Chapter 1. Age Slowing Potion


It had been a little over a week since Aido had bit me and I was feeling much better. Kaname somehow ended up found out that Aido had bit me and was going to punish him, but I stopped Kaname. I told him that I was fine and reminded him I was a witch, so if Aido did mean me any harm I would do something about it. Kaname said he would dismiss it this time, but because of school rules, he would punish him if he ever did it again. Aido had thanked me for getting him out of trouble then said he was sorry for attacking me like that. I had shrugged and said it was OK, and hid a blush. I didn't want to tell him I liked the feeling I got when he suck on my neck, drinking my blood. Somehow, after he confessed to liking me, we had become best friends instead of girlfriend and boyfriend. Don't ask me how that happened.

I was in my house right now and Aido was with me. I way laying in the couch of the study room with one leg up. Aido was sitting in a chair, closest to the fireplace, with a fire blazing.

"You know, there's going to be a small problem in a couple of years. I'll still be 17 since I age a lot slower then you humans. You'll be, well, much older." I heard Aido say softly and I turned my head to look at him. He had his arms crossed and head down, looking like he was thinking.

"Well, I know of a way to fix that." I said then smiled at the look on Aido's face as he looked at me.

"What do you mean you know a why to fix that? What way?" He asked and I could hear the curiosity (Sorry, I don't know how to really spell that). I smiled as I sat up.

"Easy. I just make a Age Slowing potion." I said then got up, Aido getting with me.

"A potion?" He asked like he couldn't believe me.

"Uh, yeah. That's one part of being a witch, remember?" I asked and Aido looked a little embarrassed. It seemed like he had forgot.

I then walked to the potion room and Aido followed me. I got into the room the started up a cauldron. I then got the ingredients I needed to make to potion. Aido helped me the way he could, by handing me the things I needed to add into the cauldron.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Aido asked me, handing me the last thing I needed to finish the potion.

"Yeah, I'm sure. It is my choice after all." I said as I stirred the poison. Soon it was ready and I filled six veils.

"So. how does this potion thing work?" He asked as I took one of the veils.

"Well when I drink this my aging will slow. The more I drink the slower my aging gets." I answered and, before Aido could say anything back, I drank the poison in the veil. I then looked at Aido to see he was looking at me like he couldn't believe what I just did.

"You don't have to look at me like that, Aido. I was planning on this a few years ago." I said and Aido turned his head away.

I then looked out the window to see how late it was. It was dark. I then looked at a clock. It was about 10:45, but that was Canadian time. That meant that it was 9:45 in Japan.

"Want to get back?" I asked and Aido shrugged, like he didn't really care what he, or we, did. We walked downstairs then out the front door and we were in Japan again. For those that don't understand, I put a charm on a shed door so it would open to my house in Canada. Although that door needs to be open with a key to get to my house.

"How long has your again slowed?" Aido asked as we just walked around. I shrugged.

"I'm not sure. " I told him as I thought about it. I then started to think that now that I took the potion that I would be alive for a couple 100 of years. I hoped I didn't regret what I had done.

After a while Aido said he had to go back to the Moon Dorm. He gave me a kiss on the cheek then left. Even though we agreed to just be best friends until we figured things out, or we got older, Aido still had a habit of hugging and kissing me. I watch him go then went back home to think about how much longer I had made my life. Well I didn't much care, since I would have the rest of my life to be with Aido, without it being weird. He was right. He would just stay 17, in Vampire years, since vampires age much slower then humans. If I didn't take the potion, I would have been 23 and he would have still been 17. The thought made shudder. I then decided that I would never regret what I had done, even if it has doomed me to live over 100 years.
