Dragons Den Original

Twiska blinked as she knocked again, "Kira... It's me.... Twiska." She said softly. "Beuro and I are here... can we please come in?" She called.

Beuro waited as it was only a short amount of time before Erebus went destructive and just killed himself all together.

Kira blinked, not expecting them, but she placed the knife down and opened the door, ".......................Did he send you here?" she asked.

"....................Why are are you both here?" she asked, she honestly hoped they were not here to lecture her or what not, she wasn't in the mood.

twiska smiled, "Well we stopped at Erebus's placed first... but...." she said looking down not sure how to say it.

Beuro looked at Kira, "You have to see him yourself.... He went full dragon mode. Apparently since you left, he hasn't eaten, drank water. He's pretty much dying in the dungeon with all his money." He stated to her.

Twiska looked and noticed her baby bump. "Were not here to find out what happened between you to, but I know if you stay here any longer... You'll die from Erebus just slowly killing himself." She said, "He never cut the bond of the mate between you two." She explained.

Beuro motioned for the portal, "It's you're choice... Though I figured you two had a fight, not something that would almost kill him. Erebus has too much pride, whatever he did to upset you, I'm sure he regrets it, but at the same time he won't make the effort to fix it if you're really upset with him." He stated.

Her eyes widened, she forgot about the bond, ".....I thought he kept it on to find me or something....." she was surprised, "...............Is he in a bad state?" she asked.

"We didn't have JUST a fight Buero, He THREW me into the dungeon after he was angry with me, because I was UPSET! He DIDN'T care that I was carrying his child!" she said, ".....yes I acted bratty......but it doesn't give him right to do that to me....." she said. ".......I'll go.....but if he starts acting up I'm not staying...I've this one to worry for." she said, touching her belly. She got a cloak on and got heading to the portal.

beuro looked at her, "Look as a Demon I don't care what you two go into. It's non of my business." he stated, "But I care about Erebus because he's the reason he keeps Demons out of certain areas. He's the gate keeper of hell. If he dies... Well that gate will be opened to demons to the human world. There will be no human world if he doesn't keep it in check." He stated at her.

He followed. Twiska following.

~!~

Lilith heard the portal and noticed Kira. She glared at them, "Well looks like you found her...." She stated.

Beuro growled, "Enough Lilith... You may leave, You'd done you're job." He stated.

Lilith rolled her eyes but just passed Kira ready to leave, "Good luck." She stated.

Erebus was roaring in the dungeon as he felt fire loose, letting the gold melt around him. He could sense her back in the castle, but he was too weak to shift or do anything. He was still furious as well. He roared.

Beuro looked at Kira and motioned for her to go, "Well..." He stated. "If you care about you baby and you're livelihood, Than I would suggest you keep that mate of you're alive." he said.

Twiska glared at him, "Beuro! being more sensitive." She stated.

Beuro glared at his own wife. "Darling... " He tested

Twiska kept her mouth such as she looked at Kira, "Just... be careful.... We've known Erebus the longest, and honestly... Not even Beuro has seen him in this state." She said, "Maybe be more sensitive to him.?" She asked her.

Kira sighed and walked on through, not showing she was truly worried at this point.

--

When she saw Lilith, "........What the hell are you up to?" she glared at her, knowing why she would be here.

She watched her leave, making sure she was gone. She sighed and shook her head, "Bitch."

She approached the door of the treasury, "......." she gasped a little seeing the state he was in, she hadn't seen him in dragon form. ".....He mentioned about his dragon form.......But he's in a sorry state...."

"..............Erebus...." she spoke his name.

Erebus growled as he couldn't communicate. His bones showing through his skin. His energy as he fell, his body completely weak. He hissed at her. His eyes cold black. He didn't make a move on her as he growled.

He could sense his child. He eased away as he looked at her. He was slowly coming through as he moved away from her, 'what do you want' he stated to her, his voice deeper in his mind as he looked at her. He was on high alert, he wasn't sure what to expect since he locked her away.

'.......................I'm not here to harm you...if that's what you believe.........I'm here to ask you to...not die.....If we die.....so does this little one.....Its not his fault we are have trouble.....' she said touching her belly, her child is her number one concern, not wanting the baby to die because of their stubbornness.

She walked close, not afraid of him, "Erebus....why didn't you break our bond?" she asked him honestly.

Erebus hissed, 'because...' he was about to start but felt weak. He kept strong as he noticed just how much bigger she was, 'I wanted to wait till after the child was born... If I cut it off before he was born, my magic is whats holding you to carry him safely... If that magic was cut, you'd be dead already' he stated. he grumbled as he felt sick to his stomach.

he turned his head away from her, 'after I know he's safely born since I can sense him where ever you are. I'd know before anyone else. I'll cut the ties.' he stated, 'thats what you want right?!' he growled at her.

