Chapter 13: Visions of Blood
Feliciano hummed a merry tune while skipping through the halls of his castle. He stopped every now and again to smell some of the flowers. This palace he made was beautiful. Why would he ever want to go back to the human world when he can make everything to his specifications and have it all be free as well? Not only this, but he had finally lost his virgin status and couldn't be happier. He considered Ludwig his boyfriend and lover, yet did not think it was time to tell the demon that just yet. He should wait until their second round of love making, and then spring it on him.
Feliciano stopped at the kitchens and asked for a goblet of wine. Being able to drink all day without developing alcoholism was every Italian's dream- or at least in his mind. He continued to skip through the halls and out to the vineyard to greet the servants harvesting the Blood Grapes. But just as he was enjoying himself there came an urgent message for him. A servant ran out with a letter on a tray for him.
"Sire, urgent news from Duke Ludwig."
"Ludwig?" Feliciano handed his goblet to the servant so he could open the folded letter. Breaking the wax seal, he opened the letter and read what it contained. It was written in the demon language but he could read it.
Fellow Dukes,
Come to my hall at once. A terrible tragedy has befallen us. Make haste.
Demon Duke Ludwig
"What could be so urgent? What tragedy?" Feliciano folded the letter and placed it back on the tray. His happiness was now replaced with fear and dread. "I must leave for Ludwig's castle. I will return." He took off in the sky and made his way to Ludwig's castle.
Feliciano was guided to the meeting hall, being the last to arrive. He took notice of Ludwig, dressed all in black, and it reminded him of a villainous vampire. The expression Ludwig wore was anything but thrilled. Ivan was pacing frantically up and down length of the table, growling and mumbling. Alfred appeared annoyed, sitting with his arms crossed next to Sadiq, who was smoking a pipe.
"You're late." Ludwig said sternly.
"I'm sorry, but I just got your letter. What's wrong? Where's Gilbert?"
"That's why we're here." Sadiq answered. "Gilbert has gone missing."
Feliciano gasped. "Missing? What do we know?" He took a seat beside Ludwig.
Alfred spoke next. "Gilbert was abducted sometime last night. Ludwig was sent Gilbert's hands and feet in a box."
Feliciano turned a little green at the image. "Who would take Gilbert?" Thinking back to all the CSI shows he used to watch, he asked. "Was there anything left like a letter? A ransom note?"
"Nothing." Ludwig answered. "Only the box. That speaks volumes. Whoever took him must be after me and not trying to stop our power from combining as the Five Accursed Nations. They could have taken any one of us, and yet here we remain. We don't need Gilbert to carry on with taking over the human world. There doesn't have to be two of us, and the ones who kidnapped him know that."
Ivan finally spoke. "I should have never let him leave last night! I should have made him stay!" He snarled. "Once I get my hands on them-"
"Calm yourself, Ivan." Sadiq said. "Going berserk isn't going to bring Gilbert back any faster. We know he's still alive because Ludwig hasn't felt the spirit of his brother leave him. So they must have a plan. They must know Ludwig will go after him."
Ludwig glanced over at Alfred. "You're awfully silent, Alfred. Usually I have to constantly tell you to 'shut up'."
"I got nothing to say. I was with Ivan all night, I didn't see what happened. It was probably an inside job."
Feliciano gasped. "You think one of us is a traitor?"
Alfred looked at him suspiciously. "Why would you be the only one to say that?"
"You don't think that I would-" Feliciano was interrupted by Ludwig.
"Feliciano was with me all night. None of us would do this to Gilbert. This reeks of the Fiends and their men."
Sadiq puffed his pipe again. "Perhaps it is not the Fiends who went after Gilbert. If they wanted to kidnap one of us, it would be Feliciano. He has both light and dark powers. The Fiends have no use for you or your brother." Sadiq said to Ludwig. "I think it was someone else."
Ludwig took a deep breath. "Put that pipe out before I smack you with it." He was getting red in the face. "The smell is bothering me."
Before Sadiq could retaliate, another voice entered the room. "Excuse me, my dukes?" They all turned to see a young man with cat features and brown hair standing at the opposite end of the table.
"Who is this demon?" Ludwig asked. "How did he get past the guards?"
Sadiq fumbled with his pipe. "That's Heracles! A new member of my court!" He got up and rushed over to him. "I told you to wait outside!"
"I don't listen to you." Heracles yanked his arm away.
Ivan stormed up to him. "Do you know of this? Do you come with answers?"
Heracles was calm as he said, "Yes, I do." He turned to look at Ludwig. "Perhaps it was the angels. They are here."
Ludwig's eyes widened in disbelief. "Angels? Here? Impossible. They couldn't survive passing through into this realm without exploding."
Heracles looked at Feliciano. "He is part angel, and yet he is here." Everyone looked at Feli who started to tremble.
