"Close your eyes. I know what you see. The darkness is high and you're in ten feet deep."
The rain outside slowly pattered against the coffins as tears fell in line.
"But we've survived more terrible monsters than sleep. And you know I, will be here to tell you to breathe." I looked to the heavens as my own tears mingled with the roses people placed on the obsidian lids. "Tu sei mio soldatino, La ragione per cui vivo."
"You're my little soldier. The reason I live." People whispered shakily as I in turn walked forward and placed my rose down. "Non ti scordar di me."
"Don't forget me." their quiet voices roamed over the graveyard around us as I watched the rose covered boxes slip slowly into the ground yet I still had to continue singing even though my heart was breaking with every new word. "Io vegliero su di te."
"I'm watching over you." I clenched my fists as I watched as others stepped forward throwing a handful of dirt into the graves. Lightning flashed through the sky with the faint roll of thunder as I sobbed quietly as I could sing no more but couldn't help as I crouched in between both of the holes feeling a strong hand support my shoulder. "I will miss you." I kissed the edges of my fingers and rested them on both markers that stood before me. "I love you mother." I turned to face the other marker, "I love you father."
The words tasted like ash in my mouth.
"Piccolo James" a voice holding my families accent curled above me. "It's time to go."
"Carry on. I need a bit of time"
"But James-"
"GO!" I snarled and watched as the people quickly stepped back away from me fearfully but still cast me sympathetic glances as they trudged away under the cover of umbrellas while I took on the full torrent of the rainfall.
At the edge of the clearing I took notice of another boy. He was dressed completely in black and his brown curls fell across his eyes so I couldn't make out their colour. To say he was handsome would have been an understatement. It seemed as though the whole air gravitated towards him.
As the rain fell harder my eyes began to adjust. "Was it you?" I whispered knowing perfectly well that he could hear me.
He didn't budge.
My cold, fake emerald gaze locked on him as the pounding of my heart and down pour began to feel almost painful. "Was it you?" the figure made a nod of his head and my gaze changed into a boring scorch as I felt heated tears cloud my sight.
I knew what he was.
What we were
I began to walk back and forth between the two graves as I picked up a sledgehammer from a near by wall. "You shouldn't do that." The boy whispered with a lilac voice was his hand rested on my shoulder. Now he was close I could see his blood covered eyes.
"You don't know me. You don't know them. Besides this isn't for you." I twirled and smashed the grave with a quick burst of anger. "I've done what was asked of me. Haven't you made my life bad enough with what you did to me?"
"I never meant-"
"For me to live through it? For me to turn out to be even stronger than you thought? For me to be your worst nightmare?"
"I never meant to hurt someone I loved."
"There's just one problem with that."
In the blink of an eye we were back to back as I rested my head on his shoulder blades feeling an eternal anger, gnawing viciously at me from my marble insides. "You don't love me. Why would you do this to someone you love? I lost everything."
"I killed them so we could be together. They were torturing you."
"Then what would this be? Is this really a better alternative to what I am dealing with, Peter? For gods sake! I'm a murderer!"
"How can you be…? I killed-"
"They linked me to the case Peter! They made me the prime suspect!"
"Come live with the clan! We can keep you safe… we can make it so much easier for you."
"No." I shook my head as he turned and grasped my hands pleading. His touch sent jolts of electricity through me and for a moment a distant part of my brain recognised what he used to be to me; a friend, a shoulder to cry on, a boy I loved with my heart.
But what was left of my life now.
My contacts began to burn away from the venom in my eyes revealing the similar blood filled gaze that was resembled so exactly onto the boy who had changed me. "Funny isn't it." I shoved my hands in my pockets and began walking down the long winding path as he followed in my footsteps. "They say love changes you. I had no idea how right that saying truly was."
"James, don't be an idiot. Come with me!" his hand reached out then came to a stop as I focused my entire concentration onto him while a grin slowly took the corner of my mouth.
