Zhou Mansion

@Kim Jaejoong Zhou awoke comfortably close to Jaejoong, the other's arms wrapped around him. At first, he was confused, still in a daze, not knowing who this person was. And then it hit him. Jaejoong. Immediately, he pushed the sleeping vampire away and scrambled away. Hurriedly getting off the bed he practically hid in the farthest corner of the room, still staring at the intruder in shock. What was he still doing here?! And he wasn't the only one 'weirded out'... the servant girl was peeking through the door with concern and confusion. But somehow she seemed to be staring at him too? One look at himself explained everything. The state of his clothes mirrored what had gone down between him and Jaejoong (involuntarily). "D-did you...?", she asked in a quite voice, forgetting to apologize for peeking. The Chinese mouthed a 'no', not wanting to wake the vampire awake. He still looked asleep from where he was. With quiet steps, he snuck out of the bedroom, mentally letting out a sigh as he closed the door behind him. Then, he fixed his attire and went downstairs to find someone who could kick out Jaejoong. As he went into the garden, Zhou couldn't help but think back to how oddly.... .... pleasant it had felt to sleep beside him. But that was definitely not because of Jaejoong. Right. He simply didn't like to sleep alone. It would be the same with absolutely everyone.

@Zhou Ah Niu [ ; u ; yeah bby that would work <3]

@Jaejoong (Just thought of something.. What if Zhou's mommy was Lydia's friend? So the reason you knew her and Zhou, was because she took it upon herself to keep an eye on you after Lydia died? Wait.. Would that even work? Zhou's mom is an elf after all ._.)

@Zhou Ah Niu As he watched the boy fall asleep, Jaejoong laid down beside the younger man and extended his hand to gently cup the boy's cheek and it. Jaejoong never used to be so cold and selfish as he had slowly became after years had past with Lydia being gone. In a way he wished that the elf had been around when Lydia was still alive and maybe, just maybe she would still be around. Then maybe Jaejoong wouldn't being feel the pain he felt deep deep down inside. For a while he just lived because it was nearly impossible for him to kill himself and other reason was unknown to Zhou, Jaejoong had promised to watch over him since his mother was gone. It was something that he seemed to be ing up at for a while now. But right now everything was quiet and Zhou wasn't yelling at him or trying to fight with him. He actually in a way looked rather angelic in that moment, so much so that Jaejoong gently moved him to lay on jaejoong's chest as he let his fingers run through his hair as his other hand d his back. "Fan Cong...." He mumbled softly before speaking once again in a soft hushed tone, "Fan Cong suited you much better than Ah Niu..." He whispered and tucked a lock of the boy's hair behind his ear before exhaling and slowly drifting to sleep to relax his body

@Jaejoong (Aaaw.. Did I guilt-trip you? ._.)

Relief. That was the most dominant feeling that spread through his body. And anger, but he was always angry about something when it came to Jaejoong. This time, it was because he felt helpless again - he was helpless. Helpless and weak, because it really was up to the vampire to decide what was to happen and when they would stop. He could have made him feel unbearably aroused for hours, days if he so wished and he could also make everything stop in a moment. [Insert Chinese curse from the 18th/19th century here ] pheromone manipulator... In his opinion, the power was an embarrassment. But he couldn't really say anything, since his own power was much less versatile. Now he just sank back into the mattress, his lids heavy. His eyes fell shut and he immediately fell asleep. With a peaceful, calm expression he lay there, his chest rising and falling steadily as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened at all.

@Zhou Ah Niu With every lustful moan he heard come from the boy's mouth, it drove him to continue, but with every 'I hate you' it slowly made him look to drive to continue. He could tell he would probably regret it later more than he would enjoy it at the time. Jaejoong knew he wasn't great with interacting with people and it seemed the only person that seemed to accept him and his actions was Lydia. Lydia was the only one besides shameless humans that seemed to not need his pheromones for him to touch her. It actually made him feel rather pathetic thinking it. So pathetic that he slowly stopped every sensual action and turned his head away for a moment so he did have to see the forced pleasured look on the elf's face. Letting out a seemingly calm sigh, Jaejoong leaned close to the boy's face and spoke. "enough..." was all he could say before playing his hand over the boy's eyes and released a sleep inducing pheromone in the air as he spoke calmly, "... That's enough for now..." He whispered once again and kept the elf's eyes covered.