"I…I didn't do anything! I swear! I didn't betray anyone!"
"That's not what we're saying." Ludwig told him. "You are indeed part angel and you can survive here. So who's to say other angels can't walk our streets? Perhaps Feliciano has changed things."
"Wait! Let's ask Antonio!" Feliciano offered. "He's an angel! He may be able to tell us something!"
Ivan growled. "Then summon him! Now!"
'I've already heard you.' Antonio appeared in torso only above Feliciano's head. 'The Light World can only enter this one if another powerful dark being allows them passage. The Fiends have this power, as well as the Dark One. They can make fissures between our dimensions and pass through. There is no truce. The Light World is behind this and the Three Fiends are backing them.'
"So they broke our bargain." Alfred clicked his tongue. "I knew we shouldn't have trusted them!"
Ivan slammed his hand on the table. "It is time we raise our world into the human one! With our powers combined we can rule the human world and slaughter the Light World!"
'You cannot battle the Light World on your own.' Antonio spoke. 'Remember, the Light World has no need for this world or the human world. Where I come from, life is so beautiful that you need nothing else. I only happened to change when I met the twins for the first time. We knew this day would come, and here I stand, with you.'
"So what can we do?" Ludwig asked him. "How do we get my brother back from the Angels?"
'Nothing is worth their distress or pain. The Angels are just bored right now; trying to get involved in what is going on between the Dark One and Fiends. The Powers That Be in the Light World are sitting back right now watching all of this laughing.' Antonio looked at Ivan. 'You must send them a message far stronger than the one they sent you. They are expecting a vicious little brother…not a vengeful lover.'
Ivan growled as his jaws stretched past his ears with his shark teeth growing.
'I can show you where they are. Feliciano will lead the way through me.'
"And offer them a gift." Heracles made a winged cat appear before him and set it on the table. The black and white feline mewed and trotted over to Ludwig. "Angels like gifts. They are always asking for offers. Go there with the means to peacefully negotiate, and then attack."
Ludwig stared at the kitten, and then looked at Heracles. "I do not offer gifts to my enemies." He shooed the cat away. "Sadiq, keep control over your harem dwellers. He should not be here."
"I understand." Sadiq grabbed Heracles' arm and shoved him out of the room, slamming the door. "I apologize for him. He's new."
"Can he be trusted?" Alfred asked. "He did just hear a lot about what we spoke of."
Sadiq nodded. "Yes, he can be trusted. I assure you."
"Still, keep him away from our meetings." Ludwig said. "Now, I will go with Ivan and Feliciano to rescue my brother. You two stay here and keep an eye on things." He said to Sadiq and Alfred.
Feliciano swallowed hard and tried to control his fear, wanting appear brave for Ludwig. He would have to accompany these demons while they raised Hell on the enemy. Ivan looked worse than a demon; he had the appearance of a monster. And Ludwig was an array of emotions and dark energy. Feliciano feared that he would see a darker side of Ludwig this day.
These weren't horses he was riding but gigantic beasts that looked like a horse was crossed with a bull. Feliciano rode with Ludwig, seated in front, with the three dogs walking beside them. The group would make for a terrifying sight. Ivan chose to walk a few steps behind them, not saying a word the entire way. Antonio was leading them through the woods and down a dark path. Feliciano had to close his eyes for he saw all sorts of strange ghostly creatures wandering around; and there were many glowing eyes watching them. He was trying to be brave. This was going to be his life so he had to get used to it. But what was going to happen once they found Gilbert? Was there going to be a fight? He hoped not.
'Stop here.' Antonio whispered. 'There is an old abandon building just straight of here. Can you see it?'
Ludwig looked over Feliciano's head and through Antonio's body. "I do. I remember that place. Traitors used to be brought there."
"To be tortured and killed." Ivan added. "I knew it well."
'That is where they are holding Gilbert.'
Ludwig turned to Ivan. "You wait here until something happens. My goal is to get Gilbert first, and after that, you may do whatever you wish with them."
Ivan nodded.
"What about me?" Feliciano asked. Ludwig got down from his beast and helped him down as well.
"You will stay here with Hellbeast and Viper. They and Antonio will keep you safe. I'm going alone to get my brother back." He glanced at Ivan. "Be ready."
"There will be not a trace left." Ivan promised.
Feliciano stood between the two large dogs and watched as Ludwig rode the horse beast with Bones to the shack. He rests his hand on Viper's head. 'I hope he'll be alright.'
'Feli, we must go with Ludwig.' Antonio said to him.
"But Ludwig said to wait here."
'He will need me to speak to the angels. And I want to send the Light World a message myself.'
