It was a normal day or so Catlin thought, it wasn't perfect, but she couldn't recal why.
Catlin awoke to find D gone, she searched the whole castle. Then when she was about to give up she spotted D on a hill froma castle window.
Catlin went to D,
Catlin:"D?"
He looked at her and smilled,
D:"Yes?"
Catlin:"I-I... oh nevermind. What are you doing out here?"
D:"Watching the sun rise"
D faced forward again. Catlin sighed and leaned agenst D's chest.
Catlin:"D?"
D:"Hmm?"
Catlin:"I was just thinking...".
D:"You plan on leaving me don't you?"
D sounded hurt,
Catlin:"No!... Well actually... yes... please forgive me...".
D shoved Catlin away,
D:"Then leave! I guess I mean nothing to you!"
Catlin:"D!"
D dashed away with tears in his eyes.
Catlin:"D! Wait! I'm sorry!"
She ran after him.
Left Hand:"Whats the matter? You actually love that girl?"
D's hand questioned him. D had locked himself in the Art Room and now stood looking at pictures.
D:"And what if I do?"
Left Hand:"It's none of my buisness! But I know what your thinking"
D:"Oh really? Tell me".
Left Hand:"You're thinking about bitting her, admit it"
There was a great silence than an answer,
D:"I am".
Catlin sat in her room crying,
Catlin:"I shouldn't have told him I should of just left a note".
Catlin felt aweful, she didn't know she meant so much to D, but she couldn't stay.
Catlin was awoke by a scream it sounded like D
Catlin:"D?!".
Catlin quickly ran to the Art Room, D hadn't left there, Catlin busted the doors open. D sat on the floor looking at Catlin,
Catlin:"What was it?"
D stood and went to Catlin.
D:"Nothing, just a bad dream"
Catlin:"What of?"
D:"It's not important"
Catlin:"Fine, but i'm still leaving".
D looked at her with the cooldest stair,
D:"Fine"
He directed his attention to the painting of his mom and dad.
Catlin:"You're just going to let me go?"
D:"Yes, now go before I change my mind"
Catlin:"Well...".
Catlin couldn't just leave she felt torn,
Catlin:"I've changed my mind"
D:"No you haven't! Now leave!".
Catlin approached D,
Catlin:"D, please, I have"
D:"You haven't! Now go!"
Catlin:"D-"
It happened so fast. D turned, eyes crinsom, Catlin tried running but D caught her, she felt his accursed breathe her neck.
Then the next thing she knew she was in her room as if it had been a bad dream.
Catlin approached D slowly,
D:"Sleep well?"
Catlin:"Yeah, you?"
D:"I didn't get much sleep, but i'll be fine".
Catlin sighed, surely it'd been just a very bad dream,
Catlin:"What are you up to?".
D was examining the pictures in the Art Room,
D:"Just looking"
Catlin:"Looking at what? his painting? I thought you hated him".
D:"I do. But I was just remembering this one"
D pointed to a picture, it'd been painted over with black.
Catlin:"What was it of?"
D:"It was a family portrait"
Catlin:"Why is it painted over then?"
D:"I did it"
Catlin:"Why?"
D:"Cause I was angry when she died, I thought it was all 'his' fault so I did this".
D sounded sad almost,
Catlin:"Did you ever get to know her?"
D:"Not really, 'he' expirimented on me so much I never saw much of 'her'".
Catlin:"Must of been harsh growing up with that"
D:"You have no idea"
Catlin:"Your right I don't",
Silence fell.
Catlin:"I'm going to look around, be back in a bit"
Catlin left,
Left Hand:"Arn't you going to tell her?".
D:"No"
Left Hand:"No? She has a right to know!".
Suddenly Catlin came in,
Catlin:"Miss me?"
Left Hand:"Tell her! Or I will!"
Catlin:"Tell me what?"
Left Hand:"Pretty boy here-"
D balled his fist.
Catlin:"D? What was that about?"
D:"Nothing"
Caltin:"Didn't sound like nothing"
D unballed his hand,
Left Hand:"He bit you!"
His hand spat. Catlin gasped,
Catlin:"D is it...?"
D:"It is"
Catlin wanted to cry,
Caltin:"Why?! Because I was going to leave you?".
D:"Yes"
Catlin rubbed the marks hardly believing it,
Catlin:"D... how could you!"
Catlin ran out,
Left Hand:"She won't go far"
D followed anyways.
Catlin had to stop she was chocking on her tears, a black gloved hand came to rest on her shoulder. Catlin looked at D,
Catlin:"I'm not going back!"
D:"I'm not asking you to, but I ask you this".
Catlin:"What?"
D:"What is your reason for leaving?"
Catlin:"Uh... I just guess i'm afraid... afraid of you maybe".
Left Hand:"Whats the worst that could happen? He's already bit you. In my opinion thats the worst he can do to you!".
