He looked down at him, and then grinned. “A bit. It’s relaxing in the trees.” Wimer Aslix settled on a weave of branches that wouldn’t have held any one else’s weight and stared at the ceiling.The doorbell rang about fifteen minutes later, and Wimer Aslix climbed down to eat. Bosy’s nostrils flared and he growled a bit just before there was another knock on the door.“Werewolves,” he explained.Wimer Aslix rolled his eyes. “So you have to growl at them?”“Sorry. Instinct.”Wimer Aslix rose and opened the door. The two men on the other side quickly bowed. Both of their eyes had that golden glow.The shorter and stockier one smiled widely. “Where’s the early shifter at?”The other one rolled his eyes. “Excuse his manners. I’m called TOP. This is Kangin. May we come in?”Wimer Aslix stepped aside. Both of their eyes widened seeing a full grown tree growing from the middle of the living room. But then they both caught sight and scent of Bosy. TOP didn’t react, but Kangin bared his teeth.
Ueda noticed too and tsked at Alta. “Not taking care of yourself,” he muttered. “When was the last time he ate?”Wimer Aslix shrugged. “We brought him food, but he usually wouldn’t eat it.”The wind picked up, pulling the lights together in a small whirlwind. They moved faster and faster until all they saw was a funnel of light streams. The lights moved and spun around Alta first and then the other three, Ueda being last. He let out a deep breath and the lights split up, shattered almost and went back into the faeries.When Alta opened his eyes, they shone with that blue tinge of energy that Wimer Aslix hadn’t realized was missing. He took a deep breath.“Feel better?” Ueda asked.“Yes, thanks.” Alta leaned against him. Ueda held him, and Tegoshi hugged him from the other side.Herth’s human crawled over to him and curled up in his lap. She giggled when the excess energy in his system tickled down her body. Herth’s hand traced a soft circle on her thigh.Herth started, “no offense or
“Care to explain?”“Tsuki paid me a visit a few days ago. She begged me to come back and lead the clan, that they were falling apart without me.”“You always were a bit too compassionate for a vampire. They would have killed you.”“I know. We found a human girl with punctures in her neck, and found out later that her friend was missing. We thought it was Tsuki.”“And?”“And this human friend’s name is Lexy.”Yamapi stilled.“Fuck, I need to talk to Sahar. The human,” he added before Yamapi could ask.“You need to take care of this,” Yamapi said.“I don’t have fucking time for this.”“Jun would do it.”Bosy narrowed his eyes. “I don’t need Jun to clean up after me.”“He’ll help you.”“For what price?”Yamapi shrugged. “You know I can’t decide that.”“If Jun wants to help me, then so be it. I can’t stop him, but he’ll do it on his own. I’m not asking for his help.”“Fine.”They stood in silence for a moment and then Yamapi turned to him with a playful smile. “Hey, Chunnie,” he said, all
“Well, Bosy oppa, it was … not really. I mean. I was sitting outside like I always do right before school and I had to leave but I was waiting for you guys.”Ciel Karhillaz handed her a teacup.“Thank you, oppa.”“Was Lexy with you?”“Well, yeah. I mean, she was always with me.”“Okay, then what happened?”“Then this girl came out of your building and towards us and then that’s all I can remember until I woke up in Sylver’s bed.” She blushed.“Do you remember what Lexy smelled like?”Sahar’s nose crinkled up. “Coconut. Always coconut. She said it was because she had a skin condition and had to wear a lot of sunscreen.”“Fuck,” Bosy muttered and continued his pacing.Ciel Karhillaz stood up quickly and said, “Sahar, how about I walk you to school today?”The girl choked on her tea. “Really, oppa?”“Yeah, come on. You’re going to be late if we don’t hurry.”“Be careful,” Wimer Aslix said. “Take a few security guards with you.”“I will,” Ciel Karhillaz said, and shut the door behind them
