Avery had looked dead; his skin so much paler than usual, and his lips parted just slightly as he had some heavy breathing. Not only that, but his neck and chest was covered in his own blood... and all that blood just seemed like all Avery had. As if he was bleeding and wouldn't stop until every single bit of blood vanished from his veins. Elena had been worried for a moment since there were two other males that seriously wanted their go with the Defect, but once she realized that Delano hadn't exactly drained him of all life; she laughed.

Calling on a couple of her servants before handing the Defect over to them for them to clean up and heal, she smiled and waited for Delano to raise.

"Oh...well, it's nice to have you back Delano." she smiled almost wickedly as he growled and was licking his lips from the blood that had stained them. Eyes jolting to where the Defect was, wanting more but seeing him slowly vanish with the two other slaves.

"Once again, you have to wait your turn. You can't just jump the last two... don't worry..." she slowly walked over to him, setting her hand on his shoulder, "You'll have the perfect time to drain him of his blood... just calm down for now..."

He brought his hand up instantly and hit her hand away -- which sent her stumbling back some. He then turned around and faded away, leaving an amused, and delighted Elena.

They had the real Delano back, and it was for sure now... that the Defect would die in it's final stages of life; just like the last one.

Avery woke up days, weeks later. The attack after attack causing his body so much pain and chaos that it seemed like he wasn't savable. The slaves that were working on his bathed him regularly and bandaged up any wounds that were left over. He was being taken care up, restored to health so he could deal with the next two members of D.E.A.T.H. Once that was over, he'd be healed up to fifty percent before going to Delano.

Delano would carefully heal him up to hundred percent; make Avery trust him...make Avery see the light, the hope that Delano was giving him.. just like before, right before he would die.

Avery gave a soft cry out when his eyes fluttered open and the usual light silver color looked dark, almost like a cloudy grey. The neck wound was almost done healing and that made him question how long he had been under. It either had to deal with some magical healing, or he'd been in the bed... Unconscious for so long that his wounds had time to heal.

A choked sob was held in his throat as he thought of what happened. Why he had ended up here... the cold touch of leather against his face, and fangs against his neck. His hand jolted up to his neck to cover it as he moaned just lightly. His mind then wandered off as he turned onto his side; it was now thinking about Lanais. About his family, his mother... his sister, Euphoria. Were they being treated badly? DId they miss him? Were they looking for him? Were they even worried? Or were they given some kind of note telling people that I was on some vacation with Euphoria... or was... was the three boys and their father covering up for D.E.A.T.H?

His choked sob came out this time, his hands moving to his lips as a shudder ran through his body. Was he forgotten?

He could only cry secretly to himself for so long. The slaves were once again moving into the room, surprised that he was awake and quickly rushing to his aid, and shooting off questions that made him seem semi-normal... but the questions, and the worry in the others voice only made him wonder. His body was tense when he felt the soft hands of the girl running over his forehead and shoulders; pulling him onto his back once more.

"Are you hungry? Thirsty? Do you need a bath? Anything?" she asked and Avery only nodded his head towards her. His eyes giving off the usual look, as if they weren't focused on her. Looking straight through her... but not seeing her, no... instead he only saw darkness. Something he seemed destined to live in.

"A...bath... would be nice." he spoke lightly to her, and she smiled -- he didn't see this -- and nodded.

"Okay! I'll draw you one and come get you."

He was tense; was this all a joke? Why was he being treated like he would be at home? The girl was acting like Euphoria and the way he was being taken care of... he slowly cringed as he sat up from the bed. Could he really ask for food and water too? Or was this some trick... he'd get the food only to have it thrown in his face and someone yelling about how ridiculous he was to ask for such a thing? Maybe the drink will be hot and someone would toss it onto his body so it could burn red.

His fingers came up to run through his semi-cleaned hair. The pads of his fingers running over his scalp, then gently moving down over his forehead to briefly touch his markings. He sighed furiously as he remembered them... them being the cause of all this.