@Jaejoong Zhou gasped into the kiss, an involuntary bolt of excitement making his body tingle when he felt the other's hard member through their clothes. Dread, hate and desire was an odd combination of feelings to experience all at once. His own robe had hitched more than slightly, exposing the soft flesh of his legs to just over his knees. The next moment he was flat on his back, legs spread with the vampire comfortably settled in between them. His clothes had rode up even more and he was not wearing underwear. He never did. The elf felt the urge to wrap his arms around the other's neck but refused it and continued to grip the sheets. If he'd been in his right mind, he'd have wrapped his /fingers/ around Jaejoong's neck by now. And squeezed. Tightly. But now he just squirmed, his heart beating fast in his chest. Feeling their lower bodies press together made him even more excited and impatient as well. , he broke the kiss and tilted his head back, his long ebony hair spilling over the contrasting blood red sheets beautifully. The vampire's teasing had him whimpering needily. His body reacted immediately, back arching and his legs wrapping around Jaejoong's hips only to push the other's hips against his own once more. And of course, the "I hate you.." couldn't be missing here. It was exciting in a strange kind of way, being held down like this, gazing up at a large body hovering above him. Zhou did not like this.

@Zhou Ah Niu See how help how helpless the boy was under Jaejoong's pheromones, in a way it was actually adorable seeing the once so sassy and bratty elf actually acting so arousing and vulnerable all at the same time. Of course he felt bad and he knew it probably wasn't the right thing to do but Jaejoong couldn't help himself. Slowly cupping the boy's cheek as he looked straight into his half lidded eyes, Jaejoong heard the boy moan out ' I hate you' to him and feeling the boy move his hips as he felt how hard he truly was amused Jaejoong as he heard him repeat another 'I hate you' Only for Jaejoong to whisper so calmly with, " I know Zhou... I know." Laying their as he felt the elf kiss against his cold flesh, Jaejoong knew another 'I hate you would be coming up soon and sure enough he heard it as if it was as familiar as his own name. Though he was a little surprised at how quick the boy crashed his lips to the vampire's lips. Jaejoong of course replied to the kiss as he tilted his head a little and firmed his hold on the boy's cheek while his free hand founds its way to tightly the elf's bottom only to push his hips down closer to his own, allowing him to feel how awake had gotten for the boy. But he wouldn't just there before after a few moments of sweet steamy love to the other male's lips he managed to flipped their positions but kept his lips massaging against the other's as he settled himself between the boy's slim legs. It only took moment for the vampire to press the same about of pressure against the boy's lips as he did to his groin, Jaejoong giving himself permission to teasingly his clothed groin against the beautiful creature he had practically claimed as he prey.

@Jaejoong Zhou whimpered sadly when he was dragged back. He wouldn't be able to do that again. He could literally feel the other's pheromones make his blood stir. He was sitting right on the vampire's crotch and through his fine robes he could feel far more of the other than he was comfortable with. His breathing increased slightly, as the pheromones increased too. "I hate you..", he moaned, completely helpless to the other's power. He hated him before, he hated him even more now. If he'd ever had any respect for the man, for helping him kill his second mother, it had now been lost. But he couldn't fight it forever. He had no control over himself. And so, while screaming on the inside, his hips began to move. Panting softly, the elf started to grind against the other's crotch, gyrating his hips in slow, smooth circles. "I hate you...", he moaned once more. To an outsider, this wouldn't be so believable. Zhou was completely hard now, with his pressing into Jaejoong's abdomen. With half-lidded, lusting eyes he leaned down and teasingly flicked the vampire's earlobe, his hot, shaky breath against his ear. Then he moved down, nibbling and kissing his way down the vampire's neck. His hands had laced themselves in the bedsheets, clutching the soft red fabric tightly. "I hate you..", he panted as he gazed down at the man and swiftly connected their lips in a steamy kiss.

