Short Stories

Action (Dämen Bane 3)

Ajax had been hyper for the whole walk. I would have taken a stealthier approach but he was too big for that. Upon reaching James and Alex's house we found them playing hockey once again. Alex was winning or so it seemed from his triumphant look and James embarrassed smile.

"How about I take my losings and go get us some water?" James asked trying to get inside. Alex nodded and James bounded inside.

"Stay here, okay? We don't want to have a repeat of last time." It was Alex's turn to be embarrassed.

"That wasn't actually my fault! It was so pretty!" Alex called.

"Chasing a butterfly while I'm gone isn't good!" James yelled back. Alex decided to practice some more while James was inside. Slipping around the side of the house close to the door James entered, Ajax stayed where I had been. Giving a small whistle he emerged from some bushes growling and blocked Alex's path from running to James. Alex's face immediately changed to fear.

"Nice dog?" He asked quietly as Ajax snapped at him. He started to barely shake from the fear watching as poison dripped from Ajax's fangs.

"James! Help!" He screamed just before Ajax pounced and landed on top of him. James looked out the window to see the scene and went to run out to help. Grabbing his arms I pulled James close to me and held a cloth over his mouth to stop him from yelling or screaming for help. They weren't terribly far from Ashton or probably some patrolling guards as well. As I thought his yells were muffled into my hand.

"Now listen or else he gets it." I nodded my chin to Alex still squirming under Ajax. James nodded anxiously.

"Please donr hert hem." James managed to mutter. I rolled my eyes, the things these guys will do for each other is pathetic.

"We can do this easy way, only you get poisoned or the hard way and one of you died while the other is poisoned."

"James! Please don't!" Alex begged with his voice shaking. James shook his head no.

"Hard way? Your choice but okay. Alex is a small person it won't take long for the poison to infect his heart. Go on Ajax." I instructed as he opened his jaws to bite Alex's neck. James managed to get my hand off enough to make a high pitched whistle. Ajax stopped a few inches from biting him as his ears perked listening. It wasn't a few minutes before running could be heard coming in our direction.

"Alex! What's wrong?" A voice yelled before breaking in the small clearing. A smaller demon hound had appeared in a attacking stance. James motioned to Alex and nodded which caused the dog to start growling at Ajax and getting ready to attack.

"Kuro?" Alex asked confused. Kuro proceeded to speak in demon.

"Get away from him! Now!" He demanded. "I don't feel like ripping your head off yet brother."* Ajax let out his version of a laugh.

"I nearly pity you for even saying that. The fact that you even try is sad. So I'd give up now." Ajax retorted.

"Not until you get off the kid." With that Kuro lunged at Ajax and attacked the back of his neck. Growling, Ajax fought to get him off in which he had let go of his grip on Alex.

"Alex run!" Kuro yelled in English before jumping Ajax and running over to help Alex up. Seeing James was distracted as I had hoped he would be, I took the dagger Dest had prepared and lodged in his side pressing it into his muscles until he nearly screamed. Instead he just bit down from the pain. Kuro had grabbed Alex's shirt collar and had scrambled to drag him back a few feet away before helping him onto his back as Ajax watched them. Seeing his brother hurt made Alex try to help but Kuro forced him to keep moving away.

"Hurts doesn't it?" I taunted James. "There's no antidote either. Now you're just like Sky and Red as they've been poisoned too but I've stepped up the pain a bit more seeing as it wouldn't have the same effect with their doses as your a demon. I'll be watching." When the dagger had been drained, I ripped it out and called Ajax over to before we took off back to Dest. I glanced over my shoulder to see Kuro running off to Ashton's castle with Alex and James clutching his side as he fell onto his knees and soon after passed out on the ground.

*That was translated for the sake of actually reading this. Otherwise it would end up worse than this and it probably sounds like this too XD.
