Don't Touch

Falling to Cinders

"I hope you know that your a cruel son of a bitch." Greg said to Logan as Greg willingly went to the bed he'd woken up on just a few hours ago.

"No need to resort to name calling," Logan said raising his hands defensively. "I did just reunite you with your brother after all."

"For how long?" Greg asked looking at Logan as he laid down preparing to get drained.

"You just enjoy the fact that you can see him at all," Logan said lifting up a tube and flashing it in Greg's face. "I think you should just be grateful that I told him you were alive."

Greg stayed quiet not seeing any point in continuing with this conversation since he didn't want to get his visitations taken away from him. He simply waited while Logan placed the sharpened end of the tube near the wound on Greg's arm. He let out a gasp when Logan forced the tube back into Greg's arm and he immediately felt a slight suction within his arm, and soon enough he saw the tube grow dark as his blood began to flow through it.

"So how much more will I be able to give before I start to, you know, start to die?" Greg asked looking at  the tube. "How much did you already take from me today?"

"As long as it's only this one tube you can keep it in all day and at the most you'll only feel a little dizzy towards the end of the day." Logan said as he put away all the other tubes. "But for today leave it in for only another hour than you can take it out and we'll start again tomorrow as soon as you wake up."

Greg sighed as he watched his blood run through the tube. Who would've thought that some random kid from Winnipeg would be the one who virtually destroys the world. Logan looked behind him and wandered over to the drawer before coming back with a Chess board. Greg raised his eyebrows at the board as Logan sat on Greg's bed. He must've seen Greg's face because he shrugged and started to set up the board.

"I figured you'd get bored," Logan said turning the board so the white peices  were on Greg's side. "You can be white."

"Gee thanks," Greg said rolling his eyes as he turned to face the board.

Oddly enough it felt a little weird to be playing Chess with Logan, especially since Logan had just kidnapped him and was planning on killing him. But still at the same time it felt kind of normal to be doing something like this with the other boy. Greg looked up at Logan and shook his head at him. Logan no longer wore any of his clothes, instead he was covered in his black fur which covered everything except his chest and his upper stomach.

The two of them were engaged in the game which was weird because Greg didn't even like Chess, and what made it worse was that he was playing with Logan. Yet here they were talking like nothing was wrong, like everything that had happened between them had just never happened. As it turned out Logan wasn't even all that old, he was indeed a Devil but he was only a few hundred years old, which was extremely young for Devils. But it turns out that he really didn't know what kind of Devil he was, but Logan was extremely strong and he met Cerberus for the first time when Logan had killed one of his pack.

Greg also learned that Cerberus wasn't even the original leader of the Hellhounds, and that he wasn't all that strong at first just had three heads. Turns out that Logan had found a way to amplify Cerberus' strength but his new found strength didn't work on him. The original leader of the Hellhounds was an old Hellhound named Synder, and Cerberus used his new strength to replace him which is why the Hellhounds are so violent now. Greg learned that while under Synder's rule the Hellhounds weren't very aggressive at all and only attack people who threatened to expose their world.

Greg recalled hearing Logan mention Synder's name when Cerberus was in the other room with them. As it turned out Synder was never killed by Cerberus, they thought he did but for some reason Synder just couldn't be killed by normal methods as other Hellhounds. Synder was also leading a sort of war against Cerberus to try and regain his position as leader of the Hellhounds, even though Cerberus had "killed" Synder about 50 times. Logan wouldn't quite say what was the deal with Synder and Cerberus was because he said that it was a Devil's only business.