Feliciano gulped and looked to Ivan only to find that the demon had vanished. Now he was alone with the dogs and Antonio. He didn't want to be alone. "Okay…" He gulped and knelt between the dogs. "Come on, boys. Let's go after Master Ludwig." The dogs happily obeyed and Feliciano walked between them, his hands resting on their backs. The shack was coming closer and his heart was pounding.
Ludwig entered the shack with Bones and his sword in hand, ready to greet the first angel at blade point. The area was dark and damp. He could hear droplets of water echoing through the building. Looking all around he could see nothing resembling an angel. But Gilbert was here- his sword was throbbing within in hand. His brother was here somewhere. Ludwig came upon a clearing, the only area with light shining on a broken stone floor. He looked up to see a large hole in the ceiling where the black sun shone down. Bones nudged his side and he stroked the muscled head of the dog, settling him down. He stepped inside the open room and looked around.
"Greetings." Came a voice and a flash of bright light from this left. Ludwig had to shield his eyes for a moment. The bright light from angels was always a blinding one. "The baby brother has come." Ludwig said nothing.
Another bright light appeared. "It is amazing how you were to find us so easily."
Ludwig answered, "I have a strong bond with my brother. I simply followed it. I am here to collect him. State your terms."
A different voice spoke, accompanied by a light. "My, my, so eager to move on to business. You are in a dangerous place, Demon Duke Ludwig. Do you know the kind of danger you are in?"
Ludwig smirked. "I hardly call being surrounded by beings afraid to show themselves 'dangerous'. I simply want my brother back, and I would like to know who put you up to this. The Light World has no need for us lowly demon dwelling beneath the earth."
"True, but living an eternity in the Light World can get so boring!" Laughed an angel that floated over him. "You and the Fiends are giving us such great entertainment."
Ludwig's tail swished angrily behind him. "Why do the angels lower themselves to such things? Unless, you are not really angels? Perhaps you are the rejects? Outlaw Angels?"
"How dare you!" Hissed one. "You have no right to question us, rodent!"
'But I do.' Ludwig turned to see Feliciano and Antonio entering behind him with the dogs.
"What are you doing here?" Ludwig hissed.
"Traitor!" An angel shouted when they saw Antonio. "Traitor!"
Antonio's eyes shined brightly like two green beacons and the angels were stripped of their light. They looked simply human without any wings. Feliciano was shocked.
Ludwig growled darkly and let his body alight with flames as he now had clear sight of their flesh. Without their light they were simple bodies of flesh and bone, easily killed. But it wasn't for him to kill these bastards. Someone outside was waiting for them. "Leave this place. Go back to where you came from. Only first, tell me where my brother is."
The angels looked at one another, suspicious and confused. The biggest one spoke. "Why are you letting us go so easily."
"To send a message to your leaders." Ludwig stated. "Stay out of our affairs."
One angel looked at Antonio. "Just wait until the lords here about your betrayal!"
'I'm sure they already know.' Antonio replied plainly.
The angels, knowing they were defeated, started to leave the building. "Your brother is beneath these floors." One said.
Ludwig turned to Feliciano. "Remain here with the dogs and Antonio. Do not move until I come back to get you."
Feliciano nodded. "But won't I be safer outside?"
He smirked. "If there is one place you do not want to be right now it is 'outside'."
Feliciano realized what he meant. Ivan was outside.
The angels stumbled out into the forest making their way towards the dimension tear that shouldn't be far off. One stopped when it heard a terrible rumbling from behind them. Another felt a slight vibration under their feet. The biggest one glanced behind to see a stream of trees quickly breaking and parting; something was coming their way.
One of the angels shouted, "Run! It's Ivan!"
They were all familiar with Ivan. Ivan burst through the broken trees like a rabid dog, baring rows of dagger sharp teeth and massive talons. The angels tried to run, but without their light or wings they were helpless. One panicked and froze with fear as Ivan came towards them. The body was torn apart with lightening speed, sliced open with talons and tail. Ivan chased after another, his widened jaw clamping down on the shoulder and tearing the whole arm clear off. The angel fell to the ground in pain only to be silenced by Ivan's boot shattering the skull. Ivan caught up with another, using his wings to fly and stop in front of it. The angel slid to a halt but did not dodge the huge talon hand that broke through chest and rib to grab the curved bone. The angel screamed in agony as Ivan took its whole form with him to catch another, which he used a rain of daggers from his collection to pierce the running angel. It hit the target, and Ivan, with a shark-tooth grin, went over to the squirming form bleeding and wailing. The other angel was still alive on his hand; too weak to try and break the hold he had on the ribcage. If they wanted to send a message, then Ivan would make sure it was one they never forget. Kicking the angel onto its side, he bent down and sank his jaws into the flesh between the belly and hip. Lifting the angel in his mouth like a predator with a kill, Ivan hurried in the direction where the biggest angel had headed- most likely the leader.
'There it is!'
