12"So . . . happened to you guys last night. Hex wasn't in his room this morning and I heard some rather questionable noises coming from Tens room." Asked Kirlania at lunch with a raised eyebrow. We looked at each other and Ten smiled a bit nervously.
"We should tell them, they have every right to know. If you don't want to I'll understand, but they'll find eventually and tha-" I silenced him with a gentle kiss on the lips.
"I think they get the point, Muffin."
"Oh, you guys make the cutest couple. Im so happy for you! Wow. This is so kawii!" Tara cried, bouncing in her seat excitedly.
"Congratulations." Bren said smiling and me. Everyone nodded his or her agreement. I pulled Ten into my lap and kissed the pulse point just behind his ear,
"See, they don't hate you. They love you all the more." I whispered in his ear. "I love you. You have no idea how much I love you. Sometimes it almost hurts." I felt the skin under my lips warm as he blushed. He turned in my arm and kissed me gently.
"Love you too." He muttered against my lips.
~~~~End flashback~~~~~
That had been 6 months ago. The dreams had started about 2 months afterward. I knew they weren't something my mind had made up because I had some just like them when I was younger. That was also how I'd figured out I was gay. I hadn't told Ten yet cause I didn't want him to worry about me. But I felt it was time, cause something was coming. Something big and very very very bad was coming. I didn't know what it was, but I knew it had something to do with my dreams and that it was after Ten. I also knew tat I couldn't live without him now. I looked down at him as he snuggled deeper into my arms. I had to tell him tomorrow. It was unfair of me to keep this from him. I sighed quietly and drifted off to sleep, unconsciously pulling him closer.
~~Next day~~
I woke with an uneasy feeling and the bed next to me rather cool and empty. I sat up, remembering the contents of my dream as f I'd been there myself. I looked sharply around there room, searching for any signs that Ten was there. I found none. I looked over at his pillow and saw a note sitting innocently taunting me. My heart stopped and my blood ran cold. I knew that note hadn't been left be Ten. If it had been there would have small flowers doodled all over it and it would have been carelessly stuck to my forehead.
I reached over, my hand shaking. I pulled the note off and read over it, my eyes widening with every line.
The note:
~I have your little boy toy, Nikolias. He's rather fun to play with and I can understand why you'd choose him. He's to innocent for his own good. I'd teach him myself but Lord Adiloni said he wants both of you intact. Pity. Any way, you're most likely wondering why I took Alex. Mortality has done a number on your brain, hasn't it? I bet you don't even remember what its like to be a Delliar. Hm. The reason you're read this is so you can find out where you're going to meet us, alone so you can get little Alex back. Ok? Be at the Laen Lamore building in Old York tomorrow at noon. If you aren't there, well, little Alex wont see the light of day again. Good day. ~
Inside was a picture of Ten. He was tied up, his eyes full of terror. Someone was leaning over him, sucking on his neck, a small dagger held up to his throat. I crumpled up the picture and threw it in the trash. I knew this is what Id been dreaming about for months. I knew I wasn't going to make it out of this. I knew that as long as Ten made it, I wouldn't care.
~~
Wow, that went different then I thought it would.
