anything and everything

Cisco and Vilhelm

Ryuin sprinted through the wooded areas on the outskirts of town. The orphan home was far enough from the city for the demon children to be safe from their elders, the bigger risk was the beasts in the forest.  But for Ryuin, the greatest threat was within the home. 

"Get back here runt!" 

Ryuin didn't dare say anything back. He didn't want them to know where he was. Dammit why couldn't he fly already. He was too young, his wings were too small, but his footsteps were far too loud for his liking. 

Unfortunately, Adrian could fly and he was quite fast at it.

"ah!" Ryuin cried out as he was hit in the back, thrown against a tree then sinking down to his knees on the ground. He got his hands on the ground and tried to scramble away but Criel caught him by the wings and lifted him off the ground. 

"Leave me alone!" Ryuin kicked at the demons, trying to summon his very limited magic. He was the equivalent of a 10 year old human, of course he had such little fight in him. 

Criel tossed him onto the ground not far away and stepped on his chest to pin him down. Adrien and Martze got on the ground on either side of him, grabbing his arms and pinning him down. "Don't tell me what to do runt." 

Ryuin screamed when he felt Criel's fangs sink into his arm. There wasn't enough food in the house and he was the youngest one left. He was the natural target. The weakest of the herd is prey after all. The smell of blood filled the air as the flesh was torn away from the bone. 

Ryuin summoned every bit of strength he had and aimed his attention at Criel. An ice spike grew from Ryuin's palm and pierced through Criel's shoulder. The older demon shouted in pain and melted the spike. 

"What the fuck!" He growled. Adrian got up to heal Criel and Ryuin took this chance to run. He didn't make it far before he got tackled to the ground. Martze pinned him down as the other two caught up to them. 

"Should we kill him?" Martze asked Criel. It seemed Ryuins punishment was going to be up to the injured demon. 

"No, we're going to teach this little fuck a lesson." Criel kicked him in the side. 

Stop. Please stop. Ryuin scrambled for his freedom until he felt heat on his back. He writhed in pain, trying to escape the heat that caught on his clothes and burned them mostly off. 

"You two can eat but make sure he lives. I'm going to show him who's really in charge here." 

*****

"You're always so rough." Cisco huffed, rubbing his back. "Im still sore from last night."

"Toughen up." Ryuin responded. 

"That is a bad answer." Cisco whacked Ryuin on the arm. Ryuin glared at him before turning back to writing in his book. 

"You should apologize." Cisco insisted on continuing their conversation. 

"Why?"

"Because you hurt me when I asked for you to be gentle."

"Yeah well it doesn't matter what the bottom wants." Ryuin dismissed his concern. "You're lucky you get a say in it at all. I'm doing what I know, you told me not to experiment in bed." 

"that sounds suspiciously like sexual assault." Cisco crossed his arms. 

"Well maybe that's all I know." Ryuin snapped though seemed to regret the words once they left his lips. 

"Ryu, do you want to talk about-"

"Im going to hell. I need to speak to victoria. I'll be back in a few days." Ryuin got up, picking up dusk and his bag. "Don't try to follow me."
