Paris's POV:
A glare served with a side of coldness was what I was greeted with as soon as I found Louis sprawled out on a couch in the place we rented for our vacation. He frowned as our eyes met then turned over onto his other side, facing the back of the couch instead of me.
"Louis," I purred out happily and crawled onto the couch- getting on him quickly. "Hey, twinie." He tsked and looked at me sharply then sat up, forcing me into his lap.
"Don't twinie me. You ditched me- again!" He said angrily. "I admit I left momentarily, but I came right back! You took off without a word and was gone the entire night! You're a horrible brother!"
"H-hey, I have a good reason," I promised.
"Bullshit! I can smell Richard all over you! You didn't even bother to take a shower before coming back to me," he hissed, wrinkling his nose. "You left me alone during the time we both agreed to spend together to go have sex!" I gasped then and shook my head.
"I- I did have sex," I admitted. "But it was after doing something important," I promised weakly. "I- I found Dylan- No my newborns found him- we- we went and got him," I mumbled.
"You could've called me! You could've come back after you were done, but noooo, you stayed all fucking night with him and had sex. I ate my dinner alone," he told me then pushed me off him completely. "Your portion that Grimm brought you is in the refrigerator. You're lucky I put it up for you, because that's what good brothers do. You can go home." He crossed his arms and got up from the couch. "I'm staying here though. I already rented this place for the full week, and I'm going to use it. Go have fun with Richard."
"N-no," I whined and got up- going after him. "I swear I'll stay here all week," I told him in a begging tone and held out my phone as an offering.
"Go home," he grumbled, looking away from me. It just then hit me- all his hurt thoughts and emotions. He felt completely alone in the world... and like all his hard work amounted to nothing. Everything he had done to impress me, to build his reputation, was for nothing. "I don't want you here, Paris."
"L-Louis," I whispered and then widened my eyes as I watched him. I'm a horrible brother... I made him feel worthless... I reached out for him quickly. If I could.... just touch him. He smacked my hand away quickly and exposed his fangs, whirling on me as he hissed.
"Don't Louis me!"
"Louis!" I said quickly and went to yank him into a hug. "I'm staying!" I promised. "He seduced me. Mates are clever. I'll stay here where it's safer," I told him and then kissed his cheek. He growled and bit down harshly into my shoulder, tearing out a chunk of my flesh as his whole body tensed at my touch. I gasped and then yanked away- grabbing my shoulder. "L-Louis! Biting your twin over being jealous of his mate is stupid!" I yelled before teleporting then to get away from him- leaving him as I went back home- teleporting to my bedroom and took my shirt off- pressing it onto my healing wound. He bit me! He's so upset at me... I whined a little and walked into the bathroom to clean up. What an ass... He's a jealous asshole. Desperate for me.
"Paris?" I heard Richard call out from nearby, hearing me whining. I heard his footsteps rushing my way worriedly, but they paused as they neared the bathroom, and I caught Louis's scent.
"Paris!" I heard him call out quickly, sounding concerned. He was by me in seconds, furrowing his eyebrows as he glanced my shoulder over. "I'm so sorry," he said hurriedly and looked me in the eyes, searching them. "I-I don't know what I was doing! I'm so sorry! I wouldn't bite you like that! I swear! Are you okay?"
"No!" I shouted at him and then scoffed. "I'm a vampire, of course I'm fine," I told him as I patted my shoulder with my shirt. "But you!" I yelled. "Biting me?" I asked. "Like an animal?" I turned to face him then. "GET OUT! THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID!" I yelled at him and teared up. "I came back to you and you bit me." He tensed then clenched his jaw slightly as the look in his eyes hardened.
"I wasn't the one who left in the first place," he shot back then shook his head. "I'll get out. I can tell when I'm not wanted." He glanced back towards Richard who was watching us with wide eyes then disappeared, teleporting away from us. I eyed over Richard quickly and rushed up to him- tackling him into a hug and sniffled.
"He bit me," I mumbled. "I came back to him and he was so upset he bit me- not in a nice way." He held me close and kissed the top of my head then sighed.
"I'm sorry.... Part of that is my fault. I should have sent you back home instead of having sex with you," he grumbled. "Here, drink some of my blood.... I'll think about what to do about Louis." He moved his wrist to my lips then frowned as he watched me. Fuck... I've messed things up between them. "Paris... you know sometimes people do things they don't mean to. He seemed honestly concerned about you. I doubt he would teleport across the world to check on you if he wasn't."
"I know.... but he still did it and I know he's still mad. He gave me a look... he's so lonely, Richard.... I wish he would find his soul mate. Someone to make him happy- extremely happy.... Like how I've got you," I whispered and then wrapped my arms around his neck. "It's not your fault..."
"It is a little," he grumbled. "I knew he was wanting to spend time with you. You two hardly ever see each other anymore, and I took that from him." He lowered his wrist then wrapped his arms around my waist. "Fate is keeping his soul mate away for some reason. He just doesn't know why yet, and all he really has in this world is you and Rose as family... and even then, he never was raised with you two."