@Zhou Ah Niu Seeing the boy glare at him as if he wanted to kill him, Jaejoong leaned a little closer to the boy as he saw the faint clolour appear on his cheeks. The man could hear the younger boy's heart beat increasing and he knew that his pheromones where slowly but surely effecting the boy. So it did come a bit of a shock to him once he realized the boy broke free and attempted to leave actually amused Jaejoong in a way as he spoke, " What's the matter Zhou?" He asked in a curious tone as he grabbed the boy by his wrist and used all his strength to pull him back as Jaejoong let himself fall on his back pulling the boy on top of him as he wrapped his left around the boy's small waist and cupped the boy's hand against his cheek. "Do you really wish for me to stop Zhou? Hm? You always seem to try and run away when facing me... why is that?" He asked in a more calming tone as he d the boy's cheek with his thumb before he then played with the boy's long silk like hair. While continuing to release his potent pheromones, Jaejoong looked at the younger boy and tilted his head a little, "Do you truly hate me as much as you say you do Zhou?" He asked as he twirled his hair around his index finger.

@Jaejoong Zhou bit his lip, biting down more angry tears and comments. As expected, his rquest had been denied, what would he do? More like, what /could/ he do. Nothing, that was the answer. In silence he just glared at the man, when he was forced to look at him. How could anyone be so cruel? He thought the only person capable of such things was already dead. Clearly that was not the case. His brows knit slightly and a strange feeling started to overcome him. What.. what was this? Forced to look the vampire right in the eye, the man got a perfect view on how his eyes began to lose focus and lust began to flicker in his orbs, side by side with outrage. The elf squirmed slightly, his heartbeat increased and his body grew more sensitive to each touch. This felt strange. This was strange. For no reason whatsoever, blood started rushing down south and a faint blush decorated his pretty face. He was still holding onto Jaejoong, his hands clutching the fabric of his shirt. This... This... It was Jaejoong's doing. How dare he use his powers on him like this? How DARE he?!

"Stop!", he breathed out shakily, eyes half-lidded. His body and half of his mind ached for the vampire's touch. The other half despised him for what he was doing to him. This craving, this lust.. these were not his emotions. Zhou did not want this and his heart continued to ache in sorrow and despair. No. No. No. No. No. He did not want this. This had to stop. Despite the feelings forced upon him, the elf managed to resist the need to touch and be touched. Instead, he managed to pull himself free and began to move away from the vampire and towards the edge of the bed. He had to get away before it was too late.

@Zhou Ah Niu Jaejoong was actually enjoying the whole situtation, It was truly bring back memories of Lydia and it was actually bring him joy, so when he heard the boy order him to let go as well as push against him trying to free himself. Jaejoong was more or less willing to comply with the order. Jaejoong wanted to live in the moment for a little more, he didn't want to just stop and say ' oh well this was fun see ya later.' No he wasn't going to just let go and leave and he was going to make sure the boy knew that. "And if I refuse?" He asked calmly as he lifted the boy's chin and leaned close to his lips as he whispered practically against them as his cold breath hit them, "What will you do?" He asked as he let his body slowly release a potent pheromone to induce arousal and lust as Jaejoong pressed his forehead against the younger boy's, "Will you try and fight me Zhou? Will you try and deny me ?" He asked curiously as his hand moved to cup the boy's warm cheek as he maneuvered his way to where he was now on top on the boy, hovering over the elf as he trapped him underneath him. " Zhou..." He whispered and he leaned in to his face, " Do you really want to deny me?"

@Jaejoong (Unless you have something else planned.. How about some pheromones to mess with my baby? Consciously or sub-consciously released.)

How humiliating. How humiliating. How humiliating. What was this? Charity? A donation for the pitiful and poor? Of course Zhou wasn't going to ask him to add a please. How embarrassing that would be. Jaejoong was just rubbing salt in his wounds, as always. He felt like he was being treated like an infant who was still incapable of comprehending 'adult things'. He was just being pacified, like an annoying, crying child. The elf just grit his teeth and said nothing, like in old times. Instead he focused on the wish. He did want his hair back, now that he wasn't as dead as planned. Along with his appearance, it was the one thing he still had from his late mother and he relished it. Just like her before him, he did not cut it and kept it long. Once more, a dark mist shrouded the boy and his hair began to grow rapidly, until it was at it's original length again.

