Gail smiled and watched Aiasan run after her children. Then looked at little boy, Balin, on his back. "okay so what do you think I should make for dinner?" he asked and smiled. Balin smiled "i think fish is a good idea." he said happly. Balin really wasn't his son, all the kids just called him dad since he treated them like his kids.

Ivan smiled at Allie in his arms. "hey.." he said and kissed her cheek. "please dont take my punishments anymore, I am the only one who can deal with them and I dont want to see you hurt like this again" he said as he pulled her closer. He didn't want to let her go and he didn't want to see her like this ever again.

Ivan smiled at her and kissed her cheek again. "I am the only one in this place who can survive that. I have survived being beaten like that for so many years that I am use to it. So please dont do it." he said and kissed her nose. "now get some rest, I use to sleep for three days straight after each beating." he said as he looked at her. Kindness and love where in them and nothing else.

Suzu dragged Aiasan by the hand down to where the boys said Gail and his son were. She just wanted to be away from the boys, who were runninf wild outside.

Maya trailed behind.

Rena was holding hand with Maya and Sakura.

Sakura just tagged along swinging her arms while her hand was locked with Sakuras.

Aiasan was at a loss for words as the girls dragged her into the kitchen. She hadn't seen anything like that in a long time. Not since she'd been a child and had helped in the kitchens. People moving about, busy happy. She hadn't gone to the kitchens since her mother died. They had held too many memories for her. She was tempted to run away, when she caught sight of Gail and his son. She waved and felt Suzu tug her down to her height. She laughed at what was whispered in her ear, and in turn whispered in the child's ear. She cast a sly look at Gail.

Gail smiled at Aiasan "I hope your enjoying yourself here" he said as he walked over to her. Balin was still on her back and watching everyone. Gail looked at a girl, sue, who was cooking and said "I never asked you to start cooking" he said with a smile. Sue smiled "you never have to, we are happy to do so since you do so much for everyone." she said and continued to cook. "I dont do much." Gail said with a smile then turned back to Aiasan "we are having a huge feast for you and your kids." he said with a smile

Ivan looked at her "I never will" he siad and kissed her cheek again. He kept himself alert and when ever a guard came close to them he would growl and make sure that they did nothing to harm Allie or himself.

Aiasan nodded with a smile at him and brought the other little girls into their plan. It was ebil! They were going to have so much fun. She probably shouldn't encourage them to be doing this, but hey. She wanted them to have fun and be comfortable. Suzu and Sakura ran up to Balin and pulled him from the kitchen each chattering one ear off. He went willingly, enough. Then Maya and Rena walked up to Gail and each tugged on one of his arms.

"Are you going to be out Daddy?" they asked purely innocent smiles on their faces. They did really want to know this though, he smiled at their mom and she smiled back, which she'd never done with any male before other than their brothers. Aiasan thought they were playing but they were asking him if that's what he planned to do.

Gail looked at the girls and smiled. "I would love to be your dad." he said as he kneeled down and smiled at the little ones. He loved all the kids he had in his house. They loved him and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Ivan smiled at her and pulled her closer to him. "still here" he said and then heard the sound of foot steps and began to growl. A guard came over and started to say soemthing when Ivan growled and tryed to bit him. The guard jumped back and said "still as wild as ever, looks like the princess managed to tame the beast" then walked away. "I am going now where." he said after the guard left and looked at Allie

Aiasan's mouth hung open comically, she knew what question was coming next and she dreaded it, but she'd allowed them to ask the first question. She smacked herself in the head and then heard those words.....

"Does that mean you'll marry Mommy?" they again asked in unison, smiling and laughing. They knew that Aiasan did not want them to ask that, but she;d taught them, "You never know an answer to a question unless you ask, or find out for yourself." They hoped he'd say yes. They liked him, he was nice to them, not like the gaurds back at the castle.

Gail sat there for a little bit and thought. Aiasan was nice but he hardly knew her. He then smiled at the little ones and ruffled there hair "I don't know, maybe after I get to know her better." he said with a smile and stood up. He walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a box of cookies. "now then who wants a cookie." he said as he walked back over to the little ones and pulled two cookies out of the box.

