Casey smirked at how Alec giggled and rested his head against the dragon's chest. one of its hands couldn't help to move and brush though the other's hair, humming some before looking curiously at the question. It figured it was high time it explained the main contract it had.

"I've only been here for about a century, and when I got here it was under a contract to a vampire. thankfully as soon as i arrived it was over with, but then i had no where to go. A witch that was apart of some divine council for the town saw my powers and made a contract for me. My only price was to have somewhere to call home, only they went as far as to make it this place and put it into the contract that I couldn't leave unless so instructed. I don't mind it, but everytime a new witch is to become part of the council, the contract has to be renewed. I don't have anywhere else to go so I just stay."

Casey sighed, unable to stop its eyes and hair from turning grey at the memories. This place had been the nicest to it so far, but it was still not the freedom it used to have when it lived with its sister. This was short lived though when Alec brought up the fact that he could quite possibly become Marcus' pet. Eyes and hair turned red but he tried to remain from gaining an upset expression as it tightened its hold on Alec some.

"I'll have a word with him about that. I don't want you going through that sort of hell. Being a vampire's pet is not something I will allow to happen to you."

Marcus had spent a great deal of the night looking for the girl in all the places he'd thought he'd be able to find her. Eventually he'd borrowed Amelita to make use of her tracking skills and modern day set of eyes. Who knew taking in a former hunter could be so useful? She was like a bloodhound and he had to say he had trouble keeping up with her thought process as she was overly enthusiastic and all over the place.

Finally they arrived at a house that Amelita was sure was the one. "Marcus, please don't drag her out if she doesn't have jewelry, she doesn't deserve to die just because no one has taught her anything…" When she looked at him with those big, pleading eyes, he simply couldn't say no. It would appear he had quite the soft spot for the youngling. "You lend her your ring, and Arya will bring you a new one to take you come. This girl needs to learn she can't just attack random people, but I'll do my best to make sure she lives, ok?" She obviously wasn't happy still, but it was the best he could do so she seemed somewhat placated for the time being.

Walking up to the door, Amelita motioned for Marcus to stand back, and knocked. Some strange human woman appeared and the young vampire couldn't help but look at her quite innocently. "Excuse me ma'am, I'm looking for my sister. May I come in and have something to drink, please?" When the lady let her in, Amelita didn't take too long to locate the other vampire in the house and corner her in the basement where she seemed to have taken up camp. It took a few minutes to explain the situation to the blonde, explaining that she could come along with whatever Marcus had planned now or that she would be caught the very next time she stepped outside of the house and she couldn't guarantee her survival if that was the case.

"Please, just take my ring and go with him? It will be bad for a while, but you'll live?" Finally the blonde seemed convinced that going now was the lesser or two evils and got they walked out of the house together. "I'm coming with you to the graveyard. And Juliette is coming home with us later, it's not her fault she was left all alone," she said stubbornly. They still had time to make it back to the graveyard by sunrise, didn't they? Yes, so she missed her sister, and she wanted Juliette to have a chance to learn properly so she could have someone to share stuff with again. Just because she couldn't go home, didn't mean she couldn't make the best out of her new family. "Please?" she begged him, unable to resist jumping up and down with glee when he nodded reluctantly.

So they went back to the graveyard, where Amelita hugged the vampiress tightly before she crawled into the car with the tinted windows to be safe the rising sun. She didn't quite make it without getting a nasty sunburn though and was crying softly at her own stupidity and stubbornness. Once Amelita was safely out of the sun, Marcus kept a tight grip on Juliette's arm as he walked her into the graveyard. He intended to keep a close watch on her and make sure Casey didn't kill her so he wouldn't have to deal with a moping Amelita all day. Maybe some kind of deal could be made to ensure she'd only wish she was dead.

He nodded at what the other had said about the history on his contract. It kinda sucked that it would be renewed whenever a new witch would take to the council. Casey would never fully be free and it honestly broke his heart. In a way, he didn't have his entire freedom anymore since he was apart of some family now and had to do whatever Marcus or Arya told him to do. He decided to not question more about the contract situation and just nuzzled Casey's chest,

He looked up at the dragon now and smiled some. I am not sure if I am.....but......it kinda seem like he wanted me to be ready to be a pet.....whatever that means but I really don't want to be his pet.....I....I would rather it be you to be the only one that I have intimate moments with.... He said softly.

A few hours went by till he heard something pull up in the cemetery and smelt Marcus, Amelita and the vampiress that had attacked him. He looked to Casey. Marcus found the vampire who attacked me....he brought her here. He said.

Casey wasn't expecting any words on the matter of its contracts, enjoying the comfort created by the other just nuzzling against its chest. It ran its fingers through Alec's hair before stopping with a bit of a surprised expression on its face at what the young vampire said.

"That's very kind of you to say Alec."

It let a smile span across its face, choosing to cuddle with the boy. The red had faded into a light pink color, enjoying spoiling Alec with kisses and snuggles. It was even going so far as to our as it just held the boy close, clearly overly infatuated with the other. Casey stopped all his sweet cuddly behavior though when both it and Alec had picked up on Marcus bringing the vampire that had hurt its target of affection to make him an immortal. Hair and eyes turned red as it even went as far as growling. It rose to its feet, letting Alec remain on the sofa.

