Damien's POV
Lachlan and Nikolai had helped me fix my throat a few days ago. I was still trying to get used to using my voice and had a sore throat almost constantly, but it was getting better.
"Good morning Damien!" I heard a voice behind me say. Lachlan had finally convinced me to sleep with the two of them in the bed. My couch was nice but after sleeping on it for a few months it had became really uncomfortable. The bed was so comfortable and I got to snuggle between the two guys that I had feelings for so it was a win-win scenario.
"Mornin" I mumbled sleepily before I turned to my other side and snuggled deeper into Lachlan's chest.
"What are we doing today?" He asked me softly as he rubbed my back.
"I need to get a few things from the store so I'll probably go out." I told him.
"Th-that's not a go-od idea to go al-one." Nikolai piped up from behind me before hugging me closer to him. I sighed happily before responding to him.
"You're probably right, you two can come with me though." I said thoughtfully. The day after I had gotten my voice back, word had spread like wildfire throughout the community that Rylan was attacked by the three of us.
Even though I had nothing to do with it, the townsfolk hated us and spat profanities at us whenever we went out. They especially hated me so I was the biggest target for all of the harassment we received from the others.
"Ok, yeah that sounds like a good idea." Lachlan said.
After we had agreed on a plan, we all slowly got out of bed and got ready for the day.

We all piled out of the house and walked to the store with little to no trouble along the way. It was when we got to the store when I started to fell incredibly uneasy and made sure to keep a close eye on my surroundings.
"I'm going to grab something real quick, I'll be right back." Lachlan said and then disappeared into a aisle further down from us.
After a few minutes passed I felt a chill run down my spine, something wasn't right.
"Where's Lachlan, have you seen him since he left?" I asked Nikolai as I scanned my eyes across everything I could.
"No, we sh-should go fin-nd him." Nikolai said.
We walked around the store, first starting with the aisle I watched him go down. He wasn't there.
It wasn't long before I heard something that made my blood run cold. It was a faint yell for help that came from the corner of the store.
Nikolai and I looked at each other for a brief moment before sprinting to the commotion. When we got there I saw Lachlan being held down by three people and a fourth person had a knife and was dangerously close to stabbing him.
"Put. that. down." I told the perpetrator in a steady voice. I could feel my body start to tremble as a familiar scratching feeling dread up my throat.
The people in question quickly looked at me before going back to what they were doing. Spiders were flowing from me and crawling towards them from the foundation of the building. The ones coming from me were funnel web spiders. This just proves how upset I was at this current moment.
"Shit! It's the freak! Hurry the fuck up, we need to leave." One of the guys said.
The guy with the knife lunged at Lachlan, landing a few stabs to his gut before running off. He was fast but he wasn't fast enough and got covered in a pile of spiders, he accomplices following suit.
They screamed bloody murder as they got covered in spiders that bit them instantly. No doubt they'd be dead before they could even think about doing this to anyone else.
"L-Lachlan! Are you o-okay?" Nikolai said as he rushed to his aid.
We rushed out of the store together, taking him back to the house so I could treat his wounds.
"The stab wounds aren't too deep so he'll be fine. He just needs to rest for the week and take it easy." I told a worried Nikolai ad I finished patching Lachlan up.
"Thank you." Nikolai said with relief his voice. He sat next to Lachlan where I had placed him on the bed and grabbed ahold of his hand.
I took this as a chance to leave the room and give them some space. I knew they weren't just friends but I wasn't 100% sure what they really were but I knew Nikolai wanted some time to himself.
I went downstairs and decided to work for a few hours before heading back up to the room to see if I could get either of them anything. At this point Lachlan should have woken up too.
As I walked up the stairs I decided to be quiet, just incase Lachlan was resting, I didn't want to wake him up.
"I think we should tell him tomorrow. I really hope he decides to join." I heard Lachlan say.
Nikolai hummed in agreement before replying. "Fr-from what I've se-seen, I think he f-eels the same w-way."
What were they even talking about?
"Gosh I hope so. I love you both so much." Lachlan said right before I was about to knock on the door.
What?
