Starry's Corner: I know...this is kind of late. Way late. It's unbeta-ed so excuse the mistakes, I'll have the beta-ed chapter in it's place once my beta is finished reading it over.
Last Chapter:
Axel pulled out of the boy, sitting on the bed for a moment just staring at the blood and semen that seeped out of the blond’s abused back side, “It’s a pity things had to turn out like this...” He murmured softly, eyes flickering up to the blond. He tucked himself back into his pants before he did them up again, leaning over the blond to undo the blond’s hands, “Hm...I changed my mind...” He said softly, smirking as he got off of the bed, “I think I’ll kill him tonight.”
Roxas' eyes widened, "Dammit Axel! Don't!" he pulled himself off the bed, doubling over in pain before hitting the floor. "Fuck!" His nose stung and instantly he forced himself not to cry. Axel was going to kill Sora...he was going to kill him.
Chapter Nine: Snuffing Out the Candle
“Tsk, tsk, tsk...” Marluxia hummed, standing in the doorway to Axel’s room, eyeing the red haired vampire as he crossed his arms over his chest, “Shame on you for what you did. Roxas’ screams of pain were not what I wanted to hear.”
“Then you shouldn’t have listened.” Axel replied snappily, looking over his shoulder to glare at the elder vampire, “Because, I quite enjoyed them.”
The brunet sighed heavily, rolling his eyes before they came to a rest on his fledgling, “Leave it to you to get off on someone else’s pain.” He said with a sigh, “Were you faking it all those times with me?” He asked, his eyes narrowing at the red head’s indifferent snort, “I’m hurt, you inconsiderate asshole.”
Axel let out an annoyed sigh, turning to face the brunet, “Look, for once in your miserable life, mind your own fucking business.” He all but hissed through clenched teeth, his emerald eyes narrowed dangerously.
“...You’re going to have your fledgling resenting you for the rest of eternity.” Marluxia informed Axel, walking closer to the other. He grinned, manicured fingers slipping underneath Axel’s chin, “And, we both know that’s not what you wanted.”
The red head slapped the other vampire’s hand away from his chin, “What in the hell are you going on about, Marluxia?!” He snapped.
“You wanted him to come back into your arms, trembling and vulnerable.” Marluxia replied softly, a smile pulling at his lips, “You know, the way he used to after you first turned him.”
Axel gave the undead man a harsh glare, “Yeah well, that’s not going to happen again so I might as well turn that resentment into full hatred, hm?”
“Hn. But, you know you could never hate Roxas. You hold the same attraction for him as he holds for Sora. You two just weren’t fated to be together like Roxie and Sora.” The brown haired vampire pointed out.
“Would you just shut up!” Axel snapped, throwing his arms in the air, moving away from the other.
“Why should I?” Marluxia asked, an eyebrow arched in question, “You don’t like the truth. It hurts doesn’t it. Stings a whole hell of a lot. But, you need to hear it.”
“I don’t need to hear it from you!” Axel snapped, spinning back around to glare at his Sire, “Don’t you think that I already know it?! That it’s not constantly repeating over and over again in my head!”
“Ignoring it won’t exactly help either.” Marluxia replied, “You could have saved what was left of your relationship with Roxas, but your pushing it to the edge. And, if you’re going to do what I think you are, then you’ll kill it permanently.”
The brunet’s arms crossed over his chest as he watched his hopeless little fledgling, “You’re hopelessly in love with a boy who’s heart belongs to another.” Marluxia continued, “And, it kills you inside.”
Axel groaned softly, “Would you just go run a stake through your heart?” He asked, glaring at the other as he pushed past him, “Your psycho babble bullshit never worked on me before and it never will.” He mumbled, walking down the hall, heading to do what destiny called him to do.
“Hm.” Marluxia sighed, watching Axel disappear down the hall as he leaned against his door frame. Axel mentally hurting was just as hot...if not more, than a broken Roxas. Watching Axel metaphorically dig his own grave was just too much fun.
--- --- ---
Axel was going to kill Sora.
T-that bastard was going to murder his Sora!
“N-no! Not if I can help it...” Roxas murmured, his face contorting in pain as he pushed himself up off of the floor. He panted softly, falling backwards on his bed, using his teeth to undo the belt that still held his hands together.
He couldn’t just let Sora die. He wouldn’t! He loved Sora. He’d do anything to protect him. Even if it meant ripping his Sire limb from limb.
He laid on his bed for a moment, regaining his strength and preparing his body for the upcoming pain he knew Axel had left behind. He hadn’t even considered calling out for help, being as stubborn and determined to reach Sora as he was. It would have done him no good.
