Chapter 6

Friend's and dream's

He woke up to the unusual sound of birds chirping outside the high window above his dresser, it was unusual as not many birds were found around demon territory; probably because they were frightened of such creatures. Their eyes were intimidating, wide and black . Being a demon was hard at first for Blaine as he didn't quite understand what happened to him when he became angry, his parents had explained it the best they could; Cooper explained it better. Speaking of his brother, he hadn't seen him in over a year; their parents didn't respect his lifestyle the idea of settling down with a human and discarding the opportunity to be a lord was confusing to them. Blaine loved him none the less. Blaine had dreamed of growing old with someone yes but it wasn't possible, demons stopped ageing at the age of thirty, which would mean he would stop ageing in almost five years. Slaves can grow old but some demons liked to mate with them to stop their ageing so that them as lovers can be together for eternity. Cooper had not mentioned ever mating with Carly but Blaine had a hunch. The mating process was much more complex than sex, it was more than that, it included blood mixing and poison from a demons canines; Blaine had never really been told about it, he figured he would find out one day, Ash would see to it. Thinking of Ash brought Blaine to the realization that she would be back from the slave house by now, he shot up from his position in his bed. Flipping the covers off his body, jumping out the bed and running down the hall to his rooms and up the stairs, he was met with Ash standing at the hatch with a tray of food in her hand.

"Wow! Sir what's wrong?"

"Tell me."

"Hm, not even a hello?"

"Hello, now tell me." Ash motioned for him to go back down the stairs to his room, once back in the room Ash instructed Blaine to get back in bed. He sat in bed with his tray of a full breakfast staring at him, god he wanted to eat right now but he had to have details. Now.

"I have took food up for Sir Nick and Jeff, the chefs quality full breakfasts of course. Eat yours, come on." Ash winked and started to rise.

"Nope, not so fast. Sit." She sighed and sat down in the chair from the other day when she had sat with him during breakfast. She watched as Blaine dug in to his bacon and eggs, he did enjoy the full breakfasts but they were only for around the time when either he had guests or was in a bad mood. The breakfast consisted of bacon, eggs (fried and scrambled), three link sausages, a grilled tomato, two fried pancakes, a potato scone and hash browns; it was a traditional English breakfast, they got some of the ingredients shipped over from Britain. Blaine always enjoyed it either way. Blaine spoke with a mouth full of egg and bacon.

"Details. Details. I want details Compton."

"Nope, i'm not telling you anything Blainer's. The one thing i will tell you..." Ash giggled when seeing Blaine's eyes were wide with excitement.

"Go on." Ash hesitated, trying to find the right words.

"There was one file that i was shown, it stood out completely."

"Really?"

"Yes, it matched mostly everything you were looking for.", Blaine looked to his breakfast and smiled, he was really excited to hear about this boy. Was he really as good as Ash was letting on?

"Tell me about him."

"Okay but only a little, i want you to be surprised on the day you see him, if he is to your tastes. Only a few things, i don't want you to know too much about him okay?"

"Yes!"

"Fine. I will tell you one of his features, when he arrived at the slave house, where he came from and 1 other thing. Okay the vampire at the desk, i'm guessing one of the bosses, said his eyes shocked her the most. His eyes were apparently a mix of blue, green and gray. It sounds lovely to me and i'm guessing by the way your nearly drooling it sounds good to you too. He arrived at the slave house only two days ago and he came from Lima, Ohio. The one other thing exact to your requests is that he is a virgin. That's it, that's all i'm telling you."

"Holy shit, even though that's only a little bit of what you know, he sounds like the slave for me." Ash scolded him for his cursing.

"Lets just hope, when you see him he is the one. Oh also lets hope you are the one to purchase him. One more thing, she said she switched his trainers..."

"What?! That's forbidden if i recall what we learned many years ago."

"Yes but she said she had too. Something about him looking too vulnerable to be with this certain trainer."

"Oh, well then. She saved him in a way, didn't she?"

