Casey had managed to get himself in a bit of trouble with his primary contractor. The dragon had gotten a touch lazy with keeping an eye on Amanda and was more enamored with thoughts and visits by its vampire Alec. It had remained out of Dahlia's way for the most part, thinking as long as it avoided the shop the mad woman would leave it alone. Such wasn't the case though as dahlia had near knocked in the tomb door, startling the dragon from an unneeded nap.
"what on earth-"

"kneel before me now dragon! I know you've been slacking with your tasks, now time to face my wrath!"

Casey's eyes couldn't help to go wide at this, it's normally smirking face and eyes turning Snow White in fear. Dahlia dropped a bag onto the floor, various crosses, salts, and holy water containers spilling out of it. The dragon couldn't help to try to run further into the tomb like a scared child would before ropes thoroughly soaked in holy water gripped at his arms and legs. It roared in pain as its flesh started to burn some at the contact. The ropes dragged him to be on his knees, anchoring him to the floor while its arms were pulled above its head with the ropes pinning to the ceiling. Dahlia had ripped the dragon's shirt of with her claw-like nails, making sure when she did so to scratch at his back and chest to make it bleed its black blood. Eyes and hair were turning black as pain started to take over. Dahlia was grinning in an angry and agressive manner as she pressed crosses into Casey's sides before tying one over his throat. The dragon never stopped screaming as its cries were heard from outside its tomb even if it were faint in volume. The pink haired witch just cackled at getting her aggression out, starting to rub salt into some of the burns to watch the dragon scream and squirm in agony.

Alec had finally gotten himself more under control. He had gained new abilities that he'd never thought he would gain and he was far more stronger and faster than he was when he was a vampire. He actually liked being a werwolf/vampire hybrid....but knew that his life would change drammatically from it. Already some rogue wolves had tried to take him becasue a being such as himself was truely rare. He decded to go and see Casey, wanting to see the dragon again. He hadn't been able to see him as much as he used to and Casey didn't know yet of what he was.

He headed down to the cementary and stopped dead in his tracks when he heard the faint sounds of Casey screaming. Anger surged through him and he raced down to the tomb where Casey normally slept and he stopped at the doorway at the scene infront of him. "Don't touch him!!!" He hissed, feeling his claws come out and his fangs extracted out, his eyes turned a red color as he appeared then behind the witch and grabbed her by the throat actually digging his claws some into her neck but not hard enough to cause serious harm and slung her away from them, he quickly cut away the ropes that tied Casey down and gave his love a sad expression before tuning his angry eyes to the femalee. He sat up then, growling at her and started walking towards her, ready to kill her for daring to touch Casey.

"You little witch!! I should kill you for hurting him that way!!!" He barked and bared his fangs at her.

Casey had black blood oozing from various cuts and burns from all over its body. The glamour it had been using to make itself appear more human was failing but not completely. its skin wasnt human but white dragon skin and fur, blistered and stained from its black blood. Its eyes were as black as its blood while giving the witch a pleading look to stop. its two toned voice, one male and one female, left it as it begged with hoarse cries.
"Master...stop, please...."
Casey started screeching again, more blood surfacing now from the latin words inscribed into its spine for its contract with Dahlia. She had poured holy water onto the inscriptions, more dragon flesh blistering and burning. She was grinning happily at this until a new voice she didn't know was heard. Quickly turning around, she caught sight of only claws and fangs before her throat was grabbed. The air was knocked out of her lungs, feeling her blood be drawn and then thrown across the room. Casey instinctively looked scared for Dahlia and tried to tug at its restraints to help her, an instinct it would always have in contracts. It didn't know who it was that had saved it until it picked up in the rage that could only belong to Alec. Black eyes went wide while looking confused at what Alec had become, not just vampire, but werewolf too? The dragon had never seen such a thing as it shakily rose to its feet.
"Alec...when did this-"

Casey was cut off as Dahlia pulled herself up using the wall, she was glaring daggers at the two of them, not sure who to be more angry at.
"You have some nerve to attack a council member Hybrid, I'll be back for you later Dragon, this isn't over with."
She used magic to leave, more or less teleporting herself out of the room in the form of a gust of sharp wind and out the door. Casey looked absolutely terrified as it tried to reach for the cross still burning its neck, flinching and whining as it wasn't able to get it off of itself without hurting more. It looked to Alec pleading, as if wanting to be put out of its misery.

