Luck of the Draw

Chapter 7

A week had passed....

James was much more docile with Roger. Though he had bit him badly one time. Roger was getting his hair played with by James. Roger smiled as his boyfriend ran his hands through his silky hair. Roger suddenly hugged him and gushed loudly. "My cute James!!!" He smiled and James hugged him back. "R...og....eer...." James said broken up. It had been the first word he'd said since he got home. "Holy shit!! You said something!!" Roger had a big smile and hugged James even more.

Faraday had been extremely hesitant of James. She knew what Roger didn't. She had locked herself into her lab and was asleep in bed for once. She had shredded herself into exhaustion. The woman nuzzled into her pillow as she slept peacefully. Her lab had a small bedroom that was disguised as a closet. It was for safety measures after all. It also had its own metal shutters over it.

Roger took his lover into their yard. They sat in the grass and snuggled up together. James had an infatuation with his boyfriend's hair. He purred as he ran his fingers into it. "Is my hair that soft?" Roger asked with a chuckle following afterwards. "Rogerrrrr." James said for the second time. He was struggling with speech but still tried hard. "Awww!!!!" Roger gushed over his lover and hugged him close. "My darling, James!!!" He gushed with a big smile. James looked up and stared at the bobby who was approaching the house. He let out a growl and put Roger behind him. "Its only a bobby, James. We should go see what he needs." Roger stood up but his lover pulled him back down. "James, come now." Roger said in a soft tone and urged him to move. James grumbled but stood up with him. James was very protective as of late. "Hello, Constable! I assume you need doctor f." Roger said as James growled at the bobby. The constable ignored the growling and handed Roger a package. "I just need this dropped off to her, please." The bobby got a nod from Roger before he walked off. "Let's go inside to give this to her." Roger said softly and got a grumble out of James.

The couple walked inside and went upstairs. James tensed up as they went up the steps. He could smell the chemicals in the box. His pupils got smaller and he headbutted Roger. The chemicals had a slight smell and it drove James mad. "GAH!!" Roger cried out as he was knocked over. James took the box and ripped it open. He growled at the chemicals and saw notes. He pulled out the papers and thrust them into Rogers hands. Roger blinked a few times and read them. James was hyperventilating and fidgeting from the mysterious fumes. "Holy fucking shit...." Roger covered his mouth and teared up as he read. He looked up at James in horror. "Y-your....I...." Roger started to shake. "Oh god...,oh....oooo.....nnnn....nnn..hhh..." He hugged himself in fear and was shaking worse.

Faraday heard the thud and opened the shutters. "Roger?! Are you ok?!" She was shoved back by James. The man screeched at her and started to attack. "J-james was....he...." Roger vomited up on the floor from the thought alone. This was reality, and he did not take it well. James forced Faraday down and started to beat the shit out of her. It was only causing bruises and cuts. But the man was not happy. "Roger..." James approached his lover who was on his knees and shaking.

"Y-your....half...of him...?" Roger said with a tremble in his voice. James sat next to him and rubbed his back in comfort. James nodded once and kissed his lover on the cheek. "S-so how...how is that possible if you were mauled and eaten...?" He asked in fear. James skimmed the letter and pointed to a part. Roger looked even more horrified as he read. "S-so....youre half James and half of his killer...?" Roger asked while his body still trembled. James nodded and pulled him into a soft hug. "So that's why....i....i was banned from the garden district....?" He had tears pouring down his cheeks. James gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and nuzzled him. "Are you gonna eat me too...?" Roger asked nervously and got a head shake in return. James used his finger to pull his cheek a bit. He pointed to his dull, human teeth and chuckled. Roger sighed in relief.

Faraday looked at them in horror and quietly grabbed something. She was going to put James out of his misery.....

For good