"I-I'm a bad brother," I cried out quickly as I thought about it. I made him so lonely. I dropped to my knees quickly and started to break down into tears.
"Paris," Richard said quickly and got down in front of me, grabbing my shoulders. "You are not a bad brother. You two are both still learning on how to be brothers." He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him before he whipped at my tears. "Paris... Louis is going to calm down about this, and I hope you do too. You both can't stay upset at each other forever, alright? You have to quit blaming yourself for what happened just now. We both didn't know he was going to feel that way... and it's more my fault than it is yours." He leaned in and gave me a gentle kiss on the lips before he sighed. "How about we plan a way to make it up to him, hmm? I don't like you two not being happy." I nodded and rubbed at my eyes before giving him a smile. He knows how to make me feel better. I leaned in and gave him a small kiss.
"I love you," I whispered and gave him a loving look.
"I love you too," he said softly then smiled sweetly. "It's not your fault, okay? He's just in a bad place right now, and part of that is because his mate hasn't shown up yet and because you're busy a lot of the time. Tell you what, let's invite him to stay with us," he suggested lightly, brushing my hair back out of my face. "He can stay in his old room here and spend time with you, and you won't have to leave my side too much to see him. If he's here, we can include him more in our lives and make him feel loved and appreciated. I'm sure if we just reached out to him, he'd understand a little better and come visit you. You are his twin. He can't stay upset forever... and I'm sure he knows deep down that you love him even if he doesn't feel that way right now."
"That's if he'll agree to stay," I mumbled. "He's upset and needy," I mumbled. "Grimm doesn't see him anymore and I have my time with you." He nodded in understanding then pulled me up against his chest, holding me tightly.
"All we can do is try," he told me softly then ran his fingers through my hair. "We'll invite him over and offer him time with us. He just wants to be included in someone's life- mostly yours, but that's because you're his twin and he loves you so dearly. I bet when he found out about you, he was excited and wanted to meet you."
"I know.... Maybe we should let him sleep with us for a little bit. To ease his loneliness." Richard frowned slightly then and kissed the top of my head.
"Well, I like being with you... alone in our bed," he murmured as he rested his chin on top of my head.
"I like it too," I mumbled and closed my eyes. We've been together for so long.... It's hard for me to remember not sleeping with him. I purred and leaned in towards his neck and bit down quickly and let out a soft giggle as I marked him. Richard moaned and grabbed fistfuls of the back of my shirt as he breathed in my scent then kissed my temple the best, he could with me at his neck. I pulled back from his neck and licked my lips before purring and started past him for the bedroom.
"I guess we better make up," I whispered and pulled out my phone to call Louis. I heard Richard following me closely before he kissed my neck as he caught up and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
"You two should," he told me softly. "If he doesn't want to make up with you, I can order him into submission~" He teased me.
"No, don't... He's my brother," I told him. "He should love me on his own."
"I was only kidding," he told me then rubbed my shoulders. "Go ahead and call him." He walked past me then sat down on the edge of the bed before he laid down on it, propping his head up as he laid on his side and watched me. I looked at my phone as I called him up, but all it did was keep ringing and ringing before I got his voicemail, hearing his sweet voice announcing that he couldn't come to the phone and to please leave a message for him to call back. I hung up quickly and looked slightly disappointed before looking at Richard.
"I've got to give it time," I decided and climbed into bed with him. "I'll let him cool down." He nodded then sat up, smirking as he leaned in and gave my lips a small kiss.
"Alright... we'll try again soon," he purred. "If he keeps this up for a month, we'll go drag him out of that castle of his and tie him up in our basement."
"No, we won't. That wouldn't be nice," I told him. He chuckled and kissed my jaw with a playful growl.
"Fine~" He purred at me then hooked his fingers into my belt loops, yanking me closer to him on the bed as he exposed his fangs and leaned in for my neck. I exposed my neck to him and purred as I wrapped a leg around him.
"So~ How's Dylan and Blade?" I asked curiously. He paused then huffed.
"Well, Blade gave Dylan a cure, so Dylan might not be a vampire for much longer, and he took him to his place and is planning to train Dylan to be a vampire hunter. Dylan also refuses to get his twins and let them know he's alive till he's older- which I offered to take care of the twins, but Blade has Dylan wrapped around his finger, so the twins are going to think they have no family for years, and they're going to be raised in a hunter orphan home." He tsked then and shook his head. "I think they're making a big mistake."
"Well it's their family and we're not doing well either... We sent Myra away for her protection." He frowned at that then started to pull away like he was losing interest in biting me.
"Yeah... we did... and I don't like that either," he grumbled.
"Well it was for a good reason," I told him. He ran his fingers through his hair then sighed.
"I know... but I wanted a baby," he whispered. "I missed holding something so small and innocent in my hands." He got to his feet then and shook his head. We're just not meant to raise another child anytime soon.... He started to walk to the door then, his shoulders slumped as he thought about it.
