Amethyst Cove Chronicles

Ryan, Felix, & Kit

Ryan giggled as his wolfpup squirmed on his shoulder and swished his tail under the hem of the redhead's shirt. "Pup, that tickles. Don't make me drop you cats land on their feet, not wolves." He continued giggling.

"It's part of the training, babe. I'm testing your resistance to distraction." Kit's laughter filled the hall as his ass got playfully smacked and his side tickled.

The older teen giggled and tossed the lighter boy onto the bed. Then, he growled, pinned the wolfboy to the mattress, and annihilated Kit with a tickle assault to his stomach and sides. "Are you ready to shower, Kit?" Ryan asked as he moved the tickling to his boy's sock-clad soles and toes.

The half wolf's laughter reverberated off the walls as he writhed and dug into the bedsheets, attempting to escape. His legs pumped back and forth as his toes scrunched inside their thin cotton barrier. "You're cheating." He squealed.

Ryan snickered and stopped tickling Kit's feet. He wrapped the younger teen in his arms, then kissed his sweaty forehead and lightly stroked his back. "C'mon, Kit, playtime's over. We need to get in the shower and get into town." The redhead got up and stood with his arms crossed over his chest.

Kit's eyes shimmered with playful mischief. He got to his feet and mimicked his boyfriend's pose. "I'm not showering, and you can't make me, so there." His eyes slightly widened, and he yelped as he saw Ryan's eyes start to glow. "Oh, shit." The young wolf squeaked and made a break for the door.

"Ekam tiK nur ni ecalp," Ryan recited as the violet color grew brighter.

"That's not fair, Ry." Kit protested and tried to break the teen's spell.

"Seems you need to have a few more laughs, Pup." Ryan chuckled. "s'tiK nettog ni a elkcip, ekam sih trihs dna skcos elkcit." Instantly, Kit's squeals and laughter filled the teen witch's ears like a welcome symphony. His boyfriend's laugh was Ryan's favorite sound. He walked up to the squirming, trapped teen and tickled the wolf's lower back and tail with his fingers. "Kit, you're taking a shower, or else."

"Or else, what?" The giggling teen asked, knowing he'd regret the answer.

Ryan waved his hand and sent Kit into their shared bathroom. He placed the teen in the shower. "Now, get undressed, and take a shower, Pup. I'm not joking." Ryan closed the curtain and stood by the door.

"Make me?" Kit said defiantly between his boisterous laughter as he rolled side to side in the tub.

The redhead giggled and shook his head. "pirts tiK fo sih sehtolc."

Kit giggled as his clothing removed itself. "You're getting a bit kinky, aren't you, Ry?" The giggling younger teen's smiling face suddenly appeared. "This is fun, but I'm still not showering." The child-like teen stuck his tongue out at his boyfriend and blew a raspberry. His eyes glowed, and he whispered a spell.

Ryan was about to make his next move when Kit's shirt and socks launched themselves at the redhead. The socks balled into a gag and flew into the older witch's mouth, and the shirt's armpits attached to his nose. His boyfriend's tactic shocked the young witch so much he didn't know what to do next. Not to mention, the scent of his wolf's pits turned him on and made him lose focus. "Eeeewww, your worn socks in my mouth, really, Pup?" He said with telepathy. "Fuck, I forgot to end the tickle spell. It's sooo weird, having my face and the inside of my mouth tickled." Ryan started giggling. "I didn't know the roof of my mouth was ticklish." The teen continued his giggling. "You're sooo dead, Kit."

Kit was beside himself with laughter at Ryan's retort. He shook his head and shifted to his wolf form. The teen planned to jump out and make a run for it. However, when he prepared to jump, he couldn't move. "Ry, this isn't fair." He telepathically whined as he futilely tried to get free.

Suddenly, Kit's clothes whisked away from the teen witch's face and mouth. The redhead started opening and closing his jaw, then headed to the sink for the mouthwash. "What's not fair, Pup? I didn't do anything. Your damn shirt and socks were fuckin' with my focus. By the way, I'm sooo making you pay for gagging me with your socks."

"I thought you could use a little help with the puppy, little bro." Felix's voice and sudden appearance made Ryan jump and yelp. "Kit, you're showering, then you Ry."

Kit growled in response to Felix's order.

"Kitanyon Blu, if you ever fuckin' growl at me again, I'll make you regret it." Felix's unexpected louder, more firm tone made both Ryan and Kit gasp and softly whimper. Felix's eyes glowed, and suddenly the wolf's howl echoed off the bathroom walls.

"Felix, that's cold as fuck." Kit's wolf telepathically communicated just before he erupted into high-pitched squeals and giggles. "Lix, it's cold and tickles that's cheating."

Ryan giggled and hugged Felix, then high-fived the older witch. "That was awesome, but I don't have to shower, Lix. I took one last night." Ryan turned to walk to the dresser to pick out a pair of jeans when he was lifted and dragged back over to the element tickle witch.

