Fallen Chapter 4.

I know, I know.... It's been forever since I have updated but I got struck by inspiration. Please enjoy this chapter. Like always this is unedited.

“Hey Chaser!”

 I froze in my seat. That husky whispered voice could only belong to one person, my boyfriend. Hearing his voice was liked a shot of adrenaline straight to my heart. It began to beat rapidly and my body reacted by shaking uncontrollably. With my hands shaking, I waved him down from across the room to the empty seat across from me.

“Well. To what do I owe this honor?” I joked because I was nervous, but really why was I here in this place. Looking around my surroundings I was appalled to say the least. Old dirty road signs and license plates littered every surface of the walls. Peanut shells on the floors and a heavy smoke smell hung in the air. This was a bar, a man’s bar.

Keagan he just cocked his right eyebrow at me in a mocking way. Man was he handsome; he has such an angelic face, strong features and baby soft skin, which my body was begging to touch.

“I felt like slumming.” His tone matter of fact.

I guess my face betrayed me, because he instantly back peddled…”No baby not you, this place here.” He reached his hands across the table and took mine into his bringing them to his mouth and kissing my knuckles. It was like my whole body was filled with electricity.

“I wondered, this place just doesn’t seem like… you.”

“I am eccentric I’ll have you know”

“I know that but this is a biker bar, K.”

“So…They have great wings.”

“UH HMMM….and this has nothing to do with the bleach bottle blondes in extremely deep v  white t-shirts and short booty shorts that could easily double as undies?”

“Uh, NO! I’m a man not a pig Chase. Besides, I told you that I am with you now. No one means more to me then you do.”

A slight blush creped over my skin, damn this curse of being a fair skinned ginger!!

“Why are we REALLY here?”

Keagan sighed heavily. “Fine since you are in such a hurry I wanted you to meet a friend of mine.”

He moved to put his first to fingers in his mouth like a whistle, but at first no sound came out. Then like a firecracker pain racked my ears and brain as an extremely hi pitched whirling whistle came busting from his lips. My eyes went black with small bright spots blinking in and out of my vision. I covered my ears with my hands as tight as I could to at least buffer some of the sound. With this much sound someone else was bound to hear it but as I focused all my energy to look around no one even seemed bother in the slightest. As quickly as the sound started it stopped, but my body was still humming from the shock.

When I looked back up at Keagan a beautiful Amazon of a women, no maybe she was a heroin or Villianess, stood next to him with a slightly bored expression in her face. She was striking, warm olive skin, semi oval eyes, brown as fresh dirt in the summer rain and a toned physique that any man would be jealous of. She was built to destroy men and break their spirits not only with her face and body, but with her fists as well.  When she looked at me I felt like spilling my guts and begging her to pet me as I curled around her feet, so I looked back down at the floor.

“Chase, this is Aeron. Aeron this is my boy Chase.”

“Ohhh… Your boy.” She laughed slightly. “ Haven’t we learned our lesson once before Raziel? However it is nice to meet you Chase.”

“What did you call him?”  A quick look of panic crossed both their faces, Brief but it was there.

“Sorry that’s a stupid nickname I call him to irritate him. You see, Raziel is said to be one of THE FIRST angels in the Heavens, he is said to have been gifted all the knowledge of the universe. But, when he tried to teach his knowledge to the humans on earth they used it to build weapons instead of learning and growing beyond the need for such savage and petty things. Shamed and bewildered he ascended back to the heavens to sulk and lick his wounds. To me he was a coward so that’s why I call Keagan, Raziel, because he is a coward.

Either I missed something or these two had a history, long old history, because they were locked in a death stair.

“UGMGHMRPH.” I cleared my throat. “I see, well anyways, why am I meeting you?”

“Fiesty little demon child…” 

“Don’t call him that!” Keagan cut her off.

“Like I was saying, I like him, he smells good.” She winked at me and I instantly felt like I needed a hot shower.

“Hands off, That’s mine!!” Keagans voice took on a low deep commanding tone.

“Relax coward, I’m only playing, turn down the hormones.”

“I’ll only say this ONCE, treat him kind or I’ll show you what the name Raziel truly means.”

I saw power in those words, not like figuratively, but for real, like ripples on the mirrored surface of water. I was struck speechless and scared speechless. The man I have known and loved for 17 years was strong, powerful, scary and simply gorgeous. I was turned on beyond measure.

Both Keagan and Aeron sniffed the air in unison and looked dead pan at me.