The leader must have heard Ivan from behind for it stopped and turned around only to be paralyzed with fear at the horrific sight of the others.
Ivan let his eyes shine like two bright stars as he faced the largest angel, slowing making his way over to it. Now that he had the angel's undivided attention, he proceeded further with his 'message'. Finishing off the angel in his mouth, he bit completely through the flesh and let the blood dribble from his fangs while devouring the flesh. A large chunk of the angel's body was gone and pumping dark red blood into the black earth. Ivan gave a growl and a grunt while he pulled the whole ribcage out of the chest, letting the angel fall to the ground with a thump. The leader angel was mortified, unable to speak or run. Ivan's talons cracked loudly as he moved them- his tail swishing high above him with spikes and those curved oxen horns lengthening. He ran his huge demon tongue along the blood soaked teeth and gave a dangerous growl.
"Pick which hand, foot, and eye you wish to lose."
"W-what?" The angel sputtered.
Ivan opened his coat and took out a bloodstained hacksaw along with a flat metal spoon to scoop out an eye. "You heard me. Pick one of each or I will do it for you…and I won't give any warning. Go ahead, make my day." (1) Ivan had always wanted to use that line after seeing the movie. It fit the situation. The angel was too terrified to make a decision. "Alright then. You made your choice."
Feliciano grew nervous being all by himself despite the three large dogs with him. He wasn't alone more than three minutes before he followed after Ludwig with the dogs closely behind. "Ludwig!" He called. "Wait for me!" He came upon some old stone steps leading down. Before him two blue glowing eyes appeared in the dark and he shrieked.
"I told you to wait." Ludwig appeared from the shadows. "Why did you follow me?"
Feliciano gulped. "I…I was getting scared there all by myself."
"My dogs are with you."
"But I need people!" He whimpered.
Ludwig sighed. "Fine. Stay close to me and be careful. These steps are very old."
Feliciano was nearly knocked over by the dogs as they descended with Ludwig calling out Gilbert's name. The place reeked of dampness and dead earth. Feliciano was certain he stepped in something that was not dirt; he would have to throw away these new boots. Despite all he has seen, he was still afraid. He wasn't the leader of the cowards for nothing, he guessed. He wished Ludwig would speak to him but the man said not a word.
"Gilbert?" Ludwig called again.
"Ludwig!" Gilbert's distant voice echoed in the dark. "I'm here!"
Ludwig hurried in the direction of the voice with Feliciano and the dogs right behind him. He used their bond to quicken the search process and happened upon an old wooden door. Ludwig checked it first before looking behind to see if Feliciano was still there. He was. "Are you ready for this?" Ludwig asked his lover.
"I have to get used to seeing horrible things, don't I?" Feliciano gave an uneasy smile. "It's just Gilbert, right?"
Ludwig nodded and opened the door, holding up his hand to keep Feliciano from entering. He wanted to check that everything was clear first. But Feliciano was quickly forgotten as he saw his brother lying naked on the floor in the center of the room, his wings chained and his eyes slit open. "Gilbert!"
"Ludwig? Where are you? I can't see you!" Gilbert rolled around the floor as far as he could in the direction of Ludwig's voice.
"I am here, brother." Ludwig ran to him and gripped his wrist. "I'm right here…and I come bearing your hands."
Gilbert let out a pained chuckle. "You're not alone though. Who's with you? Is it Ivan?"
"No. Feliciano is here with me, and my dogs. Ivan is outside destroying your kidnappers."
Gilbert's body loosened and he gave a small smile. "My Ivan…and my little brother…always end up having to save my broken ass."
Ludwig knelt down beside him. "Hush now. You know I hate when you say such foolish things."
Feliciano watched the brotherly love displayed before him and it reminded him of Romano. Although the spirit of his brother was inside him, he still missed having that special connection. Ludwig and Gilbert were not twins, but they were still very close as brothers. Feliciano put a hand to his heart, glancing down for a moment in silent requiem for his lost brother. Would he ever feel that sibling bond again? Could he find it in Gilbert, maybe? If, by some odd chance, he were to marry Ludwig, then that would make Gilbert his brother-in-law. Not the same as a twin, but it would be better than having nothing at all.
"Ludwig?" Feliciano spoke the others name as the demon was taking out stitching thread. "Can I help you at all?"
Ludwig nodded. "Yes. Could you comfort Gilbert while I take to stitching him back up?"
Feliciano walked over to them and sat behind Gilbert, placing the pale head in his lap. It was unnerving to look at Gilbert's gaping red eye sockets vacant of eyeballs. There were only veins. Yet he never noticed just how albino Gilbert really was. Now that the lids were wide open, Feliciano could see the snow white lashes. He figured Gilbert must have been quite a sight at the time…when he was whole.
"Hey, Feli?" Gilbert spoke. "Don't…move your hands from my shoulders."