Marluxia and Naminé would only ask question, taking away precious time that could mean the difference between Sora’s life and his death. No, he didn’t have the extra time. Therefore, he didn’t need any help as he limped his way to the door.
“My God, Roxas! What happened!”
The blond vampire sighed heavily, leaning against the wall as he heard Naminé run up to him from behind, “Did Axel do something to you?” She asked, immediately taking the boy’s arm and wrapping it around her shoulders to help him.
“...You were right.” Roxas said dryly, hiding his face from the girl so she couldn’t get a clear read of his emotions, “You were right all along.”
“He did do this to you!” Naminé gasped, continuing on towards her room, “What’d he do? You have to tell me!”
“Isn’t it obvious?!” Roxas snapped. He was angry. “Or were my screams not loud enough?” He was angry at Axel and at himself. So people around him were going to get hurt, even if it wasn’t Roxas’ intention of causing them pain.
“I was downstairs having some ice cream!” Naminé replied, taken back at the harshness in Roxas’ voice, though internally she knew it wasn’t directed at her, “Did Axel...?” She started softly, glancing over at the pained blond, “He did, didn’t he?”
“He said he was going to kill Sora.” Roxas replied, dodging her question, “I’ve got to get to him...I can’t let that happen...not to him...”
“He said that!” Naminé exclaimed, letting the vampire limp out of her arms, “He said that!” She could almost say she knew it would come to this...but, she didn’t want to believe it. Love conquers all. Right?
“Yes, he fucking said that!” Roxas snapped at the girl, giving her a glare. He sighed heavily, seeing the girl’s eyes mist over, “Naminé...Nam...M’sorry...”
“Go!” The girl insisted, her own eyes narrowing into a glare, “Don’t worry about me! Worry about Sora! Get to him before Axel does!”
Roxas’ eyes lingered on the girl for a moment longer, guilt welling up within him for snapping at her like he did, “I didn’t mean to snap...” He said.
“Damnit, Roxas! I said don’t worry about me! Get to Sora!” She cried, her hands clenching into fists, “He needs you more than I do!”
Roxas let a sigh fall from his lips before nodding. He’d make things right with her after he made sure his little lover was okay.
The girl heaved a sigh, watching the blond vampire disappear down the hall. She just wished...there was something she could do. But, she had learned long ago not to meddle in a vampire’s affairs.
--- --- ---
After nearly a torturous hour of making his way across town to the college campus, Roxas had finally made it back to Sora’s dorm room. Fear...welling in his chest as he approached the room, clinging to the slim hope that Sora was still alive.
He pulled the dorm key that his lover had given him out of his pocket, shoving it into the lock before pushing open the door, “Sora...?” He subconsciously mumbled. His body was in so much pain...but, he had to make sure his little brunet was okay.
The said brunet had been up and about for nearly an hour, completely pissed off to wake up and not find Roxas anywhere after the blond had promised he would return before he was awake. He had tried to concentrate on his homework, but he was so angry he couldn’t even think straight to work on the assignments a classmate had dropped off not too long ago.
“Roxas!” He said, turning from the breakfast bar, where he sat with his laptop, at the sound of his name, “Do you know what time it is?”
Roxas couldn’t even bring himself to meet Sora’s gaze, instead his eyes remained glued to the carpeted floor, “M’sorry.” His reply was quiet, simply because he didn’t have the voice to speak.
It was impossible to describe the relief that flooded his mind when he walked into the little dorm room to see his brunet safe and well.
“Sorry? Sorry!” Sora replied, a harsh bite to his voice, “Roxas, you promised you’d only be gone an hour!” He hadn’t noticed the unusually soft manner in which Roxas replied, nor the look of pure physical pain the blond wore.
“I-I know...I...” Roxas started, finally raising his eyes to the other, noting the anger in the brunet’s ocean blue eyes. It only made him frown, although he was so happy to see that his lover was safe.
Sora had opened his mouth, intent on further yelling at the blond for breaking his promise, but then he noticed the look on the other’s face. And, it stopped him dead in his tracks, “Roxas...?” He asked, his voice softer than it had been before, the bite and harshness completely gone as he moved towards the vampire, “What’s the matter? Why do you look so hurt? I didn’t mean to yell at you...” He added quickly, thinking that he was the cause for the look upon his lover’s face.
His mark was still bleeding, he could feel the blood snaking down his neck and he was sure Sora could notice it as he tried to find something to say. To say that the pain he was feeling wasn’t Sora’s fault.
