Creatures of the Night ((Closed))

[Aspy Ink]

Alex frowned as Nicoli left the cabin, and she looked over to Asher quietly."Did I make him too mad, Asher?"She asked him quietly, staring down tobher hands.


Asher sighed as he watched him leave, and turned to Alex, shaking his head."No. He needs to return to the clan, and now's as good as time as ever."He said as he sat down beside her and covered her with the blanket, stroking her hair softly.

 

[FangAndOzy]

'I'm sorry Alex. I do not know how to protect you and I do not know what to do.' He says as he walked away from the house. Hoping she could feel and hear the thought as mates were supposed to. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

'You have been protecting me Nicoli! My own stubbornness did this to me. Not you. Don't feel like this is your fault, please. It's nobody's fault. Don't hate yourself over this. And don't stay away long. I need you with me....' Alex communicated this in return. The mind link between the two of them, worked just fine. The only difference was, her voice was weaker due to her injury, but the voice was clear.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli felt like he was breaking and found himself sinking to his knees just out of sight of the house. 'It is my fault Alex. As your mate I should be able to help you and to help you heal. Instead I have failed you. I have failed Ember too, leaving her to Asher, which I'm sure he prefers anyway. But you...you are my life now and I cannot even get you to lie down and rest for a day.' He whispers, bowing his head. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

'Nicoli! I'm stubborn! You are helping me heal! If you hadn't have been with me, I wouldn't even have been able to even leave the bedroom! Asher is her mate. Just like you said, his job is to protect her, love her, and support her. Just like you do with me. Without you Nicoli, I would be dead by now. You haven't failed. It's just my stubborn streak. I'll lie and rest for the day, even more if that's what you want. I want to make you happy. That is my biggest priority. To love you and make you happy.' She was quick to reply to him, as she closed her eyes, letting out a deep breath as she curled up on the large couch, pulling the blanket to her neck softly as Asher left to get her something for her pain.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli hit the ground in frustration with himself. 'Please do not leave the house until I return. And if you can manage it please rest the whole time too. I do not plan to be gone long.' He promises. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

'I won't leave the house. I will rest just like you want me too. I promise. I'll make sure to stay out of trouble until you return." She replied to him, taking the pain killers from Asher, before she closed her eyes to try and sleep.

 

[FangAndOzy]

'Thank you...and I'm sort Alex. I love you.' He says, though it was more of a whisper this time. He stayed how he was a moment longer before getting to his feet and forcing himself to keep moving away from the house and Alex. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Alex didn't respond, as she had already fallen asleep, oblivious to Asher carrying her back to her bed where she would be less likely to fall off and hurt herself.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli was gone two days total before he could return. Zephira and Obediah were furious with him, not surprisingly. They knew there was nothing they could do now but they were not pleased. 


To his dismay he had seen Ember only once in that time. Seth was keeping her busy and the time he did see her she seemed dead tired. He knew Asher would be upset and he'd tried to get Ember a pass to visit him, but he'd been unsuccessful. So he headed to the house. Thrilled to see Alex. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Alex was passed out cold, in a deep sleep, laying on her stomach on her bed. The pack doctor had come in, given her a mild sedative instead of pain killers, and left her to sleep. So, Alex was just beginning to wake up as Nicoli returned after about six or so hours of unwanted sleep. Asher had been busy with many duties that their second in command had given him, so he didn't see her much, and Kyle just so happened to be the wolf that Jason assigned to care for her while Asher was busy. Kyle had just made some good, and was walking upstairs with the tray of food in nothing but a pair of sweatpants when Nicoli entered the house. And Alex was wearing pj shorts and a button up sleep short for easy access to her side.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli looked to Kyle as he walked in and then frowned deeply. "Why are you here?" He asks simply, noting how he was dressed and then the tray of food. "Where Asher?" He adds. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

"Busy. The second in command has him doing a bunch of shit so I'm in charge of taking care of Aly."He had come up with that nickname, and thought Alex wasn't fond of it, he kept using it."Don't sorry. The doc came by and gave her some stuff and checked her wound."He muttered before entering Alex's room where she was trying to shake off the horrible medicated drowsiness she was stuck in from the sedative the doctor gave her. She hated that Kyle was here. He had even slept beside her last night. His excuse was to make sure she wouldn't hurt herself."Aly. I've got some food for you."

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli growled and followed Kyle upstairs. "Well, luckily for you, I'm here now. You can go." He says to Kyle, dismissing him. "I'm surprised you let that doctor anywhere near her. He doesn't give two-shits about her." He grumbles. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

"Yes he does! He takes care of everyone in this pack! He wouldn't let her die."He muttered, before looking over to Alex, who was struggling to move any of her numb limbs. The sedative had been stronger than she thought."Guess whatever the doc gave her to help her healing process must some pretty heavy medication."He stted as he set the tray on the table, and then walked over to Alex, gently trying to help he into a sitting position. "Nic...."Alex's words were slurred, from too much of the sedative. She could hear him, smell him, and see hi. She was so happy he was here."It's alright Love, I'm sure it'll wear off soon."Kyle said smoothly, not caring that Nicoli was in there while he was basically flirting with a half out of it Alex. Anybody who knew anything about medicine, would know that she had been given a very heavy sedative.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli snarled. "Back off from her you SOB." He snaps. He moved towards Alex, he was worried for her. "Alex how are you feeling? How much did that bastard doctor give you?" He asks. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

"Hey! I've been here when you haven't! I've managed to actually keep her in the bed aside from her shower last night!"He argued. Obviously, he had some obsession issues."Ges not a fucking bastard! He came and he helped her ease the pain!"