"Alright." He answered.
"No, I mean it. Your touch is…it's nice. It's peaceful." Ludwig threaded the needle. "Makes this more bearable." Ludwig pinched one of Gilbert's eyes shut. "Your touch is nice."
Feliciano had to look away when the hooked needle pierced through top and bottom lid. "I won't move. I promise." He could hear Gilbert's hiss of pain and felt the muscles tightening. "It'll be over soon, okay? Then we'll all go home and eat."
Gilbert chuckled. "Sounds like a plan."
"Don't move." Ludwig scolded. "This is very delicate work."
Gilbert tried to not show his pain, but when it came to stitching up his eyes it was really hard to contain. Feliciano's energy and life force was helping to calm him. The first eye was done and now he could see. The insides still ached from being exposed to so much air. Ludwig stitched up the second and Gilbert let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's do your hands." Ludwig opened his coat and took out a bag that contained Gilbert's parts. He stitched on the right hand. "You are doing well, brother."
Gilbert gave a weak chuckle and looked at Feli. "This place is sucks ass, kid." Feliciano laughed.
Ludwig finished up with each piece, making sure the stitches were strong and tight. It would be a little while before Gilbert could properly use his hands and feet. There came a series of heavy footsteps nearing them, which made Ludwig draw his sword, ready to defend. Feliciano pulled Gilbert closer to him on his lap, wrapping his arms around the demons chest as if to shield him. The dogs were growling and stood beside their master. It was only Ivan that appeared, covered in blood from top to bottom. His face was smeared and his hands were stained. Ludwig lowered his sword.
"Is it done?" Ludwig asked.
"Yes. Where's-" Ivan stopped when he saw Gilbert, now stitched back, reaching out for him. "Gilbie!"
"Ivan!" Gilbert let himself be lifted into strong arms and cradled delicately. "I knew you would come for me!"
Ivan nuzzled the white hair and even licked Gilbert's face. "I killed them all. They suffered terribly for what they did to you."
Feliciano smiled at them before moving over to Ludwig and holding his arm. This was his new way to hold his larger lover. Just hugging the strong arm to him made his lower belly tickle. He was thrilled that, once again, Ludwig did not push him away.
"Ivan, did you leave one alive?" Ludwig asked.
"I did. I sent him back to his world with one eye, one foot, and one hand." He grinned, showing his bloody teeth with traces of flesh stuck between. "Angels are very tasty."
Feliciano stuck out his tongue at the thought of eating anything slightly human. He had never seen Ludwig eat humans, so maybe it was only Ivan?
"So what happened to the angel? He made it back through the fissure?" Ludwig wanted to confirm.
"Yes. I'm sure the Light World will be pleased to see a broken and maimed angel." He smiled at Gilbert and gave him a kiss. "Let's get you to my castle so you can rest and I can care personally for you."
Gilbert grinned. "Spoil me?"
"Until you burst!" Ivan rubbed his nose at Gilbert's as he started to carry him out.
"I think Gilbert should stay with me for a bit." Said Ludwig. "Until he is feeling better."
It was Gilbert who answered him. "I want to go with Ivan though. I'll be okay, Luddy! You came to my rescue so you've done more than enough!" He blew Ludwig a kiss.
Ludwig frowned as he watched them exit the room. He felt Feli tugging gently on his arm and he looked down at the young demon.
Amber eyes gazed up longingly at him. "I know why you're sad. You're sad that Gilbert wants Ivan to take care of him and not you." Ludwig was stone faced. Feliciano smiled sweetly. "Well, if it makes you feel any better," He rests his cheek to Ludwig's arm. "I need you. Will you come to my castle? OH-!" Ludwig lifted him up, cradling his rump under one arm- the arm he was hugging. Feliciano had to steady himself by placing his hands on Ludwig's shoulders. It was his turn to look down at the demon. He placed a gentle kiss to Ludwig's forehead. "I know I'm not very brave or strong…and I can't do much but have spirits fight for me and run away…but…this is why I need you to protect me. I still need you, Ludwig, and I hope you have a need for me?"
"You helped with Gilbert today by giving him comfort from his pain. That was very helpful, and I thank you for it." Ludwig gave a little smile then. "I will come to your castle." Feliciano grinned and kicked his feet excitedly. "Now let's go catch up with Ivan and Gilbert."
They met the other two just as they were exiting. The dogs pranced proudly around them, tails wagging and barking. The only one who wasn't feeling good was Ivan. His stomach was reacting badly to the angel pieces he digested. Gilbert was already asleep against him, exhausted from his ordeal. Ivan burped a little, catching Ludwig's attention.
"Are you alright?"
