My Brave Darren

DarrenXLarten Lemon

By MangaMistress

This is my second Darren Shan lemon. I got so much response with the other one I thought I should make another. I would really like to put these on but I can't, my friends from school read some of my stuff and they already think I'm weird enough without seeing that I write lemons. Oh well. Read, review and most of all enjoy. Oh, before I forget, does everyone who reads lemons, read them before bed so that way they're horny enough to go master-bate? Just a general question.

For many a year, I, Larten Crepsley had been taught of the world of vampirism under the guidance of my mentor and good friends Seba Nile. I was his assistant. Most of what I know was taught by his hand. When my teaching was complete, I ventured in the world as a full vampire. I made a well-known reputation for myself; I became a general and was nearly invested into the vampire clan as a Prince. But, that life was not for me. I enjoy the basic life offered to a vampire. The life of a prince is mostly secluded within the mountain, the life that my own assistant must now endure.

The acts that led Darren to becoming a vampire Prince still astonish me in many ways. When Darren accepted the trials of initiation I could not have been more proud of him. He quickly learned how important respect and honour were to Vampires. I knew he was frightened, anyone would be with his disadvantage, but he remained strong throughout. If he had not been so badly burnt he would have surely passed them all. Sadly he did not and he ran away to escape the sentence of death. At first I was ashamed of Darren, any disgrace of his is also mine to bare. I discarded the feeling when I realised Darren would have never thought of something like that on his own. Someone put him up to it. Kurda. The traitor!

Still if it were not for Kurda, Darren would have never discovered his plans.

After all that had happened I was beginning to Darren in a new light

I do miss my beloved Arra, but she is gone now and my heart yearns to be loved. The kind of love I want Darren to give me.

Darren is unaware of this, many Vampires have taken this path in their lonely lives. Very few women become Vampires and it is unwise to have relationships with humans. So sooner or later boredom overcomes us and we give in.

With his recent purge, Darren has become a very handsome looking prince. His hair grew long and waved around his body like a chocolate ocean, which he eventually cut short because he was getting fed up with the jealous looks from Mika.

He has grown taller too, almost my height and his face, I'm glad to say, has not changed since that night I blooded him; still the soft, innocent features of a young child.

He unwillingly attracts a lot of attention. It amuses me sometimes to see those confused looks on his beautiful face when other vampires say things to him. The dirty things they imply in his ear. It angers me at the same time. Darren is still young in our eyes and does not deserve to be treated like an adult who has had all of life's experiences. Or maybe I am just jealous. You see, it frightens me at the thought of how he would respond to me if were to act that way around him. Would he return my feelings for him? Would he love me in the way I wish to love him? Or would he ignore and reject me like all the others. Me being his mentor, he could be really offended and demand I never come near him again. He is a Prince so he has that kind of power over me.

I think back to the trails again and remember every ounce of courage he used to face them. How I wish I had that bravery of his. I've faced many dangers as a vampire but I cannot even work up the nerve to tell Darren how I feel about him. It strikes such fear into my heart that I wonder if the face of death is a less of a scare.

The closest I will ever be to this brave boy is by his side as I teach the ways of the clan. Any closer would be to violate his personal space. But I want so desperately to tough him, more than just a pat on the shoulder for making a smart decision or a clip behind the ear when he takes the chance to make a snide remark about me. I have made a decision. Tonight, I will, be close to Darren even if he does not know it.

Next chapter is so much better, I just wanted to see how much response I would get for this one to know if you all like it. Please review and next chapter will be up shortly. Go Shan Fans!
