(I'm sorry the pun in the tittle I couldn't resist.)
Jace wasn't sure how long he had been here, awhile he was sure at least a few weeks. He had been locked in this cell unable to go anywhere or do anything. He was stuck and there wasn't anything he could do about it. Of course this wasn't for lack of trying more then once Jace had tried to escape this place but it was no use.
The blond haired male awoke vary early that morning to horrible pains in his belly. This had happened before now off and on it had been going on for days but it had never been like this. He curled in on himself as if that would make it stop one hand wrapped around his side. Something was wrong with him. He groaned and then the pain spiked and he cried out. It was loud enough he was sure even people above him on the other floors would hear it. Jace was so distracted by the pain he hadn't yet realized what was happening, the fact that his belly had pushed out slightly. It had been flat just the night before.
Jace heard the sound of the door open, the thought of an escape crossed his mind for the briefest of moments but how far would he get like this? He was still curled up on his side in this position his belly wasn't vary visible but the fact that he was in pain for some reason was.
(haha i kind of like that! thank you for starting =))
The vampire, Jareth, had almost forgotten about his prisoner of food. He had been in the library devouring a fresh glass of produce from one of his other abductees when he heard the scream. He swirled the glass with blood in it and set it down on the desk, standing up, he waved over his servants to ask about the distrubance. "What's with that? Is it from the dungeon...?" He thought back and recalled his freshest prey. A young man with blond hair that reminded him of sunlight, shiny under the lighting indoor when he met in. He himself had been platinum blond, resembling moonlight more. Standing up, he led the way down to the dark cell. "Come, let's see what's with our newest guest. Had he been in pain before?" He didn't recall hurting the man other than bringing him back to the mansion after their night together that knocked the young man like a baby. Jace, now he remembered the name. A lively young man with a scent peculiar, something in him was drawing him close, which was why he had chosen him and brought him back when he was in no urgent need of fresh food. It could be interesting, seeing him again now in his world and territory, no pretense required.
Jace managed to force himself up into a sitting position the pain had subsided, or at least it had dulled a bit. There were still occasional spikes but Jace found himself able to think properly again. His eyes fell on the doorway to the man that had brought him here. Jace's eyes narrowed. "What do you want?" He growled at the vampire. He eyed Jareth vary carefully looking him up and down. His belly was a bit more obvious in this position.
Jace was trying to act much tougher then he really was the pain had lessened considerably sense Jareth entered the room but it was still there. He wondered, had Jareth done something to him? Had he perhaps been poisoned? But then again, what sense would it make to poison your food supply.
Jace had been a mess. Though it still striked Jareth somewhere deep in his heart. He still found the young man attractive, despite how poorly he looked now. Walking in with steady steps, he waved away his servant, not even bothered to have him close the door. This cell had a small window, barred no less, but a window where you could see the Sun. He knew from experience human would need that to stay healthy, or the blood would taste much worse. There's something strange in the air, however, something underneatht he taste of fear and tiredness oozing out of Jace. Something foreign, still extremely faint, but it's there. The unthinkable crossed his mind as his eyes landed at the slight bulging on Jace's otherwise skinny body. He was beside the human in an instant, using his power, and cupped the belly slightly. Up close, the scent of Jace was enticing and strong. He would have showed his fangs had he not been drinking just now.
Jace tensed as the vampire was suddenly right beside him Jareth's hands on his belly. Jace wasn't sure how to react or what to do and for a long moment he stayed frozen. The pain had stopped completely, he wanted to pull away from the vampire but he was more afraid the pain would return then he was of whatever Jareth might do. After all, the man hadn't actually hurt him. Still, Jace was somehow aware he had done something, that what ever this pain was somehow Jareth had caused it. "What did you do to me?" Jace said no longer growling at the male but simply asking looking up at him, the expression in his blue eyes was hard to read.
"what's happening to you........." Closing his blood red eyes, Jareth heightened his senses to go over Jace's body, and finally located it. A new life, a new vampire, no, two new vamplings, resonating with his calling. He was very surprised and withdrew his hand, looking at Jace with a shocked face. "You... You are... Are you human?" He asked suspiciously. He had never heard of such thing, and pure human men were unable to carry. The only explanation would be Jace wasn't a pure human himself. The only way to know would be to taste his fluid, but if he was carrying, any bloodloss would be harmful, so he opted for the second option. Jareth cupped Jace's head and kissed him, drinking in his scent and devouring his taste.
Before Jace could even make a response he was being kissed. Once again he was to shocked to even pull away and only spoke when Jareth had pulled back again. Jace couldn't help but notice his shocked expression and wondered why? "Of course I'm human." Jace said shaking his head. "What would make you think otherwise? What? Whats wrong with me?" Jareth knew something and jace wanted to understand he wanted to know what exactly was going on.
That very faint taste of Jace confirmed his supsicion. This human's indeed bearing his children, a subtle change in his taste was all he needed as proof. Jace must have an ancient ancestor with vampire blood so that he had the ability to do so. He was quite at a lost himself, he had never thought of the possibility nor fell in love with anyone enough to make chidlren with. Though now that it was confirmed, it wasn't possible for him to be leaving his bearer and his unborn vamplings down here in the dungeon. He quietly stood up and picked Jace up in his curled up form. "You.. . Let's do this in a proper room." He sighed and couldn't believe he was faced with such an unexpected turn of event. "This is very unexpected for me as well. And perhaps... you have earned your exit pass." He looked down at the young man and once again marvelled at how good he looked, even by vampire standard, and walked up towards the well lit hall up the flight of stairs. "Do close your eyes, it's bright outside."
