Chapter 10: Saving Erin Pt. 2 (Aftermath)

Allison watched the vortex trying to find a weak spot but was having no luck. What was worse was that she was trying to do that whilst fighting the angels. She noticed Mansfield (Richard) blast one of the angels with a constant stream of water before changing the water into several ice shards and impaled it with them. The angel dissolved into a bunch of shining light as it died. He quickly changed the ice back to water and attacked another.

Moore was having slightly more problems. Without much Earth around he couldn't access his element. He was also using water but without the fluid grace Mansfield managed. However he had managed to throw some of the angels into the swirling vortex so they were ripped apart by the swirling wind. She quickly dodged one of the Messenger's attacks and stabbed it with one of her daggers before throwing it towards another, smiling as it dug into the Messenger's eye. Both of them quickly faded into light. She took out several more quickly. As she fought she noticed that Mansfield (Ian) had set Lucas down near a corner and was protecting him, incinerating any Messenger that got close with his fire.

"Hey Monet, we need your help over here!" She heard Mansfield (Richard) yell. She quickly looked and noticed that he and Moore were being cornered by several of the Messengers. She sighed and ran up and grabbed the neck of one of the monsters and snapped its neck before going for another and quickly cutting it in half with her swords.

"Thanks!" he managed before icing a Messenger who tried was trying to attack Allison from behind.

"And thank you," she replied. After several more minutes the group had managed to take out the rest of the Messengers. They then turned their focus towards Erin who was still standing inside the swirling air vortex.

"So... what exactly do we do?" Mansfield (Richard) asked. He and his brother just shrugged looking towards Allison.

She frowned. She wasn't sure how exactly to get past that air vortex... it would rip them apart... and she didn't want to hurt the girl either... she was at a loss at what to do before she heard Lucas speak up.

"Erin! Stop this! Please let us help you!" he shouted trying to get up on his feet. He almost managed before his broken ankle gave out causing him to fall. Mansfield (Ian) quickly caught him before he fell on his face.

"Luc!" Allison heard Erin shout. She seemed to snap out of her trance for a second causing the vortex to vanish.

Seizing her chance Allison quickly ran up to the girl and grabbed her arms throwing her onto the ground. She quickly called for the boys, "Help me out! Restrain her before she falls back into a trance state!" she stated and the boys quickly joined her.

Moore wrapped his arms around the girl so she couldn't move her upper body while Mansfield (Richard) held her legs. Seeing the girl struggle against the physically stronger boys made Allison frown. That Angel was going to pay for this mess if she ever got her hands on him... she walked up to the girl calmly and put her hand on her forehead causing the girl to stop struggling.

"Shush, it will be alright..." she said in a comforting tone a tone she often used with her more distressed patients she dealt with during her training at the clinic. "This will hurt I will not lie but it will help you... it will go by quickly I promise..." after she said that she began to focus her Yin chi and put it into the other girls' body. The girl's body began to seize and shake uncontrollably. Allison also felt herself also start to fade... she was using way too much chi... once the other girl body stopped shaking the angel's taint faded from her body. Afterwards Allison managed to get up shakily and muttered. "We are finished, the taint is gone..." before collapsing.

"Monet!" She heard Mansfield's (Richard's) panicked voice shout out before all went faded to black.

Ian was relieved when Monet managed to cleanse Lucas' sister... he had to admit she was a damn good fighter... but all went to hell when the girl passed out. He heard his brother shout out her name before running up to her. He quickly lifted the girl in his arms before he himself wound up collapsing.

"Richard!" He yelled running up towards his brother. He was about to touch him before he heard someone shout.

"Do not touch him!" it was Allison her voice was groggy and it was clear she was barely conscious... "He is fine, I was dangerously low on Yin and my body took some of his own so it could balance my body out... but I wound up taking too much and unbalanced us both... if you touch him you might accidently unbalance him even further!" she said trying to get back up on her own hind paws but failed to exhausted to move.

Erin herself began to stir a little bit later. "Ow, what happened?" she asked herself rubbing her head. She looked around and noticed the room was completely destroyed, "Really, what happened here?"

"Do you remember anything?" Greg calmly asked the girl. He was still holding her tightly to him and she blushed somewhat.

"Not really... the last thing I really remember is... Ishmael! He threatened me! He said Luc would die because an angel tainted him and he would cure him if he got that Codex!"

Greg only shook his head at that, "He lied Erin, angels cannot be trusted with their word..."

"He swore on the River Styx..."

Greg looked towards the girl in shock, "How did you know to do that?" he asked. "A promise made on the River Styx can't be broken ever... not even the Gods can break a promise made on the sacred river or else they'd be forced to leave Mount Olympus for a set amount of time... I'm impressed you would know that seeing as how you were raised like a mundane..." he stated impressed.

