One x One with: Blacksoal

Keith just hissed at Iggy, eyes wide. He hadn't given the orders yet, so so far he was safe in that department, but he knew Iggy to well, and knew that they were coming. He growled, feeling ridiculously angered. Iggy was just pretending to care, to be innocent, he knew that Keith hadn't wanted the collar back around his neck.
"Why?" He growled suddenly, yanking on the collar viciously, even though it did nothing. His fingers clenched and he let his arms fall, looking defeated.

Shaye sighed and lay back down.
"Well I don't fell as if anything's wrong" She said with a sigh, her heart hurting as he refused to even look at her. She brushed a tear from her eye, lying on her side, back facing him. She didn't hurt at all.

Iggy blinked as Keith hissed a question at him, then blinked, crawling over and sitting in Keith's lap, then laying his head on Keith's chest. "Do you hate me for it?" he asked softly. His eyes were concerned, because Keith looked so mad, and he didn't want Keith to hate him. The fact Keith was so terrified at being controlled by Iggy was surprising too, what was Keith afraid of? Like he'd make Keith do horrid things. His reasons for having on Keith were petty. To the point where slavery wasn't even included, he wanted it to make Keith stay with him when he wanted, things like that. He waited patiently for him to respond.

Vaxi watched her lay back down, back to him. He sighed, curling in on himself our of stress His wings wrapped around him, making him look as if he were in a cocoon. His red eyes glowed in the dark as he listened to the soothing words from the oldest friend he'd ever had try again and again to calm him.

Keith gaped as Iggy actually sat on him.
"Iggy, how can you ask me that? I was owned for a hundred years of my life, controlled. I don't hate you Iggy, I couldn't do that. But this, this isn't making me to fond of you" He growled, sighing and leaning his head back against the wall, just sitting there, defeated for now.
He took deep breaths, forcing his body to be calm, despite his urge to scream. He couldn't lose it, Iggy wouldn't hurt him, would he?

Shaye sighed and looked at Vaix, he had completely cut himself off now. She reached under the bed, grabbing a magazine and begining to flick through it absentmindedly. She sighed and waited, patiently for him to acknowledge her, worry filling her.

Iggy listened to Keith's misery, and fear. Keith was afraid. His eyes grew sad, and he gripped Keith's collar in his hand and sat up straight. Looking at Keith with a concerned look in his eyes. "Why are you so scared? It's like you think I'm going to beat you or something..." He gave a gentle tug on the collar, honestly, he didn't know how to get it off. Can't bite through it, can't rip it off. What else was there? Keith had somehow gotten it off before. "Keith? How did you get the collar off the first time?" he asked innocently.

Vaix sighed softly, hearing Shaye start to flip through a magazine with a minimum of care. She was fine, a magazine wouldn't hurt her, and he wouldn't deprive her of a source of entertainment. He sighed, racked again by stress at the tough of her getting up and wandering around tomorrow. He sighed, hearing the voice go off again.
Vaix?
'Yeah?' his mind answered gently, in obvious fear to what would happen tomorrow.
Why do you do these things to yourself?
'I don't mean too...'
She'll be okay you know, we'll make sure of it.
'Yeah?'
Yes Vaix. the voice gave a sigh, as if it were tired of comforting him.

"A knife" Keith responded, not really awaare of what he was saying. He sighed and shook his head, looking up at Iggy with wide eyes, hoping against hope here. He sighed and shook his head, before forcing himself calm again, trying to keep his emotions relaxed. He couldn't stress right now, he couldn't. He watched Iggy, his body langauge slowly becoming more and more calm, though it was hard to tell if he was faking or not.
"I know you wouldn't beat me Ig" He said, rolling his eyes a bit saracstically, joking now, trying to lighten his own mood.

Shaye sighed, flipping through the magazine idly, smiling and folding select pages upon occasion when she found something she liked or wanted. She glanced occasionally at Vaix, hoping that he was relaxing, which would be nice.

Iggy blinked, "a knife? You sure?" He shrugged it off, knowing Keith was forcibly telling him the truth, as it fell under the whole command thing. He watched Keith's body language, then shook his head, listening to what Keith really felt. He sighed, smiling gently at Keith, then shaking his head. He curled up affectionately in Keith's lap, letting go of his collar happily, then closing his eyes and sighing. "Please calm down Keith, I don't want you to be mad. I'll take good care of you." He purred softly, then started to drift off.

