Devil Inside

Thank you to everyone that has read this little 'drabble' of mine. Would LOVE for you to make a comment on it though, as I adore feedback, as there are some occasions where it gives me ideas. Right now I have no beta, nor can I use my friends to bounce off ideas, so your thoughts on things, or confusion on something definitely helps me

Chapter 6 - Try again



"Addy...Addy....it's time to awaken." Killian said softly trying to rouse him from his slumber. It was still early in the morning, though only a few hours into the daylight


"Killie?" Adreyn said from his slumber, the voice beginning to rouse him


"Yes child, I am here. It's time to awaken." Killian said, using tones of voice that Cavan had never heard from the man. There was a very good reason why the man was named the Iceman, and even himself had never seen him warm. Now seeing him looking at his little angel with a love that was heartfelt and warm, startled him into action.


"Stay away from him." Cavan said his voice harsh, though Adreyn was still trying to remove the cobwebs from his slumber. The night before, they had fought slightly with Cavan about the 'sleeping' positions and Adreyn finally compromised and allowed him in the room with him, but he had to sleep away from him. He had agreed and kept his face turned as Adreyn had stripped and settled into the bed.


"Killie...what are you......doing.....he...re........." Adreyn said then faltering as awareness of his position and what his father's servant meant. They were coming for him. And at that thought he began screaming at the top of his lungs in terror. At that Cavan turned to him and saw how frightened he looked.


"Addy...I won't hurt you. I promise. On your father's life, I won't hurt you." Killian said bending down to the terrified man. He knew about the beatings, but never suspected that it had damaged him this badly. If he had known, he would have forced him then to talk to his father and get Asher taken away.


"Cavan.....don't let him near..." Adreyn pleaded with his only lifeline to his sanity.


"Of course my angel." Cavan said and with that made a defensive motion in front of Adreyn, drawing his sword that he had retrieved from his vehicle the night before they had come and drew it against his master. He did not exactly understand what was going on, but that tattoo was too important to try to dismiss. As sudden as a flicker of light radiating in the warm wind, a moment of clarity and remembrance hit him. The mark...the small child that they had warned about...and Killian, the personal guard and knight to the Emperor. And then the last piece. The Emperor himself. It had been a very long time but he had remembered the look of the Emperor. His black hair was distinctive. And at that he turned fully and truly looked at Adreyn, now in the light of the morning and not the dark of the night. And really attempted to NOT drop his mouth in shock.


"His father looked like this when Adreyn left and even at 10 years of age, Chelan was a gorgeous beauty. Every woman that I have ever seen can not compare to the beauty of Chelan. I am so glad Adreyn that you look like your father." Killian said softly, looking at his love's child with tenderness.


"His...father....." Cavan said trying not react harshly to those revelations


"Yes, his father. Addy, your father wants you back. He knows how much you still love him and need him, and your feelings have been reaching him. He misses you little angel and has asked me to return you." Killian said, moving closer to Adreyn. Cavan made a move to stop him, and he felt Adreyn grasping at his large built arms in fear. He didn't need to look at them to see he was still terrified.


"I...missed Father as well, but Killie, I go back and my life is forfeit. You KNOW this. Uncle and Aunt have not discovered me, for what unknown reason and I can't return." Adreyn said trying to make his wishes known.


"Will you tell your father what you have just said. Will you finally tell Chelan that your uncle has been beating you since your eyes have awoken." Killian asked him, hoping for the right answer. Seeing Chelan's anguish at the deaths of his children had nearly driven Killian into breaking the cardinal rule of the cosnaímid, and after the last one, the one that he had heard Chelan sobbing to conceive as he was completely against the union, and seeing the death of the boy by the robot babysitter, that he KNEW Asher had rigged had nearly driven him insane. Both with the urge to kill, and the urge to finally bring Chelan close to him.