"I'd recommend staying in here, you won't be able to see what I'll be using to torture her but you will see her pain...And I still need to have a word with that Marcus..."

Casey was already walking to the door, letting it swing open with a bit of force as it had a goal in mind right now and that was destruction. The dragon near marched into the graveyard before stopping a decent distance from Marcus and the woman that had hurt Alec. it glared daggers as it resisted just turning into its true self and tearing her limb from limb.

"So this is the bitch that hurt Alec..."

Its words were hissed as the red in its hair and eyes became more vibrant.

Juliette was downright terrified at this point. She didn't even know what she'd done to warrant such reactions from people around her and though Marcus's grip on her arm was hurting her, the blonde clung to the other vampire as the unknown frightened her more than he did. Especially when that boy approached and just hissed his words.

Marcus knew that what was about to happen wouldn't be pretty and when Casey spoke, he nodded courtly. "Do what you want to her, just don't kill her. I want to have a go at her when you're done," he smirked as he pushed Juliette towards Casey, making her fall over at his feet. "Please don't do this, I didn't mean to hurt anyone." She didn't even know what he was intending to do to her, but she looked up at him with pleading eyes. She didn't know any better, how was she supposed to know who was ok to drink from and who wasn't?

Scrambling to her feet, she tried to get away, but was quickly stopped by Marcus. "Please let me go?" she whispered to the vampire that wouldn't budge at all. She needed to get out of there, she needed to get something to drink, and she didn't trust the daylight ring she'd been given by the girl. With the rising sun, she was terrified to be outside. It certainly didn't help her fear when Marcus merely bit his hand and forced her to drink. "Now you don't have to go hunting down a human," he chuckled and held her close to make sure she actually swallowed the blood. When he figured she'd had enough, he marched her over to Casey again and handed her over. "Let's try this again. Stay here, if you try to run again, I'll kill you myself."

Alec watched as Casey ascended the staircase that would lead to the cemetery grounds. He honestly didn't want either one of hem to severely punish the vampire who had attacked him. It was clear that she lacked control and she may have been turned against her will herself and was stuck with no one to teach her. He could hear everything that was going on and covered his ears, squeezing his eyes shut in hopes that her screams could reach his ears.

He hated that he could hear everything that was going on up on the surface. If he was ahman, he wouldn't even known that Marcus was up here....ignorance was truely something that was bliss when it came to situatons like this. He did stand up, walking o the door and grabbed he knob. Maybe he could convince both men to now hurt he vampiress.

Casey watched the girl scramble and beg for them to let her go. This only made the red in its hair and eyes run darker before Marcus managed to get her to still.

"I have no plans to kill her, that would be too easy of a punishment."

when the vampiress was at its feet again, it grabbed her by the neck, going so far as to lift her off the ground as it could smell her terror. red eyes glared at her as not even its playful smirk would surface for the torture it was about to place.

"Afraid of what I'll do are we? Maybe we should just let the sun take care of this!"

It then made it look as if it took the daylight jewelry off of the girl when it only hid it with glamour, leaving its protective magic on her before creating a cage from glamour and throwing her inside. As the sun was starting to rise, the unlucky vampire in the cage would feel an extremely slow and painful means of being burned by the sun, all without taking actual damage. The dragon didn't even try to inform Marcus that this was all going to be a trick on her mind and body, at least not until she started screaming or something from pain.

Marcus was glad that the dragon wasn't planning on killing the girl. On one hand, she didn't deserve to keep living as she was a danger to all vampires with her carelessness, but on the other hand he'd promised Amelita he'd try to make sure she survived whatever was in store for her. The former hunter could be a serious pain in the ass when she was upset and he didn't want to deal with that to be quite honest. So he watched as Casey grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground.

Juliette tried to squirm out of the kid's grip, absolutely terrified of what he'd do to her. She didn't want to hurt, it wasn't her fault that she'd been left to figure things out on her own. Heck, she hadn't even been aware of what had happened the first few days after she'd transformed and had had to figure everything out on her own. So far she only knew about her enhanced senses and speed, as she hadn't had use of anything else. It had been pure luck that she'd managed to find someplace to hide during the day as it was.

"Please don't," she begged. She'd been careless the first day after she'd completed the transformation and learned the hard way that she couldn't go out into the sun. She hadn't even known about daylight jewelry until quite recently and was content hiding in the shadows. So when the boy took her ring and threw her in a cage, she was crying, shying away from the rising sun the best she could before it hit her and she winced. She started trying to get out of the cage like desperate before the pain was too much and she couldn't take it anymore.

When the blonde started to scream and writhe in pain, Marcus snarled at the dragon. He'd said he didn't intend to kill her, so why would he expose her to the sun like that? If he didn't let her go, he would have to find a way to distract the dragon long enough for it to lose focus and disintegrate the cage he'd trapped the girl in.