The girl just blushed a bit at that, but then smiled. "Thanks," she muttered shyly.

Ian just smiled a bit before he sensed his dad enter the house with another presence. "Oh, dad's here... Greg maybe you and Erin can show him the way?" he asked them.

Greg nodded before looking towards Erin. "Are you able to walk...?" he asked her.

She nodded cheerfully, "Yup! I can! Let's go find Ian's dad!" she said dragging the much taller Tiger to the stairs. Ian just laughed a bit before turning his attention to Lucas. The fox was still struggling to get up. Shaking his head he went up and helped him up and leaned him up against his more solid body.

"Don't try that man, you'll only mess your ankle up even more..." he reasoned snuggling up to the boy.

Lucas just blushed a bit and tried to struggle out of the wolf's tight grip, "Ian..." he managed but the wolf only held him tighter.

"Nope, not letting you go until Monet fixes your leg!" he stated cheerfully. "So until she gets better I'll carry you everywhere, isn't that great?"

Lucas just gave him a blank look before speaking, "Sure, it is... you get to carry me despite not even being out to your parents..." he muttered looking away. "I don't need anybody to carry me, I can take care of myself... been doing it ever since I was ten..."

Ian sighed and brought the fox closer to him, "Lucas, yeah I guess I am coward for not being open with my parents... but my situation is complicated..."

Lucas stared into the taller boys eyes before coldly stating, "How so? How is your situation more complicated than any other gay teenager?"

Ian looked down uncomfortably. He was wondering what he should say... "Listen Lucas; remember when I said my family is the head clan back home? Well one day I'll be the head... I'm the oldest son. Eventually my grandfather will pass and my father will take the seat and after he dies it will be mine... my... our people are pretty into tradition. While being gay isn't illegal, it's still very frowned upon. Having a gay man as the head of one of the most powerful families in the hidden world would be very controversial..." he then sighed. "All my life I have known what my future is... when I found out I was gay... I became scared... I started isolating myself. Greg was the one person I trusted completely..."

"Yeah, I can see that you two seem pretty close..." Lucas jested.

Ian smiled bit at that. But then became worried... "Yeah, Greg is amazing... he's been my best mate since before I could even walk... Seeing him stay loyal to me even through my bout of depression only made me realize that... I fell in love with him..." he stated cynically. "Lot of good it done me though, Greg is as straight as they come... that's how he knows I'm gay. I pretty much came out to him... told him how I felt even though I knew he wouldn't feel the same. But the guy stood by me... Unfortunately Richard was listening in and he truly ruined perfectly good bro moment. So I know how unrequited love feels Lucas. Is that what happened? You fell in love without somebody who didn't return your feelings and they turned against you?"

Lucas looked away at that. Ian thought he might have struck a chord... maybe the fox would open up to him now? "I really do not want to talk about it Ian... not yet okay? I have so much on my plate right now I don't want to open another can of worms."

Ian felt his spirit drop. So much for opening up... "Do you not trust me or something?" he asked somewhat hurt.

Lucas noticed this and sighed, "It's not that Ian... I've put my trust in someone before someone I had known for a long time and he betrayed me... I only met you last week... we hardly know each other..."

"I guess that makes sense but trust me Lucas, I will never hurt you I promise and I always keep my promises."

The two sat in silence for a bit. Richard was still unconscious and Monet herself was fighting to stay awake as long as possible. Soon enough they heard footsteps.

Erin ran up the stairs Greg following slowly behind. "This is where we stay! That gate thingy is in my room," she told someone Ian could not see. Once she noticed them she smiled. "Your dad brought a Fey with him! He's so pretty!" she stated.

Soon enough Ian saw his father walking up the stairs. He quickly ran towards Richard when he saw he was unconscious but Monet stopped him and explained to the man it wouldn't be wise to touch the boy right now. A little bit after the Fey came into view. It was an elf man very tall and very skinny and very beautiful though his features though pretty didn't do much for Ian.

Once the elf saw Monet he did a double-take, "What are you doing here cha-" he was about to say before Monet interrupted him.

"I classmate of mine, the girl who showed you up was tainted by angels... I managed to remove the taint but we need to get that gate closed if you will," she said directing the elf to Erin's room. The elf only nodded before walking into the room.

Silence rang for a bit before Ian's dad decided to speak up, "Well, I guess you and your sister will be staying with us Lucas," he said to the boy his son was holding.

"This place is a mess... but I think you should contact your parents and tell them what happened or the very least your father..." he paused when he saw a nasty look cross Lucas' face. "Don't give me that look! He's your father! Even if what he did was wrong he has a right to know what's going on..."