"Fine." Ivan answered, shooing Viper away who was suddenly very interested in smelling his boots. His stomach grumbled a bit; that angel was really doing a number on him. He thought he would throw up but instead passed gas. He instantly felt better, but to save face, he glared at the dog. "Viper, shame on you!"
Viper gave a whimper and lifted his ears, unable to understand what he was being scolded for.
Feliciano's Castle
Nighttime had fallen in the Abyss, and after the long day Ludwig retreated with Feliciano to the white castle. Ludwig was enjoying this special treatment given to him by his lover. Feliciano insisted they be naked while lounging in one of the many 'siesta' rooms. All of the castle seemed to hold no other purpose other than to relax and sleep in. Right now that was okay. They lay together on a large heart shaped bed (Ludwig had ceased trying to figure out Feliciano's style and thought process when it came to decorating) with Ludwig's head resting peacefully in Feli's lap. He could only lay his head in the center of the other's lap or else his horns would be in the way. Ludwig opened his mouth to allow another Blood Grape to be dropped in by delicate fingers. If Feliciano wanted to treat him like a king then he wasn't going to complain. He felt a feather tickle his face; unable to resist the softens he leaned into the white, nuzzling. The only other feathers he had felt like this were Sadiq's and Alfred's, only theirs were not as soft. Feliciano's feathers were like downy pillows.
"Ludwig, can I say something?"
"Yes."
"I'm very proud of you today. You didn't do anything crazy…not like Ivan."
Ludwig was still nuzzling the feathers. "Ivan is that type of demon. Believe me, his actions will likely scare the Light World out of trying to get a piece of ours. You heard Gilbert on the way back- the angels said they are bored and want to start trouble. Ivan's message will be a fair warning to them."
Feliciano dropped another grape into Ludwig's mouth. "So when do we take over the human world?"
"We wait for word from Arthur and the Dark One. They will tell us how to proceed." Still, one thing bothered him and that was the appearance of Sadiq's new 'demon' friend. Ludwig's suspicion was that the demon was Sadiq's old lover, the one who cursed him to this life. If that were true, then Sadiq may be under some sort of spell, like he was back in the Pine Barrens. He would have to know more about that cat demon, but Sadiq would catch on to him, so it would have to be someone else. "Feli?"
"Hm?"
"I need you to do something for me."
"What is it?"
"I want you to go to Sadiq's palace and ask to play with the cats there."
Feliciano tilted his head. "Play with the cats? Why?"
"That demon who was with Sadiq…I am suspicious of him. I want you to try and befriend him, see what he has to say. Try to find out why he is here. I believe it is Sadiq's old lover from the past."
Feli's eyes widened. "The one who cursed him?" Ludwig nodded. "But…that scares me! What if he gets angry at me?"
Ludwig rolled his eyes. "Antonio will protect you. Please, do this for me? Sadiq will throw me out, but you, he won't mind if it is you."
'Be brave for Ludwig!' He sighed. "Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."
Ludwig used his tail to lift the smaller demon up and place him on his lap. With the mix of Feliciano's smell, blood, and sex had his demon instincts kicking in to mate once more. He was concerned that Feli would still be sore from before, which would hinder this round of love making. Instead, Feliciano flushed softly while taking his cock in a small fist, slowly stroking it. Ludwig closed his eyes with a low groan; Feliciano's hands were like silk, smooth and soft. The smaller demon quickly became aroused as well, his blood pumping with demon pheromones that threatened to overload the senses. Ludwig couldn't stand being outside that slim body any longer. Taking control, he stretched the still tight and slightly swollen hole with his fingers. Once his angelic demon was flushed and panting in wanton heat, he coated himself and thrust inside. Feliciano's response was much more animated this time with the delicate features twisted and contorting with each inch stretching him whole. There was never a moment of pain on those blushing features, only pleasure. He bent the other at the waist to pistol his thrusts just right, slamming in and down hard on that special spot that had Feliciano crying in delight. Small demon claws dug into the flesh of his shoulders; double fangs bit and nipped at available flesh, narrow hips tried to meet solid thrusts. Feliciano's body was just too much to bear so Ludwig allowed himself to finish quickly, emptying his seed deep inside. The other moaned softly, tightening the muscles as if to suck him all the way in. Ludwig kissed those panting lips, crushing his mouth and biting at the other's tongue.
"Was this easier for you?"
Feliciano nodded. "Yes, it didn't hurt as much." He whined when Ludwig pulled out. "No, stay in longer!"
Ludwig heard himself chuckle. "Are you saying you want to go again?"
