Chapter Nineteen


They were surrounded and Saria cannot believed how calm Jarrett was. A smiled came on his lips. Saria cannot believed this, how can this man smile at a time like this. He crossed his arms against his chest. "Let me make one things clear Jarrett, if you die I will not morn you.”

“I have no doubt in my mind that you will morn me boy.” Jarrett whispered beside the boy ears with a smirked. Then he draw out his sword. “Hold on tight if you don't want to die boy.” Jarrett waited for the boy to wrapped his arms around his waist and hang on tight to him before he charged at their attacker. He slashed and killed as many as he can while Alec try to avoid getting himself killed by dodging every sharp things that came at him. Jarrett shouted out to Alec to used his power and finished them in one blow.

Alec looked up and shook his head, "I can't kill, I'm a doctor and I had taken an oath to protect life to take a life would damn me to burn in the pit of fire." He shouted. He then dodged a sword coming right at him. he knocked the man to his feet and land a hard kicked on his attacker chest. Jarrett put Saria down and order him to stay put. Saria hid behind a tree and watched as Jarrett slashed his way through to Alec. He heard Jarrett mumble a complain about Alec being too daft to realize that he would be killed if he doesn't kill as he slashed his way toward Alec.

Saria spotted an attacker that appeared out of nowhere and started making his way toward Jarrett from the left. There was a crazy looked in the man eyes that make Saria fear for Jarrett life. With out thinking Saria rushed out of his hiding spot, he picked up a sword lying on the ground he held it with both hands, he half dragged and half carry the heavy weapon as he hurried to protect Jarrett.

In his hurried to get to Jarrett he didn't noticed the sharp blade of a sword coming right at him it found it target slashing a deep path down the right length of his thigh he screamed out in agony and fell to the hard ground. He picked himself back up and ignore the exclusive pain coming from his right thigh, he once more picked up the sword and dragged it with him.

Jarrett turned around when he heard the sound of Saria screamed, he saw what happened and quickly finished off his attacker and slashed his way toward the boy. The boy yelled something out to him but he couldn't make out what it is he is trying to tell him. Then at the corner of his eyes he saw the sharp edge of a blade coming right at him, he swiftly move to the side and blocked out his attacker attacked.

His attacker gave him a grinned and took a step back. “I could see that I have my work cut out for me, if I want my hand on that boy,” he heard his attacker said before he vanished right before his eyes. Jarrett mutter out a cursed and quickly make his way to Saria.

Saria sighed in relieved that Jarrett was no longer in danger, he fell to the hard ground once more. The pain in his thigh was so consuming that his eyes begin to filled with tears. Jarrett stopped in front of Saria and saw the boy bloody legs.

“Why the hell didn't you listen to me and stay hidden like I ordered you too?! Jarrett didn't realized that he was shouting until the boy crawled away from him and cry even more then before. He bent down on one knee and view the damage, the injury was deep nearly as long as his arms and there was dirt in the wound as well. “Damn it!” He cursed.

Alec came over and took a look at the boy legs. “It will need to be clean and sewn together,” Alec stated. Then he add, “we need to get to the Snow Peacock Kingdom as soon as possible.” Alec said with worried.

Jarrett nod his head in full agreement, he took off his shirt and cut it into shred, he then bandaged Saria injured leg up before lifting the boy up off the ground and gave him to Alec to hold while he climb onto his horse. He lifted Saria onto the horse and saddle him in front of him side way careful not to brushed against the boy injured leg. Alec got on his horse and they rode as fast as they could toward their destination.

Saria snuggled against Jarrett chest with his arms tightly wrapped around Jarrett waist. Being closed to Jarrett make him feel safe. In his heart Saria knew that Jarrett wasn't anything like the demon that killed his mother and grandfather. No matter how much he claim to hate the man deep in his heart he knew that he didn't hate the man at all, it was hard for him to hate a demon like Jarrett, especially when he treated him kindly.

“You know I only disobey your order because I saw that your life was in danger and my thought back then was to protect you no matter what.” He whispered softly against Jarrett chest.

Jarrett lifted the boy chin up with his free hand and gave the boy a gently kissed on the lips. He pulled back and smile tenderly at the boy, “I'm sorry for shouting at you earile---” Jarrett didn't get to finished his sentence as Saria hand went up to cover his mouth and stop him from finishing his apology.

“You were shouting at me because you were worried about me, and it was more then I deserved for disobeying you, but I want to make one things clear Jarrett. I will do it all over again if your life is in danger.”

Jarrett removed the boy hand from his mouth and place a gently kissed on the boy palm. He was touched deeply by the boy words. Saria blushed and quickly pulled his hand away. His heart was racing like crazy and he didn't understand why?

