Lost {Pheo}

Adi was sitting outside alone. This was a very rare occasion. However, Aleksandr was gone and nobody else in the family really paid any attention to Adi which meant that when he left, Adi got to wander a bit. He looked around as he emerged from the forest.

There was a house not far away that Aleksandr told Adi never to go near... And Adi listened up until now. Why exactly was he not allowed here? It was a nice house... obviously owned by a wealthy family. Adi clung to a tree momentarily. He shook and his eyes threatened to roll back into his head. He was so hungry... But he had no fangs to feed with... at least not since Aleksandr pulled them out recently. They'd regrow but until then he was at his mercy.

Something about this place seemed familiar... It felt as though he had been there before and the scent was so familiar as well.

SPEECH COLOR
Pheo outside near his villa, mostly avoiding his family's arguing. He was loyal and all for family, but even the ancient vampire needed a breather from the whining from his brothers. So here he was, wandering the grounds of his home..feeling alone. You'd think he'd be used to it after so many years, but in truth Pheo Agosti felt as though something was missing. An important piece that made him whole. What that piece was..he didn't know or remember, but he knew he needed to find it again.

A scent reached him that wasn't his family's..but yet it seemed familiar to him. He couldn't place why it seemed familiar though, frowning a bit he walked towards it. He noticed someone clinging to a tree and blinked slowly, it was a man..a very weak one. Clearing his throat, he stepped into view. "Can I help you?"

Adi immediately looked down at the ground as he'd been expected for his entire life... since he could remember. He tried hard to keep himself on his feet but his vision was blurring. Adi knew he shouldn't have left...

I'm s-sorry... I didn't mean to bother you... Aleksandr told me not to come over here but I got curious...He bit his lip, not daring to take a look at the man. Aleksandr had said that everyone else was much worse than he was... and Adi believed it. He waited for something... a blow.... some kind of punishment for trespassing.

Pheo noticed how..submissive this stranger was, he let out a small sigh. He knew not all vampire families treated others with respect, he however was different. "It's alright..there's no harm done." That name..Aleksandr he wondered why it was familiar to him. Deciding to worry about it later, he looked back towards Adi and tilted his head a bit.

"You won't be harmed here..I promise. I'm..not like that anyway." He couldn't exactly speak for his twin but, Eros was not here at the moment. "What is your name?.."

Look for the light that leads me home. Tired of feeling lost. Tired of letting go. Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down. Tired of wasting breath. Tired of nothing left. Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down...

❞

Adonis... Aurelius... Adi whispered hoarsely. He wasn't used to speaking very much... and the roughness in his voice showed it. Well... it was from a combination of never talking and screaming quite a lot. It was obvious that this man had not had an easy life.

The wind rustled around them, whipping Adi's curly blond hair around. His hand shot up to cover up the spot on his head where his left ear used to be. It was something that really bothered him even to this day though he couldn't exactly remember how he lost it. Aleksandr had told him that he'd been a slave before and his master had cut his ear off. It seemed true enough...

SPEECH COLOR
"Adonis.." He tested out the name, a small frown appearing on his face. An image crossed his mind of a young shepherd in a field.. He shook his head, why did that image come to him? Thinking it was nothing of importance he looked towards Adonis once more, taking notice that he was missing his left ear.

"You don't have to hide your scars.. I have plenty of my own. By the way..I am Pheo, Pheo Agosti."

❞

Adi bit his lip until it bled, oozing down his chin and dripping onto the ground before him. He didn't want to think about that name... A series of emotions flooded Adi... sadness, anger, shock, disbelief, more heart-crushing sadness. He didn't remember him? But... how? Adi had waited so long for him to come save him from Aleksandr. It had been so long that Adi had started to forget about him, too even though he'd held onto Pheo's memory for several lifetimes. At first he thought that maybe Aleksandr was doing this to be mean to him.. it sounded like something that he'd do just to make life hard for him.

He slowly looked up at the man before him and nearly fainted. The image of Pheo's face in his mind had begun to fade slowly but surely over time. How could he have forgotten? Adi had spent so much time looking into those eyes, kissing those lips, pressed close to that body. His mouth hung open, exposing the gaps where his fangs would have been.

