Chapter 110 - Possessive Beasts

After the call Brandon turned to Ann and gestured for her to follow him back across the field towards the Mansion. She quietly followed without comment, her face still sporting that unreadable expression from before.

Suddenly as they got closer to the Mansion Brandon saw Lander and Ezekiel standing on the porch waiting on them to arrive. An errant wind picked up and the scent of his own blood and sweat drifted up to Brandon making him sharply away of the fact that the entire front of his chest and his hands were stained....and that it was quite obvious that he'd been attacked.

Oh crap...

No matter the reason for her actions, Brandon had a sinking feeling suddenly that Ezekiel would not appreciate it.

Thinking fast Brandon turned and looked at Ann. "Hey Ann, in about three minutes I'm going to need you to quickly and quietly go with Ezekiel's brother. Don't argue. Just follow him and maybe tomorrow I can convince Mantilo and Glen the Clan Heads to place you in a room outside of the Basement. Okay?"

Ann cast him a confused look, but he didn't have the time to explain anything to her. Instead Brandon went quietly into his mind and started shouting like a loon.

LANDER! LANDER! HELLO PICK UP! Lander answer me!!

Landers voice snapped back in a snarl as the green haired brother hissed and winced. "Why the fuck are you yelling at me Candy Pants you're like ten feet in front of me! Just fucking TALK to me you little shit!" he shouted.

His voice carried across the field. And in the darkening sunset it was clear that neither Ezekiel nor Lander could see them too clearly yet.

Brandon spoke again, but quieter this time.

Lander shut up! Jeez! I don't want Ezekiel to commit a murder so just listen to me. I sort of got hurt and I bled all over myself.

Landers voice came back, with the force of a cold nail being jammed into in his temple. Brandon winced but he didn't fight the sensation like normal, he bit his lip, pushed away the Acris's power and just opened his mind and let Lander in.

"Wait! Did that bitch hurt you!?"

He snarled sounding so protective that it made Brandon speechless for a second.

Brandon eventually replied.

"Well yes she kind of hurt me...but I kind of deserved it too I guess? Anyway I'm okay! I promise but Ezekiels been a little bit overprotective of me ever since we got back and I'm worried he's going to go after Ann for this. He threatened to kill her if she hurt me!"

Lander scoffed.

"And she still hit you? Stupid woman! Oh yeah Ezekiel's probably going to kill her. He's been extra touchy around you lately...not that I can blame him considering that your his...um wait....never mind."

Lander trailed off into silence sounding hesitant. Brandon ignored this as he started to panic and he cried.

"Lander, he can't kill Ann! I kinda need her NOT to be dead. So I'm going to distract him.... While you take her into the Mansion so he won't jump on her. Okay?"

Lander hissed sounding defensive. "Nope not okay! You should let him put her in her damn place! You belong to Ezekiel and he has every right to defend you."

Brandon scrambled for a response as they finally drew close to the porch and he could see Ezekiel glaring at him and all of his bloody clothing. He looked pissed.
