Chapter Twenty-Three:


Saria hugged his knee tightly. His face buried in them. He cried long and hard cursing himself. He was such an idiot, he shouldn't have run away. None of this would have happened if he just stay put and waited for Jarrett to come back and get him. He shouldn't have let his emotion ruled his head. The urged to vomit hit him hard. Saria let go off his knees and turn to his side, he vomited.

“Saria,” a familiar voice called from behind him. Saria froze and slowly he turned his head around and looked up to see the person he wanted to see the most looking right at him walking toward him. Saria stood up and instantly race toward Jarrett. His hand went around Jarrett, his face buried in Jarrett warm chest. He burst into tears crying harder then before mumbling out what had happened to him.

It took all his strength not to let Saria go so that he could find the bastard that tricked and raped his Saria. He held the boy tightly in his arms and comfort him, ushering the words that everything is going to be alright.”

Saria shook his head and looked up at Jarrett, “everything is not alright, Jarrett, I'm carrying that bastard child inside of me, I'm dirty and unfit to be by your side. I'm a whore, I let him do those stuff to me because I thought that he was you. I hate myself, I don't want to live anymore Jarrett.”

“Never, say that you don't want to live Saria, I don't want to ever hear those words out of you again. You are not a whore, you were drug and raped by a man who pretended to be me, he fooled you. The one that deserved to die is that bastard not you. I love you Saria, I don't care one bit at all that you are carrying some other man child.” Jarrett then lifted Saria face up with his thumb, “that child will be our child, we will raised him together. I will be the baby father your child is my child. A true man will not turned his back on the one he loved.” Jarrett added with a smiled.

Saria hugged Jarrett tighter, “I love you Jarrett, I don't want to love you, but I do, I keep telling myself that you are a demon and that you are no better then all the rest of the demons. But you always proof me wrong, you take care of me, you put me above all else. It always make me happy when you asked me how my day is when you returned from one of your mission. I love you Jarrett. Please believe me, I am not saying this just because you are going to take responsibility for a child that's not yours...”

Jarrett cut Saria off with a kissed. He pulled away and whispered, “I love you Saria but you taste like vomit.” He teased.

Saria laughed and wiped his tears away he hit Jarrett gently on the chest. Then he turned around and Jarrett wrapped his arms around him, “I promise that I won't leave you again Saria, you are stuck with me for the rest of your life boy.”

“And you Jarrett is stuck with me for the rest of your life, and I swore to make your life as miserable as the day we first met.”

Jarrett laughed and hugged Saria tighter, he stare into the distance, his mind filled with ways to murder the man that hurt his Saria. He nodded a thank you to the person standing far away in the distance. The person nodded back and rode off. It was thank to that person that he found his Saria. Who ever that stranger is he know who he was. Jarrett cannot help but notice that the man resembled his demon king and the fire phoenix boy.

Antony put down his spoon and race toward the bathroom, he bend over the sink and vomited for about half and hour. When done he rinsed his mouth and walked out of the bathroom to crawled into bed too sick to eat anything. He wondered why he had been sick so often these day. He sighed and shut his eyes for some rest. Downstairs Gareth sat across from his father and beside his father sat Julian wearing a frown on his face. One looked at the man Gareth knew that the man wasn't too please with his father. “You found your self a husband father” he joked.

Vince grinned, but did not bother to correct his son, he saw, Julian, glared at him murderously at his son comment. “What about you Gaerth? How is that boy of yours doing?” He asked.

Gareth smiled and drink the wine in front of him. Then he answer, “ he been throwing up every morning these passed four weeks. And he refused to let me sleep next to him claiming that I was the one that got him sick.”

Julian, turned his head to the side, hump, “I feel sorry for the boy for having a fox demon like you as a husband and a stupid one too.”

“What do you mean by that?” Gareth asked not really offended by the man remarked. Just curios.

“Vince is your son really a fox demon like you, because I thought that all fox demon are able to tell by smell that their husband is carrying,” said Julian with his arm cross in front of him.

Gareth stood up from his chair with his mouth open wide, Vince laughed at his son reaction and turned to Julian, “you can't blame my son for being stupid in that department, Julian. He had never been a father before.”

“Anthony, pregnant,” he blurted out loud when he got over his shock.

Julian eyes flew open wide, and he stood up from his chair. “Did you just said Anthony?” he demanded.

Gareth nod his head, “yes, I just said, Anthony.”

“Does he have a friend name Marcus?” Julian demanded that the man answer him now.

“Yes he do have a friend name Marcus,” Gareth didn't get to say another words as Julian fist came straight at him and punch him hard in the face.

