Shades Of Red

Chapter Nine

Waking up with a headache, Ace looked around the room. He sat alone in a well decorated room, sitting in a queen size bed, Ace didnt find Adrian next to him. A small hit to his heart with sadness, Ace pulled the blanket and stepped on the warm carpet. Adrian had to be around, he couldnt leave Ace alone. Walking out the door, Ace looked from left to right into a red wallpapered hall. He was confused at where he was, it didnt seem like any home hes ever been in. quietly making it down the hallway, a door opened and a tall man walked out. Sebastian made his way fixing his cuffs, not noticing Ace hiding, until he felt him hiding behind the curtain.

"Those are fine silk, made from the best designers in China," Sebastian said, not looking at Ace. "i might change the colour to a royal blue instead of keeping them grey." walking to where Ace was hiding, Sebastian pulled the curtain away from him. "Did you eat your dinner? I made sure the chefs made extra for you." hearing a click coming from Sebastian clicking his couplets together. "Wheres Adrian? Where am i?" Ace asked, he didnt know where he was or where Adrian was. He was scared. "You are in my mansion in Barhams. Adrian isnt here and wont come back until whatever wants to kill you is gone, you are here because i made a deal with him to keep you safe from it." Sebastian explained. Ace didnt understand why Adrian could protect him himself, he was just as strong as Sebastian. "But why? It doesn't make sense!" Ace was going to cry but couldn't. "Im sorry, little one, but that's the rules. Vlad is on his way to visit, he'll keep you company while im away. I do work as a doctor." Sebastian had a hand on Aces shoulder, Ace pushed it off of him. "I dont think im hungry anyways." Ace said, hugging his own small frame. Not very small anymore due to his bump. "You need to eat, Ace. you do carry the life of two little ones inside you." Sebastian said. "I dont know, i just want Adrian to be here." Sebastian sighed and smiled down at Ace. Dont worry, little one, i promise to m"ake sure youre safe and sound by the time Adrian does come back." Sebastian patted Aces head like a child and walked off.

"Wait, Sebastian." Ace called and jogged by the stairs, but Sebastian was gone. Ace huffed and looked around. This place was breathtakingly beautiful, walking down the stairs, Ace felt so rich taking each step down the the stairs. Ace also remembered Sebastian saying they were in Brahams meaning he was really rich.

"Sebastian, i need to borrow some power veils, ive seemed to have ran out. "

Ace hasn't ran up the stairs anymore faster than what his legs could carry him.

"Sebastian? Are you here?" the voice called out once more.

"You just missed him." Ace peeked out from a marble statue on the railing. A man with vivid green eyes looked up at Ace. "Have i? Mind telling me what a little thing like you is doing here?" the man smiled a mischievous smile. "Im being protected from someone by Sebastian and Vlad." Ace said, peaking out more. The man started up the stairs. "Tell me, what it your name?" he was so intrigued by Ace. "Tell me yours first." Ace demanded as the man was in eye level of Ace. Taking a bow, the man answered, "Prince Carson of the east Nile ocean. And without you telling me anymore, i take it you're the human that everyone is talking about, Aceial was it?" Carson asked, resting his fingers on his chin, smiling. "You aren't wrong. But what do you want?" Ace took a step back. Carson looked a tiny bit hurt. "Just thought I'd stop by for a little something. To be honest, i dont think hell miss it not a bit." Carson thought aloud. Ace was getting scared. Putting a hand on his stomach, Ace didn't know what he was talking about. "You'll have to wait until he gets back." Ace said. "Thats fine, as long as you're here, i wont be lonely." "the hell are you hinting at?" Ace snapped. Carson looked down at Ace with both a disgusted and hurt look. "I mean to have someone to talk to, it gets boring to wait hours for a man with a doctor degree. What exactly were you thinking, nasty little man?" a lustful grin grew on Carson's face had he took Aces hand. "Even though im straight, wouldn't hurt to try it with a twink." Ace tried to loosen Carson's grip, only to no avail. "Im not your toy, just let go!" "as you wish," letting go of his hand, Ace fell to the floor. "Little boy, i hope you know im more of the dominate here, you wont stand a tongue battle with me." Carson bragged. "Why would i do that in the first place? I dont even know who you are."