"I guess so, anyway eat your breakfast!"

"Yes madam." Ash laughed rising from her position in the chair and heading out the door, she had to go and wake up some servants for cleaning duties. Blaine remained in his room, eating his food like it was his last meal, he wasn't hungry for blood right now, that could wait for a day or two. The few details he had learned about this boy were making him happy, he sounded amazing, pure and vulnerable; it made Blaine's stomach swirl with delight. Hopefully if he did end up purchasing this boy, his parents would approve; hopefully he wouldn't act up around his parents. That would be the worst experience of his life. His parents would demand for him to be punished harshly, he would try and protect his boy from any of these situations. Blaine shook his head, he hadn't even met the boy and he was already calling him his boy; the boy had seemed to seep his way into Blaine's bloodstream and he hadn't met him, he couldn't get the boy out of his mind. He was falling deep into the abyss of craziness now. He groaned and decided he should probably get dressed and go and greet his friends again. Pulling on a similar outfit from yesterday, brushing his teeth and straightening his shirt collar, he headed upstairs again, in a slower manner than before. He shut the hatch and padded his way through to the outside lounge next to the swimming pool, Jeff was seated in Nicks lap, they were nuzzling each other softly. Blaine smirked.

"Get a room." Nick raised his head from Jeff's neck and smirked.

"We already did."

"Nick, i don't want the dirty details."

"You sure?" The two men chuckled at each other, Blaine sat across from the two and smiled as Jeff continued to nuzzle and nip Nicks neck; this didn't stop Nick from talking however.

"So my dear friend, slave talk. Now. I want details" Jeff raised his head quickly, an exciting gleam in his eyes. "BLAINE! are you getting one? Are you? Are you?" Blaine laughed loudly, then Nick joined in whereas Jeff was confused as to why the two were laughing at him.

"Yes, Jeff i am."

"Finally!", Nick brought his hand up and cupped his slaves chin, bringing his face to face his own. "May i ask why your so excited?" Jeff hesitated. "Well..-" He mumbled the rest of the sentence, so low that not even a demon could hear. The two demons spoke in unison. "What?"

"Well, we could be friends. I'm kind of lonely." Blaine raised his eyebrows at Nick. "Well i told you so Nick, i knew it." Nick smiled, his friend had been right. Jeff had been lonely and he had never asked him before. "Oh hunny, i'm sorry, i should have been more sympathetic with your needs." Jeff smiled and nuzzled into his masters neck yet again.

"Its okay, better pick a good one Blaine."

"Actually i should probably tell you the small pieces of information i got from Ash earlier on." Blaine began explaining ever little detail he had learned from Ash, the other demon and his slave listened carefully, growing more excited as Blaine did. Jeff had a wild smile by the end of Blaine's conversation. Nick was smiling in awe, Blaine was happy about this and that made him happy to know that this slave could bring out the real Blaine once and for all.

"Well Blaine, he sounds magnificent. I hope its him we meet at the gathering."

"Hopefully it is Master because i like the sound of him just as much as Blaine." The three buckled into laughter, chatting away for a few hours about other things, it was good to catch up with his friends. Blaine didn't really have enough time to have 'fun' any more, it was all work and no play unfortunately but for now he would make the most of it. He was glad his friends were here and that everyone was happy.

Day number two of slave training had been unpleasant. He had woken up earlier than when he was supposed to be woken by Maria, it wasn't as if he could talk to Rosie. She had been sleeping. He sat and took gentle sips of his first water bottle until Maria came. By then he was bursting for the need to empty his bladder, he had went to the shabby bathrooms and released, it had felt good but then the training began. He only had today and tomorrow before he got his male trainer and boy was he unhappy about having to experience that. He had been trained all morning about the aspect of crawling, cleaning and how to carry trays the right way. His break had been short and Rosie had only came in half way through so he didn't have much time with her. When he resumed training with Maria after that, it had been pretty much the same before the break. He couldn't quite handle how to walk in a straight line with a book on his head, he may have a good posture but damn balancing a book on your head was hard. Maria was a pusher, she would push and push until you got it right and make you repeat it and repeat it, he was exhausted by his second break.

