Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:48:19 +1000 From: Addisyn Draco Batchelor Subject: Ok. 24 This story is a work of fiction. any similarities are completely coincidental. 'Ok.' contains love and sex between teenage boys. Any mention of celebrities or characters from tv is not an assumption of their sexuality.The obvious thing if you don't like this is to go somewhere else. If it is illegal to read this where you're from please do the same. It also contains some coarse language, just coz it's hard to write naturally without writing the way I speak. Overall I'd rate it M for mature audiences, so if you're not old enough to be here, please seriously consider not being here. This is my first public submission, but please don't hold back. If you'd like to send me an email, I look forward to it - addisyn.draco@gmail.com. Thanks to Nifty, who do an amazing job helping writers be read. Donate if you can! Born Strange. We all woke up the next morning hungover, groggy and sore in so many different places. Dyl came racing into our room, jumping on our bed, yelling for us to wake up. Ax and I look at each other and crack up laughing. Vlad stumbles in a few minutes later, dressed in something that could only have come the wonderful mind of Dylin. It was quite obvious, because Dyl was wearing something similar. They looked really cute together. Once we'd woken up to the fact that we were awake, we raced to the room phone to order breakfast. And as much aspirin as possible. The terrible catch with being witches is that we can't heal or fix minor things like a headache, nausea or unfathomable exhaustion. We are, quite basically, human after all. Mortal wounds, it seems, Ax and I can fix. But the minor shit doesn't heal. It's a pretty good trade off for all the power anyone can dream of, so I'm not really complaining. The guy on the other side of the phone couldn't contain his laughter as we argued about what to get. I decide to put his foot down and say "Just give us a bit of everything, thank you." and put down the phone. There was a moment of silence before Dyl starts jumping up and down, racing over to hug me. That's when he started glowing, shifting into his wolf form. I don't think he realized it, because he kept going, crash tackling me to the ground. Then, Seto came running from his makeshift bed (A blanket under the sink). "No Seto, it's ok. He's not hurting him." Ax pleads. Seto keeps running, coming to a grinding stop in front of Dyl/Konrad. He takes a sniff and licks his face. All the humanoids in the room mellted into a puddle. I heard Vlad squeal a little. Dyl starts to change back, and Seto must have thought he was on fire or something, because he tried stomping him out. All you could hear was Seto yipping and growling softly, and Dyl screaming and swearing loudly. Ax was trying as hard as he could to restrain Seto, until Dyl was finished transforming. Then he jumped around like nothing happened, stopping to sniff Vlad. "Guys, where did the dragon come from?" Vlad asks, shaking a bit. "Oh, that was Axyl's birthday present. I made him myself!" Tobe says, grinning and acting like it was nothing. "Ohh. Ok. As good an explanation as any, I guess. Dyl, you look sexy as a wolf..." He says, changing the subject. Dyl was busy blushing and winking at Vlad, trying the keep his concentration long enough to dress himself. Tobe and I look at eachother and realise we're both naked. The room service will be here soon, and we silently agreed that the staff of this hotel had had enough of our gorgeous naked bodies. We don't really want to get a reputation. Within seconds we were fully dressed, dressing for the hotel, as Ax was still enforcing a lockdown. Vlad had a few days of holidays spare, so he called them in to stay with us. For some reason, he's a part of all of this. Zayk is one thing, but if we want to literally save the world, we need all the help we can get. It seemed the universe was lining it up so that we could survive, but as with all things in the universe, it's not going to be simple. We heard a knock on the door about 30 minutes later, and had an impromptu race to the door. Dyl won, of course. When food was involved, he's always first in line. The room service guy was laughing as we fell over eachother to get to the door after Dyl opened it. He recognized Vlad and waves. It wasn't the unfortunate looking one Vlad was avoiding last night. He was much cuter, almost textbook beautiful. We paid for our food, and unashamedly watched him walk out. And then we watched him walk down the hall, winking and waving. He turned around, blushing and waving, then disappeared around the corner. Poor boy, he'll probably be kicking himself for the rest of his life that he didn't try to instigate something. We all tuck in to the selection of breakfast foods we ordered, finishing everything in under an hour. Four hungover teenage boys can really go through a lot of food. Thank God I've got enough to pay for it. Stuffed, we sit around on the couch, laughing and smoking a post-breakfast cigarette each. I looked through the movies on the tv. We had a great selection of the newest movies, and some awesome Swedish movies too. We settled for 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' in Swedish with English subtitles, and sat down to watch it. About half way through the movie, Vlad asks, "So, how come you have witch powers Dyl? And Toby, have you always had them?" Damn. Busted, "Well, no. And Dyl hasn't always had them either. Sometimes, when a witch has sex with someone, a power transference happens. That's why Axyl can sing, and I can melt things with my mind..." I say, giggling at the last bit. "Oh. Then how come I don't have any other powers then?" "I don't know. Ax?" I ask. "Maybe it's because you're already an empath. It may cancel out our powers. Supernatural Empathy is a powerful gift, it's possible that it's too powerful to have in conjunction with a witches powers. Other than that, I haven't got a clue." Ax responds. Haha, haven't got a clue. Sounded like a pretty adequate explanation to me. "That makes sense. It's not fair, but it makes sense." Vlad says, looking dejected. Dyl puts an arm over his shoulder. "It's ok Vladi, I've got enough power for both of us." He says, grinning ear to ear. Vlad can't help himself, he starts giggling. "Maybe we should leave these two alone for a while, Tobe." Ax suggests. "We don't wanna be in the splash zone." I wink and say, "I thought you'd never ask."
