beauty and the beast (alec/cam)

[DAVID JOFFREY MERCIER]

david had no idea how long he'd been here. in fact, he still didn't really know how he got into this situation in the first place. he had just been walking around, pretending to be out hunting, when someone jumped him. he didn't get a good view of the guy's face until they got to their destination, though. he looked rugged and was about in his twenties, but the way he spoke showed that he was much older . . . and the fangs meant he was a vampire. and lastly, david knew that since he had seen this man's face, there was no way he was going to be allowed to leave here alive.

what happened at the mansion was weird. this man . . . gave david to his son, for one reason or another. the hunter couldn't really hear much, and he assumed he was in an upstairs room. he was tied with his hands and arms both behind him, and it was only some of the training he'd gone through that allowed him to be awake and listening. " you need helping getting over . . . mutt . . . use him . . . sex, food . . . " david didn't need to listen to the entire conversation to know what was going on. he was a slave now. he was going to be the sex and food slave of some creepy vampire dude.

was that what happened? yes and no. after the first few days, alec - the person he'd been given to - didn't use him for that stuff. yes, he had at first, but it seemed that once he saw how miserable david was, he stopped. he even took most of his binds off, though he left the one on his ankle. after all, he couldn't have a hunter run off and say what happened here, could he? so, david remained bound to the bed, if only by that one ankle chain. he had learned by now that he couldn't take it off, no matter what. after his ankle was sore and raw, he gave up. the chains were too much for anyone, even a hunter, to break. he had no idea what they were made out of, but they were too strong to be cheap.

something that david never thought would happen started happening recently. he . . . he actually looked forward to when alec would come home, go into his room, and they would cuddle. it was pretty much the one thing alec made him do whether he liked it or not, besides eating. david really didn't mind, though, which was scaring him. he didn't want to fall for some vampire that's only using him, nor did he want to enjoy the company of a man this much. still . . . he liked how gentle alec was now. he liked the feeling of the other's warmth as he fell asleep, curled up in the vampire's arms. david, currently curled up in the bed by himself, made himself a promise. he wouldn't get stockholm's. then again, when he automatically smiled a little as the vampire walked in, he wondered if it that was a realistic promise.

[ALEC REN MIKINNEY]

The last few months had been horrible, so horrible that his ‘father’ had provided him with a distraction from his grief. A male and a hunter as a way to release frustration of any sorts, but he also had found that was quite the opposite of what he was doing. Most of the time he just cuddled with David. At first, that had all been different though. He had used him for sex and been rougher with the hunter, but he saw how David didn’t want to be with him and it made him a little more lonely. He wasn’t used to being with someone who wanted to leave, therefore he took care of him.

He could tell that David seemed better with him simply hugging him instead of pushing for anything farther. That was why when he opened the door then to his room, he smiled when he saw him. If the male really wanted to, he could leave, therefore, Alec thought maybe this could work for them both. “Hey you,” he said as he moved and plopped down on the bed next to him and leaned in to kiss his cheek. Alec didn’t know if this was crazy to keep him like this, constantly asking himself. He also was scared to let him go at this point, that he might try to tell some other hunters and then they would have an entirely different situation on his hands.

Alec wondered though if he could trust him and simply walked up to the edge of the bed by David’s feet and unlocked the ankle chain, peeling it back. He could smell that it was raw, just feeling the urge of taking a bite of him, but simply said, “I’m gonna clean this.” He went to go grab some hydrogen peroxide, among other things to help cover the wound. He came back and sat down, asking him, “Raise your leg a bit and put it on my thigh.” He wanted to help him more than anything else right now.

[DAVID JOFFREY MERCIER]

david really didn't want to admit that he actually enjoyed the contact he'd been having with alec recently. just . . . everything was wrong with it! yet it felt so nice, so right. this guy was the child of the man who'd kidnapped him; he also raped david repeatedly, drank from him for multiple days straight . . . and let's not forget that he was, well, a vampire, and lastly . . . he was male. david always considered himself straight - always - but being forced to be close to a man in that way made him start to change his feelings, in a way. or maybe that was stockholm's? that was always a possibility.

but, truth be told, he did enjoy the cuddling. david never really got to cuddle with anyone before - okay, ever - so the feeling was new and nice. it was something he easily got used to, despite how he knew he shouldn't david knew he should be thinking of a way to escape, knew he should be trying to get out as soon as possible, but it was damn hard with how nicely he was being treated now. yes, he was still chained up, but he knew this was pretty good treatment for being kidnapped.

the hunter smiled a little when alec walked in; he noticed the other's smile and wondered if alec was actually taking a liking to him. obviously the man was gay - or bi or whatever, but basically, he was into guys - and david figured that having the man fall for him would be an advantage. david smiled a little at the kiss on his cheek, something that had become the norm recently. after david had stopped flinching every time alec came up to him, the soft, near - platonic kisses started. again, david knew he should hate them, but he couldn't bring himself to.

when alec moved down the bed, david's heart race quickened. for a split second, he was afraid the vampire was going to try something sexual. when the chain was broken, though, he winced at the smell of his own flesh; it was raw and most likely infected, and he figured it would be a while before he could even attempt to run away. that is, if he could ever find a way to trick the vampires into leaving or something . . . he could never outrun a vampire, even when he was at the top of his game. " you . . . are? " wait, what? alec was going to clean it up?

david had the feeling that this was a trap. they were testing him, wanting to make sure that he wouldn't run away. he had the feeling that the elder vampire was outside the door, ready to punish him if he did anything wrong. the hunter overheard the elder once threatening to do awful things to david, but none of them ever happened. hearing what alec said, david did as he was told. " why do you want to clean it up . . . ? i mean, if i get infected and have to lose my foot, it means i won't be able to run away. " then again, david's leg was still jacked up; even if he could run on both legs, he still had his limp . . . the reason he was caught by vladimir in the first place.