"Rosie i cant do this any more. My back and legs are killing me, not to mention i think my head is going to explode."

"I know what you mean, its hard enough for me to stay on this pricks good side, never mind doing cleaning shit."

"I am getting so pissed off with this shit and its only the second day. I have one more day and then i get the male trainer and i'm pretty sure i'm going to kill someone around then."

"Just don't get yourself into bother, you don't want to be punished, i saw a slave coming out of that place; he couldn't walk. He was dragged across the dirt path in pain." Rosie shivered at the memory, she remember the red soaring scars on the boys arms and the blood seeping through his pants. They must hit pretty hard for it to bleed, she never saw him again though; not even in the courtyard. "You know, he isn't even here. He hasn't been in the courtyard since yesterday, i seen him before but after that never."

"You don't think he is dead do you?" Kurt had a worried expression, Rosie shook her head vastly and frowned. "No, that couldn't kill him. Maybe he has just chosen to stay in his room, we have that choice you know."

"Yeah i suppose, speaking of rooms. Do you have anyone in the opposite side of yours?"

"Yeah but she doesn't even talk much, what about you?"

"I don't know, I've never checked before. Should i?"

"Yes! You could have anyone beside you."

"Wait what if its that boy from yesterday, the one that screamed at us."

"Don't worry, its not. I saw him enter a few rooms down, its not him. Just check tonight when we go back after dinner."

"Okay.. wha-" Kurt jumped at his name being shouted by Maria from the entrance to the courtyard, he kissed Rosie's cheek and ran to Maria, she pulled him along for the last hours of his training. He was right about the training being exhausting, he had mastered the walking straight concept but the book on his head still puzzled him, Maria had gone on about if he had a male trainer he would be punished for failing at mastering it so many times. The cleaning was easy and he was praised for his cleaning skills, he had to clean up for his dad after all. He wondered who really did stay in the cell beside his own, he hoped it was someone who he could relate with. Someone like him.

Sitting down to dinner, the boys kept chatting away as their meals were served by the servants. The dinner planned for tonight was roast beef cutlet with roasted vegetables, the meat lined with blood of the demons choice. Jeff had opted for a slice of roast chicken with green beans and buttered noodles. He didn't like heavy meals, they always upset his stomach. The demons tucked into their meals whereas Jeff nibbled his slowly, he wasn't as ferocious as a demon. The two demons talked away over politics and parent dilemmas. Ash was standing by Jeff, she smiled slowly when he turned and looked at her. He always did like her, she understood how lonely felt. It wasn't that he was fed up of being around Nick, its just he was fed up of only being around his master, he couldn't wait till Blaine got his slave; he would have fun chatting with him, it would give him a reason to come over more. He was brought out of his thoughts by Nick placing a hand on his knee. Nick leaned down and whispered in his ear. "What's wrong hunny?" Jeff nibbled his lip and shook his head. "Nothing, i'm fine." Nick seemed to accept the reply and continued with his meal. Ash frowned from behind Jeff, something was wrong with him. When she saw that Jeff had finished his meal, she whispered in his ear if he would like anything else, once he shook his head she frowned some more. She made a quick decision to get him out of there before he did something stupid, like make a sarcastic comment to Nick if he asked another question.

"Sir, if i may make a suggestion."

"Yes Ash what is it?",Jeff had looked up into Ash's eyes, she was staring into Blaine's.

"If it is al-right with you sir nick, if i could take Jeff a walk?"

"Yes that would be fine, if he wants to that is. Do you?" Jeff nodded his head abruptly. "Yes!" He jumped up from his seat but was pulled to Nicks side by Nicks hand on his wrist. "Don't run away from Ash, stay by her side please.", He sighed in annoyance which made Nick glare into his eyes. "Yes master." Nick ruffled his hair and smiled. "Good boy."