Zhou felt uncomfortable and comfortable with Jaejoong's lips brushing against the shell of his ear. It was quite odd, in fact. It was time to let go. This wasn't right. He could call someone else if he needed bodily contact and warmth. The vampire was one of the top 3 on the list of people he should not be hugging or doing anything more with. The elf attempted to pull away, but the other was holding him firmly, pressing his body against the other's tightly. "Let go of me.", he requested in a quiet voice and retracted his own hands. The elf was not expecting the other to oblige.

@Zhou Ah Niu Jaejoong ignored all the hitting and fighting the elf did because he knew it would stop if he just waited it out just like when he would fight with Lydia. The thought of the elf acting so similar to Jaejoong 'angel' shocked him, but at the same time it made him feel as if he still had the love of his life with him in a way, even though she had been dead for so long. The way they threw fits, the way they sulked and the way they acted when they were upset were so similar it was almost scary.
Then suddenly he noticed the elf slowly but surely reacted positively to the embrace as Jaejoong felt him wrap his arms around him as well. In reaction to that, Jaejoong moved his hand that was on the younger male's neck and placed it at the back of his head as he gently d the boy's unevenly chopped hair. Letting his slim fingers run though it, Jaejoong spoke softly, "Even if I told you I care, you never believe my words.." He mumbled as he leaned down close to the boy's ear and spoke soothingly, " But maybe now you will hear me correctly..." He started as he moved his hand and tucked some of the boy's hair behind his ear and practically pressed his cold lips to the boy's ear, " I wish for your hair to be the way it was, before you foolishly cut off..." Jaejoong finished but kept his lips where they were, "If you want, I'll even say please if you'd like Zhou... would you prefer if I said please first? I could do that if you'd like..." He whispered against the boy's ear as he held him tighter.

@Jaejoong (Make the hair wish again)

Zhou had real trouble hiding his true feelings when the vampire pulled him close and enveloped him in his arms. At first he was still hitting him, trying to make him let go. Then he just lay there, fists clenched, teeth grit, hiding his face in Jaejoong's chest. Being so close to him, gave him mixed feelings. One the one hand, he just wanted to hug him tight and bury himself in the other's embrace.. on the other hand he hated the vampire from the bottom of his heart. He genuinely despised him, sincerely loathed his presence. After all, his new life in England as merely 'Zhou' had been going smoothly. He was respected, feared and noone looked down on him. Then Jaejoong had to come and ruin everything. The elf wanted to get away from 'Ah Niu' and the vampire had proven that Zhou was still very far from escaping 'Ah Niu'. Everything was his fault.

He was not going to give in, not going to cave in. Absolutely not. Never. And yet, slowly, very slowly his hands found their way around the other. Just a little, but Zhou was cuddling into him. It made him feel like crap, but it satisfied another desire to feel warmth. Not heat - he actually felt quite cold - but emotional warmth. What a joke. Every second he remained in that position, the more he came to despise himself. He really was weak. Pathetic. Powerless. He was never going to escape who he really was. What was he doing? Hugging a man he hated, just because he felt a little lonely. This was not right. Just a little more. Just another moment more, then he'd pull away. "If you cared, I would be happy.", he mumbled. The words came out oddly, as if he wished for the other to care.. but it was actually an accusation. If Jaejoong really did not want to ensure that his life continued to be miserable, then he would not be crying. Then he would not have tried to kill himself. Then it would never have come to this. Then he would be happy.

And frankly, who did the vampire think he was? Trying to 'be there' for him? He had no idea about anything. He didn't know anything about what he had gone through living with/under the woman who had killed his birth mother in cold blood. 'Ah Niu'? He probably didn't even know what that meant. No one could understand him and noone ever would.