“I...I-I’m just glad you’re okay...”
“W-why are you bleeding?” Sora asked, his eyes falling to the blond’s mark as he stood in front of Roxas, cupping a cold cheek with his palm, thumb brushing across the splotched skin as he raised his other hand. Using a finger to wipe away the trail of blood from the vampire’s mouth, “This...it’s your blood...right?”
“Uh-huh.” Roxas replied simply, nodding slowly as his arms came up around the brunet, pulling the teen to him, “I...wa-wanted to make sure you were alright...that...that he d-didn’t hurt you...” He mumbled, burying his face in the brunet’s neck.
Confusion passed over Sora’s features as he let the vampire hold him and in turn held him as well, “Who, Roxas? What are you talking about, baby...you’re scaring me...” He whispered.
“Axel.” Roxas replied, pulling away from the brunet, dabbing at the blood on his neck, letting it stain his finger tips, wincing a little as he kept an arm around his lover.
The name made the brunet frown deeply, “Did he do that to you?” He asked softly, his arms still around the blond haired vampire, “Did he make you bleed?”
“Bleed…scream…beg him not to hurt you…” Was the quiet reply, his eyes finding interest in his own mark he had left on Sora. How could something so simple cause so much pain?
“R-roxas…?” The brunet said, his voce as soft as the vampire’s, “I think you need to tell me what happened.” He finished, his voice pleading as he took his lover’s face between his hands, forcing the blond to look at him.
He didn’t want to strain his voice and tell Sora that Axel had successfully broken him once again and made him feel like he did on the night he died. But, his eyes told the whole story as he still struggled to say it aloud.
“Roxas…you’re scaring me right now…” Sora said, looking at the vampire before him, “Please tell me what happened.”
Roxas’ blue eyes squeezed shut at the pain of having to relive the event as the words hoarsely left his mouth, his head hung in shame as he told Sora what had happened and how hard he had fought against the red head. There wasn’t an ounce of malice in his voice as he spoke, only shame.
“A-and…he…he…raped me, okay?” He couldn’t snap at Sora…even if he wanted to. But, he did pull himself out of the warm embrace, hobbling over to the opposite end of the room and sank to the floor, “It felt like the night I died…all over again.” He mumbled, face in his hands, “But, it hurt so much more…because he threatened you.”
Sora could only stare at the broken boy on his living room floor, a look of pure shock coming over his features before he rushed to the vampire’s side, cradling the blond in his arms. Holding him close, offering the only comfort he could, because what could you do to a vampire rapist?
“My God…” The brunet whimpered softly, resting his cheek on top of the blond’s head, fighting against the intense urge to cry. He needed to be strong for Roxas, if only this once. “Look at me.” He commanded softly as he pulled away from the blond, “Please!”
Roxas just couldn’t bring himself to look at his little brown haired lover. No matter how much he forced himself and tried to convince himself. He just couldn’t do it.
Sora strangled back a sob, “F-fine! I won’t force you to look…” He said, his voice shaking and high pitched as he continued to speak, “B-but, I love you…and I always will. No matter what!”
“I…I told him to stop. Over and over. He didn’t listen, he never listens.” Roxas continued on as though his lover hadn't said anything at all, “Just like the night I died.” He finished, still unable to look at the brunet that held him.
Sora was at a loss. He didn't know what to do, so he did the only thing that he could. Comfort and reassure his lover, "W-well...it wasn't that night...a-and I'm just fine..." He said, pressing his lips against the sweaty brow of the blond.
Roxas finally wrapped his arms around Sora and exhaled loudly. He didn't want to say anymore, he didn't want to relive the event any more than what he had to.
Silence enveloped the couple as they sat embracing one another, "Maybe..." Sora's voice broke the silence, "You should stay here." He said softly, his fingers tangling in course blond hair, "Instead of staying at your mansion."
"I know...."
“Then you’ll stay?”
"Mhm...I'll stay..."
The next days had passed relatively easy for the couple. But, Roxas couldn't help but feel that this wasn't over. Axel was still out there...somewhere...waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Though, the dense feeling of foreboding the blond had been carrying around with him as of late could be attributed to the fact that he had gotten little to no sleep since his run in with Axel at the mansion.
Finally, in a desperate move, his brunet lover had practically force fed him sleeping pills that had been his roommate’s. Roxas had slept...and slept...and then slept a little more. When he had awoke, his lover was frantic; Thinking that he had given Roxas the wrong dosage and had caused him to overdose.
