The Other Home

Chapter 11

Spike

Aquarius was paler than his usual self, he lost a lot of weight also, the sight was pitiful. he shielded his eyes at first but then smiled at me oddly. "Did you miss me?" I jiggled the keys from my pocket.

He nodded, "I did." He stared at me desperately. 

I opened the door of his cage, Aquarius stood up weakly. My heart was racing in my chest; I could feel that he was finally mine. "Show me that you are done playing in the dark." I held my hand out to him. 

He looked at my hand intensity, he took my hand and fell back down to his knees. He grazed his cheek with my hand, cautiously yet seductively taking my finger and licking it; He looked up at me, "I'm done playing in the dark, I now only want to play with the dark" as he looked up, I noticed his eyes change color; They went from green to black.

 I immediately picked him up and threw him on my bed, "I didn't know you can speak so dirty!" I tore his shirt off, not feeling patient enough for it to be unbuttoned. He pushed his mouth on mine, our tongues dancing. He was driving me crazy. I licked his neck lightly nibbling it, His heart beat pulsed beneath my lips causing my hunger to grow to unmanageable levels. His arms wrapped around me as he pressed up against me almost hungrily; I griped his neck pulling him off me. His breath was quick is eyes lost. My breath was also quick as my mind raced on what to do first. The storehouse was opened and I wanted all of him. Aquarius reached to touch my hand, I slapped it away and grinned. "Pull down your pants and turn around." Expecting the facade to be over I was surprised when he stood up and began to unbutton his pants.

"Is this what you want?" His soft unsure voice glided into my ears jump starting my heart.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, "Is this what you want?" I asked back.

His facial expression was lifeless yet so erotic as he bent over my bed keeping his back up in the air, "I am no longer my own but yours, I want what you want."

I licked my lips jumping on him like a gazelle, "I want you to never forget what my body feels like inside you." I squeezed his hips.

Later

Joseph walked in holding a box full of filled viles "I don't know how long Bryan will buy the "for my alchemy class" excuse, Spike" he huffed out. Joseph was able to reach out to Bryan and get him to make a potion that would keep Shapeshifters from shifting.

I handed him a couple dollars wrapped around baggies of Treasure, "It's always great doing business with you." I held out the payment.

Joseph seeming ashamed as he took the payment from my hand, "So what are you going to do about Bryan not wanting to make anymore?" He looked at me.

I smiled at such a silly question, "Give him some initiative of course" 

Joseph nodded thoughtfully. He turned and left, and I turned and headed back to my room. I stopped at the door, Aquarius was sitting on the floor in a ray of light that was shining in. He was rocking heavily, I noticed scratches up his arm, harm he must have inflicted on his self during his seclusion. I took a syringe and filled it with the block aid from the vile. I walked over to Aquarius, and grabbed his arm. He didn't try to pull away; he didn't even take his eyes off the window. I pierced the tip of his needle in his arm and injected him. "This will help you stay well" I softly spoke.

He looked over at me, his eyes seemed to stare right through me. "Thank you." He replied. I nodded and stood up. For just a second I missed his opposition, but that was quickly gone as I considered the lovely moment we shared just a couple hours earlier.

Nick

Isaiah and Daniel walked with me, following me through an alleyway, I held a lantern before us lighting up the way. Daniel wore a heavy cloak with a hood, hoping that nobody would notice our escape but rather assume we are walking an old hag with a limp. We turned off into a skinny tunnel and walked slowly, feeling our way in the dim lighted passage.

"Are we almost there?" Daniel huffed as he walked gripping his side that was still bandaged up. I nodded, "Not much further."

"And there is a hideout?" He questioned.

"Your brother would never think to find you." Isaiah whispered.

I would have never thought when I came to this world I would end up a door keeper, aiding the escape of a threatened king. Isaiah nodded at me to keep moving forward. We came to the end of the hallway where a large wooden door awaited us. Daniel stared at Isaiah and I curiously as we stood together in silence. "Now what?" Daniel asked curiously.

I pulled out a pin from a case in my pocket and pricked my finger and pressed it against the golden door handle of the huge wooden door. "And Walla!" I whispered as the door opened. Daniel looked at me as he held his side, "Where does this door lead"

I winked, "Away from here. A world full of life"

Daniel looked back at Isaiah as if unsure.

"The alert that you have escaped has already went out and I'm pretty sure David is offering a higher reward for your dead body rather your return." I said recollecting this morning's radio broadcast.

Isaiah shook his head, "Daniel we don't have much time you have to go."

Daniel punched the wall seemingly regretting it immediately after, "I'm supposed to just run from my kingdom while David commits genocide by leading us into a war that we will lose!" Isaiah and I both stood in the dark hallway staring at the ground as Daniel fumed in anger. He then let out a tired sigh, "What should I expect of this world."

Isaiah smirked, "Nothing too different... The Creator of life rules their world, so try and blend in."

Daniel cocked his head, "So it's just one big kingdom?"

Isaiah and I shared a quick look, there was no way or enough time to explain it. Daniel took a deep breath as we heard the alarms going off. "It's time." I spoke lowly.

Daniel nodded and walked into the door disappearing into the darkness. We closed the door and left. "So are things going to be getting as bad a Daniel painted it?" I asked Isaiah as we came out of the long tunnel back into the crisp air of the alleyway that lead us to the secret entrance. Only two people have ever used this door, but the one before me gave in and became a vampire. I kept my human blood in order to be able to move between the world. "What, are you questioning whether you should have gone with him?" Isaiah teased as he read the concern on my face. He was right though.

Isaiah must have never traveled between the worlds I thought. "He isn't going to know what to do, where to go, and his way of surviving would be very much frowned down upon."

Isaiah frowned as he considered. "Your right... Go with him, you would be useless to us here especially if you are not going to change your form, but you will be very useful to him in a land he knows not." Isaiah took a thoughtful breath as he looked up at the sky. " But wait for my okay to leave, I have one more I want to send." He looked at me expectantly. I nodded and we separated at the end of the alleyway going our own separate direction.
