When he opened his eyes the room was dark and Sorcha was still sleeping against his side, arms loosely wrapped around his waist. The knocking continued and it took him a moment to realize that it was coming from the bedroom door. Frederick didn't want to wake Sorcha, so he gently moved her to the side and slipped out of bed, padding barefoot and nude to the door.<br/><br/>Colin stood on the other side, his clothes haphazard at best and his eyes wide eyed with fear. "Sir, you have to see this!"<br/><br/>"What is it, Colin?" The young man thrust a phone at him, hands shaking, and Frederick frowned at him before glancing on the device. Had he still been truly alive, what he saw on the screen would have surely given him a heart attack. Somehow he knew that Min Yu was responsible for what had happened and as he flipped through the pictures, he was sure that the price to pay would be quite high this time. "How did you get these?"<br/><br/>"Sent to me sometime in the morning. I hadn't thought to check my phone earlier, or else I would have told you sooner."<br/><br/>Frederick nodded and quickly sent the images to himself, handing Colin his phone back with an order to ready the car and wait out front for him. He shut the door and walked to the bed, sitting down and looking down forlornly at Lady Sorcha. There had always been a possibility for their arrangement to become more permanent, but ever since Frederick had taken Min Yu in, Sorcha had quite decidedly told him that she wouldn't come in between them.<br/><br/>He kissed her cheek and started dressing, pulling everything on as fast as possible. When he sat down to put on his shoes, Sorcha was awake and looking at him sadly. She knew, without having to ask, that something was wrong. "When will I see you again?"<br/><br/>With a sigh, he reached out to her and ran a hand down her sleep warm back, fingers itching to pull her close again. "I have no idea. It all depends on how quickly I can fix what Min Yu has done."<br/><br/>She frowned and sat up, biting her lip in worry. "That bad?"<br/><br/>"Worse than anything else. The biggest problem is going to be the humans, I have no idea how well they're handling what he did."<br/><br/>"I'll check on that. You concentrate on reining in your fledgling."<br/><br/>"Thank you." He gave her one last kiss before leaving, his phone in his hand as he started reading through missed texts and listening to angry messages.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>As soon as Colin pulled up to the house and brought the car to a stop, Frederick was out and running up the steps and to the door. The sight that greeted him made his already boiling anger rise even more and it took all he had to keep his calm. It seemed that everything had been destroyed, precious antiques that had been handed down and salvaged, mementos of a time gone by.<br/><br/>His steps barely touched the floor as he ran up to Min Yu's room, frowning when he didn't find him there. Then he heard a noise coming from his room and he had to grit his teeth. If the boy had done anything in there, Frederick was going to kill him. Fledgling or not, he had crossed one too many lines in just under a day.<br/><br/>When he opened the door Min Yu was standing by the door, hands holding onto the opened curtains and acting like he had not a care in the world. Another boy around his age was on the bed, on<em>Frederick's</em>bed, still clothed and covered with what had to be blood.<br/><br/>"What have you done?" His voice had lost any and all emotion, it was the only way he could keep his anger from coming to the forefront and the only way of keeping himself from tearing his fledgling apart, limb by limb.
