Wolves, Vampires, Shifters... Oh My.

Zack sighed.
"You don't have to whine you know.
Ridelious and Ashke might be cruel jerks, but they wouldn't go straight out and hurt a kid out of the blue...
He's going to be fine, Relic."
He hoped he was right...
Sure, Kyros was too hyperactive for Zack to care for...
But he was Relic's friend.
That would be bad if he ended up dead...

Kyros was still out front, looking at all the things that had been his at the orphanage.
The faded baggy blue jeans...
The three shirts that had school events printed on them-
Track, band, and eighth grade graduation.
Morphius... Heck, even the blanket that he had used since he first showed up.
Sigh...
 
Ridel was behind Kyros a few moments later.
He'd left a hickey behind with Ashke...hehe.
The young man leaned over and picked up the big box, bringing it inside and setting it on the table.
"Sooooo...wanna go swimming?"
Oh yes, they had a huge pool, with a water slide and jacuzzi.
They didn't care if the kid went in the nude or if he wore shorts.
Ridel and Ashke should have a pair of boxers or shorts to wear so they didn't mind.
 
Well, no nudity for him-
Kyros had a pair of swim trunks that came with his orphanage package.
Simple gray ones, but they worked.
He perked up a bit at the idea of swimming.
"Swimming sounds like fun."

Ashke probably loves that hickey...
But not as much as he loves Ridelious.
 
The pool was heated but not ridiculously so.
It was around seventy five degrees.
Outside it was about ninety so it would feel nice.
Ridel had slipped into his shorts and already slid down the huge slide in the backyard right into the water with a loud "WHOOOOOOO!!!"

'Ashke babe. Come on!'
He mentally shouted to his love.
 
Kyros followed after he had went to the bathroom to change into his swim trunks.
He dived into the pool as soon as he reached it.
And sadly he did a shift yet again...
This time it was a mermaid like creature he saw on Animal Planet's Mermaids: the Body Found.
I know, strange kid.
But he surprisingly pulled it off.

Ashke quickly stripped to boxers and jumped into the pool-
From the window upstairs.
Weeeeeee~!
 
Ridel was laughing loudly as he came up to see a mermaid Kyros.
He had seen commercials for the show he thought he was mimicking but not actually watched an episode.
"Oh no! Our boy turned into a mermaid!"
He laughed loudly again until Ashke came flying into the pool from the second floor.
"AHHH!"
*Insert gigantic splash/wave here*
 
Kyros rode the wave for the short time it lasted like a dolphin.
But shifted back to human at the end, laughing.
"Let's do that again!"
Ashke looked like a soaked weasel when he surfaced, white hair plastered to his face.
"I say it's Ridel's turn!"
Goof balls.
 
Ridel laughed but got out of the pool.
After a quick jump up to the balcony of their room he jumped, shouting "GERONIMO!!!"
His splash was a bit bigger than Ashke's since he was taller and had a bit more muscle.
The wave sent a ton of water out of the pool but it was darn fun.
Though the landing kinda hurt his butt...too high up probly.
 
Kyros ducked under this wave.
Darn thing would have swept him away.
Ashke was sent under water as well-
Was pushed along and then bounced off the pool wall to crash into Ridel.
"That... Was a very big splash..."
Kyros laughed.
He thought it was cool and yet very funny.
 
Ridellious grinned as Ashke was pushed over towards him.
He quickly ducked under the water and yanked ashke down, then headed towards Kyros.
A few seconds later and the younger boy was jerked under the water.

Ridel was up in a few moments, gasping in a quick breath of air just to laugh it out.
"I gotchu!"
 
Ashke squeaked when he was submerged yet again.
Boy is he going to be half drowned... Oh wait, he didn't need to hold in any air underwater.
Okay, he fine.
When he surfaced, he started laughing.

Kyros yelped when he had been submerged.
Ridel!
Why you so sneaky until after a surprise attack?!
 
Cause he be!
He flipped onto his back with a calm sigh, enjoying floating around.
"Hmmm, Ashy, is the jacuzzi up and running?"
Ridel climbed out of the pool after a moment and went over to it.
It was actually built right next to the pool, in the ground.
Handy right?
He tested the water and grinned, it was nice and hot.
"Hot tub party?"
 
Ashke climbed out of the pool after Ridel, somewhat prowling after him.
Jacuzzi~ They be awesome.
He didn't even answer as he slipped in.
A sigh of enjoyment.
"Come on in-
The water feels great...oh!"
He flicked on the jets as Kyros got out of the pool.
Yay~ Now it was even more great!
 
Ridel moaned as the jets came out.
He hadn't realized how tense his back was until the jets started to work with it.
After about fifteen minutes in the hot tub he glanced over at Kyros and smirked.
The next thing the kid knew he'd be flying through the air and straight into the colder pool.
Heheh, Ridel, you bad.

Hmm...Ashke can follow.
*tosses*
 
Kyros flailed his arms as he went flying right into the pool-
Oh, that is if he hadn't changed into a hawk once he reached a peak before he would fall.
Now we have a Kyros-hawk...
And a very suddenly cold Ashke...
Who was flailing in the pool.

"No fair!" he whined.
Not Kyros's fault he could shape shift and the other couldn't...
 
Ridellious was laughing as he bolted out of the hot tub and ran over to grab a towel.
He quickly dropped his shorts and started to dry off before running inside.
Heh!
Not gonna get him soaked with cold water!
The vampire was up in his room and dressed within two minutes, then went hiding under the bed.
Yes, he was a bit afraid of Ashy.
Especially since he'd just thrown him from really hot water to not-so really hot water.
 
Ashke was climbing out of the pool and running after Ridel just as Kyros landed by the house.
The shape shifter changed back to human and laughed to himself.
He had the feeling that the two tended to do this sort of thing quite often...
Or so he thought, because that would be funny to him if it were true.
Ashke found Ridel with ease, diving under the bed to catch him.
You tossed me!
Oh...he wasn't complaining about Kyros's shape shifting?
Oh, okay!
 
Ridellious yipped and tried to scurry further under the bed.
"It was just for fun!" He whispered in panic.
Eep!
"I-I won't do it again??"
Parlay!

Meanwhile...

Relic bounded downstairs past Zack and pawed at the door.
He wanted to go find Kyros and bring him back to safetely...
 
Ashke growled and caught hold of Ridel.
A very tight hold...
Was he going to resort to accepting an apology so soon...?
Nope.
Wait for it...Chomp! There he goes! Right on the lip too...

Kyros was now exploring the house of which he shall be living in.

Zack followed Relic, crossing his arms as he stopped a few feet behind him.
"Relic...He's going to be fine. If you are so worried about him, I'll ask Greg and Zile to go check on him before they head off to work."
 
Ridel moaned loudly at the bite.
Er, hope Kyros wasn't anywhere near their room...
He tried to squirm away but Ashke was pretty demanding...just how he liked it.
But still, normally Ridellious was in control.

Relic turned as his dad suggested Zile and Greg to go look in on Kyros.
It wasn't a perfect plan but at least he'd know if his friend was hurt...or worse.