Vaix sighed, the conversation went on for a long while, and didn't help in the least. He curled up tighter than before. Then bit at his wrists out of stress, the dark blood pooled from the tiny marks, then slid down his arm. His blood looked different in his demonic form, it was blackish red, and thicker looking. He sighed, and bit down again, the pain taking his mind off his internal struggle.

Keith watched Iggy drift off, contemplating going and grabbing a knife. As he did so though, he felt a compulsion to leave the collar alone and growled. Iggy had learned how to give silent commands. Sighing he leaned back agaisnt the wall, letting Iggy doze against him.
"Iggy, what do you mean by 'you'll take good care of me?" He asked, worried now. He didn't really like the sound of that, it made him feel like a pet, which stressed him out even more so. He sighed and shook his head, looking at Iggy and growling, shaking him awake.
"Answer my question"

Shaye smelt the blood and nudged Vaix, realizing he had bitten his own wrists, like Iggy.
"Vaix. I'll go get Roxa" She threatened, sighing and taking his wrists in her own hands and frowning. His stress was forcing him to hurt himself, it worried her, a lot.

Iggy jumped as he was shaken awake, staring at Keith in surprise. "What? Oh, I don't know. You just seem worried, and Sara didn't take good care of you. So...I just thought I'd reassure you..." He sat up again, rubbing his eyes and blinking sleepily as he smiled up at Keith. "Why? You want me to be cruel or something?" he gripped at Keith's collar again, purring softly as he inched forward and pressed he forehead to Keith with a soft smile. "Why are you so worried?"

Vaix gasped as Shaye's hands burst past his wings and took his wrist away. He wings fell back, and sad eyes stared up at her as he lay limp on the bed. "Don't get Roxa, she's not safe. She'll hurt you, I know she will." He frowned, giving a soft tug to get his hands back. He was stressed, he wanted relief, and Shaye at the moment, was preventing such a thing. "Please let go," he muttered gently, then hesitated, and bit at his upper arm.

Keith looked at Iggy, suprised.
"I'm not a pet Iggy, I don't need to be take care of" He grumbled, sighing. "I don't care if your cruel or something" He said, shaking his head and sighing. He looked at Iggy, "I'm always worried Ig" He said, still unable to even stand up. He was completely at Iggy's whim now. He sighed, wondering if he could ask one of the others to cut the collar off, but as soon as the thought came to his mind, he realized he was also compelled to keep the collar on, not ask for it's removal and protect it, if someone else tried to remove it.
"Ig.." He sighed and rubbed his forhead.

Shaye looked at Vaix, letting his arms go and getting off the bed. She didn't know what to say, but he was tearing himself apart, not even caring about himself.
"Vaix, stop" She said, standing at the foot of the bed. "Roxa won't hurt me, none of them will" She said sighing and shaking her head, looking exasperated.

"Yess?" Iggy purred back, guessing from Keith's actions, the vampire couldn't take the collar off on his own, which meant he could send mental commands, and that meant no one would cut Keith's collar off either. He didn't mind Keith's complaining, Keith would learn. Iggy wasn't cruel, or self centered, and he'd be kind. For now however, he just found the whole thing cool and exciting. Keith as a pet. He purred again, taking Keith's hands and swaying then from side to side playfully. "You'll be okay," he purred to Keith.

Vaix watched Shaye stand, his eyes widened and his tail began to flick somewhat violently. "Lay down," he breathed, "you promised you lay down today." He sat up completely, reaching out for her to come back onto the bed. "Please Shaye, I'm sorry. I'll stop." His worried eyes begged her to lay down again, at this point he was so stressed out with worry he felt like screaming. Shaye wasn't listening, she was hurt badly and couldn't feel a thing, she wanted to get up and go. He whimpered loudly.

Keith growled, yanking his hands away from Iggy. The collar would be easy to hide, anyone of his shirts would cover it, and since he didn't go around shirtless a lot of the time, he could hide it. Also, he had to keep it secret, and protect it. He growled again in frusturation.
"I'm not a pet Iggy" He whined, glaring at him and curling into a small ball, at least the collar was still allowing him to get away from Iggy, to an extent. He knew he wouldn't be allowed to leave the bedroom for awhile. He opened his mouth, and clamped it shut, unsure of what to say. He was worried, and a bit freaked out now.