“Of course I care. It looks horrendous and you are too pretty to have green hair.” Alta waved a hand and gave Jamie dark auburn hair that fell to her waist. “Is that better?”Jamie ran her hands through it, wrapped it around her, brought it to her face to smell it.“Thank you, . It’s gorgeous.”“Alta,” Lauren said.“You want better hair, too?”“No. I want you. You haven’t called.”“I’ve been busy.”Ueda scoffed. “Don’t lie to them.”Alta shot him a look. “I have someone else, okay?”Now all three of them looked like they were about to cry.“Did I displease you, ?” Kelly said and fell to her knees.“We’re just not pretty enough, huh, ? We’re just ugly humans,” Lauren said and face cringing, ran off with a cry.“I’m happy, ,” Jamie said and then waved. “I’m going to go make sure Lauren’s okay. I love you, .”Kelly was looking at the ground.“Kelly,” Alta said. “You didn’t displease me, okay? You are definitely my favorite fangirl, but I’ve found someone that really complements me and do
Wimer Aslix watched, heart breaking a little, as Bosy hugged the vampire.“Don’t worry,” Alta said. “It looks like he just got some very bad news.”“Does he have to go to him though? I’m right here.”“It’s vampire business,” Francel said, “and he loves you.”“Hey Alta,” Ciel Karhillaz said. “Bosy called them the Demons. What did he mean?”“I can answer that,” Ueda said with a half smile. “Jun was turned in the 1400s, or so the legend goes.”Wimer Aslix spit out his juice. “He’s six hundred years old?”“Maybe older. You don’t ask him, unless you want a very painful reminder why you don’t ask him. Jun was one of the queen’s lovers. The king got a bit upset when he found out that Jun was a vampire, so he sentenced him to death. Jun escaped. Over the next few years he turned his own vampires, Yamapi, Ryo, Shige and Massu. The next part depends on what version of the story you believe. If you’re a romantic, then Jun infiltrated the palace to kidnap the queen because he loved her. If you’r
“No, it’s alright. It’s really hard. I’ve been a zombie for about a year now, and this last week is the only week that hasn’t been miserable. Tonight especially.” He smiled at her. She blushed and looked away. “Anyway. It was really hard because I had to recover and then I had to spend three months getting used to not eating people and then the whole skin falling off thing is pretty gross and then SM didn’t want me as a soloist anymore because my ‘sex appeal’ was gone, but they didn’t want to get rid of me because my voice wasn’t affected by the change.”“I like your voice. It’s very soothing.”“Thanks.”Blushing madly, Deanna turned her face away and said, “Just so you know, your sex appeal is not gone.”Ciel Karhillaz grinned.“They’re so cute,” Wimer Aslix said.Alta fought down a shiver, but Francel noticed and said his name in admonishment.“Sorry. I’m just … I mean, zombie sex, what if parts of him fall off?”Everyone sat in stunned silence. And then burst out laughing.“Oh my g
Five very satisfied young men met in the kitchen a couple hours later. Alta cooked breakfast with a smile on his face that refused to go away.In the car on the way to the studio, it was very hard for Alta Presion to stop touching Francel.Bosy watched them and rolled his eyes on more than one occasion, but then his elf curled into him and he smiled. Guess he didn’t blame them; it was nice to have someone to touch and cuddle with.“It’ll be good to get back to recording,” Ciel Karhillaz said, snacking on some food.“No kidding,” Francel said.“I can’t wait to dance,” Wimer Aslix said.Alta groaned and looked up at Francel. “You’re going to make me dance today, huh?”“Yes.”“And even after what I did for you in the shower, this is the thanks I get?”Francel laughed. “Consider it a pre-reward for a job well done.”“You two are lame,” Bosy said.“Why?” Wimer Aslix said and nibbled on Bosy’s chin. “You’re always rewarded for a job well done, too.”“God, enough,” Ciel Karhillaz said. “You’