Jeff followed Ash outside into the night, she wouldn't take him far, just enough distance to talk. Once they were at least a few minutes away she began asking questions. "What's going on Jeff?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play coy with me, i know something is bothering you, i have knew you long enough now to see your annoyed."

"Fine you caught me. I'm lonely and Nick doesn't see it. I'm sick of following him around non stop, i love him.. i love him loads but i want a friend for my own needs. He has Blaine and they talk about stuff i don't get while i tag along. Not to mention that Nick has been super busy lately. We haven't had sex in a long while now." Ash coughed loudly, while Jeff blushed.

"I though that just this morning Nick had made a joke about you two having sex in your room."

"We didn't, he was just joking around with Blaine. Usually we have sex every week but we haven't done anything in two weeks."

"You said he was busy. Why don't you talk to him about it when he's not?"

"I'm scared." Ash frowned, why would Jeff be scared of asking his master a question that wasn't bad in anyway. "Why?"

"That he doesn't love me any more, that he's going to drain me and leave me."

Ash had a tear running down her cheek, Jeff wasn't usually this down, he was a happy, content slave. She wrapped her arms around him and held him close, sometimes a hug made everything better. He latched on to her and staying in the position for a long time. He had a couple of tears running down his own cheeks. They both jumped at the sound of Nicks voice from the house. "JEFF! ASH! Come back now, its late." They pulled out of the hug and headed back to the house. Jeff still had tears streaming down his cheeks, he didn't want Nick to know he had been crying but the tears wouldn't cease. When they got to the house, Ash frowned when she saw that Jeff was still crying, how was he going to explain himself this time?

"Jeff, hunny come here." Jeff left Ash's side and walked to Nick who was kneeling in front of him now. His master took his hands and squeezed them. "No lies this time, what;s wrong? Your scaring me." Ash walked to his side and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm going inside, tell him what's wrong. Tell him what you told me. If you don't tell him then you know that he will get it out of me." Jeff half smiled as she walking into the house. He looked down to his hands in Nicks and fell to the ground, wrapping his arms around his masters neck. Nick gasped but held him close, pulling him up so his legs were wrapped around his waist. He took him upstairs and into their bedroom. He sat him down on the bed and motioned for him to spill everything.

"I just feel lonely just now."

"Oh h-"

"No let me finish. I feel lonely, your never around any more, it feels like you don't love me any more. You have your friends and i don't have anyone. I feel like your slipping away from me nowadays, i miss you. I'm sick of tagging along, you have Blaine whereas i need to talk to Ash to feel better. It feels like you've been ignoring me for the past two weeks." Nick had tears streaming down his face now, he hadn't realised he had been neglecting his slave, he had been really busy lately but it was no excuse to ignore Jeff. He pulled Jeff into a bone crushing hug.

"Hunny, never sat that. I will always love you, your more than my slave. Your the love of my life. I am so sorry for neglecting you, i didn't realise how you felt. Hey when Blaine gets his slave on Friday night we will see him on the Sunday at the gathering, you can go off into an empty room and chat with him. I don't want you to feel like you don't have anyone but me. I love you okay?"

"I love you too master."

"So what do you say to a little time to ourselves?"

"What?"

"Come suck your masters cock." Jeff's eyes widened and his cheeks blushed scarlett. He Slowly got onto his knees and unzipped Nicks pants, pulling them down with his boxers. He grasped his masters dick and pumped slowly, Nick growled, his eyes turning black and his canines extending. The first touch of sexual contact can bring any demon out. Jeff tugged a few times, giving kitten licks to the head of Nicks member tasting his pre-come. He gasped when Nick grabbed his head and thrust into his mouth. He giggled, muffled from having Nicks considerable length in his mouth. Jeff hollowed his cheeks and sucked hard, bringing Nick to his orgasm. Nick roared as he came into Jeff's mouth, he moaned in delight. He smiled as he massaged Jeff's scalp, his slave pulling off with a pop.

