Through Gritted Teeth—BL;
Chapter 1—Essiah
Nothing haunts me more than that fateful night. The darkness was thick and suffocating as I watched in helpless terror while a pack of werewolves descended upon my mother.
Howling shadows, their eyes glinting like shards of ice in the moonlight, brandished sharp fangs and powerful claws.
It was a night filled with chaos, where primal instincts clashed with the fragile threads of human life.
As a vampire, I’ve always known that werewolves were our greatest adversaries—natural predators in the eternal dance of life and death.
But nothing could prepare me for the heartbreak of losing the only person who ever truly understood me, under the cold gaze of the full moon.
Essiah Lincoln
(holding a dead rose)
Essiah Lincoln
Funny how every flower in our home died along with you, mother.
Essiah Lincoln
I could've protected you, only if I wasn't too young.
Essiah Lincoln
I'm sorry, mother. (kneels down on his mother's grave)
Essiah Lincoln
(glanced at his brother)
Essiah Lincoln
(stood up) What?
Malachai Lincoln
You're going to run late for your first class.
Essiah Lincoln
My first class is still in an hour.
Malachai Lincoln
*sigh* I know how much you are grieving for the lost of our mother,
Malachai Lincoln
, I promise to avenge our mother from the werewolves that killed her.
Malachai Lincoln
So stop letting the grief eat you whole, Essiah.
Essiah Lincoln
Avenge our mother?
Essiah Lincoln
Our father won't even let you get near those wolves. *frowns*
Malachai Lincoln
Essiah, I will.
Malachai Lincoln
Just not today.
Essiah Lincoln
Whatever. (turns around)
Malachai Lincoln
Where are you going? *raised a brow*
Essiah Lincoln
"I'm running late for class" *said mockingly*
Malachai Lincoln
*grits his teeth*
Malachai Lincoln
Be careful, Essiah.
Malachai Lincoln
And stay away from that girl, I'm telling you. *snarls*
Essiah Lincoln
*rolled his eyes*
"You're nothing but a coward, who can never avenge for his mother. Essiah."
Helene Francesco
Are you good?
Essiah Lincoln
F-fuck, my pencil! *eyes widened*
Helene Francesco
Heh, sucks to be a vampire eh?
Helene Francesco
Anyway, the new student looks fucking hot. *squeals a little*
Essiah Lincoln
New student? *raised a brow*
Helene Francesco
Yeah! (points in front of the class)
Essiah Lincoln
??? (followed her gaze)
"Now, now please introduce yourself to the class sweetheart."
"Good morning, everyone~"
Makari Victor
My names Makari Viktor *winks*
Helene Francesco
Oh my lord- (covers her face as she blushes)
Essiah Lincoln
*dizzy* Shit... That feeling again.. (looks down)
Essiah Lincoln
[I'm feeling dizzy... Again?] (massaged his temples)
Essiah Lincoln
[I'm hungry, fuck.] *snarls silently*
Helene Francesco
Dude, I know that you're busy being an artist—but at least say Hi back. *teased*
Essiah Lincoln
Wha-what? (looks to his other side)
Makari Victor
Hello again *chuckles*
Essiah Lincoln
The fuck? Oh- (turns to Helene)
Essiah Lincoln
What's his name again? *whispers*
Helene Francesco
Come on, dude! He just introduced himself! Such a meannie, Essiah~~
Essiah Lincoln
Shut your ass! I was-!
Makari Victor
Essiah, ah your name is cool
Essiah Lincoln
Ah- (faced Makari)
Makari Victor
I'm Makari. *smiles*
Makari Victor
*grins* what are you drawing?
Makari Victor
*leans closer to Essiah's sketchbook* wow you draw amazingly!
Essiah Lincoln
(moves back) Uh I know, but-
Essiah Lincoln
[Fuck, I feel much more dizzy] *dizzy*
Makari Victor
Can I see more? (grabs his sketchbook)
Essiah Lincoln
*eyes widened* Hey!
Essiah Lincoln
(snatched back his sketchbook)
Essiah Lincoln
Mind your business, assh0le!
Helene Francesco
*surprised* Essiah, calm down-
Makari Victor
*raised his brows* Damn, what's your problem?
Makari Victor
I just wanted to be friends. (crossed his arms)
Essiah Lincoln
Well, I don't want to.
Essiah Lincoln
So can you leave me the fuck alone? *glares*
Makari Victor
You're being a jerk, are you that sensitive? *glares back*
Essiah Lincoln
That's none of your business!