Aeron’s Lip curled up a little and her face looked like she was going to vomit “gross”.

“OH YEA! Now that’s what I’m talking ‘bout.” This was accompanied by a smug smirk, as he leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Chase, be a dear and tame your hormones before Kea mounts you on this table.”

“You know what Aeron, I’ve had enough of your attitude. I’ve done nothing wrong to you, I don’t even fricken know you and you’ve already insulted me and my mate, besides all that your just plain awful.” I was mad now, I could feel the heat rolling off my body as waves of anger seemed to take me away to a very dark place. My muscles felt like they were doubling in size and bursting from my skin. The spot on my back where my shoulder blades touched the skin suddenly burst with immense pain like my bones where trying to escape my body. Even my eyes felt like flames were rolling across my corneas because I was seeing red. I had a feeling if I could look in a mirror I would not recognize myself, that I must look like a nightmare.

“Chase, calm down.” A cool firm hand was laced on my forarm. Rage consumed my thinking.

“I will Destroy her.” My voice came out a ragged deep scratchy tone.

“Chase.” That Familiar voice started again, but this time it was a whisper in my ear. “Remember this.” A kiss to my neck, MMMM That felt good. Another one to my temple, Mmm even better. Then one to the corner of my mouth, What was I doing again? Then I was grabbed into a hug for a deep wet sloppy kiss by the man who knew exactly what it was that I needed in that moment.

“Was that enough for you to help me now Aeron?”

“Yes, I’ve seen a lot in my long life, but that.. I…I… I’ve never seen anything like that. I’m lost Raz.

“What is going on you two?” I’m not nuts right they were talking about me?

“Chase, you wanna step outside and cool off while I get our food to go.”

“Uhm okay, but we’re not done here. I want to know what’s going on.” I motioned to the two of them before walking out the door to the early summer air of the beach side town.

**

“He doesn’t know what he is does he Raz? And for that matter what you are?”

“NO! They sent him to live with human parents so he would grow up normal until his 18^th birthday, in two weeks non the less, when he would choose who to belong to.”

“That’s not right…. Or fair to him.”

“You’re right, but that’s why I was sent by “him”  to watch over, but I too fell pray to being “human” and lost my way. Somehow I guess subconsciously I knew because we became best friends. He’s my soul mate Aeron, It’s crazy to think after a millennia I finally found THE ONE. I can feel it deep in my core, like every part of me cries out for him every second of everyday.”
“Ok Raz I’ll help him if you need me, however I can’t offer much more than that. Please leave me out of whatever it is you think is coming. Mark my words someone is going to get hurt by hum, probably A LOT of someone’s. Anyways here’s your food, go teach him what it is he is meant to be.”

“Thanks sis”

“One more thing Raz, please be careful, They’re watching.

“I know.”

Fallen Ch.3

I know it has been Quite some time since I have posted, but in my real world I have taken on a new job where I just don't have time to do as I please. So without further ado here is chapter 3 in unedited form. I believe chapter 4 could be up in a week or so. I have some teasers I will be posting to twitter so make sure you follow me for updates and to harass me to get shit done. I love you all thanks for all the good feedback.

As Chase laid in bed catching his breath, trying his best to grasp what he had seen what he had felt. His mind was going over and over, “Was it real?” He was scared, confused and wishing he had answers. Completely caught up in his own mind he hadn’t even realized the body laying next to him holding on with a death grip.

Keagan had carried Chase up to his bed once he fell asleep on his shoulder. Being careful he placed the smaller male on his back on the comforter atop his bed.  Ever so slightly, he creaped his way out of the room. Just as he was reaching the door Chase moaned loudly in pain. Keagan raced back to his best friend, concern gripping his mind, love forming a knot in his throat. Even though Keagans mind was warning him to run and leave what ever these new feelings were behind, his heart was even louder with the need to stay, to protect, to care for the smaller male crying in pain below him.  So with out a thought more, he slipped into bed and cuddled up to Chase, pulling his form to his as if they were made of one piece. Chases crying calmed and his breathing evened out, Keagan held tight to his friend as he too fell asleep.

Now that Chase had come back to reality he was kind of freaked out. They were close but this, this kind of closeness was new. How was he going to look at his best friend in the eyes again was it ok for a straight guy to cuddle his gay best friend.

