Toxic

the idea split his lips into a wide grin, tongue dragging across his teeth as multiple plans crossed his mind, all the death and murder he could cause to one person. “we could all take it in turns, finally learn to share something.” Smirked the devil boy, not only his creativity but everyone else, they could do some damage to the king. 

tongue peeking out to lick at his lips, Lock took a step closer, his knife sticking into the tree as he closed the distance, getting all up into Kai’s personal space, because what was personal space. 

“are you sure you could handle me?” eyes dragging up and down his frame for a moment, biting the corner of his lip. 

“You’d share with me, lock? How delightfully evil, and well gotta like a man that knows when to share.” Kai could think of the many things the king would suffer at their hands once they finally got their hands on him, all the injustices to them paid in full. As soon as Lock came forward, Kai didn’t hesitate to press himself against the man. 

hand going underneath his shirt to feel the warm skin. “only one way to find out, and if i can’t just break me in till i can.” he smirked, before pulling lock closer, slowly until their lips finally met.

the anger that lock might’ve previously felt at whoever had ruined his masterpiece fell away at the sight of Kai, the male somehow being one of the only people Lock didn’t find a joy in torturing for hours on end, instead he was someone the male felt a pull towards, like he should befriend, make evil plots with. 

“do you think, if we drag him here; it’ll bring him back to life after he’s dead?” the devil boy wondered curiously, something he had been thinking about for a while, the many plans and idea’s he had to kill the King, how could he ever choose only one. 

 “You always do, maybe that’s why I like to kill you so much.” the toothy, cheeky grin flashing upon the male’s lips, holding less of a danger than it usually would. 

“maybe, but there’s only one way to find out. we’ve got to kill him first and then bring him. pretty sure he’ll come back to life so you can have your fun with him over and over, and over again. even force feed him all the rotten food they’ve made us eat for years, just for fun.” kai giggled.

“there’s a lot of other things we could do together instead of killing each other. we’d both be making a lot of sounds in this one two, but you wouldn’t be using a knife and instead,” his brows rose as his lips became nothing but a smile as kai pointed downwards past lock’s bellybutton.

“if you’d like of course.”

“As long as you don’t poison me, I’ll be happy to test anything you come up with.” He had full faith in his friend’s current ability to bake, thanks to Charlie’s aunt, but Tristan couldn’t help but tease the other. “Speaking of testing, think you can show me how to use this thing?” He continued, nodding once more towards the phone.

“I’m not ten anymore Tristan, you’ll be fine,” Charlie giggled before nudging Tristan. “Oh yes, right!” he mused before stepping in and wrapping his best friends arm around him as he pressed his back to his chest. “Alright, so all you gotta do is know that you can text which is messaging me like in a letter but using the phone. Wait you know what that is, but everything had  cute little icon for easy access to everything and if you press you finger on it it’ll give you a quick little top on how everything works.”

He’d have to file the idea away for when he was feeling particularly vengeful then. No use giving the demon more of a chance to harm what was Elias’. “When isn’t someone trying to cause trouble on this fucking Island?” Hell, that morning Elias had gotten caught up in at least two moments of ‘trouble’ as Kai liked to call it. Their efforts were hardly harsh or diabolical enough to cause much hesitation from those that wished to harm them, despite what Malachi may believe. Still, Elias was a bit proud that the other had enough faith in him to be a little naive in that matter.

“When they’re too tired and lazy to do anything other than fumble over their words trying to think of something menacing to say.” Kai chuckled, knowing the people were restless and antsy, and they just caused a lot of trouble for everybody. “You know the other day someone was threatening me saying that since my boyfriend wasn’t around to protect me, I was nothing but a weakling. Safe to say I tossed him in the trash, after stomping on his family jewels.” Kia laughed.

fingers running through her hair, letting the ends twirl around her finger as her teeth sunk into her lower lip, tugging against it in a state of nerves. it wasn’t often that she would let herself wander out of the safeness of her castle, the only place she knew she would ever be safe. 

but her need for new fabric had become too much, there was a shirt she needed to finish, and as much as she relied on her mother and trusted her judgement, she wanted to pick it for herself this time. 

so finally managing to find her own inner bravery, the bluenette began her journey out of the castle.

coming outside and managing to stay afloat in the isle as he helped out other of the smaller children find food and stay out of trouble. he’d sacrifice his own portions for them as they deserved a lot better than to be left in this hell, how the royals danced and lived a life actually worth living and they were damned to a fate for things they hadn’t committed. 

wandering around the isle, he came upon a castle before he bumped into a little bluenette. “sorry,” the boy apologized as he looked the girl in the eye. kai always seemed in low spirits when elias wasn’t around and that much was obvious for everybody except the aforementioned boy.