"Richard," I whined out. What the hell... he's ditching me? He paused and glanced back at me.
"What?" He asked and frowned.
"Don't go away," I grumbled. Nodding, he came back to the bed and eyed me over before he purred loudly and started to crawl onto the bed, inching up my body.
"You want me to stay?" He asked me then growled loudly as he reached my neck and kissed it.
"Well why would you even go?" I asked and frowned.
"To go find my grand piano," he purred at me then nipped at my ear then sucked on my earlobe.
"Well fine!" I whined out. He pulled back from my earlobe then frowned slightly before he leaned down and kissed my lips.
"Don't whine at me like that," he murmured then gave me another kiss, making this one slightly deeper.
"Don't leave me for a piano," I hissed out as I looked away from the kiss. He frowned then sat up on top of me.
"I'm not now," he told me then rubbed my cheek. "You know I love you. Don't look so upset. Come on..." He leaned back in to try to get a kiss. I eyed him over before giving in and kissed him back. He purred almost immediately as his lips touched mine, and I felt his hands running along my sides as he moaned at me. I wrapped my arms around him quickly and buried my face into his neck. He chuckled and ran one of his hands along my butt then, giving it a squeeze as he growled in my ear. I widened my eyes slightly as my mind shifted back to our time in the dungeon. His lips brushed up against my neck before he slowly pierced my neck, and I felt his venom slowly leaking into my veins as he lifted my butt off the bed a little, pulling my hips up against his. I moaned and gave a playful growl.
"Richard," I purred out. "We just done it."
"So?" He purred back as he pulled his fangs out and looked down into my eyes with a mischievous look. "Who says we can't have another go?" He smirked and leaned down, licking my chin slowly.
"Well... I just think we might.... spend too much time in bed- like we've done before." I rubbed his cheek then.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked and leaned his face into my hand, closing his eyes with a pleased look as he ran his hands to my hips and held them.
"We have other things to do than this all eternity," I told him and chuckled. "But this is very enjoyable."
"Of course, there are other things to do, but I really like doing this too," he told me and opened his eyes as he gave me a kiss. "It makes you feel good, and I like the little faces you make at me~"
"H-hey," I gasped out and then purred lightly. "I love you," I whispered and leaned in for a kiss. I don't make faces! He kissed me passionately, giving me a hint of tongue before he sat up on my stomach abruptly and sniffed the air as something caught his attention. He glanced towards the door as it started to open then smirked as a maid started to walk in but froze up at the sight of us.
"S-sorry! I thought master Paris was on vacation!" She blushed and shut the door quickly, but Richard was already after her with a hungry look. I frowned and sat up quickly. What's she doing coming in here!? She better be dinner. I exposed my fangs quickly and got up- going for her. Richard threw open the door, making her yelp before she dropped replacement bedsheets for our bed that she had been holding.
"Are you afraid?" Richard asked her, smirking devilishly as he walked out to her and stepped over the bedsheets, grabbing the front of her maid dress then tugging her towards him. The tips of her ears and face turned a bright red as she looked up at Richard, stammering slightly before she widened her eyes and put her hand on his chest to try to get away. I glared them down lightly as I watched them. He eyed her over then grabbed her hand, pushing it away from his chest before he leaned in, biting into her quickly, but she quickly screamed and struggled against him, trying to rip away from him. I eyed them over before clenching my jaw and went back into the bedroom. Hungry demon!
After a few minutes, the sounds of her struggles died away, and Richard came back into the bedroom with her blood dripping down his chin. He shut the door behind him firmly, locking it then crossed the floor towards me with a purr. "Paris," he husked out, snatching me up into his arms then kissed my lips, getting her blood on me then leaned down to my neck and bit down, marking me without a second to spare. I gasped and grabbed his shirt quickly.
"R-Richard," I purred out. Whoa... what's he doing marking me?! Is he going to eat me? He started to push me back onto the bed and purred loudly as he dug his fangs in deeper into my flesh, trailing his hands against my body. "Richard," I growled out playfully and tried to flip us. "We talked about this." He grunted as soon as his back hit the bed but didn't budge an inch as he growled back, tugging on my hair as he curled it around his fingers. I gave him a small huff before grabbing his hands. "Richard, we just did it," I laughed out softly. He pulled his fangs out then licked his lips slowly, looking at me in amusement before he laced his fingers with mine.
"Wanna watch a movie?" He asked then rubbed his leg up against mine. "One about pirates? We can watch it in here~ I was saving the movie for our anniversary of meeting each other."
"Oooh~ Does it have Johnny Depp in it?" I asked curiously.