@Zhou Ah Niu Listening to the elf rant and rave as well as yelling at him to leave actually reminded him of Lydia when she would get upset with him, she would always cry and tell him to leave her alone. it was like it was yesterday that it happened. 'You're the worst Jaejoong! You're the terrible! I wish I had never met you! Leave me alone you uncaring excuse of a man!' That was the first time they had ever fought and he actually left her alone which he then learned was the worst thing he could do when she was upset with him. So he came to learn that when she threw her little fits that it was best for him not to leave her alone. So Jaejoong saw this as the same situation, Although he had his hand slapped away and yelled at, Jaejoong just shook his head. Gently cupping the boy's cheek once again he thought to himself how much Zhou and Lydia were similar. The only thing was Lydia loved Jaejoong and it seemed Zhou hated him. "Why would I waste my time pretending if I didn't care about you?" He asked before laying down beside him and pulling him into his embrace before placing his hand on the back of the boy's head only to move his chilling hand against the side of the boy's neck and let his thumb gently the area behind the boy's ear as he spoke, " I won't allow you to do something so cowardice as killing yourself... " He whispered softly as his other arm moved under the boy and pulled him closer to him as he tightened his hold on his waist.

@Jaejoong Just a moment ago, he'd felt completely drained. But when Jaejoong continued to look down on him, he felt a new surge of anger rush through his veins. Completely furious, he slapped the other's hands away. "JUST GO AWAY!!!", he screamed in rage, fresh tears streaming down his cheeks. "Perhaps you noticed when I tried to /kill myself/ that I didn't like you???!!!" It had always been like this. Whatever the elf said was ignored perfectly. It's like he was just a pretty doll, a plaything where his life was ruled by other people. "Why pretend to be concerned about me anyway?! You already got your blood, so go away!!" Obviously, Zhou was nowhere near calm. He was angry because Jaejoong wouldn't grant him even a small, simple request and he was angry because he was so desperate to just hide in someone's embrace that he even missed the vampire's cold touch. He hated himself, as usual. No changes there and none foreseeable. The elf had never been able to stomach how sensitive and dependant he actually was.

@Zhou Ah Niu Seeing the elf the state he was in was actually painful to see, seeing him so upset and in so much emotional pain actually pained Jaejoong. Gently wiping more of the elf's tears, jaejoong paused once Zhou told him, 'Remove your hand.' Slowly a sigh left his lips once he heard those words and of course he was going to be difficult so he simply said, "Then calm down and I'll move my hand." He stated in his normal calm, flat tone of voice. "If you don't calm down and stop crying then you won't get what you want." Jaejoong reminded him as if he was speaking to a child about behavior and how he can get what he wanted. He didn't realize he was speaking to him in such a way but usually Jaejoong didn't realize when his way of wording things sounded belittling or mean.

@Jaejoong Zhou didn't let go of Jaejoong until the last moment even when he'd been set down on his bed and almost pulled the man down with him. As a friend? Acquaintance? A person he saw every once in a while had said, all he needed was a hug. And subconsciously, the Chinese really did crave human warmth. Although it was more precise to say he lacked and missed it. He still didn't want to look at him, but had no choice but to do so as the other cupped his cheeks. And so their eyes met, the elf gazing at the vampire through tear-soaked lashes, a faint accusatory gleam in his misty orbs. His sobs ebbed out to whimpers, not because Jaejoong had told him to calm himself, not because he feared falling ill.. Zhou simply didn't have the emotional capacity left to keep going. He had trouble breathing evenly after getting so upset and looked down in his lap, where his hands clutched the fabric of his robe. "Remove your hand.", he requested in a quiet, barely audible whisper.

@Zhou Ah Niu It was in fact a sad sight to see as Jaejoong held the younger man as he cried. It was something that Jaejoong himself could never imagine himself doing in a million years. Crying was something he had only done once, maybe twice in his life, and to see the boy break down so easily surprised him in a way. It was shocking how the seemingly uncaring Ah Niu was crying and showing how vulnerable he could be was so unsettling that Jaejoong decided to at least save what was left of the boy's dignity.
As he felt the younger man's arms wrap around him, Jaejoong maneuvered his arms so he was able to pick the boy up as he stood to his feet.
Holding the boy securely as he held him off the ground, Jaejoong carried him out of the windowless room and back into the main housing area. For some reason Jaejoong didn't want anyone else to see the young man cry even though he had a feeling his was partly if not mostly the reason for the crying in the first place.
Carrying the boy the same direction he had followed him when he was running away from the vampire earlier, Jaejoong found his way back to the young elf's room. He wasn't going to use his abilities to stop him from crying, he was going to let him let it all out instead of just stopping him in a way that was rather forceful. So delicately,Jaejoong placed the boy on the bed and gently moved his hair away from his face so he could look down at him as he cupped the boys soaked cheek in his hand, " You're going to cause yourself to be ill if you don't calm down a little." He whispered and smoothly d the boys cheek as he looked down at him and tried to calm him.

