I've Been Bad

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-It had been three days since Eli had confronted Sebastien. Since he'd made a terrible mistake and now he'd pay the ultimate price. No blood. Not for two weeks and he knew that Flint wouldn't go against Petre's word and sneak any to him. Flint had spent most of that night with Petre, he'd come back smelling of him and sex, and Eli hated the old vampire more and more for denying him blood and for touching his master, his Flint, the vampire belonged to HIM. He kept his mouth shut though. He knew he was on probation so he behaved ... -

-The following day Flint had gone in search of a new cabin for them. It become clear they needed a place for their own. Thankfully there were plenty of empty houses and Flint had decided upon one and now they had their own place. Eli paced his room quietly. Flint was with Remy helping the boy gain control. He ran his nails down his arm sighing as he dropped on the edge of the bed taking out the switch blade dragging the sharp edge across his arm focusing on the way the flesh parted and red bubbled to the surface, for a moment anyway, before the wound sealed itself up. He sighed opened it up again and again. He needed to just focus on the pain or he'd lose his mind. God he'd never make it two weeks without blood and Flint wasn't even paying any attention to him. He frowned missing the older vampire as he waited quietly for him to return home ... -

~There was a knock at the door and when the wolf finally answered, he'd see Salem leaning against the door frame. He cocked his head.~

Where's that old fuck, Petre? Hmmm?

~He looked the wolf over and then leaned in, his eyes narrowing as he inhaled.~

You smell like blood little wolfy... whatcha been up too?

~He purred as he leaned in closer.~

you're a strange wolf, ya know that? I should be pretty pissed at ya for what happened with Sebastien... but guess it worked it's self out...

~He shrugged and made his way inside, dropping down the back pack he had. He turned slowly to look at the wolf as he dropped onto the sofa.~

You waiting for Flint to come home to you?

~Those blue eyes flashed up as he stared at the wolf. There was something a bit dark about Salem, something that no doubt had to tempt Eli.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Eli's head snapped when there was a knock at the door. He inhaled the scent before arching a brow as he wiped the blade against his dark pants snapping it closed as he got up from the couch and moved in slowly towards the door opening it. He arched a brow as he gazed at the older wolf shrugging ... -

I don't know ... maybe a museum visiting relatives?

-He smirked darkly as he let him in turning around and walking back towards the couch. He glanced back as Salem spoke ... -

Nothing that's any of your fucking business ...

-He dropped down, despite the hostile words, his voice was calm and relaxed as if he had offered Salem something to drink. He shrugged at the Sebastien part, his eyes darkened though visibly ... -

Why you put up with him anyway ... he can't be that good of a lay and you're not even getting his blood in the bargain ... seems like you being jipped in the deal ...

-He almost nodded at the last part before he crawled in a bit closer ... -

... maybe I was waiting for you ...

-He half smirked almost teasing at the caustic little words ... -

You remind me of my alpha ...

-He reached out dusting his hand down Salem's chest ... -

I really hated that asshole ... but I was his favorite .. his pet ... the best nights were when I got to share his bed and I got away from the stench of the hole ...

[Synistergrrl]

~Salem's head cocked when Eli crawled in closer to him. His brow arched as the wolf touched him, but he didn't seem to be shocked by it. Shrugging, Salem leaned back a bit, letting the pretty crazed wolf tease over his body.~

I don't want his blood, Eli. It makes us bond to them. Makes us slaves... I'm no one's slave. Sebastien is... difficult, but he and I understand one another.

~He lifted his hand, cupping Elias' chin and looking into those insane dark eyes. He dusted his thumb over his cheek.~

Why do you WANT to be anyone's pet, Eli? I can't even imagine that. And the wolf that did this to you.... he should be strung up and skinned.

~Salem was a twisted soul, but he knew this before him was wrong. He leaned in closer, inches from the wolf.~

Tell me somethin, Eli. When the Volturi come and shit goes down, you gonna let them drag you back? You know that's what they'll want? Use you as an example of what the others shouldn't do. They'll want to remind the others what they'll get for disobeying their masters.