"Mm. Your amazing hunny. You get some sleep, i'm going to send Ash up with a drink for you, milk?"

"Warm, please."

"Good boy. Night sweetheart." Nick kissed his forehead and headed back downstairs to meet Blaine. He would always love Jeff, he had to make a note to remind his slave of this regularly.

After countless hours of training, Kurt was happy to be sat on his cells bed listening to music. He had plenty of battery left to last him. Rosie had went to use the toilet, the watchers had been annoyed that she had asked but she said she couldn't wait any longer. Kurt pulled out his earphones and looked to the cell opposite him, it was now or never. He hesitantly lifted his hand to the opposite shutter, he had to do it; he was too curious to not do it. Chapping the shutter he waited a few minutes incase no one was in there. When he knocked again, a soft 'what' could be heard behind the shutter, even though it wasn't too loud it still startled Kurt.

"Uh, hi." No more sounds came from behind the shutter, so he figured the person didn't want to talk. He sighed and shut his own shutter and sat back in his bed, damn he sure did hate these scratchy sheets. The fabric felt rough in your hands, with holes and rips everywhere; it was almost sickly. While grimacing at the look and feel of the sheets he didn't realise that a knock had came from the shutter again. When it was sounded again he jumped and pulled open his own shutter to reveal a boy who looked strangely similar to Sam Evans watching him. He blinked a few times before trying to form some words but none came out. The boy stared at him for a few minutes before talking, his voice was similar to Pucks but lighter.

"Did you want something?", the boy continued to stare into Kurt glasz coloured eyes from his own opal green ones. Kurt excused his throat and opened his mouth. "I just wanted to see if someone really did stay beside me, on this side anyway." Kurt suddenly realised something, this was the boy from his first day at the slave house. The one who had mouthed for him to run, the one who was being punished.

"Well here i am."

"I remember you." The boy gave off a puzzled look and stared in confusion. "What?"

"I remember you, from my first day. You were being...punished. You mouthed at me to run." The boys eyes widened in realization. "Oh, i remember. I guess you didn't run huh?"

"No i guess i didn't. Uh..d..do you mind me asking, did you really bite the guy?"Kurt watched as the boy sniggered. "Yeah. He tried to grab my hair so a bit him. Wait how did you know that?"

"He told the guy that was with me. Are you okay now?", his eyes dropping to the cut visible on the boys chest, where his tank top had slipped.

"Well i was punished again after that day, yesterday to be exact. I was narky with him."

"Oh, did he just... you know..lash you again?", when the boy nodded, Kurt winced. "Are you better now? Or?"

"Yeah i'm better, don't worry. What's your name?"

"Kurt. Hummel."

"Nice to meet you, i'm Xavier. Swan."

"Wow, unique name."

"Thanks, i guess. Where'd you come from?"

"Lima, Ohio."

"Wow, same." The two boys chatted for a good hour before bidding their goodbyes, Xavier had promised to meet Kurt and Rosie in the courtyard the next day. Kurt felt more happy, to know that he had more friends than Rosie around here; even if it was for only four more days. Xavier seemed mellow and care free, he had said that no matter how many trainers hurt him he couldn't let them control him. It reminded Kurt of himself, stubborn and strong willed. He couldn't wait to tell Rosie about the boy. Even though he didn't know them personally, he felt that he could connect with them both, having friends in this place was all you needed to get you by the days. He hoped.

Blaine watched as Nick tip-toed down the stairs, he watched as he murmured something in Ash's ear and he watched as she left. He smirked and winked at Nick, he had heard everything.

"Get some Nick?"

"Oh shut up Anderson." Ash had told him what had happened with Jeff, he felt sympathetic for Jeff, he was usually so well put together. He sniffed when Nick sat down beside him. "He okay?" Nick nodded and smiled at his friend. Their topic of conversation soon turned to the demon ball on Sunday.

