The unveiling

Chapter 14

Nicholas had woken up again. Last night during the very quiet ride back to this house, Nick had slept off and he guessed they must have carried him. Nick went to the living room to see that Jean was watching TV and in the kitchen, Dominique was making pancakes. Jean had noticed him and said

"Finally you're awake, com'on let's go eat, Dom makes the best and fluffiest pancakes you'd ever taste" Jean led him to the Island and got him a plate and filled it with pancakes. Nick silently ate not knowing what to say as the other people watched him eat.

"I know you might have a lot of questions so feel free to ask" Dominique said.

"What do you want with me?"

"Nothing special, just you as a whole"

"You know very well I'm from 'the church', they might send people to get me, you know"

Jean snorted "You think the church cares about you, what do you think your mission is?"

" ... to fight evil"

Dominique couldn't help but laugh "You silly man, the church isn't as good as you think, the main reason they do this is because of power"

"The head of your organization isn't some forseeing being, him and his other associates want Immortality and power from our commander but in order to get he would have to get his attention; so by banishing our beings he hopes to get leverage to use against the commander" Jean completed

Nick head was spinning at the newly grasped information changing everything he had grown up to believe in "H-how do you even know about this?"

"We're quite more powerful and older than you think"

"But if you don't believe it, you are free to go"

Nick eyes widened "A-are you being serious?"

"Yeah but do you really want to spend the rest of your life in servitude to a place that has no regard for you or do you want to spend it with us, living out the best version of yourself"

Nick thought about it for a while "Do you promise not to touch me again?"

"If that's what you want"

Nick stayed quiet for a while just contemplating and also observing the two. They seemed to have changed in a way. They were short and thin but now they seemed to have become taller and a little buffer. Their weak jawlines had become more sharp and outlined and Dominique was starting to spot a barely existent mustache at the top of his lip and his chin which was actually very good looking.

"Okay" Nick said "I'll stay but I have some questions regarding you"

"Fire away" Jean said scooching closer, his meaty biceps were perched directly beside Nick who gave it a quick glance. (I'm sorry I can't stop thinking about Changbin, he just keeps getting bigger 😭)

"Can you change your appearance?"

"We aren't shape shifters we can only manipulate our body to appear either big or small but it's only a small change"

"What is that tiny tendril-like things that just pops up at random?"

" Ah-" The whole half of the day was spent with Nick asking the most random questions even Jean couldn't keep up any more and Dominique had to take over. It was night time already, Jean and Dominique had gotten Nick to dress up which was just in a pair of form fitting dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt which showed off the little muscles he had managed to obtain.

"Where are we going?" Nick asked during the car ride

"Oh it's a surprise" Jean who was driving said. They arrived at a large two story building with a big-ish parking lot which was filled with a lot of cars, it was silent and eerie.

"What is this place?" Nick asked with fear creeping in his words

"Oh you'll see" Jean said excitedly which made Dominique roll his eyes and hold on to Nick's hand "It belongs to a friend of ours"

They entered in to the quiet lobby with a huge man sitting at a desk and reading a magazine "Hey Al" Jean said and 'Al' only gave them a glance and a grunt before going back to his reading. They had led Nick to the elevator and pressed the ground button.

"Aren't we already on the ground floor?" Nick asked confused

"Shhh" Jean hushed. The elevator didn't move at all and it opened to reveal a club. Blue and white lights were the only thing illuminating the loud club of people who were dancing, grinding, drinking and other random stuff. "Come on" Dominique shouted to Nick because it was too loud to speak normally. They had led Nick to the bar and asked (still shouting)

"What is your alcohol tolerance?"

"I don't know" Nick answered, he hadn't gotten drunk before because it was only on special occasions or missions when he was allowed to drink

"What kind of alcohol have you tried?"

"Whiskey?" Nick said unsure of his own answer, Jean laughed and said "It's time to introduce you to different kind of alcohol" he then spoke to the bartender and soon different color and types of alcohol were placed in front of him.

"Now try this one" Dominique pointed to one, Nick looked unsure for a while before he decided. He downed everything in one go and his eyes widened "This one is really good what's it called?"

"Bloody Mary, here try the next one" Nick tried it and he nodded in satisfaction looking expectantly at Dominique for the name

"Sex on the beach" Nick grimaced at the dumb name before trying the next one and the one after that and so on. Dominique and Jean had gone to see someone leaving a buzzed Nick to the bartender. By now Nick had tried almost every drink and he was tipsy already, he had decided he wanted to go dance.

And that was how Nick found himself between two girls grinding against him and him taking shots after shots. Nick was currently lip-locked with a brunette or red haired girl (The fact that Nick was already drunk and the lights were confusing different colors) with numerous piercing, he was suddenly pulled away from her by Jean.

"Com'on Nick I want you to meet someone" Nick answered with a gargled nonsense and a smile. Jean gave Nick a bottle of water which sobered him up a little bit, so atleast he was able to stand.

"Woah what is this place" Nick was led to a library like place filled with shelf's of different objects

"It belongs to my friend he likes to collect unique things"

"Hmm I like the world unique"

Nick was sat opposite to a man with green-blue hair, his eyes were a unique kind grey and he looked so much like a Greek god.

"Are you from Grease (Greece)" Nick asking slurring, he let out a soft laugh while taking Nick's hand and kissing it softly

"Nice to meet you Nick, I am Marc"

"And I'm Nick, Hey! You already know my name" Nick said his facial expression giving him a goofy vibe, Marc let out a short chuckle before turning to Jean "I wish to buy him from you" Jean smile faltered

"No, he isn't for sale, he is our friend"

"Oh com'on you can't be serious"

"Dom, I think you should take Nick back to the club, Marc and I have something to discuss" Dominique who was sitting at the side nodded before carrying Nick back but before leaving Nick said

"Bye-bye Markie it was nice to meet you too"

Nick was led back to the club "You stay here and wait for us, okay" Dominique said to Nick who nodded carefully but once Dominique left, Nick had resumed his frivolous dancing and downing shots.