He didnt care if she was a council member or not, he bared his fangs at her and was going to attack her when she disappeared. He looked to Casey with sad eyes and quickly removed the relic from Casey and he quickly reverted back to his original form and quickly went to his side and he couldn't help but to look so sadden by this.

"Casey.......why did she do this to you?" He asked and placed his hand on the others cheek and almost wanted to cry at the sight that was before him.

Casey was struggling with breathing some until the cross was removed. The dragon was entirely worn out and in desperate need of some kind of healing as the bleeding was slow with stopping. Its whole frame was shaking and eyes and hair hair still pitch black from pain as it tried to clear its mind enough to heal itself. Casey couldn't help to flinch away at first from the hand on its cheek, a natural reflex after being tortured for a bit more than an hour.
"I wasn't...I wasn't doing well with keeping her contract....so she punished me while taking out personal rage too."
The Dragon had never had a savior from this before but just saw what she did as something that would always happen no matter if it behaved or not. Casey had come to accept that "masters" like her would always have a long term contract with it, but never did it see someone wanting to stop it. The dragon had its own questions though for Alec.
"But what happened....with you? both werewolf.....and vampire?"

He hated that Casey had to be under contract with that woman. He absolutely hated the witch now, she didnt have a right to just take out her rage on Casey like that. He almost didnt catch onto the question and looked confused for a moment before realizing that Casey must have caught onto him being a hybrid now. "Oh.....um I was attacked by a werewolf......and a witch saved me by turning me into a hybrid." He said.

He looked at the other with a small smile."I love you.......I hate that she did this." He whispered.

Casey looked to stop caring about its own pain as it listened to what Alec said happened to him. Dark eyes looked worried though still a former shell of the smart- aleck dragon. Said dragon couldn't help to start to become a bit dizzy then, its legs looking to tremble some in its pain. Casey ended up using Alec's shoulders to support itself from falling. it tried to give a bit of a smile at hearing that Alec loved it, but it was one emotion it couldn't understand too well or how something it could feel.
"I...I'm not sure i can answer that...everything hurts right now..."
Casey then covered one of its cuts with a free hand, pulling it away to see the thick, black, tar-like blood on its hand. It never liked the look of its blood, knowing it meant it was vile and impure even with its more angelic exterior. it had picked up on how Alec hated that this is what Dahlia did to punish it, only giving a weak smile.
"Don't, this is just how its always worked....if i don't behave im to be punished as my primary contractor sees fit."

Alec wrapped an arm around Casey and moved them to the couch so that Casey would he more comfortable. He didnt know what he could do to help heal the wounds and just sat down beside of Casey with a small smile. He wanted to out on a brave face for the other, but he really hated that Casey was being treated this way. He knew that the dragon could never get out of this contract. He sigh at the explanation that Casey gave him.

"She was taking out personal rage on you......." He said and couldn't help but to feel hatred for the witch start to rise.

Casey near fell onto the couch when Alec helped it, not caring it was getting its tar-like blood everywhere. it could easily clean it up with glamour later, but for now it could be left alone. Taking a moment, it noticed how distressed and upset this all made Alec.
"It's something that happens Alec. I've dealt with this for over 200 years, it's okay..."
It tried to smile but its lack of energy and pain were making it difficult. At feeling the hatred just coming off of Alec in waves, an idea came to its mind. IT looked hesitant to really ask as it looked at the hybrid with pained eyes.

"I don't like seeing you upset...can I...can I please eat your hatred? it'll help me heal...as would getting all these salts and holy water off my skin..."
The dragon's skin didn't burn so much as just itch now, the wounds trying to close up but the holy materials not allowing it. Casey needed more energy to recover and strong emotions or souls were the only thing that could even start to push recovery along.