You don't remember... do you... He slowly reached to take Pheo's hand but was overcome by the anger he felt. He slapped him across the face. Adi had never done such a thing... not to Pheo. He'd his Eros a few times but that was completely different. It wasn't an overly hard slap considering how weak Adi was but it was enough to get the point across.

You remember a shepherd... in a field with goats. Don't you? You have to! Once... he... he got really sick from eating bad dates and you stayed even though I tried to get you to go out with your men and train. You had to carry me miles to a doctor. You have to remember me! Don't tell me that after all this time.. all this torture I finally find you and know you're alive and you don't remember the life we had together?! I waited and waited for you to come back but you never did! And then that monster came and slaughtered the entire village... He killed everyone else... And I waited... I thought you'd find me cause you said you'd always find me! He killed me! He's beaten me, raped me, ripped my teeth out, broken my bones, humiliated me but I still waited for you and you can't tell me that you don't remember me, Pheo! At this point tears were falling freely from Adi's eyes as he finished his rant.

I felt so dirty for so long. I wanted to die because with each day that monster forced himself upon me I felt that I was betraying you. I prayed that you'd forgive me from up in the heavens because I wasn't strong enough to fight him off... I never stopped waiting and loving you... I forgot how you sounded... and how you looked but I never once stopped loving you...

SPEECH COLOR
Pheo wasn't expecting the slap to his face, much less the yelling. Getting hit he could always handle well, living in Sparta..it was literally kill or be killed for him growing up. But it was the pain and sorrow he saw in Adi's eyes that he couldn't handle..he caused him pain, all because he couldn't remember his past anymore. As Adi went on his rant, Pheo could recall some of the things that he mentioned, like the shepherd..and the dates.

It was slowly coming back but not everything, it was as though something or someone wanted to make sure he'd never remember. He reached up and touched the spot where Adi had slapped him, he looked at Adi and wanted to do..something for him. "I'm..sorry.. I remember some of it..but I don't remember it all. I've always felt as though something was missing, something I used to have but..I could never find out what it was or who it was. You deserve to be angry and upset with me.."

❝

Look for the light that leads me home. Tired of feeling lost. Tired of letting go. Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down. Tired of wasting breath. Tired of nothing left. Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down...

❞

Adi watched him in disbelief. He couldn't wrap his mind around it. Adi felt his heart shattering; not that it was whole since he'd become a vampire to begin with. He finally understood... he had to run. Adi had to run so that Pheo wouldn't be killed by Aleksandr. He grabbed Pheo and pulled him down for a searing kiss... the last one he'd ever have with him before he took off running. Adi prayed that he wouldn't follow him. If he did... he might not see another day.

He ran as far as he could before he collapsed in the grass. He'd just rest for a few moments... But Adi knew he probably couldn't get back up. If nobody found him before the sun rose he figured he'd probably burn to death but he was ready. Adi touched his lips, letting his eyes close. He knew Aleksandr was growing tired of him... but his hunger for revenge against Pheo was still fresh as the day his anger began. Adi relaxed. His time was coming very soon in any case. He could tell by the way that the others looked at him that Aleksandr was planning on killing him.

Pheo was so taken a back by the kiss that he almost didn't react, but it somehow felt so..right. Not long into the kiss, he felt Adi pulling away and taking off running. "Wait!!" He growled, chasing after the other man..he just felt like he needed to. Memories or not..he felt something for Adi, he just was confused about it all. It was hard to remember an entire lifetime within minutes of realizing most of it was probably a lie.

He kept up with Adi, it wasn't very hard considering he knew how weak Adi was. He found him laying in the grass and without even thinking about it..he picked him up in his arms, holding him gently against him. "Stupid..you're too weak to run." He started back to his home, he would keep Adi there and bring him back to health..he just had to do it. "You're staying with me.."