Helene Francesco
Please calm down-
Essiah Lincoln
You were being a jerk first!
Helene Francesco
Please both of you calm down...
Helene Francesco
Everyone is staring at you.
Essiah Lincoln
Tsch, he started it.
Makari Victor
Whatever then? (looks away)
Helene Francesco
*chuckles* you both act like girls.
Essiah Lincoln
Shut up, woman.
The first class wrapped up, and I sighed in relief, convinced that was the last I’d see of him. Little did I know, fate had other plans. He was in every single one of my classes!
Essiah Lincoln
Ugh.. *dizzy*
Essiah Lincoln
The fuck? (looks down on his chair before looking at Makari)
Makari Victor
My bad. (looks away)
Essiah Lincoln
(painting) *sigh*
Essiah Lincoln
I almost forgot how mom looks like...
Essiah Lincoln
I wonde- *missed* fuck!
Essiah Lincoln
Dude, watch it! (turns to Makari)
Makari Victor
Oh- I'm sorry. I was trying to reach for my paint brush. It fell. *mocks him*
Essiah Lincoln
Fucking- whatever. *continues on what he was doing*
Essiah Lincoln
*taking notes*
Essiah Lincoln
*eyes widened*
Essiah Lincoln
Your ink! (glared at Makari)
Makari Victor
Oh- I didn't notice my pen was broken
Makari Victor
My bad. *grins*
Essiah Lincoln
*snarls* Asshole.
Essiah Lincoln
(glaring at Makari from under the tree)
Helene Francesco
Daamnn, he's really getting on your nerves. Huh?
Essiah Lincoln
Damn right, he is.
Essiah Lincoln
I don't get the hype with that jerk.
Essiah Lincoln
He even splashed some ink on my shirt.(showed Helene)
Helene Francesco
Ah, that sucks.
Helene Francesco
But hey, I can't help but notice your behavior today.
Helene Francesco
Is it... Is it your mom's death anniversary?
Essiah Lincoln
*flinched*...
Essiah Lincoln
Yeah.. I'm sorry. I'm really frustrated today.
Helene Francesco
It's fine, I understand you. *taps his shoulder*
Helene Francesco
Here, eat this. (passed the ice cream to him)
Essiah Lincoln
Thank you. (grabs it)
Helene Francesco
Hey, I know how bad you're going through right now.
Helene Francesco
But don't forget to keep your calm down, okay?
Helene Francesco
You wouldn't want your fangs to show up.
Essiah Lincoln
I-I'm trying, Helene.
Essiah Lincoln
Thank you for reminding me.
Essiah Lincoln
But that guy- (snarls at Makari)
Essiah Lincoln
Good lord—he's pissing the shit out of me.
Helene Francesco
*chuckles* so you're letting a transfer student get in your nerves?
Essiah Lincoln
*raised a brow* Whatever, Helene.
Essiah Lincoln
I just want to go home right now.
Helene Francesco
Hang in there.
Essiah Lincoln
Why... The fuck.
Helene Francesco
Your luck is so bad, huh? *teased him*
Essiah Lincoln
Why is here?! And why is he smiling?!
"alright students, please group yourselves now. Give me a piece of paper containing all group member's names after."
Essiah Lincoln
Ugh - whatever.
Helene Francesco
I wrote both our names down. (showed him the paper)
Makari Victor
(looks around)
"Me and my friend, Hayley here"
"We were just thinking if you wanted to join our group?"
Makari Victor
Sorry, but I want to join Helene's group.
Helene Francesco
*flinched* huh?
Makari Victor
Hi, Helene. *smiles*
Helene Francesco
Uh- Hello? *blushed*
Makari Victor
May I join your group?
Helene Francesco
Eh- huh? My group?
Helene Francesco
Me and Essiah are already in a group.. (glanced at Essiah)
Essiah Lincoln
Yes! You can't join our grou-!
Helene Francesco
But I don't mind you joining! *giggles*
Essiah Lincoln
HELENE????!!
Makari Victor
Thank you.(gives Helene a single flower)
Makari Victor
And hello, groupmate. (glanced at Essiah shooting him a glare)
Essiah Lincoln
*grits his teeth*
Viktoria Serapphine
Hello, gorgeous reader.
Viktoria Serapphine

Chapter 2—Sealing a contract
Helene Francesco
You both—
Helene Francesco
Did nothing but argue instead of helping for this group project.
