Vladimir's POV

I had been joking when I said I would have both his blood and his ass but when Kai licked my fingers, I was dumbfounded. Yes I had been noticing his body a lot these past days but how could I not when we were stuck in this house alone. I said it hoping I'd scare him away but Kai even kissed me and it was good, he was good.

He pulled away and raised a brow at me and I blushed. I tried to look away in embarrassment but Kai held my jaw and made me look down at him. He licked his lips and I followed the sinful act shamelessly. I wanted to kiss him but I really didn't want to cross any boundary. He however looked at me impatiently and I was lost on what he was expecting of me.

"Hey, old man, will you kiss me or what?" Kai taunted and I glared at him.

The red in my vision intensified and I got startled by it as I tried to pull away but Kai latched on me. I wanted to protest verbally but his lips crashed on me for the second time and this time I returned the action. Kai moaned in appreciation when I started kissing back. I bit his lips and the small amount of blood that came out excited me greatly.

I threw all caution to the wind as the hunger in me reared its head and focused on the source of blood before us. It didn't help that I had not been intimate with anyone for a long time and so my urges were just as intense as my need for blood.

"Don't be all soft on me, Vlad." Kai spoke up as he trailed kisses from my lips and down my chest. "I can take rough play; we are not making love but rather fucking."

His words stunned me for a second but then I was on the move. We kissed and I drank, we touched and I drank, we moved against each other and I drank, I drank all his release then I bit his thigh and drank, I released on his face and then I drank from his neck, I used my three of my fingers and he moaned for more then I bit his wrist.

We went on and on until we were exhausted and lied on the bed. Kai went to sleep right away and I stayed awake and reminisced of our actions. We didn't have sex no matter how much I wanted to because I still wasn't sure of how old Kai was. I didn't want to make a mistake seeing there were no condoms in the house so every action would cost us greatly.

I looked at a sleeping Kai and wondered what all this meant. Did he like me more than just a friend or was this supposed to be friends with benefit kind of action? I sighed and looked away from him. For how long would we be stuck in this house and what was the purpose of being locked in here? Sleep began creeping up on me and all my thoughts scattered about and I gave in to slumber.

(Dream)

I know this smell.

My eyes are closed, I can't use them to confirm my surroundings but I am sure I know where I am. It smells familiar, just like it did all those years. I am certain that if I open my eyes, I'll see what I saw all those years.

Darkness.

It was so dark in here; even my demon eyes couldn't see a thing. There was no different if I had them open or closed. I couldn't open them though, I hated what I saw. The darkness that covered my sight when I closed my eyes was different from the sight when I had my eyes closed.

Father couldn't understand when I told him though.

Father!

Does this mean he will come again? Like he did those years ago?

Father came for me when no one else did. He saved me when everyone ran from me. He called me his son when everyone called me a demon. He taught me what no one else saw the need to do so. He was my father...........and I was his son.

"Vladimir!"

I can even hear his voice now. I smile, feeling better for the first time in forever.

"Vladimir, open your eyes."

My eyes; but why? Father knows I hate the dark so why would he tell me to open them.

"Vladimir, son, it's okay."

The voice, my father's voice, is so alluring and so comforting that I find myself opening my eyes and what I see is opposite of what I expected.

Instead of darkness ............... there is light.

Instead of the people that loathed me.........there is my dad that loved me.

And two strangers.

"Dad!"

I throw my body at him and he catches me with a chuckle as he assures me that I am alright.

"Dad!"

"Son, I'm here."

"Dad, but how? Is this a dream? Please, I don't want to wake up!"

"Son, you are not helping." Father stands me up but still holds my hand with a hard grip. "This is your dream yes, which we have to talk about as to why you still think of here when I'm home, but son, I am real."

"But how?"

"She is a dream walker and that's Daniel, she's his aunt." Father points to the strangers, a woman and a man. "But that's beside the point. What happened to you? Where are you? Elmer had a nosebleed and when I communicated with Ronald, apparently you've been missing for some time now."

Knowing my father, he doesn't like beating around the bush, so I tell him about 'the sun', about Kai but I don't disclose that I've been giving Kai my blood. I tell him about the woman and I describe her as much as I can for him to get a good picture since she seemed to know him well.