@Jaejoong Zhou just wanted to be left alone. He wanted to wallow in his misery and fall so deep into depression that he could never get out. He wanted to spiral down into the darkness. He'd tried so hard to get away from his sad existence as Ah Niu. Asked for help to kill his second mother, gotten rid of everyone else in the family, moved to a different continent, hidden his given name and his existence from everyone who'd known him back in China and done so many horrible things to prove himself... He hated and despised Ah Niu, that weak, powerless, useless person who existed only to entertain others, to be ridiculed and humiliated because that's the only thing he could do. He hated him, but it seemed he was not able to get away from him. Ah Niu.. 'little girl' was a frightfully long and dark chapter in Zhou's life. Or so he'd wished it to be. But he could not grant his own wishes.

And now? Was he so pitiful that even Jaejoong felt the need to console him? He, who had found him and cut him down again? This man had managed to break the self Zhou had built up in London. He'd kicked him till he was down and then a little more. The elf's sobs grew stronger as he was raised up and pulled into his cold embrace. He buried his face in his shoulder, his warm, wet tears staining his clothing. He couldn't bare to look at anyone. His hands found their way around the vampire, clutching the back of his shirt weakly. The other really wasn't the optimal person to try and make him feel better and indeed, he was just making Zhou feel worse than he already did. But it was a body to hug and a shoulder to cry on nonetheless.

The Zhou in London was confident, malicious, dignified, proud and capable. Actually, he was just a desperate scream, trying to show the world and himself that he was not 'Ah Niu'. Everything had been fine, until Jaejoong had shown up and acted like he was the same as Ah Niu. It had broken him just a little bit more than he already was and so he cried and cried some more. Because that was the only thing he could do. Now that he was Ah Niu again.

@Zhou Ah Niu Jaejoong thought that if he feed from the elf that the pain would stop, but suddenly seeing tears keep running down the boy's cheeks made Jaejoong think that the pain from the boy not complying to the contract but no it was something completely different. It was obvious that it wasn't because of the contract, it couldn't be.
Tilting his head slightly, Jaejoong had a strange feeling about what was going on, but he couldn't help himself as he hesitantly extended hand after letting go of the boys arm. Gently Jaejoong glided his cold hand against the boy's cheek as he tried to gently wipe away some of the tears away. It had brought him back to the time when the younger man was a child and that for the first time in a while brought a small frown to the man's lips as he delicately lifted the man up properly so Jaejoong could securely embrace him in his arms as he tried to comfort him the best he could. It was strange for Jaejoong to be like this but at the same time he felt like he needed to comfort the crying boy. Gliding his hand down the boy's unevenly cut hair, Jaejoong softly the top of the boy's head before whispering calmly, "I wish your hair... would be as long as it was yesterday..." He mumbled as he sighed softly.
For some reason he just wanted to make him stop crying, to make his pain go away but he didn't know why, he just wanted the crying to stop, he would even prefer hearing his smart remarks over him crying, he would take anything over the crying at that point.

@Jaejoong In an instant all the pain disappeared and he was left with his shredded heart. But that was not the other's doing. It had always been broken, for as long as he could remember. Zhou didn't fight it when the vampire fed. He just smiled his sad smile, letting the tears pour down his face. Inside, he asked himself why Jaejoong never listened to anything he said. Why all his words were ignored like child's folly. Why he insisted on stabbing into his wounds with every word he spoke. Why it seemed to pain him so much to speak to the elf without insulting and degrading him. This was not anger he was feeling, but despair. His chest hurt, as if something was trying to come out. It was the pain one felt before letting one's sobs spill out. Normally, he would have kept it all inside, shown his feelings only in the privacy of his own room but he didn't care anymore. He had tried the extreme and failed as always, what did it matter? He'd let it out for just a little while and then return to his usual self.