"Ry, I told you to take a shower after Kit, and I expect you to do it." Felix hardly adopted a stern tone with the teens, but he realized they're hitting that odd phase between being kids and legal adults, but not completely mature yet.

The redhead seventeen-year-old struggled and squirmed while trying to break Felix's magical hold on him. "Lix, I'm not some little kid. I can shower when I want." The teen whined.

Felix chuckled. "Wanna run that not being some little kid statement by me again?" The witch's eyes glowed again as he whispered a spell that pinned Ryan to the wall. The magic pinned Ryan's arms against his body. Then he infused the struggling teen's clothing with his tickle magic.

Ryan's shrieks and laughter spilled from his lips. "Felix, this isn't fair." He screeched as he tried scrunching his toes, but all he did was trap the tickling fabric in his toes.

"Ha, see what you get for enchanting my clothes. I got my big brother after you." Boisterous, uncontrollable laughter followed Kit's taunt. "Felix, no fair tickling me with the rain."

"That was me, babe. Felix taught me a spell, and I decided now was the perfect time to try it." Ryan squealed when he slid down the wall and landed on his feet unexpectedly. "Sooo not cool, Felix." Ryan's eyes burned, and he stormed out of the bathroom. Before leaving, he used his telekinesis to send Felix into the wall, hard.

Felix used his wind magic to keep himself from hitting the hard surface and ran after the younger witch. His hazel eyes glowed a dark golden close to brown color as he conjured a giant hand that grabbed the fleeing redhead and held him.

Ryan's magic and fury coursed through his veins as he struggled against the dirt hand. "Felix, let me go now, or else I'm going to destroy you. You were treating me like a child in there. I'm not one."

Felix's eyes darkened, and he felt a wave of anger flow through him, right into the hand. It began to tighten around Ryan. As the younger witch struggled, the grip strengthened. The redhead yelped, and it brought Felix out of his feelings.

"Oh, fuckin' shit. I'm sooo sorry, Ryan. I didn't mean to lose control like that. The half-witch waved his hand and released his younger coven brother.

Ryan grunted as he fell into the older man's arms and put back on his feet. His brother's tears streamed down his cheeks as he covered his face with his hands. Felix slightly jumped when he felt arms wrap around his waist and a head laying on his shoulder. "It's okay, Felix. I'm sorry too. I never should've thrown you into the wall as I did. And, I shouldn't have talked to you like that either. Let's forgive each other on this one, okay, bro?" Ryan paused and wiped his tears. "I love you, Felix."

The older witch wrapped his arms gently around the redhead and kissed his forehead. "And, he's back to being mature." Felix chuckled. "Look, maybe I did take the guardian thing too far. I know, you're almost eighteen. However, I feel responsible for you, and I can't even imagine how it would feel to lose you, Kit, or Johnny." Felix started crying again and wrapped the younger witch in his arms. "I love you, but I don't need the attitude or the refusal to do something I ask." He paused and put his hand up before Ryan could speak. "I know, it'll happen from time to time, however at least try not doing it with Kit around. If he sees you defying or not listening to me, he'll think he can do the same thing, and that could get him hurt if he did it at the wrong time. Does that make sense?"

Ryan nodded and kissed his older brother's cheek. "Yeah, it makes sense, Lix." Ryan squealed and giggled when Felix's fingers tickled his side.

"I'll lighten up and let some of the things go from now on."

A sopping wet Kit walked from the bathroom and completely soaked Ryan and Felix when he shook his fur, as well as the room. He started to walk away, then paused, looked back, and blew a telepathic raspberry at the pair of dripping wet brothers. Then he barked and ran off.

"Holy shit, I'm killing one baby brother." Felix created a hot ray of sun to dry himself and Ryan. He looked at his red-haired brother and grinned. "Are ya too grown to gang up on our wolf puppy?"
Ryan giggled. "Nope.

About an hour later, Ryan and Kit hopped into Felix's Charger and started to drive off. Felix came running out of the house. "Guys, be careful, and Ry, watch your speed in this thing. It's got a lot of power under the hood. Love you two, call if you need anything."

"We'll be okay, Lix. we love you too, big bro." Ryan said as Kit smiled and nodded. The redhead put his sunglasses on and took off down the dirt drive.

Felix went back inside to answer some e-mails, confirmed the couple of reservations he'd received the other day, then he jumped in the shower. After locking the door, he got in his Dodge Ram and drove into town to do some shopping for Johnny's homecoming.

Bart & Jethro

"I can't believe we've been turned down by the council, again." Bart ran his fingers through his white and black striped neck-length hair. The six-foot-tall warlock created a ball of energy and threw it against the brick wall, creating a big smoking hole. With a wave of his hand, the hole sealed itself back up as if no damage ever occurred.