Alex gave a small, drowsy shrug."No clue...."Every word slurred together as she spoke."I think....he came last night....or early this morning...."Hee muttered as her eyes closed, and she opened them again."My side hurts..."She muttered softly to Nicoli, frowning as Kyle moved to unbutton her shirt and check the wound. Obviously, she did not like him looking after her. She didn't like being around him when she was so weak to whatever he wanted to do. Including the very assisted shower last night.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli could feel her discomfort and it only angered him more. "Kyle get out of this room. Back away from her and stay out." He snarls. He moved over to Alex's other side and gently took her hand in his. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Kyle growled."I was assigned by the Alpha to take care of her! And that's just what I will do! I think Jason is absolutely stupid to allow you and any other vampire you bring along, into our land with no fucking care!"


Alex growled softly as Kyle continued. She couldn't do much, but she mustered enough of her drained energy, to speak to Jyle."Fuck off! He's my mate! You're so lucky I don't try and kill you right now!"This took much of her energy, and she closed her eyes, leaning against Nic."Nic....I don't like this...I think he gave me a sedative....a strong one....and I can't get rid of the fogginess in my head and my side is sort of sticky against my bandages..."She muttered softly, before glancing over to the empty cup on her tray. She grabbed it when Kyle hadn't moved, and checked it at him, it landed square in the face. However, Alex felt even more searing pain after the throw.

 

[FangAndOzy]

"Shh," Nicoli cooes gently. He kissed her forehead. "Just lean back and rest, I'll take care of it." He promises gently. He looked to Kyle. "You want to be useful. Get these plants and make them into a tea for me." He snaps. He grabbed a pad and pen and wrote them down and what they looked like, then handed the list to Kyle and shoved him out the door, shutting it behind him. He turned back to Alex and moved to make sure the stitches hadn't come undone. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Alex nodded softly and leaned back against the headboard. She was glad he was back."I don't like Kyle taking care of me."She muttered as she watched him. The puss was causing the sticky feeling as it dried to the bandage. The stitches were fine, and the wound was fairly clean aside from the draining puss which wa her body making sure it cleaned out the wound basically."He didn't give me anything for pain....he just knocked me out."She muttered slowly as she watched him.


Kyle growled but snatched the list from him and went to retrieve the plants for him. He didn't want to help Nicoli, but he did care for Alex, and so he went to find those plants."It hadn't been well cleaned since the morning day before yesterday before Asher left."She said softly."Kyle is horrible at cleaning it. He just dumps the disinfectant on it."She winced T the thought. It hurt so bad when did that.

 

[FangAndOzy]

"Oh Alex, I'm so sorry." Nicoli murmers, running his fingers through her hair. He then moved to remove the bandage. It looked well and it was healing properly. "I'm going to clean it out okay? The plants I sent Kyle after will help the sedative to wear off and work as pain killers. I brought some medicine from my clan but I don't want to use it until the sedative has worn off." He says gently as he got a basin of water and a clean rag to gently wipe away the oozing pus. "Let's let this air for a little while, does that sound okay?"

 

[Aspy Ink]

Alex nodded."That sounds just perfect to me."She said softly."I'm so glad you're back Nic....I don't feel safe being alone with Kyle when I'm so weak..."She muttered, wincing a bit, before she leaned her head back, and closed her eyes, tired of fighting to keep them open.


Kyle returned with the plants, and walked up the stairs."I got your plants.@He muttered, watching Nicoli quietly."The doc already took care of the wound."He said, before his face became puzzled at the deathly glare that he received from Alex.


'If it won't hurt your wound, I don't care if you punch him. He'd deserve it.'Alex spoke these words through their mind link, with a small smirk on her face. 

 

[FangAndOzy]

"The doctor could care less about her Kyle." Nicoli grumbles as he looked over the plants to make sure they were what he needed. "If you'd make these into a tea, they'll help with her pain. Just boil water and the plants together, strain the water when it's done boiling." He instructs. Hoping kyle would do it for Alex. He then sat at Alex's side again, a slow smile spreading across his lips at her comment. 'As much as if love to hit him, it's helpful to have him getting everything together.' He says Through their link with a quiet chuckle. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

'Then do it after he finishes the tea.' She said simply, smiling as she saw the smile on his face. She planted a soft kiss to his cheek, before resting her head against his chest. She was so glad that he was back. She wasn't sure for how long though.'How is your wound doing? Is it getting any better?' 


Kyle grumbled."Fet off your lazy ass and do it yourself."He huffed, then went downstairs to make the tea. He hated Nicoli so much. But if it would help Alex feel better, than he'd make it for her.