( OPEN INTERACTION; THE ISLE OF THE LOST )

the knife clenched tightly in his hand was roughly forced into the tree, the trio had made their home so long ago; eyes narrowed as he angrily carved another picture into the tree. not that he could draw that great, it was more so; he liked to express his hatred for those that sent him here, and the little drawing was his way of plotting out his revenge. 

it was only when he heard a noise around him, did the devil child stop, knife digging harder into the tree, the stick figure of king Adam breaking a little. 

“You just killed the king early,” scoffed the boy, not turning around. “this better be good, or when I kill you, your revival will last days.”

spotting lock kai came forward with no worries or fears for the devilish child, as everything the other did amused him, as did the evil he committed. the way his mind and anger worked in tandem was almost perfect, and he couldn’t help but be intrigued by the other. “Don’t worry, when we get the real one you’ll have your time with him, I’m sure.” the demon child mused before smiling over at lock. “if you do kill me, i’ll make sure to make the sweetest of noises just for you, lock.”

Barrel was laughing, probably very manically at this point and really that was far too normal for anyone to find odd. Too normal for Barrel to do that every now and then, and what was he laughing at? The sound the apple made as is smacked onto some guys head. Barrel had started throwing a basket of apples he stole for a solid good hour now. 

Every once in a while he would just hit one that sent him into stitched and he would have to wait till he could breathe again before he started his childish torment again. This time when he finally got himself together, realized he had some company on the roof he was perched on. He smirked and got up offering an apple. “You wanna give it a go? It’s a barrel of laughs.” And then there Barrel in hysterics again.

kai was kind of a loner when elias wasn’t around him and he didn’t really mind random company at times. now hearing the maniacal cackle that was all too familiar he couldn’t help but smirk at the guy as he came up to the roof and winked over at barrel. “honestly i thought you’d never ask. hoarding up all the fun up here for yourself,” he giggled before taking an apple and aiming at someone before letting it loose and smacking a smack right in the ass, the impact and shock forcing him to fall.

kai doubled over laughing before sitting next to barrel. “so where are your friends? i don’t really see them here, babe. usually you’re with your best pals and well let’s just say things always get a lot more fun when it’s all three of you around, you all know how to raise the perfect amount of hell, and unleash it even better.”

lips pressed into a thin line as a huffed passed through her pink painted lips, she was bored to put it plainly, the group of  — royals that she would usually be found with had been a no show as she got her usual salad for lunch. stepping outside, the sun hitting down against her while her blue-painted nails tapped against her container of food. 

“could you like — move?” The princess asked, gaze dropping to the table which she would always be sat at. although she had tried to be nice about it, the way the words passed threw her lips held a meanness she would deny to ever hold. 

“you know i could but i think if you’re not doing anything, i wouldn’t mind having your company.” lark shrugged as he didn’t even look up from his book which he ended up closing with a sigh. “come on, i’m not full of germs of anything just because my mom sings and animals seem to flock to her.”

“Now that would be a sight to see. How long do you think it would take for them to recover from something like that?” Elias asked, morbid curiosity enveloping him. If it got rid of a few of their more prominent annoyances, it might be a good idea to look into for the future. That is, if they can get close enough to Kai’s father without their own lives being threatened as well. Shaking his head, he cast a glare towards one particular lowlife that seemed to be eyeing them up as they walked nearer. “Later. I’ve got things to do I’d rather not have to do on a full stomach.” 

“I’ll let you know once we get them. From being eaten by my dad? Pretty long actually, since he’d probably play with them for a very long time.” the boy grinned, even though any thoughts about his father made him highly uncomfortable. he hated the demon, and wanted nothing to do with the slavic devil mountain demon. “You think someone’s going to try and cause trouble with us? Who would be that stupid knowing we’d probably break them in half and them take their clothes so they have to parade around the isle with their dirty ass hanging out.”

“Ah, right, well boring updates it is. At least hearing about your days will make up for my lackluster updates.” Tristan agreed, guilt easing into background noise in the face of his friend’s excitement. It definitely would be nice to talk more than just once every blue moon.  “…You do know there are baked goods that don’t rely on sugar, right?”

“Just said they’re not boring when they’re from you, when it’s like a royal decree then I’ll simply call it boring then.” Charlie giggled before, bouncing on his heels. “Well, of course but the best ones are the ones sprinkled with a little sugar, and a lot of love. But if you’ve got any recipes that you’d like me to try out send them my way, but only you are allowed to be my taste tester.”

