Drake stood up on his feet as he cleaned the blood off his mouth with the back of his hand. He chuckled coldly, that for sure is impossible for a child of eight years to have. The white wolf snarled warily as the young vampire was getting up on his feet after killing and draining the blood of one of the supposedly bad adults. It didn't advance forward neither did it step backward,it just stared warily at the young vampire.
Drake, once up on his feet, locked eyes with the last thug still standing, frozen to the ground from fear and utmost shock, mostly for seeing how his boss was killed. He was trembling,fear evident on his features, but the fear didn't let him make a move or run. Drake locked eyes with him but that only made his trembling increase even more, even to the point that he dropped his gun, his hands shaking and looking wobbly.
The white wolf sensed that the young vampire's gaze wasn't on it but something behind it. So did Josh and Edwin,as they turned their back to gaze at the over trembling thug. However, Edwin's injured leg was bleeding but somewhat manageable, seeing the way he masked the pain he was feeling with a cold facade.
The white wolf- Lucian turned around, he stopped snarling, getting curious as to what the young vampire was staring at. Noticing the last standing (bad) adult trembling, the white wolf, gave a small howl while raising his head and snout upward. That further sent shivers down the spine of the thug.
Drake already up,dusted his body quite calmly and quickly approached the white wolf from behind. The white wolf didn't flinch or show any sign, but clearly knew the young vampire was approaching him from behind. Drake stopped and stood still when he was some feet away from the white wolf, his eyes flickering with a killing intent quite common among vampires. His pink lips tightened forming a line as he gazed at the trembling thug, not far from him.
"Please... don't,..... kill m..e!!"
The thug voiced out, his hands waving at Drake, mouth trembling and tears rolling massively from his eyes. This is expected especially when faced with death- which is a kid with glowing red eyes and a beautiful white wolf with glowing blue eyes, especially if the kid he was supposed to kidnap.
"Please.... don't kill....me, I have...a..... family,a wife and..... children".
"A wife and children and you tried to kidnap a kid even killing his bodyguards and ambushing him?"
Drake snapped with a raised eyebrow, fire immediately bursting out from his right hand. The thug seeing one of the kid's hands bursting with fire, broke down even more in tears. He knelt down before his gun, weeping, crying and trembling.
"Please, please, please don't kill... me. I...I ... I just needed the money. I... really needed the money".
The man said between sobs, trembling in fear and horror,cause he knew death was coming if he didn't tread carefully.
"That you had to join a gang, just for the money? Did you really need the money that much?"
Drake asked,a smirk curving on his cute lips, giving his handsome face a dangerous outline.
"Please.... the Congressman..... promised a huge....sum of....money and I couldn't turn a blind eye..to it".
The man completely broke down, his words coming out in choked sobs. Drake smirked,as usual. Josh and Edwin washed in silence, the exchange between the last thug and Drake,so did the white wolf.
"But what if I told you that, your living is not to be decided by me..... What would be your reaction?"
Drake's words instantly confused the begging and pitiable thug, Edwin and Josh who watched silently and the white wolf who sat calmly on the ground. The confusion lying on their face including the wolf's furry face. The white wolf turned it's gaze to meet the kid with a devilish smirk on.
"What?!"
The thug said, confusion, fear and uncertainty clouding his features. The tears still on his face as he stared at the kid with opened mouth. Drake turned to the white wolf,a devilish and scheming smirk on, as his red eyes locked with blue eyes.
"Werewolf!" Drake called out surprising the white wolf and those that concluded the white wolf to be ordinary despite it's size. "Wouldn't you transform back and decide the fate of the thug that had ambushed us, killed my guards, injured my personal bodyguard and tried to kidnap me?"
The white wolf stared at the beautiful kid with messy red hair and red eyes, for once, it lost short of words. Lucian- white wolf contemplated on whether to heed to the child's words. A small gasp came out of his mouth while it pondered on whether to show it's human form. Then as expected, the eyes of the thug, the injured Edwin and Josh, fell on the white wolf.
The white wolf decided to show it's human form as requested by the young vampire. Without warning, it raised it's snout upward giving a loud howl that sent shivers down the spines of Josh, Edwin and the thug on his knees. Drake suddenly smiled, actually expecting to see the werewolf's human form, especially since this is his first time seeing a real werewolf.
The white werewolf stood up on its paws after which gave it's huge body a shake before looking up ahead. Noticing a cover of bushes from which it had leapt out from, it steadily started walking towards it. Josh Edwin and the thug on his knees were quite confused as to why the wolf was leaving instead of transforming.
"Em..... Aren't you transforming?"
Drake asked the white wolf while blinking rapidly. But the white wolf ignored him and steadily moved it's paws on the ground towards the cover of bushes. With time, it's huge bulky body disappeared into the cover of bushes. Drake's gaze moved to Josh and Edwin, Josh gave him a knowing look.
"To hell, you were actually talking to a wolf, calling it a werewolf. What other strange thing can you do?"
Josh said displaying a knowing look and a mocking smile. Drake sighed tiredly, he wiped his face with his hand (in his right hand there wasn't any fire in it). His red eyes dimmed and stopped glowing while he retracted his claws.
"Young Master,are you okay?"
Edwin asked, concern on his face and in his voice.
Drake looked at him with a funny look.
"I should be asking you that. You're the one..."