"I have no idea who she is or what she wants-"

"We have to go, Evan. The-." Daniel begins to approach us but stops at my father's snappy voice.

"Do not fucking mention that!" He hisses at Daniel before turning to me. "Where are you?"

"I don't know."

"Okay, I'll see what to do and-" dad falls, choking out blood and I kneel beside him. "I'm fine-"

"No you are not. Stop being stubborn and get back with me. The guys must have found it already." Daniel helps my father on his feet and I don't know what to do. It's strange seeing my dad being so familiar with a stranger.

This time, he does not snap at Daniel but rather seem to lean on him. "Vlad, I'll send someone to get you no matter where you are. Be ready, be safe. Don't do what I wouldn't do."

He vanishes from my dream with the strangers, and the only thought that runs through my mind is how I've already done what he wouldn't do.

***

I woke up with a splitting headache that night and fortunately for me, I had a friend to nurse me back to health. Or so he said.

I didn't know what he was to me, let alone what I was to him so I guess to say we were friends was just a safe way to go about things. At the moment, I was fine being just friends with him.

Kai was not a predictable person hence why I had to go about this whole thing in his pace. I didn't want to assume of things of what they weren't. A while back, I was sure he hated the sight of me but now I wasn't sure what to make of it. Maybe this was just a current thing and once we are out of here, he will be over me.

"So, should we be ready? Or was it just a dream?"

I turned sideways, looking at Kai. He was curled up on the other side of the couch. He had on some bum shorts and a huge T-shirt that covered a huge part of his legs than what the bum short did. Apparently, there were female clothes in his closet and the other closets had huge male clothes that he couldn't wear. If I were to be honest, he rocked the female clothes better than any female I've seen.

"We should be ready. Anytime, any moment, someone will be coming for us."

"Oh good! I miss my parents. I can't imagine how my mother has been handling my emotional mum. I want to ease their worries." Kai smiled sadly and I had the urge to hold him but I knew my limits.

"Don't worry; you will be with them soon."

"I hope so."

I kept gazing at Kai who looked like he was lost in his head probably thinking about his parents. It had been a week, of my estimation of time, since I drank on Kai and I've never had red eyes since. Kai hadn't asked for any blood either which made me wonder why he wasn't asking for it.

"Are you hungry?" I voiced my thoughts.

"What?" Kai asked but I didn't reply as I stared at him instead. I knew he had heard me so I had no intentions of saying it twice. Kai looked away from my gaze and shook his head.

"Are you sure?" I inquired and Kai raised a brow.

"Why are you insisting on it? I said I am not hungry and you keep insisting."

"I was just wondering." I replied and Kai rolled his eyes and focused on the movie we were watching.

I kept looking at him though and I knew he knew I was looking at him as he fidgeted on the couch. He was looking more attractive as each day passed by and I really wanted to have my way with him. He had wanted me to so I deduced he would let me if I initiated it. But before I did anything else, I had to get an answer.

"How old are you?" I asked and Kai frowned.

"This again? Why?"

"I want to be careful in case we decide to get intimate again."

"Who said we would be?" Kai smirked at me and I was taken aback.

I looked away from him as I felt embarrassed at assuming he would want us to do whatever we did a week ago again. I focused on the movie absentmindedly as I let the conversation I began die down. Unfortunately, Kai wasn't done yet as he began clearing his throats simultaneously until I looked at him with a glare.

"What?" I asked.

"I had been wondering why you didn't want to go further last time. Was my age a reason?"

I shrugged in reply and Kai sighed.

"I am not yet there if that's what you are wondering. I won't get pregnant if we would go further or else I wouldn't have suggested it." Kai said with a blush painted on his pale face. I nodded and once again the conversation died down.

"Tell me about yourself." Once again, Kai broke the silence and I sighed.

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything."

I looked at Kai carefully and he was looking at me expectantly. I couldn't tell him everything but I could tell him something. I rummaged my brain, trying to come up with anything when my family came in mind. Knowing my brothers, they were searching for me since Dad was currently away. They would be worried and blindingly searching for me. I wanted to go home and ease their worries but I had to get out of here first.

"What do you know about me?" I asked Kai instead as I cleared my thoughts.

"Well, I know you are a jerk." Kai started and I smirked.

This was going to be an interesting conversation.
