{Ashes to Mathias} Meison visits again

Meison Declain

April 30

*It had been a while since my last visit to Mathias, one that hadn't ended so well. I had lost control of myself, jeopardizing the future I had so carefully built. As I walked into the dungeon, memories assaulted me of a different past. The fighting, bloodshed and secrets that had to be kept*

• 

  Mathias Rowan *He was sitting as close to the wall as he dared, staring at the door. He knew someone had entered the house, the air stirred and the lasers hummed differently. His vision still blurred and dimmed but he was more aware this time.*

  
  
• 

  Meison Declain We meet again. Under better circumstances, I hope *Strolling casually into the room, I glanced around, noticing that the room hadn't improved by much. The Breed on the other hand was unkempt, his beard having grown considerably*

  
  
• 

  Mathias Rowan *He didn't move, only watched the male. Had he dreamed their last meeting here or had it been for real? He started to speak then had to cough to clear his throat. He was starved.* Is Aine ok?

  
  
• 

  Meison Declain Again with you mentioning my daughter. Mathias, do you never learn? *I sighed, frustrated and wondering if this was how Satora and Dia had felt in their past dealings with him*

  
  
• 

  Mathias Rowan Learn what? *He needed to know how far involved she was in this scheme and what he was really after. Goading Meison was not the best decision but the only choice he had.* She was offering to teach me.

  
  
• 

  Meison Declain You expect me to believe such nonsense? I am no naive fool. *I stepped closer, prepared this time to step out of his reach if necessary before he could touch me.* You would do well to mind your own business.

  
  
• 

  Mathias Rowan Having Daddy issues, Declain? Can't believe your daughter is all grown up? You still want her in pigtails and lacy dresses with frilly socks? For fuck's sake, man, she is a grown woman. *His vision blurred again as he tried to concentrate on the male before him. What the hell did Meison want from him?*

  
  
• 

  Meison Declain *I resisted the urge to rip into his throat by turning my back on him and walking over to the wall. I slipped a hand through the uv laser, breaking the stream of light.* I know what my daughter wants and it does not include a Breed.

  
  
• 

  Mathias Rowan *He smirked. It was obvious Daddy dearest had no clue what his daughter "wanted". He hoped like hell she was not a part of this. He quickly blinked and turned his head away when Meison deflected the uv light his way.* Fuck, man. Keep that shit to yourself.

  
  
• 

  Meison Declain *Keeping control of my anger, I sneered at the helpless male.* What if I choose not to? Your head would prove to be an interesting decoration amid the bright lights. It would be no less than what you deserve for your intrusion on my business.

  
  
• 

  Mathias Rowan Intruding? You have lost your damn mind. I live there. What is this really about? Are you one of those fuckers who hate the Breed but will exploit them to gain financially and socially? Get the hell on with it. Kill me or let me go. I have a hot date waiting on me.

  
  
• 

  Meison Declain *The desire to kill the Breed was strong even though I knew he goaded me with his words. He would not sully my daughter's name. In three quick strides, I was standing in front of him, back handing him across the face. The force of the blow splitting his lip and knocking his head to the side.*

  
  
• 

  Mathias Rowan *He spit the blood out of his mouth and jerked his head back around to stare at the male.* What the fuck are you?