“You know what, Fuck it!” Chase said sarcastically in his head, as he slid back into Keagans warm arms laying his head on his shoulder.  Those strong warm arms tightened instinctively to the small male and pulled him in closer, deeper. Chase felt a big smile pull across Keagans face on his forehead.

“Chase, are you ok?” A gravely concerned voice came out.

“I honestly don’t know.” Chase spent the next 10 minutes explaining to Keagan what he had seen and been a part of. Keagan didn’t move to push Chase away or even let the space between them become more than just a breath. When Chase was done with his story Keagan grabbed him by the chin bringing his emerald eyes up to meet his, as he did so Chase felt a large dry lump collect in his throat. He tried frantically to swallow it back done but it just wouldn’t go away.

“Chase, I am not sure if that was a dream or if you really were somewhere else. When I brought you up here you seemed not in control of your own body or for that matter your own mouth. The way you were contorting yourself in the bed and the sounds and moans you were producing were scary, I couldn’t bring myself to leave I felt my heart breaking every step I took further away from you. “

“Please don’t!” Chase exclaimed pushing his palms flat against Keagans chest shoving his best to get away from this man he didn’t seem to know anymore.

“Chase please…” Keagans begging was heartfelt.

“Do you even know what the hell you are doing to me right now, how every touch you give me makes my whole world shake?”  Chase was mad, furry fueled his words anger for years of longing and desire being squashed. “How dare you tell me all this now, now that you are leaving in less than a week. Fuck you Kea!” Chase stood from the bed folding his arms across his chest trying to hold the pieces of his heart from falling out of his chest. Warm salty tears streamed down his face as he continued to pace listening to Keagans’ explanation.

“ Honestly Chase I am out of my element here, I have never felt anything like this for you till today when we were wrestling in the front yard.” Keagan sat up in the bed legs crossed in front of him hands over his face.

“What, what are you talking about? Are you seriously trying to tell me you are in love with me, NOW!”

“No, I just…. I don’t know. I can’t bare to be far away from you, my heart aches when I am even a few feet away. I am straight this shouldn’t be happening.” Keagan was slowly reaching his breaking point of weirdness for one day.

“Kea, please don’t say anything you don’t mean to me, my heart can’t take your rejecting me. He sat down on the bed next to Keagan.

With out warning he locked his lips to Chases and kissed him with such aggression it took Chases breath away and when he opened his mouth to breath Kea slammed his tongue deep into it. Their tongues wrestled and Chase was quickly losing and it was a battle he was fine with surrendering to. After what seemed like forever he pulled off Chase and looked at him through hooded eyes dark with lust.

“Sorry guy, I just had to know what it was like.”

“It…It’s” Chase couldn’t speak. “Ok.” He replied sheepishly “What was I saying, it was more than ok it was perfect. It was everything I wanted, everything I dreamed of every waking hour. I was sure he could feel my steel cock pressing into his leg because I could sure feel his pressing into my stomach.” “Oh fuck he’s hard!” Chase gasped in his head.

“Keagan” He tried to speak again but was met with his mouth once more. This time less aggressive but filled with more passion. He let his tongue trace the outline of Chases lips before locking on and shoving into his mouth suppressing Chases tongue into submission. Chase threw his head back to breath but Kea trailed his tongue down Chases’ jaw and on to his neck where he bite down slightly and Chase shuddered with anticipation and wanton need. He licked back up to his ear sucking the lobe into his mouth and twirling his tongue around it. Chase gasped and tried to suck in air but it wasn’t enough he started to moan and literally came in his underwear at that moment. His own body betrayed him. “Ugh!”

He went limp in Keagans arms. Keagan drew him close and whispered in Chases ear “ I think somewhere deep inside I have always loved you little guy.”

“Wh..What?” Chases mind hadn’t yet returned to him yet. “ Please don’t say things you don’t mean.”  Chase was now over the edge feeling shy for having a hair trigger and now hearing the things he’s always wanted to from the man he has always wanted them coming from too.  

“Chase I can’t promise you anything, I am leaving for school in a week but can we please try this, see where it goes. Can you give me a chance?” 

“Please….. I can’t Kea. No I can not loose you as my best friend if this goes sour.”

“You will never lose me no matter what, you are my little guy, the one I have protected since we were 5 and met in kindergarten. You are my best friend, my comrade and above all else now that one I want to call my own.” Keagans eyes met Chases and in a heart beat he knew those words were true.

“ I am willing to try.” He replied.

“Now, did you get off while we were kissing?” A heated blush crept all across Chases body.

