever leaves this community to come live within England or other places is welcome to do so.  Lia can have this place and if she tries to cause trouble for me I will send Kingsly after her again as well as so many reapers she will wish she did not fuck with me.  Lia already made enemies within the grim reaper community so I am not concerned with her.  However, if she harms my new friends she will suffer I assure you.”

 

Sebastian said as he figured he might have to insure Drew and Frank left with them as well as made plans for as many people who did not want to be under Lia’s rule pack to leave.  Whatever happened to the community and to the vampires here after that fact was not his problem.

 

“Well I hope you know what the crap you are doing since if not there will be hell to pay.  Lucifer doesn’t like his plans fucked with and that community was one of his better plans.”

 

Sebastian just chuckled.

 

“You really think I care what Lucifer wants?  He can bite me for all I care.  I hate him and eventually when I get fast enough I am going to help to kill him.  You forget I am not on his side.  I am not really on anyone’s side.  I have my own reasons for wanting Lucifer to suffer and I will build up my army of demon Angels to defeat him and his armies.  All of England’s demon population fears me.  You don’t fuck with me or you have a bad day.  The worse I can make things for Lucifer the better.  He fucked with what was mine and hurt my tiny husband.  I will never forgive Lucifer for what he did and when I am powerful enough, I will destroy his whole world.”

 

Allen thought Sebastian was nuts.  Lucifer was not one to fuck with even if Allen did not want to go to hell.

 

“You need to take care Sebastian.  You may have powerful allies, but you are not invincible.  Even Archangels have limits and you are no Archangel.”

 

Allen said and Sebastian sighed as he knew he sounded cocky to an elder demon, but Sebastian knew he was going to be fine.  He would gain his army though and those that wanted to join him would gladly do so.  Gabrielle, Drew, and Frank were welcome to join him as well as any others who wanted to leave this place for a better life.  Hell did not want these demons so why not give them the real paradise they dreamed of?

 

“Don’t worry about me.  Worry about yourself Allen since right now you need to worry about a lot more than a curse to get your revenge.  You are putting a lot at stake in thinking falling in love with Zachary is going to be easy.  Falling in love is not easy and there is no guarantee it won’t all backfire on your ass.  I loved Calis for more than his soul although that was a start.  I knew Calis was perfect in the beginning.  You don’t have that connection yet.  All you are doing is trying to harvest a soul you can’t feed on.  You are not a true demon anymore; you are a vampire Allen.  You can’t think completely like a demon anymore since all you will do is find failure in that.’

“Try getting to know Zachary for more than his soul.”

 

Sebastian said and Allen pouted.

 

“But that is so boring.  Humans are completely boring unless you are talking to their souls.”

 

Allen said and Sebastian chuckled.

 

“Well if you don’t try you will never know what it is like to be in love.  Calis’s personality is what made me fall in love with him.  He does not think I am great, in fact some days he can’t stand me yet he loves me.  I get rejected more often than not by my own husband.  He is perfect just as he is.”

 

Allen definitely thought Sebastian was nuts.

 

“Your own husband rejects you?  If he did that to me, I would kill the little shit.”

 

Allen said and Sebastian laughed.

 

“You would not want to kill him since he is entertaining constantly and I did try to take his soul so it wasn’t like I was so enamored that I did not want my meal.  At least to me he is entertaining.  He pretends to be so strong and emotionally he is strong.  I could go on forever about my little husband, but I won’t.  When you feel love, you will know it Allen and you will love everything about the person you are with finding every little thing about them fascinating.’

“Still, when you get back to the house you will open that suitcase in front of me and show me everything.  If there is anything in there that I consider a threat, I will set your balls on fire and for a vampire that is pretty horrific.”

 

Sebastian said as he knew Allen well enough to know that if the demon lied to him he would indeed set his balls alight and after seeing a vampire burn he would not feel the slightest bit bad for him.

 

Sebastian soon gave the phone back to Zachary who did not understand a word Sebastian had said to Allen as it was all in demon speak which reminded Zachary of a record playing backwards with low rather Satanic sounds coming from it although not in any language he had known.  Sebastian’s eyes had been glowing red the whole time and Zachary swore he saw fangs when Sebastian spoke.  Long sharp nasty looking fangs that had serrated edges that looked like they would be extremely painful to be bitten by.

 

“He wants to talk to you now.  The suitcase will stay in the safe and you may take care of his things, but when he moves in with me I will see everything he is hiding since I will hurt him if he is lying to me.  I suggest you try to get some rest here soon since we do have an early morning.  Demons do not need sleep, but humans do.”

 

Sebastian said to Zachary before he handed him the phone.  Zachary nodded although his amount of sleep depended on when Allen got off the phone with him.  Zachary did not have many friends and he was having a great conversation with Allen before Sebastian interrupted him.

 

Leaving the room Sebastian closed the door behind him to go get Calis and head to bed himself as he wanted to make love to his little husband for most of the night.  When Sebastian left the room, he went straight to Kirkland and Leon’s room where he knocked and Kirkland answered double checking to see who it was with his powers first since he knew they were surrounded by demons.

 

Kirkland opened the door to find Sebastian waiting and Calis sitting watching television with Leon as they had paid for a movie to watch.  No matter what Sebastian wanted, Calis was going to finish this movie since he had never seen it before and wanted to finish it since they should be close to the end by now.

 

Sebastian came in the room and Kirkland noticed the skull in Sebastian’s hand.  He had hoped Sebastian had Jamal killed, but was a bit bummed not to have been able to see the whole thing.  He also noted something was missing at the front of the skull.

 

“You had him defanged?”

 

Kirkland asked and Sebastian nodded.

 

“Yes, Drew and Frank did most of the work.  Although the removal of the fangs was probably less painful than them cauterizing the wounds with a hot poker.”

 

Sebastian said and Calis finally looked over for a moment noting the skull in Sebastian’s hands as he was a bit upset Sebastian killed Jamal since he thought he was just going to maim him a bit.

 

“You had him killed?”

 

Calis asked a bit angrily since he thought that a bit extreme.

 

“The demons wanted that Calis.  If you want peace here, you have to sometimes go to the extreme.  Jamal insulted them and pushed away an ancient vampire from his own homeland.  They take things like that quite seriously.  This being a retirement community for demons they are very protective of elders be it human, demon, Angel, or vampire.  Jamal was young and stupid.  He got what he deserved as there is plenty of blood available to vampires who come here to visit as well as the vampires that live here.’