“You fox demon bastard how dare you got my son pregnant I am so going to kill you,” Julian howled out, Vince caught the man by the waist and held on tight to stop him from going after his son. What are the odds that his son would get with Julian son and here he is planing to get his hand on Julian himself. Maybe this will work out some how and they could become a big happy family. with him and Julian together and his son with his son Gareth.

Anthony was still sleeping when the door to his room opened and his dad came walking up to him. Julian sat down beside his son and gently shake his boy awake. Anthony slowly opened up his eyes, he rubbed the sleep away and looked up to see his dad instead of Gareth, he sat up right away.

“Dad, is it really you?” he asked.

“Yes its me Anthony and I must say that I am very disappointed in you. How could you give your innocent away to a fox demon like him?” yell Julian.

Anthony wrapped his arms around his dad and hugged him, “I'm sorry daddy, I don't know why? But when he touches me I turned into a feather, I try to resist at first but I let my feeling get in the way.”

Julian stroked his son head, “ he didn't forced himself on you?” ask Julian.

Anthony shook his head, “I resisted at first but then I became willing,” he answer with honesty.

“What do you feel for this fox demon? I want to know your truth feeling regarding him.” Julian asked his son.

Anthony answer once again with honesty, “I always feel safe with him, my heart will beat faster then ever and when we slept together I find that I enjoy his touched- no more like I craved for his touched. He make me feel love if I have to put it into words the only bad things about him is that he is too arrogant, yes that's right the only bad part about him is that he is way too arrogant and because of that part of him I never give him the satisfaction of knowing that I really love it when we sleep together.”

Julian let out a sighed, “Anthony you are in love with him. Do you know that my boy?”

Anthony glance up at his dad, “really, impossible how can I love an arrogant demon like him?”

Julian smiled down at his son, “Anthony what you just told me, tell me that you love Gareth and I hate to tell you this my boy, you are already pregnant with his child and that make it utterly impossible for me to bring you back home with me. It will not be fair to the child and to Gareth as much as I hate to say this but your place now belong next to him.”

“I'M PREGANT!!” Antony shouted, then before his dad could stop him he dash out of bed and out the room determined to locate Gareth and kill the man with his bare hand. Julian stood up and race out the door after his son, calling out for the boy to slow down or he will trip and fall.

Gareth was sitting in the library with his father talking about what names he should give his baby when Anthony finally located him. One looked at the boy face, Gareth stood up immediately and as soon as the boy came at him he race toward the door.

Anthony caught Gareth before he could even make it out the the door, he grabbed Gareth by the ear and dragged him out of the room. Gareth silently asked his father for help, but only received a laugh from his father and a good luck. Julian watched as his son dragged Gareth by the ears back to their room with Gareth shouting for the boy to let go of his ears, his son replied was to tighten his hold on Gareth ear.

“It looked like my son met his match, the boy might not know it but he have more power over Gareth then he think, I never seen my son behaved like this before,” Vince commented with a chuckles.

Julian walked over to the man, “if your son mistreat my son in anyway, I will have his head,” Julian said with a glared.

Vince grabbed Julian hands and pulled him down onto his laps, “don't worried about those two lets worried more about us, tell me Julian when will you give me the pleasure of tasting you? I am dying here to know what its like to make love to you?” he said with a smirked.

Julian glared at the man, “I will never give you that chance, just the thought of having you doing those things to me make me want to puke. Its best that you throw that idea out of your head for it will never happen, I hate demons, especially you.”

Vince replied is too kissed Julian. He didn't even give Julian time to guess his action. He captured Julian face with his hand and brought his mouth down hard on Julian kissing the man sitting in his laps with great passion. When he finally pulled away Julian slapped him hard across the face and ran out of the room. Vince wear a smug looked on his face as he rubbed the side of his cheek, Julian had responded to his kissed and that is great victory for him.

Alexia tripped on a fallen tree branch and fell forward, strong arms caught him before he fall to the ground. He looked up to see a young man staring at him with concern “are you alright?” he heard the young man asked. He simply nodded his head. The young man let him go.

“Where is your husband?” Urian asked.

“I don't have a husband, I am just a pregnant mistress.” Alexia explained to the young man.

Urian didn't commented on the man explanation. He saw Val heading toward them. And in no moment at all Val embraced Alexia tightly and thank god that Alexia was alright. “Who the hell are you?” He asked the man that help Alexia he didn't even bother to hide his jealousy.

“I am just a stranger passing by, if you would excused me now, I have a place I must get to.” Then he turned and left. He smiled secretly, his father and daddy in law are just the same as they are in the future. He stopped and turned back. To see his father in law walked his daddy in law inside. My sweet Mira if you could see your parent now, you would not believed your eyes that your father had changed so much in twenty years. He thought.