His hand had a point,
Catlin:"Thats true I guess I got frightened and ran, it's the human in me".
D:"Will you stay? Or go? The choice is yours, and yours alone"
D sounded a little sad. Catlin stood up, there was only one answer she could give and wouldn't regret it for the world.
Catlin:"Yes. I could never leave you D! Not now! Not ever!"
Catlin hugged D he smilled.
A couple days later Catlin had awoke up sick but shrugged it off as nothing.
Catlin:"What are you doing?"
D stood in a doorway looking out, he looked at Catlin.
D:"Watching the rain"
Catlin:"Why?"
D:"It's calming, just listen",
D was right the sound of the rain was calming. Catlin leaned agenst D's chest, she liked being this close to him it brought her comfort and sometimes warmth if she was lucky.
D:"You ever think about having kids?"
D had just asked a strange question.
Catlin:"Sometimes"
D:"I've never thought about it I always thought it'd be alone, till I meet you".
Catlin:"Well, i'm glad and I wouldn't change this for the world"
D:"If you had a daughter what would you name her?".
Catlin:"I'd name her Dracania"
D:"Why Dracania?"
Catlin:"I don't know, but i've always liked it"
D:"What about your son?".
Catlin:"I'd name him Cole"
D:"Why Cole?"
Catlin:"I'm not sure, it just sounds like a good name, why?".
D:"Nothing, just cerious"
Catlin:"Mr. Cerious today?"
D smilled at that and Catlin giggled.
Catlin awoke to find D missing then suddenly he showed up.
Catlin:"Where were you?"
D:"Looking around"
Catlin:"Are you ok?"
D's voice sounded hoarse.
D:"I'm fine"
More hoarse this time,
Catlin:"You sure? Cause I worry"
D:"Don't worry about me",
Fine this time
Catlin:"Ok... I trust you".
Over the next few days D's voice got worse,
Catlin:"D your not fine! Now you should really stop denying it!".
Catlin convinced D not to speak, for the next three days, she did so then one day D collapsed.
Catlin emediatly knew something was wrong but didn't know what, she started panicing because she was so afraid.
Left Hand:"Calm down!"
Catlin:"Sorry, thats the human in me"
Left Hand:"You need to learn to control that"
Catlin:"Hmph".
Left Hand:"Sassy now, eh?"
Catlin:"Shut up"
Left Hand:"Alright"
Catlin:"How is he?"
Left Hand:"Not to good"
Catlin:"What happened?"
Left Hand:"Allot"
Catlin:"Thats not on an answer".
Left Hand:"Well my bad! You wouldn't have a clue what i'm saying"
Catlin:"Your probably right"
Silence fell it was erie.
Left Hand:"Wells there nothing I can do right now"
Catlin:"What should I do?"
Left Hand:"Heck I don't know, just sit him on the bed for now".
Catlin did as told she wasn't a picky person in the first place and she'd do anything for D.
Catlin sat on the hill outside the castle watching the sun rise reliving when D bit her. She sighed, she wanted to leave but couldn't leave knowing D can't protect himself. And she hadn't felt to great herself she figured it would go away eventually and it wasn't anything.
Catlin was watching the sun set when a black gloved hand was placed in her shoulder. She jumped and looked behind her, D was well enough to walk around but Catlin wouldn't let him hunt. D removed his hand and sat next to Catlin, it felt strange to Catlin to have D sit beside her. She knew it had to be as rare as his smile and laugh, she liked it regardless of how acward it felt. They watched the sunset, D was about to get up,
Catlin:"Wait! Stay awhile and stargaze with me, please".
D sat back down,
Catlin:"Thank you, I use to always stargaze on nights like this, no clouds to block the view".
D:"You like the stars?"
Catlin:"I love them"
D:"I've never had the chance to injoy them"
Catlin:"I suspected this much".
They sat in silence for awhile, it was a very quiet night and Catlin was injoying it. Catlin sighed, she was happy she had nothing to worry about for awhile and D was with her. Catlin stood up,
Catlin:"Staying out?"
D:"I'll be in later"
Catlin nodded and went inside,
Left Hand:"Have you noticed?".
D:"Yes"
Left Hand:"Strange isn't it"
D:"Not really"
Left Hand:"What do you mean 'not really'? You've seen it before?".
D:"Yes"
Left Hand:"Well, I guess I missed that. What is it?"
D:"You don't know?"
Left Hand:"Nope. I have to admit thats something I don't know",
Silence.
D:"You don't remember that one girl?"
Left Hand:"Oh yeah! I wander how she is"
D:"Why are you concerned?".
Left Hand:"I'm not!"
D:"It doesn't matter to me"
Left Hand:"Right, because you've got her, lucky you".
D went inside,
Catlin was painting a picture when D came in,
D:"What are you painting?".
