Wonders.





"Why are you so rough?"-Aether

Aether covered his mouth as his face flushed. His fangs were biting into a blanket so he could resist the urge to bite his skin. His lover Xiao was doing something that involved his blood. He licked it a couple of times after his eyes dimmed back to golden yellow.

"The mark is treated. Of course I had to be so rough, you kept trying to bite me."-Xiao

"I never got my blood with my breakfast and you know how much blood is essential to my body."-Aether

"Because I had to treat this as soon as possible. It was spreading. And you were rather warmer than usual."-Xiao

Noises came from the outside. Fire raged from the outside as he felt his blood boil. There were about two people, maybe three, armed with guns. It had the strong smell of fresh silver coated with garlic.

"It's nothing more than a hallucination Aether. Breathe. Focus on my heart beating and nothing else."-Xiao

"No. It's not. I'm smelling garlic and silver. And the strong burning of concentrated elements. There's a catalyst user. Two, maybe five!"-Aether

Xiao looked outside. It was as he said. Are they here to kill them? They have fire and guns with silver bullets.

Did he make Aether freak out? He was breathing heavily and starting to scratch his skin. He needs blood, and now.

"Go downstairs and find the blood bags. Pack whatever necessities you can fit in one small bag. Especially blood."-Xiao

"Xiao, whats going on?"-Aether

"I don't know, the only thing I know is that they are trying to burn down the house with us inside. We need to leave."-Xiao

Now they must leave? But the people were so nice, and they weren't hurting anyone. Nonetheless, Aether gave Xiao a kiss on the cheek and ran downstairs. Xiao followed his own instructions and packed some photographs in a box and clothing. He put them in a duffle bag with bandages and other medicine. He then went to his father's room to wake him up.

"DONT TOUCH ME, YOU INSOLENT HUMAN SHIT!"-Aether

Xiao ran downstairs to see the commotion. Aether was backing away from a bunch of people with swords. They started to throw garlic at Aether. He growled.

"GARLIC DOES NOT HURT VAMPIRES, IT JUST STINKS AND RUINS THE WHOLE POINT OF FOOD! GET YOUR GODDAMN HEAD OUT OF THE STORYBOOKS, YOU COWARDS!"-Aether

The people looked at him shocked. Then a woman in purple struck him with a insane amount of Electro. Aether screamed and winced in pain. He then got out his sword and brought out his fangs. He hissed before lunging forward. That was, before he was stopped by a fresh cut made on Xiao's arm.

"Drink. Your urges are a nuisance and it's affecting your basic ability to think."-Xiao

Aether thirstily drank from the cut as Xiao glared at everyone. Why were they here? What did they want? Do they tend to harm them? How bad is Aether's injury?

The people started bringing out weapons and channeling elemental power. There were three with matches ready to light on fire. Xiao couldn't believe it. He had to run. But Aether and his father. Everyone who lived in this building . Aether stopped feeding on the blood.

"Run. Run upstairs and get everyone and yourself out of here Aether. Run now Aether!"-Xiao

"What? Why? Xiao, I'm certainly not leaving you! Please..."-Aether

"Aether. That is a order."-Xiao

Aether tried to hold back tears as he ran upstairs. Xiao frowned. He started to fight them all off. Especially the catalyst users, those ones cause the most damage. He barely even saw two people make their way upstairs.

He didn't care, his only goal was for others to escape.

"Take every you can with you. I promise me and Brother Xiao will be there. Take everything necessary."-Aether

"But. What if you can't come?"-Qiqi

"Don't worry about us. Just go and find Mr Zhongli in the forest."-Aether

Aether was taken away by a man when he saw Qiqi run into the forest. He tried to bite through the hand, but it didn't work. He soon felt drowsy but shook off the feeling.

"Give in to it. You know you want to vampire."-???

Aether kicked the guy off him and ran. Then he felt a pounding feeling in his chest. It wasn't long before he lost most of his vision. The blond fell to the floor once he reached the bottom of the stairs. He couldn't move his body at all. This engraving pain.

Xiao whipped around and saw Aether there on the floor. He dropped everything and went to his lover's side.

"Aether! Please answer me!"-Xiao

Aether wouldnt move. Xiao wasted no time to put in his fangs to extract whatever was making him this way. Then a signal was given and everyone left. The house was lit on fire.

As much as Xiao pleaded for his lover to wake, he wouldn't. He had no choice. He ran out the back door and ran as far as he could into the forest. But he forgot his bag. How could he forget such a important thing? It had all the essentials needed.

"Xiao?"-Aether

"Drink my blood again. Please. You need your strength."-Xiao

Xiao extended his hand for Aether to bite on. He licked it a bit before biting on it. It made Xiao blush. It gave him time to think.

Why did they attack now? They settled there in peace for years and now they attack? Who told them they were vampires?

"Hey. We're safe now and that's all that matters. Stop pointing now, you big baby. And I think they gave crushed garlic mixed in with that sleepy thing. Ugh! No wonder I feel sick!"-Aether

"I am not a baby."-Xiao

"Yet you worry like a little kid!"-Aether

"Oh, good night!"-Xiao

Aether laughed a bit before laying on a tree to collect his thoughts. Xiao just smiled at him. Thought, snow was coming. They needed to find firewood soon. But that doesn't matter now.

What matters now is that they are alive.









Everything I write I get sadder.  I don't know why. Maybe it's how I end them