"Hmmm... no, I did buy that pirate movie though," he said and gave me a kiss. "No, this one is just for us to watch." He got out from under me then and went into the closet before he came out with the movie, but I couldn't see what it was, and he was keeping his mind as blank as he could. He crossed the floor over to our TV in here then got the movie set up then came back and sat down beside me as it started to play. "Want to cuddle with me at the top of the bed?" He smirked and patted my side of the bed as he laid at the top of it. I nodded and crawled up to him and then curled up to him quickly and eyed over the TV. Oh man.... I hope it's not a fucking musical. I couldn't stand singing even when it was popular back in the day in the whore houses and opera houses. He hummed beside me lightly as he watched the TV in interest, and it didn't take long for me to figure out what he had put on. From the cheesiness and the way the pirates had their crotches bejeweled and emphasized, it was a porno- a gay porno at that. The captain was already eyeing over the first mate- his deputy.
"Richard," I tsked out and sat up as I eyed over the TV. Is he asking for me to get riled up and jump him?! Of course, he is... he's Richard. "I forgot something downstairs," I said quickly and got out of bed. He frowned as he watched me then leaned back in the bed.
"I'll watch it by myself then," he said then returned his attention back to the TV, purring in amusement. I gasped and walked up to the TV quickly and unplugged it.
"No," I told him and looked at him. He gasped and sat up quickly.
"Hey! I was watching that! He was starting to scrub the deck and the captain was coming after him!"
"Richard, we can do that together. You don't need movies," I told him and crossed my arms. "Not those sorts of films anyways." He frowned then walked right up to me.
"We don't need them, but I like them," he said then kissed my cheek. "I wanted to watch it with you.... Besides, this one is the less graphic one I have stored away."
"You're just wanting to get me aroused so I'll give into and beg you," I whispered and smirked.
"Maybe... I have a werewolf one if you're not into pirates," he purred at me then winked.
"I'm into you," I told him and started to back him towards the bed. His breath caught as he heard me, but he quickly recovered and smashed his lips up against mine passionately, moaning a little. I pushed him down onto the bed quickly and smirked as I eyed him over. "No more watching those movies," I told him and pointed my finger at him.
"But why?" He asked and exposed his fangs, growling playfully. "What am I supposed to do when you're gone off on vacations, and I'm stuck here by my lonesome with needs?"
"Richard, you didn't do it when there weren't TVs," I muttered. He frowned but gave a small nod before he started to crawl away from me, getting away from the edge of the bed.
"Fine, I won't watch them," he said and curled up at the head of the bed, pulling my pillow into his arms. "I'll find other ways to amuse myself."
"Richard," I whined out and frowned before starting out of our bedroom. I'm tired of being cooped up in here. I stormed out quickly and shut the door behind me before glancing the hall over.
"PARIS!" I heard Richard shout out from in the bedroom, sounding a little pissed. He came out then snatched my arm, yanking me towards him. "First you ask me not to leave, then you leave yourself? That's double standard!" His eyes lingered over me before he tsked and let go of my arm then shook his head. I pouted and looked him over before nodding in agreement and looked down at the ground.
"I'm sorry," I whispered before grabbing his hand. "I'll make it up to you." He frowned and pulled his hand back then kissed my forehead.
"It's fine.... I'm going to go get a bottle of blood." He walked past me then, brushing his shoulder against mine as he passed then put his hands inside his pockets. "Go do what you wanted to do."
"I didn't have something to do- but if you want, we can do something we've been wanting to do... Go after the hunters."
"With the twins still in the system?" He asked and turned, looking towards me in concern. "They might get affected by what we do to the hunters. I don't want them getting hurt in some way because we took out a headquarter or two." He sighed then ran his hand through his hair. "If you want to do something about it, how about we take out a European headquarter? That's less likely to hurt them... or we could just go on a date. It's been awhile since we went out of the house together on romantic terms and not murderous ones." I frowned before stopping in in my footsteps.
"Richard, just because the twins are in the system doesn't mean we shouldn't show those hunters who's boss around here. They're going to take over if we don't take care of them. We gave up Myra for this!" I widened my eyes then at him. "If you don't come with me then that's okay," I hissed. "But it's getting done." He clenched his jaw then, sending me a look.
"Don't you think I know we gave up Myra? She was in my belly. She was my first pregnancy, Paris! I didn't even get to keep her that long! She was taken before she could even kick! You don't think I care about the hunters, do you? They fucking deserve whatever we dish out at them! Don't think for a second that I don't care about what happened with Myra!" He exposed his fangs then and snarled slightly. "I hated giving her up, Paris. I hate the fact she's going to grow up not knowing who we are. She was ours."
"THEN SHOW IT!" I growled out. "Now. We're going to do it now," I told him quickly. "I don't care about the consequences. Let's kill them all! ALL THE BAD ONES!" He growled at me then snatched my shirt, yanking me towards him before he kissed me deeply. I purred and tackled him into a hug quickly and shoved him up against the wall. "I wanna kill them," I whispered to him.
"I know," he purred suddenly then kissed my neck roughly. "I want to too. I swear I do~" The twins will be fine. They'll just relocate them if they're nearby.
"Let's do it today," I begged and pulled away from him. "We can do it, we're Paris and Richard. We can do anything."
