Draven Lockwood || Vampire Alpha || 4000

After finding out the guy he was talking to had slept with his sister, Oscar had to find a way to make a break for it. It was just too weird and he wasn’t in the mood to explain why the twins were not interested in a threesome with him. Some people in Thorn Haven were wild, and much wilder than the witch had ever been. He slipped into a spot at the bar a little to fast and knocked a glass to the floor. Luckily the cold drink splashed down his dark jeans rather than on the man who seemed to be the owner of it. “Aw shit, I’m sorry. Let me buy you another drink to replace it,” he offered, already pulling a few notes from his back pocket for the bartender.

It wasn’t often that Draven frequented the bar scene but he’d been bored and had a craving for the taste of alcohol. Sitting at the bar he sipped slowly on the whiskey in his glass as his green eyes scanned slightly crowded room. Setting his glass down near the edge of the bar his eyes watched a male to his left completely unaware of the male that came bolting in from the right until he heard the glass hit the floor. “It’s fine - you don’t need to do that, it was half empty anyway. Plus it’s not like it’s going to get me drunk anyway - I was mostly just wanting the taste of it.”

Seeing his fangs spring out made Joanna jump in surprise.  “Oh…vampire. Right.  This place is…a trip,” she said, shaking her head.  “I suppose y’all don’t worry about a chill…but…do you freeze if it gets too cold?  Like, no warm blood keeping your muscles movin?”

“I take it you’ve never seen so many supernaturals in one place?” Or perhaps she’d not met many. “Freeze? I can’t say we do or don’t, I’ve personally never had that problem but perhaps someone has.” he stated with a shrug.

          They don’t technically need sleep anyway - Cat has been known to go on 4 or 5 day binges when he is particularly feeling himself. And now that he had a few hookups in this city, his magical drugs of choice were a lot easier to find.  “I’m not jealous.” After all they were the ones in cages, even if Draven spent most of his free time with those not half as cute as him.

          “Maybe you could leave all this dumb council business behind and we can go back home.” Draven had many homes, but the one Cat was referring to was the one they spent the most time together away from Thorn Haven. “Anyway, what do I have to be jealous of? You’re mine after all.” And no one could take that bond away from either one of them.

There is was - his words were firm and yet there was still a part of him that suspected otherwise. Catlin was needy and he hadn’t been giving the male as much attention as he used to before he had moved to Thorn Haven. Perhaps the young vampire was homesick? Or perhaps he just wanted him all to himself again. 

“Home huh? Are you going to leave me for months at a time again?” He loved the home they came from but it was more secluded and further out from the city where as here they were in the heart of it. It took a minute max to run into town to shop or partake in recreations, at least for him. “Very true, and you’re mine. No bond I make with any slave will be like the bond we share.” Unless he turned one of them - which he did not see happening.

His response made her blink.  “Dead?  How are you dead if you’re here talkin’ to me?”

How was he dead? Was the girl not aware of the nightmarish creatures living in this city? He opened his mouth to speak but instead simply let his fangs extend hoping it would clue to woman in. “All vampires are dead.” 

[sallyevans]

How do all y’all deal with this weather up here?  It’s nearin’ May and it’s so darn cold still!  I feel like I’m gonna shiver outta my skin.

[oldblxxd]

“I’m fairly certain I’m the wrong person to have that conversation with, seeing as I’m dead and the temperature doesn’t bother me a bit hot or cold.” Hell if he didn’t eat for a day he himself was cold as ice almost. 

[oldblxxd]

How do you feel about your little baby vampire spending time with other masters?

He can spend time with whomever he wants be it master, slave another civilian - doesn’t change the fact that at the end of the day he’s still mine.

          With his eyes still closed, the promise of fangs scraping against his vulnerable throat caused a lazy smirk to upturn the corner of Catlin’s mouth. “But I’ve only been asleep a few hours.” He says, but he’s practically purring at the attention. Truth be told, he’s still high from the evening’s events and it shows as dark eyes flutter open to fix his sire with a half-hearted glare. 

          Haven’t you missed me? Yes - more so than the younger vampire was ever stubbornly willing to admit to either one of them. “Of course,” as he speaks he is reaching out to affectionately grasp the back of Draven’s head and give him a light squeeze. “But I figured you would have a cute slave boy or two to keep you company as always, or I’d have come to your bed.” He’s not as jealous as he sounds, or maybe he is. 

Only been asleep a few hours? Draven couldn’t help but chuckle lightly “It’s more sleep than I’ve gotten so you should be fine.” He could smell the pot on Catlin but that was nothing new. Though it did hint that he had been partying up until recently - per usual. 