Drake said as he strode towards where Josh and Edwin sat on the ground. But he couldn't complete his sayings because a little figure emerged out of the cover of bushes.
Drake stopped what he was saying as he saw that Edwin and Josh weren't listening to him but staring past him. He rolled his eyes as he reluctantly decided to see what they were staring at. Turning around with a solemn look on his face, his eyes fell on the most beautiful creature, he had never ever seen in his entire life of living.
A boy of about eight years with a tall and lean frame, having a silk and smooth skin that called for one's touch. He had naturally red lips with a blue hair, blue eyes that were like the ocean. His blue eyebrows arched in a pleasant way and his blue eyes enchanting as ever. His hair,tyed in a pretty ponytail and his clothes compromising of a white button down shirt and a red shorts,fitted his tall and lean frame.
Drake stared at the boy, quickly enchanted by the boy's beauty. It was as if the boy's every move enchanted Drake even more. The batting of his long lashes, the smile that tugged on his lips, the movement of his eyes and every other thing drew Drake closer to the little boy. Worse was the case for Josh, Edwin and the last thug, especially Josh and the last thug who is were drooling, uncontrollably.
The beautiful little boy quickly noticed the effects of his presence (in human form) had on the humans and the young vampire. He quickly blushed,a tint of red flashing on his face while interwining his hands in embarrassment. That little action brought a lot of effect on Drake as Drake didn't even know when he started drooling slightly. The little boy was the most beautiful sight for eyes to be laid on.
"Em....em...em". The little boy coughed loudly, immediately waking them all from whatever fantasy they were in. They all blushed in embarrassment, looking away in order to escape the embarrassment especially those that were drooling. Drake had a tint of pink on his cheeks as he blushed uncontrollably from embarrassment. "Hi! I thought you wanted to see my human form?"
The boy's voice was soft and smooth like velvet, very soothing and was like music to Drake's ears. Drake didn't know when he was enchanted once again as he gazed at the beautiful boy beside the cover of bushes and being barefooted. Josh and Edwin were shocked, surprised and dumbfounded upon realization that the white wolf is actually a real werewolf. The little boy licked his lips cutely, worsening Drake's condition but Drake didn't know when he felt something deep in his heart. Something that should never have been there, something impossible, something more like a connection between him and the boy. But he decided to brush it off and wake up from whatever fantasy he entered, however, the little boy, unknown to him, also felt it.
"Erh.... I ... think". Drake stammered shamelessly, waking up from whatever enchantment or fantasy. He batted his eyelashes rapidly, removing his gaze from the beautiful boy while blushing and cursing within himself. "I... I..think so".
The little boy chuckled childishly. His red lips moving in an enchanting way, making those gazing upon him to be completely smitten under his charm. After chuckling, he moved his gaze to the last thug on his knees, he had dried tears on his face, mouth open and clearly drooling over him. Staring shortly at the last thug, he moved his gaze back to the boy with red hair who was once the young vampire.
The little boy gestured at the last thug on his knees. "How about letting him go? Whatever he had did, he already pleaded for forgiveness. At least, that should be enough, right?"
Drake snapped out of his trance upon hearing that smooth voice that was soft as ever. The most beautiful voice he had ever heard. He gulped unknowningly as he made to say something, but all that came out was;
"Ugh.... okay".
Drake muttered in his usual cold voice and unable to speak more. The boy smiled, hearing Drake agreed to let the thug live. That smile did a lot,a lot of things to Drake.
"If that's so, I'm pleased. Anyways,my name is Lucian. Lucian Parker,son of the last witch, Linda Parker".
The little boy, Lucian, said as he took long strides towards Drake while being barefooted. Drake's breath hitched, seeing the boy striding towards him. For once, he questioned about what the boy was going to do. He tensed seriously upon realization that he had no idea what the boy was going to do.
Lucian strode towards Drake,a smile on his face. Once closer to Drake, he took Drake's hand and shook it without Drake consenting to it. Drake unknowningly smiled at how soft the boy's hand felt on his hand. He closed his eyes as he quickly ravished the feeling that came with their hands together.
"Thanks for agreeing to forgive the bad man for whatever he might have did and for giving him a second chance to live and correct his mistakes".
Lucian said, that pleasant smile, never leaving his face. Drake was completely smitten by the beauty of this kid.
"Ugh.... Okay".
Lucian then turned to the last thug who was still kneeling. He gave a hum, signalling the thug to get up on his feet. Drake also turned around look at the thug, his hand and Lucian's still interwined.
"He already agreed to let you live and forgive you for whatever you had done. My advice is that you leave immediately".
Lucian said to the thug who nodded furiously, while sniffing uncontrollably,an aftermath from crying too much. The thug didn't waste time in sprinting off the ground and running on his heels, while heading for the direction that lead down the forest. But he didn't forget to mutter repeated thank yous which visibly irritated Drake and to which Lucian nodded to.
"I'm Drake by the way, Drake Robert and sorry for the ackward situation earlier". Drake said after the thug left. Lucian chuckled softly and beautifully, their hands still unknowningly interwined and Drake couldn't help but be smitten in awe. "And this is my friend, Josh and my personal bodyguard, Edwin. We were ambushed earlier and thought the forest was a way of escape".
Lucian nodded as he gazed at the injured Edwin and Josh.
"Nice to meet you all. Once again, I'm Lucian Parker!"