"Of course, we can," he purred then smirked. "Nothing is ever going to get us for good," he said then kissed me. "The whole world could be ours if we really wanted it, Paris." I nodded in agreement and gave a small smile.
"Let's take the world," I laughed out a little.
"The whole world?" He gasped slightly then looked at me in awe. "Paris... you didn't want that back during the war~" He kissed me passionately then, pushing his body up against me before he pulled back from it and ran his fingers through my hair. "We could've had it back then easily if you had let me have the king's throne."
"Well.... I thought it would be a good idea to not take over just yet.... We don't want an early grave after all... but now that we have things- beautiful things... We're unstoppable." He smirked then nodded.
"Let's take it then, Paris," he purred. "Let's be fucking kings of this rock." He leaned in and kissed me again, grabbing my belt loops as he yanked me to him. I pulled back quickly.
"Let's go get the hunters," I growled out. "Then when it's over... We'll discuss taking this rock over and shoving everyone off it and into the burning pits of our shadows." He smirked then nodded.
"I'll get the weapons~" He said and winked, starting off down the hall quickly to begin our new revolution against the hunters.
Louis's POV:
I frowned as I held my old pocket watch in my hand, looking at it as it ticked the time by... but that's not what had caught my interest. Inside was a picture of my beloved twin... Paris... who I had given almost everything for. I had done so much for him, and he couldn't even do something so simple as stay a week with me. I clenched my jaw as my stone pulsed bitterly. He doesn't love me like he should. All he loves is his mate. I growled then threw the pocket watch across the room quickly, getting to my feet. How many times do I have to be given up?! How many times do I have to be shoved away and forgotten about?! Not even my parents wanted me! My twin doesn't even want me! I felt my eyes tear up as I watched the little gold pocket watch roll apart in pieces from the force of it hitting the floor. Broken... just like my entire existence.... Why was I even born? There's no purpose to me being here. I fell back into my desk chair then hid my eyes in my hands, closing them quickly. I have no reason to exist. No one even cares about me. They wouldn't care if I died. This isn't even my throne.... I wasn't born into this... and I was given up by my true family....
"Poor Louis," I heard Grimm say from behind me. "Forgotten and alone. No one cares about you," he said as he suddenly started to massage my shoulders. "You'll never be respected by your younger brother if you keep living in his shadows. He's busy soaking up all your sun and not letting you grow. You should be the one with millions of newborns, a hot mate, and feared by all. Your name should be the one everyone knows... but you can't do that while Paris is around," he whispered in my ear. "Get rid of him and you'll be everything... bring him back to a society where they all love you and not him. Bury him." G-Grimm. I slowly lowered my hand and looked back towards him.
"B-bury him?" I asked quickly. My stone pulsed quickly at the thought, and I tensed up. "H-he's my twin. I love him...." Even if he doesn't love me. I sniffled then grabbed his hand, squeezing it for some sort of comfort.
"Louis," he said quickly and spun me to face him. "Paris disrespected you... you'll need to punish him. You're the older brother after all." I frowned and looked up into his eyes as a tear ran down my cheek slowly.
"Grimm... he doesn't love me, does he?" I whispered. Grimm would know.
"No, not since Richard came back into his life. Richard stole him from you," he told me and gave me a serious look. "He has no place for you in his heart now." I furrowed my eyebrows then looked down, gripping my pant legs as my chest ached.
"I knew it," I murmured then looked at Grimm. "Everything I've done since I found out about him was to impress him... and he can't even love me, Grimm.... Even you favor him!" Why is he here anyways? It's not like he cares about me either. He never visits me anymore.
"I'm on your side, Louis," he told me quickly. He looked slightly offended then. My breath caught as I watched him before I nodded, reaching out for him.
"Grimm," I said quickly, my stone pulsing. H-he does care about me.... He's the only one who does! I sniffled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood up, burying my face into his chest. "You're the only one who is...."
"Whatcha going to do about it? He's your twin. YOURS." He smirked then. "Teach him a lesson." I frowned then. He's right. I can't let Paris walk all over me. I've got to do what's best for me now, and Paris isn't it. He doesn't love me. He doesn't respect me. I've got to show him I'm not to be trifled with. I'm stronger than this. I'm Louis Grimm! I pulled my head away from his chest then looked up into Grimm's eyes, exposing my fangs.
"I'm going to put him where no one is going to find him for years and where he can think about what he did to me and remind him of who I am," I growled slightly. But where do I put him? How long do I leave him there? I pulled back from Grimm then glanced around before my eyes landed on the window and I looked out into my garden. That's it! "I'll dig a hole so deep no one will hear him, and I'll bury him in a coffin. I'll put something on him to keep him from using his teleportation too." I clenched my jaw then and looked back towards him. "He isn't ever going to treat me this way again, Grimm. I won't let him walk all over me. It's his turn to chase me. I don't need someone who is going to take me for granted."
"Here's a witch's number," he said as he handed me a card. I looked at it then nodded before I pocketed it then glanced my desk over.
