decades before anything happens, but, finally, the front door swings open, and Niko stalks in with his eyes blazing crimson, fangs bared, and muttering incoherent words under his breath that are probably not very nice to hear.

" Thank you Finn... You can go now." Niko sighs, catching sight of us in the foyer, as he flashes Finn a thankful smile, and the Lion finally lets me up. I pull myself up onto my haunches, shooting a glare towards Niko, as he kneels down on one knee in front of me, and reaches out a hand.

I swat at it with extended claws, a small growl leaving my lips, as he gives a gentle chuckle in response, which makes me even angrier, and pulls his hand back. In a sudden, angry burst, I rear up on my hind paws, balancing my weight between each leg, and lurch forward.

I rake my claws across his cheek, creating three deep gouges in his poreclain skin, and spraying thick blood everywhere, before I fall back with a yelp, turn tail, and rush up the stairs without waiting for him to react.

I shift halfway up, stumbling up the stairs the rest of the way, and race down the Corridor with my tail streaming out behind me. I make it into our room, slamming and locking the doors in my wake, and rush into the Wardrobe. I slam and lock doors as well, enveloping me in silence, and cower away in the corner... Pulling on my clothes before I do.

" RAVYN?! RAVYN UP THIS DOOR NOW!" I hear Niko demand, slamming on the bedroom doors with his shoulder roughly, as I pull my knees up to my chest, rest my chin on them, and cover my ears with my hands... Blocking out my very angry Mate.

I don't like it when people yell at me... It makes me remember that Night when my Leash was murdered at the hands of those wretched Monsters! All of those people screaming... My Mama screaming at us to run and hide... The Vampires shouting orders to... To kill! When people scream and yell at us, I always get so, so terrified, that I usually have a Panic Attack and black out from fear.

His terrifying yells to me continue, until finally, the doors break down, and his footsteps begin to approach the Wardrobe I hide in. I feel the tears pool in my eyes, desperately wanting to escape, as I cower further back into the corner of the Wardrobe, and give a whimper.

" COME ON RAVYN!" He screams through the doors, making me whimper again, as he begins to slam against the door. It gives only after mere minutes, and I find myself cowering under the eyes of a very pissed off Vampire.

" Come. Here." He snarls, making me growl involuntarily, as he stands in the doorway, shoulders pulled back, and fangs bared, and takes a step towards me. I see a bit of his blood, from where I had scratched him, still smeared on his cheek, but I am a bit too focused on his eyes, which are so full of anger they are literally almost completely red, to really focus on his cheek.

He suddenly makes it up to me, and, on instinct, I lower my ears, bow my head, and look up at him as I let whimpers escape my lips. He leans down, grabs my chin in his hand, and jerks my head up. My bottom lip instantly quivers, indicating that I'm about to cry, but I suck it up as best as I can, and stare up at him with my eyebrows knitted together.

" Don't you give me that face Ravyn James! You are in trouble..." He growls softly, but I can see some of his anger subside, as I widen my eyes, push out my bottom lip, and nervously fumble with my fingers... The actions making me look as Innocent as it can get! Goddess I love being a Submissive at some points! We know just how to get under our Dominant's skin! And, since I have been spending my time with Lukah a lot, he has been giving me tips on wriggling out of trouble...

" Awe! Okay fine... But you aren't allowed outside!" Niko decides, making me internally cheer with victory, as I perk up a little, my ears instantly up, and wag my tail. I finally comprehend his last sentence, and my heart drops.

" NOT FAIR!" I scream, giving a cry, as Niko shakes his head as if to say end of discussion and no need arguing, and I give a small whine in response. He lifts me up, places me on his hip, and carries me out of the Wardrobe... Stepping over the splintered pieces of the door in the process.

He throws me onto the bed, eliciting a small squeak from me, as I land on something bony and warm, and it makes a groaning noise. I realize, with another small squeak, that I had landed on my brother... Who was apparently still asleep even through all of the screaming and door breaking.

" Ow...." He groans, making me jump off of him, as he raises his head from among the many, pillows and blankets that he was curled within and under, and looks up at me with a small growl.

" Goddess Nee-Chan! I'm so sorry!" I squeak out, throwing myself at him, as he grunts in response, and gives a small snort. I wrap my arms and legs around him, clinging onto him like a monkey, as he wraps his arms around me, and begins to doze off again. Needing to feel comfort, I pull Robyn's shirt to the side, which smells strongly of Alec, to reveal his creamy, porcelain skin, and begin to gently suckle.

He gives a soft purr in response, reaching over me to grab the corner of one of the fur blankets, as he pulls it over the two of us, and begins falling back asleep. I feel the bed dip down beside us, and, a heartbeat later, a purrer begins to go off. I blink open one eye, still suckling on Robyn's skin, and find Lukah nuzzled into Robyn's side... His purrer going absolutely crazy, as he sucks contently on his thumb, a smile on his face, and flicks the tip of his tail happily.

" Get some rest Feather..." Robyn murmurs, causing me to crinkle my eyebrows in confusion, as I turn my head so I'm facing his neck, and look up at him. Feather? He has never once called me Feather! Oh well... I like new nicknames! Especially from my Nee-Chan!

I turn away from him, placing my mouth on a new place of his skin, which is now dotted with dark purple hickeys, and begin to slowly fade off into the wonderful land of sweet, sweet sleep.
