Tyler can talk

*Summary, Mark and Jack had sex and Mark drank Jack's blood it affected Mark more hen he knew.

Ethan walked down the old wooden stairs that lead to the basement. His weight making the beams creak every time his shoes hit them.  Behind him trailed Phil. The dark haired boy kept his arms wrapped loosely around his waist as he descended the stairs.

The pair entered the basement to see Dan siting in front of the cage with Tyler on the other side. Each sat as a mirror of the other, crossed legs and hands resting on knees.

" Do you understand me?" Dan asked softly.

Phil herd Ethan sigh as he strolled over to the other side of the large room. The boy racked his hand through his blue hair.

" He doesn't talk, he stopped saying anything a year ago" he said.

Dan nodded at this information.
" How long after you got him back did he start...?".

Ethan leant against the wooden bench that lined the other side of the room. His gaze followed Dan as he walked over to Phil's side. Their hands slipped into each other's naturally and Ethan couldn't help but feel jealous as he glanced at Tyler.

" He was fine for a couple of weeks. Then he started to get angry at everything. Our relationship turned sour but I never gave up him" Ethan frowned as he walked over to Tyler.

Dan was surprised that the human didn't flinch  when Tyler slammed his whole body toward the cage. It made a huge crash which made Phil jump slightly.

Ethan longingly looked into Tyler's crazy eyes with more love then a mother could give. His heart wanted him to be okay,even if that meant he had to open up his home to the person who destroyed him.

" Then one day, two years ago, Tyler snapped and attacked Bob" Ethan looked down as a tear ran down his face.
" Tyler killed him".

" I'm sorry" muttered Phil.

Ethan smiled sadly at the human. That was the first time anyone had every been sympathetic around him When regarding his friends death. Everyone else just blamed him for not stopping him, seeing the signs earlier.

" Everyone walked out after I started to defend Tyler, they told me not to come to Jack to find out what happened and left. They all though Tyler would eventually hurt himself so badly that he'd never wake up" Ethan explained, his hand gently resting on the bars to the cage.

Silence filled the room as Ethan gazed into Tyler's calm eyes. It seemed that every time Ethan was around the crazies human was more calm then usual. Ethan had noticed that his friend was also calm around Dan, but that was no doubt because he feared him.

" I'll fix it" Dan breathed.
" Tyler will be able to call you by name one day".

Ethan nodded as he whipped away his tears. He nodded in Dan's direction.
" Thank you, so much".

Dan shook his head and his hand slipped out of Phil's. The vampire gracefully went over to Ethan and embraced him. The human welcomed the gesture, the contact foreign for him after so many years of being alone, only an animal to talk too.

They broke apart after a few second and Dan stepped back to Phil.

" I'll show you where you'll be staying upstairs, when you're ready-".

Dan shook his head.
" No". He looked over to Tyler who had wandered off to stare at a wall.
" I'll be staying down here with him".

Ethan smiled and nodded. The boy then left the room so that Dan and Phil could catch up.