"Grimm... I would suggest getting your son away from them," I told him calmly. "His babysitters aren't going to be able to do it as long as you wanted."
"That's fine. I have a new babysitter in line," he told me. "But you better do something about Laurence soon," he warned me. "He's not going to like you putting Paris in a hole." I frowned then and turned back to face him. I didn't think about Laurence.
"What should I do about him?" I asked and crossed my arms. Dante. I smirked then and sat on my desk slowly. Dante... Paris has mistreated him so many times- way back before even me. He would help me I bet. He would take care of Laurence and keep Laurence off my back while I work. "Never mind, I have the perfect person~"
"You better do it before he wakes up," Grimm said as he looked at the time on his watch. I tensed then. Fuck. I teleported to Dante's castle and sniffed for him, following the strongest trail I could find.
"DANTE! IT'S ME, LOUIS!" I shouted. He appeared in front of me suddenly and frowned.
"Louis? What do you want?" He asked and put his hands on his hips. "You don't normally come here."
"Dante, I need your help. Can you distract Laurence for me for a few years? Keep him off my back somehow?"
"Why?" He asked and then started to narrow his eyes suspiciously. "What are you up to?"
"Dante..." Shit... how do I tell him? Maybe just outright? "Look, Paris has treated everyone like crap! All he cares about is that damned Richard who left him before! He doesn't even care about me, his own twin. I want to teach him a lesson, but Laurence has a soft spot for Paris. I need you to do something about him, please!" His eyes widened slowly as he watched me before he grinned wickedly.
"Growing some balls, aren't you?" He asked me then poked my chest. "This better be worth it, Louis. I will admit that damn French Poodle gets on my nerves- especially with how he tells me how sorry he is that he doesn't spend time with his friends anymore then goes right back into his ways! I've two lovers from being involved with him." I smiled broadly then nodded.
"So, you'll help me?" I asked him then tilted my head up, watching him closely as he stayed silent for a minute then nodded.
"Sure. I'll help you, but only because Paris pisses me off," he said sharply. "You better not piss me off either. I'll even do you a favor and ask Val if she wants to get involved. She could easily help me keep Laurence away from you. They used to be engaged." I smirked then nodded.
"Great, don't tell too many people, Dante," I warned. "I'm about to get really powerful really quick. You don't want to be on my bad side." He shrugged then disappeared before he came back with Val rather quickly. Shit, he already told her?
"Dante," she groaned out in annoyance. "I was about to do some shots with my newborns, what the hell?"
"Oh, come on, don't you want to learn about this new plan of Louis's?" Dante purred into her ear. Oh... he didn't tell her. "He's going to do something to Paris. I'm going to distract Laurence. Want to help?"
"No, I'm not going to get involved," she told him and frowned. "Rose is my friend."
"Do it for Rose?" Dante asked then purred. "Come on~ Paris doesn't really talk to Rose either. We don't have to tell her you got involved. He treated his own twin poorly."
"I can't help that. It's not my problem," she told him.
"But Laurence might stay sitting still longer if you come with me," Dante whispered. "Come on... when was the last time Paris and Richard ever visited you? When was the last time he visited Rose for fun and not for her skills which he did not support her getting in the first place?" I frowned then looked the two of them over.
"Dante, we don't need Val. If she keeps her mouth shut, I don't care whether she helps us or not. I just need a distraction for Laurence so I can do what needs to be done." I'm going to teach Paris a lesson not to walk all over me. "I'm not looking for much help. I can do what I need to. I just need someone to keep Laurence away from me and Paris."
"Well.... Paris is sexist," Val muttered. "But if he doesn't want to be friends with me that's his own business. I have plenty of people to talk to and I don't need him on my list... but I'll help you Dante if you want me to." Dante nodded then smirked.
"You know he would stay put if you went over there with me," he said then grabbed Val's hand, bringing her close to him. "He enjoys your company~" I watched then smirked. That's Laurence taken care of.... Thank hell! Now to go work out the details to punishing Paris for a decade or two.
"I'm trusting you two. Don't let me down," I warned.
"Sure, Louis, we'll take good care of Laurence," she assured me. I nodded then teleported back to my castle, going to the bedroom of the leprechaun and pushed the door open slowly. Peering inside, I moved in then cleared my throat.
"Hey... it's not going to be safe here," I said and crossed my arms. "I'm about to fight my brother." He looked at me and gave a huge smile.
"Looks like you'll need some luck," he told me as he looked up from his sack of coins he was counting. I purred then and moved towards him slowly before I sat down beside him and kissed his cheek.
"I might," I said then winked. "I have a cottage a little way off you can stay in if you want to be near me. I just don't want my brother to somehow get loose and kill you because he found you in my castle."
"Me not so afraid, ey's a lucky," he told me and then pointed to my chest. "You'll be lucky too." He gave me a sweet look. I purred then leaned in, kissing him. At least I have both him and Grimm... and Dante to help.