Thinking about his husband Mira make him sigh, he looked up into the clear blue sky, “daddy,Mira, I will find the golden feather and bring it back in time. I won't allow you two to die. No matter what he have to go through in this time he won't allow his dad to die and leave his father all alone just as he won't allow his husband Mira to die and leave him all alone. He must find his grandfather Ramsey and get him to tell him where he hid the golden feathers.
-----------------
Alexia frowned at Val and put down his spoon, “really Val there is no need for you to be so mean at the young man he was just helping me out. I see no reason why you got to be jealous.” he said. Then he rubbed his big tummy with a smiled, “you should be thankful that he was there are else I would have lost Mira.” he added.

Val looked up at Alexia, “you name the baby already?” he accidentally shouted.

Alexia glared at the man, “whats wrong with that? He's my baby, I could damn well name him what ever I want, and you have no say in this matter. You didn't care one bit about me until you found out that I was with child, don't think for a minute that I would forget and forgive you just like that. You did so many horrible things to me Val. If you want to be apart of our child life I suggest that you work more on how to get me to forgive you.” then he stood up and left the dining room. Val slumped back on his chair and cursed himself. “Shit! Damn pregnant man and their mood swings.”

The man was impossible to reason with, Marcus sigh and pace back and forth, his stomach was getting bigger and bigger everyday staying locked up at home was getting to him. Cain had refused to let him go out and do anything after the incident. And this pisses Marcus off, he was not one to sit around and do nothing, he likes to keep moving doing things, anythings that will keep him from feeling bored, he wished that Cain would just understand that.

Tired form pacing back and forth cursing at Cain Marcus went into the room and lie down to rest. He feel asleep as soon as his eyes closed. Outside a figured dress in black appeared and dose the little cottage with oil. The figure let out a sinister smiled and lit the torched in his hand, “good-by Marcus,” the figured whispered into the wind. Then he proceed to lit the little cottage on fire. He stood back and watched the flames with glee.

The smoke from the fire woke Marcus from his little nap, he got up right away and race toward the door, he found the door Jam from the outside. He panic and started to pound hard on the door until his hand bled with all the strength left in him he shouted out for Cain. His shout soon turned into weak coughs. The roof came collapsing down right at him, he moved to the side just in time and fell to the floor. “Cain, Cain,” he called softly as darkness over took him.

Cain was just on his way home to see Marcus when he spotted the flames of fire coming from he direction of his house, as fast as lightening he speed toward his home. Praying that Marcus will be alright. Maya was just coming out from cleaning Alec and his dad place up when he saw the flame he immediately went to see what was going on. He arrived at the same time as Cain. They both saw the big wood propped against the door. Cain kicked the wood away and was about to go inside when the roof came down and block his way, he was planning to kick his way in and risked his life to save his Marcus when Damien stopped hm by pulling him back.

“This is no ordinary fire Cain if you go in there you will be burned to death right away, who ever did this knew what kind of demon you are and what your weakness is, they anticipated that you will try to rescue him.” said Damien.

“You suggested that I let Marcus die, there is noway I would let him, even at the cost of my life.”

Maya stepped in front of Cain and stood before the door. And before Damien and Cain could stop him he walked right inside the flaming cottage. He immediately spotted Marcus on the floor. He walked toward Marcus and pushed the burning wood out of the way like it was nothing to him. He bend down slowly and helped Marcus up he hoped to god that this won't harm his own child. He put his arms around Marcus waist and carried him to safety outside.

Cain immediately takes Marcus from Maya and lay him down on the grass. He check to see if Marcus was still breathing. They all sighed in relief when Marcus started coughing. Cain embraced Marcus right away and tears quickly filled his eyes. Marcus opened his eyes and gazed up at Cain, he gave him a weak smiled, “I knew that you would come for me,” he said softly before darkness consumed him once more.

Damien turned his attention to Maya, “are you hurt anywhere?” he asked.

Maya smiled, “nope, I am a fire phoenix those kind of fire are nothing they can't hurt me. I barely even felt the fire when I went inside.” reply Maya then he bend down to touched Marcus brow and looked up at Cain. “I think that its best if you and him stay at the castle tonight.”

Cain nodded his head, he was in full agreement. He picked up Marcus and carry him. after he get Marcus settle down in his room in the castle he will immediately look for the culprit. It is clear to him now that who ever did this to Marcus wants Marcus out of the way. “Who ever you are I will find you and skin you alive,” Cain vow silently.