Now fully rested, Roxas noticed a new problem bare his ugly head one night while he and his brunet were curled up on the couch watching the evening sitcoms. That age old urge washed over him and he felt his teeth prick his bottom lip, insisting that he sink them into that delicious smelling boy he currently had his arms around.
And, that’s what lead him up to this moment, looking at his pouting browned haired lover, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” He whined, looking at the blond with those great big blue eyes.
“Cause, I didn’t want you to worry.” Roxas insisted, pulling the brunet to him, his arms around his waist, “It’s nothing I can’t handle.”
Sora frowned deeply, glaring up at Roxas, “But, can’t ignoring it make you sick?” He asked...no, more like demanded to know.
Roxas sighed heavily, rubbing the back of his neck before setting his hand on the brunet’s waist again, “...a little?”
The brunet’s eyes narrowed, “A little?” He said dryly.
“I’ll go out and feed, will that make you feel better?” Roxas asked, leaning over to press a kiss to the brunet’s cheek. He had been trying to avoid going out for fear of running into Axel again and leaving his little lover alone where he’d be easy pray for the elder vampire. But, he had to go out to feed. There was no way around it and he didn’t want to risk feeding from Sora if he was willing.
“Much.” Sora answered with a nod, “Besides, you’ve been cooped up in the dorm ever since you started staying here. You need some fresh air.”
“But, I like being cooped up with you!” Roxas replied with a mock pout, nuzzling the brunet’s cheek as he chuckled softly, “You just want me out of the way so you can invite that cute boy from your history class over.”
Sora snickered at that, rolling his eyes, “Is that jealousy I hear?” He teased, giving the blond a loving smile, “Though, you being out for a few hours would give me the time I needed to finish off that report.” He added on thoughtfully.
“What do you mean...? You’ve had plenty of time to finish it.” Roxas replied blinking, looking at the brown haired boy.
“You were distracting me.” Sora answered simply with a blush.
Roxas chuckled softly at that, “Alright...I guess I’ll head out then.” He said, leaning over to press his lips against the brunet’s, “I’m going to stop in to see Namine too, let her know I’m alright.”
Sora nodded, “Just...don’t be gone too long.” He said.
Roxas nodded, his hand cupping the brunet’s flushed cheek, “Don’t worry. I won’t be long at all.” He promised.

A deep frown had taken up residence on the young psychic's face and had remained there for a few days now. The girl sighed heavily, staring out of her window. The mansion had been empty for days. Axel had disappeared after attacking Roxas. Marluxia was trying to find Axel before the situation got worse and innocent people got hurt. Even Zexion and Demyx had been enlisted in the search to find Axel.
There had also been no word from Roxas. Though, Namine wasn't so worried about that, considering she was fairly sure the blond was with his lover. Protecting him from his Sire.
There was a soft knock at her door, the platinum blond girl turned, "Come in?" She called, the door opening to reveal Marluxia, "I didn't find Axel...there's absolutely no sign of him." He started, walking into the room, "But, I did run into Roxas on the way back to the mansion."
The girl all but jumped from her place at the window as the blond vampire walked in, "Are you alright?!" Were the first words out of her mouth before she threw her arms around the boy, "How's Sora?" She asked, pulling away, "When was the last time you fed?"
“I’m fine!” Roxas insisted, holding the girl back at am arm’s length so he wasn’t squeezed to death, “Better than I was a few days ago, anyway. And, Sora’s just fine too.” He assured the girl, “And, I found a human to feed off of before I ran into Marluxia.”
The blonde haired girl nodded slowly, “You haven’t seen or heard anything from Axel, have you?” Namine asked, looking at the vampire.
Roxas shook his head, “No...lucky for him.” He said.
“You and Sora are still in danger...I don’t think you understand that, Roxas!” Namine said, her voice soft as she looked at the vampire, "Sora's a human...he's helpless. He can't stand up to a vampire and if Axel wants him dead and you're not there to protect him...then..." Her voice drifted off.
"I know this, Namine.” Roxas said with a heavy sigh, “I’m going back to Sora and staying there with him.”
“Axel’s out to hurt you. Remember that, Roxas. He’ll do anything to get to you. And, I don’t just mean physical pain...”
“I get that and I’m leaving right now!” Roxas said, turning on his heel before giving the girl one last look, “You coming?” He asked Marluxia as he strode past.
“Right behind you.” The elder brunet answered, following.
Namine heaved a sigh, watching the two leave her room, “Be safe...” She said, turning her gaze back to the window, “And, protect Sora.”