By now the sleeping pheromones used on his servant's had worn off and they all respectfully turned away as he sobbed his heart out. The mute girl tried to approach, wanting to give him a hug but was held back by the butler who just silently shook his head. It was not their position to try and help him in the way she'd wanted to and they feared he would just bottle everything up inside him. Zhou cried and cried, past the point where he thought he'd used up all the sobs and tears he had.

@Zhou Ah Niu Seing the sight in front of him was rather upsetting to the vampire, It was actually making him feel guilty in a way seeing how much pain the elf was dealing with, but at the same time the elf was bring it on himself by not letting the vampire feed like stated in their little agreement. It was hard seeing the elf in the state he was in, it was even more hard considering Jaejoong had met him when he was so much younger than he was now. In a way he had a feeling the younger man was snapping if he hadn't already over everything that had happened to him. Willing to die to get back at someone seemed rather dramatic to say the least.
Of course Jaejoong wasn't going to let him die, it was surprising more because he didn't want the young man to die and because it would be rather troublesome to have the taste of sewage in his mouth forever. But mostly because he could just let the man die of something so foolish as to get back at Jaejoong.
"You have truly... lost your mind Ah Niu..." He stated even after being yelled at to stop calling him by that name. Slowly walking over to the young man that had hid himself in one of the corners of the room, Jaejoong keeled down and looked at the Ah Niu surprisingly soft eyes as he grabbed the boy's right arm. " I'm done with this foolish game..." He whispered and without another word, He bit the boy's wrist and let the boy's hot crimson liquid pour down his throat as he tightly squeezed the boy's arm to keep it close to his lips.

@Zhou Ah Niu Zitao was everything but calm when the door was closed and the man bent down to meet the child's eyes. He held her hand tightly, but gently, not wanting to let her go in case the other had any ideas. He looked at him carefully before looking around in awe, the place was definitely beautiful if he had to admit it. He looked down to the girl and she seemed excited from the offer of the candy and the hot beverage, but he noticed she didn't say a word. Raising his gaze back to the other elf, he quirked a brow when he spoke to the maid.

Gently tugging on the child's hand, he ruffled her hair and smiled sheepishly as she seemed to want the toys, or whatever the man had in mind, and he found it quite charming, but his expression became wary once he was told to go sit down. Nodding his head, he walked with the girl beside him to the living room. "Thanks for the hospitality.."

@Huang Zitao Zhou silently closed the door behind them, while butler asked his guests if they would like some tea. As he addressed the girl, he bent down a little so that they were on eye-level and asked if she would perhaps prefer a hot chocolate and some candy. The elf let his butler talk to the two, while he himselfed went through a large door, into the living room where the maid was. Despite the moderately large mansion he lived in, his staff consisted of one butler, one maid, one personal attendant and one cook. He simply needed them to keep track of things, he did most of the chores by fulfilling their wishes.

"Do we have some toys for a little girl? A doll, perhaps?" The maid pondered the question for a moment and then nodded. "I believe we do master Zhou. Would you like me to bring it?" He nodded. "Yes, quickly please." Assuming that by now his butler was done playing waiter, he returned to the entrance and beckoned them into the living room with a smile. "Come inside and sit down.. for now~"

@Zhou Ah Niu  Zitao glanced the man over and over, distrusting of him, but nonetheless he was determined to get whatever help he could. He lowered his gaze to the child, wiping her tears away and keeping her close to his side. He shifted his weight in the awkward silence and held the girl's hand before standing up once again only to cast a nervous glare to the man. He could tell the other was an elf like himself, but he didn't think anything of it, he'd see on them around before— he trailed off on his thoughts before nodding his head quickly.

"Very, she will not speak either." He said, his eyebrows furrowing when he saw the mischievous smile on the other's face. He sensed the sarcasm, but didn't say anything against it and simply nodded slowly. He looked to the child and ran a few fingers through her hair to reassure her as the child shied away from the man, and it only made him grow more suspicious of what he had in mind. He swallowed harshly before walking inside, dipping his head gratefully to the man and let the little girl take her time in walking through the doors, squeezing her hand in reassurance before glancing to the man again, curious of what his plans were now and what he needed in return. 

