The Tears of a Prince

TW: violence 

Kai stopped, his voice getting smaller and smaller as he observed his lover from a distance. His posture, the way he looked at him and the blood all over his body. Philip was panting, holding in his hand Kai's crown. The prince frowned, unable to put the pieces together but his blue eyes spotted a pair of legs on the ground, showing through the door of the stable. He gasped, realizing that someone was dead there. 

He didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to say or how to act. He just heard the rain get louder and louder, stronger as it landed on his skin like needles. Had Philip killed that man? The vampire couldn't help but wonder. He would never do something like that, not the man he loved, not the man he knew. Philip stood there though, bathed in crimson blood, looking at the prince as if he couldn't recognize him. 

He had to move. That's what he commanded himself even if his instincts were telling him otherwise. He closed his eyes, feeling a lot more clearly how dump his ragged  clothes were, realizing how unstable his breathing had been and with his bare feet he walked towards Philip, diving into the mud. He used to hate  feeling dirty, the wet clothes, the dirt and everything that followed but now, not none of it mattered as long as he could hug him. Philip was so close, if he called out Kai's name he would be able to hear it, if he walked too towards him it would only take a few seconds for their bodies to collide. The werewolf, though, remained still examining the beautiful prince as if he was some kind of stranger. 

"Philip!" He called his name. "I am sorry, I am so sorry, things go a bit out of hand and I…" Kai didn't finish his explanation. He was caught off guard when the werewolf with a swift move grabbed him by the neck, suffocating him. Kai's eyes widened, not understanding the situation, he pleaded, his stormy blue glued on him but he didn't say anything. Philip did not utter a word as he turned his arm and as if Kai was nothing more than a dirty rag he threw him inside the stables. 

The prince landed on an empty cubicle, his back hitting on the wood before he found himself drowning in an itchy mountain of hay. He heard his footsteps, he was approaching, probably trying to hit him again and the exhausted vampire stood up, his palm resting on his broken ribs. He hissed, opening his pink lips and trying to reason with him. He didn't want to hurt him, not again, Kai swore to himself he would never cause him any pain. 

"Philip…Philip it's me." He said, his voice shaking the same way his whole fragile body did. "What's wrong?" he asked, hoping that he would get an answer. No words came out from Philip's sealed lips. He looked angry, his hazel eyes shooting daggers at him, while his hands were forming fists, bright white knuckles on them. He was still clenching on Kai's crown, the prince focusing on the shiny material, the gems that glistened and the rain drops that fell from it. Just a few meters away from them, laid a guard, his head cut off from his body, or more accurately ripped off. His body would soon turn into dust. "Did…did you kill that man?" he asked him, taking a step back as he tried to prolong their upcoming collision. 

All Philip did was try to approach him, his eyes staring at him but not really seeing him. A thunder sounded, landing close by and making everything shudder. Kai flinched and in that second the werewolf found his chance. Philip leaped forward, grabbing the prince by his golden hair and threw him to the ground, his face landing on the mood. 

He kicked him, making his body fold in two from the pain and the next kick landed right on his face, giving him a painful bloody nose. 

"Please" Kai cried. Tears falling off his blue eyes, mixing into a potion of sorrow. Salty tears and metallic blood with a dose of disgusting dirt. "Please, what's wrong?" he asked but it was as if he was talking to a wall. He closed his eyes, a victim under this traumatizing violence, when Philip grabbed him by the arm, dragging him outside into the rain. 

What had happened? The prince wondered. In this endless pain, he couldn't stop thinking about it. As he was being showered by the depressing rain, as he felt Philip sit on top of him and punch him, non stop he couldn't stop thinking that the pain he felt in his heart was much worse.

Was it possible to hear the sound of a heart that was breaking? Kai believed he did. It was probably one of his bones, snapping, shuttering, destroyed but he, in this self hating pain he believed it was his heart. His chest hurt the more as his blue eyes shot wide open and met with Philip's. 

He was weak, not weak in strength, in speed or intelligence. He was weak in this game that was called love because he could simply lay there and get beaten up, he could simply keep crying and begging knowing very well by now that his lover could not hear him any longer. He could do all that, just to not hurt Philip, just to make sure he wouldn't be in pain. It was fine if he took all in, it was fine if he was the one with ugly scars and broken bones. He could endure anything as long as he knew that Philip was alive. 

The vampire smiled, a bitter expression, highlighted with red blood. The prince had changed, the prince had allowed himself to feel just so all the negative emotions could invade his body and eat him from the inside out. The prince had allowed his heart to beat, his body to feel and his eyes to see just so he could hear his heart slow down, his body to go numb from the pain and his eyes to witness the hate in his lover's eyes. Still, he didn't mind. As idiotic as it sounded he didn't mind. 

He didn't mind…until….

Until Philip raised his arm, diving his palm into his chest, ripping the skin with his claws, breaking his ribcage with his strength and heading right for his heart. 

Kai's eyes widened in utter shock. 

He wanted to kill him, Philip was planning to rip his heart off. 

Without even realizing it, Kai stopped him.