He had a sour look on his face before the girl would come back and take his hand away from his forehead. "Do you feel alright? Maybe you should eat first?" she suggested, Avery shook his head as his eyes closed and his face softened. "No, I'd like to bathe first... if ... if that's alright."

The girl nodded and slowly helped him from the bed to the bathroom only a small walk down the hall. When she opened the door for him to walk through, he was instantly surprised at the smell of the water. It wasn't just a normal bath... not just regular bath that he took at home... the smell of the room hinted that the bathtub was mixing with something Lavender, and if he could guess correctly some kind of flower.

"Are you sure... that this is my bath?" Avery said timidly as he was walked over to the edge and then being disrobed. The girl giggled gently as she pulled off his shirt, and nodded.

"Of course this is... I was told by the mistress to make sure you are better before you go back to your... lifestyle." she had said this almost sadly, "and also," she continued, "one of the requirements is for you to have a bath such as this."

He only nodded in disbelief as he was now completely naked and being carefully placed in the bath. Once he was settled, also now realizing it had to be a rather large tub since he couldn't feel the wall opposite his legs, the girl scurried away to bring back three different bottles and a scrub. "I'll keep them in order for you..." she spoke. "The first one on the left is shampoo, the one next to it is conditioner... then there is body wash and a scrub."

He brought his fingers to where they were, brushing the pads of his fingers over them before reaching the scrub. "Thank you." was all he could say before she stood up and spoke again.

"No problem. I'll be back in about... Forty minutes or so? Is that good enough?"

Avery nodded and then looked away as he dipped his arm back into the water and let it resurface to catch some of the petals. He brought it to his nose as he heard the door close behind him, smelling the hint of roses. He dropped it back into the water and closed his eyes to take in the scent.

He was done cleaning himself rather quickly. He wanted to make sure he had time to sit in the water and soak up the rather luxurious feel of it. When he was done cleaning himself, he ventured deeper into the tub, finding a somewhat warmer area to sit in. Pushing any stray strands away from his face, he kept his eyes closed and leaned his head back against the tub; sighing heavily.

It wasn't until he felt movement in the water that he would jolt up and pull his body as close as he could to his body. His eyes snapped open as if he'd be able to see for this one time only. He didn't relax at all, nor did he have the time to relax when he felt the water continuously moving and another body soon pressed against his pulled up legs. His arms were tightly holding them to his chest as the man leaned against them, the drenched, willowy texture of his clothing making Avery calm just a bit.

Avery's breathing hitched when the other spoke, "You're awake." came the dark, and familiar voice. Avery tried to make himself smaller against the tub, a small whimper escaping him. How was it that Delano could get so close to him without him passing out now? He so wished that he could start convulsing at this moment and pass out before the other could do anything to him.

"Avery...-"

Avery didn't hear the rest of the other sentence, taking note of the tone of the others voice. So different from when they had first met. So different from the caring warmth that usually consumed Delano's voice. He hadn't realized that Delano had his hand on his cheek, and when he came back from his own world, he flinched harshly and closed his eyes as the other spoke again.

"I'm not going to hurt you." it sounded faked. "I wanted to say sorry, I really am. I didn't know...that I was so weak." hollow.

Delano slowly pushed Avery's head back, Avery's eyes still closed tightly; his body twitching to be released.

"I'm so sorry...I never meant to hurt you... do you understand this?"

Avery then felt wet lips hit his own wet lips, a loud protest heard but the other crushing his body against him and crushing his lips against him. All he could think was stop as the other spoke his apologies to him. Kissed him, and once again, would violate him. But this time, against Avery's will.

Avery could never forget... he couldn't look over the fact that Delano... was so easily swayed. Was so easily turned into a murderous vampire with his blood. For all he knew, Delano could be saying sorry so Avery would give himself up willingly. Avery sobbed at the bloody taste, and the harsh movements of the kiss; only able to think of one thing.

He wouldn't give himself up so willingly, he would even think of it... at least... he wouldn't anymore.

REVIEW PLEASE.
