Through Gritted Teeth—BL;
Chapter 4—Wandering in the forest
The moon was glowing high up in the sky when Essiah returned home with his grandfather.
Hezekiah greeted the two with a glare in his eyes, seemingly annoyed of the sudden disappearance of the two.
Yefrem Viktor
Stop staring at me with those eyes.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Where have you been?
Yefrem Viktor
[cuts him off] I took my dear grandson somewhere peaceful to rest his mind from all the stress you've given him. *said seriously"
Hezekiah Lincoln
"frowns" Well, you're late.
Hezekiah Lincoln
The peacemaking ritual is supposed to be five minutes ago.
Yefrem Viktor
Five minutes won't kill them. *mocked*
Hezekiah Lincoln
*growls lightly* let's just go. (walks away)
Essiah Lincoln
*gulps*....
Yefrem Viktor
(holds his grandson's hand) Don't be afraid
Yefrem Viktor
Grandfather is with you.
Essiah Lincoln
(nods slightly)
Wolves can be heard howling as the five vampires walk through the dark forest.
The glimmer of the moonlight scattered across the trees as the five arrived, surrounding all of them giving tension in the air between the vampires and the wolves.
Essiah held his own breath as he saw a familiar face among the strangers in front of him.
Essiah Lincoln
*inhales* This guy... *glares*
Essiah Lincoln
Nothing, grandpa.
Yefrem Viktor
Don't be worried, I'm with you. Okay?
Essiah Lincoln
Yes, grandpa. Thank you...
Yefrem Viktor
Alright. (rests his hand on Essiah's shoulder)
Essiah caught himself glaring at the familiar face in front of him, getting annoyed at the mocking smirk the other one gave him.
Malachai Lincoln
*taps Essiah's finger*
Essiah Lincoln
(glanced at his brother)
Malachai Lincoln
Y'know that guy?
Essiah Lincoln
(looks back at the man in front of him)
Makari Victor
*grins mockingly*
Essiah Lincoln
*frowns* No.
Malachai Lincoln
*raised a brow* Okay.
Hezekiah and the leader of the wolves both made a cut on their wrists, letting their blood mix on the contract they made.
The contract made out of paper levitated up in the air as it shone bright, before falling on the soil and sprouting into a little tree.
Hezekiah Lincoln
We welcome you to our territory. (bows a little)
Sasha Zerkeyev
*grins* What polite behavior. Thank you for welcoming us.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Of course.
Essiah Lincoln
(stares at Sasha and Hezekiah)
Essiah Lincoln
Why is he... *frowns his brows*
Essiah noticed Sasha's flirtatious demeanor towards his father as they exchanged handshakes.
It was easy to miss. Sasha brushed his finger on Hezekiah's cr0tch as he leaned closer to whisper something to him.
Essiah Lincoln
What the fuck... *whispered*
Malachai Lincoln
Disgusting. *said loud enough for Sasha to hear and turn to them*
Essiah Lincoln
Good lord-keep your voice down! *
Malachai Lincoln
Don't have to. Let him hear how disgusting his behavior is.
Yefrem Viktor
*sneers* You two really are the opposite of each other.
Yefrem Viktor
I won't be surprised if your father reveals that one of you is adopted.
Essiah Lincoln
Come on, grandpa.
Malachai Lincoln
If I found out he's adopted, I'm abandoning this planet.
Essiah Lincoln
Yeah, sure. *rolled his eyes as he turned away*
Makari Victor
(appears in front of him) Hello, fellow neighbor.
Essiah Lincoln
*gasp*(takes some steps back)
Alexr Voxanov
Ooooh, is there something going on that we don't know about? (appears from behind Makari)
Essiah Lincoln
(stays close to Yefrem and Malachai)
Malachai Lincoln
What the hell is going on?
Alexr Voxanov
Come on, put your guard down. He's a neighbor now. *grins playfully*
Makari Victor
*smirks* I hope we get along well.
Yefrem Viktor
*raised a brow*
Hezekiah Lincoln
Father, may I excuse you? Mr. Zerkeyev would like to talk to you.
Yefrem Viktor
*exhales* (glanced at Malachai before leaving them both)
Alexr Voxanov
*grins* (grabs Malachai's hand) Shall we explore the beauty of the forest? (takes him away)
Malachai Lincoln
What-fuck! Let me go!
The two soon disappeared in the woods.
Makari Victor
Hm, you look tense?