“I do have his wedding ring, money, and credit cards to give to his wife if I see her.  Either way, Bob and Alex are welcome to feed in the city now so they don’t have to feed only on us anymore although one of us should go with them when they do go feed to insure their protection.”

 

Sebastian said and Calis took the skull looking at it.

 

“You did not have to defang him and kill him.  This skull is almost useless as it is unless by some miracle the fangs grow back.  That is the only reason I might keep it.  I hope you killed him before removing his skull.  I know you can be sadistic, but Jamal did not deserve to suffer as much as you usually like to make your victims suffer.”

 

Calis said as he went back to watching the movie while holding the skull carefully in his hands.

 

“I think the fangs are growing back since Drew and Frank had pulled them out by the roots and there are roots again plus part of a fang growing if you notice.  I also did take his skull while he was alive Calis.  I had to get it in pristine shape and if I was too kind the demons would have called me soft.  If I am to gain some trust with them, I cannot be kind.”

 

Calis frowned as he did not like that Sebastian was trying to gain trust with demons.

 

“So, I take it you are adopting this Drew and Frank as well.  We really don’t have room for all your new friends Sebastian.  My home is not part of the retirement program for demons.”

 

Calis said and Sebastian smiled sitting next to his tiny husband.

 

“Actually, most of the demons here will be leaving to move around us in England.  I plan on pushing out the demon scum of England and replacing them with demons I like plus helping them to change into demon Angels.  I will have my army Calis.”

 

Sebastian said and Calis rolled his eyes.

 

“You don’t have the patience to be a demon Angel General Sebastian.  You should let Kirkland be the one to take over their training.”

 

Sebastian agreed with that for the most part, but eventually with training he too would become a General.

 

“I just need further training Calis.  I will be a demon Angel General someday.  That is why when we return, Christian and I will be going to heaven for further training to become Officer Angels.  It will be a three-week process with orientation and hell weeks.  Assume I am going to be completely worn out when I return with Christian most likely sleeping for a few days since we will be getting no sleep for two weeks straight.”

 

Sebastian said and Calis nodded as he waited for the movie to finish.  Calis told Leon he was free to rent another movie if he wanted to while here since it was going to be rather boring other than removing spells.

 

“Don’t worry Calis, I will train Sebastian well.  He is right though about killing Jamal.  One cannot be seen as weak especially in front of the enemy.  Our best bet is to take as many demons that will trust us to change them into demon Angels by teaching them what to do for the change to take place.  The more demon Angels we have around us the better as we can train them to follow our commands.  Many of them will not follow Sebastian right away or me since he is young and I am young looking.  However, when we show them our power they will follow us.”

 

Kirkland did have a plan for getting these elder demons to follow his lead.  He would need the Archangels’ help, but with their guidance they would have a full army of demon Angels to help fight Lucifer.

 

While Calis watched his movie, Sebastian sat with his tiny husband hoping the movie would be done soon.  From Calis’ thoughts the movie would be over with in a half hour or less.

 

Meanwhile, Zachary was busy talking to Allen.  Allen could not sleep and planned on staying up all night talking to Zachary.

 

“Hey Zachary, now that Sebastian is gone do me a favor and get that suitcase.”

 

Allen said and Zachary did as he was told opening the safe pulling out the suitcase.

 

“Ok I have it.  Why do you want me to get it by the way?”

 

Zachary asked and Allen smiled as he had a plan for one thing in his suitcase.

 

“I have a task for you.  It is no big deal to do this either.  No one should say anything about what I am going to have you do.  I just want you to take something out of my suitcase and put it with your stuff.  It isn’t anything harmful I swear to you.  It is just something I don’t want to break in my suitcase and you can put it with your fragile things to take on the plane with you when you leave.’

“Just put the phone by the suitcase and I will take off the spell plus unlock my suitcase.  When the lock opens get on the phone with me again.”

 

Allen said and Zachary did as he was told as Allen did something and the suitcase lock popped open.

 

“Ok, it is unlocked.”

 

Zachary opened the suitcase.

 

“Good now look towards the left side of my suitcase.  There should be a bottle filled with liquid in there next to my red shirt wrapped up in cloth.”

 

Zachary got the bottle which was filled with something clear like water.

 

“I got the bottle.  I did not even know you had a bottle of anything in there when you packed.  Then again you packed so fast that I did not get the chance to see everything you put in there.”

 

Zachary said surprised there was indeed a bottle in there of anything since all Zachary recalled Allen packed was books, papers, and clothes.

 

“Well it was mainly papers, books, and clothes.  However, in my socks I also have glass balls.  I don’t care if Sebastian sees the rest of this shit, but that bottle I want you to keep on you since it is demonic holy water.  This water was blessed by Gabrielle for me and it is part of a spell that I am going to place on Lia.  It isn’t so much that I care that Sebastian sees this as I don’t want the bottle to break.’

“Put it with your fragile things and wrap it good to keep it from breaking.  I would have you also take the glass balls to put them with your things, but I think they will be safe enough.  I don’t want that jar leaking on my shit.  Don’t let it leak on your stuff either since it will ruin your things.  I put the lid on tight, but you might want to check it.”

 

Allen said and Zachary found he could not have tightened the jar any more than Allen had.  Wrapping the jar in the cloth that Allen had it in, Zachary put it in his bag that would go with him on the plane.  He never put his fragile stuff in his suitcases, but rather put it in a duffle bag.

 

“Ok I just wrapped it with your cloth you had it wrapped in and I am putting it in my duffle with the few clothes I brought with me and my camera bag.”

 

Allen breathed easier.  That demonic holy water was part of his curse and it was strongest when it came from this community as it soaked in all the evil within the area.

 

“Good.  Now go to my suitcase and close it.  Put the phone by the lock after you lock it up and wait for at least two minutes before putting it away again and picking up the phone.  I am going to put the spell back on it.”

 

Allen said and Zachary did as he was told.  The suitcase now had the spell back on it and after Allen was done he had Zachary put the suitcase in his safe locking it back up.

 

“Ok it is locked in the safe again.”

 

Zachary said with Allen feeling much better now.  At least his balls would not be set on fire since that did not sound fun.