Shaye sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"As long as you stop" SHe murmured, feeling bad about stressing him out. He was going to tie her to the bed soon if she wasn't careful. Sighing she moved back on the bed, resting her back against the wall.
"Is this alright?" She asked, picking up her magazine again.

Iggy watched Keith curl up, booting Iggy off his lap in the process. Iggy whined, then blinked, then smiled. Standing he bounced off to his box of books, pulling one out, it wasn't a novel, more like a visual guide. He hopped back over to Keith and waved in in front of him, "Transilvania?" he asked curiously tilting his head one way. It was one of his favorite picture books, even if it was a made up vampire world with a minimum of words, he loved it. He didn't want Keith to be scared like this, so maybe looking at the book would make him feel better.

Vaix gave a nod as she sat, he wanted her to lay, but at least she wasn't standing anymore. He lay back down on the bed, watching her with wide worried eyes. His wings drooped somewhat lifelessly from his back, and his tail had stopped moving all together. He just watched her for now.

Keith sat up, arching an eyebrow at Iggy.
"I'll pass" He said. Iggy was ignoring his statements now, which was bugging him.
"Iggy, I'm not a pet" He said again, more forcefully, glaring at him and going to grab his collar. He found that he couldn't even touch it now. Growling he turned his back, childishly, on Iggy. He wasn't handling this very well, he wasn't to fond of it. He sighed and shook his head, clawing at his face a bit, trying to get to the collar but coudln't. He couldn't hurt Iggy either, even if he wanted.

Shaye sighed and smiled at Vaix.
"I'm fine" She said again and looked at him with a smile. She reached over, sliding down the wall a bit and to reassure him.
"I'm sorry" She murmured.

Iggy watched Keith turn is back, then frowned. He sighed his eyes growing gentle, still with the childish look that told people he was still Iggy, and crept over to look at Keith's face. "Keith?" he said softly, laying the book off to one side for now. "Please don't be mad with me." He sat down beside Keith with a soft smile, taking Keith's hand and placing it to the collar. He had no problems if Keith wanted to grip at it, he just couldn't take it off. Having to many restrictions was depressing Keith, which made Iggy smile on the outside, but feel guilty on the inside. He lay his head on Keith's shoulders. "Besides," Iggy muttered, "now that I have you there's no way Sara can ever take you back, and I won't be mean like she was." He purred softly, closing his eyes and relaxing as he attempted to sleep again.

"For what? It's not your fault Shaye." Vaix muttered back to her with a soft sigh, his eyes drifted from her down to the bed, then closed. Almost out of exhaustion, being in his demonic form didn't help him energy wise, as did worrying constantly over you're girlfriends life. He breathed slowly, in small, tired raspy noises. He couldn't sleep sleep, not with things as they were, so he rested, listening with full attention to what Shaye was up too.

Keith shuddered.
"Now that you have me? What does that even mean?" He demanded, looking at Iggy with wide eyes. That sounded like ownership to him, which was what was happening here. He, in essence, belonged to Iggy now, and whether that was a bad thing, or a very bad thing, left to be seen. Iggy was already putting restrictions on him, much better then Sara had, making it impossible for him to escape. Even if Vaix or Roxa tried to force him, Keith would have to protect him, which meant that, barring Iggy's or his death, he was trapped. He dropped his hand from the collar, not wanting to feel it, even thiough it's weight on his neck was unmistakable.

Shaye sighed, "Well still. I'm stressing you out" She mumbled, flipping through a new magazine. She paid closer attention to this one, as it was one of her favorites. Italian Vouge, not some sloppy gossip magazine, but actually one of fashion's biggest names.

Iggy sighed as Keith hissed another question at him and once again he was woken before he'd had a chance at sleep. He frowned, looking up at Keith, then rolling his eyes, tapping Keith's collar with a raised brow. "Now that that's on your neck, are you susceptible to listening to other people's commands as well? Or just mine?" He smiled at Keith, making the other vampire clue in to his own question, he had a feeling Keith already knew the answer. He did have Keith, the collar proved it, unless however, other people could control Keith as well. Which was why he'd asked in the first place. He smiled gently, waiting patiently for an answer.

"It's fine," Vaix murmured, "maybe I'll learn to loosen up." He sighed, opening an eye to look at Shaye, before letting it roll lazily into the back of his head as he snoozed again. He could hear Keith downstairs, sounding slightly panicked. For Shaye? Maybe, probably. That and Iggy was with him, which took away Vaix's concern. Iggy was the cause for almost every petty problem...Keith was fine.

