[center]Ryanair had entered the home with a mixture of relief and trepidation. He'd watched as Kieran had made his way upstairs, how Ynez hasn't moved from where she'd been when he'd arrived. Everyone had dispersed and Ryanair had found himself in the kitchen, he wasn't hungry but the need to do [i]something[/i] to calm himself was why he sat down on a stool and put the pots and pans away. He'd just finished when soft footsteps alerted him to someone within the kitchen, he rose and dusted his hands off as Clara entered. Her eyes met his own and Ryanair relaxed when he noticed the tense set of her shoulders, she was worried just as he was. 

Whether she wanted to admit it, they were siblings with the joined bond they shared with the one who'd turned them. He watched her leave and with a nod, he exited the room and headed for the stairs. Entering Kieran’s room the blonde vampire noted the shower running, he remained silent but picked up his sire’s discarded clothes from the floor. It had been a good fifteen minutes since he'd entered the room, Ryanair had moved towards the far window when the sound of the water shutting off filled the silence. His gaze was still trained on the untouched ground below, the blonde nearly jumped out of his skin when warm arms wrapped around his waist. 

This time it didn't feel like a kind embrace. Ryanair began to squirm, his gaze never lifting from the scenery outside. The lips that touched his skin had Ryanair sucking in a sharp breath, it wasn't gentle and it left a burning sensation across his skin. His mouth opened as if to speak, his arms lifting to pry away the ones that held him. He didn't get a chance, sharp teeth pierced his neck and Ryanair could only release a soft wounded sound from his throat. 

It hurt. 

He didn't want this. 

[i]Let go…. [/i] The words wanted to come but he couldn't move, the arms that held him squeezed tighter. He could feel their bond now and it made him want to scream, it was filled with so many emotions that Ryanair couldn't decipher ones from another. This wasn't the person he knew, his sire wouldn't be enjoying his fear and confusion like this person was. The arms and teeth vanished a moment later and Ryanair had to grab the arm of the chair closest to him so he'd remain on his feet, the fingers that curled under his chin had the blonde trying to pull away. Kieran’s fingers tightened warningly and with teeth grit he allows his face to be lifted upwards, his stomach fell to his knees when his eyes met blank ones. 

“Did I hurt you?” Were the words that left the other male's lips, Ryanair remained still and tried to squash the need to run. Kieran clicked his tongue and Ryanair flinched as if he'd been hit, he swallowed and shook his head in a no gesture.  The other male hummed softly and his free and reached up to trace his cheek, to others it would appear as a gentle caress but Ryanair was clenching his teeth. He could feel the heaviness of sleep pulling at him as he tried to squirm away from for touch, Kieran held him for a moment before a trusted smile pulled his lips upwards. “You'll forget most of this by morning anyway. Sleep now.” He said with in an almost soothing tone, Ryanair was slightly disgusted with himself when he eyes began to droop. The fingers that let go of his chin and cheek left a trail of agony traced into his skin, he didn't even notice when he fell into the coolness of sleep. 

The person before him wasn't his sire. Even in slept he didn't relax when he felt Kieran’s arms wrap around him and lift him up. This wasn't the same person he knew, it was a stranger.[/center]