Makari Victor
We're sorry.
Essiah Lincoln
You're the one who keep starting the arguments!
Makari Victor
Me? You're literally being a jerk, and you're still saying me??!
Essiah Lincoln
It's because it's true! And what jerk?!
Helene Francesco
You both shut up!
Helene Francesco
We won't get any work done if you keep arguing!
Essiah Lincoln
(looks outside)
Essiah Lincoln
[the sun is setting...I need to go home.]
Essiah Lincoln
Helene, I'll go home for now.
Helene Francesco
Huh? Okay..
Makari Victor
You can't leave!
Essiah Lincoln
*furrowed his brows* and why not?
Makari Victor
You can't leave until we finish this project!
Helene Francesco
Hey, it's oka-
Makari Victor
You think you can just escape just like that?
Essiah Lincoln
Who are you to order me around, assh0le?!
Makari Victor
I'm just saying that you need to contribute for this project! (grabs him by the collar)
Essiah Lincoln
I am contributing! I just need to go home right now!
Makari Victor
You're just trying to escape!
Essiah Lincoln
Fuck- shut up! (shoved him away)
Essiah Lincoln
I'm leaving, Helene. (walked towards the door)
Essiah Lincoln
(grabbed the door knob)
Makari Victor
(pinned him on the door)
Makari Victor
(leaned closer to Essiah) You're not leaving until we finish this project, Essiah
Helene Francesco
Makari, it's okay!
Makari Victor
No it's not!
Essiah Lincoln
Mmph.. *dizzy*
Essiah Lincoln
[I'm really hungry now... I need blood..]
Helene Francesco
Essiah... *worried*
Essiah Lincoln
(glanced up at Makari)
Makari Victor
What? Too weak to speak now?
Essiah Lincoln
Ugh... (glanced at his neck showing)
Essiah Lincoln
[F-fuck, not this guy...]
Makari was taken aback as he caught sight of Essiah's face beginning to flush, a vibrant shade of red creeping across his cheeks.
Sweat beaded on Essiah's forehead, betraying His attempts to maintain a calm facade.
The tension in the air was palpable as he fought to hold himself steady, each passing moment hinting at the emotions simmering just beneath the surface.
Makari Victor
*gulps* Hey- are you okay?
Helene Francesco
*alerted* Oh no-
Essiah Lincoln
(grabs him by the collar) You fucking-
Essiah Lincoln
*fangs showed* You're so annoying! (pushed Makari a little)
Essiah Lincoln
I'm going to- *about to attack him*
Helene Francesco
ESSIAH, NO! (rushed towards him)
Essiah Lincoln
*flinched* (snapped back into his senses)
Essiah Lincoln
Sh-shit...(pulled back)
Makari Victor
I-I'm sorry-
Essiah Lincoln
*glared at him* (runs out of the house)
Helene Francesco
Essiah, wait-!
Makari Victor
What's with him?
Helene Francesco
Uhm, he mentioned that he wasn't feeling well earlier
Helene Francesco
Maybe he just needs to rest
Helene Francesco
Yes? (sits back on her bed)
Makari Victor
Can I ask you a question?
Helene Francesco
Pfft, what?
Makari Victor
Why are you laughing?
Helene Francesco
Hm~*chuckles*
Essiah Lincoln
... (walking home)
Essiah was walking home through the forest at night. The moon had risen high as he made his way through the tall trees. His vision was getting blurry as his dizziness intensified.
Essiah Lincoln
That wasn't so professional of me...
Essiah Lincoln
Why did he have to get into my nerves? *frowns*
Essiah Lincoln
I almost gave up my identity...
Essiah Lincoln
Ugh- (stops near a tree) I'm so hungry.
Essiah Lincoln
It's late, I need to get home before wolves starts coming ou- *flinched*
Before him stood the shadowy outline of a wolf, sleek and poised.
Essiah's heart raced as he caught sight of those glowing eyes piercing through the foliage. The wolf, a magnificent creature, held him
Captive in its stare, and a wave of horror washed over him.
As it edged closer, every measured step reverberated in his mind, conjuring up a whirlwind of terrifying possibilities that sent panic coursing through his veins.
The instinct to flee flickered within him, battling against the sheer awe of the creature before him.
Essiah Lincoln
S-stay back!
Essiah Lincoln
[that night can't happen again..]
