Incorporeal beings

Six.

Y'all I know I've been away for a while but I'm sorry about that! I am about to finish school so I been caught up, hope everyone is home and safe during this scary time! <3 Updates are on the way!

Everyone sat at the dinner table in silence. It was a long table meant for fifteen people but only three chairs were being used.

Jony ate the bread and cheese placed out for him while cashew ate cooked chicken and rice making jony's mouth water.

He shifted his focus back to his plate and then glanced up to see the person staring at him from across the table.

Astrid sat there with a cigarette in her mouth and red wine in her hand just staring at the boy.

Jony glanced away awkwardly and then back to see her still staring.

"Why are you staring at me" jony finally got the courage to ask and even now a little annoyed.

"I'm trying to see what is it that Donte sees in you." She says making Jonys cheek fill with color.

"I'm not sure what you mean." Jony replies averting his eyes back down to his plate to hide the blush.

"I think you do. Donte has never let anyone live, especially if he's fed on them." She exhales the smoke from her mouth. "No one has slept in his bed before. No one. Yet, here you are. Alive, bathed, fed. I don't understand. I see no worth from you."

Jony would be lying if he said his heart didn't sink from her words. Donte finally enters the dinning hall and everyone shifts their attention to him besides Jony.

"So? What's happening Donte." Asked Astrid.

"The hunter hasn't made an appearance yet. I went out seeing if he would but nothing. I checked all the streets." Donte said

"You think he would come here ?" Ask Cashew

"I'm not sure. Tonight cast the shield spell so he can't track us. Astrid go out and hunt and be back before midnight."

"You're not coming?" She asked

"I already did."

Astrid glares at Jony. "Have you? Your half eaten meal is still at the table" she gets up and stands in front of Donte. "Wont you finish it before I get back at midnight"

She strolls over to Donte and pulls him into a kiss but before their lips could touch Donte pushes her away from his face. "Leave."

She glanced towards Jony who finally looked up. She glares hard at him, throws her cigarette to the floor, and walks away.

"Cashew go with her. Make sure she does nothing reckless."

Cashew nods. "The spell is up on the catacombs. Once I leave you can't leave until I'm back. This place is hidden from any location spells."

"Perfect. Be back before 12"

They leave and Donte diverts his attention to Jony who looks up at him from his seat.

"Are you finished" Donte asks

Jony nods.

"Come"

Jony gets up and follows Donte into another room, a library. The room was completely filled with books and more books.

Jonys face lightens up. "Whoa"

Donte lights the candles in the place and goes to looking in the shelves

"What are you looking for" jony ask

Donte ignores him and jony sighs.

Jony looks through the other shelves and pulls out "Frankenstein by Mary Shelly"

"You like to read?" Ask jony who sat himself on the edge of a table.

"Yes" Donte replied

"Any reason why"

"It's better. You can create your own image of the story in your head. The meaning behind it is more seen and understood better from the book rather than in film." Donte replied walking up to Jony.

"Hmm thats true. I like films more though... do you have any?" Jony asked

"I do." Donte said meeting eye to eye with jony now. "What film"

Jony held up his book. "Frankenstein?"

Donte smiles slightly and goes to a case of old retro VCR films. He pulls out the film and hands it to Jony.

"Thank you. Where do I put it in?" He asks

"There is only a Tv in the lounge area, like I said I dont really watch films." Donte said

Jony nods "w-will you watch just this one with me?" Jony didnt understand why he would ask his kidnapper to watch a movie with him. He didnt understand why but he felt oddly safe with Donte. Maybe because there are two other people who despised him and would not hesitate to snap his neck if given the chance. Yea thats it.

Donte felt a bit puzzled at the human boys request. He has been feeding on him, and he hasnt even tried to escape Donte thought. The least he could do is watch an hour film as he waits for Astrid and Cashew to come back.

"Sure." Was all that Donte replied with.

Jony who was expecting a direct no was quite surprised. His eyes immediately filled with joy. "Lets go then!"

....

"It's aliveee! Its alive!" The scientist screamed

Jony who's eyes were popping out of their own sockets took another sip of water from his bottle. His legs criss-crossed on the sofa while Donte sat with his arms crossed, and legs upheld by the black leather ottoman.

Donte yawns remembering watching this film when it first came out. After a couple more scenes he feels something, more like someone lean on his arm. He looks slightly down at the human boy who was now falling asleep comfortably on his arm with his mouth slightly open and his hair hanging in front of his face.

He lifts his arm slowly and guides Jonys head onto his lap with his legs now curled up into a fetus position on the couch. Donte takes a deep breath and strokes Jonys back in a calming manner. Donte stares at the screen and feels his eyes get heavy as his body also falls into a deep sleep.

....

"What the fuck is this"

Dontes eyes open slowly to see Cashew standing in front of the screen with his hands on his hips.

Jony who was now laying on top of Donte while Donte laid on his back, legs spread across the sofa rolled his eyes and threw his arms behind his head.

Cashew grabbed Jony yanking him off Donte and onto the ground making Donte get up fast.

"Ah! Donte!" Jony screamed as cashew straddled Jony forcing one of his hands around Jonyisious's neck

"You think you can just come out of no where and take Donte away? He's Mine! Films are OUR thing you pestistite!"

"Knock it off Cashew! Now!" Donte yelled yanking Cashew off of Jonyisious and throwing him at the wall.

Jony catches his breath as tears flood down his red face. Donte goes into touch his cheek and Jony smacks his hand. "Dont touch me! Dont you fucking touch me!" he yells. He runs to Donte's room, shutting and locking the door.

"what the hell is your problem!" Donte screams at Cashew who's eyes are now filling up with tears.

"Movies are our thing Don" Cashew cries

Donte rolls his eyes. "Wipe that water from your face. Go to your room Cashew, I dont want to see you for the rest of the night."

Cashew looks puzzled for a moment until he runs to his room shutting and locking it as Jony did.

Donte runs his hands through his hair and takes a seat again on the sofa. Now tomorrow he has to make things right with his human boy and his best friend