Alec froze when he heard Casey speak about letting the sun take care of this. They were going to kill her?! He thought that they wouldn't....this didnt make any sense to him and he jumped when the girl started screaming. He quickly rushed up the stairs and stopped at the sight. She wasn't burning or anything.....but she was screaming as if she was in pain. Was Casey maybe making her think that she was burning?

He looked like he was getting ready to cry and he quickly ran over to Casey and hugged the dragon."Please stop....it's not her fault......she needs someone to teach her how to control herself." He begged.

Casey watched her beg and plead with it to let her go, but the dragon wasn't listening. It could tell she was terrified and soon could feel the pain she believed she felt from the sun when it was created by the dragon itself. The dragon watched her start to slowly "burn" in agony, only looking away when Marcus snarled at it. It had a deadpan look to its face as it walked over to him and explained. At least its victim couldn't hear what it said so long as she was screaming her lungs out.

"She isn't actually burning. All the pain she's currently feeling, and how she think's she lost the daylight ring? glamour magic. when i feel she's had enough you'll see that she's entirely unharmed."


It then looked back over to the cage just to prove a point. She wasn't actually burning, but in her mind from the Glamour it had laid around her, she would see her skin burning and the terrible agony that came with it. Casey could have let it go on longer but froze where it stood when Alec had chosen to surface from the crypt and see exactly what it was doing to the girl. Red started to turn yellow from concern for Alec as it could see the boy was ready to cry. The dragon couldn't help to feel somewhat bad then Alec ran up to it and hugged it, begging for it to stop torturing the girl. Casey tried to calm the one in its arms down before just surrendering and letting Alec have his wish. With a snap of its fingers all burning stopped, the cage fell apart, and the daylight jewelry could be seen clearly where it had been left on the girl. All of Casey's attention was now on Alec as it tried to get the boy to stop crying and calm down.

Marcus didn't quite understand what was going on until Casey explained how the sun wasn't actually burning her. Naturally, when he learned that she was ok, physically, he couldn't say he didn't approve of the dragon's methods. The girl certainly needed to learn not to mess with the wrong people, or anyone really without learning how to wipe their minds or simply kill them. The way she'd left poor Alec after she was done with him was a disgrace.

When Alec surfaced and hugged Casey, it didn't take long before the spell was broken and Juliette was sitting on the ground, confused as to what was going on and utterly exhausted from the agony of burning, even if she hadn't actually been burning. It didn't make sense to her and she just hugged herself tightly, crying while rocking slowly back and forth to wrap her mind around what exactly had just happened.

Walking over to the vampiress, Marcus yanked her to her feet and examined her. "Stop whining, you're fine." He didn't let her go though, he still kept a tight grip on her wrist to keep her from running before he looked over at Casey and Alec again. "What do you want to do with her Alec?" He asked calmly, clearly interested in hearing what the newborn would want rather than torturing her for cutting his life short.

He didn't want this, not because he was turned and he knew that it wasn't her fault. He looked up at Casey once the dragon released its spell in the vampire and smiled. He stopped crying, wiping his eyes and nuzzled his face against Casey's chest. He did look back to Marcus when the man asked what should be done with the female. He didnt like that it was totally up to him what her fate would be, but he knew it wasn't right to have her killed or punished when she couldn't control herself.

"Train her so she can control herself." He replied softly.

He did give Marcus a small smile."Do I need to come back with you when you leave?" He asked and just tightened his hold on Casey in hopes that he didnt have to leave.

Casey couldn't help to smile softly at seeing Alec start to calm down and nuzzle against its chest. It smoothed down some of the other's hair, almost letting a pur out of its throat as it just held Alec close. It did its best to keep a stony expression when Marcus addressed Alec, not surprised at the answer the young vampire gave on the matter. The dragon was more absorbed in tending to whatever the boy needed, though couldn't help to be confused about the boy asking to stay longer. It didn't know exactly what all Marcus had in store for the boy but it honestly would rather Alec stay with it more than anything right now.

Marcus couldn't help but find Alec's request adorable. "Then we're taking her home," he said gently and told the girl to go to the car and wait with Amelita. He knew that if she stayed in the car, the pink haired vampiress would keep the blonde quite busy with talk and chit-chat. That way she could get into any more trouble than she'd already been. Letting her go, he nodded to her that she was free to go to the car. Once she was gone, he addressed Alec's question.

"I'd like to take you out for an hour, then I can return you here? You need some clothes of your own and you need to feed, but then you can stay here until tomorrow, ok?" He proposed gently. "You can return here whenever you want Alec, but you can't stay here all the time." There was no need to be harsh with the innocent boy, and he really did need to spend some time with his own as well.

He looked at the female vampire that had attacked him before she was escorted to the car by Marcus. He looked up at Casey with a smile and kissed him deeply, happy that Casey had listened to him and stopped. He laid his head on Casey's chest, hearing Marcus and almost whined at what the man said. He didn't want to leave Casey, but knew that he had to listen to what Marcus said.

Okay.......Can I maybe come back in about a hour.....is that okay with you.... He asked Casey.