Feeling the males hand gently grasping the back of his head caused him to grin as he moved to run his hand along the younger males exposed chest. “Is that your way of telling me you want me to spend less time with slaves and more time with you? Are you a little jealous of them?” he teased in a playful manner - although he was a tad suspicious that his words were true. “I can be attentive and come to you sometimes - most the time we just don’t have the same schedule.”

luka-ramirez‌:

“deal.” he says without a second thought. whatever the vampire wanted from him couldn’t be worse than whatever punishment the guards wanted to dish out. “lead the way, sir,” luka smirked, very happy with himself that he was seemingly getting away with being a little too curious for his own good. but could you blame him? the cells were open. who wouldn’t explore then?

His answer had been quick and seemingly without a second thought - Draven knew he could punish the boy himself if he chose to, however he wasn’t sure if he would. He had some time to think over those details though, perhaps he’d base it off how difficult the other slaves were to wrangle. Leading the way to the guard station he explained the situation and the men didn’t bat an eye. They simply took Luka and put him into a holding cell with orders to keep him there until the councilman returned to collect him. 

He’d spent a good two hours or so gathering up the slaves from all over the city. Some had been difficult and others had given up fairly quickly. Surprisingly none had tried to barter with him like the first had. When the work for him was done he returned to collect Luka as promised. “Come on kid time to go. I need a shower and a meal and you’re on the menu.”

With a heavy sigh, Ashton opened his eyes, quickly coming to teh conclusion that he had been figured out. There wasn’t much use in pretending to sleep now. “That’s what I was thinking,” he reasoned, tone dry, even. Baby blue eyes settled on the master as he approached his cell, silently and curiously sizing him up. “Worst case scenario, I figured most master wouldn’t want a lazy slave that wants to sleep all day.” Granted, Ashton’s experience with masters at this point was still rather limited. “Looks like I caught your attention though.”

“I don’t know about that one, I would think most would prefer a lazy slave to an unruly one. At least with a lazy one you don’t have to worry about them getting into trouble all the time.” Though he knew there were some masters and mistresses that preferred the unruly ones. “You did.” for the time being anyway. “So do ‘lazy’ slaves wish to get out of their cells or are you more content sitting in there for days on end?”

          Catlin was the farthest thing from a morning person - even before the sun’s rays burned his skin. Even with the promise of a daylight ring, the young vampire was rarely seen before hours of the afternoon on any given day. Currently, his morning was spent hidden beneath weighted blankets in a brightly colored room absent of light. He had thought earlier to find Draven, but his sire had been in and out for weeks, only briefly seeing one another in passing. The job of council member is never a finished one, he’d quickly learned. 

          Maybe, if it were anyone else, Catlin could have stayed sleeping. Somehow his own body was hot wired to turn on ( in many sorts of ways ) any time his sire was near. His body stayed sleepy and quiet while the other’s weight shifted the bed and he settled in beside him. He tried to ignore him, but the lips pressing kisses against his throat caused him to stir. With eyes still closed, he stretched to give Draven better access. 

        “Can’t you see m’ sleepin’?” He murmured, voice thick with sleep, but amusement was still held in his tone. 

Even in sleep Catlin’s body was attuned to him - it was so very convenient for the older vampire. As more neck was exposed Draven couldn’t help but scrape his fangs gently across the soft skin. He was tempted to bite but refrained for the time being. 

“I can see that, however I’m not and I need attention so it’s time to wake up for a little bit.” He was sure he’d be met with at least a mild protest but that wasn’t anything he wasn’t used to by now. “Come on - don’t you want some attention? We haven’t spent much time with one another this week, haven’t you missed me?” Even if Catlin said he didn’t Draven was fairly certain it was a bluff.

It wasn’t often that Draven was gone for long hours at a time but he had woken up that morning and between council meetings and doing his fair share of work he’d been gone all day and half the night. He supposed he was playing catch up in some ways seeing as he’d slacked off a bit the past few weeks. He felt more on the needy side tonight but due to the time he was sure most of the slaves were asleep or rented and the last thing he wanted to deal with was attitude. So he had returned home empty handed. 

He had fully expected Cat to be out and about like his usual self, partying and doing drugs and whatever else the baby vampire got himself into. However upon parking the car and honing in on the male he could feel his presence within the house. It was unexpected but nice none the less. 