 

“Zachary tell me, do you have the pictures of Sebastian and Calis making love still?”

 

Allen asked and Zachary wondered why Allen was asking since he did have them.

 

“I do, why?”

 

Zachary asked and Allen thought about things these days.  He could use those photos to ensure that Sebastian did not fuck with him and his shit.  Sebastian could be screwed if anyone found out he was having sex plus was married to a thirteen-year-old boy even if Calis was over a hundred years old.

 

“Keep copies of them on your computer after you unload them from your camera.  We may need them later.  Like I said don’t trust anyone and considering Calis is considered a minor to most people we might be able to use those photos to keep Sebastian from doing anything stupid like trying to stop me from killing Lia and making you my consort.”

 

Allen said and Zachary frowned.  He did not really like blackmail and did not do photos to cause harm to anyone.

 

“Allen, I don’t like using blackmail on people and these photos are very private for Sebastian and Calis.  I don’t think I should hang onto them after I develop them for Calis.  I plan to keep a few photos for myself, but not ones of them making love in the water.  I just did that as a way to use up my film.  I planned on burning that film when I was done with it since they are my friends too.”

 

Allen thought about something.

 

“Well don’t get rid of that film since what if they decide they don’t want you to be my consort?  You still want to be my consort, don’t you?”

 

Allen asked as he played on Zachary’s feelings knowing how badly Zachary wanted to be a vampire.

 

“I want to be your consort, but you don’t love me.  I thought vampires only made consorts from people they loved.  I mean you don’t know me and we are talking about spending forever together since consorts according to Stephen are consorts for life to their vampire Masters.”

 

Zachary said since he was worried.  He did not want to be together forever with a man who did not love him.  That was just asking to be miserable.

 

“Don’t worry about the falling in love part of this Zachary.  We are working towards that, right?  I mean you want to be my friend first which is fine, but hopefully you will see me as more than that.  I want us to be together forever and friends can be together forever and be happy.  We don’t have to be in love although that is the final goal.’

“You said you used film for this photo shoot, however I thought you used a digital camera for your photos.  Don’t you have your digital with you?”

 

Allen asked as he thought at least with a digital he would not have to worry about film getting destroyed or not coming out.

 

“For my professional shots, I use my camera with film although I also took a few with my digital camera as well.  Most of the day shots I took with my digital.  However soon photos with film will be obsolete and everything will be digital.  I just prefer to develop my own film.  The pictures come out better that way and for professional shots most professionals still use film.”

 

Zachary said and Allen thought about that finding it to be interesting.  The only problem with film was it tended to ruin if it was hit by direct light.

 

“So, did you take night shots with your digital of Sebastian and Calis also?”

 

Allen asked since he wondered if he did.

 

“No, I took all the shots of them with my film camera.  Like I said, it was mainly to waste film.”

 

Zachary said and Allen frowned at that.

 

“Well keep that film just in case.  I doubt we will need it, but you never know.  You do know it is forbidden for a demon Sebastian’s age to mate a demon Calis’s age, don’t you?  Really the demons here are being very lenient with him since mating a baby demon is forbidden.”

 

Allen said and Zachary did not know that.  He thought it odd a man of Sebastian’s age was with a boy of Calis’s age, but Calis said he was over a hundred years old.  That was plenty old enough to be married to his husband.

 

“I wasn’t aware of that.  Calis is over a hundred years old though so he is technically an adult in my mind.”

 

Zachary stated and Allen chuckled.

 

“A hundred-year-old demon is still an infant.  Kirkland’s Leon is also close to being a baby demon.  I don’t know why these ancient demons are doing the forbidden, but they are.  I am surprised no one is getting on them about it and punishing them.  Then again, they have powerful allies which is the only reason the demons are being so cordial.  If it were not for the reapers and Angels protecting them, demons would rape all four of them plus rip off their wings after killing them slowly and painfully.  Of course, with Sebastian and Leon since they are so pretty they would most likely keep them around for a while.’

“You have to understand demons are not nice creatures.  We are cruel, calculating beings.  A demon Angel is just a demon with white wings.  They are still cruel and calculating as well as evil.  They may seem nice, but they are not.”

 

Zachary wondered about Allen then since he was warning him again not to trust demons yet he was one.

 

“So where does that leave me with you?  I mean you are demon and vampire.”

 

Zachary asked and Allen sighed since in warning Zachary he was also putting himself in a bad place.

 

“Zachary, I can be cruel and evil.  I did tell you that once.  You don’t want me being myself around you so I am trying to change.  I am also a vampire now which means I am closer to being a human than even a demon Angel.  Sure, I drink blood and so far, am killing livestock, but technically I am more vampire than demon which means more human.  I don’t like it, but it is better than some things I could be.’

“Those I trust I truly trust and I don’t fuck around with them.  I trust you.  You have not lied to me and technically you are a decent enough human.  I want to travel and you travel the world with your job.  I want to actually get out and do things without having a Master to have to obey.’

“Technically, I will be your Master when you become my consort which will be a new thing for me.  Demons make good servants and you will find me probably cleaning everything even when we travel.  I like clean and I like doing certain things you might find odd.’

“Demons are usually good butlers and that is what I was for many years.  We have also been servants to Lords as advisors, but mainly as bodyguards until we came to take the soul of the person we made the contract with.  Then we kill our Masters.”

 

Zachary wondered if Allen was a demon if he would have killed him if he had agreed to a contract with him.  They had talked about it.

 

“So, if you had a contract with me you would have killed me eventually?”

 

Zachary asked and Allen smiled thinking about it.

 

“I only would make a contract with you if I fell in love with you.  I told you that before.  If I fall in love with you, I will make a contract and we will become Angels.  I will be a demon Angel and you will be a regular Angel with some demonic influence so you would be tainted which means in heaven we would be together even after death.”

 

Allen said and Zachary swallowed hard.  He did not want to die.

 

“I don’t know how it works with vampires Zachary, but I don’t think I have to kill you if we fall in love since I won’t be taking your soul.  I can’t eat souls anymore so it would be pointless for me to kill you.”

 

Allen was not sure how this was supposed to work, but he needed to find out.

 

“What if we never fall in love?  I mean I want to fall in love, but my heart is still broken from Richard’s rejection not to mention the lovers who pretty much used me as a one-night stand.  I want more than just sex out of a relationship and you are a demon.  We have nothing in common except your desire to travel more.  I mean you have to have more interesting people to be with than me.”

