Luckily, no one knew about the hidden hallway.
Biest often crawled back into it through the closet opening and just spyed from back there.
A small peephole near the back gave him the perfect view of his parent's room.
"Just have to be quiet, "he reminded himself silently.
Not a problem for this kid.
He flinched when he heard the door open, but kept from any noise.
"By God, he heard his dad groan, "what a day."
They came into view, arms linked in an old fashioned manner.
Cyreina rubbed his shoulder tenderly, "Let's get you to bed so you can get some rest."
She gently removed the over coat he wore with very little objection.
His father looked very much like a British gentleman, dressed like one too.
The only thing wrong with that picture was the fact that he had wild red hair, tinted with bits of black.
Seth gazed at his wife with loving eyes, a look no one got outside of this family.
"You work too hard, she told him softly, "I wish you would slow down for awhile."
He tilted her chin up with one finger, halting her hands from undoing the last button on the cape like thing.
They gazed at each other for a moment, neither moving at all.
Cyreina shook her head as if shaking away delirium, "I-I'll get you some medicine for those burns."
Biest clearly saw a smirk play over his father's lips when she rushed to the dresser.
As if she was eager to be free of him.
"Even after all these years you still fear me."
He said it lightly, like commenting on the weather.
The woman looked guilty for a moment, "I'm sorry Seth. It's just all those old...nightmares."
He seemed to glide across the room rather than walk, still smirking.
A shadow from the lighting hid everything on his face but that smirk.
The rawest look of fear came over her face when he embraced her.
An arch took shape in his back as his face settled on her shoulder; he was taller than his wife obviously.
Still that evil smile never left, "Poor Cyreina."
Her hands clutched at the cloth covering the arm that was sealed across her neck, "S-Seth..."
Biest felt as if his breath had left him.
What on Earth was going on between them?
Seth turned his smirk into the skin of her neck and she instantly cringed.
Most would instantly see why.
His father had fangs, not like enormous vampire fangs, but just pointed enough to be noticeable.
And at the moment he was using them to nibble lightly at his wife's neck.
She whimpered, blushing madly, and eyes shut tightly.
"P-Please d-don't..."
A soft, whispery laugh of cruelty came from him, "I won't hurt you, Cyreina... unless you want me to."
The woman exhaled a shuddery breath, "Oh Seth...."
She turned just in time to catch his lips.
Most teens would say, "Oh gross! Adults making out!"
But Biest wasn't exactly a normal teen.
And love fascinated him beyond all reason.
It was one of the rare emotions that could make anyone do anything.
He watched with a scientific mind as his father used one hand to throw his own cloak to the ground.
Ugh...disgusting.
His back was littered with various cuts and old bruises.
They broke the kiss and Seth surprisingly backed away from his wife, like she had become toxic.
This confused Biest but Cyreina seemed to be used to it.
"Oh Seth, she whispered sadly, "poor baby."
He muttered inaudibly as she sat him down on the bed and hugged him, "I'm not a child."
She stroked his hair softly, soothing a hidden kind of pain, "I know darling, I know."
Foul as it was, she traced small kisses down his chest.
"I love you Master."
Seth moaned quietly, "Cyreina...my angel I-."
This ended with a wince like it hurt to even say those words.
Biest smiled and left.
Unfortunatley, he didn't get a chance to see the real side of his parents relationship.
But that would be unveiled in time.