A strange turn of events indeed. Jace didn't really understand what was happening but he was not going to protest if he was getting out of here. As the left the cell Jace closed his eyes but even as he did so he was aware of the bright lights. Strange, in a way they seemed much brighter then normal but perhaps that was simply because he had spent a long time in the darkness. "What is unexpected?" He knew that the vampire would tell him but it was taking him forever to do it and Jace's mind began to wander. What if he was dying or something? Jace tried vary hard not to panic. as he was brought up stairs.
The vampire gently pressed the human's head down on his chest as he moved across the threshold to the hall, crossing it he got through to another flight of stairs, up to the private quarters of his. "you are.... you are carrying my young. in your body." He said, ffinding himself making a stupid remark. He glanced down on the belly that's barely there and wondered how Jace would take it. Probably laugh it off. It would be ridiculous for Jace to accept that he, a man, could be carrying.
Jace shook his head. "That isn't possible, haven't you realized by now what gender I am?" He shook his head looking back at the vampire. "you gone crazy or something? Because encase you haven't noticed thats not really possible." Jace almost thought the vampire was just playing with him trying to worry him or scare him somehow.
Entering the bedroom he sat down on a loveseat facing the fireplace, putting Jace sideways on his lap. He moved his hand down to cover his chest, knowing they would be hyper sensitive now. "You felt bloated? Your belly and chest both? I don't joke easily, not on something as serious. Time would tell." He said quietly. His vamplings would be growing up quick, much faster than would a normal gestation, depending on how much the human's body could take and how stable the supply of energy from himself was. Counting back the days, it had been almost 3 weeks since their encounter, and normally the gestation would last from 3 to 6 months.
He did, but that was besides the point those things could be explained, surly there was a way to explain this that was reasonable. He couldn't have a child, it didn't make sense but he wasn't going to argue with the vampire about it. Instead he just shook his head studying him. IF not for the fact he was quiet distressed at the moment he might have actually found this relaxing. He was tired, what ever it was that was wrong with him had taken a lot of his energy after this morning. Jace didn't want to fall asleep around the vampire but if he stayed like this he knew he would so instead he pushed away a bit and sat up. "You... you are vary strange.." He said softly.
Jareth frowned getting pushed away, though he released the human on his lap, not wanting to fight over such trivial with his bearer. He had to treat him differently now, when Jace was with precious cargo. "You are very strange as well. I had never met someone who's like you...." He murmurred looking down at the imperceptable belly. His children were growing fast, but not fast enough, not with their father's absence early on in the pregnancy. He would have to come up with ways to compensate for that inadequacy.
For a long few moments Jace still said nothing, really there wasn't much he could say. "you could have picked anyone at that club, how come you chose me?" The thought had crossed his mind before now and his mouth had spoken before he could think any better of it. However, despite everything he did not believe that Jareth would hurt him. and he would belive it even more so if somehow, his words were true and he was carrying babies. There was a part of him, that knew this to be true but it defied the logic Jace knew and he couldn't just accept Jareth's words.
"There's something about you......" Jareth started, now looking up, first lingering on Jace's lips that's chapped and pale now, finding the urge to moisten them with his own, then finally up to his eyes that had drawn him even closer after the brilliant hair. "I couldn't say for sure myself, but there's something unique about you. Perhpas your hair, your smile, just... you." He gently caressed his face that was looking exhausted, wondering himself on where the urge to take care of the human came from.
Jace wasn't sure how to respond he remained quiet, staying close to the vampire. "Something about me hu?" Perhaps Jace could have said the same thing about him. A few times he tried more questions or to say something else but what was there to go over? As much as he tried to fight it he eventually gave in to sleep. It would be almost nightfall before he awoke again he sat eyes grazing the room signs of the vampire. He hadn't meant to fall asleep like that. "
The vampire had been watching over the human's sleeping form after putting him on his own bed that he never shared with someone else, let alone a human. He was lost in thought as he watched on, not entirely sure himself on how tp deal with the situation. With the vamplings due to come in a few months,he had limited time figuring out how he should be treating not only the situation, but the impending new life and potentially a new mate in life. He had gone out to fetch some ancient scrolls, trying to drill more information about the peculiar phenonenon.
(How bout Jareth didnt know his proximity would alleviate pain on Jace at this stage?)
(Works for me.)
The other male was nowhere to be seen. Jace looked at the time only to realize how late it was. He put his legs over the side of the bed and stood up crossing the room. The door was unlocked he was free to look around and perhaps finally figure out a bit more about where he was. At least, that was the plan but in moments the pain from before had returned. Jace doubled over one hand on the wall the other pressing against his belly. He droped to his knees groaning loudly. Something was vary wrong with him he was shaking trying to force himself to think straight.
Jareth was reading an aged manuscrpti in the library and seeping his little drink when something tugged him in his heart. He wondered what that was about and decided he could continue his reading in the room with Jace, so he started his way down the corridor. he seemed to be hearing some pained groan it sounded remote and unreal. He frowned and pressed on a little faster, suddenly feeling the urge to be together with his bearer.
Right when he turned the corner to the master bedroom, the groans became quite distinct and was for sure from Jace. He shadow walked into the room and was startled by how Jace was bending over in obvious distress, and was quick to catch the human. "JAace? What's wrong?"