 

Zachary said feeling somewhat dejected.

 

“Zachary stop the self-pity.  It is disgusting.  If we are going to make this work you have to be a bit more confident.  Feel hate for those people who used you, but don’t take it like you did anything to deserve it.’

“Besides sex with a demon is the best sex you will ever have.  I want you to think of having sex with me and using me to vent your frustrations with.  I don’t mind being used and I like anger.  Remember, Richard used you.  He took your virginity from you rather than let you fall in love with someone else and he promised you nothing as he took it.  He also drank your blood with no care to your feelings.  He still uses you as a donor.  You are basically his feeding tube not a person.”

 

Allen said and Zachary did not want to think that way.

 

“But he told me he loves me.  He still tells me he loves me, but he can’t be with me in the way I want him to be.”

 

Zachary stated and Allen laughed.

 

“Zachary, you are not a child.  Grow up a bit and realize he used you.  He says those things so you won’t hate him.  If you love him, then he can continue using you.  If he said he hated you, would you still love him?  I highly doubt it.  When one is desperate for love of any kind, they will do almost anything to get it.’

“A vampire needs blood to live so they will tell you anything also to insure they survive.  If Richard really loved you, he would have made you his consort and not just used you for sex and blood.  See it for what it really is.  He uses people and from what you said you were a young boy.  How old were you?  Sixteen when he took your virginity?”

 

Allen asked and Zachary actually lied about his age telling Richard he was sixteen when he was really only fifteen.

 

“I was actually only fifteen.  I lied to Richard to pretend to be older.”

 

Allen smirked since this meant Zachary had also been a minor when Richard used him.  This was going to be so easy.

 

“You were basically a baby when he used you then.  And you are thirty now still mooning over a man who used you.  Richard is a prick for touching you even if you wanted it.  He knew you were a virgin and young.  He also knew you would fall in love with him.  You should hate him; I know I would if I were you.”

 

Allen said and Zachary felt tears pour down his face.

 

“I don’t want to hate him!  I don’t like hating anyone!  I know he used me and I know I was just another conquest for him!  He never lied to me about his feelings!”

 

Zachary sobbed out as he hated talking about this shit.

 

“Zachary, it was practically rape since you were a minor according to the law.  Even if it felt good it was wrong.  You were a child and he was a very old vampire at least that is what you told me.  He is an ancient vampire acting like a demon.  Using young boys and feeding on them like a leech.  I could forgive him for feeding since he has to, but for using you I know I would never forgive him.  You don’t proclaim you love someone to use them up and throw them away.”

 

Zachary felt angry since he did not want to think it was rape.  He had wanted it; he knew he did.

 

“Richard is not a leech!  He did not rape me!  He was kind to me when no one else was!”

 

Zachary cried emphatically as he would defend Richard.

 

“Zachary, I hate to tell you this, but technically having sex with a minor is considered statutory rape.  Richard is a pedophile.  He sleeps with young boys and uses them.  You are not the first or the last boy he has used.  He made you feel like you were his one and only love for how many nights before he left to find another?  How many times did he use you?”

 

Allen asked and Zachary did not want to think about that.

 

“We had sex only a few times.  After he took my virginity I did not see him for over a month and then he came back for a few days than I did not see him again for several months when he said he would give me more money plus call me.  We talk mostly by internet and letters although on occasion he calls me.”

 

Zachary said as he tried to control his tears.

 

“So, he basically used you in the worst way.  He took your virginity and left you to suffer after the fact.  Then he had the steel nerve to come back for more only to take off again to leave you on your own until he figured he could play the friend role since he had no intention after that of being with you.  He also paid you like a whore for taking something he had no right to take.”

 

Zachary did not want to think of things being that way.

 

“How much money does he give you for something you can never get back?  A million, two million?  A couple thousand a month?  It is still money to pay for what he did.  There isn’t enough money in the world to make up for using someone and taking something from someone that they had no right to take.’

“How much money do you make now?  I mean you ought to be making enough to survive without his money.”

 

Allen asked and Zachary sighed as he sat on the bed trying to ignore his tears.

 

“He pays me five thousand a month for the rest of my life unless I need more.  It is enough to add to my money for paying for travel and my condo.  I can basically do whatever I want with the money he gives me.”

 

Zachary said and tried not to think of it as whore money.

 

“Stop taking his money.  I will give you money if you really need it.  I can make money easy.”

 

Allen said since Zachary did not need money from Richard.

 

“I can’t ask you to pay my way.  We don’t even know each other Allen.”

 

Zachary said as for now he would keep taking Richard’s money since he did need it for his job otherwise he would have to take a second job and he liked to travel.

 

“We do know each other better than you think Zachary.  I was used by my Masters for sex and whatever else they wanted.  I was tortured and killed protecting my Masters several times.  I was given money, had it thrown at me after being fucked by my Masters’ friends at their orders.  I am a demon who is used to being used.  It is nothing to me.’

“I don’t worry about money since I can make it and now I won’t have a Master well except for you if we make a contract if I fall in love with you.  However, as my consort I will be your Master and I won’t ask you to do things you should not or would not do.’

“I will never ask you for anything you cannot give me.  Zachary tell me your hopes and dreams.  You know many of mine.  Tell me what you really want in life.  What is your deepest wish?”

 

Allen asked and Zachary wasn’t sure since he had many dreams and hopes.  His deepest wish was for someone to love him not just pretend to love him, but to really love him.

 

Zachary stayed up all night long talking to Allen.  Allen had excused himself to go feed, but told Zachary to stay on the phone as after he fed he would be back.  Zachary realized he had not even brushed his teeth or changed his clothes.  Figuring he had a few minutes to do this while Allen was feeding, Zachary went into the bathroom, pulled out his bathroom bag and took care of his hygiene including putting deodorant on then went into the room changing his shirt, pants, and socks figuring he would take a shower later.

 

Benjamin ignored Allen since he had kept him up all night talking to his boyfriend on the phone like a pathetic love sick girl.  Benjamin could go without sleep, but that wasn’t the point.  Zachary was human and he was going to have one hell of a day with not getting any sleep.