Catlin:"A dragon"
D:"Why a dragon?"
Catlin:"Well i've always been interested in them ever since I was little".
D:"It's lovely so far"
Catlin:"This is just part of the background, i'm no where near done"
D:"It's lovely anyways".
Catlin:"You didn't just come to talk about a painting, did you?"
D:"No, I came to spend time with you painting".
Catlin:"Oh really? The famous Vampire Hunter D paints?"
D smilled at that,
D:"That he does".
They painted till sunlight pecked threw one of the nearby castle windows,
Catlin:"Well I think i'll finish it later"
Catlin was tired. She had finished the background and had started on the dragon,
D:"It's amazing so far"
Catlin:"What are you painting?".
D:"Something from my past"
A sheet covered what D had done,
Catlin:"Oh, sorry I asked"
D:"It's alright, it's behind me now".
Catlin knew he hadn't forgot it, he had accasonal nightmares that frightened Catlin, She always asked what they where about, most of the time it was when he was expirimenting on him and Catlin fell silent.
Catlin awoke to a yell, D was having another nightmare, Catlin quickly ran to his room.
Everything seemed alright,
Catlin:"What was it this time?"
Left Hand:"This one was different"
Catlin:"Different how?".
Left Hand:"There was this girl"
Catlin:"A girl?"
Left Hand:"Yes a girl, please hold all questions till the end"
Catlin:"Sorry".
Left Hand:"She looked to be only three years old, she looked like she could be your daughter".
Catlin gasped and placed a hand to her abdomen, surely thats why she had felt ill!
Catlin:"You mean...?"
Left Hand:"Yes"
Catlin was dumbfounded, she never expected this,
Catlin:"Is it...?"
Left Hand:"Yes".
It was her and D's child, she couldn't believe her ears!
Left Hand:"She said her name was Dracania".
Catlin:"Of course"
Left Hand:"This Noble, Grand Duke Drake, help her captive and... bit her".
Catlin gasped clutching her abdomen scarredly, 'would that really happen? It couldn't!'
Left Hand:"Calm down it's just a nightmare"
Catlin:"Sorry I overreact easily"
Left Hand:"Right".
Catlin:"D? Do you wanna talk this over?"
The silence before the answer was to scarry,
D:"Sure".
Catlin sat on the bed and D leaned agenst the wall,
Catlin:"So... should we celebrate or somethings?".
Left Hand:"Why? It could be allot of things"
Catlin:"She"
Left Hand:"She could be allot of things, we arn't sure witch".
Catlin:"Right..."
Left Hand:"What happens if she's a full Noble? You just abandon her?".
Catlin:"No! I would try my hardest to keep her happy"
Left Hand:"But she would eventually be hunted".
Catlin:"Well your right... I don't know then..."
Left Hand:"She could be human"
Catlin:"Then she'd be able to live life freely".
Left Hand:"As long as no one knows who her parents are"
Catlin:"Right".
Left Hand:"Then theres the last one witch is rare"
Catlin:"Yeah... a dhampir... what then?"
Left Hand:"She has no choice but to be a Hunter".
Catlin:"It seems all the things she could be none would be truelly fair".
Left Hand:"Yes"
Caltin:"If she's a Noble she'll be killed, if she's human the'll kill her if they know we're her parents".
Left Hand:"And"
Catlin:"And if she's like us... she won't get a choice... oh D what are we gonna do?".
D:"I don't know, if she's a Noble we can't let her live, a human she'll have to miss her childhood and dhampir...".
Catlin:"She becomes a Hunter when she's ready..."
Catlin sighed, this wasn't going to be easy.
D:"Wanna go dance in the rain?"
Catlin:"Dance? In the rain?"
D:"Yeah"
Catlin:"Sure"
D:"Alright".
They danced in the rain that night laughing and smilling happaly, like school kids injyoing themselves.
Catlin fell to the ground in allot of pain she had no clue what to think,
Catlin:"D! I need help! Ah!".
Catlin help a bundle smilling while D stood beside her,
D:"Can I see her?"
Catlin:"Sure, but be careful".
D took the bundle so carefully it looked as if he knew how to,
Catlin:"Thats it".
D:"I've never thought i'd get to do this"
He smiles down at his daughter,
D:"Hey Dracania, i'm your dad, D".
Catlin smiles and stands,
Catlin:"And i'm your mom, Catlin"
She peared up at them. She had D's eyes and hair but she didn't resemble Catlin at all,
Catlin:"She looks like her dad".
D:"But she'll be protective just like her mom"
Catlin giggles,
Catlin:"Will you be mommy's little helper?".
Dracania just staired at her blankly then smilled, it was so cute, and D couldn't help but laugh a little. He finally had what he always wanted, a wife, a love, and a child, a girl, a daughter.