@Jaejoong Zhou didn't perceive anything around him anymore, everything was blur through his tear-stained eyes. He could hear Jaejoong's voice and that cold touch that had become disturbingly familiar in their last two meetings. Partly out of curiosity, partly to distract himself he strained himself, concentrating on the words that slipped past the vampire's lips. And when he heard what he had to say, he just laughed. His mother? He speaks of his mother now? "Ha! She's already dead! She's gone and she left me behind! This.. this is nothing. You think I did not suffer worse than this??!!" Now that the end was near, the elf just let everything out. His words came out as choked, pained whimpers. His body arched itself as another shockwave coursed down his spine. He had suffered so much more than this already. Was it just because he was in physical pain now that someone noticed?

The pain did not ease even when Jaejoong used his power on him. For one, Zhou was extremely powerful, he and pretty much everybody else simply did not know since he could only use his ability in very limited ways. All people ever wished for was money and status, not much to do there but some simple Creation and Reality Warping. And secondly, the pain was induced by the contract. And the contract was unbreakable, meaning no power could overrule it. The elf screamed half in pain, half in frustration when the vampire urged him to simply accept his defeat. With the last bit of strength he could summon he pushed himself away from the man and hid in a corner of the room. "STOP CALLING ME THAT!!!!!" The elf slammed his fist against the stone brick wall. "I am not playing hide-and-seek with you," he snarled, "I'm done accepting your humiliations."

But why wasn't he dead yet? It hurt so much he was sure he'd be gone by now. Desperately, he began to slam his fists, his /head/ against the wall in an attempt to make it all stop. "WHY AM I NOT DEAD YET?!" Aah. The elf smiled and began to sink to the floor. It was so close now... just a little more... he just had to endure a minute more...

@Zhou Ah Niu Listening to the boy's smart remarks and seeing him smile in such a way that just brought more irritation to the man as he held the boy's hair. "If I feed you won't die... so what you're stating makes no sense Ah Niu..." He uttered softly, " So why don't you just behave and this will all be very p-" His words stopped as he watched the boy swiftly slice his hair to cut himself free is what shocked Jaejoong. It actually caused his eyes to open a little wider as he looked down at the loose hand full of hair he was holding. For as long as he could remember Ah Niu had long hair as if he had never cut it since it seemed too precious to him for him to even think of cutting it. It was beyond shocking at that point as Jaejoong watched the boy run out of the run.
Taking a deep long sigh, Jaejoong shook his head and casually walked after the boy. "You're such a fool..." He whispered to himself as his words were meant for Ah Niu as he ran away. Jaejoong wasn't in any mood to run after the boy so of course he would walk instead of wasting his energy running after him. All of this was troublesome, why couldn't the elf just deal with the fact that Jaejoong was going to get what he wanted no matter how much running and hiding he did? Deep down though, Jaejoong was worried, worried that the elf would end up dying for not filling his duty of the contract.
Of course hearing the boy's cries and screams of agony echo though the halls as Jaejoong trailed behind. "Ah Niu, you're not going to get every far the way you're going... and in the state you are in." He man said as if what was going on didn't faze him one bit. It was all so very tedious, following the boy just waiting for him to stop as well as seeing his servants and himself finally lock themselves in some cellar like room. Strangely enough, Jaejoong noticed a metallic object just a few feet from the locked door. It was a key that he noticed one of the servants drop as they rushed to 'safety.'
Slowly walking to the door, Jaejong carefully unlocked it before opening the door. Suddenly his ears filled with the elf's cries as he spoke, "This game of cat and mouse has come to an end." He stated as he noticed the boy's servants suddenly getting in front of him to guard their master. Slowly tilting his head, Jaejoong raised his hand and released a special type of Pheromone, one that man anyone within touching distance fall asleep. And sure enough anyone that had been blocking his way fell over and landed on the ground fast asleep. "Very loyal I must say..." He mumbled as he walked over to the screaming crying elf, kneeling down and gently cupped the boy's right cheek with his cold hand and whispered softly, " Your mother... she would be dying at the sight my eyes are laying on..." Jaejoong stated as he looked at the man's tear soaked face, " I'm sure you do not wish to suffer like this," The vampire whispered as his thumb softly d the boy's cheek as he now released a more calming relaxing pheromone into the air as he tried to get the boy to relax. "You've been caught Ah Niu, accept it like a man..."