 

Richard cooed over Allen like a looney and Peter tried to get Richard to let Allen alone.  They also needed to go feed as Stephen and Johnathan were probably starving.  Allen wanted Richard to leave him the fuck alone especially after what he did to Zachary.  Richard was a demon vampire except he was gayer than any man Allen ever met and a complete nutcase.  Allen really could not see what Zachary saw in Richard other than the man was very good looking although this other vampire Tora was more Allen’s cup of tea.  Tora was beautiful and his consort was stunning.  Constantine though was sweet and Allen did not like sweet.  Most of the vampires were gorgeous creatures, but none interested him as far as falling in love with any of them.

 

After a few minutes of being coddled to death by Richard, Allen demanded to be taken back to his bedroom where he could talk to Zachary who was probably wondering if he was ever coming back to talk to him on the phone.  Richard and Stephanie wanted Allen to get to know everyone and learn the rules, but Allen could care less about this shit as he wanted to talk to Zachary.

 

Finally, Benjamin got Allen’s phone from the bedroom and had Richard hold it up to his ear so he could talk to Zachary.  Peter brought over a cup of cow’s blood for Richard to drink telling Richard’s consorts to go feed as he sent them out in the limousine to go find food in town.

 

“Zachary, are you there?”

 

Allen asked as Richard and the other vampires visited while Allen tried to talk to Zachary.

 

“Yes, I am here.  I had to go to the bathroom to deal with some things and change my clothes.”

 

Zachary said as he sat on the bed that was still made that he had been talking to Allen all night long.

 

“Why did you wear your other clothes to bed?  You should have just gone naked.  I would have understood.  Hell, if I was alone I would not wear clothes, well except my demon ones.”

 

Allen said and Zachary smiled.

 

“I thought about hanging out in my boxers, but I really did not expect to be talking all night.  I’m glad we did though.”

 

Allen frowned as he was surrounded by people.

 

“Well I am stuck with the whole coven here I think.  I am not used to being around this many vampires all at once.  They want to teach me shit.  Apparently, there are rules to being a vampire.  I have been fed on by enough of them I know they don’t try to kill anyone so that makes sense although they couldn’t kill a demon unless they are a newborn.’

“I have been around vampires long enough to know most of the shit they want to teach me. I already know most of this crap as a demon since we do much of the same shit.  Stay in the shadows most of the time, feed on humans with spells, and control one’s feeding.  I know better spells to subdue a human than the ones they are trying to give me.  I am not stupid; I am an ancient demon after all.”

 

Zachary chuckled as he could tell Allen was irritated at the fact he was being treated as a novice, but he was somewhat new to the life of a vampire.

 

“Well, attempt listening to some of it.  I mean you are stuck there for however long they feel it is necessary.  I just hope I did not bore you since we mainly talked about me.  I have a lot of hopes and dreams, but you know my real wish as pathetic as that is.”

 

Allen smiled since it wasn’t that pathetic.

 

“Actually, it isn’t that bad.  Most humans want what you do.  I still don’t get love or understand it so I am figuring this out myself.  I like talking to you though since most humans don’t bother to talk much to demons.  We are their servants not their friends.”

 

Allen said and Zachary felt better about that.

 

“Well, I am not the kind of person to turn down a friend and to talk down to anyone.  I will however try not to be so sickeningly sweet as you so put it.  You will have to help me with that since I try to be nice to people.  It is what I do since my job is to make people smile for the camera.”

 

Allen could respect that.

 

“I prefer to insult people and cause hell.  I don’t like being nice too much.  Like I said demons are not nice people.  We are assholes for the most part.’

“God, I think they are having a fricking family reunion here as every fucking vampire from every corner of the planet is here I swear it and unlike Jamaica they only have one black vampire here besides Benjamin.  He is huge compared the vampires in Jamaica and his consort is a little tiny thing.  He said he is from Africa, he must be the one you talked about going to see for that photo shoot with all the animals.’

“The tiny vampire is in charge of all of these people and she is like Calis, only thirteen when she was changed.  Her consort is gorgeous, but another pedophile.  What the hell is it with grown men fucking these little kids?  I know I am a demon so it shouldn’t bug me, but it does.”

 

Allen asked as he looked around the room at all the people.  There were four young vampires that sat away from everyone talking amongst themselves that no one had introduced him to yet.  He had met everyone else though as Richard insisted.  Peter was the least friendly of them all, but he was rather blunt and to the point which Allen liked.

 

“I don’t agree with grown men having sex with kids, but I don’t think of Calis as a kid.  He acts like an old man in fact for someone who is looks like he is thirteen.  He is very prim and proper.  After a person reaches eighteen they are considered an adult in the human world although twenty-one is closer to being a full-grown adult.  If Stephanie is over a hundred years old, than she is plenty old enough to be married and old enough to have sex.  I consider them just dwarves who look young.”

 

Zachary said and Allen never thought of things that way as far as these kids went.

 

“Well I will ask Stephanie how old she is, but to me it seems weird.  They look like children to me and thus to me they seem much too young to be having sex.  Then again as I said Calis is considered a baby demon no matter what anyone thinks as demons live to be thousands of years old.  I am assuming Leon is also very young and Kirkland should be especially ashamed of himself for fucking around with a young demon like Leon.  I am just curious on why the demons are falling for these baby demons.   Amare’s consort is also very young.  Demetri’s Paxton is the youngest I have seen out of all these male vampires.”

 

Zachary really did not know why they were with such young people, but they must have their reasons.

 

“I don’t know Allen.  I am assuming that they have their reasons be it they are drawn to innocence as Richard had told me he was or there was something special about them.  You should ask and maybe that way you can find out.”

 

Zachary said and then there was a knock on his door.

 

“I will ask since this is driving me nuts.”

 

Zachary answered his door seeing Sebastian there with Calis.

 

“I have to go Allen.  Sebastian and Calis are here.”

 

Zachary said and Allen frowned since he did not want to hang up yet.

 

“So, what.  You can still talk to me.  You are just going to go get breakfast, right?  No big deal.  Just talk to me in between your meal time.”

 

Zachary sighed as he wanted to talk to Allen more, but his phone needed to be charged as well since the battery was low.

 

“Allen my phone battery is low.  I want to talk, but my phone is going to die here soon.”

 

Zachary said and Allen did a spell through the phone to insure Zachary’s phone was always charged to the fullest.

 

“Your phone should be charged now so no more excuses.  We can talk now for as long as you want to.  I am stuck chained up so keep talking to me.  This way I can also hear the conversations around you and find out what is going on out there.”