Beuro was about to step in but Twiska stopped him.

Erebus was hurt, he was showing it, but he didn't care. his heart was melted a bit from Kira being around him. But the fact that no matter what he did to make her happy, it wasn't enough. 'just go. I won't die till I know he's born.' he told her.

"Erebus....I left MAINLY because I was worried for our child......I didn't want him to see us arguing.....and I was UPSET that night...I need to tie ALONE.....You lost your patience...I understand that.....But please...don't let this break you..........." she urged him.

"......If I had know this is what would have happened to you....I would NOT have left." she stepped closer. "And Right now I'm NOT leaving.....you're not in a state to tell me to leave...."

Erebus growled, "You left for 4 MONTHS! You wanted you're space, you got it! You took MY child away for 4 months. How the fuck do you think I felt?!"

He felt more weak as he couldn't keep talking. 'whatever... do whatever you want.' he grumbled as he laid with his gold. He closed his eyes as he slept for a bit.

Beuro walked up to his friend as he brought food, "Will you at least eat?" He asked him.

Erebus opened one eye and nodded, but close his eye again to rest. his depression was getting worse.

Beuro looked at Kira as he sighs, "Well were going to go. Whatever you two decided is you're choice. I wish you Luck kira if you wish to be on you're own. Though I hope that after thing you've learn to show if you even cared for the father of you're child." he stated.

Twiska looked at Erebus sad state. She turned to Kira and hugged her and smiled, "It'll be okay." She told her.

"YES I left......but how you treated me....HOW could I stay?" she asked him.

"If my life is in danger than SO is my baby............I need to watch out for him first." she said, "But I'll be staying to see you well again....even if you hate me for it." she said.

She sighed and hugged Twiska and they were alone again.

".................." she went to the kitchen and got cooking a big batch of stew, something that would be filling and strength building, lots of meat. She came back and placed the bowl in front of him. "You need to eat."

Erebus growled as he didn't want to eat. 'I'm fine' he stated as he closed his eyes.

'did it even accord to you how you treat me sometimes... you embarrass me in front of my comrads you tell me you can kill something you don't, you're brother disrespects you mate, On top of everything else I have to deal with you're major mood swings even if you are pregnant, I don't have patience for stupid shit like that. I give you what you what, I try to give you missions to help you cope with living with a Demon.' he growled as he was vent and needed to stop, 'Enough!' he said more to himself as he turned away from Kira, 'Leave me.... I'll eat later' he told her as he swished his tail in an agitated manner.

He still couldn't talk as it was more grumbles, growls and hisses. he huffed as he heard her words as he played them back in his head, 'if my life is in danger than so is my baby.... so I'm just a danger to her...' he thought as he leaned down holding his gold close to him.

"......Erebus I told you what happened on the mission....My brother used magics that I can not GO against....it would have gone against what I was raised to know....I WANTED to kill the damn demoness....I did....but he'd changed his way of thought and it was confusing for me...........as for the mood swings....you do the EXACT some thing and I have to deal with it too....I ADMIT i was bratty....." she said to him.

"You said to Buero that you would eat....please do as you said you would..." she stood and left, "I'll be close by." she said. Once she left the dungeon and wiped her eyes, ".........No...no more tears...you can't let it get to you...." she said as she went to a sore bedroom, not wanting to be in their old room.

Erebus ate the food, but didn't come out of the dungeon. It was a pathetic site. even his goblin servants were sad for their master. The looked at their mistress as he pulled at her dress trying to get her attention, "mistress no love master?" one asked. The others kinda crowed behind him as they were still scared of her. She hasn't treated them nicely since she came to the palace.

With Erebus being weak Lilith portal into the dungeon without Kira knowing. "Hey.... you doing okay?" She asked him softly as she sat next to his head.

Erebus hugged, "it's whatever..." He told her softly as he looked at her, "First you leave me, now she does too... I'm just a danger." He told her.

Lilith looked at him as she stroked his head, "Yeah but I left for different reasons, we were mutual on that remember?" She asked him.

Erebus grumbled. Lilith laughed as she patted his head, "You love this one don't you...."She said as she continued to stroke his head to easy him.

Erebus purred in his throat as he enjoyed the touch. "So what if I do...." He stated glaring up at her.

Lilith smiled as she kissed his large snout. "Nothing... It's cute, though maybe you should apologize for being a dick." She said "I'm not saying she was in the right for leaving you... but maybe it's time you be a bigger demon than that human and actually apologize for being a dick." She said.

