I must be crazy, or really love you readers.... Here's the first chapter of Teh sequel to Deadly Love. I hope that everyone enjoies it! I would like to note that I will try to make this longer than the first, and that there will be side stories. As such, there is a chance i will get writer's block. if in the event that does happen, i ask that you do not maul me to pieces. Especially if I started another stroy, just to empty my head of other ideas that block the thought of this story.
I also ask that if anybody sees any mistakes taht they correct me via review or private message. Readers are encouraged to ask questions. I can (and probally will be sarcastic) in answering, but I will try my hardest not to be. Thsi sequel is set obviously five years after the events of Deadly Love.
DISCLAIMER: KINGDOM HEARTS OBVIUSLY ISN'T MINE SO I WON'T BE POSTING ANYMORE DISCLAIMERS. THIS DISCLAIMER GOES THROUGH THE WHEOL STORY!
A lot changes in 5 years. I know that. In 5 years, the world changed as the existence of vampires was revealed to the public. In 5 years, hunts were issued dropping the already low vampire population by half. In 5 years, it became required to have your teeth checked daily because vampires couldn't hide them. In 5 years, I learned that I loved a vampire. In 5 years, I lost the one I cared the most about because he had to run from a hunter, my uncle.
The world is hostile to vampires now, the only thing I can do is help vampires that make it to the bar that the gang and I made, and hope that Zexion is still alive.
The bar I made with my friends is a small one located in my hometown. It's called the Devil's Dance. Larxene named it. We opened it and dedicated it to vampires and people who, like me and the gang, support vampires.
The gang hadn't supported vampires at first. They were scared and panicked like every other person. They called me, and they noticed that I wasn't freaking out. It was then that I told them that Zexion was one. I also told them how I loved him. At first they thought I was crazy. Sora, however, decided that I was his friend and no matter what he would stick by me and my decisions. He was intrigued by vampires and wanted to get to know them. 'After all' he said, 'prejudice is ignorance and ignorance is not knowing.' After that Larxene and Marluxia joined me and Sora. Then, about 2 years ago, my cousin, Axel, moved to America and together we all decided that once we hit the legal age, we would try to help vampires. Axel, being a year older, hit the legal age first and decided on opening a bar. Larxene, helped him name it.
Of course, we didn't publically announce we were safe to vampires and a haven to them, but Axel told his family, who supported vampires as well. From them, their friends who supported vampires came to the bar/club and with them came vampires. Eventually, we started getting random vampires from all over the world, just seeking a semi-safe place.
To placate my uncle, I used the rouse that there were hourly teeth inspections, and that I had a hunter in the room. The first bit was a lie, the second bit, not so much. Although a hunter, Leon was actually mate to German vampire by the name of Cloud. Apparently, Leon was only after bad ones, not ones like Cloud who never hurt anyone. I haven't met Cloud yet, but Leon said he was going to visit soon.
My sister moved to Germany for school. My parents moved to Florida. They were convinced the heat would keep vampires away. Like I said, Axel's family didn't care too much, and accepted vampires. From what I had last heard, Ariel, my aunt and Axel's mom, decided that our idea was great and together with Eric, her husband, she started a bar. She named it after ours and other vampire supporters started opening bars with the same name. Now our bar is a world wide safe haven for vampires, and hunters had no idea.
Marluxia, Axel and I all worked there. Sora was still a year too young, so he just hung out in the back. We occasionally got a vampire supporter as a helper. We got our blood for vampires from supporters who got bad blood from hospitals or blood drives. As it was bad blood, it wasn't noticed when it went missing.
I was bartender tonight. Leon was the bouncer. Axel was off doing the music, a job I usually took. Larxene was helping Sora with lights. Tonight was the busiest I had seen the place. Vampires didn't usually group together, but I had counted at least twenty so far. Add that to the hundred or so supporters and that's a lot of people for a small bar/club. A new face make their way up to the bar. I grinned.
"What you want? Beer? Vodka? Shot of blood?" he looked shocked at me, then smild and laugh.
"Is it that noticeable?" He had a European accent to his voice.
"No… I've just been trained to tell vamps apart from humans. It's all in their auras."
"You must be Demyx. Leon told me about you."
"Then I guess your Cloud." He nodded, and I studied him. His eyes were a bright azure, which seemed to glow. His hair was spiked upwards and was platinum in color. He was built heavily, but not too much. He looked a perfect match for Leon.
