Why do they want me? Rated: PG By: Ari-chan
Notes and disclaimers: This is what happens after you read
every book in the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice and than
begin to read Salem's Lot another book about Vampires by
Stephan King. Haruka, Michiru and related characters belong to
Naoko-sama and her gang, any likeness to Anne's book is not
intentional. And now unto to the fic:
The rain fell down; she made no move to close the windows.
She sat still on the mattress covered in dirty soiled sheets; her
tears long ago dried on her porcelain face. Her aqua hair was
matted and caked with mud from long ago. She looked out the
windows with a black stare.
She thought of home, of her family and what she would be doing
if she were there right now instead of here. Here, in this old run
down ramshackle hut in a remote area of the jungle. They had
taken her from her love and she couldn't forgive them for that.
Who knows what had become of the blond tomboy who had
sworn never to leave her side.
It wasn't her fault; she tried every thing she could to get the
mysterious creatures to leave. Of course they hadn't left, not
until they got what they so desired. They said that she was the
prefect person for the transformation. Neither girl had known
what the beings were talking about but from the sound of it it
wasn't good.
So they had stolen her in the dead of the night as her loved ones
watched or tried to save her. Nothing could save her now. Her
soul was dead; she spoke no more nor ate or drank. She spent
her days either staring out the window at the dense forest as she
did so now, or curled up in fetal position and slept.
No one dared disturb her; the one who had tired had been
violently flung against the wall. She had hidden strength that
now no one dared challenge.
She was beautiful, how many had tried to take her in their arms
and make her surrender her gorgeous body? She hadn't let
them; she had been waiting for the one person who would love
her forever and she had she had pried away from her.
So now here she sat, her soul broken and her mind once again
blank. Her captors watched from a safe distance this lovely
nymph, which they longed to wash, hold and comfort. Their
leader forbid them though to even go close to the room in which
she was imprisoned. It wasn't fair they thought, to leave her
alone when she was in such obvious pain. Even they demons
that they were had some compassion towards her.
"Let me go!" She struggled fiercely in their grasp. "I really don't
want to hurt you. If I had I would have done it long ago. Now let
me go and tell me what you did with her." Her cold steel eyes
settled on those who held her with their iron grip.
"Let her go. She's harmless as long as we have the other one
with us." A tall male approached and the other beings shrank
away into the shadows.
"What'd you do with her? Where did you take Michiru? Tell
me." She snarled.
He responded in a low subdued voice. "Don't worry about her,
she's fine, just fine. We've been waiting for you to come before
we turned her into one of us. Now that you've come we can do
it."
"And just what are you? What kind of demon? I need to know so
I can think of the proper way to dispose of you."
He laughed; it was a deep and low laugh. "You speak with such
confidence. I admire that. But unfortunately all your cockiness
and words won't help to save her." He smiled revealing two
small fangs. "We will let you watch if you promise to behave
your self."
She thought for a moment before answering. "I'll make you a
deal. You let me see her, talk to her, alone and I'll promise to
obey you as long as it doesn't mean harming her. That's the one
thing I refuse to do. How does that sound? You get me to shut
up and obey you if you let me see and talk to her." She looked
in his eyes and tried to read his mind.
He laughed again. "It won't work Haruka. You know it, you can't
read my mind, but here's a surprise I can read yours and might I
say some of those thoughts are not very nice." He raised an
eyebrow. "As for your request. You may talk to her. But after
you do you must remember your part of the deal. You must
obey us, do not fear child we won't make you hurt her. Take her
back to her chamber."
They figures came back out and surrounded her once again.
The man had vanished.
The door opened slowly and still she did not move. The figure
walked to the bed and spoke softly.
"Listen, I am not supposed to be here. I want to help." Finally
the girl turned her deep blue eyes on the figure before her.
"Yes, that's better. Now listen closely. I have seen the one you
have been longing for, the blond one. She made a deal with
Andrei, the leader. She will be coming to see you; he is letting
her talk to you. I thought maybe you would like to get cleaned
up and maybe change you clothes, I have a dress that might fit
you.
" My name is Stella and if you wish to bathe and such you have
to promise to be quiet. But please do speak now where no one
can hear you. I have been longing to hear your voice for I have
imagined it will a beautiful one."
"Since you have decided to show me kindness which none of
your kind had yet to show then I will speak to you. And I do
wish to bathe and be clean once more. When will she be coming
Haruka, the blond one?" She moved of the bed and stood up.
"Soon, very soon. That is why we must hurry. Follow me and
remember do not make a sound. We have very good hearing."
So come." She flung her long black braid over her shoulder and
added softly. "You have a lovely voice, truly you do." She
smiled and for the first time Michiru realized what kind of
creatures she was dealing with.