Moving inside he dropped off his items in the foyer and kicked off his shoes as he moved up to the second story. Within seconds he was at Catlin’s door listening to see if he was up. When he heard nothing but soft breathing he opened the door slowly and entered the male’s room. Slipping into Catlin’s bed Draven snaked an arm across the lanky males waist - his head burying itself in the crook of the boys neck. 

“Mmm wake up.” he mumbled softly as lips began to kiss along exposed skin.

luka-ramirez‌:

luka wasn’t exactly pleased about the response he got from the vampire, but didn’t argue much more. even though he really really wanted to. it wouldn’t change anything and he’d just be wasting his breath. though he tuned back in when he tried to make him some kinda deal involving punishment.  luka scoffed, arms crossed over his chest tightly as he stared the other down. “how about you just take me to the holding cells and tell them you found me in the old cells, like the good boy i am, and come get me after?” luka suggested, brows upped a bit. it was a bold suggestion. something he felt was fair. 

Oh the little human certainly felt he was entitled to more than what had been offered. Draven felt his offer had been fair but it seemed it still wasn’t quite enough to satisfy the boy. He was a greedy little human. “Like the good boy you are huh?” Draven questioned a smirk tugging at his lips. “Fine, I’ll tell them I found you in the old cells and I’ll come get you after I’m done.” he stated pausing a moment before speaking again. “However - you better be willing to provide me with all I want once I’ve rented you. Like the good boy you are.”

It had been well over a week now, and Ashton still couldn’t get the hang of all of this. The lack of privacy, the need to suck up to masters and mistresses simply for his own survival. It was exhausting to say the least. So it came as a surprise to no one who knew the human, that he spent all of his free time in his cell pretending to be asleep. Typically it got masters and mistresses off his back, the guards didn’t give a shit about him, and the usually the other slaves around him stayed quiet to not disturb him. it was a fool proof plan that had been working for the last few days at least. Until today. As he lay there, sprawled out on his mattress, he could feel the eyes on him. He must have been laying there for no less than five minutes, yet that attention, those eyes felt like they were piercing right through his facade. “You know it’s awfully hard to pretend to sleep with an audience,” he finally drawled, opening an eye to see how it was. “Hope you’re enjoying the show.”

[oldblxxd]

Moving past one of the cells Draven came across a male attempting to fake sleep. Honestly it was a good plan, most wouldn’t bother a sleeping slave unless they really wanted them. Though with his superb hearing he could hone in on the males heartbeat and based on that he could tell he was faking it. So he decided to stand and stare just to see how long the male would pretend. Less than five minutes later it seemed the slave had enough of his piercing gaze. Draven couldn’t help but smirk “Is it? What a pity I saw through your little facade, I take it not many bother you when you fake sleep?” he questioned as he moved to lean against the bars of the cell. “Only a little, prey is more fun when it moves around.” 

[oldblxxd]

luka-ramirez‌:

it was a lie. luka was just trying to avoid going back to the cells as long as possible. how was it fair in the slightest everyone else was still roaming free and he was probably one of the first ones caught by someone because he was trying to keep himself from getting bit by some wolf or something. “because i just do,” luka nearly snapped, a bit frustrated. “listen okay? my - my whole life has been a shit show forever but this place is just awful. i can’t even get what i want when i want it or need it.” normally luka was a lot less…bratty and rude but he was annoyed. “everyone escaped. not just me.” he pointed out. 

Draven’s eyes widened just a bit as the small human began to go off at him - it was clear he was frustrated among other things. Though he couldn’t help but smirk and muffle a small chuckle at the males last statement. “That’s the slave life, you don’t get what you want when you want it. You have to earn it here and acting out like this isn’t going to get you any closer to that. You may have not been the only one to escape but that doesn’t change the fact that you did.” he stated with a shrug. “How about this, if you stop throwing a fit and come with me to the holding cell and take whatever punishment they give you while I round up more of your comrades then when I’m done I’ll come take you out.” He felt it was a fair compromise but who knew how the other would feel about  it.

“As a matter of fact, yes.” Her eyes narrowed at the vampire before she rolled her shoulders back, shrugging off his comments. She knew when to take a break, she just ignored those times and continued working. “A garden. It could prove more useful with their outdoor time them simply wandering the courtyard. Plus, they could be farming their own food which would reduce their overall cost substantially.”

Of course it was. Some council members really didn’t know when to take a break. Then again he was the opposite so he couldn’t really relate. Hearing though that she had plans for a garden he arched his brow. “If any of them even know how to tend to plants that is. That’s also assuming one of the asshole slaves doesn’t destroy it out of spite and anger.” He had his doubts that many of them would participate though he supposed it would only take a handful of them to get the work done.