“I…Uh….well…. yea I did.” Chase hid his face from Keagan, he was ashamed.

 “I am not ashamed of what I did, nor should you. Believe me, it was a huge ego boost for me to be able to get you off with just my tongue. I will never forget that.” He kissed him lightly on the tip of his nose before scooting out of chases bed.

Chase sat up sadness in His eyes “Are you leaving?”

“I have to bud it’s like two in the morning.”

“Oh, ok I was just thinking you could stay over and we could just sleep like we did before, this time with me actually aware.” Chase giggled a little.

“No, I am not sure I am ready for your parents to know about us yet. Plus we really should go slow.”

“I understand.” Chase looked down at his bed, twirling the sheets in-between his fingers. Keagan came over and lifted Chase out of the bed, and stood him up in front of the mirror over his dresser.

“Look….. do you see what I see?”

“No. what am I looking for…… OH Kea, How dare you!” Chase snapped His head around only to see Kea brimming with pride rocking back and forth on his heals.

“What? I had to mark my property before I left didn’t I? Can’t have these boys thinking you’re up for grabs.”

“But you’re straight that is not fair for me.”

“I know but I hate the thought of any other guy touching you.”

“Non have before, why would they now?”

“True.”

“HEY! I take offense to that.” Chase punched Keagan in the shoulder as hard as he could, but he didn’t even notice.

“What I meant was. We share a bond that goes beyond best buddies we are the same person and I will always love you little guy and now that we are going to try this ‘Thing’ out I can not afford to lose you now.” Chase turned and gave him a big hug before he left him to his thoughts and that “fucking hickey!”

I was alone again and it sucked. Today was going to be a day of first for me, I could already tell.

 The group of Shadows residing in the tree line of the woods gathered closer together. The largest shadow began to faze back into view, his grey leathery skin almost translucent with age, looked like it would decay at any moment. In one hard full body shake, 12 foot wings of obsidian black feathers ruffled free showing a faint rainbow of color effect across them, like when you look into car oil floating on water in the sun light. His body was covered in a black robe with ancient symbols and scrollwork running down both sides of the deep V over his well muscled chest. Knives of all sizes hung from his belt all the way around. One after one each shadow did the same the rest were much smaller then the first but all were sinister looking and dangerous non the less.

“ Is that the child Auza?” Came a snake like hiss from the smallest of the men.

“Yes Murmur it is, he is the child.” A deep scratchy voices that would send chills down your spine replied. His eyes began to glow electric bright blue. “We are to wait and watch, he is still protected by that….that wretched creature Straddling him.” He reached his arm up with no effort pointing only one sinister long finger out towards Keagan. “Even here more than half a mile away I can feel his power, he is stronger than any one of us combined and we do not stand a chance. Go, go back into the shadows my friends, we wait till the boy comes into his own.” With that the dark men shimmered back into shadows and fanned back out into the wooded area leaving only a wake of darkness briefly.

**

“Did you feel that?” Chase questioned. He was still pinned on the ground below Keagan, his hands firmly held in place above his head while the stronger man continued to tighten his grip till he would gave in and submitted.

“Your distractions wont get you out of this Chase.”

“I’m serious, I just felt… I don’t know I just feel like something is watching us.” Chases words were coming out in short breaths like he was scared.

“I feel nothing, you’re just trying to get out of this without saying I win.” Keagan smiled down at the lithe creature below him. He looked into Chases eyes and something real happened, he felt guilt for hurting his friend, this was new. They had wrestled like this for years but seeing the pain on chase’s face made him very upset. “What is going on?” He wondered. “I always win, why today do I feel like I am doing something wrong.” 

Chase continued to struggle under Keagans weight, he wasn’t hurting him but he put on a good show of it with his face. Giving huge puppy dog eyes, twisting his lips into a frown and biting his lower lip in frustration, he was having a good go with Keagans emotions. During his struggle though one of his sneakers slipped off into the grass letting his socked foot free to wrap around the front of Keagans chest. 

Keagan was too smart for this maneuver and he moved one of his hands free from holding Chase down to grab the ankle that was around his chest. But first he gave him a good tickle on the sole of his socked foot. Chase fought as long as he could but soon gave into a giggle fit.

“Stop That! I mean it! Please…. Please… I promise…. I’m gonna….Ok…. you win!” he said with a huff turning his face away from the man who just tickle tortured him. 