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Eli smiled when Salem didn't push him away. He kneeled on the couch letting his hand slide up and down his chest teasing slowly. The older wolf smelled good, he was the maker he'd have wanted, rough and dark, but not insane. His maker had been driven insane by blood and by torment and then he had taken that torment out on the wolves he captured and made. He slipped in a bit closer moving as he straddled the wolf beneath him letting him cup his cheek ... -

I find security in servitude .... I don't like to think too much .. it's easier for me to chose one master and follow ... you could have had me but Flint got to me first ... snooze you lose I guess ...

-He smirked at that ... -

... besides the blood makes me stronger ... you could have Petre's blood ... you should have it if you want to really fight those old Volturi ... they feed their blood to my alpha ... he is monstrous with it ... and if he comes ... you'll get a chance to string him up and skin him ... but I doubt any of us will have that chance ...

-He stared down into Salem's dark eyes before he leaned in nuzzling against his neck as he kissed slowly up ... -

Let them? No ... will they still be able to ... maybe ... I'll bite my tongue out and try and bleed myself out before I get back to Volture ... I know what waits for me home ...

-He pulled back slowly but his lips were inches from Salem's ... -

... why didn't you put a claim on me ... am I really that damaged to be of any use to you?

[Synistergrrl]

~Salem stared up at the pretty dark haired wolf. He was smaller then Salem but the wolf was no fool. He knew that Eli was very strong. He shrugged.~

I wasn't given the choice. You were already Flint's long before I was given the chance to put any claim on you. I wasn't there when they found you. Had I been, I might have. It's not that you aren't of any use, Eli. It's that you're fucking insane. I know what insanity looks like, especially your kind of crazy. I've seen it enough in my line of work. There's a point where the slave snaps. They do anything, whatever is necessary to please their master. Even when they know that there's no hope. I see that same thing in you.

~He reached up and brushed back some of Eli's dark hair. Salem's blue eyes danced over Eli and for a moment he seemed compliant, willing to let Eli have control. But then suddenly Eli was flipped onto his back and Salem was on top, pinning the wolf to the floor. He growled and for a moment it was wolfish.~

You're more then this, you do know that, Elias? You're more then a pet...

~He leaned in, snapping his jaws at the wolf, telling the wilder creature to bare his throat, or atleast it seemed that way. Salem had Eli pinned and then he leaned in and nipped at his throat.~

Don't sell yourself so short. You could reach beyond this if you wanted....

~He pushed up as he said that. He was standing and then the door opened. Flint walked in with Remy and stopped short seeing Eli on the floor and Salem standing over him.~

What the fuck is going on here?

~Salem shrugged.~

Nothing... Petre's not here?

~Flint looked at Eli and when the wolf didn't say anything, Flint frowned and looked to Salem shaking his head.~

No... I think he's with Sylla....

~Salem shrugged and then reached down and pulled Eli up. He walked by though, growling softly at Eli before he passed Flint and Remy.~

Tell him I wanna talk to him...

~Flint watched the wolf leave and then moved to Elias. He let Remy leave as he moved into Eli.~

What was that all about?

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Elias stared down enjoying the feel of the wolf beneath him ... -
What you call too much I call just enough ... you seem upset I'm already housebroken ... Flint sees use in me and he doesn't think

I'm THAT insane ... or maybe he does ... who knows anymore ...

-Eli frowned. He wasn't sure how insane he truly was, the spark was there in his eyes, but of course when you lived in wonderland you weren't aware it was a wonderland. To him, he was normal, maybe a bit impulsive, but normal, not crazy, not insane, not always teetering on that balance between being good going on a killing spree. When he was suddenly on the floor he growled but half arched a bit into Salem. He smiled up at the wolf but met his eyes ... -

You want me to bare me throat ... make me ...

