Welcome to Gaia! ::

((( Well....Mother would be too feminine. Yeah, your right. An abbreviation of Submissive parent. )))

Marlo soon began to dream about the future, how sexy and cute Kail would be wearing the Bloodsoul traditional wedding garments as they exchanged vows. Kail not being able to take his eyes off of him cause he looked too handsome and dashing in his own robes. The air between them was filled with love, its heavy intoxicating scent riling them up for their first night as Husband and Dame. Marlo having to use his nerves of steel not to take Kail in front of everybody as Kail blushed, yet neither of them looked away, knowing what the other wanted.

Marlo was jarred awake by a blaring siren. He looked at his Gram to find that an alarm had been set. He knew that he didn't set one so someone else did. With a hard sigh at the clock face, he had slept through the rest of his afternoon classes. Marlo stood and stretched the sleep from himself then rubbed his eyes only to find them wet. "Every night for the past two years, I couldn't fall asleep with out staring at the picture and I always woke up with tears streaming down my face. Kail, wait for me and get that idiot brain of yours thinking My Love."

He washed his face in a nearby water fountain and dried it off. The bandages on his right hand became wet and he sighed one more time. As he walked back to the club room, he scrolled through his inbox to find recorded videos of the class lectures and homework to do. There was one with a red link, emergency and he opened it. Marlo nearly dropped his Gram in shock at who it was from, he read it carefully three times to memorize each word then deleted it. This had to remain a secret.

He entered the club room and called Taiyou over to rebandage his hand, directing the others to collapse the tables and put them in a office then arrange the chairs so they were set up like an assembly hall. He took out a pair of white gloves and put them on. At least the lowlife won't question that.

Marlo went over etiquette on greetings and leavings, the Vice President and Secretary showed proper examples with their submissives. The marks and points system, and a few words of advice from the founder. "We also encourage the student population to report any and all misbehavior about Dominant abuse to the club even of they are not actual club members."

"Starting today, in addition to the collars, both Dominants and Submissives will get a Club Membership Bracelet. This idea was brought to us by the Treasurer, he believes that these things can help us recruit more people to the club." Marlo held up his. "They have been personalized. So when you graduate, it will be a keepsake that says you were in the club. Your Submissives will get one as well if they take part in tomorrow's Mandatory Submissive Meeting. If they do not take part then they will not get their bracelets and with out their bracelets, they will not be able to enter the club room or take part in club activates till they do attend a Mandatory Meeting. And every time they do not take part, you as a Dominant will get a automatic point. You are responsible to seeing that they do come to meetings and attend activities. So if you want to avoid racking up Automatic Points or AP, they need to come tomorrow because you may never know when the next meeting will be, a week, a month, two months....a lot can happen between that time and there are many school things going on that will have us postpone meetings till later."

Good, I got you there, Nick. You won't be able to escape. "So please tell your Submissives to show up tomorrow, I am afraid that we can not give you their bracelets, we have to sign them off by name in person and have their signature as well One more thing, with out your bracelets, you can not enter the club room or do club activities as well and that counts as AP."

"Please line up, the first row and second then third and so on." Taiyou stood with a clipboard, the Secretary and the Treasurer were standing guard over the bracelets, they already had a few personalized in hand of those first in line. And one of them had Nicks in there pocket, not personalized yet but programed.

Marlo counted each bracelet to each person as they came and got it and then it was Nicks turn he tapped Jorge on the shoulder who produced the bracelet. "Oh my, it turns out that in all of our efforts to finish personalizing them, we miss counted. I'll hurry to get this done." He rushed into one of the offices to burn the name into it and add a few things to the program. He came back, by then everybody had gotten theirs and had left.

"Pitch, as I said, Kail needs to come tomorrow or he won't be able to get his. Since you came today, that mark will be taken off but if Kail doesn't come, that is a point and two marks on your name." He handed it to him but gripped the wrist firmly. "I should also let you know that you are not widely welcomed by the others here, in case you haven't figured it out yet. The other Dominants have expressed their concern and many have stated that they want you gone from the club for good."

Lowlife, I am applying the pressure right were its needed, you will soon cave. Nor you will be very welcomed in the other clubs, your name has a black stain on it and there will be a lock out on you once I can get you gone. "Take care of Kail, you are responsible for him." He released the wrist. He only held on tightly enough so the man would know that Marlo is a very strong opponent to go up against.

Once Nick was gone he turned to the others. "In five, four, three, two, one." A senior club member crashed through the door, carrying a very important parcel. "Thank you." Marlo took it from him and he left, locking the door behind him. "This is a rush order, glad to see that my pal at the Stealth Branch came through. Special order to specs." He pointed to his office and closed the door behind them all once inside.