“Look at me Chase.” Concern controlling Keagans voice. “Are you ok?” He let go of his arms and moved his hands around Chases’ face cradling his cheek in each hand.

“I’m fine just get off me.” Anger flashed in Chases’ green eyes.

With a huff, Keagan rolled off Chase and laid on his back in the grass next to him, he interlocked his fingers and placed them behind his head. Closing his eyes he let the warmth of the sun beat down on his shirtless, sweaty, muscled body. The light of the Sun seemed to recharge him, he felt his emotions coming back into check no longer feeling bad for wrestling with his friend. He went to stand up and leave when a smaller very cold hand reached out and grabbed his forearm.

“Please don’t go.” Chase was close to tears, staring up at him with those puppy dog eyes he used all to often, he gave in and sat back down cross legged in the grass facing his best friend, he put on his usual mask of emotionless hard ass.

Chase wasn’t sure why, but he was scared to be alone. Maybe it was the feeling of being watched or seeing Keagans face right before he started to tickle him. Was there love there, is that what he saw? No there was no way, Keagan was straight. “I am nuts today!” He said internally, baring a small smile that pulled at the left corner of his lips.

“What has you smiling now? You seem to be on an emotional roller coaster today buddy.” Keagan cocked his head to the side like an inquisitive puppy.

“Nothing really, I just like being near you.” Chase scooted over to his friends left side and laid his head against his shirtless chest . Keagan threw his arm over his shoulder in a protective move and held him to his side tight.

Listening to Keagans steady heartbeat, Chase quickly drifted off to sleep.

He found himself in a dark valley, surrounded by high mountain like peeks in the distance, all he could make out was the round shape of a moon in the sky between two of the peeks casting a faint glow over the valley. He began to make his way down the path he was on towards the twin peeks in the distance. A rustle in the trees on his left had him stopping in his tracks, snapping his head quickly, listening for more and doing his best to see in the faint moon light. Instinctually he sniffed the air searching for a scent of this would be attacker. His top lip curled up on its own baring his teeth and a deep gravely growl escaped his throat, something that shocked Chase to his very core. He reached up with both hands clasping at his throat in shock but was brought back to reality when a small boy emerged from the woods. Still huddling to the trees in fear the boy opened his mouth but no sound came out.

“He doesn’t seem harmful.” Chase thought. He reached out his left hand while slowly crouching down to not seem imposing. The boy across from him with apprehension let go of his tree and slowly walked towards Chase. 

“My name is Chase?” He said very calmly, while pulling his extended hand back towards his chest. The boy lowered his head and closed his eyes.

“ I am Buer.” 

The very soft bleating of his name had Chase cocking his head slightly left. Now that the child was in more of the light he could see that Buer wasn’t human, no he had that hindquarters of a goat covered in a soft brownish fur with solid black hooves at the base.  Buer came skipping and clicking through the brush onto the gravel trail where Chase was crouching.

“Why are you here in the forest, you don’t belong here?”

“I don’t know why or how I got here.” Chase replied with uncertainty in his voice.  He stood up and looked around as if trying to get his bearings straight.

Without warning the wind picked up in a ferocious way, it came hissing from every direction, stinging at their skin. Trees swayed from side to side threatening to snap in half. Chase grabbed Buer by the waist bringing him to his chest and took off running down the trail as fast as he could. The wind changed direction, back tracking in on a central location in front of Chase down the path. In a brief second the wind turned into a funnel of purple, blue and black swirls. Screams of agony erupted from the funnel bellowing into the sky where lighting was now cracking above head. Chase charged to the left but the funnel followed, then right but with nowhere to run Chase felt a surge of pure adrenaline, with a furious roar and act of aggression Chase charged towards the funnel. Pure rage, carnal rage filled him, he felt every limb in his body on fire, taking a moment he looked down to see if Buer was ok, but first noticed he was glowing bright like an LED porch light on a pitch black front stoop.

“What the hell is going on? Is this a dream for real because, ouch, it feels real! Shouldn’t I wake up if I get hurt I thought that’s why we pinch ourself’s.” Chase protested loudly

“This is no dream.” Buer mumbled into his chest.

“What do you mean?”

“You’re in the land of the Fallen.”

Chases mouth fell open for a brief second before he remember what they were dealing with, he would come back to what Buer had just said once they were safe.

Chase Charged forward again letting his light guide him towards that which wanted to harm him, He would protect his charge no matter what. With renewed vigor he roared even louder this time shaking the swirling vortex.

