"I did it for you. I made him for<em>you<em>.</em></em>"<br/><br/>Frederick took another deep breath and allowed his eyes to fall closed. He wanted so badly to believe Min Yu and to allow his fledgling's words and wide eyes to convince him. But he knew it was a lie and he wondered how many other lies he had so foolishly accepted as truth in his blindness towards the young man.<br/><br/>"You will stay here until I feel you have either learned your lesson or are at least repentant of what you have done. I hope you fed recently, it will be at least a week before you are let out."<br/><br/>The slamming of the door was loud and harsh in the otherwise quiet house. Frederick took a small skeleton key from the top ledge of the door and locked it, knowing that regardless of any enhanced strength, Min Yu would not be getting out. As he walked back towards his rooms he pulled out his phone and called Sorcha, the only person he could trust at such a time, and asked her to come over as soon as was possible.<br/><br/>He stopped upon reaching the threshold of his room and quietly observed the new watcher for a few minutes before approaching him. Frederick sat down on the edge of the bed and brushed a gentle hand over the boy's cheek. "Tell me your name."<br/><br/>This was the best way to get a better account of what Min Yu had done. And regardless of how the fledgling had come to be, he was as of now, for all accounts and purposes, under Frederick's care.