When they reached the Snow Peacock Kingdom, Jarrett quickly dismounted and lifted Saria into his arms,then he held the boy firmly against his chest and started the walked up the snow mountain to the Snow Peacock castle. Alec had already started ahead of them. He stopped and wait for the two to catch up before continuing on.

The guard opened the gate for them. A short stout man came forward toward them, the man stopped in his track when he saw the injury on Saria leg. Saria glance down saw then that blood had soak up the bandaged and flowing out like a river down the length of his leg. The sight of that much blood cause Saria to faint right on the spot, if he wasn't being carry by Jarrett he would have landed on the ground.

The man quickly led them inside and Alec request for the man to bring him some stuff that he will need to fix Saria leg. The man nod his head and rush out. On his way he bumped into his king and quickly inform him that their guest had arrived and that one of them was injured badly. His king nod his head and asked him to do what he can for their guest. The man bow and run off to get the things that Alec had requested.
--------------
Saria came to on a soft four poster bed, lying beside him was Jarrett. He braced himself on his elbow and stared at Jarrett sleeping face. A sudden urge to kiss the man enter his mind, before he could think any better, Saria bent down and kissed Jarrett on the lips, he felt a hand went around his waist and pulled him in closer for a deeper kissed. He pulled away in shocked.

Jarrett was awake the whole time, he rolled on top of Saria and grinned down at the boy. “I never once thought that you would steal a kissed from me Saria.” Jarrett saw the boy blushed and turned his head to the side avoiding his eyes.

“You shouldn't... get to full of yourself just because I kiss you on my own free will.” he warned but the sound of his heartbeat gave him away.

“Tell me the truth boy what is your truth feeling for me? You wouldn't have risked your life to save mine if you didn't like me just a bit”

“I...I don't know,” Saria answered softly.

“Maybe another kiss will help you make up your mind,” Jarrett commented with a grinned, he bent down and kissed Saria passionately.

----------------
Alec leaned against the tree with his eyes closed, he was deep in thought about what happened today. Because of his stupid oath Saria got hurt, he couldn't forgive himself for that. He let out a long sighed.

“Why the long sighed?” He heard a voice said from behind him. Alec turned around to see Ian slowly approaching him.

“I was just thinking about how Saria got hurt because of me.”

Ian stopped in front of Alec and gazed into his eyes, “tell me why do you blame yourself for his injury?”

“He wouldn't have gotten hurt if I had not taken an oath not to kill.”

“why did you make this oath?” Ian asked.

Alec leaned his head back against the tree and looked up at the night sky, “ my parent were ruthless killer, they kill without mercy, then one day they killed a person that they shouldn't kill and got cursed to feel the exact pain their victim felt at the time their life is taken from them, to feel all those pain is like burning in a pit of fire, the pain is very consuming that it will drive one crazy. He paused and shut his eyes before continuing, “My parent went crazy after I was born and they kill each other. Because of this I became a doctor and took the oath not to take ones life. So far I had only broken it once, and that was to save a man lifes."

“Was it worth it?” Ian asked.

Alec turned his head and looked at Ian. “It was worth it because that man became one of my important friend, if I didn't save him then he would have become a menacing demon.”

Ian smiled, “Alec what happened today was not your fault, or the boy fault that he got hurt, what happen was that you guys were attacked and someone is bound to get hurt.”

Alec gave Ian a weak smile still not convinced that Saria injury was not his fault, but he did felt a little better.

Ian took a hold of Alec hand and held on to it, “come with me I want to show you something.”

Alec allowed himself to be led away to the ice sculpture garden, they came to a stopped in front of something big, Alec concluded that it was an ice sculpture. Ian pushed him forward and told him to pull down the blue fabric.

“Go on.” Ian urged Alec.

Alec reached up and pulled the blue fabric off the ice sculpture to reveal an ice sculpture of himself. His mouth dropped open wide and both his hand went to his cheek. He stared at the ice sculpture of himself. He was speechless word cannot described how he felt at this very moment.

“You like it? I worked really hard on it.”

Alec finally found his voice, he turned to Ian and gazed into his eyes, “I love it, but how could you---” he didn't get to finished his question Ian stopped him with a kissed on his lips.

Ian felt Alec tremble when his tongue slipped inside his mouth, he tightened his hold around Alec waist, then he felt Alec arms wrapped around his neck and lean into him until their thighs were pressed against each other. The kissed seem to last forever and when Ian finally pulled back Alec lips was raw pink from the kissed.

