Amethyst Cove Chronicles

Johnny

Johnny was almost home. The redhead loved the thrilling freedom and the feel of the wind as it rushed around his bare arms while riding on the open highway. The witch looked forward to being back with his coven brothers and boyfriend. Despite his good mood, the eighteen-year-old couldn't shake the strange feeling coming from his bond with Ryan, Kit, and Felix. The teen shook his head and told himself he was just anxious because he'd been gone for close to a month. He deeply sighed and took off down the road. Johnny was nearing the place Felix got attacked when a tsunami-like shockwave of energy hit him like a brick wall. The force of the impact made the bike stop instantly, throwing its rider over the handlebars. The redhead's body lifted off the seat as he launched into the air, then flipped and landed hard on his back.

"Aww, did the wittle boy fall off his bike and go boom? Maybe some training wheels will help you." A figure shimmered into view. The blonde male was about as tall as Johnny and way more muscular. He snickered, and his eyes glowed a frightening dark ruby red.

Johnny moaned and attempted to stand up. However, after a wave from the stranger's hand, he was right back on the ground again. "Who, the fuck..." was all the teen managed to say before he screamed in pain. A rope wound around the fallen witch's body and tightened. The restraint was so cold it sent a fiery pain through Johnny's system. He gritted his teeth and tried to fight off the pain from the extreme cold he felt. However, after another shockwave of ice through his veins, the redhead fell unconscious.

The attacker giggled and clapped his hands. "That was easier than I thought." He hefted Johnny over his shoulder, recited an incantation, and walked through a portal.

Felix & Kit

In the trunk, Felix's eyes fluttered open. He softly moaned and tried to sit up. The chains reacted to his movement and started burning into him, causing the witch's painful scream. He quickly realized as long as he didn't move too much, the pain was more subdued and dull. The half-witch laid his head back down and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a familiar scent caught his attention. His eyes flew open as tears welled in them. "They got Kit too." He whispered to himself just before falling unconscious from the shot of pain as he furiously struggled to get free.

"Get the door, would you? I got these guys." Jethro said, pointing to the car. The other warlock nodded and did as requested. The warlock opened the door and hefted Kit over his shoulder. Then he went to the trunk and started to open it. Suddenly, the door flew up, almost hitting Jethro in the head. "Nice try, bitch." The warlock's eyes darkened, and Felix's scream pierced the air. "Now, ya gonna behave?"

"You're so dead when I get the chance. If you've hurt my little brother, you'll never live to see another day." Felix's eyes glowed.

Jethro shook his head. "I can see the family resemblance you both give empty threats." The warlock's eyes flashed. Felix shrieked and an unhuman-sounding scream spilled from his lips before he lost consciousness. He hefted the motionless witch over his other shoulder and brought the pair inside.

"You have any trouble? I was about to come out and see if ya needed help." Bart asked.

Bart reached out and took Kit from Jethro's shoulder, then he locked the teen in cuffs attached to a table. Jethro wrapped a set of chains around Kit. Then he placed Felix on the other table, and after cuffing him, he used more chains around the older witch. The warlock made sure he created the chains stronger than usual.

"Not really, this one decided to try something, but my chains made him change his mind." Jethro chuckled and looked at Bart. "You think the mutt'll break and lower the forcefield?"

"If not, he won't be alive to be a grown wolf." Bart sneered and threw a punch to Kit's gut that made the sleeping teen convulse in his sleep. "I can't believe how weak these witches are. Why are they considered so powerful?"

Jethro cackled and whipped Felix with a chain. He loved seeing the young man's body jump and curl up. "I have no clue. This one's so easy to take down."

Kit's eyes opened, and when he saw Felix being hurt, a blood-curdling scream rumbled from his throat. "Leave him alone." He winced and yelped as he struggled against the cuffs and chain, keeping him pinned down.

"Aww, the little puppy's awake." Bart walked over, pulled his hand back then, slapped Kit so hard the teen whimpered as his head whipped around, and the crack echoed off the walls.

"Let us go. We've never done anything to you." The wolfpup tried to be threatening but screeched and writhed in great pain as the chain glowed and burned into him.

"Let the shield protecting the house down, and we'll consider it," Bart said as he added a half-strength energy ball to the pain assaulting Kit.

"Fuck you! I'll die first." Kit gritted his teeth before screaming in agony from the chains.

"We'll be glad to hold you to that, pup," Bart said before throwing two energy balls.

Ryan

Ryan struggled and tried to break the spell Terrence had him trapped in. "Terrence, let me go, right now before someone sees us. You know this is against the rules." The teen's eyes burned with hatred for the young man he once loved.

"You've become so pathetic and weak, Red." The other teen shook his head and circled the fuming redhead. "You really should drop the mongrel and get back to your dark side. You were pretty awesome. Still a bit of a wimp but awesome nonetheless."

"Fuck you, Terrence, release me now, or I'll..." Ryan's threat was cut short and replaced by his soft giggling.

Terrence chuckled. "Nice to know you're still just as ticklish as ever, Red." Ryan's ex-boyfriend sneered as he wrapped his arms around the captured teen's waist and dug his fingers between the ticklish ribs.

Ryan bucked and squealed as he cackled with laughter. "Stop this, now. I mean it."

"You're sooo adorable when you try sounding tough." Terrence giggled and moved to Ryan's armpits. "Ya still into pits? I remember I could make you do anything I wanted. All I had to do was tickle you while keeping a pit over your nose." The witch smirked and did just what he mentioned. Terrence placed his bare pit hollow over Ryan's nose as his index finger drilled in his ex's belly button.