"Yes, and I want to try this way." He sat up, turned around, and pressed his back against Ludwig's chest. Positioning himself above the still hard erection he sank down slowly, savoring each delicious inch of Ludwig's burning girth. Something that had frightened him at first was now his greatest turn on; that burning heat only adding to the sensation. He let out a shrill cry when Ludwig thrust his hips up, stabbing his prostate. His body shuddered, urging his lips to find his lovers and connect them. Tongues dueled while thrusts were met. Feliciano felt his stomach becoming taunt as he felt his orgasm nearing. He had to straddle Ludwig's thighs with his own, stretching his knees to plant them firmly on the bed while the hard cock struck right and true. Feliciano turned away from Ludwig's kisses only to concentrate on his own climax. It was building up in his lower belly, threatening to explode. One of Ludwig's hands moved from his hips to press hard against his lower belly, and with another hard thrust, Feliciano voiced his orgasm. He felt Ludwig cum inside again, mixing with the first round and leaking out around the softening member. Feliciano fell forward, catching himself on his palms. He mewled when Ludwig pulled out of him.
"Ow!" Feliciano shrieked when a feather was plucked from his wing. "What was that for?"
Ludwig smirked and ran the feather over the stickiness of Feliciano's cum. "I want a token of your body when I'm not near you. This will do nicely." Ludwig's eyes widened and he contained a yelp when one of Feliciano's tails, the tip, whipped him hard on his ass. Looking down at the smaller demon, he saw the playful look on Feli's face. He couldn't be angry. "Thanks for the gift."
"You earned it."
The next day, Feliciano went over to Sadiq's castle just as Ludwig had instructed. Like before, Sadiq's castle was full of sexy demons and orgies. He found to be pushing away multiple female demons as he sought out the 'Voluptuous One'. Aladdin's palace was more of an exuberant sex place somewhere in Las Vegas- or so he assumed; he had never been there. And the smells were all incense and herbs. Some made him feel dizzy, others gave him a headache, and one or two gave him a small erection. Those were the most embarrassing. He only wished he could find someone to help him that wasn't begging for sex. He had never seen so many naked women before.
"Can I help you?"
Feliciano turned to see the demon in question looking at him, surrounded by cats. "It's Heracles, right?" He nodded. "I…um…wanted to introduce myself properly." Feliciano held out his hand. "I'm Feliciano Vargas; you can call me Feli too."
Heracles slowly reached out his hand to shake the others. "Ludwig did not accept my gift of a cat."
"Yeah well…he and Ivan had other plans."
"I hope the missing duke has been found?"
"Oh yes! We found him and he is healing right now." Feliciano smiled. "So…um…Ludwig says that you are new demon?"
Heracles shifted his eyes for a moment. "Kind of. I have…been away for awhile."
"Well, I'm new here too so I thought, maybe, we could be friends?"
"Friends?" The cat ears twitched. "I suppose. Come to my room and meet my cats."
Feliciano looked at the ones surrounding him. "There are more?"
"Yes. Come." Heracles led him to the room, which was huge and full of cats.
He couldn't help but ask, "Where do they go to the bathroom?"
"They don't. They don't eat or drink. They are spirit cats…like me." He let his green eyes turn cat-like. "I am part cat. A 'werecat', as some like to call me."
"Werecat? Is that like a werewolf?"
"It's a little different." Heracles walked to a fainting couch and laid upon it, welcoming the cats that swarmed him. "Are you really here to make friends?"
Feliciano nodded. "I am. I figure as new demons in this world we could help each other out. You see, back in my world I never really had a lot of friends. With this new life, I'm trying to change things up. And I love cats." He picked up one to nuzzle it, and it mewed happily.
"If you like cats then I like you."
"So how do you know Sadiq?"
Heracles frowned. "I'm his old lover."
Feliciano tried to act surprised. "Oh. Oh, I see."
"I've changed, though. Centuries trapped inside a stone cat statue gives you a lot of time to think. I did wish for Sadiq's death back then. I cursed him, bled a lamb, and Zeus answered my call. His people got revenge by slaughtering all my cats and then killing me."
"That's…so sad." Feliciano stroked one of the cats now present in his lap. "Was Sadiq mean to you?"
Heracles shook his head. "No. In fact, he gave me anything and everything I wanted. I just didn't like him. I hated him."
"But you love him now?"
"Love is a very strong term. I like him more than I ever did. If feelings develop, then they develop. If not, then who cares. The sex is still good, though." Feliciano blushed. "Why haven't you taken to the harem here?"
"I don't believe in all that kind of free love." He blushed harder.
Heracles narrowed his eyes. "Have you been with a woman? A man?"
"A man…but never a woman. I mean, I like women and girls…but I never got very far with them."
Heracles shook his head. "We'll work that. As friends."
Feliciano stayed with Heracles until the afternoon but found out nothing even remotely suspicious. The werecat had fallen asleep at least four times while talking. And those cats! With the wings they must be like angel cats due to their violent deaths. He wanted to bring this information back to Ludwig but there was nothing of grave importance to report, and he was very tired. Deciding to retreat back to his castle, he had dinner and drank some wine before retiring to bed. It was hard for him to fall asleep and he didn't know why. It was just one of those restless nights where you toss and turn, never finding a comfortable spot. He didn't know when he fell asleep but he will wish that he hadn't.
