Differences, Alike

Chapter five

Damiens pov

There she was standing in front of me. "Speak of the devil." I said snarling at her my eyes darting to Anthony to see him sobbing over his dead aunt. 

"What no hello kiss?Ohhhhh I get it your still on that gay thing and this is your next boy toy." She said causing my blood to boil. 

"Why are you hear." I said through gritted teeth. 

"What you think I wouldn't keep up on my favorite twink? Well former twink, besides I know you will come back to me eventually...you love me." She said causing me to blow up I sped over to her pinning her to wall by her throat. 

"I am not just some confused boy going through a faze. I am gay. I never loved you and I never will. You seduced me you confused me I was lost you took advantage of me." I said only to be distracted when I heard a sob. I turned around to see Anthony staring at Ruby with sheer anger he stood up charging at her to which I picked him up and sped us to the alley way beside his building. 

"Sh-she killed them, m-my family." he said sobbing into my arms. I heard foor steps behind us and I already knew it was her. I turned around my body filling with rage. 

"YOU FUCKING BITCH." I screamed at her causing her to just chuckle. "I broke a wooden chair and held the broken piece of wood to her chest over her heart. "I will fucking kill you right now." 

"You can't you need me." I pushed the steak into her chest inches away from her heart. 

"I don't need you for shit bitch." I said remembering the cure seconds later I dropped the stake and snapped her neck instead. It won't kill her just knock her out for a bit which is long enough for me to restrain her. 

"D-did you kill her?" Anthony asked with a voice that made him seem smaller then he already was. I turned around and pulled him up hugging him. 

"I am so so sorry, this is all my fault if I didn't convince you to get coffee with me you would still have your family."  I said as tears slipped from my eyes. I wiped them away quickly and let go picking up Ruby and walking away.I completely hid my emotions and spoke confidently I didn't want to upset him more "I will make arrangements or you to stay at the cafe you can stay in my room or a guest your choice." I pushed my way through the back doors of the face making my way back down to the den. 

"Where are we taking her?" He asked sounding pretty okay. "Also why do i suddenly feel okay?"

"We are taking her to the cellar and we are gonna keep her locked up so she cant hurt anybody and you are okay now because I pushed my negative emotions which in turn pushed yours." I said dropping her on the bench once I got to the cellar. I opened the door and put her onto the floor leaving a small vile of blood just enough so she'll be able to talk and think. 

"So does this mean you don't have to go out any more and you can just stay here?" he asked his voice full of hope. I turned around and shook my head no and his face dropped. 

I turned around making my way down the hallway to the bedrooms "I still need to go meet with Serenity but there is no danger there so you can come if you'd like." I got to my bedroom sitting down on the bed and continuing and patting the spot next to me for Anthony to sit "I need to ask you something and you need to hear me out and really think about this before you say yes.... are you sure you want to let me us your blood for the cure? If it doesn't work there is a chance of you turning or dying, I don't want that for you." 

"I will do anything for you I can feel that you want to be cured so I will do what you need for the cure, how much blood do you need?" he asked looking down at his arm. 

"At least a vile they never use any less than that for rituals or potions." I said laying back putting my arms behind my head staring at the ceiling. I glanced down to see Anthony staring at me and jerked my head telling him to "come here" he crawled to my side and curled up beside me i put my arm around his small frame pulling close while he rested his head on my chest.

We began drifting off when I heard a scream and a crash. "WHAT THE FUCK YOU DICK HOW DARE YOU PUT ME IN HERE AGAIN." 

"Well looks like Ruby's awake." I said and we both laughed getting up and walking towards the cellar. When I finally got there I saw Ruby pacing back and forth her heels clicking at a steady rythm. She stopped pacing and walked to the door looking through the window and staring me dead in the eyes. 

"I got out of here once already, don't think I won't do it again." She smiled and turned sitting on the concrete block protruding from the wall. 

"Not if I have anything to say about that." I said shooting her with a tranquilizer dart of holy water it's not fatal only painful and weakening. She fell and grunted looking up at me and running towards the glass only to collapse. 

"Does that hurt her?" Anthony asked sounding guilty.

"yes it hurts but there is not lasting damage it just makes her less dangerous, besides she deserves a little pain." I said putting my hand on the small of his back. 

"It's not your fault you know." He said out of nowhere. I knew what he was talking about and it is my fault. 

"Yes it is. If I hadn't convinced you to get coffee with me she wouldn't have went after you.I promise I will make up for it I don't know how but I will. I am so so sorry for what she did, I will make sure she gets what she deserves." I said turning and staring into her cold eyes. 

"So buddy does this mean you're moving back in?" Ron asked from the end of the hall. I walked over to him crossing my arm and leaning against the wall.

"For the time being yes. Besides I don't know how much more 2 am sex screaming I can handle." I said chuckling. 

"Ha that's why I never left besides it will be good to have you back I have missed you its gotten quite lonely. Oh also and I to assume you guys are sharing a bed, or am I preparing a guest bedroom." he asked shocking me a little and apparently Anthony too telling by the gasp and sped up heartbeat of his. 

"I'll take care of it all you have already done so much. So I was thinking how soon can we get this cure done?" I asked eager to live out a normal life.

"I called Serenity but she didn't pick up we can drop by though." 

"Sounds good let me go get bitch blood." I said turning around making my way to the kitchen where Ron kept blood needles and holy water and things like that. I grabbed a vile and a needle and made my way over to the cellar. I cuffed her in case she tried anything, I pushed the needle into her vein drawing blood and putting it into the vile. 

I stood up and left the cellar freezing when I saw Anthony. I couldn't do this to him I can't its a horrid thing to do to someone as mundane as him. "Forget it." I said turning and walking to the liquor table taking a swig of vodka from the bottle. I then felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned around to see Anthony looking up at me with teary eyes. 

I placed my hand on his cheek "Darling whats wrong." I said wiping away a tear that had fallen. He then pulled a vile of blood out of his back pocket. 

"I-I want this for you." he putting the blood in my hand. I hugged him tight. 

"Thank you thank you thank you." we pulled away from the hug when we heard Ron yelling for us to hurry up. We walked out to his truck and me and Anthony climbed in me in the middle as it was a three seated truck, and off we were to cure me.
