The Royal Blood
Chapter 2

Dark Creature and Their Deal

Mark stood there shaking like a leaf while he looks at the vampires in front of him. All of the vampires looked at their prey and smirked at him maliciously. The one that seemed to be their leader stepped forward to Mark, his long fangs showing. When he was close enough to Mark, the vampire saw that he was paralyzed with fear and the vampire laughed at his obvious fear.

"I see that you are wise to be scared human," said the leader of the group.

Mark tried to move, but found he was rooted to the spot, staring at the vampire. His thoughts travelled to his son and try as he might, he could not stop his tears from falling He looked over at the dark creature before him, his heart broken and pain showing deep in his eyes.
"You beasts can do whatever you want with me. I don't care. The most important person in my life is dying and my own death will just be an opportunity to be with him," Mark said with a monotone voice.
"Well Boohoo, cry me a river," the leader mocked. "Don't worry; you will soon join him in the afterlife." He placed his claws upon Mark's wrist, moving closer to bite him, but he was soon stopped by a young looking teenager with crimson coloured eyes.
"Stop Father," said the young teen. The leader paused and gave his son a puzzled look.
"What is it Yami?" asked the leader. His son remained silent and moved towards Mark, taking in a breath and smelling the human man.
"Father, don't you smell it?" Yami asked his Father. His Father copied his actions, smell Mark. His eyes widened and he starred at his son.
"He smells just like..." the leader was cut off but his son.
"Yeah, I know," said Yami while gazing at Mark.

/ My son, what do you want to do now?\
/ I want you to follow my lead and please father don't kill him.\

Mark stood still watching the vampires as they communicated in silence, their eyes darting backwards and forwards between one another. All too soon their eyes turned to Mark and the young teenage vampire walked up to him.

"Why do you smell like that? That is not your scent, it is the scent of a male, but it is most definitely not your scent. So who is it?" the teenager asked Mark.
Mark started to think what the vampire could be referring to when a bitter smile came across his face, "it is the scent of my son. But that does not matter much now as he is dying and there is nothing that can be done to help him," Mark said, his voice full of sorrow.

Yami turned to look at his Father, giving the older vampire a hopeful smile. His Father quickly understood the meaning behind the smile and nodded in agreement.
"Well human, what would you say if I told you that I wanted to make a deal with you that will save the life of your son?" Yami asked in a sincere tone. Mark's face lit up like it would have done if someone had told him that he won the lottery, but the smile quickly faded. He came to the conclusion that a deal would mean that the vampires wanted something in return. But right now, the only thing that mattered to him was his son's life, so he said what his heart told him to say.

"I would say that I would be willing to do anything, if you could save my son," said Mark in a hopeful tone, his voice showing his sincerity.
Yami smiled widely, showing his fangs at the same time, first I want you to take me to your son," Yami said looking at his Father.

Mark nodded in response, dismissing the risk as something he did not care about. All he cared about was the fact that this boy vampire could save his son, and Mark did not care about the consequences.
The pair turned and began to leave when they heard shout from behind them causing them to stop in their tracks.

"Aknamkanon are you sure we can trust this human with your son? What if he tries anything?" one of the vampires asked.
"Do not worry Aknadin. My son can handle himself and we will be close by" said Aknamkanon to his brother Aknadin.

The pair commenced walking down many different streets until they finally reached the hospital. Once inside of the building Mark was caught off guard with a punch in the face. Yami raised a confused eyebrow at the startled Mark. Mark pulled himself up off the floor and met eyes with his assailant, Solomon.
Solomon looked at Mark with both fury and sadness in his eyes, "how dare you leave my daughter and your wide alone at a time like this?" he demanded. "I understand that what you must be going through, but pushing away the one who loves and needs you is not what we need at this time!"
Mark nodded at Solomon, not making a sound and turned to Yami, beckoningly him to continue on down the hospital hallways.
Solomon's fury at being ignored burned ten times more strongly than before and he bustled off down the hallway to catch up to Mark and finish giving the younger man a piece of his mind.

Mark looked down and smiled sadly at his sleeping wife, dried tears staining her cheeks, as the group walked silently passed.
He continued on to the Nurse's station and asked if he could go into his son's room. Initially she said no, but when she laid eyes on Yami, she let out a small gasp then nodded and smiled. Mark looked over at Yami and saw that the vampire was smiling, but not enough to show his sharp fangs. The nurse then quickly guided the group into the room where Mark's son was.

Yami knew they were in the right room from the moment he stepped through the door. He walked quickly over the side of the incubator and began to sniff. As he watched the child in the incubator he smiled warmly and lovingly at him.
Mark was instantly scared by the smiling creature and began to have slight regrets about his decision. Solomon watched everything that was going on in silence, with an unreadable expression on his face.
"What do you want in return for saving my son?" Mark asked, not really caring if he offended the creature by being too forward.

Yami simply chuckled in response before continuing, "Alright, here is the deal. I save your son and he can live a healthy and normal life, but in return, when he turns 16, I will take him with me to live as my mate," Yami said in a serious tone.
Mark flinched at the terms of the deal, his face turning hard.
Yami saw the change in the man and felt his anger rising, "or would you prefer to let him die this young and spend the rest of your life regretting it," he added angrily.

Mark's face softened as a battle commenced raging inside of him, whether to accept to deny the vampire's strange request.

Solomon's eyes widened as he realised exactly what Yami was. He quickly entered the room and shut the door behind him. Mark heard the door close and was shaken out of his thoughts; he was surprised to see that it was Solomon who had interrupted his thinking. The older man stood there, the look on his face was unreadable. He went over to Yami and what he did next surprised everyone.

Solomon bowed in respect to the vampire and said, "Please save my grandsons' life."

Mark was shaken by his Father in law's words but he quickly nodded his head in agreement.
Mark was now completely sure of his decision and he walked over closer to Yami, determination on his face. "Fine, you have a deal," said Mark as he presented his hand to the creature for a handshake to seal the deal.

Yami quickly shook hands with the human and thus the deal was finally sealed. Yami carefully picked the baby up, but the baby did not cry. The infant's eyes were closed and he was hardly breathing. Yami quickly took out a small tube with crystal coloured liquid inside from his pocket. He opened the baby's mouth and tipped the substance in, soon the baby began to open his eyes and his gaze immediately landed on Yami. The baby saw Yami and began to make soft cooing noises.

Mark was so happy to see that his baby son was alive, he went to take him from Yami, but was beaten to it b his Father in law. Solomon took the infant from Yami and smiled at the vampire, whispering a quiet thank you.

Yami threw open the window and was about to leave before he remembered that he did not yet know the child's name.
"What is his name?" Yami asked Mark.

Mark smiled down at his son before turning his eyes to meet Yami's, "his name is Yugi, Yugi Moto," Mark replied to Yami.
Yami nodded and said, "Do not forget our deal; you have 16 years with him before he comes with me. We will also be having a small reunion each year." When he finished speaking, Yami jumped out of the window and flew to reunite with the other vampires.

Mark watched Yami leave and he began to wonder if he had made the right choice. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"You made the right choice, Yugi is alive thanks to you, so be happy and enjoy the time you have with your son," Solomon said. Mark smiled and nodded in response to his Father in law's words. "Now let's go tell my daughter the good news."
The pair exited the room, smiles adorning their faces.

That same night, Yugi was able to go home; the doctor claimed that such a recovery was a miracle. Only Mark and Solomon knew what the crimson eyes vampire did to save Yugi and the deal that would one day change Yugi's life. Nobody knew that the same night the infant was about to die, was the start of Yugi's future …. Well, that is nobody but you my dear reader.