Something wasn't right. He was in a strange place that made him feel empty and cold. There was darkness for as far as he could see, an endless darkness with no light to be seen. There was only him and no one else. That frightened him. He tried to call for Antonio but the spirit seemed to be missing. 'Hello?' He called to the darkness but only silence answered him. Without knowing what else to do, he started to walk.
But the darkness was not to last for beneath his feet it began to run with bright red blood. The blood didn't bother him and he strolled through it. He must be getting closer to something. Suddenly he was surrounded by white orbs containing shadowed images; images of his friends.
The first he saw was Alfred, bound and chained while trying to defend himself from wild, monstrous beasts. The beasts tore at his limbs and flesh while he screamed in agony. The next was Ivan, who, like Alfred was bound in chains and fighting, only his image was accompanied by cheering. There was the sound of a cracking whip and something like that of a chainsaw. He turned away to see a forest of spears, each one piercing the flesh of Sadiq who squirmed on the poles, still alive. Sadiq's body was laying across the points, his limbs twitching in shock. Feliciano recognized Arthur's form as it screamed in outrage and pain while standing over a pile of what looked to be rocks. He could feel Arthur's heartbreak and sorrow. Did Francis crumble? He then heard a gently wailing behind him- a voice that sounded like Matthew pleading with dark forms to 'stop'. If all these demons were here, then where was Ludwig?
'Ludwig?' He called in the dark, feeling guilty that he cared for one a little more over the others. 'Ludwig?' His calling made an image appear of a vast open green field and overcast sky. Feliciano stepped into it, finding that the earth turned black whenever he made a step. Where was he? What was this place? And then he saw the Romans, a group of them, surrounding a white struggling form. Feliciano could see now that it was Gilbert, his arms being held down while the last leg was sawed clean off. The Romans took to raping him then while tossing both the severed legs towards another form, which was Ludwig.
Frightened for his lover, Feliciano ran towards him but the image of Ludwig kept moving further away. All he could do was watch as Gilbert's arms followed his legs, and Ludwig collecting them. He stopped to see what Ludwig would do while cradling Gilbert's bleeding limbs in his arms, surrounded by Roman swords. Ludwig even looked different- his hair was a longer blonde, messy, with leather beads and a few tiny braids. Feliciano watched Ludwig drag Gilbert's stiff hand along his cheek, and then, to his dismay, took a bite out of the bloodied flesh. Feliciano felt like he was going to be sick. Ludwig looked crazed, like he was not seeing or understanding what he was doing. The Romans grew fearful and angry, tearing Ludwig away from the limbs. Ludwig screamed and shouted in protest while desperately trying to grab at the limbs. Feliciano followed the Roman's dragging his lover's past life form across the ground to a pyre they had built. With his hands to his mouth in terror and utter horror, he watched them tie Ludwig upside down on the pyre to meet the flames face first. Ludwig screamed and thrashed as the flames consumed him entirely.
Feliciano covered his ears and fell to the ground, but the only noise he could hear was the rattling of chains and moans of pain. His soul and heart was filled with sorrow, pain, suffering, and hopelessness. It was painful. His heart felt like it would explode. There was so much pain and suffering around him. Why was he seeing these images? What did they mean? Why was his chest tightening and making it harder to breathe? Where the hell was he? He wanted to leave- to escape this awful place, whatever it was. He opened his eyes only to see a large burnt form before him, the body still smoking and alight with tiny orange embers. He screamed.
And that's when he woke up in his bed. Panting and sweating, he looked all around to see if he was out of that place. His eyes settled on a ghostly form beside him, it was Antonio.
'Bad dream?'
"Antonio…it was horrible! I…I saw…I saw my friends, and Ludwig! They were…they were being killed, and tortured, and raped, and-"
'I know. I saw. Remember, I am a part of you.'
Feliciano gulped and wiped some sweat from his brow. "Oh my God, what was that? What did I see?" He gasped. "It's a bad omen! Antonio, I know something terrible is going to happen!" his eyes swelled with tears. "Something is going to happen to all of us!"
'Shh…now calm down. This is a bad omen…but we will find a way to combat it.'
"I have to tell the others!"
'They won't believe you.' Feliciano's eyes widened slowly. 'They have too much pride and ego…they will not listen to your visions or take you seriously. After all, you are the Duke of Cowards.'
Feliciano held his chest, feeling his heart beating wildly. "I felt such terrible things…terrible!" Feliciano glanced out one of his windows in the direction of Ludwig's castle.
'There won't be peace here for long. Something is coming.' Feliciano turned back to look at him. 'No one is safe.'