"Just yours. Unless you die, then the next person to tell me something is in control. Which is why you were able to control Vaix. If Saraya had been alive, you wouldn't have been able to control him" Keith said in a platonic voice. He had calmed down now, his voice more hushed, making it hard to hear him, even with vampire hearing. He didn't want the others to know about this, it was private, it had to be kept private.

Shaye smiled at Vaix, but sighed and flipped the page of her magazine idylly. She could feel a small burning sensation in her side now, but it wasn't bad. She glanced down, rubbing at her side, worried. She couldn't tell if she was bleeding or anything.
"Am I bleeding?" She asked him, sighing and rubbing at the banage again.

"The next conscious person." Iggy corrected with a smile, he'd taken a bit to think it over, but technically, Saraya wasn't dead, she was drained. All she needed was a blood donor to come back. That meant that because she'd been unconscious, he'd been able to take her place. He smiled, then noted the way Keith's voice hushed. He blinked, then smiled, catching on. "Hey Keith? What do you think would happen if I told Michelle about you're situation?" Iggy already knew, he just wanted to see if Keith flipped out or something due to his suggesting it, it was rather humiliating, to be imprisoned by a young vampire, not to mention a boy at the age of 14, with the strength one mere level up from an average human. Keith could take him down without any problems if he wanted to.

Vaix's eyes opened again, and he looked up at her. Then crawled over and looked at the bandage, "no...not through the bandage anyway. But yes, I suspect you are, and will be until the gap in your side heals..." He sighed, taking her hand off the wound with a frown. "Gentle okay? There is literally a big hollow hole in your side..."

Keith winced at the idea.
"I dunno Iggy. He might try to help me since I gave him a room at the house. Or, he'd laugh" He shrugged, not really to worried about this. If Michelle found out, it would go both ways, the latter was the one he suspected. Michelle was clever. By staying friends with Iggy, he would have Keith protecting him from Vaix. If he helped Keith, he couldn't guarentee his safety at all.
"He'd probably be on your side" He admitted, running his fingers anxiuosly through his hair. He sighed, Michelle was clever enough to see the advantage in controlling Keith. Even if he tried to help Keith, he'd only get hurt.

Shaye nodded.
"Okay, I can feel a sort of burning, but that's all" She said, smiling at him and letting her hand drop. She didn't rub anymore, even though it kind of was bothering her, in an itchy way, not a painful way.
"I dunno, it itches" She said, smiling at him and sighing. She knew that he'd understand, and probably be worried.

Iggy grinned, giving a nod. "Cool, you figured it out too." He lay his head in Keith's lap, then closed his eyes, desperately wanting a snooze at this point He lay still, then stared at Keith somewhat expectantly. "Anything else you want to shake me awake for Keith?" He smiled, content, the idea of having Keith as a pet was appealing, even if Keith didn't like it, it was just one of those thing you got used to over time. Giving a soft sigh his eyes closed, still waiting to see if Keith had any other complaints or worries or things he needed to shake Iggy awake for.

"Itchy?" Vaix repeated, tilting his head one way, then glancing at the bandaged wound. "I have nothing to give you for itchy, and there's no way I;m risking taking the bandages off. So please just bare it for a while okay?" He didn't move, instead let himself lay half on, half off her lap. His tail had taken to tapping gently again, and his wings were curled up in a perky way against his back. He was still stressed out, but somehow, laying with Shaye, in her lap, made him calmer and more happy.

"Yea, what do you intend to do with me exactly?" Keith asked taking some comfort in knwoing he was keeping Iggy awake. He sighed and shook his leg, deliberately shaking Iggy now. He hadn't been ordered to stop, and years of being kept like this before had made him really good at evading orders, unless they were direct. He nudged Iggy again, intending to keep him awake until his question was answered, in detal. If Iggy wanted to sleep that bad, he could order Keith to be still or silent or something. Both would be best, or he'd never sleep.

Shaye sighed and nodded.
"Alright" She mumbled, "Will you change it later though? Just in case?" She asked him. She wanted to make sure the bandage was clean, and she sort of wanted to see this injury, considering that she wasn't able to even feel it.

