#5 of Black Death

Well, sorry for the delay. Work and life are a drag. Here is the next chapter. Fenrir delivers some bombshells and Cecil and Snow decide to repay him. I'm sure you all know what is gonna happen next.

Also, for those of you that enjoy this and my Rose Garden series. I have decided to add some audience participation to both of them at different points. This is one such point. I will take comments on what you all would like to see these three do and might just put it in.

As always, comments, favs, votes, and the like are always appreciated. Feel free to speak your mind. It takes a lot to offend me.


~~~~~Fenrir's POV~~~~~

It took a little over half an hour to finish the description of last night's events. The two listened intently the whole time, taking in the details. The police arriving, my handling of the scene, my description of why they weren't still beaten up, how they got back to the island, and some other things. By the end, they were both less intimidated and more in awe of my skills. Despite asking questions during my story, they have not asked the one that I was both hoping and dreading for them to ask.

"I still have one question though. Why were you even near the warehouse? From what I can tell, you had no reason to be anywhere near it." Cecil asks me. Great, looks like I have no luck.

"Honestly, I was hoping and dreading that question. I didn't know how you would react to my reason since it was a personal one. But, I guess it would be best for you to know it, just, please, don't say anything until I'm done or hate me for what I'll say." I tell them and waited for their nods before I continued.

"My reason would not make since to you if I do not first explain to you about one of my abilities. You see, because of many 'near-death' experiences, my spirit has become trapped in between the worlds of the living and the dead. As a result, I have become a medium, despite still not being Super. One particular technique of a medium is the ability to see a being's 'mental lights'. These lights are the visualization of a person's 'mental power' and appear as a series of lights similar to an aurora borealis.

Each being has a unique color and pattern determined by their personality. However, while unique, soulmates share similar colors and species share similar patterns, which is even more similar between relatives. Through this, I know for sure that you two are soulmates. But, the odd thing is, it seems that I'm also compatible. All three of us are soulmates." I tell them, growing more solemn toward the end. I let the news sink in before I continue.

"I will leave you alone, if that is what you wish." I started as I stood, still with a solemn tone, "But know that you two have my blessings rather you are with me or not. Your lights, smell, expressions, voice, they all tell me that you two are joyful individuals that do not deserve the experience that you went through last night. I wish you two the best. I'll understand if you don't want to bother with me. I'm sorry." I start to walk away from them, my eyes closed, not wanting to see their expression. I hear movement behind and am grabbed by both of them. I would have expected yelling, hitting, or some form of anger, but no. They were... hugging, and crying. What!? What are they doing?

"Please... don't go." Snow said, his normally soft voice broken by his sobbing. The sound alone could crack a strong male's resolve, but the sight just made it worse. It pained me even more to know that I caused this.

"Yeah... please don't go. Stay, we want you to. You... don't have to leave." Cecil's voice was still strong, but was on the edge of ending up like Snow's. I couldn't stand there and let them stay like that. I broke their hold, turned around and wrapped my arms around them. I pulled them close to my chest then collapsed onto the floor.

"It's ok, you two don't have to cry over this. I'll stay if that is what you wish. Just please, don't cry over me." I whisper to them, keeping them close as I let them cry. I waited for a while, their sobs die out. Eventually I tilted their heads up so they were looking at me. I wiped the tears away and leaned in to nuzzle both their neck.

"You two realize that there is still so much about me that neither of you know about, some of which could influence this relationship." I tell in all seriousness, wanting them to know just what they are getting themselves into.

"Like what?" the both say simultaneously, the situation and that action got a small chuckle out of me.

"A talk for another time. For now I would prefer some food. Would you two like to accompany me back to my new dorm and sample some of my dishes?" I ask them as I stand up and offer them my paws.

"Sure!" they both cry out, instantly grabbing my paws and getting up.

~~~~~Snow's POV~~~~~

"Wow. This is so awesome." I yelled out excitedly. Fenrir had taken us up into the air. This was a first time Cecil and me have ever flown and the experience was amazing. Both of us had big smiles on our face as we held onto Fenrir's neck while his arms were around our waists.

He was taking us to his new dorm, which was odd considering he just enrolled. I didn't care too much though, I was enjoying the moment. The view was incredible. The wind flowing around me was cool and refreshing. I loved it!

I turned my head to look at Fenrir. He was staring straight ahead. He looked so big, strong, handsome. I couldn't believe that he saved us and was here now. After hearing that he was my soulmate along with Cecil, I just couldn't help but blush and admire him.

"We're here boys." He said, snapping me out of my daze. Cecil and I both looked down and gasped. The dorm below us couldn't have been his. It was the biggest, most expensive, and sought-after student dorm on the island. I turned back to him and stammered.

"This... This can't be yours. It's... just too expensive. How in the world could you get it?"