"Damn, you're so cute," I murmured against his lips. It's still dangerous... to have someone mortal around during a time like this. I'll have to convince him to go to the cottage. Several things could happen if he stayed here. He could be killed by a raid of hunters... a werewolf attack... a Paris attack... or even a Laurence attack.
"Fine," he whined out towards me. "I'll go." I chuckled then rubbed his cheek.
"I'll be back to check on you often," I promised him. "When it's safe, you can come back to the castle." He nodded before standing up then and started for the door. I followed after him then kissed his neck before I slipped one of my cellphones into his hand then gave him the keys to my cottage, I kept on me. "There's instructions to my cottage on the phone... and my number for my other cellphone is on here. Call me," I told him then kissed his cheek.
"I will when I get there," he promised and then kissed my cheek. I nodded then rubbed his shoulders before I let him go.
"I'll check on you tonight," I promised him then sighed softly. Hopefully he really is lucky.... Fate loves to screw people over. She would kill him in a heartbeat right now. Besides... I have a lot of work to do.... I frowned then took in a deep breath. I need to take care of my no good, rotten twin. He gave me a slight nod before starting to walk away as he looked at the phone to find the address. At least he will be where I can find him later if I want. I promised him tonight... so I'll have to hold true to that. I frowned then teleported to all the way to Maine. Now it's time to plan the ultimate plan.... I'll have to build a house over here to keep control of everything. I'll show my twin why he should have paid me more attention and loved me. It's tough love for the next decade!
~Time Skip~
I watched as my twin's car pulled up to his manor before I lowered my binoculars. He's finally home.... I took in a shaky breath then closed my eyes, clearing my mind before I teleported to the doors, holding a box of cookies I had bought and put deodorized tranquilizers in. I need to look sorry about what I've done... and happy to see him. Paris.... I gripped the box tightly and gave a sheepish smile towards the car as it parked and Richard got out of the driver's seat, looking towards me in slight confusion before he came around and got the door for Paris. "Paris... your twin is on our porch," he said, looking in at Paris as he helped him out of the car.
"Paris," I said quickly then came down the steps, going for them. "I'm so sorry for how I acted. You've got to forgive me. I even got you cookies- your favorite kind!" He gave me a smile before looking at the box curiously.
"My favorite? Let's bring it to the kitchen and I'll get some milk for it," he said quickly and licked his lips before walking up to me and grabbed my hand. "Come on brother," he purred out happily. I tensed slightly at his touch then gave a slight nod. B-brother? It was earlier today that he told me to get out... and last night that he didn't come back to me and left me on that island by myself for our birthday week. "I knew it wouldn't take you long to come back... Richard and I were talking.... and he got me thinking.... We want to invite you to stay with us," he said sweetly. "We'll be able to see each other more again and you won't be so lonely."
"S-stay with you two?" I asked then frowned, looking between him and Richard. They would forget about me even if I did stay.... I handed him the box and rubbed my head, looking away. "No... I don't want to," I told him, trying to keep my voice even. "You and Richard wouldn't let go of each other even if I was here. It would be better for me to stay in Wales where I won't be teased from knowing you're so close but not being able to spend time with you."
"What? But us being closer would give us more chances to spend time together. Richard goes hunting alone sometimes." I tsked and looked back at him then, putting my hands into my pockets.
"I don't want to. I'd be a bother," I said again, making my voice firmer. "I do want to spend time with you tonight though... while I can."
"Okay," he sighed out. "I respect your independence..." He frowned and lead the way into the kitchen where he got a glass of milk. "Will you stay long enough for a movie?"
"Sure," I purred then gave him a soft smile as I took in his face, memorizing it. Richard watched us curiously then purred.
"I'm going to go up to the bedroom and clean up. You two spend lots of time together. Louis, feel free to spend the night tonight. You can head back home in the morning if that's what you want," he said then nodded towards me before he hummed and walked out of the kitchen, ditching us. I watched the door shut then frowned before I looked back at my twin, my brother.... Paris.... I'm really going to miss him. Paris purred as he dipped a cookie in the milk and started to eat it as he walked towards me with a small purr. He ate another one quickly as he looked like he was thinking of nothing more than the fact he just got cookies and milk from me. I tensed as I watched him downing them and gasped slightly. He's really... eating them. I sat down on a stool at the island and rubbed my temple as I watched him. There's no going back.... I've done it. He looked at me curiously then.
"Louis?" He asked softly. I glanced up at him then sat back slowly in my seat.
"What?" I asked, feeling my stone pulse in my chest quickly.
"What have you done?" He asked softly and eyed me over suspiciously. I glanced from the cookie to him then took in a shaky breath.
"I've tranquilized you," I whispered, my voice breaking slightly. No! I need to be strong. I must be. I tensed up and clenched my fist as I watched him. "I'm not letting you hurt me again, Paris," I said more firmly, trying to quit that nagging feeling that I shouldn't be doing this. I have to do this.
"Louis," he hissed out as he dropped the cookies and milk and started for me, but a limp caught up in him quickly as his body started to shut down on him.
