The days went by and there wasn't one incident where they had to deal with Shaw and his gang of friends. They enjoyed the relaxation,the freedom with their new profound friends as they went to the 'forbidden' beach that they weren't suppose to trespass but they went anyway. Charles leg was much better than it was before but it still hurts yet it was less than when it began which hurts and burnt like hell. 
"you know everything about this holiday seemed to get stranger by the mintue" said Charles as he drew in the sand. Erik who sat beside him looked at him with a raised eyebrow wondering the same thing as he laid on the sand and kissed Charles on his neck sending a tickling sensation down his spine. 
"stop it"mocked Charles as he kissed Erik on the lips. 
"make me" said Erik after the loving kiss they shared. Charles laid down and closed his eyes. Erik smiled as he went through their beach bag and took out his sunglasses that Charles had bought him for his birthday.

He laid down besides Charles as he too closed his eyes. They sleep for awhile only dreaming of each other and wondering where would they go next? Where would life take them after they leave here together. The stayed this way as Charles did fall asleep where Erik kissed him on the forehead. As they slept Shaw and his gang was not far from beach, Azazel was sharpening a peice of wood with one of Janos' knife. The point of the wood sharped to the point of penatration. The ablity to sink deep into the skin of their adversary. 
"enough with this trust thing, I want them to know real pain" said Azazel his voice angered and enraged. He jabs the sharped bark hard to the soiled ground where had dugged in deep. 
Janos cowered low but was reasurred by Emma that it was gong to be okay as she wrapped her arms around him, comforting him in a gentle embrace.

Shaw lit another cigarette, placing it in his mouth. He blew out the smoke and looked directly at Azazel's eyes, he glared at them before replying to his pervious comment. 
"you'll have your time but for now they don't seem to be a threat but keep your eyes open you understand?"said Shaw as he placed the cigarette back to his mouth. With this Azazel got to his feet,the anger still in his bloodstream not wanting to be proven wrong, so he stood and went away, away from the others. 
"where are you going?" Asked Emma her arms still around Janos. Janos didn't talk much, he was a shy, quite kid who hanged around Shaw and his friends because he felt alone and making friends of his own was hard. Life wasn't easy for him but Shaw took him in. 
"I'm going to the beach, the only place I can fucking think" he replied without daring to look at Emma as he passed the exit of the passageway to the beach.

Emma tried to get up to go with him but Shaw stopped her. 
"leave him, he'll come back just keep Janos comfortable" 
Emma followed his orders and went back to comforting Janos in her arms. Azazel took a deep breath and kicked the fallen leaves with his boot his frustration getting the better of him. Once he got to the beach he stood dead in his tracks, there lying on the sand was the two they confronted before, he wanted to take them down, beat them up, make them suffer but he remembered what Shaw said and he remained is cool. He approached the couple carefully and silently as he could watching them roll into each other's arms the younger man's head resting on the other. 
I'm going to be sick 
Azazel thought to himself as he lowered his face down towards them. His eyes than turned to their beach bag and a smile crepted up on his face.

While they were still asleep Azazel took this chance to look, to snoop in their bag. Inside he found their car keys, their phones and other various items that he could probably sell. He took one last glance to make sure they weren't looking or awake and when they weren't he snatched the bag and made a ran back to the others. 
"you've got to see what I found" 
Everyone turned around and saw Azazel with a light blue beach bag in his hand. Emma lifted an eyebrow and shook her head. 
"what you've got there? Your mother's hand bag" laughed Emma but Azazel ignored her and dropped the bag to the ground. 
"it's their bag, found them on our beach sleep and I noticed their bag unattended so it took it" 
Now very excited about what's inside Shaw stumped out his cigarette and he, Emma and Janos looked inside with Azazel taking the lead. Azazel took the contents of the bag on the ground.

Inside the bag was of course their car keys and phones. The other contents in the bag were spare towels, sunscream, Charles' wallet and Erik's too and various loose photos that Charles and Erik toom while they were there. 
"we could probably sell these, make some cash too" said Azazel taking the remaining money that was in their wallets. Emma nodded and Janos nodded in unions. Shaw smiled at the contents of the bag and it was true that money could be made of the items, Shaw was very pleased. By the time Charles and Erik woke up they were somewhat refreshed and so a bit tanned from the heat of the sun but other than that they felt wide awake. 
"morning" Charles joked his hand squeezing Erik's hand with his own. 
"morning to you too" Erik joked also as he leaned closer and part than they kissed passionatly. 
"let's go back shall we,I need a warm bath" said Charles as he kissed Erik on the cheek this time. 
"alright, besides in two days time we go home" 
Charles smiled at him, his head turning from his husband to their beach bag. It wasn't there. 
"where's the beach bag?"asked Charles, his eyes wondered around frantic as he eyes for where the bag was. 
"what do you mean? The bag was just..." Erik too began to become frantic. 
"our keys were in there and so were our phones!" Yelled Charles getting up now. "What are we going to do Erik?"

Erik didn't know what to do but he could only think of the one person who could have taken it. 
"come on, let's go and get those fuckers" said Charles who at times didn't mind his swearing but this seems too much. 
"Erik, sweetheart please... Calm down" 
"calm down? Calm down? How can we can down Charles! They have our keys, they have our phones and other personal belongings, please,for me. For Us." Erik pleaded, his hands on his shoulders. Charles looked at him and sighed as he kissed Erik's neck, he rested his head on his chest hearing his heart moving to the beat of his voice. With this both he and Erik ran and ran, they turned corner and lefts and rights until they found what they were looking for. 
"HEY! HEY STOP!" shouted Erik, his voice booming loudly making the trees shake. Erik sees their keys. Their car not far.

Shaw, Emma, Azazel and Janos all looked up at their company. Erik thinking they have won stepped forward, his heart and mind screaming no but he wasn't listening. 
"please, just give us the keys, the phones and our photos back, we don't want any arguments, please" said Erik calmly reach his hand out for their belongings but Azazel snapped and loosened the soiled bark from the ground and pointed it at Erik. 
"why don't you just keep moving and take your stupid mutt with you!" 
This fueled the rage in Erik,his heart pounding hard now, harder than before. 
"what did you say?" He said through his teeth. 
"I said MUTT! GO ON FIGHT ME!"screamed Azazel dropping the bark and head for Erik. Charles screamed, he moved forward getting Azazel away from Erik but Janos joined in, his knife in his hand. Emma and Shaw did nothing but watched, they cheered Azazel and Janos on.

Erik pushed Azazel away making him trip to this side. He than went for Janos, the knive in his hand still trying to turn it towards Erik but Erik was stronger. 
"please... Don't do this!" 
Janos said nothing. They fought futher, they fought harder in desperation to win over the other. Charles made his move to help Erik but his arms were bound to his side as Azazel had him, pinning his arms. After a few moments of struggle there was silence then a whimper. 
"NO!" Screamed Charles and Shaw with Emma by his side. Erik removed himself from Janos his hands covered in blood. The blood not being his own. Janos laid there his eyes wide open the knife on the ground his blood on the silver blade.

Shaw pushed pass them. His knees dropping as he laid Janos' head in his arms. Now his mad. Now his really mad. They will pay.

You are a threat now. And you must be destroyed.
