Fire Tongue

Chapter 8

Sitting up whimpering Hadrian raised a small delicate hand to run a finger over the rope around his neck only to find that it wasn't a normal rope it was gold in both texture and color. How odd it was that the rope kept his movement to a minimum yet it was only wrapped around his neck with a three foot leash. Sighing Hadrian laid up against the wall slowly staring out the window. He was being sold to some random person who would pay the highest price

This time: -With Draco and The Twins-

As the sun reached through the window in small bright tendrils did two sets of identical eyes opened and twin grins spread across their freckled faces in mischief. Leaning forward in unison they both latch onto the pale neck between them eliciting a moan from their lover. Grey eyes opened and a smile spread across the Ex-elf's face.

His lips parted as he greeted them, "Fred, George, my loves I'm sorry I disappeared last night."

The twins shrugged and snuggled up to him frowns marring their features. They reached up and traced first his ears and then where his horn had once sat.

Reading their questions he answered softly, "Last night my charge was at Deaths door. After so much time and work the childe was going to die…I couldn't let him. I…I gave him my immortality. I am mortal I will live no more than you two. He deserved it, he needed it. I'm sorry"

Fred lifted a finger to his lips and shushed him gently as George kissed his cheek and in unison the twins pulled the blonde boy back down to the sheets gently and lovingly. They showed him exactly how much that did not mean to them.

Two sets of identical hands unbuttoned the pristine white shirt slowly fingers brushing over the dark red dry patches of blood slowly as the young blonde keened lightly in pleasure pert nipples caressed by experienced fingers as another hand dips lower to trace along the edge of the pants.

A soft whimper caused both red heads to give identical grins before Fred kissed their smaller lover lovingly as George latched onto a pearly nipple lapping at it gently. Pale hands reach up to entangle in bright red hair pulling them closer with a moan of excitement and passion. The curtains close encasing them once again in darkness and secrecy.

-With Hadrian-

Hadrian stared out of the window even now he could see the black carriage coming toward the house. It was drawn by two beautiful brown mares their harnesses a shimmering gold.

Sighing he tugged at the rope one last time with a soft whimper. Standing he walked back over to the pale of water looking into its depths the once silver sheen was now darkening like a glow going out, though they were less noticeable than before they were still easy to see against the dark tan of his skin.

Slowly he looked back to the door as he heard footsteps grow closer. His uncle's footsteps he backed up into the corner as the door was thrown open revealing his beefy uncle and another man.

This other man was tall and thin yet well built with a runner's physique. His eyes were a burning red and his hair a deep rutty brown. The man smiled a crooked grin that did not look to be inviting in the least. With a sneer his uncle grabbed the rope and pulled hard causing Hadrian to fall to the ground with a soft yelp, "Come on Boy time for you to no longer be my PROBLEM!" with a growl the young elf was pulled from the room and through the house before being tied up and thrown into the carriage his head knocking against the other side of the carriage.

He whimpered lightly before listening in on the exchange of words his uncle had with this new stranger whose name was apparently, Lord Riddle.

Laying his head on the floor of the carriage he waited patiently as Lord Riddle slipped back into the carriage closing the door with a sickening creek. As the carriage moved Hadrian braced himself so he didn't move only to jump in surprise as the ropes keeping him tied where removed his ears twitched as the voice of his new 'master' reached him, "Sorry young elf I had to get you out of there. Are you well childe?"

Sitting up the black haired boy turned to him bright green eyes wide with curiosity and fear.

Chuckling, the larger man smiled, "Oh come now you really don't think I'm like that whale of a relative of yours! None sense I am Tom Riddle a Lord of a small Plantation not far from the palace. And you young one need to tell me your name so that I can call you as such. Then when we get to my house we shall get you a bath drawn and a new outfit then you can rest before we go to the ball tonight."

Hadrian's head shot up as he looked at him in surprise only getting a large grin in reply "Oh come now you don't think I would let you miss the last night of the ball! It is the final night and I'm sure you would enjoy it after all you have been spending a lot of time with the prince. I was there after all of course it didn't take much time to put it together. After all the shape of your mask matches the scars on your face." Smiling Hadrian slipped into the seat across from the man as Tom continued "It takes a lot to be a strong soul such as you. Jasper will be lucky to have you of course so let's just concentrate on that shall we? Ah we are here"

Smiling Hadrian turned to look out the carriage window his mouth open in amazement as his eyes fell upon the most wondrous sight.