"Yes, I'm Cloud."
"Well, stay and make your self at home." I flashed him a quick smile before going and serving other three people who stopped by the bar. Shot of blood, beer mixed with whiskey and finally a Shirley Temple with just a hint of blood. I knew these comusters like the back of my hand.
Hayner was a dirty blonde with hazel eyes. He often wore camouflage, he was a soldier. Of course the army didn't know he was a vampire, he filed his teeth down every month and drank his blood like a normal person drinks a drink. He liked the shot of blood, occasionally he would ask for rum added, but that was rare. His hazel eyes shined with amusement at me. "Am I that predicable?" he asked when I placed the shot down in front of him. I nodded.
Pence was the only human in the group of three. He was on the chubby side with dark hair and eyes. Clearly Japanese or the vampire word for it, Wutian. He was never seen without his camera, which made since because he was a photographer. He preferred the beer mixed with whiskey. "Guess I'm predicable too." He laughed.
Olette was Hayner's mate. He found her in Europe, but he wouldn't say where. She had fair skin, with large bright green eyes. Her chocolate hair was braided into two braids. Her favorite color was orange, which was painfully obvious due to her always wearing orange. She liked the Shirley Temple with a hint of blood. "Of course we're predicable, we always get the same thing!" She giggled. Hayner gestured towards Cloud.
"Who's he?"
"The bouncer's mate. Came from Germany."
"The hunter has a mate? Rewind… a vampire mate?" It was no hidden fact that Leon was a hunter, but the vampires seemed to know that he was no issue as long as they were no issue, thus they often ignored him.
"Yeah."
"Germany… it's an… interesting country…." Olette sighed. I had suspicion she had been in every European country as she always had something to say about what ever country I named.
"Interesting is one word for it." Cloud entered the conversation, and they all started to converse. I made my leave and worked on more customers.
"Anything I can get you?" They shifted uneasily to my bright nature. I evaluated them. There were two. They both wore black clothes. One was a blond; he had a scar across his face, opposite than Leon's. His eyes were icy blue. The other, was shorter and female. She had silverfish purple hair that covered her face much like how Zexion's had. Her red eye studied me.
"Vodka." I could barely hear her soft voice over the music.
"Hint of blood in it?" The couple's eyes widened.
"Uhh… yeah. She'll take that," He was human, she was vampire. I mused as I fulfilled the order.
"He your mate?" I asked her while nodding towards the guy. She blushed slightly and looked away.
"Don't worry about Dem, he helped found this place. He could be a hunter, has the training, but he's as supportive to vampire rights as any vampire. He loves us!" Hayner shouted from the other side of the bar. I grinned. Good ol' Hayner.
"That true?" The male asked.
"Yep. Cousin founded this place at my suggestion. That was about a year ago, now, since I'm old enough, I help run the place. I love vampires just as much as anyone else you will find here." The girl blinked at me. I gave her the drink, she sipped on it daintily. "Sure you don't want anything?"
"Nah, we just came in here to get her something… she was thirsty."
"I know. That's why I asked about the hint of blood. I can give you a shot of blood if you want. Free of charge to hungry vamps." They exchanged a glance. He nodded.
"Please."
"'K!" I chirped.
"I suppose you knew she was hungry because, like that one guy shouted, you've had hunter training?" I nodded, and handed her the shot of blood. She dumped it all in the drink she originally had.
"Let me know if you want anything else. I can also supply safe houses for up to a few days." With those parting words I went back to Hayner, who needed more to drink. This continued on for the rest of the night.
The couple, I found out, had fled Japan. They came here thinking it was safe, when they came upon here. The girl's name was Fujin, Fuu for short. Seifer was the male. They bought a safe house for a few days, they planned to continue running. I wished them good luck, and continued on with my job.
This is what we did. We helped starving vampires. We gave them a safe place to stay for a while. We told them the latest safest countries. It was all we could do. Hell, the person supposed to check teeth actually filed the teeth down so vampires could blend in in public. We did what he had to do. If we were caught, we would be in serious trouble, but we hadn't been caught yet, so we continued on. It was dangerous, but it had to be done. If we didn't, who would?
If anyone is curious about Demyx's family, I posted about them in Deadly Love. Yes... Ariel, Eric and Melody are based off the little mermaid. Once again, I hope you all enjoyed the story!