Essiah Lincoln
*gulps* (took a few steps back before turning around and walking away)
Makari Victor
*sneers* (followed him)
Essiah Lincoln
Please stop following me...
Makari Victor
Hm? Why? (walks beside him?)
Essiah Lincoln
I... I didn't know you were a..
Makari Victor
Well, too bad. I had a gut that you weren't human.
Essiah Lincoln
(looks up and glares)
Makari Victor
Skin too smooth and pale, too pale.
Essiah Lincoln
*tensed up more*
Makari Victor
Does Helene know?
Essiah Lincoln
She knows everything about me.
Essiah Lincoln
Please— kindly keep it a secret.
Essiah Lincoln
I'll keep yours a secret too.
Makari Victor
I don't mind people knowing.
Essiah Lincoln
*gulps* No.
Essiah Lincoln
I don't want people to know.
Makari Victor
Well then. (walks closer to him)
Essiah Lincoln
*groans* (takes some step back)
Makari Victor
Why are you so tense?
Makari Victor
Scared that I might do something to you?
Makari Victor
Eh, I mean you can just turn into a bat and fly away.
Makari Victor
No? *smirks*
Essiah Lincoln
*glares* Fuck off.
Makari Victor
Aww, are you scared of me?
Makari Victor
Perhaps, scared of us wolves?
Essiah Lincoln
I-I am not. (gasped as he was cornered on a tree)
Makari Victor
Hm, sounds unconvincing.
Makari Victor
Did something happens perhaps?
Essiah Lincoln
Why are you so fucking annoying? *frowns*
Makari Victor
Hm? I didn't even do anything?
Makari Victor
(leaned closer to Essiah)
Essiah Lincoln
*gasp* Looks away)
Makari Victor
You're a big man, but it joys me to see you so small beside me.
Essiah Lincoln
You're a crazy freak.
Essiah Lincoln
Stop acting dumb (faced him)
Makari Victor
Getting cocky, I see.
Makari Victor
Really? (held his waist)
A shiver ran down Essiah's spine as he felt the warmth of Makari's hands on his waist.
Essiah Lincoln
(pushed him before walking away)
Makari Victor
You look adorable, Essiah.
Essiah Lincoln
*glares* (runs away)
Makari Victor
Fucking hell...
Makari Victor
I'm not letting you go away now that I've found you.
Yefrem Viktor
Where is Essiah?
Malachai Lincoln
I lost sight of him because of this bastard! (tightened his grip on Alexr's hair)
Alexr Voxanov
Ow ow ow ow! Master, please help! T_T
Yefrem Viktor
Alas, I'm going to search for him.
Malachai Lincoln
I'm coming with you. (pushed Alexr away)
Alexr Voxanov
*hissed as he fixed his hair* You're a mean guy.
Malachai Lincoln
Thanks. (faced his back to Alexr)
Hezekiah Lincoln
(stares at Malachai and Alexr bickering)
Sasha Zerkeyev
Had they always been like that?
Hezekiah Lincoln
Well, unfortunately for me.
Sasha Zerkeyev
*grins* Must be tiring.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Not really, he's my father's assistant.
Hezekiah Lincoln
They're mostly away.
Sasha Zerkeyev
Well, was that your son from earlier?
Sasha Zerkeyev
He seems to get along well with my son. *smiles*
Hezekiah Lincoln
Do they? (faced Sasha)
Sasha Zerkeyev
I think? I mean, they did wander off the forest alone together.
Sasha Zerkeyev
Is there a problem with that?
Hezekiah Lincoln
No!—no... It's just that my son is kind of scared of wandering in the forest alone..
Sasha Zerkeyev
And why is that?
Sasha Zerkeyev
Well, he's with my son, he will be fine.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Okay... I guess.
Hezekiah Lincoln
How old is your son?
Sasha Zerkeyev
I estimate him to be at least 20 years old.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Estimate?
Sasha Zerkeyev
He's adopted. I found him wandering in the wild when he was a child.
Hezekiah Lincoln
Oh. That explains the hair color.
Sasha Zerkeyev
Yes. His hair or coat is a beautiful color of gold blond.
Sasha Zerkeyev
He's like a prince, don't you think?
Hezekiah Lincoln
Yes, he does look like a prince.
Sasha Zerkeyev
*grins* You look handsome, Mr. Lincoln.
Hezekiah Lincoln
(caught off guard) Oh, thank you..?