He simply chuckled as he descended to the ground and let go of us. "Quite simple really. It's another one of my secrets you don't know about yet. I currently hold the title of 'World's Youngest Multi-Billionaire'." As he said this, I think both me and Cecil passed out from shock.

~~~~~Fenrir's POV~~~~~

This is gonna be an interesting relationship. I think to myself as I carry the two smaller males on my shoulder back to my dorm. "Guess that was a bit much so soon." I think aloud.

I walk up and shift between the people that are still moving my stuff around. I get past them and head up the stairs to the master bedroom. I walk in and carefully lay them done on the massive bed, checking to make sure the room is neat and in order before closing the door and placing a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.

I walk back down the stairs and to the tiger in charge of the moving team. "Hey, Samuel. How's the progress." I ask him. He opens his eyes and smirks up at me.

"It's almost finished Fenrir. My clones have only a few things left to put in place. Can I expect my payment to be transferred once I'm done?" he asks. Despite his size, his voice isn't very deep.

"Don't worry Sam. Once Obelisk sees everything is in place it will transfer the credits. However, I would like to ask of your services again tomorrow." I tell him.

"Oh? There is something else you need of my clones?"

"Yes. I'm sure you saw the two males I brought in through your clones. I am hoping you wouldn't mind taking another job of getting their stuff and moving it here for me. I will pay you the same amount and a little extra for the trouble of a late notice."

"I wouldn't mind at all. I promise to return tomorrow and move their stuff as well." he says will a grin.

"Thanks. I'll leave you to your work then." I say as I turn to walk back inside. Sam closes his eyes again and returns to his work.

I enter the dorm and head into the kitchen, which was thankfully already finished. As I prepare to cook, I talk with Obelisk. "Finished integrating yourself yet Obelisk?" I speak aloud.

"Affirmative, Master. I have successfully finished connecting myself to the dorm and the entire Academy as well." My A.I. replies from the speakers above me.

"Excellent. Looks like the speaker system is also working properly too. Obelisk, once Sam has finished here, I want you to deposit 230% of his payment into his account."

"As you wish, Master. Is there anything else you wish of me?" he answers.

"Could you retrieve all information on those two and save it? I would like to look it over later on."

"Of course. I will complete the task at once."

I then focus on the food and quickly create a medium pair of chicken salads for Cecil and Snow. For myself, I skillfully whip up a large rainbow platter of fish. My maw waters slightly at the colorful sight and aromas it produces.

I place the two bowels of chicken salad onto the round dining table, which was big enough for about eleven people. As I return to retrieve my platter, I call out to Obelisk. "Obelisk, call the boys please, and direct then to the dining room."

No reply came, and I didn't expect one. Obelisk would follow the order, no matter what it was. About a minute later, the familiar feline and lapin arrived, though understandably confused and sleepy.

"Alright boys, have a seat at the table. We can discuss any questions you may have as we eat. I've made a simple chicken salad for the two of you. So have at them." I tell them as I walk them over to the table and pull their seats out and allow them to sit. I then make my way around the table to the other side and sit down before my rainbow platter and face them.

"I hope you two enjoy the salads. One of the quicker things I've made so we could eat sooner." I spat out before using my chopsticks to toss some octopus tentacles into my maw and chew on them. Cecil and Snow examine their salads before using the forks I had sat beside their bowls to dig in as well.

"So, I am guessing I need to explain myself some more." I start as I pick up a piece of rainbow trout, "I will talk and you two listen and eat until I am done, capisce?" I finish as I pop the meat into my muzzle. They both look to each other before me and nod quietly. I couldn't help but smirk at this.

"Good." I speak up after I swallow the fish. "First, I guess I need to properly introduce myself. My name is something I cannot recall. It is a mystery that I cannot seem to solve. For now I have adopted the name of the legendary wolf Fenrir as my given name. My middle name, Darkness, was to represent the void of my youth, something I cannot seem to recall even a small portion of. The family name of Rose is from the mark on my lower back." I pause there as I push my chair back and stand. I turn around and move my haori out of the way to show the blooming rose pattern in the fur, itself.

I look over my shoulder and smile softly as I notice the amazed looks on their faces. I hold the pose for a few more seconds before dropping the cloth and taking my seat again. "You two already know my unique species status, and the odd physical traits as well." I continue, gesturing to my wings and tails.

"Everything else that was said at the introduction and after was also true. However, one thing I have not said is the reason I bought this specific dorm. I got it because I felt it was the perfect place to start a team, one I brought together on my own and can trust completely. Because you are also my mates, I brought you here in the hope of asking you to join as the first members. Do you accept? Both me as a mate, and to become a member of my team?" I finished, looking over to them, my hellfire red and ultramarine blue eyes each falling on one of the two.

They look at each other again and nod to one another before turning to me. "Yes." they said as one. Their eyes were watery and their lips quivered as they said that. The sight pulled at my heart just as much as their actions before.

"Thank you, you two. Now, why don't we finish this lunch before it gets cold?" I joke, trying to lighten the mood, and smile at them.

They both smile as well and chuckle lightly before starting to eat the salads. I got back to my platter as well and we finished up within ten minutes.

"So, what did you two think?" I say as I walk back to the kitchen and place the dishes in the sink.

"Delicious!" they said together, almost in time with each other. They giggled at the own synchronization as they patted their tummies softly and stand up to push their chairs in.

"I should tell you two." I start, turning, to lean on the counter and look at them as they walk in, "The tiger I hired here to set all this stuff up will be back tomorrow to move your stuff from your old dorm to this one. With that, you'll be real teammates then." I say with a smile.

"Really?" Cecil asks, happy at the idea of moving in.

"That would be awesome!" Snow squeals, running over to hug me. Cecil following suit and joining us right after. I hug them back and pull them both close to my chest.

"That it would. I would love to have you two here with me. And others that I choose to join us in the team." I say nuzzling their necks.

They both look at each other and share a devious look. Before I can say anything, they each grab a wrist and pull me after them.

"Wh...What are you two doing?" I say as I stumble after them. They were pulling me after them as we left the kitchen and headed for the stairs.

"Don't worry."

"You'll see." They say one after another. They drag me up the stairs and into the master bedroom I had left them in before.

"Why did you- umph" I attempt to say before they both push me onto the bed. They stare down at me as I look back up at them.

"We want to show you are appreciation for all of this." Cecil states as he licks his lips.

"Yeah, we'll show you how much we think of it." Snow starts before he giggled softly, "You won't be a virgin for much long."

I chuckle slightly and grin back to them. "A pretty odd way to show it like that. Well then, come show me what you two pretty boys can do."