    A FROWN. his eyes dance to the side, displeasure on his face as annoyance bubbled under the surface. the barrier. it’s a frustrating, unavoidable part of life.  ❝ Then one would think that the next time actual marine life gets in, the smart thing to do would be capture it and try to breed it, ❞ the isle could create life. – they are PROOF OF THAT – but perhaps that was too logical.  ❝ If this isle could stop thieving for a moment then someone could open a better food stall . ❞ he groans again. the fury is building. it’s in his blood. summer on the isle is worse. too little too do. too many hotheads, thieves and crooks trapped.  ❝ any suggestions for something to do ? ❞

“If it was as easy as that we’d be having sea food boils with all the best ingredients, but nothing grows here. You’d think the so called goody goodies would actually let things flourish here and not let people live in squander, isn’t that supposed to be their whole thing?” Kai sighed, thinking of the things Auradon had over them, and how he envied the privileged life the others led. “Don’t think that’s the main issue, I mean stealing around here is kind of redundant since it’ll just circle around the same place since it’s not that big here. Not really, don’t know who’s dick we gotta suck to be let out or have a warm meal.”

Swiping the half a bar, Elias shoved it in his pocket with the intention of sneaking it back to the other later. No matter how stubborn the other was, he could be even more stubborn when he wanted to. Still, he nodded, playing along. “Deal. And I know. But I’m not about to ignore when someone tries to hurt you or the others.” After all, he’d played shield this long, more scars wouldn’t do much than add to the collection. “Not sure others would take kindly to ‘doing good’.”

“Yeah, thanks to me you’ve gotten quite a few reminders of how harsh it is here on the isle,” he sighed remembering how the man had been his shield more times than he could count. “You think I won’t feed them to my dad if they try to hurt you?” he smiled. “Well it’s good to be bad then, but it’s not like what we do is exactly evil, making sure the kids are alright.” he giggled, rolling his eyes at the other boy. “You aren’t gonna eat it? Come on I wanna see you eat it.”

“Be prepared to hear a lot of the same updates: ‘Spent the day stocking his shelves’, or ‘Had another of his books fall on my head’.” Tristan lied, ever present guilt already seeping its way back into his mind at the words. But it’s not like he could do much about it anyway without fear of rejection from the other. So, he stamped the feeling down and kept smiling. “Just a lot of boring things.”

“Doesn’t matter if it’s the same or not, I’ll love it regardless, and it’ll let me know that you’re okay.” Charlie beamed a this best friend, not really minding how boring that might’ve sounded because if it made Tristan happy then that was all that mattered. “You could never be boring to me, Tristan. You’re like the sugar to my baked goods, without you there’s no point to them at all.”

Waving him off once again, Elias ignored the gnawing feeling in his stomach at the thought of food. He could scrounge something up later. “Good, have second helpings. You need it more than I do.” It was a generous refusal, one Elias would never make to anyone other than one under his care, and one he wasn’t going to back down for. God knows the last time Kai had eaten decently. “I barely do anything- hardly enough to warrant something as useless as a crush. Besides, didn’t you know? The Isle doesn’t do crushes.”

Kai sighed, before taking the bar and splitting it in half. “Here, since you won’t take the full bar you’ll take half that way we both eat something. Deal? I’m not about to let you not eat, you don’t always have to protect me, Elias. I’m not the same little boy you met all those years ago.” The boy mused before slightly bumping into him. “You’re right crushes are useless, and sometimes you just can’t help but like someone, not just cause you like them for shallow shit, but it’s just the way it is. Not that I would anything about that, but I have heard other kids talking about it. Barely? Give yourself a little more credit, we do good around here.”

     ROTTED FISHSTICKS. common occurrence. the isle is rotten. food. buildings. people. a rotted prison.  ❝ For a sea witch, one would think she could at least cook seafood, ❞ he sighs, tosses the greasy stick onto the plate: he rolled his eyes for good measure. he looks to his left – to the COMPANION – and grimaces.  ❝ Why did we come here again ? ❞ he questions.  

“Because it was either this or nothing at all, Crimson,” Kai mused, rolling his eyes as the other VK. “Think the big ol’ sea witch can’t get actual sea food cause there’s a little barrier around the island which would’ve kept most of the sea life getting near us. Or something along those lines.”

“Well then, I’d sooner eat a goblin than entertain their advances, if it were to come to that.” Elias told Kai bluntly, not even bothering to hide the disgust from his voice at the idea of certain Islanders approaching him for that. Looking over to asses the smaller figure of his… of Kai, Elias shook his head, waving off the offer. “Keep it for yourself, I’m fine for the time being.”

“Damn, what did a poor goblin ever do to you.” Kai laughed before shaking his head at his...Elias. “Come on, just take it, I already ate anyway, it’ll go to waste.” he lied, he hadn’t eaten that day, but he didn’t really care for that. “Still, you can’t blame people for having a crush on you Eli, all the VK’s are not as worse as they could be thanks to the things you do for them. I mean of course you’ve got help from your best guy.”