Lucas just sighed at that, "What about my mother? I don't think she knows about the hidden world..."

A look crossed the man's face at that, "Well, I am not sure... but I will contact the Council. They should know of the recent Angel attacks as well as the fact we have two underage and unregistered mage's one of which is a Dark Mage..." he sighed. "I'll make the calls tomorrow... I think it will be best if you all stay home from school tomorrow especially the Mason siblings..." he rubbed his temples. "Yes, I'll see all of you back home... and Ian, I will speak with you when we all get home... we need to discuss some things." He stated before walking up to Monet. "So you tell me the reason I cannot carry my son is because his 'chi' is unbalanced... explain please."

The girl only sighed, "It is quite complicated... Chi is the life energy of all living things... it comes in two different forms. The Light Yang and Dark Yin... the reason elemental mages exist is because their own chi alignment is biased towards one or the other... an Air mage such as yourself as well as Fire mages are more aligned with Yang then Yin... the opposite is true for Earth and Water mages who are aligned to Yin... Light and Dark mages however are unique since their own chi is completely aligned with either Yin or Yang that purity is why they are so powerful... When I removed the taint from Erin I infused her with my own Yin energy to counter the Yang energy of the angel. However I wound up using too much and fainted. When your son touched me, my body took some his Yin to balance myself however it took too much and unbalanced us both... he needs Yin energy, any more Yang could kill him... same is true for me..."

"So, I have more Yin then this Yang?" he asked and she nodded. "So, you need Yin which I have plenty of, while my son needs Yang?"

"That is true..."

"So, can you walk Ms. Monet?" he asked but she shook her head.

"No I cannot, I am barely staying conscious as it is... Moore can carry your son as well." She stated. Ian watched as his dad nodded and scooped up the girl into his arms.

"Very well, Greg you take care of Richard okay?" he asked and Greg just nodded and picked up Richard but looked towards the other three.

"What about them?" Greg asked.

"We'll be fine Greg! We will meet you guys back home." Ian told the large tiger who only nodded reluctantly before stepping downstairs with Ian's father in tow.

Ian, Lucas and Erin just stood there for a few minutes in silence before Erin decided to break the silence, "We'll we best head on home... your dad drove and I doubt we'd all fit in there... guess we are walking to your house?"

Ian nodded, "Yeah sounds about right... we'll head on when the Elf is finished..." he said before the voice of the Elf rang out.

"I am finished Light User, the gate has been sealed..." They all turned to see the elf standing there. "I will find my own way back to Avalon... good-bye young magelings." He said before vanished right in front of them.

"Whoa!" Lucas shouted out. Erin also looked awed.

"That was awesome! But what is Avalon?" she asked looking towards Ian.

"Avalon is the home of the Fey, a realm separate from our own but we share the same world," he said before sighing. "But yeah we should head home..." he said lifting up Lucas and carried him as he did before.

All three of them walked outside and Ian quickly put a locking spell on the door before they walked towards the wall and saw that Greg had sealed it up. "Well it looks like we'll have to go through town," Ian muttered calmly.

Erin nodded and they began walking towards the street. Lucas seemed to be thinking about something, "Penny for your thoughts Lucas?"

"I don't know what to do..."

"About what?" Ian asked him.

"About my dad... should I call him? I don't think he has a right to know what happened..." Lucas muttered stubbornly.

Ian sighed but replied anyway, "I agree with my dad mate, he needs to know. You are his son, he loves you and I agree that what he did was awful, but he did what he felt was right to protect you and your sister."

Lucas only harrumphed and Erin looked towards them confused.

"What are you guys talking about? How is dad connected to having out magic sealed?" she asked them.

Ian looked away but Lucas spoke up, "When we were little he took us to a man in Victoria... the man sealed our magic and made us forget everything... Allison unblocked mine and I guess that angel unblocked yours when he tainted you..." he stated calmly.

After a little longer walking the three finally found themselves outside the Mansfield house. As the group walked in they noticed Greg pacing. When he saw them he sighed, "Thank the Gods! This will be the last time I ever let you out of my sight! I was going crazy..."

"We are fine Greg, trust me." Ian told him in an amused tone, but sighed. "Is dad in the office?"

Greg nodded a bit, "Yeah, hey I'll take Lucas here. Oh and I'll show Erin where she will stay... you'll be sharing a room with Allison if you don't mind... but be quiet she's asleep right now." He said after he took Lucas in his own arms and led Erin across the hallway.

Ian sighed and began to walk towards his dad's office and knocked on the door.

"Come-in," he heard the familiar gruff voice of his father say from the other side of the door.

He slowly opened the door nervous, "You wanted to speak to me dad?"

