Kidnapped ~A Prinxiety Story~

Chapter 26: A Demonstration

The next day, Virgil got up out of bed, still feeling sick, but not as bad. He made his way downstairs to get a glass of water, sipping it slowly.

"He's alive." Lily says, hopping up on the kitchen counter. Virgil looks at her. "Barely.." he mumbles. "Still feel icky?" she asks. "Yeah, but at least I don't feel like throwing up.. I'm not gonna eat anything though, I don't wanna risk it.. By the way..." Virgil trails off.
"Your Prince Charming has been eating, he fed on Patton yesterday after talking to me." Lily says, already knowing what Virgil was wondering. "Still curious what it's like, though. Does it hurt?" she asks.

"Mm, initially, I guess. But once the fangs are in your neck, you don't really feel it. I mean you do, but it's not pain. It's hard to describe, but you can feel your blood being drained." Virgil tells her, taking another sip of water.
"You want to be turned, don't you?" she asks. "Eventually. Why?" Virgil asks. "Weeeellll, Roman told me it'd hurt, like a lot, and-"

"And he doesn't want to see me hurt, I know. But it's not like I'm going to blame him for it; I know it'll hurt, but I'm okay with it." Virgil says. "What I'm nervous about is biting someone- I don't want to accidentally kill them or something.." he continued.

"If that's what you're worried about, that's manageable. If you notice them start to go limp, pull off. They'll regain consciousness within a few hours, just like you did, my love." Roman says, leaning against the wall behind him.
Virgil jumped a little. "How long have you been there?" he asks, looking at him. "Shows how much you're paying attention, don't it? He's been there like, the whole time." Lily says, giggling a little.

"What-?" Virgil says, looking at her. Lily smiles. "Why do you think I said 'He's alive' rather than 'You're alive'?" she says. "W-well- but he was so quiet!" Virgil said defensively. Roman chuckles. "I had no reason to interrupt." he says. "Though, it was a bit reassuring to hear the part about turning you." he continued.

Virgil blushes a little. "Y-you could have told me he was right there, you ass-" he says to Lily. "How was I supposed to know you didn't see him?" she asks, smirking.

"Regardless, love, don't worry about killing someone, you won't. I'll make sure of that." Roman says, smiling softly. "H-how exactly?" Virgil asks. Roman gave a small chuckle. "Well, if you don't pull back yourself, first I'll tell you to. If you don't listen.. Well, I'll show you. Bite your sleeve, just for the sake of demonstration." he says.

"Umm... Okay..?" Virgil says, a little confused but doing as told. Roman goes up behind him. "Okay, so say your sleeve is whoever you're feeding on, right? You're going to be attatched to them pretty well. If I needed to make you let go, this is what I would do." he says, threading his fingers into Virgil's hair.
"Now, of course you don't want to pull them back, you want to pull them up, that way, the fangs won't cut the person they're feeding on. But first, I'd want to weaken the grip of your bite. And to do that.." Roman says, brushing his thumb against Virgil's mark, making him gasp a little.

Roman pulled Virgil's head up by his hair, making him let go of his sleeve. "That's what I'd do." he says, smirking a little.

"What di- what just happened?" Lily asks. Roman chuckles a little. "I made him let go of his sleeve." he responds, letting go of Virgil's hair. Virgil blushes a little, putting a hand over his mark.
"Well yeah, obviously but- how? You brushed his neck and he went all wide-eyed." Lily says. "That's because I brushed against the spot I marked him. Without going into too much detail, touching a mark can cause sudden... weakness, of a sort." Roman says.

"It looked like you were holding a kitten by its scruff when you had him by his hair; you weren't hurting him, just subduing him." Lily says. Roman nods. "That was the point."
"I still don't know who.. Like.. Cuz your dad said I'd be hungry once I was turned, but like, who would I..?" Virgil trailed off.

"You can feed on me when that happens." Lily says. Virgil looks at her. "Lily-" he says. "I don't care. Friends are supposed to help each other, right? Well, if feeding on me would help you, I'd let you." she says.

"I-.. Wow." Virgil says. "You're a good friend." Roman tells her, holding Virgil by the waist. Lily smiles. "I try. You know, a lot of people thought we were siblings when we were younger, either that or dating. Which is funny, because he's gay and I'm.. Not attracted to anyone. Romantically, anyway."

"Aroace." Virgil says. "Yeah that." Lily responds with a point. "Why did people think you were dating?" Roman asks. "Because we always hung out with each other at school, and we goofed around a lot. Fun times." Lily says.
Virgil giggles a little. "Remember that time you set off a stink bomb in Mrs. Johnson's class and she never caught who it was?" he asks. "Oh my god, yes! She was pissed! I seriously thought she was going to smack each and every one of us-" Lily says.

"Stink bomb?" Roman asks. "Mhm! It's basically this thing used for pranks; it smells really nasty, it stunk up the whole hallway-" Lily says.
"School was the only place I had fun, thanks to you, Lil." Virgil says, leaning back on Roman and smiling at her. Lily smiles back. "Well, I had to do something. I wasn't going to let those assholes ruin the entirety of your childhood."

"Heh, well, come to think of it, I might actually be wanted for murder right now.. My uncle did accuse me, and well, he's the type to tell cops anything bad about someone he doesn't like." Virgil says.
"Oh shit, you're right..." Lily says. "Wait, what does it mean if you're 'wanted' for something?" Roman asks. "Okay, you're a prince, right?" Lily asks. "Yes?" Roman says.

"Do you have a dungeon?" she asks him. "Yyyyes, I think so. Though my father's in charge of it. Why?" Roman asks. "If you're wanted for a crime by the police, if they find you, they take you to prison. Which is basically like being locked in a dungeon." Virgil says, looking up at him.

"I see. Well, I won't let that happen, my love." Roman says, kissing Virgil's forehead. Virgil blushes. "God, I love you.."