"Only if....Cavan can come with me. I don't want to be alone there." Adreyn said quietly accepting the inevitable


"It has already been assumed. Both you and Rangios are expected. And do not worry, your father has already decreed that because Rangios has served YOU, he will not be harmed. As well Addy, you haven't been hiding your feelings too well, and Chelan knows about my young pupil. Arrangement have already been made for him." Killian said as he watched the young prince flare up in embarrassment. Cavan on the other hand turned around to face his little black angel and thought the sight of his face made him look more ethereal then ever.


"Aren't they gorgeous when they look like that." Killian whispered to his pupil, not ashamed of letting him in on the secret of his love for Chelan



"Master?" Cavan said not understanding, but seeing the love flowing from his Master that was nicknamed the Iceman, was very strange. Though he supposed that when he went with him, he would understand more.


"Do not worry Cavan. You will understand. In time. In the meantime, we should go. I don't want to leave your father for too long. Asher always has ideas when it comes to my bàidh." he said which startled Adreyn and made Cavan turn his head and smile.


"So you are finally going to declare yourself? Even as a child I knew you had the hots for my father." Adreyn said with a grin and Cavan sent a glance to his mentor and master.


"Master?" Cavan asked and watched one of the wonders of the world occur as Killian's cheeks began to colour with a pinkish tinge.


"We should go" Killian said turning his head before his pale cheeks got any more colour in them.


"Anything you say master." Cavan said with a grin. Even though they were in what was known as New York, the Emperor and his family were in Ireland. The only way to travel now that the skies were still littered with the particles from the previous war, was to travel by a form of prism light. Normally the general populace had access to only those in the cities, but for the elite guards they had their own portable ones. Of which Killian began the process of warming up. It would take at least 10 minutes to warm up, which gave them a chance to gather their personal belongings. Rangios had already begun packing, tears freely flowing down his face at the thought of his master returning to the lions den. Though seeing Cavan with him, it did make him a bit happier.


"Adreyn, we will be gone for a few days. I know your father and he will try to keep you there, but remember. You are prince and have responsibilities there, but you are Adreyn and a god. I will back you in any endeavor you need to, and you know that if you tell your father he will listen to you. You have always been his favourite, and he loves you." Killian said in support of the prince and future King.


"I thank you, and just to give YOU a heads up. I will support any action you take against my father. I think you both need each other. I have felt father's emotions when it comes to you, and he loves you. You are his life, and it is high time that you made yourself known to him." Adreyn said thinking about his father's emotions for the last two years.


"If I didn't know you my little black angel, I would suspect that someone else has invaded my little angel. I didn't know you could be so forceful. I like it." Cavan said coming over to him and leaning slightly upwards to nuzzle his neck Hearing a slight purr come from his voice he clamped down on the feeling of not wanting to ravish him right then and there. Besides, if what Adreyn said was true, his Master was going to become Consort to the Emperor, and since he was going to be Consort to the Prince, it would make him his father in law...and quite disturbing on so many levels.




---------------------------



As the main meetings concluded, Chelan sighed in relief. He had felt the shock again of Adreyn being frightened, much like last night, which was what had woken him up in the early morning. With the 6 hour time difference the time had put the spike about 2am, and this last one very early morning for them. which made him wonder. But here, it was now late evening, and Killian should be returning soon. Just the thought of being with him and tonight finally moving their friendship to the next level had made him squeamish most of the afternoon, much to the dismay of most of the council. Just as he thought he could not handle any more, the object of his desires came into the council chambers, as secret smile was on his face. Bowing to the council, he moved over to Chelan's side and leaned down to whisper:


"Your prized possession is in your chambers, highness." and with that stood up and with a backwards glance at Chelan, sent him the most scorching look that if Chelan hadn't been already hot already, would have exploded right then and there. As it was, he know had a very hard time concealing the fact that he was hard as a rock and aching inside.