He knew that he would have to just get used to this if he wanted to stay with Casey, but that didnt mean that he couldn't try to hurt or kill Casey's contract. He normally wouldn't think this way and was a very peaceful person, but when it came to those he loved and cared for, he doesn't or wouldn't hesitate to turn into a monster to protect them.

He looked to Casey for a moment at what the other asked."If it'll help you then I'm okay with it." He said.

Casey tried to give a bit more of a smile, though it flinched away in a state of pain. It sighed from it still being so hurt, but at the same time looked happy.
"I'm sorry if I take too much, I'm really weak..."
Knowing the best and quickest way to gain more energy from someone, Casey leaned in closer to Alec before starting to kiss the boy. At first it was gentle with its lack of energy before becoming more needy. The dragon was starting to drain all the rage out of Alec then, sapping up some of the boy's energy as well. Slowly cuts and burns started to close up, pushing the poison that was salt and holy water out of the wounds. The pain was starting to go away now, eyes and hair returning to their normal colors. as the last of its cuts closed, the blood was still all over its body but it was healed for now.

Casey broke the kiss, golden eyes staring at Alec as a gentle looking smirk split its face. The dragon nearly felt good as new now, though the salt and water of its skin was a bit irritating.
"Thank you."

"It's okay.." He said softly and waited for the rage he was feeling to go away. He was then kissed and kissed back, feeling the rage leave him and even felt some of his energy being sucked away, but this didnt other him because he just wanted Casey to be healthy again. The kissed suddenly ended and he felt alittle weak but smiled anyway.

"Your welcomed." He replied and gave the other a big smile and leaned forward to give Casey a kiss.

Casey wasn't 100%, but it was close enough for now. Sure there were no more cuts and burns, but if it wasn't careful that could start all over again if it didn't wash off its blood mixed with holy water off. The dragon picked up on how Alec looked a little weak, lifting a hand that didn't have blood on it to push some stray hairs from the boy's face.
"Sorry i drained so much, but I'm healed now."
Casey ended up smirking wider before pulling the smaller form closer to it, practically putting the hybrid in its lap. Seeing the big smile the other gave it couldn't help to make it feel something before embracing the kiss sweetly. It wanted to properly thank the boy for giving up energy, but this was still within its contract and it was glad. The dragon pulled away some with its playful smirk, putting Alec back on the couch as it stood up.
"I need to get all this putrid material off of me, care to join me?"
The dragon was starting to walk away, the smirk still playful in its eyes and lips as it started to walk towards its master bathroom. Whether the boy joined it or not it didn't care so long as the blood and holy water was washed away.

He was pulled into the dragons lap and kissed back but he felt to weak at the moment to really try alot. He did smile though and nodded at what he said )4 felt himself being put on the couch and looked up at the other and smiled at his offer. He took the other hand and followed him to the bathroom. He laid his head on the others chest and closed his eyes. "I missed you......." He said softly and looked up at Casey with a smile.

He leaned forward and kissed the other deeply now, wrapping his arms around his neck and started to playfully tug on his hair.

Casey smiled kindly down at Alec when the hybrid followed along. The dragon stiffened at the boy holding it and laying his head against its chest, unable to help it since it felt rather filthy right now. It didn't push away at first though it was trying to make sure Alec didn't get any blood in his hair or on his arms.the dragon could only chuckle at what the other said, slowly starting to put its arms around the boy.
"I missed you too, but we can be as close as you wish once I get cleaned up. Don't want my blood to stain your pretty flesh."

It accepted the kiss with a smirk, always liking the light tug to its hair before separating from the hybrid. It turned the shower on an shed what it had remaining of its clothes. Stepping inside, Casey couldn't help to hiss for a moment as the salted blood washed away, burning it some for a moment but far less intense than when Dahlia had been pouring it all over its skin. It just wanted to be clean and out of harm's way again.