 

Allen said and Zachary checked his phone with it sure enough being fully charged.

 

“Well give me a minute to talk to Sebastian and Calis before I get back on the phone.”

 

Zachary stated and Allen waited.

 

“We are leaving for breakfast Zachary.  We figure since you are also new here you can help pick the restaurant this morning to go to.  Jamal had mentioned a few places before we killed him, but you being our guest and friend deserve to make some choices while here.  We figure until Kirkland is ready to remove each spell from the city we can look around, shop a bit, and you can take pictures of things and us.  This will be a mini vacation for us and hopefully for you.  I also want to pick up swim trunks so we can enjoy the beach.”

 

Calis said as Zachary thought this was a good plan.

 

“Ok I will bring my camera, just let me get my bag and I will be ready to go.”

 

Zachary went back for his camera bag which he slung on one shoulder with his digital camera in it.  There was just enough room in the safe for him to put his other camera, his laptop, and his film into it as he did so to protect them.

 

Soon Zachary was ready to go and although somewhat tired he was in a fairly good mood.  Sebastian thought it amusing that Zachary and Allen were still on the phone as the two had been up all night talking like little school girls.  Sebastian kept track of Zachary’s thoughts and what was going on since he did not trust Allen and thus last night after he left Zachary’s room he knew about the bottle of demonic holy water.  It was not a big deal to have it, but he knew that suitcase had opened last night as he used his powers to see inside of it from a distance finding that Allen had told the truth for the most part as there were old demon manuals and an old spell book along with papers with some odd notes on them.  There were also six glass balls wrapped in socks and a rather large vial of Angel blood with a quill for a demon manual Allen was writing.  Really there was nothing threatening that the demon needed to worry about so locking it up with a spell was kind of silly.

 

As soon as Zachary was out the door, he was back on the phone with Allen who was describing what all the vampires looked like to Zachary.   Zachary had met Tora and Constantine once so he knew who they were, but he was not familiar with the others.  Zachary had never been to one of Richard’s parties so he did not recognize many of the names.

 

Soon Benjamin took the phone away from Allen and told him he needed lessons so he could talk to Zachary later.  Allen wanted to fight that, but he was chained up.

 

“Allen will talk to you later Zachary.  He has lessons now and needs to get to know his vampire family better.”

 

Benjamin said to Zachary who told Benjamin to tell Allen he said goodbye and that he would wait for his call.

 

Allen was not happy he had to get off the phone with Zachary as he sat pouting with Richard kind of glad Allen was done talking since his hand was getting tired of holding the phone to Allen’s ear.  Allen would have been fine to have laid on the bed talking to Zachary, but the vampires wanted him to visit with them as Stephanie finally introduced Allen to the newest members of the coven.  The young vampires were originally from another coven, but came over to this one because of Craven’s dues he requested every month that they could not afford.

 

The first young vampire that Stephanie introduced him to was named Brian who was only fifteen when he became a newborn vampire and that was only twenty years ago.  He had short spiky blonde hair and had brown eyes.  He was very short for his age, but exceptionally strong.  Brian’s consort was a young woman by the name of Sierra.  Sierra was also very small and had been sixteen when she was changed into a consort.   Sierra had long auburn hair and tawny brown eyes.

 

The next vampire couple that Stephanie introduced Allen to was named Alfred who was eighteen when he became a newborn vampire.  Alfred had short light brown hair and hazel green eyes.  He also wore spectacles since his right eye had a stigmatism that even his vampire powers did not cure.  His consort was a young man by the name of Yuri who was sixteen when Alfred made him his consort.  Yuri had long platinum blonde hair and grey blue eyes.  Yuri was originally hailed from Russia according to Alfred, but knew nothing of his former life after he was turned.

 

Stephanie did not tell Allen that Yuri and Sierra were forced to be consorts since that was not important right now.  However, after the introductions lessons began with Benjamin and Stephanie explaining many things.  Peter also had part in training the new vampire who basically felt this all was stupid, but whatever.  Most of the lesson was on feeding and what was allowed.  Stephanie also showed Allen she could produce fire and that she did kill vampires who failed to follow the rules of their lifestyles.  Warnings were usually given, but it was a general rule that vampires were not to kill humans unless the humans were attacking them.

 

Supposedly, Allen was supposed to have a particular superpower beyond the normal vampire powers that all vampires had.  Peter could read minds and thus he showed Allen this skill.  Tora came over and showed Allen his ability to charm him which worked a little too well as now Allen was sporting a boner and in his tight leather clothing that was a part of his demon self.  Tora thought that was amusing as Allen swore when he got free of these chains he was going to rape that vampire for this shit.

 

After the lesson was done, Allen was bored again.  The vampires tried to talk to him, but he did not have much to say to any of them.  Benjamin finally figured out what Allen wanted as he carried Allen to the bedroom hitting the dial button to call Zachary.  Allen wanted to be where the action was and it wasn’t here.  Here there were the smells of cows and a ton of vampires he did not know or really care to know.

 

Zachary was walking towards the area where the first spell was with Sebastian, Kirkland, Calis, Leon, Bob, Alex, and Gabrielle when Allen was getting ready to call.  As mayor of the city, Gabrielle had the demon police block off the area they were going to in order to get rid of this first spell which happened to be right near one of the local shops that was getting ready to open their doors.  The police told the store owners that this area was going to be closed off for a few hours so their customers would have to go around the sealed off area to get to their shop.  The humans who ran the shop were a bit worried since they hoped they would not be closed for long as they depended on afternoon sales to support their family.  Being that it was a Wednesday, they sold more of their products on this day than any other as locals liked the handmade trinkets and things they created, but what sold most were their seashell decorated items and coral jewelry.

 

The spell was actually attached to the telephone pole next to the shop and was a spell that had been planted under it.  Normally Kirkland would have lifted the telephone pole out of the ground and grabbed the item under it to dispel this spell, but he would see if he could simply destroy the object without disrupting the harmony of the city or destroying the telephone pole let alone anything else around it.

 

“This is going to feel like a small earthquake when I am done, but hopefully this should take care of this little ancient spell.”

 

Kirkland said as he knelt down by the pole and put his hands on the ground next to it.  Chanting his spell, he ignored the sounds around him including Zachary’s phone going off as Allen was calling him again.