"You gave me so much more than just immortality." I hissed and watched as his body stiffened then swung around in front of me under my grip. "I'm a very gifted boy wouldn't you say? Seventeen and probably one of the most deadliest vampires there is in these parts." My hiss turned into a comforted purr as I let him go and carried on my way feeling a confidence slowly take me in hold.
"James it's not safe out there… what if you can't control yourself?"
"Then you will have more blood on your hands." I snapped.
"I don't want to leave you like this."
"You left me off far worse five days ago. You left me writhing and burning in agony."
"I wanted to help you!"
"HELP!?"
I turned sharply and watched his body rose off the ground as anger reined in my mind and I felt myself loosing control, finding new strength with coursing rage. "You made me a monster!"
"Only if you now view yourself as one."
"There was a time where those velvet lips and satin words would hold me tighter than no other." I placed my hand on his mouth as if to prove to myself just how right I was. "Funny how the time has changed." I watched as he fell to the floor and immediately snapped back up grabbing hold of my arm and our deadly gazes locked once again.
"I can't just let you go out there."
"You ruined my life you bastard!"
"Then let me fix it!"
Behind his tainted eyes I could just imagine what once had been warmth. "HEY YOU TWO!" the same voice of the man who had been stood over me earlier sounded as he began to run over to us.
I sniffed and felt a delicious scent fill me from head to toe and involuntarily a gasp escaped my lips. It was as thought the four seasons had came alive and now fed into the thirst and hunger which was driving me absolutely mad.
"James, don't!"
But Peter was too late as I rushed forward grabbing the man by the throat and lifting him off the ground. "PUT HIM DOWN-"
"Oh give it a break." I imagined him coming to a halt and he fell with a thud onto the ground though his eyes still betrayed how frantic he was. His will battering against the sired power which he had inadvertently given to me, by making me this disgraced beast which I now was. "Now, I'm ever so thirsty." I turned the guys head with my thumb slightly so the vein in his neck was exposed. I watched with heightened eyes how it pulsed exaggeratedly to my eyes. Pumping and beating loudly persistent to me as I rubbed my nose softly against it. Inhaling as much of the scent as I could possibly allow myself to. "I'm dying for a drink."
"Piccolo James-"
He took a sharp intake of breath and his heart began to beat faster pouring that scent into my nose.
In his eyes I could make my reflection out. I wasn't that tall, just a bit shorter than Peter. I had golden locks of perfect hair which spiked forward magnificently over a sculpted pale face and slightly stained rouge lips which drew people in. My suit was soaked and sticking to my skin from the sheer amount of beating it had taken from the harsh rain. "Shush, shush." I cooed softly, gently rubbing my thumb across his cheek, as though I was the adult and he was the child. "This is only going to hurt a lot." I opened my mouth wide and sank my teeth into the man's neck as he collapsed forward into my hold, whimpering slightly as I inhaled the warm liquid which dulled the burning in my throat. My eyes burned with the agony and I could only guess what horrific sight my face was as a fire burned in my eyes and my teeth grew sharper, elongating into the flowing current of blood.
As he ran dry I tossed his carcass to the side next to Peter while I tentatively licked the droplets of blood from my finger tips. I was pissed off just how quickly he had run dry "You should have killed me." I smirked. I could only guess that the sight of my eyes burned as I turned my head back to him. Exerting the full extent of my puppet master skill over him. Trying with every ounce of desperation to make sure his body stayed pinned to the ground. Where he belongs. A chuckle escaped my thoughts and I found myself laughing, unable to handle to raw emotion of growing bitterness.
"I warned you." he growled as he slowly got to his feet exerting under every effort.
"Stay down!" I snarled forcing my entire will onto him to fall to the floor but all it did was slow him down more. There was no stopping him. Peter was as stubborn as I was as full of hate.
"I warned you I would take you to our clan, even if it was by force!" his gaze locked with mine and I felt myself getting lost in those cloudy eyes as darkness passed over me.
That bastard. I thought as everything started going blank.
Where had my life gone wrong?
