Chapter Eight- The Eavesdropping Raven

The floor above him creaks as he looks up from his scared thighs. It's been days and he was left down in the basement, his parents did come down occasionally to give him water and some food, which he gladly accepted and ate like a dog. They haven't spoken a work to Allen since that day when they were talking about the prince, and his mind still brewing with questions, 'I NEED ANSWERS!'.

He lets his eyes roam the basement some more, he hadn't been punished like this is a while and begins to ponder on the stuff he's forgotten that they kept down here, like that wardrobe that he's never seen open and has a massive chain and lock on it, the set of whips that they've only used one from and that creepy looking Chucky doll they have for Halloween.

In all fairness Allen thinks every doll is creepy, you can't convince him otherwise, from childhood he has way too many nightmares about people wearing cracked doll faces and coming after him, and when they do catch him they drag me into a bathroom and drown him in the tub.

He hears the door creak and his eyes immediately stop roaming and left fixated at the top of the stairs, he watches and follows their feet as they walk down. Allen tries his best to avoid looking higher, the fear of making eye contact was surreal.

" What are you guys waiting for, get down here we can't waste time" Rebecca half yell's, 'huh', was the little boy's only thought in reaction. Feeling brave he takes a look at his mother then to the top of the stairs where she was looking.

His body stricken, he see's five tall muscular men standing there, all of them have black hair and are about the same height. Taking their time as they gracefully walk down the stairs in a single file, their eyes didn't look at where they were going but rather at Allen. As they got closer he could realize how similar they all look, the only difference between them were the fact that they were not the same age. The one in front look older than the rest and it seem as though it got younger as it goes down.

They all stop behind Allen's parents and he let's his eyes gaze at their menacing expressions, then to his own parents sadistic ones. " Priceless, isn't he" Joseph said in his monotone voice. None of the men responds to him instead the older looking one push past Allen's parents and kneel one knee in front of Allen. He raises his left hand and places it on the small boy's cheek and takes his right hand and caress my thighs.

Allen, he felt so vulnerable, so terrified, he felt disgusted and for some reason guilty as though somehow it was his fault he was in this situation. Allen squirm's under his touch as the guy pushes the stray strands of hair out of his face, the guy smirks, seeing Allen's reaction knew how much impact he has on the little boy, only feeding his ego.

" Priceless indeed" he finally replies to Joseph, then he looks Allen's eyes and say " .. the council can't wait to see you, your royal highness". Allen watches as he pulls a needle out of his pocket and his eyes went wide. He covers Allen's mouth and sticks the needle in crook of the boy's neck, poor poor Allen, he tries to scream but all anyone could hear was the humming muffles, and even those that could hear let faith play its cruel game.

The substance he injected Allen burns from my neck then spread through the rest of my body, his eyes became droopy as his vision blurs, his head begins to pound and then in few seconds he went blank.

Meanwhile in the pack woods, Brayon's, or rather Amarok, his wolf, heavy paws pounded rhythmically against the grass floor. He was out in the woods doing his regular check for intruders, trying his best to keep focus, but all he could think about was the fact that Tom and Axel have found their mate and he frankly couldn't accept it. It gnawed at him on the inside, he doesn't mind the fact that their mate was a male but rather that he was a fairy.

Fairies are dark and twisted creatures, the sole reason they have become so few is because they got themselves into trouble with every supernatural being, the reason for them to be killed on sight, the other beings them a few around because of their powers and how useful they can be.

Having a fairy as a Luna will weaken their packs status and he does not want to be part of a pack that is looked down on, and right now their pack is the strongest there has ever been, 'I have to do something to keep our packs status cause it seems as though no one else will.'

He halts in his tracks and gets in a protective position, Amarok his wolf on high alert, he can smell something that should not be here and its definitely not a human. He pace around in a circle trying to pin out the direction of the sent, he hears rustling in the bush behind him and immediately spins around, point his ears in a threatened manner and begin growling.

He sniffs the area trying to guess the sent, the bush continues to rustle an it grows as he get closer. He perch my body ready to attack, it rustles and then out jumped a squirrel. He feels so foolish, but then jump back in my attack position as he realize that he would have recognize the sent of a squirrel, this could not be one.

" OK Ok alright you got me" the creature said. " I knew it... WHAT ARE YOU" He said instinctively questioning the creature and all it does is smirk.

" How about I show you" it says in a teasing tone.

Black smoke oozes from it body covering the sight of it, the height of the smoke rises and it begins to fade from being. As it does it leaves the sight of a naked girl, raven hair, black eyes and pale skin. She looks as though she was only sixteen, her lips were a faded black and her body holds an hour glass shape, definitely one of the most beautiful girl Brayon's ever seen.

" What are you? " He asks demandingly.

" tsk tsk Come on now, won't you shift back for me as well" she said so provocatively while twisting some strands of her hair in her finger.

Brayon smiles and shift back, as soon as he does she licks her lips and looks at his naked body up and down. Brayon smirks and said just as provocatively as her but in a more dominant tone " How about you answer my question first then we can move to my idea of what punishment I'd like to give you for trespassing ".

He sees her slightly shiver as she tries to hide it, " I am a shadow demon, lost out here looking for a way back... but it seams as though I've found something better" she says seductively.

Brayon leans his chin slightly up as he continues to rake her body with his eyes, he uses my speed to rush towards her and slam her body against a tree, he feels his member rise and smirks over her.

" oh cup cake I don't think its safe for you to play that game around me" he said and before she can even speak Brayon smashes his lips on hers and then kiss her neck. He presses their bodies together and begin grinding. Not a single word to be utter by either one of them.