Alec couldn't believed what just happened, Alec had kiss him and he had responded back with out shamed. His face turned bright right, he quickly excused himself and ran to his room but before he could Ian grabbed his arms and pulled him back against his chest. Ian lifted Alec chin up with his hand and gazed into Alec eyes.

“Marry me?”

Alec eyes opened wide, he couldn't believed his ears Ian want to marry him, but why? Then he remembered that he was here to marry the snow peacock king. He shook his head rapidly at Ian, “I'm sorry I can't marry you, I came here to marry your king.”

Instead of being upset Ian gave him a big smiled and leaned toward him, he whispered to Alec beside his ears and reveal to him who he is, Alec eyes got even bigger, he took a step back and stared at Ian for a long moment in silent. Then he ran up and leaped into Ian opened arms, Ian immediately wrapped his arms around Alec. “I'm guessing that your answered is a yes,” Ian commented in a teasing tone.

Alec nod his head and Ian once again captured his mouth with his, they kiss some more before walking back to the castle hand in hands. Alec was content, he never once in his life thought that he will find someone that will want him as their husband. Ian had proved him wrong.

Anthony clung to Gareth as he thrust deep into him, his body was on fire, he felt Gareth thrust harder. The fire inside him burned him hotter then ever. Gareth thrust into him again and again deeper each time hitting the spot that make him cry out in pleasure.

“Ah...ah...ah...ah!”

Gareth thrust in a few more times and buried himself as deep as he could inside Anthony hot opening. and came hard. He relaxed and slumped his sweaty body on top of Anthony.

“That was better then last time don't you think boy?”

“I don't know, now get off me you weight a ton old man.” snap Anthony. The old demon is still buried deep in him again and he want the damn demon to pull out.

Gareth grinned, “no, I'm getting hard again.”

Anthony eyes widen, damn it he knew that this was going to happen, the man is a sex monster, no scratch that out he is a sex demon. He glared at the demon, “Damn you old man how the hell can you get hard again so fast, its utterly impossible you just came!” He shouted. Then he add, “I refused, we did it seven times already more then that it is utterly impossible,no its beyond possible!” he stated.

Gareth chuckled and begin moving in and out of the boy. They did it again and again until the sun raise. Gareth rose from his bed when he heard a knock on his door. He sat up and called for them to come in. he pulled the blanket over the naked boy sleeping soundly beside him and looked up to see Alec entered his room with a big smiled.

“Alec when did you get here?”

“Yesterday evening,” answer Alec. Then he add, “the snow peacock king told me this morning that you are still here in his castle and won't be leaving until I get here. I thought that I should come by and tell you that you are free to returned to your home with your lover boy.”

“You agree to marry him, I presumed.”

Alec nod his head, “yes I did and there is no need for you to worry uncle Gareth.”

“Don't tell me that you two fell in love with each other when I ordered you to accompany Cain back then to get his lover boy.”

“I don't know if he loves me or not he haven't said it but I know that he likes me and want me by his side he said so himself last night after he asked me to marry him.”

Gareth reached down for his robe and put it on before getting out of bed. He didn't want to parade around naked in front of his nephew. He walked over to his nephew and pulled him out of the room, he shut the door quietly behind him.

Jarrett was on his way to his own room with a tray of food for Saria when he saw Gareth and Alec coming out of Gareth room at least he think that it is the room assign to Gareth while he is staying here at the snow peacock castle. The two was having a serious conversation,from the look of it Jarrett thought as he walked toward them.

“Don't worry uncle Gareth, I already told Ian about my fear of having children and he understand.”

“Are you sure? Because most king would want an heir to their throne to carry on their bloodline and I am willing to bet that the snow peacock king is no difference then the rest of all those high and mighty people.” Gareth commented with his arms cross in front of him.

"Yes, and its not like I can't have children uncle Gareth.”

Gareth smiled at his nephew and pulled him in for a hug. “I must confessed Alec, I am very happy that you find someone that wants you cursed and all. And I believed that the snow peacock king love you, if he didn't he wouldn't have make such a bargain with the demon king for you.”

“When did you became all sentimental, Gareth.” Jarrett remarked from behind Alec.

“Jarrett just the person I want to see.” Gareth said with a grinned.

Jarrett knew that look on Gareth face, the man is about to make him regret his remarked to him. Gareth place a hand on his shoulder.

“Jarrett you get to do the honor of returning back to the demon castle with the ice bed.”

“Wait... hold on a minute, how the hell am I supposed to bring a bed back with me?”

“Figured it out yourself,” Gareth replied with a smirked. Then he disappeared back into his room.

Alec laughed and walked away leaving Jarrett alone to cursed at himself.