Stella laughed lightly "Don't worry we won't harm you, at least I
won't. Now we can not delay any longer." They left the room
together.
They shoved her roughly to the ground her head struck the hard
stones. She turned over on her back and saw the chandeliers
lighted with candles. What a strange place she thought.
"I think we should quest out thirst." A tall female hissed.
"No if we do then Andrei will be angry. We don't want him to be
angry; her may kill us all if we do. Burn us alive, or, or worse."
A small one whimpered.
"He wouldn't burn us alive, he doesn't have the nerve." She
answered with a smile. "Now then, any one else want a piece of
this lovely little specimen before us? Hmmm?" She looked
around. "Nobody, alright then I'll take her myself."
She advanced on the blond who stood boldly up.
"You can't hurt me, I know what you are now. I can hurt you like
no other can, hell I'll severe your head off, then where will you
be?" She walked closer to the female vampire that had bared
her fangs.
"Scarlet don't do it! I'll get Andrei, you, even you fear him. I will
get him." A male vampire spoke, his icy blue eyes met her drank
ones in a threatening stare.
"You wouldn't dare, he'd kill you too. Now be gone unless you
want to help me." Haruka took this opportunity and tried to
escape, the vampires guarding the door grabbed her and held
her back so that she could move no more.
"Let me go!" She growled and shoved some roughly to the
ground. Scarlet grabbed her around the waist and pulled her
close to her.
"Do not worry young one I will not let you die." She sank her
teeth into the soft flesh of her neck. Haruka struggled in her
grasp.
"Don't fight it." The same male spoke again; it will only make it
worse. Don't fear her though she won't kill you she speaks the
truth. She won't dare kill you." He looked at the doorway as if
expecting to see some one or something.
Haruka's warm blood continued to flow into Scarlet's mouth.
Haruka felt herself begin to grow weak as her heart slowed
down. She thought only of Michiru and prayed that the same
thing was not happening to her. She let herself relax in the
vampire's arms. Her eyes closed and she fainted.
Michiru was thoroughly enjoying the feel of the perfumed water
in which she sat. She sighed as she felt more water be poured
over her head. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed
this simple luxury. The way she felt right now was
indescribable, she knew that she shouldn't be feeling happy but
at this moment she couldn't help it.
"Stella," She said quietly. "Why do treat me like this? Show me
this kindness?" She looked at Stella; she was quite beautiful
her black hair was rippled from the braids it had been in, her
white skin glowed in the faint candlelight. Yes, she was
beautiful.
"I take care of you because I can not help loving you. You
remind me so much of myself when I was alive. But that was a
long time ago and I'm sure you don't want to hear about it."
"Oh but I do." Michiru turned to face the vampire. "I really
would like to." Stella stared at the girl before her trying to
decide weather or not to tell her.
"I was as young as you are now. I lived in a simple village all the
men wanted to marry me, of course my father forbid it until I was
older. Then one day the enchanting Andrei came. Yes, he is the
leader here; needless to say it was he who made me what I am.
He did love me thought and I loved him. More than words can
say. I begged him to give me the dark magic as he possessed.
He said to wait until we where wed.
"When the day came when we did he took me into his arms and
gave it to me. He taught me the least painful and loving ways to
kill a victim.
"As you can tell, I'm sure, I still have my human kindness to
give." She shut her eyes as if saying all this had been painful.
Michiru saw the pain this was causing but still had one more
question.
"Why does he want me? What is so special about me?"
"For the same reason why I am so kind to you, you remind me of
him. He wants to relive those days so long ago. The day's
before, before…" She trailed off. "Come now we must get you
dressed." She helped Michiru out of the tub and handed her a
towel. "Follow me"
She led the way into a vast chamber and lit a candle. The rooms
furnishing were sparse consisting of a fainting couch, a large
stone coffin, fireplace, and a large mahogany wardrobe.
Stella opened the wardrobe and removed a silver gown of the
finest silk. "I think this will fit, if not I have something else."
She handed the dress to Michiru who dropped the towel to her
feet. The light danced on he curves and Stella turned away.
The dress fit her as if it had been made for her and not for Stella.
Stella began brushing Michiru's hair then braided pearls into it
giving it that look that it was covered in dew. "We must get back
to your chamber. I'm sure they will becoming soon."
Michiru nodded. Then followed her.
End Part one, what do you think? Flames accepted but my
Vampire friends being so afraid of them will extinguish them.
Part 2 will hopefully be coming soon.
For those of you who are reading Ari-chan Does Japan the next
part will be up soon, I promise I just haven't been in the mood
for writing it.
Louis and Lestat forever, Michiru and Haruka Forever. **