"So are you going to Westerville earlier, to see the parents. Your slave too?"

"Yes, i'm going to go on the Saturday."

"Its not much time is it? I mean you get him on the Friday and the next day your taking him to the ball. If you ask me your parents set you up."

"Yes i agree. Its a tight squeeze to get him prepared but i have Ash, she will be accompanying me. She will be on hand if i need her to take him for a while."

"That's probably for the best. I was just saying to Jeff that the two of them could go into another room and get to know each other. It will keep them both out of trouble."

"Yes that does sound better than keeping them by our sides all night but what if we run into someone important, like a lord. I cant humiliate myself any more.", Nick rolled his eyes and glared at Blaine. "Just meet with the important ones before hand. Then we can mingle without the slaves. One thing though Blaine. Keep your slave away from Sebastian, don't want any fights during the night or your parents will have your head."

"I will try." Blaine gritted his teeth slowly making Nick shiver.

"I will be arriving at your parents on Sunday morning, we will meet you. I am sure that Jeff will be high as a kite to see your slave. I am assuming you will be feeding from your slave before the party, you will need to mark him Blaine. Going into a room full of demons without a mark is not wise." Nick was referring to the situations that could happen with an unmarked slave, an unmarked slave could be easily picked up by another demon, raped and drained in seconds. That was why Blaine felt the need to keep his slave by his side, considering who he was. Not that anyone would dare to touch a lords slave but it has been known to happen in crowded areas. Some demons were a lot more rebellious than others in that way.

"Of course i will mark him Nick. Lets hope he doesn't fuck around with that."

"I hope he doesn't or you will flip your lid." Blaine glared into Nicks eyes and through to his core. Blaine knew he lost his temper easily he didn't need to be told that he does. "Shut it Nick.", he smiled when his friend quickly shushed himself; not wanting to fight with his best friend. They discussed the party for a few more hours before bidding their good nights and good byes as he would not see Nick when they leave, as they were leaving around four in the morning to avoid traffic in the states. Blaine returned to his bedroom, laying down in his bed, still in his clothes. He stretched his arms above his head and sighed. This week would be long indeed.

Kurt had told Rosie about Xavier and she had been intrigued to meet him. In the morning, Kurt realised it was his last day with Maria. He was dreading his male trainer, he didn't want to step out of line with him at all. The last day with Maria had gone surprisingly well, no problems what so ever. She had explained that his male trainer would be doing more physical tests that memory learning, which could be often a challenge for slaves but he wasn't hazed by the concept, he just wanted to get it over with but at the same time he didn't because then it would be time to say good bye to Rosie and Xavier and that would be tough. He met with Rosie in the courtyard, when Xavier had came along, Rosie had gasped and explained that he was the boy she seen being dragged across the dirt after a punishment. Rosie and Xavier clicked. The three of them promised to be there for each other no matter the circumstance, until the day they left. By the time Kurt had gotten back to his cell bedroom after dinner he was overwhelmed with happiness, in fact he had almost forgotten about what the next day would bring. All night he had talked with Xavier and Rosie, they had decided to keep all their shutters open to talk back and forth, in hushed whispers but loud enough to hear. When Kurt fell asleep, his mind had been racing around all the possibilities of tomorrows challenges. He didn't want to punished that was for sure but he wasnt sure if his bitch would stay hidden or pop out and get him in to trouble. The idea of having his ass beat to a pulp was not something he wanted to experience but if he did have to he would just have to take it. Xavier had told him to tune out if he ever was punished, to think of things that make him happy such as his family and friends back in Lima or what he wanted to happen in the future, apparently that had helped Xavier a little even though his ass hurt for a few or more hours. Kurt was scared of this world, the world he lived in. Sometimes he wished it would all vanish, that it would go away and everyone was free to love who they wanted but the truth was he hoped that his master would be the one. Possibly maybe he could be but time would tell.