"Don't Louis me!" I said and got up quickly. "You've never loved me the way you should Paris, and I have done everything for you! I have worked so hard to impress you, but all you care about is that lousy Richard! Even Grimm told me you don't respect me, and he would know," I hissed at him.
"L-Louis," he said and gave me a heart broken look. "Why... would you think that about me?" He asked and then fell quickly. I felt my eyes sting as I watched him before I knelt and grabbed a lock of his hair, tugging on it.
"Because it's true, Paris. You've never loved me the way I love you.... Ever since Richard came back, you've been so focused on him that you've forgotten about me. Your whole world is Richard... no matter how much I wish you could see me the way I've always wanted. All I've wanted since I heard about you was to be the best twin I could possibly be and to have your admiration, but I can't even get that. I can't let this keep happening to me, Paris. I've got to do something about it, and I've got to teach you to not take me for granted. I've got to become stronger, and I can't do it when I'm thinking about trying to impress you."
"That's so selfish!" He groaned out at me as he looked to be trying to talk to me. "Louis," he whined out. "Don't do this... You're not thinking straight. If you do this, I will never forgive you." I frowned then clenched my jaw slightly.
"You're the one who drove me to this, Paris!" I shouted at him then dropped him to the ground, standing up. "You're the one who ignored me all those years! I should be the one saying that I won't forgive you! You think the whole world revolves around you, Paris, but it doesn't! There are other people who you should go to see besides just Richard! I asked you to stay with me for one week, Paris, and you couldn't even do that for me! You kicked me out! You shunned me! You don't love me, Paris!" I growled then and shook my head as I looked towards the leftover cookies then leaned down and grabbed him. I've got to get this over with before I falter and get crushed back under Paris's shadow. I teleported us out to the site I had dug then shoved him down into the coffin inside before I slipped a bracelet on his wrist to keep him from teleporting. I quickly shut the coffin on him and started to lock the combination locks and padlocks- our birthday being the key. "You're only going to stay in here for a decade, Paris, and during that time, I want you to think about what you did to me," I hissed. "I want you to think about how horrible you've been to me, and what a monster you've made of me."
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!" He yelled out in anger. "I'LL COME FOR YOU!" He growled out. "You'll find my fingers gripping that damn stone of yours so tight!" He threatened in anger. "YOU'RE A MONSTER FROM YOUR OWN DAMN THOUGHTS!" I tensed then widened my eyes as I looked down at the coffin. P-Paris.... I would have never threatened to kill him.... I put a hand over my mouth in shock before I yelped and got out of the hole quickly. How could he?! Even I wouldn't have threatened that! Fucking Paris! He never understood! He really doesn't love me.... I watched the hole in heartbreak before I grabbed the shovel, hardening my heart as I looked towards the dirt. I need to finish this job.... What's there to lose? He never loved me in the first place. He used me.... "LOUIS!" He growled out in anger. "LET ME OUT OF HERE! BRAT!" He hissed. "YOU'RE A JEALOUS BRAT! RICHARD WILL FIND AND TORTURE YOU!"
"I DON'T FUCKING CARE, PARIS!" I shouted back at him. "You think I care about something like that?! It's an eat or be eaten world out there, Paris! I grew up ALONE! I can tough it out against Richard! I'll stick him in a hole on the other side of the earth if he dares touch me!" I growled then exposed my fangs. "How fucking could you, Paris?! I'm your twin! All I asked for was one week! I cared for you when Richard didn't! I helped you off that island, and I helped build the Grimm mansion with you! I gave you my best years! You can't even pull your head out of your ass long enough to see that I needed you! Grimm is fucking right!"
"NO! I was coming back!" He told me and growled. "I came back. I had something to take care of.... I didn't have to come back, but I did."
"You came back the next day after you got fucked by Richard," I hissed. I didn't even screw around with my buddy when I rescued him.... I clenched my jaw then started to dump dirt on his coffin. "You can't make me stop, Paris. I'm committed to this. I'm not letting you run my life anymore. I'm sick of it! I can't take another second of you claiming to love me and then running off with Richard. Ever since he got back, that's all you care about is your damn Richard.... It's like we're not even twins with how you act towards me." I frowned then quickly shoveled more dirt in. I can't let him do this to me. I can't let him win.
"We're not anymore!" He growled out. "Not after now! WE'RE OVER!" I tensed as my stone pulsed harshly at those words, sending a rack of pain through my chest like it had cracked a little. I glanced down at the hole then held onto the shovel tightly like it was my lifeline. It wasn't even that long ago... that I found him on that beach and brought him to my camp to help him.... I took him into my life with loving arms... and this is how he repays me... hatred... and shunning. He pays me back by not even giving me a second of attention... when I gave him my all.... I heard him getting quiet now. Like the tranquilizers got to him. I glanced at the coffin then took in a deep breath before I looked at the dirt. I've got to do this. There's no going back... and I'm going to be on top of the food chain after this.... I'm going to open a new chapter in my life- a Paris-less one....