-He growled right back snapping his jaw up at the wolf. He knew Salem could but he wasn't going to be compliant, to bare his throat for any alpha, he wanted that alpha to prove himself strong enough to own him. He frowned softly at the next words, he didn't say anything but he stared up at Salem a bit confused, it'd been a long time, maybe ever, since someone had believed in him, believed he could be something more than he was. He wasn't sure he'd ever had that ... he didn't know what to do with it now that it was offered ... -

-When Flint came in Eli remained on the ground watching Salem a moment before he was pulled up. He smiled across at the wolf almost affectionately watching him go. Remy arched a brow at the whole situation but shook his head and went up stairs to think quietly. He shrugged slowly at Flint ... -

Nothing ... we were just talking ...

-He brushed passed Flint as he moved into the kitchen to get himself something to eat. So close Flint could smell Salem's scent all over the boy but he could also smell something else, blood, Eli's blood, on him, dried and old. Eli flipped out the switchblade as he stared into the fridge flicking it open and closed absently. He reached out grabbing some food as he sat at the counter ... -

How did it go with Remy?

-He asked absently because it was a safe topic. He wanted to scream at Flint, to ask him why he was being ignored, what could he do to win back his master's affection, to get back his blood, but he knew that'd just upset Flint and push they relationship to a limit. He had to be good so he shut down a little bit. There were too many emotions inside of him ... -

[Synistergrrl]

~Flint watched the wolf move into the kitchen. He wasn't sure he liked what was going on. He could smell Eli's blood and that made him even more annoyed. Flint's eyes flickered over the wolf as he flipped that blade open and closed. Finally Flint moved in closer. He slipped in between the wolf's open legs.~

It was fine.... Are you alright?

~He frowned, those reddish orbs lifting to rest on the wolf before him. He took the food and set it on the counter before he wrapped one arm around the wolf's neck and pulled him closer.~

You'd tell me if he threatened you or hurt you, right?

~There was concern in Flint's voice. He honestly had no idea that Eli was suffering. Well, not for his affection anyway. Flint was a very busy vampire at the moment, with training Remy, training himself for the Volturi and making sure everything else runs smoothly. His other hand was lifting up and brushing through Eli's hair. He sighed softly.~

I'm sorry Eli... I know you are hurting for the blood. But I've no choice... and you know it. If I go against Petre's orders then it'll be worse for you. I don't want you punished any further then you already are.

~Eli was right, unlike the others, Flint did see something in Eli. He saw that the wolf was smart, sharp, dangerous yes, but they all were. Flint was sure that the wolf could rise above all this none sense. He had no idea that Salem saw the same thing. It might shock him to know that. Flint was finding that he liked living here. He could do without Salem and Sebastien, but having Eli close, Petre as a mentor and him mentoring Remy. It felt like home, the way things should be.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-He shrugged but nodded unsure how to answer the first question. Are you alright? It was vague. What was he even supposed to say to that so he just nodded. He shivered when Flint was close to him and his food was taken but it didn't honestly matter. What did matter was having the vampire close and paying him attention. He wrapped his arms around his waist slowly as he leaned in nuzzling into him content ... -

You don't think I could handle it on my own?

-He purred in his ear before shaking his head ... -

You're not supposed to be concerned over that ... I am your protector ... not the other way around .. if I couldn't even handle my business what good would I be to you?

-He arched a brow before smiling faintly ... -

... but no ... he didn't hurt me ... and no ... I wouldn't tell you unless I really felt you needed to know ...

-He sighed when there was mention of blood. He buried a bit deeper into Flint ... -

You could alleviate that suffering if you wanted too ... you're so busy with all the other shit ... why can't it just be me and you ... in some dark little bedroom .. never leaving ... I could keep you happy for hours ...

-He pouted a bit enjoying the attention and affection ... he'd so little of Flint in the past week ... the same way Flint had seen very little of Petre ... -