"Thank you Killian. Gentlemen, my prior engagement has arrived. At this time, I declare the meeting adjourned." Chelan said and with that stood up, his erection behaving slightly and left the room, with Killian following behind him, though not looking where he normally was, but right now right on Chelan's ass. The one that he was going to deflower tonight if it was the last thing he was going to do.


They both began the winding upwards to where Chelan's chambers were. For protection, Killian had suggested his chambers away from all others, and since it was the way he had put it, Chelan agreed. The main reason was that he had all the floors rigged so that if anyone except authorized people came up, he would know immediately. It was something that could not be hidden, and he was already making sure that Adreyn's chambers had the same thing. Though he suspected that with both Rangios and Cavan protecting him, he would be as safe as Chelan and both he and Dai protected him with their lives. For tonight however, he was going to give Adreyn, his father's chambers for the protection as it would take at least another 24hrs for his chambers to be ready. And Chelan was going to be a bit busy on his back tonight anyways for him to notice.


As they entered they could see that Cavan was on the bed, with Adreyn in his arms, cradling him softly as he was lightly dozing in his arms. Which made Chelan smile and he made a gleeful noise which brought the attention of Cavan, who stared at Chelan in complete awe. He had thought that Adreyn was incredibly beautiful, but nothing could have prepared him for the sheer ethereal beauty of his father. His hair was still up in the crown that adorned his head but flowed all the way down his back. The dressings that he was in were fairly billowy, reminding him of Kimono's that came from Japan, but were not open in the front. The sleeves were very open however, but every part of the man was covered from head to toe. His face was angular and lean, but very soft looking, with nearly sculpted cheekbones and a slight almond shape to his eyes. The eyes however....a man could drown in those eyes. They flickered with every emotion and swirled like a whirlpool of liquid amber and honey all at the same time. And those lips! Full and soft, the colour of a pink rose and looking like they were just as soft as a rose.


Everything itched with the desire to see if Chelan was as soft and exquisite as he looked and Cavan had a very hard time stopping himself from finding out, when Adreyn awoke and looked up at the desire running rampant through his body. Seeing the same features that he had been itching to touch on Chelan, present in the body that he was currently cradling, he lowered his hand down and felt the softness of Adreyn's face. The warmth flowed through the skin, permeating into Cavan's hand making him awake and alive at the same time.


"A thaisce" Chelan said about his treasure of a son. At that, Adreyn turned and saw his father in the room, standing still and watching him in the arms of Cavan.


"Papa..." Adreyn said, the presence of his voice reducing him back to when he was a baby and being held by him.


"My dearest little angel. I missed you." Chelan said coming over to Adreyn and kneeling in front of him, wanting to drink in his aura that was currently screaming with happiness at being with his father again.


"Papa..." Adreyn cried out and reached out to his father, his lower half still in Cavan's lap, though not for long as Adreyn began squirming to crawl into his father's lap, his mindset reducing him to the small toddler that he always felt when in the presence of his father.


"My dearest, you have been gone for so long. And I have missed so much of your life." Chelan said softly into the massive hair that was mingling with his own as he stroked it, giving comfort to the tortured man.


"Sing to me Papa..." Adreyn begged, needing to hear the soft melodic tones that he had nearly forgotten.


"Of course my little angel..." Chelan whispered and if Killian and Cavan were not so close they would have not heard the words flowing from the melodic voice


May it be an evening star

Shines down upon you

May it be when darkness falls

Your heart will be true

You walk a lonely road

Oh! How far you are from home


Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)

Believe and you will find your way

Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)

A promise lives within you now.......


Chelan finished with Adreyn asleep in his arms and Cavan softly crying. Killian on the other hand, was moved as well, but not by the actions but by the fact that Asher had nearly destroyed Adreyn's pure soul and nearly killed Chelan with their separation. Seeing the two of them together, reminded him of how close he had been to his father, and seeing the other children that his love had beget, he could see that Adreyn was his heart. The two of them were too similar to ever be separated again and he was going to make it within his powers to never allow them to be apart ever again.