 

Zachary answered his phone and told Allen to hang on a minute as Kirkland was dispelling one of the spells right now.  Allen understood and listened to Kirkland’s chant knowing a bit of what this was.  The electronics might go haywire for a moment with this spell as it was a high frequency type of spell that destroyed any objects that might be underground made of glass.  Assuming it was an orb of some sort Allen waited for the high-pitched ringing noise to end.

 

The ground shook a bit and there were tremors from this spell Kirkland was doing as he focused on cracking and breaking the orb underground that was under this telephone pole.  Soon some small black smoke looking clouds came out of the ground under the telephone pole and Kirkland knew the spell was almost dissolved as once the light hit the small clouds they disappeared.

 

There was a small crack in the asphalt from Kirkland performing this spell, but when he was done all the black had left the area and the ground stopped shaking as all electronics went back to normal with Allen trying to listen to see if there was anything else going on.

 

“Well that was an easy one.  The next few won’t be as easy.  I will need to be at full power for the other six.”

 

Kirkland said as he stood up and dusted himself off.

 

“How is your energy level General?”

 

Gabrielle asked as he could tell Kirkland was a bit tired from the spell, but not doing too bad.

 

“I am doing fine.  However, the next one I am going to need all of my energy for.  You can free up your police now and allow these poor humans to get back to work since their little shop can’t afford to lose customers.”

 

Kirkland said as Bob and Alex decided to go into the little shop finding a few things to buy much to the happiness of the shop owners who were from the north side of the city in the poor district.

 

“More seashells?  Alex, I think you are turning into a mermaid.”

 

Calis teased Alex who smiled and blushed a bit.

 

“I love the ocean Calis.  It would be wonderful to be a merman and swim in the ocean constantly, but I would miss Bob and Pierce as well as all of you so perhaps it is best I do not have fins.”

 

Alex said as he wanted to swim again, but this time with trunks if they found a shop that sold them.  The speedos were just a bit too revealing to wear in public as far as Alex was concerned.  It was one thing when they had been on their little beach away from everyone to wear them, but to wear them on a public beach with so many people made Alex a bit uncomfortable.

 

“Well you would make for a sexy merman my love.”

 

Bob said as he kissed Alex who blushed even more.

 

“Calis, since there won’t be much to do for the rest of the day, it is your call.   We can visit the shops for a bit and buy swim trunks to enjoy the beach with or whatever you wish to do.  I know I want to at least pick up a few beach towels as I saw some nice ones at one of the more tourist type of shops.  I think they had swim trunks there as well as women’s swim wear, we could pick up some for the kids.  I think I want to introduce Pierce to swimming as it would be good for him with a couple of floaters.”

 

Alex suggested and Kirkland agreed with Alex since Pierce would like to probably swim around a bit at the pool at home.

 

“I think we should go to the shops and see what is around for swimwear.  We might as well enjoy the beach and get a bit of sun.  You both will probably need sunblock Alex and Bob.  Sebastian never burns or changes color as he has always been alabaster in skin.  I usually tan a bit, but my nose sometimes burns so I will need sunblock as well.”

 

Calis said and thus the group left for one of the shops in the more touristy part of the city.  There were not many tourists so it was kind of nice to be able to shop without a ton of people in the way.  Calis bought everyone swim trunks including ones for the kids, he also got swimsuits for the girls so Sidney, Kingsly, and Sven could have a suit letting Sebastian choose the sizes.  They even got trunks for Allen and Benjamin since they had the pool at the house.

 

Zachary was going to buy his own trunks, but Calis insisted on paying for all of them.  Zachary could buy himself a beach towel though.  Alex and Bob bought beach towels for themselves and the kids getting all the children at home beach towels including one for Calis.  Sebastian bought beach towels for Christian, Ashton, William, Kingsly, and himself.  Calis also bought sunblock for everyone who needed it.  Kirkland said he did not burn and Leon said he did not either so not to worry about them.  Zachary needed sunblock so he got some at a lower SPF level since he liked to tan a bit.

 

Gabrielle stated he would come back to meet them at the beach after he picked up his new rental car.

 

Taking their purchases to the hotel Calis got changed into his swim trunks as Sebastian helped him and used the sunblock on Calis putting extra on his nose as it tended to burn and the tops of his little ears.  Calis put on the flip flops that they bought at the store to walk to the beach in.  Sebastian also had on his trunks and flip flops grabbing their towels as they went out to meet with Alex and Bob first who were ready to go.  Then they went to Kirkland and Leon’s room to see the two were ready to go also with Kirkland flinging his beach towel over his shoulders almost like a cape.

 

Zachary told Allen what he was doing and that his only complaint was he had no one to put sunblock on his back.  Suddenly, Sebastian came over putting sunscreen on Zachary’s back and neck giving the man a bit of a massage as Zachary moaned into the phone making Allen feel slightly jealous.

 

“It sounds like Sebastian is doing more than putting sunblock on you Zachary.”

 

Allen said in his jealousy not liking anyone touching Zachary.

 

“He is massaging my back a bit.”

 

Zachary said as he was really enjoying this.

 

“Roll on your stomach and I will get your legs.”

 

Sebastian said and Zachary did as he was told with Allen fuming in some ways.

 

“Zachary, you better not be enjoying this that much!”

 

Allen growled out as Zachary was moaning in pleasure at the massaging hands.  Sebastian was smirking though as he knew he was pissing Allen off.  Sebastian also knew Allen could do nothing about this.

 

“Allen calm down he is just massaging my feet.  I would rather have you do it, but you are not here.  Besides Sebastian is merely my friend.”

 

Zachary said as Sebastian finished then went over to Calis making Calis lay down as he put sunscreen on his back and massaged Calis who was enjoying this thoroughly.  He also thought it rather funny that Allen was getting jealous for someone who did not know what love was.

 

“Is he done?”

 

Allen fumed as he did not like anyone touching what he considered his.

 

“Yes, he has been done now for a minute or two, I am just enjoying the sun now.”

 

Zachary said and Allen soon felt a bit better.

 

“Well don’t let them touch you so much.  Also, don’t fall asleep or you will burn.”

 

Allen said as he knew Zachary was probably tired.

 

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

 

Zachary stated with a small yawn.

 

“So, tell me about the beach you are on.  Is it the one by the hotel in town?  The really nice hotel with the restaurant underneath it?”