Adi let Pheo pick him up. He knew he couldn't struggle against him. He was far too weak. And he wanted to be happy about being in his arms again... it had been so long and Adi had forgotten how it felt... how he felt safe in Pheo's arms. You are a fool... He will kill you... You're strong... there's no denying that. But he... he can mess with your mind... Replace your memories... make you think anything. If you don't let me go you'll die... I don't want you to die. I have to die so you don't...

Adi found himself closing his eyes and relaxing in his hold. Damn it. He was trying to be serious but now he just wanted to be in those arms forever. Don't sacrifice yourself for me... I'm not worth it... He whispered. Once upon a time Adi didn't feel that way about himself.. or at least it was to a lesser extent. So many years with Aleksandr had him thinking differently.

God, he just wanted to tear his heart out. This feeling Adi had... it was like none other. He'd never been so close to something he wanted so bad but knew he could never have because it would spell his downfall. He felt like he could just rip it out and then it would be all better. Tears continuously flowed from his eyes. He was happy that Pheo was still alive but so sad because well... he didn't remember him very much and that if Adi were to try and be with him again, Aleksandr would kill him; and Adi couldn't let Pheo die.

"Well I'm not about to let you die for me.." Pheo brought him inside of his home, glancing to some of his men he kept close within the perimeter at all times. He nodded to them slightly before heading into his own room, it was huge and well furnished, it was filled with things from ancient greece. Even Pheo's old armor was kept on the wall as a reminder of what he had done. He placed Adi on his bed and looked him over carefully, "How long has it been since you've eaten?"

Pheo ignored all of Adi's comments about leaving him, he may not have all of his memories but the ones he did have..made him realize this man was what he had been searching for. Adi was the piece to a puzzle that had become such a huge part of Pheo's life. He gently brushed some of his hair from his face, "I don't remember everything..but I do know that I feel..love for you. And that love..will not allow me to just let you die."

Drawn to the armor, Adi got up at best as he could and lumbered over there. He lightly ran his fingers over it with a look of longing in his eyes. I used to wait for you to get back just to strip this off of you... We were so happy... But I never understood... You could have had anyone and yet you chose me... He turned to look at him with eyes glassy with tears.

It's been... several months... I... I looked at someone and so he ripped them out so even if I was starving I couldn't... So I'd be helpless... Suddenly, something caught his eye. He picked up a ring. It was worn by time and not nearly as beautiful as it had been. This was mine... I lost it when Aleksandr attacked... He slid it on carefully as though he were afraid that it would turn to dust. He touched everything like that, afraid that it would disappear and that he'd wake up in his room and the Aurelius Villa.

The ring fit perfectly as it had when he was alive. It was my wedding ring... He whispered as he looked at it with a ghost of a smile on his face. After a moment Adi slipped it off almost as though it wasn't his. He sat back down on the bed, trying hard not to throw himself at Pheo.

Pheo watched him as he went over to his set of armor, images flashed in the back of his mind of what Adi was speaking of. The more he was near Adi it seemed the more he remembered things, all of the memories that had been so buried deep within his mind. "I didn't want anyone else..but you." He said very quietly as he looked over at Adi, remembering little by little..everything that he and Adi had ever done together.

Hearing that Aleksandr had ripped out Adi's teeth, he felt incredible anger over it. He would have ran out to search for Alek right then if he wasn't so worried about Adi now. Pheo caught sight of what Adi was holding..a ring, Pheo had always kept it for as long as he could remember..not really knowing why until now. It was Adi's wedding ring, something Pheo had specially made for him. "I kept it..not knowing why but now I do." He shook his head a bit.

"You need to eat..and I'll help you." He grabbed a knife from off of his dresser, he cut his wrist and held his arm up to Adi's lips. "Drink."

Once I had the rarest rose That ever deigned to bloom. Cruel winter chilled the bud And stole my flower too soon. Oh loneliness - oh hopelessness To search the ends of time For there is in all the world No greater love than mine.

❞

Adi's eyes turned red and he shut them tight, turning away from Pheo. Don't... I'm not supposed to... He prostested, trying with all his might to stay where he was. He held his breath to keep the enticing scent at bay. Pheo don't... He bit his lip.