Essiah Lincoln
*shut his eyes closed* fucking memories-
The wolf ambled forward, its gait steady but its expression a mix of confusion and concern. It halted, locking eyes with Essiah, who was struggling to regain his focus.
Essiah's snarl cut through the air, sharp and menacing. The wolf flinched, its instinct kicking in, and it took a hesitant step back before turning and sprinting into the shadows, leaving Essiah behind.
Essiah Lincoln
*gasping for air* I-I need to get home fast..
Essiah dashed through the woods, continually catching glimpses of a wolf stalking him from the shadows as he ran. Finally, Essiah reached a large mansion hidden deep within the woods.
Essiah Lincoln
(hurriedly opened the door)
Essiah Lincoln
(slammed the door shut) Blood...
Essiah Lincoln
I-I need blood, fuck! (ran towards the kitchen)
"Essiah?" A voice from behind him called.
Essiah Lincoln
(turns around) Brother...
Malachai Lincoln
What the fuck happened to you?! (rushed towards his brother)
Malachai Lincoln
Didn't you bring blood with you?
Essiah Lincoln
N-no, I forgot..
Malachai Lincoln
For fuck's sake, Essiah.
Malachai Lincoln
(poured a glass of blood for Essiah and gave it to him) There.
Essiah Lincoln
T-Thank you.. (drinks)
Malachai Lincoln
You're home late. Where have you been?
Essiah Lincoln
(puts down the glass of blood) A group project.
Malachai Lincoln
Hm, why do you look so tense?
Malachai Lincoln
Did you come across a wolf outside? *frowns*
Essiah Lincoln
No, why? *lied*
Malachai Lincoln
*raised a brow;suspicious* Good.
Malachai Lincoln
A pack of wolves were seen roaming near our home earlier.
Malachai Lincoln
It's best to be careful.
"They won't do anything to us, Malachai." Another voice interrupted.
Essiah Lincoln
(glanced behind Malachai)
Hezekiah Lincoln
They haven't done anything to the nearby animals too.
Malachai Lincoln
*frowns* (moves away)
Hezekiah Lincoln
Where have you been, Essiah?
Essiah Lincoln
A group project... I apologize for coming home late.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Hm, it's okay.
Hezekiah Lincoln
(passed a paper towel to Essiah) Wipe your mouth.
Essiah Lincoln
Oh- thank you. (did as he was told)
Essiah Lincoln
But what about the wolves, father?
Hezekiah Lincoln
They won't hurt us.
Hezekiah Lincoln
I plan to seal a contract with them to keep peace in our territory.
Malachai Lincoln
Fucking contract.. *said under his breath*
Hezekiah Lincoln
They will be our neighbors. *glares at Malachai*
Essiah Lincoln
But what if they do the same thing they did to mother? *worried*
Hezekiah Lincoln
They aren't the same wolves, Essiah.
Hezekiah Lincoln
You have nothing to be worried about. (pats his head)
Hezekiah Lincoln
You're going to come with me and your brother to seal the contract .
Malachai Lincoln
Father, you know Essiah is not ready!
Hezekiah Lincoln
He's old enough now, aren't you Essiah?
Hezekiah Lincoln
Those wolves won't harm you. I will make sure that.
Malachai Lincoln
*grits his teeth* You're being selfish.
Malachai Lincoln
What if they hurt Essiah?! *snarls*
Hezekiah Lincoln
If you keep looking into Essiah as a weak vampire, then they might actually use him to take advantage of us, Malachai.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Quit your cowardness.
Malachai Lincoln
Cowardness?! You're the one who can't bring yourself to avenge for mother!
Hezekiah Lincoln
That was a long time ago, Malachai.
Malachai Lincoln
You never cared for mother, didn't you? *shot a glare*
Hezekiah Lincoln
What nonsense! I deeply loved your mother.
Malachai Lincoln
Then why won't you avenge for her?!
Hezekiah Lincoln
Nothing will happen if you keep thinking about revenge.
Malachai Lincoln
*groans* Whatever!
Hezekiah Lincoln
(looked back at Essiah) You're coming with us to show them that you aren't weak, right Essiah?
Malachai Lincoln
*concerned* This old man... *whispered*
Hezekiah Lincoln
*ignored Malachai* Essiah?
Essiah Lincoln
Y-yes father.
Hezekiah Lincoln
*smiles* Good son. (pats his head once)
Hezekiah Lincoln
Get some rest, you look tired. (walks away)
Malachai Lincoln
Are you serious?