“What sort of creature are you boy?” A soft feminine voice came from inside the mass.

“I am a human being!” He yelled in reply.

“That can not be, they are not allowed in our lands.” A gorgeous blue haired female stepped out of the funnel as it dissipated around her.

She was stunning, blue hair down to her round apple shaped ass, she had green eyes as large as an alley cat and just as attentive. Her body was covered in black leather which contrasted with her fair skin, over her legs she wore 8 inch thigh high leather stilettos. She was a bad ass and Chase new this, after all she was inside the tornado of wind.

“What are you?” Chase asked defiantly.

“ I am Raven, Sorceress and Protector to the Valley of the Fallen, safe haven to all those who are not truly damned. Are you ok Buer? Has he hurt?” She was cut off.

“Excuse me!” Chase barked as he moved to place himself in front of the now standing satyr. “How dare you, if anything I was protecting him from your crazy wind, bitch.”

“You will watch that vile tongue of yours child or I will remove it for you.” She hissed fists clenched in front of her as she stomped towards Chase.

“SSSSTTTTTTOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPP!” he screamed at the top of his lungs. Light, bright blinding light came rushing from his body. He was on fire, scared and just wanting to protect the child from, this Raven women. In a brief stand the light got brighter and brighter it threatened to encompass everything till it faded back and Chase found himself lying in his bed.

Fallen Chapter 1.

This is my first story ever, please be kind. I have to thank; NightTempest, Kitten2010, Gweal, And NoMoreTears for their friendship, their guidance, and their hardwork in keeping me sane. The editing has not been done so this is rough. Thank you !
**

Chase Belial was your average high school student. Good grades, good manners, good…. well, good everything .  Sometimes, first glances are not always what they are cracked up to be.

**

“Look, I don’t want to be beat up on my last day Michael. Could you just leave me alone.”  Chase cried out as he was backed into the wall cowering as much inside as he could to keep a brave exterior. Michael reached backed and punched Chase Square in the eye. Chases world blacked and he passed out on the dirty locker room floor.

**

The Halls of Gabrielle High School were almost empty, the ancient musty smelling building seemed even more ominous than usual. The locker filled hallways usually overflowing with chatting boys, now scattered with only a few faint conversations and sounds of rustling papers. The eerie silence was broken by the only person in the school who Chase called friend.

“Hey little guy.” Keagans’ deep voice boomed down the Gothic styled hall as he waved his free hand high above his head.  He re-adjusted his back pack on his other shoulder then quickly made his way across the tile floor, his loose Nike Air Max’s slapping the floor harshly with every step.

“Hi.” Replied Chase when Keagan neared, face planted deep into his locker.

“You ready to go?” Keagan asked knowing full well Chase was nowhere near ready. He took the time to look around and let his eyes wonder. This school was really creepy the walls were solid stone carved with columns and arched doorways there were at least 2 stone gargoyles in each hallway staring down each end as if guarding from unknown evil.

“Give me five minutes and I will be.” Chased barked again without pulling his head out of his locker. Chase was hiding a secret, he knew Keagan would blow up the minute he turned to face him, this wasn’t the place for that.

Chase continued to rip down the wrapping paper he lined his door with. The mirror he used every day to make sure his red hair was still perfectly styled. Lastly he delicately removed the picture of him and Keagan last Christmas when they wound up under the mistletoe and Keagan kissed his cheek. His mother was a saint for catching that perfect moment for him in photo form.

“I am ready but first promise me you wont get mad when I turn around and have faith that I took care of it, ok?”

 “Chase what the hell is going on?” Keagans voice cracked as he reared towards Chase.

“Promise me Keagan!” This was a statement not a question this time.

“Ok, I will do my best little guy.”

Chase turned and slowly closed his locker, closing his eyes into a tight squint and pulling his head closer to his buddy trying his best to huddle from what was about to erupt in that small hallway.

“WHAT THE FUCK CHASE! How did this happen I was only gone like 30 minutes and I come back and you have a huge red lump around your eye?” Keagan began pacing back and forth in front of Chase, anger and rage filling his body. He kept punching his fist and mumbling vile words under his breath. “ I am pretty sure that’s going to be a wicked bad bruise tomorrow.” He stopped pacing and took Chases face into his hands turning it up towards the lights.

“Who did this?” His anger was now gone, only sadness filled his words.