"I know. Okay, so we're not the most powerful warlocks, but we're cunning and have some uses." Jethro's eyes glowed a dark amber, and his red and orange hair surrounded his head in spikes. The warlock's five-foot-ten muscular frame glowed with the same amber color. He opened his palms and sent blazing chains hurtling through the windows.

The two men continued pacing the floor in the basement of the abandoned warehouse. Jethro suddenly stopped and snapped his fingers. "I got it.'

"Got what?"

"We'll prove to the damn council we're more than powerful enough to be members."
Bart looked at his companion in curiosity. 'What have you got in mind?"

"We're going after that coven of good male witches. You know the one with the wolf shifter that creates the forcefield around their bed and breakfast."

Bart gasped, then stood still and thought. "That might work. We'd need to get the puppy and make him drop the barrier. Then we can get our hands on their book of shadows and all the other things they have that make them so powerful." The warlocks smiled and put their heads together on a plan to capture the witches.

Felix

As he drove along the deserted country road, Felix let himself get lost in his thoughts and his desire to have his sweet Johnny back where he belongs. Realizing he was currently behind the wheel of a decent size truck, the half-witch shook his head back to his present situation and returned his thoughts and eyes to the road. The dark purple truck passed a cluster of trees on both sides of the road. Suddenly, a flash of dark energy hit the vehicle and sent it flying in the air. Thinking quickly, Felix created a whirlwind to keep his truck from being destroyed and brought it safely down to the ground.

Several flaming chains broke through the windshield and sent shards of glass everywhere. The chains wrapped around Felix's upper body, the half-monster screamed in agony as they burned his skin. Before he could react, the twenty-two-year-old got wrenched from the dented vehicle. As the chains pulled him, his screams got louder. The pain was intense, and it kept Felix from concentrating enough to use his magic. The chains flung the witch to the ground, and he writhed in excruciating burning pain. Finally, the screams ceased as Bart threw an energy ball and knocked the witch unconscious.

Kit

Kit's wolf form ran through the woods. He was heading back to the house. While they were shopping, Ryan got a text from the youth center, and they needed his help with a runaway teen. After the two shared a passionate kiss and a hug goodbye, Ryan got in the Charger, and Kit walked into the woods and shifted to his wolf. He was not far from the town when he caught sight of his brother's battered truck. The wolf stopped short and trotted closer to the downed vehicle. As he got closer, he smelled the dark energy used. A deep, menacing growl and angered howl rose from deep inside Kit. It was so loud that it made the ground rumble.

"What the fuck was that?" Bart asked as he and Jethro got the downed Felix into their trunk.

"Sounds like a powerful wolf. Who knows, maybe it's the one we're trying to catch." Jethro almost had the trunk closed when a wolf came flying at him, with its teeth bared. The warlock ducked right before the furry animal made contact with him. "This is the one we're looking for."

Kit landed on all fours then turned to face the car. He raised his head and let loose an earth-shaking howl and growl when he saw Felix's unconscious body in the trunk. He shifted to his human form Kit pulled a shaft of sunlight and formed a solid gold shimmering dagger. "If you've hurt my brother." The teen's eyes glowed as he aimed and threw the weapon. The thin, golden knife slightly whistled as it sliced the afternoon air. The warlock screamed when the blade embedded itself down to the hilt in his arm.

Bart jumped the half-witch from his hiding place in the tree above him. The taller man wrapped his hand around Kit's throat and tightened his grip. He sneered as he brought the struggling youngster closer to him. "It's always fun when a pup thinks he's a big, bad wolf." The warlock laughed as he flung Kit's body into a tree.

The teen grunted as he flew through the air, then yelped when he hit the bark and fell to the ground. Kit wobbled a bit when he tried getting to his feet. The half-wolf almost achieved his goal when two flaming chains wrapped around his legs and chest binding him. Instantly, the forest echoed with Kit's tortured screams. The warlock's magic increased the pain inflicted, and he fell unconscious from the searing pain in a matter of minutes. His limp body was picked up and placed in the back seat of the warlock's car. They shut the trunk, with Felix inside, and drove off.

Ryan

The teen pulled into the center's parking lot, then closed and locked the doors of the black Charger. He looked around curiously and slowly approached the deserted-looking building. The closer he got, the more his gut told him something was off. Suddenly, the redhead fell to his knees and cried out in pain. His bond with Kit let him know his mate was in danger, as well as in great pain. Ryan didn't know what to do, he didn't want to leave the center in a bind, but he felt Kit needed him. However, he couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong. Ryan looked at the text telling him to show up, but it was gone. He shook his head and headed back to the car. Before Ryan could reach Felix's Charger, a familiar presence stopped the teen in his tracks.

"Hey, Red, been a long time."

As soon as Ryan turned to face the speaker, he got hit with a spell that froze him where he stood. What went through his mind wasn't his situation, but his mate hurting and in danger.