Essiah Lincoln
What else can I do?
Viktoria Serapphine
Hello, gorgeous reader~
Viktoria Serapphine
Had fun with this chapter? Don't forget to leave a like if you did~
Chapter 3—Grandfather Yefrem
Helene Francesco
Good morning, Essiahhh!!
Essiah Lincoln
Good morning. (checks his watch)
Essiah Lincoln
Have you seen the professor?
Helene Francesco
Uh, no. But anyway—I have something to tell you.
Essiah Lincoln
I'm sorry, but I need to talk to the professor first.
Essiah Lincoln
I'm taking a few days off school.
Helene Francesco
What—why?
Essiah Lincoln
(looks around) Well, there's this new pack of wolves roaming around our territory lately.
Essiah Lincoln
We need to seal a contract with them for peace.
Helene Francesco
Oh, but why do you need to take a few days off? And how many days?
Essiah Lincoln
My brother asked me. He said I should complete the ritual and let them turn me into a stronger vampire.
Helene Francesco
But won't that make you vulnerable to the sun? 🙁
Essiah Lincoln
*clenched his jaw*....
Helene Francesco
Essiah, please think about it? You won't just leave me like that, will you?
Essiah Lincoln
*sigh* I won't. I-I'll try to convince my brother again.
Helene Francesco
*smile* Okay!
Essiah Lincoln
But I'm still taking a few days off, we need to watch the wolves for a few days to see if they're going to cause trouble in our territory
Helene Francesco
Okay, understandable.
Essiah Lincoln
Thank you, anyway the professor—
Essiah Lincoln
Oh, wait. What was that you were going to tell me earlier?
Helene Francesco
Hm, are you gay?
Essiah Lincoln
Where did that come from? I'm not gay! *yells*
Helene Francesco
*flinched* Sh! (looks around)
Helene Francesco
Now everyone is staring at you.
Essiah Lincoln
*embarrassed* W-well, I'm not gay. Why did you even ask me that?
Helene Francesco
Well, Makari asked me yesterday when you left.
Essiah Lincoln
What the hell? Why?
Helene Francesco
He said he saw you blushing when he pinned you down on the door. He thought you liked him, that's why he asked me.
Essiah Lincoln
What the fuck?! What did you tell him???
Helene Francesco
I told him I'd ask you.
Essiah Lincoln
WHAT? He would mostly think I'm gay then!
Essiah Lincoln
He will think that I am gay and of course I won't tell you about it or at least he will think that I'm lying to you that I'm not actually— *panics*
Helene Francesco
Okay-okay, chill.
Makari Victor
Why are you so defensive then if you're not gay?
Essiah Lincoln
*gasp* (turns to Makari)
Essiah Lincoln
*Embarrassed;blushed* (rushed out)
Helene Francesco
Wait, Essiah—
Helene Francesco
Why would you tell him that?!
Helene Francesco
💬where are you?
Helene Francesco
💬tf? you raged and left school?
Essiah Lincoln
💬no I didn't and tell that motherfucker that I'm not gay.
Helene Francesco
💬K. Why are you home anyway? We have classes?
Essiah Lincoln
💬the reason why I was looking for the professor was because I also needed to excuse myself today.
Essiah Lincoln
💬family gathering. My grandfather's coming.
Helene Francesco
💬oh my god, daddy?
Essiah Lincoln
💬LEAVE MY GRANDFATHER ALONE
Essiah Lincoln
(puts his phone down) Freak
Essiah Lincoln
(looks up at his brother leaning on his door)
Malachai Lincoln
Grandfather's here. Come down and greet him. (turns his back on Essiah)
Essiah Lincoln
Okay... (followed his brother)
As Essiah made his way down the stairs, he heard a pair of voices. When he reached the bottom, he found his grandfather and father sitting across from each other, deep in what seemed to be a serious discussion. Meanwhile, his older brother Malachai was engaged in a conversation with their grandfather's assistant.
Alexr Voxanov
Oh, look who it is! Essiah my boy (made his way to Essiah)
Essiah Lincoln
*flinched* Oh, hi—
Alexr Voxanov
So awkward! Come on, I used to change your diaper for you, remember?
Essiah Lincoln
*raised a brow in annoyance*
Malachai Lincoln
You sound like a fucking aunt who always try to fit in.
Alexr Voxanov
That hurts my feelings, Malachai. Rude.
