Voltruist had been staying around Tristan book shop more and more these days. In the days before the curse the two had seem rather close. Tristan gotten some new shipments in and wanted Voltruist to look through and see if he like any books. He already come back from a mission, Mateo was in town. Since Zagine was always up Mateo ass and Mateo Zagines, he figure he could disappear to Tristans. Plus Zagines girlfriend was out of town so he was extra clingy to Mateo. Voltruist was pretty sure the two fucked each other. He always thought it funny, two dominate people fighting for top. He headed into the shop and looked around, he remember meeting Tristan here and never thought he have a friend. Tristan didn’t let Indigo drive him away from being Voltruist friend and respected neither liked each other.

Zagine was at the church looking around “Where the fuck he go? ” he sneered looking about “Little shit thinks he can just go out and about when he wants.”

Mateo rolled his eyes “Maybe you should chain him, I bet he bug out. He already starved for attention, you said he flipped out on you over some guy with glasses?”

Zagine nod “Yeah, he snapped at me. After I got the freeloader I know he was going to try to store here gone. He keeps letting people stay in the church and whats worse is Sanderson thinks its a great idea…so now I have to atleast let a small amount in here to appease that pompous ass.”

Mateo snickers “Dude acts like he has a rod shoved up his ass for sure. Well since it seems he is out, want me to hunt him down?” he grins.

Zagine had a devious grin “Yeah…feel free to rough him up. Just don’t fuck him…I don’t let anyone touch him. Though you can molest and tease as much you like.” he told the vampire. “Don’t care if he has bruises, but keep them out of sight, Sanderson gonna visit soon. Don’t need questions, like last time.”

Mateo arch a brow “Hey not my fault the piece of shit doesn’t heal properly. Besides he ask for it when he tried to bite me. He gets ballsy every now and then. I know you like your sadistic denying him, however you uh ever decide to change that….I love to break him in. I bet he sell alot for a fuck toy. Especially if you let everything be on the table.”

Zagine smirked “I thought about it, I have….but its more fun denying it. Any ways get that fucker back here.”

Mateo grins wide “Will do.” he head out of the church to hunt for the Priest. He knew he still be in the city, just a matter of where.

Voltruist was putting books on the shelves as he looked through the boxed, checking the titles out when a voice called out “I told you to find what you like, not put them on the shelves silly. Thats my job, not yours.” Tristan state as he grab the book from Voltruist chuckling.

Voltruist smiled wide to him, Tristan was about the only time he felt happy and safe. He felt more and more happy too, something about Tristan he liked. “I know, but I like helping.” he told him.

“Pavi…..I swear. ” Tristan shook his head. “here I got a shakespear book I think you will like. You seem to each shakespear.” he hands Voltruist a midsummer dream. “You will like that one. I like it anyways, me and Indigo went and watched it at the theater.” he told him “You should go to the theater. “

Voltruist loved the nickname of his first name when Tristan said it, just made his heart flutter “Oh no I can’t….no……Zagine wouldn’t allow it…..um…yeah ……but um hey thats great you went with….with…..” Trist watch Voltruist stutter through words “Indigo.” he tell the priest. “Oh yes um him.” Voltruist just lower his head.

“I know you don’t like him and I agree he should apologize, though you could too.” Tristan state. “I care about you both and like it if we could all hang out again. Even if Val is gone.” he move to put the book up. Tristan really believed Val died, Voltruist knew he didn’t however kept the secret for Benjamin. “I just don’t think its healthy keeping such anger is all.”

Voltruist sighs “I know…just…I’m not ready…I’m sorry.”

“pavi its ok. You don’t have to apologize to me, I just don’t think grudge holding looks good on you. You are so sweet, so helpful to many and Indigo just a bitch.” Tristan chuckles.

Voltruist gave a slow nod “Yeah.” he trace a finger on the spine of a book.

“Ok well….I have a few books I need to pack and load up to put at Stahs manor…he might be in torpor, but Indigo demands we still keep his library stocked. I wish he saw how much I love him, the way he wishes Stahs love him.” Tristan walked off to finish his work.

Voltruist wanted to tell Tristan he felt that for him, but he wasn’t Indigo, he wasn’t pretty. He move through the Isle, he wish he was pretty, with no mutilated flesh riddle with scars. He look through the books when a hand snaked around his waist, a flash back of memories over took him. It brought him back to the Vatican library, the Archbishop, without thought Voltruist slammed his elbow into whoever it was and kicked off the bookshelf to slam them into the other one, a grunt heard as the other let go. When Voltruist turn, his eyes wide as he saw Mateo standing up straight, anger on his face “M-m-mateo….I….I…I….” Mateo slapped Voltruist across the face, causing the Priest to stumble. He grab him and roughly slammed him against the book shelf “You want to fight huh? We can fight.” he told him as he punch the Priest in the gut a couple times, letting him drop to the floor holding his stomach.

Mateo Kicked him as Voltruist tried to crawl away from him, begging and pleading to him. He tried to apologize, knowing he screwed up, but was kicked again. “No you’re not sorry but you will be.” he told him. However before he could get another kick, a loud clang sound was heard, then followed a thud as Mateo hit the floor. Tristan stood behind him with a iron rod. “Can you stand?” He ask looking to Voltruist. He slowly stood up “Don’t hurt him….it will make Zagine mad.” he told him. “Tristan look at Voltruist “Run…..don’t worry about Zagine and me…I’m stronger. Now run.” he told him. Voltruist did as Tristan ask and ran out of the store. Mateo had turn around and got his barings staring at Tristan “That was a mis…” Tristan whacked him again “BITCH YOU FIGHT IN MY STORE!” he yelled, slamming the Iron rod over and over and over on Mateo “FIGHT MY FRIEND….TORTURE HIM….I KNOW YOU….BUT YOU DON’T KNOW ME!” he screamed.

He step back from Mateo, the vampire wincing as he was healing from the blows. “You ever hurt him again….touch him….I’ll put a curse on you no one can cure. Same goes for Zagine too, now go to your little bitch and tell him that.”

Mateo snarled as he got up, debating if he should fight Tristan, that was the magic user most avoided in town to piss off. He spit near Tristan feet and sneered as he left the shop “Your days are numbered.” he told the shop keeper.

Mateo got back to the church mad, he stomp in seeing Zagine waiting by the alter, Voltruist sat at his feet in pain. It seem Zagine had taken it upon himself to punish the Priest. “What happen to you?” Zagine ask Mateo.

“That fucking Shop keeper, the book store one….fucking attacked me over him.” he pointed at Voltruist.

Zagine stomp on the Priest hand “Apologize.” he commanded. The Priest yelping as he felt the boot press and dig into his hand “I’m sorry….I’m sorry….I’m sorrry.” he cried out.

“The guy said he curse us if we hurt him anymore. Claims it be uncurable.” Mateo sneered.

“Get out of here.” Zagine told Voltruist, he crawled and skittered to run out of the room to his room. “Well if Tristan wants to play that, my girlfriends been ready to take him anyways. Shes hunting Indigo now. I’ll tell her to curse Indigo, then Tristan can watch the one he loves die slowly…. he will be to busy for Tru.” he grins.

“Good, though maybe he should be cursed too that shit.” Mateo shook his head “He is lucky he caught me off guard, I know to be unguard with him next time.”

“Next time he will be dealt with.” Zagine stated.
