Has there ever been a day when you'd ever think that your loved ones would disappear?
Well, they did for June Vargo and everyone else, supernatural or human, who remained on earth.
Now stuck in a world with only one fourth of the population remai...
"I....but....why the hell are we going outside?" I sputtered, taking one step towards them. Kelen sighed then came over to me, placing his hand on my shoulders and looking me in the eye.
"You don't remember anything that happened....um...last night?" He asked slowly, as if I was a child. It wasn't like Kelen to falter, so I forgot my momentary anger at how he said it and just focused on the words.
"No...I don't remember. I don't even know what I'm trying to remember."
Signing again, Kelen turned back to the guys. A looked passed between them before he turned back to me. His eyes were dark and hard to read, but I saw his nervousness. After awhile he waved Casbian forward. Cas stopped beside Kelen, looking down at me. His white hair glowed, along with the rest of his body. "I want you to just relax and close your eyes, June. Casbian is going to transmit his memories to you. It's going to feel like...like you're him, but try your best to stay in reality ok? Can you do that for me Love?"
I nodded, his deep, velvety voice soothing me. "I'm ready," I said then closed my eyes tight. When Cabian's hand made contact with my body everything went dark. . . . . I gasped as my eyes slam open, hands flying to my chest as if I could stop my heart from beating out. Tears streamed down my face and all I could do was panic. I'm gonna loose her. I'm gonna lose her. I'm gonna---
"You're June. You're not Casbian, you're June. Breathe for me. In and out...in and out---there you go. Just like that," Kelen coached, rubbing his hand up and down my back as I rocked back and forth. I didn't know how I got here, on the floor, but I was thankful. So freaking thankful. With tear blurred eyes, I looked up at Casbain, who was on my other side. He couldn't meet my eyes, so I didn't make him.
"Is that really how you felt?" I croaked, my throat still tight. He nodded solemnly. Looking around at the rest of the guys I saw that they two didn't want to look me in the eye. "I'm not mad at you guys. I could never be mad at you guys for wanting to keep that...pain from me. You guys saved me." At that they finally looked at me, and I mean really looked. I tried not to cry again, but my efforts were futile. I broke down all over again.
Seeing myself like that had been a nightmare I'm pretty sure I had before. The way I had been floating, not conscious and barely breathing. I could have hurt them or died, the possibilites were endless. I saw the world slightly different now, like it was tilted. "What does this all mean," I asked Kelen, sniffling. Alaric rushed back to me with tissues, dabbing at my tears. I gave him a sad smile.
"I don't know, but as soon as I understand, you'll be the first to know," he promised then stood, pulling me to my feet with him. "And I wanted to go outside because we've been cooped up in here for weeks now, and I feel that some fresh air is long due."
Words failed me for a second, so I just pulled his head down and kissed him sweetly. Kelen only hesitated for a second before he kissed me back with just as much passion, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer. I slipped my fingers into his hair, tugging on it slightly. Kelen groaned, grabbing my leg and hooking it around his hip. I was now much more aware of his growing erection. Before we could go too far though, hands grabbed my hips and pulled me away. Kelen growled.
"My turn," Cas said smugly, making a dramatic show of spinning me around then dipping me down into a smoldering kiss. It didn't last nearly as long as my kiss did with Kelen seeing as Clent snatched me away.
"I'm not a footba---" I began with a huff, but Clent's lips silenced me. Forgetting what I had been saying before, I wrapped my arms around his neck and molded my body to his. Now that they had me all worked up, I couldn't get enough. My canines began to elongate, eyes probably glowing a bright red.
"Some one is hungry I see," he mused, rising his eyebrows up and down suggestively. "I volunteer babe." Clent pulled down the collar of his shirt, drawling my attention to his neck. Just as I was unknowingly leaning closer, I was again pulled away. I knew it was Marcus immediately from the tingles that shot through me. I liked them now that it wasn't so overwhelming.
"No, none of that. If she starts feeding we'll stay in here forever taking turns," he grunted, shifting me so I was on his back, then began walking towards the door. The other guys followed.
"Oh we'll be doing much more than that darling," Cas drawled with a heated look my way. Heat pool between my legs at the innuendo and I began to squirm. Marcus growled.
"I didn't get a kiss," Alaric pouted quietly, but we all heard him.
"Too bad---" Cas began, but his brother slapped the back of his head.
"Be nice," he warned. I glared at him too then gave Alaric a bright smile.
"That's because I saved the best for last. Ric gets to sleep with me tonight," I announced. While the other guys moaned and groaned, Alaric laughed. And the smile he gave me was so worth it. . . . . "That's not fair. You have Hot Head and Butt Sniffer on your side," Casbain complained looking at the two men who held him. They both bristled at the childish nicknames. I shrugged, tossing the snowball in my hand up and down.
"Surrender or take this," I waved the snowball in his face, "to the gut." At that he dramatically gasped.
"You wouldn't."
I raised a single eyebrow. "Are ya' sure about that?"
"No, but Kelen has a suprise for you," he warned, gutting his chin out at something over my shoulder. I barely even had time to turn before I'm hoisted over his shoulder. Screaming, I start to beat on his back.
"Put me down right this instance!"
"Never," he declares, punctuating it with a hard smack to my ass. I gasp in shock and arousal. I like this Kelen, he plays dirty. While he takes off running, I lift my head to see that Cas manages to break free and begins fighting off Clent and Marcus.
After while of Kelen running I give up fighting and get more comfortable in his arms. "You have stolen me away, Evil King," I sigh.
"You will be mine, Princess," he says with a British accent. I laugh at how awful it sounds then even harder when he attempts an evil laugh.
Stopping, Kelen finally sets me on my feet. I try to run immediately, but he captures my wrist and backs me against a tree. Staring down at me, Kelen licks his lips. "I rather like this position, June." The way he says my name makes me melt inside. And just as I'm about to get on my tippy toes and kiss him until I can't breathe, Alaric runs to us. "Did you cover our tracks?"
"Y-yes, but Marcus shifted. He can follow her scent."
"Well I guess we're going to have to be quick," Kelen said with a smirk, then lifts me so both legs are around his waist. Alaric comes over to us, a twinkle in his eye.
Before I can ask what the two are up to, movement to our left grabs my attention. Kelen curses then calles on his shadows to hid us. Squinting my eyes through the darkness I try to make out what it was. I figured it was just Marcus in lycan form since it looked like an animal, but the last thing I excepted was my dead dog.
"MILO?!"