"These are the Submissive Bracelets. They are designed to never come off, unless their Dominant inputs a code. Since Kail's number is active in the background of mine, I will be the only one who can unlock it. Nick won't be able to do anything, no matter how much he tries, it can not be taken off. And since the "supposed" investigation begins tomorrow, things go down." He held the bracelet up. "I figured that once Kail gets his, Nick would take it. Know your enemy Nick, cause this school's faculty has once been a member or part time member or their mate was a member of the club and they are watching out for us." Marlo put the box in his school bag. "I have a feeling that Nick will try to get in here tonight, to try to steal Kail's bracelet. We are not going to give him the benefit of doing so, so I will take them home and do it myself."

"Lock up tightly when you leave, and make sure you activate your side of the security wall." Marlo opened up his tablet to check to make sure that every Dominants had synced with their Gram. "Going according to plan. Nick is on his way out. I have a few more things to talk to the Dean about. Later guys."

Marlo had locked up his office, the blast door securely in place and his own door locked up, then left.

Marlo laughed to himself, softly on his walk to the Deans office. He only held back on a quarter of his strength, there was no need to show full power. If he wanted too, he could have snapped Nicks wrist with the right tork and levrage. "Oh, his grip, I'd rate it a three, it wasn't really that strong to begin with. I really am a formidable opponent to begin with. Careful lowlife, you are showing your true colors."

"Besides...you're the one feeding him lies, I will never ever leave Kail again, since I am home in this city, I will be at his beck and call. I will be were he can get to me. We are after all, engaged. And I am Alpha Dominant, I can take him from you any time." Giving a soft squeeze to his bag, he could feel the bracelets.

He finished talking to the Dean and left. He felt something hurt inside and left the grounds, he followed the feeling to a playground. "This is the spot where we used to play, sneak out at night and return home with dirty cloths." Marlo sat on a swing. "Its so memorable." He heard scuffling of shoes and turned to see Kail walking. His heart sank! Marlo stood up and ran to Kail.

"Kail, what happened? Did Pitch do this to you?" He took Kail by the shoulders. "Please talk to me." His eyes begged Kail. "Please..." He pleaded.

Hell! Marlo had to restrain himself from marching over to Pitch and busting the guy up pretty big, everything from a broken nose to broken bones. Instead, he pulled Kail in a embrace, using every strength to hide his trembling. "See, you just did." But his own voice failed him, he couldn't hide the shakiness. My heart hurts so much, just end it already! Just tell the lowlife in front of the entire club that you quit and that you'd become mine.

He firmly picked Kail up, he dropped a few coins into a nearby vending machine to get a couple cold cans and went to go sit on a park bench. He pressed one of the cold cans to Kail's swollen cheek. He kept his firm embrace on Kail, he didn't want to let him go, not when he was like this and not ever.

Marlo wasn't sure if Kail would run if he set him down and told him not to go anywhere if he ran to the convenience store for a cold pack. The can choice was better and there was more if he needed. "Does it really matter right now?" Marlo opened the other can and pressed it to Kail's lips. "You just talked."

Marlo pulled out his Gram and opened up the codes for the Submissives. "By protocol section 3, article 5: A Submissive must report any and all abusive actions to the club officers. And Protocol section 5 article 1: A Dominant will not be tolerated for abusing a Submissive. Protocol 7 article 6: A Submissive can leave his Dominant if they are abusive if one or more of the following happens: Punches that leave bruising; punching out of anger; kicking that leaves bruising; kicking out of anger; assaulting with a weapon such a gun, knife or anything that can be used as a weapon to harm or hurt; use of fists, feet or any other form of the body that can cause damage such as: breaking the skin, broken bones, bruising, swelling and redness. Code 7, Protocol 1: A Submissive can break any other rules told to them by their Dominant if it threatens or matters to their own personal safety and life."

He put his Gram away. "I say that it does matter, Kail. You are making our parents worry, making the club worry and yes, making me worry of which is not cool." He took a sip from the can himself. "If I did have a Submissive and I was doing these things with out second thought, then yes, I would tell him to break the rules for his own sake. Not my own, his. It is not a matter about me, it would be a matter about him, his own life comes first in any situation." He took another sip. "In the end, I will have to bow out disgracefully, it may be very uncool but I'd be satisfied knowing that they did it for their own regards." He smiled.

Could he feign ignorance about last night? "When was the last time you talked with your parents?" He asked softly. "My parents told me that they haven't been able to hear from you." He could feel Kail move away and he cradled the not swollen cheek. "I wanted to hear your voice, hear you call out to me."

"Then we won't talk about it any more if that is what you want." Marlo pressed his mouth against an ear and whispered. "I got your message, its pretty clever how you sent it to me." He took a hand and placed above his heart. "Shocked me to right here."