Iggy jumped as Keith violently shook him, he looked over at the vampire with wide eyes, he'd expected a question, but not to be shaken around like that. Though he guessed it was hi fault for laying down and giving the allusion he was falling asleep. He sighed, smiling softly at Keith, unlike Sara seemed, he was incredibly forgiving. He could be severely deprived of sleep, trying every second to sleep and constantly being shook awake, and he still wouldn't have anything to be mad at Keith about. Or more like, nothing he bother being mad about. He shook his head, giving a soft laugh. "Keith, you predict Michelle's actions to a perfection. Though when it comes to me, you're all curiosity? I think you are thinking to hard over this whole thing. Think Keith, I am a vampire will a simple will to survive and thrive. I am also very found of you. Can't you think it over and figure these sort of things out on your own Keith?" He smiled, laying his head on Keith's chest now, instead of his lap, seeing as how he was so easily shaken around when he tried to sleep there. He wasn't sleeping, though his eyes were drooping and he looked completely exhausted, for Keith's sake, he stayed awake.

Vaix frowned at her request, his perky looking wings slumped back down limply at the thought. "Shaye," he said softly, "when you say later, I say three to four days later. I am not taking those bandages off unless I have too. Really. If I did, you'd just bleed out again, pass out, and probably go through the whole almost paralyzed thing again.." He was getting around it by logic, though, in truth, he was just scared. Shaye even requesting something like that to him was cruel, and he wasn't exactly in a very secure state.

Keith sighed, "No Iggy, just tell me" He growled in annoyance. He sighed and shook his head, he was tired too, but he wanted his answers.
"Iggy, you stuck this collar around my neck, you owe me answers, not riddles. Now please, tell me" He said, he couldn't really shake Iggy awake now, seeing as he was sitting on him. He made as if he were going to stand up, but then sighed.
"Am I allowed to go to my own room?" He asked, doubting he was allowed to. Iggy wouldn't really want him to leave, he knew that much. He sighed and shook his head. He could already feel the compulsion telling him he wasn't to leave the bedroom. He sighed, "Never mind" He mumbled, resting his head against the wall.

Shaye sighed, "Okay" She rubbed her side once more, but didn't say anything. Vaix probably wasn't the best person to ask to change the bandage right now, but she knew he probably wouldn't want anyone else close to the injury.

Iggy smiled at Keith frustration at his answering, then rolled his eyes. "You really will bang your head against the wall when you realize how uncomplex, my reasons are, and yes. I have way more than one. First, and for the most clear of reasons, is Vaix. It would be nice to not have my neck stuck in danger constantly. Second, I like you, I've always like you. You're by far, my favorite. So it would be nice to know I get to keep you. Third, was for you. So that Sara could no longer take you. You are 100% safe as long as I am alive. Fourth is for shere company, I like company, and you, are usually hinted in miserable. Just enough for me to be at bliss, but not hyped to the point of bouncing off walls... I have some more, but I really don't care for them, they aren't as important as the last ones listed. Okay?" He hid his face under Keith's chin and gave a sigh as he asked to leave up to his room. "What room?" he muttered with a grin, "I thought you tore it apart. You're better off here than sitting in a pile of rubble Keith. I don't know why you're so eager to leave so you can curl up in a corner and pout. You're fine, nothings wrong."

"Thank you," Vaix muttered back at her reply. He knew she was bummed out over it, which he did not understand. He looked up at her sadly, but didn't do or say anything more for now. Just lay his head down in her lap and close his eyes.

Keith sighed, frusturated. He wasn't sure if he liked Iggy's reasons, but he didn't say anything, just growled.
"Well, I ordered some new furniture. I was gonna go set it up" He grumbled, but didn't get up. Iggy was to good at this, and it was driving him crazy. Sara had never been good at giving mental orders, she always had to say them outloud, Iggy really only needed to give mental orders at all.
"So I'm a body guard slash pet?" He said, arching an eyebrow at him, and hissing in annoyance. The word pet was irritating, he kept having mental images of leashes, which he wouldn't put past Iggy if he got to bored one day. He shuddered. "No leashes" He said rather suddenly, hoping Iggy understood, although, with his luck, he had just given him an idea.

Shaye sighed and ran her fingers absentmindedly through Vaix's hair, using her other hand to flip through the magazine at her side. She let her fingers trail down his back, not far, as she couldn't reach, but she continued this motion, in an absentminded manner.