Bail ran over to Gail and jumped onto his back. Scared out of his mind and stayed there not moving. Gail looked at Aiasan and smiled "it is okay, children usually like to ask questions so you dont have to be sorry." he said and flinched when she bowed "and please don't bow or do anything you would to a master. Here we are all equal, I am the same as you nothing more nothing less." he said with a smile

Ivan smiled at Allie and kissed her lips gently "I love you too.." he said and continued to say awake. He wasn't going to sleep any time soon. He didn't want to take a chance of being taken away from Allie

Gail watched her go and then started to help everyone in the kitchen. Soon the whole dinning room table was set and all the food was out. He then used his super speed to run aorund and tell everyone that dinner was ready. When he came to Aiasan room he smiled and knocked on the door and said "dinner is ready." he said with a smile. Balie was still on his back and smiled seeing the other kids asleep.

Ivan smiled at her "I am fine, you need to sleep" he said as he looked at her and smiled. He kissed her on the cheek again. He hoped that they wouldn't be separeated since she was the only one he cared for now. If anything happend to her he had no idea what to do.

Aiasan gruntedand turned over. She was needed to get up and tell the kids that they could eat. She snapped her fingers a couple of times and Gene, the oldest boy was soon out of bed waking everyone up. Gene knew what the snaps meant and got everyone up and lead them all down to the kitchen. Suzu went back to wake her up.

"Just let her sleep Suzu, you know she'd tired. After her last punishment she'd bound to be knocked out for a while." Gene said remembering vividly the sound of a whip tearing skin. He shook his head and let the thought go.

Aiasan wanted to cry. She didn't much remember that particualr beating, but it was obvious Gene did, and it scarred him. She nuzzled the pillow briefly and drifted to sleep.

Allie looked up at him, blushing as he kissed her cheek. Smiling softly before closing her eyes again. How could someone care for her some much? She was a killer, hard to control and not nice, but him, it seemed, he wanted to stay with her. Even though it would get him in trouble.

After she fell asleep, a few minutes later a guard came up but pointed the stun gun at the mutt. So he knew to stay back. He just wanted to have some fun "Aww look who it is, the beauty and the beast, too bad this princess wont make it to see the wedding" he taunted him seeing how he would react. "easy doggie.. there is someone out front who wants to see her, take her home.." he said in a convincing tone walking closer to the cage. "your not going to deprive her of a home are you?" he asked mocking him.

Gail smiled and let her sleep. "come little ones, there is food down stairs." he said as he lead them down to the dinning room.

Ivan growled at the guard and kept Allie close to him. When he steped closer to the cage he sprang into action and took the stun gun from his hands and looked at him. "you guards never learn." he said with a sigh and broke the gun in half. He growled again and the smerked "if you take her you take me." he said as he kept her close to him. he knew that most of the guard would love for him to leave this place. He had killed so many of there friends that they would give anything to kick him out of here.

Aiasan had sat down next to gail and he smiled at her. "glad that you could join us." everyone esle where looking at her scares but gail didn't even look at the scares. He also had scares he just hid them.

The double dose of the drug didn't even faze Ivan. He continued to growl and when they took Allie from him he seemed to lose it. He slowly starte dot turn into a half human half wolf thing. A real werewolf. He grew the size of two men and fur grew all over him. He had a crazed look in his eye and he growled "give her back" All the slaves around his cowered as he broke the cage to pieces. His color was shocking him but he didn't feel it. He just growled and ran after the guard yelling for them to give Allie back. He wasn't going to stop either.He would conitnue to go after them till he had Allie back in his arms. He really was a monster now.

(hides)

The guards turned around at the growl. Gasping at the size of him. A few of the guards shot at him with actual guns, seeing how they had no effect they ran. The main guard spoke"I guess the princess does tame the beast" he said as he dropped the girl and ran. She wasn't worth their lives.


Allie woke up, being dropped to the ground, looking up behind her she gasped. "Ivan?" she questioned, her heart speeding up. She was more afraid for what they would do to him, then him hurting her. She trusted him. She loved him and she didn't want him hurt. Why were they out of the cage and why was he so big and harry?