Malachai Lincoln
Even Essiah is annoyed by your presence. (grabs Essiah by his arm)
Essiah Lincoln
(stayed behind Malachai)
Alexr Voxanov
*sneers* Ah, such a sweet bromance.
Alexr Voxanov
Yes, no, maybe?
Yefrem Viktor
Enough, Alexr.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Come here, Essiah.
Yefrem Viktor
(signed for Alexr to take Malachai outside with him)
Alexr Voxanov
(understood) Hey—wanna go to the club? - (pulled Malachai out)
Yefrem Viktor
It's been long, Essiah.
Yefrem Viktor
You have grown a lot.
Essiah Lincoln
Yes, grandfather.
Yefrem Viktor
Come sit beside me.
Essiah Lincoln
(did as he was told)
Hezekiah Lincoln
Essiah has grown a lot since you last visited.
Yefrem Viktor
Well, but is my Essiah finally ready to meet with wolves?
Essiah Lincoln
*gulps* That's...
Yefrem Viktor
*glares at Hezekiah* Did I ask you?
Hezekiah Lincoln
*jaw clenched* Forgive me, father.
Yefrem Viktor
(focused back on Essiah who seemed to be tense)
Yefrem Viktor
It's okay if you don't feel like meeting with the wolves yet, Essiah.
Yefrem Viktor
You don't have to force yourself to do something you don't want to do. (held Essiah's shoulder)
Essiah Lincoln
*furrowed his brows;grits his teeth*
Essiah's body erupted in a torrent of sweat, starkly contrasting the chill that enveloped him.
His heart raced, and tears welled in his eyes, blurring his vision as he gripped the frayed edges of his jeans with trembling hands.
Yefrem, attuned to Essiah's distress, cast a swift yet knowing glance at Hezekiah, his expression a quiet blend of concern and determination.
Gently, he closed Essiah's eyes, shielding him from the turmoil. When Essiah finally opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the familiar sanctuary of his room, a comforting presence beside him—his grandfather Yefrem, steadfast and reassuring.
Yefrem Viktor
It's okay now, Essiah.
Yefrem Viktor
Tell me, has your father been forcing you to meet with the wolves?
Essiah Lincoln
I-it's coward of me if I don't show myself at the peacemaking ritual.
Yefrem Viktor
You're not a coward, Essiah.
Yefrem Viktor
I understand your point.
Yefrem Viktor
You were still young when you watched your mother being slaughtered right in front of you by the wolves.
Yefrem Viktor
You don't have to act tough and meet them if you're not ready.
Yefrem Viktor
You need to prioritize yourself first.
Essiah Lincoln
B-but father... I don't want to disappoint him and Malachai.
Essiah Lincoln
And even so, they won't stop forcing me into meeting with the wolves once you leave.
Yefrem Viktor
*clenched his jaw*
Yefrem Viktor
I told them to go easy on you... Should I just take you with me?
Essiah Lincoln
N-no! Please don't, I have a friend here... I can't... I don't know if I can get a long with other vampires well..
Yefrem Viktor
*sigh* I understand .
Yefrem Viktor
I'll just have to attend the peacemaking ritual with you then.
Yefrem Viktor
I'm not letting your father and brother take you in a place where you're uncomfortable without me.
Yefrem Viktor
I can't stand the thought of my grandson being forced to do what he doesn't want.
Yefrem Viktor
You're safe with me, okay?
Essiah Lincoln
*teary* I'm sorry—I'm causing so much trouble for you...
Yefrem Viktor
Don't be sorry, and don't cry. It hurts me seeing my grandson cry
Essiah Lincoln
(wipes his tears) Thank you so much, grandfather.
Yefrem Viktor
Everything for my dear grandson. *smiles*
Yefrem Viktor
Now come on, we haven't had dinner together for a long time now, did we?
Essiah Lincoln
Okay, should I call Alexr and Malachai outside?
Yefrem Viktor
No, let them be. I'm taking you out, so don't tell your father. Okay?
Essiah Lincoln
What?! But-
Yefrem Viktor
Come on now, don't you want to bond with your grandfather while I'm still here?
Essiah Lincoln
Of course I do!
Essiah Lincoln
And that's the least that I can do for you after all you've done for me..
Yefrem Viktor
*chuckles* Now, now, let's leave before your father sees us.
Essiah Lincoln
But I haven't mastered my teleportation yet...
Yefrem Viktor
No worries. (holds his hand)