“It’s not important. I did tell you I took care of it.” Chase swatted his hands away and pulled back from the incredibly warm and soft embrace. “If he continues to hold me like that I might just melt into him and never move.” Chases’ internal dialogue was in rare form today.

“Can we just go please I’m ready to leave high school behind me and move onto summer.” Chase reached down and threw his bag over his shoulder and moved swiftly through the halls trying his best to get out of that hell of a place before anything else happened to him.

Suddenly he stopped, standing completely motionless as if an invisible force was freezing him. A large shapeless shadow had just moved from the doorframe and slid down the hall along side him and Keagan. “Nothing in this hall could cause that. What the hell is it?” Chase mouthed.

“Did you see that?” Keagan sounded just a wee bit panicked. He was moving close to Chase in a protective way.

“Uh… I am not sure what I saw but it freaked me out.” Was Chases’ reply.

The shadow continued down the hallway sinking into the floor just ahead of them and disappeared down a small crack. Keagan grabbed Chase by the shoulder and the two took off running down the hallway in the opposite direction towards the front door. Down one hallway, up three flights of stairs turning quickly left and darting quickly down another hall sweat and fear pouring off both of them. Once they cleared the front door into the blinding sun and heat of midday the two took to bending over, hands on knees trying to control their breathing.

“I am so glad to be out of that living hell.” Chase said through gasping breaths.

“ I never believed the rumors that the school was haunted.” Keagans voice was as shaky as his hands.  Both Chase and Keagan stood there in the sun for what seemed like hours just staring at each other and back at the eerie school. Finally Chase got up the nerve to walk over to Keagan and hug him.

“Thank you for protecting me.” He said sheepishly looking into Keagans Hazel eyes. A multitude of emotions from shame to lust flowed through him.

“We should get going dude, I’ve got practice in an hour.” Keagan opened the passenger side door to his BMW for Chase and he slid into the leather seats that fit his body so perfect, after 4 years of sitting in the same place everyday. Keagan let the top come down and into the trunk before he took off down the streets of Warwick Maine.

Chase loved riding in the convertible, seeing Keagans’ shaggy blonde hair blowing in the wind only served to amplify the sexy chiseled jaw line and expressive hazel eyes that he possessed. Often times he would take his shirt off as they drove and today was no exception Keagan reached down and grabbed at his T and in one swift move he pulled it off and over his head tossing it at Chase. It landed on his face as always, Chase took that moment to inhale deeply letting his scent permate every fiber of his nose before ripping it off and stuffing it in his backpack. Chase quickly adjusted himself so Keagan wouldn’t know he was turned on, too late he caught Keagan wink out of his right eye. Chase blushed 4 different shades of red before dropping his head in shame.

“I am pathetic lusting after someone so hot, those abs alone would prove that….are there really eight?” Chase snuck another quick glance only to catch Keagan running his left hand up and down them as if he knew what Chase was thinking. Chase blushed again returning to his position of shame.

Keagan loved teasing Chase to no end, he knew he was in love with him there was never any question about that. Chase had come out to Keagan two years ago and their bond was stronger because of it. Keagan adored his little friend more than any precious stone but he wasn’t gay, so he could only tease him to fill his needs. Chase was very cute at 5’ 7” green eyes like expensive emeralds and the softest peaches and crème colored skin he was perfect. Not to mention his red hair the color of a summer bon fire even spiked up like flames. He called him little guy because he was skinny not weak but lean muscled, Keagan dragged him to the gym every day to get that boy “some tone” as he often said.

They pulled into Chases’ driveway Keagan jumped out over the door not even bothering to open it. He reached out and opened Chases door for him. Even if he wasn’t gay there was no reason he couldn’t still be a gentleman. With a huge smile he placed his right hand on across his waist and bowed left arm behind Chases’ back.

“My King your humble abode.” He said in his best British accent. Before busting out laughing.

“You really are a jerk you know that.” Chase replied placing his hand on Keagans chest shoving him backwards.

“Are you trying to pick a fight?” A devilish half grin slide across Keagans face and a playfulness in his voice.

“No…NO I just meant…ahh damnit……” Chase started to back away slowly, his hands out in front of him shaking from side to side. He then turned to run albeit slower then he could normally but he was giggling now and it’s hard to run when you laugh. He was swiftly over taken by Keagan, as they tumbled to the ground both caught in their laughter they never noticed the group of shadows taking refuge in the trees of the woods behind them.

A New Day.