"No, don't do this, Terrence. Ryan pleaded as he dissolved into boyish squeals and giggles while trying to escape the spell. He knew it was useless to struggle but did it anyway. He blushed even redder because his jeans tightened as he got hard from the stimulation.

Terrence licked his lips. "There it is, there's Ryan junior." He chuckled and caressed the stiffening appendage.

Suddenly Ryan fell to his knees and screamed in a mix between pain and tickle-induced laughter. Terrence's hand gripped and squeezed the redhead's balls. The pain and tickles started making Ryan feel sick to his stomach.

"C'mon, baby boy. Give in to me and your dark side." Terrence let go of Ryan's balls and then whispered a spell that made the captive's socks tickle his feet and toes. He almost creamed himself as Ryan's laughter filled his ears.

Tears welled in the redhead's eyes from the immense pain of his balls being squeezed, but he was determined not to let his ex see him cry so easily. A fire raged in his eyes as his humiliation and anger boiled inside of him. Ryan rasped and coughed. "Go the fuck to hell, Terrence."

The other witch chuckled and shook his head. "I'll be there waiting, with the fur from your little puppy for a jacket after I skin his ass alive. Slow and painful. I want to hear every fuckin' howl and scream." Terrence pulled back and threw a punch to Ryan's gut that sent the redhead to the ground. He was about to kick the fallen witch when a portal opened, and Flint walked through with Johnny's immobile body flung over his shoulder.

Johnny & Ryan

"Johnny!!! What did you do to him?" Ryan hollered as he fought with renewed strength. He was even more determined to escape.

"Man, this coven's a fuckin' joke." The newcomer said as he threw Johnny to the ground. "Oh, hey there, Ry." Flint chuckled and walked up to Terrence. He smiled, wrapped his arms around his lover, and kissed his neck. At the same time, he also tickled the other warlock's sides.

Terrence jumped and giggled. "C'mon Flint, Ry's still ticklish, and he's a bit cranky and needs to laugh some more."

Ryan's laughter flowed from the redhead's lips, and his cheeks blushed as Terrence and Flint embarrassed and humiliated him with tickles and taunts. The warlocks were so consumed with torturing the trapped teen they failed to notice Johnny's attack. His eyes glowed violet when the witch waved his hand and sent his attacker flying into a brick wall, knocking him out. He caught Ryan's attention and winked at him as he sneaked up behind Terrence.

"Ya know, it's not nice tickling your ex without their permission. However, tickling bad guys is completely acceptable." Johnny chuckled, latched his hands onto the warlock's sides, and kneaded his fingers along the unprotected area.

Terrence fell to his knees. His focus was destroyed, and he tried dislodging his tickle attacker's fingers. "You're so dead for this, Johnny." He managed to say between his fits of boisterous cackles.

"Kaerb siht lleps" Ryan's eyes glowed, and in moments, he was able to move again. His focus was back as well. "Thanks, Johnny, I hate to admit it, but I was in trouble. You got here just in time." The red-haired teen glared at his ex-boyfriend. "Hey, Ter, touch me or my wolfpup, and you'll get worse than this." Ryan narrowed his eyes and kicked the warlock in the nuts as hard as he could. He softly chuckled as Terrence fell to the ground. The redhead wasn't finished. Next, Ryan threw a punch and knocked Terrence unconscious. He shook his hand, then smiled and wrapped Johnny in a bear hug. "Are you okay? I was worried about..." Ryan stopped speaking, the teen slightly shook his head, and his balance faltered. "Someone's hurting him." Tears fell from the witch's eyes.

Johnny ran to his brother/cousin's side and hugged him tightly. "Who's getting hurt?"

"Kit, I can feel his pain. He's scared and in extreme pain." Ryan slowly straightened up.

"Ry, we need to get back home. On the way back, I got the feeling our guys were in danger."

Johnny and Ryan's eyes glowed as they combined their magic and called up a transportation spell to get them back to the house quickly. Once there, the duo separated and searched for clues to where the guys were. Twenty minutes later, they met back up in the kitchen. They were wiping their tears and worried sick. Ryan's balance faltered again, and this time Johnny's did too. The teens both groaned and silently confirmed the reason for their reactions.

"John, I feel so helpless." Ryan paused as he sobbed. His cousin softly rubbed his back and wrapped his arms around the emotional teen. Ryan clung to Johnny like a log that kept him from drowning in a rushing river.

Seeing his cousin so distraught was something a bit new for the redhead. He's seen Ryan get emotional and cry, but this was on a completely different level. Suddenly, he got an idea. "Hey, we're gonna find them." He gently kissed Ryan's head and lightly smoothed his hair. The two always showed each other love and affection, but the younger teen needed a bit more due to the situation. Another reason was it helped him also. "Are you ready to go find our missing mates?" Johnny asked as he discreetly smiled and wiggled his fingers in his cousin's pit hollows.

Instantly, Ryan jumped and started laughing as he tried escaping Johnny's grip. The teen giggled and fell back against his cousin's body. At least this time, the tickling wasn't meant to humiliate him. "Yes, I'm ready." He squealed then looked at his giggling cousin. "Normally, I'd get you back, but since this was meant to cheer me up, I'll allow it." The eighteen-year-old giggled and wrapped the other teen in a bear hug. "Thanks, Johnny. I love you."

Johnny smiled and returned the hug. "I know you do, Ry. I love ya, too. Do you think you can use your bond with Kit like a homing device to find him? I could be wrong, but I think Felix might be with him."

"I've never even thought of trying that." Ryan looked curiously at the other teen.

Johnny's eyes glowed, and he started reciting an incantation. After a couple of times, he motioned for Ryan to join his recitation. Ryan's eyes glowed, and he did as requested. Together, the two witches called up a transportation portal that took them to Kit.