 

Allen asked and Zachary smiled doing his best to stay awake.

 

“Yes.  We are on the white sands with very few people here.   It is actually a bit cool today with a slight breeze.  I am hoping the sun will warm things up since it is still fairly early in the day.  It isn’t even noon yet.”

 

Zachary said as he described the beach, the people around him and that Sebastian was currently massaging Calis who was damn near asleep on the beach at his husband’s ministrations.

 

“What is your love interest Alex doing with Bob?”

 

Allen asked and Zachary craned his neck around to see where they were.

 

“They are sitting with Bob rubbing lotion onto Alex’s back also giving him a bit of a massage.  Everyone is simply relaxing although Alex is not my love interest.  He is with someone even if I do find him attractive.  I could see myself falling in love with him, but he doesn’t love me.  He loves Bob and thus unless Bob screws up with him which I doubt will happen than Alex is out of reach.”

 

Zachary said and Allen frowned since he wanted Alex not even to be a mere thought to Zachary.  Allen wanted Zachary to himself.

 

“Well don’t get too friendly with them.”

 

Allen said and Zachary smirked.

 

“You don’t need to be jealous Allen.  They are just friends.”

 

Zachary stated and Allen sputtered.

 

“I am not jealous!  I just don’t trust them!”

 

Allen growled frustrated that he was not there so he could have been the one putting sunblock on Zachary.

 

“Well you have nothing to worry about.  Now tell me more about yourself.  Tell me about your Masters you served so I can insure I am never like any of them.”

 

Zachary said as he laid down listening to Allen on the phone doing his best not to fall asleep.

 

Allen made sure Zachary stayed awake while he talked to him until Zachary said he could stay awake no longer.  Allen understood, but told him to keep the phone on by his ear so he could hear him.  Sebastian watched over Zachary to make sure the man did not burn as now it was much warmer and Zachary had pulled out his sunglasses to block out the light of the sun as he slept.

 

As Zachary slept Allen whispered a spell over Zachary so that he could make a claim over him.  It wasn’t a contract yet, but it was pretty damn close to one as his symbol of the Faustian mark Allen had showed up on Zachary’s neck.  It was not permanent yet, but it would let demons know he was claimed by a demon.  There were other ways to mark humans, sex being the biggest way to mark a human, but Allen did not have that part worked out with Zachary yet.

 

Allen knew Zachary had been celibate for quite some time and found out his blood type which was another rare blood type.  It was said by Peter that a rare blood type was better in flavor than one that was not so rare and that when a human was a virgin or celibate that the blood was better.  Also, the size of a human changed the way they tasted blood wise.  Peter did say Angels tasted good even if they were not celibate and Richard said Archangels tasted good too, but depending on their purity they could also poison and kill a vampire.

 

Really, Allen did not plan on feeding on an Archangel since he did not want to die.  Richard said that the Archangel cherubs visited Sebastian’s family often and often raped the vampires in the house which Allen thought was amusing.  Allen did not mind being raped especially if the Archangels were as pretty as Michael.

 

Allen listened to Zachary sleep and decided to close his eyes to get some rest himself.  He had not rested much before and felt a bit sleepy.  Benjamin came in to check on Allen noting the demon was sleeping as the phone was on by his ear finding it rather cute that the demon was sleeping with his most likely future consort.  The demon was falling in love and did not even know it.  Closing the door so no one would disturb the man, Benjamin went out to visit with everyone getting to know this charming coven of people.

Chapter 5

 

As Allen and Zachary slept, Calis got up from his short nap and decided to go swim in the surf with Sebastian joining him.  Kirkland was already out there with Leon getting nice and soaked with Leon splashing at Kirkland who was scolding him to stop it already.  Bob and Alex were laughing at Leon and Kirkland who were too cute.

 

Leon swam out a way with Kirkland going underwater a bit to look around since the water was nice and clear.  It was beautiful here.  The beach had little crabs and birds here and there as the group enjoyed the day.  Alex was getting a nice dark tan and Bob was also getting a bit of a tan from being out in the sunlight.

 

Gabrielle finally arrived parking his new rented Ferrari then walked out to the beach wearing black speedo briefs and a towel over one shoulder with flip flops on as he headed to the beach to join the others.  He had on his Ray Ban sunglasses and laid his towel by the others.  A BMW arrived after his car with Drew and Frank getting out with them wearing trunks taking their towels out to go join the others on the beach.

 

When passing Zachary, Gabrielle noted the mark on Zachary’s neck as he smirked a bit.  So, the human was claimed, that was interesting.  Sebastian had Calis up on his shoulders as he had Leon do the same with Kirkland as they did play fighting trying to knock each other into the water.  Kirkland thought this was rather stupid, but Leon said it was for Calis.  Kirkland was fair and did not hurt Calis, but he did knock Calis into the water a few times until Sebastian tripped Leon and dunked both Leon and Kirkland into the water.

 

Gabrielle watched the demon Angels play in amusement as he had to admit General Kirkland did look adorable as a ten-year-old and Calis was just too sweet for words.  Sebastian walked around with Calis on his shoulders for a while before dunking both of them into the water and then brought Calis back to the beach with him as Sebastian saw his friends arrived also he needed to wake Zachary lest he burn the front side of himself.  It was also time to put on more sunscreen for Calis and Zachary.

 

As Gabrielle saw Sebastian without his shirt on and dripping wet he had to admit the man was one sexy beast.  He had beautiful muscle tone and there was not an ounce of fat anywhere on him.  His ruby eyes also sparkled as he smiled like he was actually really pleased to see him.

 

“So how do you like our city so far?”

 

Gabrielle asked and Sebastian smiled wide.

 

“It is pretty nice other than there isn’t much to do other than the beach.  I am sure we are going to spend most of our time enjoying your beaches.”

 

Sebastian said as he dried off and dried Calis who was a little pinkish from being out in the sun and being so pale.  Sebastian did not burn nor tan, but Calis did as he was made different.

 

“There is more to do further up the island.  I suggest maybe when you have time to take a drive up to one of the bigger cities.   Maybe while the General is resting up you can come with us for a ride.”

 

Gabrielle said wanting to get Sebastian alone again.

 

“Maybe we can do that, but your car is a two-seat vehicle.”

 

Sebastian said and Gabrielle laughed.