The older man nodded and pointed towards a seat in front of his desk. The man's grey eyes shone in the light of the room making Ian nervous, "Yes. What is your real relationship with Lucas Mason son?"

Ian looked towards the man in surprise he hadn't expected his father to be so blunt. He immediately started to lie. "What are you talking about? We are just friends..." he stopped when he saw the look on his father's face. "Okay, I... I love him dad... I know I've only known the boy for a week but I do... Silly as that sounds I'm gay dad..." he admitted not looking his father in the eye prepared for the man to start shouting at him.

But he only heard the man give a tired sigh, "I know, I've known for a long time son. You never were very subtle... but you are my son and I will always love you..."

Ian looked up to the man in surprise, "Dad..." he managed in shock.

But the man grasped him into a hug, "What did you expect me to do? Throw you out? I would never dream of it... though I don't exactly approve of it. But that's my own problem... just please don't get affectionate with him in front of me. I love you but it's still awkward." He said letting him go. "Now get some rest you must be tired."

"Thank you dad... what about mum though?"

His father looked nervous at that but sighed, "We will cross that bridge when it comes... but now get some rest, it's late," he stated and Ian walked out the door.

Lucas sighed annoyed. Greg had placed him in Ian's room before heading off to his own room. Lucas was exhausted and his ankle was killing him... he was about to drift off to sleep before he saw Ian walk through the door, "Hey man," the wolf said shyly walking up to the boy. He stopped and started to undress.

"What are you doing?" Lucas asked panicking.

"Getting undressed for bed silly, I sleep in the nude sometimes..." he said stripping down to his boxers and eventually those came off and Ian stood before proud and naked.

Lucas blushed a lot when he saw the wolf's penis was peeking out of its sheath, "Um..." was all he managed before Ian fell on him kissing him passionately. His thoughts were quickly turned to mush and he barely noticed Ian wave his hand locking his door. Once the wolf removed his muzzle from his Lucas gasped out. "What are you doing?" he asked.

The wolf just chuckled and started to unbutton Lucas' jacket. Once he got that off he quickly unbuttoned Lucas' pants and quickly threw the boy's shirt off and latched onto one of Lucas' pert nipples. Lucas moaned in ecstasy. He really should tell Ian to stop but it felt so nice being touched like this... The boy eventually moved up and kissed him deeply as he yanked off his pants and underwear, causing him to squeal through his locked lips as they dragged past his snapped ankle before leaving the small fox completely exposed.

"Sorry about that... but I'm helping you unwind." Ian stated as he moved lower until his face was level with the boy's crotch. He licked and sniffed at Lucas' sheath until his penis began to peak out of it and it immediately and it was engulfed by Ian's large muzzle.

Coherent thought had long vanished when Ian did that and he just wound up thrusting into the boys muzzle. He tried to keep himself from moaning but he couldn't help himself. After several minutes it became too much and he moaned loudly before cumming into the wolf's muzzle. The wolf lapped happily at Lucas' seed.

After he had sucked Lucas dry he let go and chuckled, "I was right... you do taste even better then you smell," he said as he wrapped his arm around Lucas. The fox felt himself fading and barely made out what the wolf muttered next in his ear, "I love you Lucas..." as all went black.

~~~~

'This is odd' Lucas thought to himself. He could've sworn he was lying in Ian's bed but he found himself on the ground in some dirty room... only he wasn't himself. He went to the mirror and saw his face... or someone else's. He/the boy was a young red fox around his own age. His eyes were a bright forest green far different from his own pale blue and his body looked horribly malnourished and his red fur was matted and filthy. He looked and felt miserable and just sighed and tried to wash himself and Lucas felt so odd... What was going on? He had gotten some of the dirt off before he heard banging on his door. He sighed again and walked and opened it.

"What do you want?" he asked the tall bull standing outside it. The man pushed in and shoved himself inside the door. "Derrick what is it?" he asked the bull who grabbed his throat.

"You short changed me whore!" he shouted. "And you know what I do to the sluts who short change me!"

"I-I didn't short change you Derrick! I gave all of my money to you please...!" he shouted trying to get out of the bulls grip but he was to small and weak to fight back the man jerked down his shorts and threw him down on the bed and stripped off his expensive looking suit until he was also nude he then he came down onto the dirty bed and thrust inside the small fox. He yelped in pain but let his mind fade away like he always did when this happened it went on for several agonizing minutes before the bull groaned loudly as he spilled his seed into his tiny body. The man eventually pulled out leaving his seed as well as some blood to drip between his legs.

As he watched the boy whimper the bull smirked coldly, "That was a good fuck whore, but if you short change me again I will be much rougher," the man stated before walking out and slamming the door leaving him to cry in his sleep. Feeling more defeated then he ever had before...