Erebus grumbled as he turned his head away.

Lilith sighs as she could hear Kira and portal out of the dungeon.

"......I do love the master............" she said in a sad tone. "....But I sad....and scare he doesn't love me any more...."

Kira then heard a portal, '..........if that's who i think it is.' she thought and growled heading down, "I've enough of her...." she headed down and heard the portal again, ".........." she looked around, "............." she saw she left right away, so didn't shout. She got his empty bowl and was going to leave without talking, thinking he wasn't in the mood.

Erebus grumbled in his sleep... "love you.... Kira...." He said as he snored a bit, He was hurt, but he still loved her as he slept, keeping his body tightly packed together.

The goblins followed Kira, "See!!! Master Love Mistress still. No be sad!" They all cheered, but realized they might wake him.

She phased hearing his mumbles, she placed the bowl down. She looked at the goblins, "SHHHHH! I heard him, calm down." she hushed them but couldn't help but smile, "I'll watch him, go on to the kitchen." she said to them.

She sat next to him, gingerly then got caressing his head, "............I'm sorry..." she said to him quietly.

Erebus could feel Kira's touch as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, "Me too..." He stated softly as he had enough energy to shift into his human form. His muscles was gone, his rib cage showing. His hair was almost white. He gasped as he felt sick to his stomach as he looked at her, He looked at the goblins as they started to head for the kitchen. He looked at her belly and touched it softly and felt a hard kick.

He had a small smile as he closed his eyes feeling tired.

She teared up seeing him in the state he was, "I did this to you......." she held him close, "............I'm sorry...." she sniffled, "I won't leave....I won't leave again....." she said.

"You need to stand Erebus.......You can't recover in this room." she said, "I know you are tied but you need to go the bedroom." she said with a sniffle.

Erebus raised a brow at her as he never seen her so emotional. He shrugged as he listened to her and got up and leaned against her for support. he walked silently to their old room.

The room was completely destroy, "I guess I need to fix this room and you're old training room." He grumbled. He went to the bed which had shredded sheets. He laid down as he looked at her, "Stop crying, you're freaking me out women." He grumbled as he felt tired.

"..........Erebus....I'm upset! I blame MYSELF for this....I can't help it!" she said, "....I'm saddened by how you are now." she said, sniffling. And she sighed, wiping her eyes, "I'm HUMAN....I've EMOTIONS...Its how we are......" she said.

She went to head rout, not wanting to argue again.

Erebus groaned as he laid back in bed as he watched her leave, 'damn you women.' he sighs as he slept. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes still black as he hasn't gotten complete control over his own body. He sighs as he wasn't sure what to do next. He guest he'd have to find out after Kira had the baby. He sat up as he noticed his body in horrible shape. He wasn't too hungry as he sat up and decided to go the kitchen and grab something small to eat. He walked out of the bedroom. Not sure where his mate was.

He got to the kitchen as he looked and noticed a box. he blinked as it had his name on it. He opened the box and inside was a letter. He glanced over at it and saw that it was Twiska handwriting. He looked at the chocolate covered strawberries. He took a bite as he forgot the taste the last 4 months. He wasn't sure how to feel. He enjoyed the taste, but the last time he ate one was when Kira left. It left a bitterness taste to it.

He went back to the bedroom as he noticed that Kira was looking for him. He didn't say much as he patted her head, "You need to rest." he told her softly as he started to crawl back into the bed.

Kira had just left to wash her face and calm down a little was going to bring him some more food. She felt ashamed she left and had let him decline in the worse way.

She came back to the room and found he was gone, "Wha? Erebus?" she looked around, "Where?" she flinched feeling the baby kick hard, "OW! Hey now....I'm alright little one." she found when she was upset the baby kicked a lot harder and it took a bit of soft talking to baby to get him to calm down. "I'm alright..."

She flinched in fight when Erebus surprised her, "................I can't rest........I've got to watch over you...." she said.

Erebus rolled his eyes as he noticed the baby kicked her hard. He picked her up with easy, granted his body was weak, but he wasn't 100% pathetic. he carried her to the bed and laid her down as he looked at her, "For both our sakes, just lay down..." he stated. He was fighting, or trying to pick a fight with her, but he just wanted to lay next to her again. To make the feeling loneliness go away. He touched her stomach as he looked down, He noticed just how much his own son grew. It crossed his mind to cut the bond, but he couldn't do it. He looked at her as he stroked her belly to calm the child down. He didn't have to say anything, but the baby seemed calm.

He slowly closed his eyes as he enjoyed her warmth.
