If I Was Your Vampire
Chapter 3
-Whisper-
CloudsGirl: Hey sorry for such the long wait!! School has been a serious drag. Well, here it is. Hope it was worth the wait!

They ran down the streets and pass broken buildings, glancing back every so often to make sure they weren't following them. Roxas felt tears swell up in his eyes. Why did this have to happen again?
Axel held onto Roxas' hand tightly as they hurriedly looked for some sort of shelter. They quickly ran into an abandoned, run-down house, shutting and locking the door on their way in. They both backed away from the door as they heard long nails scratching at it, screams coming from the other end.
They both crawled up into a corner and huddled together, knowing that eventually the vampires will make their way inside and devour them. Everyone they knew, everyone in the whole world had turned into a vampire, and now they were after Axel and Roxas, who were the only humans left.
"Axel…?" Roxas spoke up suddenly above the cries. Axel looked down at him with a worried expression. "I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm glad I'm not the only human left and that I have you…I'm glad you haven't turned into one of those mindless beasts…"
Axel chuckled and grinned at Roxas, revealing his pearly-white fangs.
"That's what you think…"
Roxas jolted up from his bed, panting heavily and looking frantically around his room. 'Not again.' he thought. 'These damn dreams are ruining my sleeping habits…'
He tiredly ran a hand across his face, stumbling out of his bed and limping out of his room. He walked down the staircase which led to the kitchen, and grabbed a glass from the cupboard.
After pouring himself a glass of water, he walked into the living room and settled down onto the couch, staring blankly at the wall. His mind seemed to be in a million different places right now. Why was he so fond of Axel? And what did that dream mean anyway? He thought it over to himself before thinking that it was only his hate and his love mixing together to create a rather stupid nightmare. Axel wasn't a vampire. He couldn't be! He just can't be…

Axel stared up at the ceiling as the Sex Ed teacher rambled on about something to do with condoms. He thought about Roxas, and reminisced on the events of Saturday night. Axel chuckled, then his eyes widened at a strange thought he just had. He's in Sex Ed…thinking about a cute little blonde…while the song 'Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have without Taking Her Clothes Off' by Panic! At the Disco is playing in the background. Axel quirked up an eyebrow at his thought and shook his head. Either he's too perverted for his own good, or he's too sexy for his own good…
Or both.
As Axel and the rest of the class exited the room, he found himself mumbling the words to that song to himself. "Is it still me that makes you sweat…am I who you think about in bed. When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as your sliding off your dress…"
"Axel!" a familiar voice piped up behind him. Axel jumped and quickly turned around to see it was Roxas, and hoped to God he hadn't heard what he was singing…
"Uh…hey there, short stuff!" Axel said with a nervous smile, and ruffled Roxas' hair. Roxas pouted for a moment before smiling again.
"Well…can I talk to you for a second?" Axel stared at the blonde blankly for a moment before nodding, letting Roxas lead him over to a corner next to the counselor's office. Axel stared at Roxas confusingly.
"This is going to be hard to ask you but…."
"You want to go out with me." Axel said knowingly. Roxas stared at him blankly, his mouth somewhat agape, before shaking his head and coming back to reality.
"Yes, please!" he said, not purposefully trying to sound desperate. Axel chuckled and patted Roxas' head.
"I'll pick you up on Saturday at 7," he said, heading out of the school building. Roxas watched him leave, somewhat shocked at Axel's response. But damn…Axel had a gorgeous ass…
Axel walked down the sidewalk towards his house; hood over his head, hands stuffed into his pockets, and IPod headphones plugged into his ears. He barely knew Roxas, he barely knew Roxas and now he was going on a date with him? Axel was still confused as to why he felt a connection between them, something greater than just an emotional bond. But what could that possibly be?
Axel finally arrived at his house, opening the door and striding inside. A wide grin was plastered on his face, and his mother noticed it immediately. "What's his name?" she asked, knowing why Axel was grinning just by looking at him. Axel stared at her with amazement and his eye twitched.
"How the hell…" he trailed off before beginning again, "Anyway! His name is Roxas." Axel leaned his elbows on the countertop in front of his mother and stared off into space dreamily. His mother shook her head.
"You should really start dating girls, Axel. I mean, you can't be gay for your whole life! How are you supposed to make our family grow-"
"MOM, I told you! I'm not gay, I'm bi." His mother rolled her eyes at his comment and continued chopping some carrots for a stew she was preparing. "Besides, I feel that once I tell Roxas I'm a vampire-"
"NEVER." His mother hissed, a stern expression on her face. Axel stared at her with wide eyes and backed away from the counter.
"Gosh mom…I didn't know you felt so strongly about this…" he said with concern. His mother wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and sighed.
"Axel, you can't trust anyone, especially after what happened with your father," she said tiredly. Axel looked down and stared at his shoes.
"Okay, mom…sorry…" he dragged himself into his bedroom and quietly shut the door. How could Axel and Roxas ever be together if he's keeping secrets from him? Revealing his vampire identity would be a very dangerous thing to do, but he trusted Roxas. Axel flopped down face-first onto his bed and groaned. Why was life so difficult?
xXx
School the next day was terrible. Axel felt extremely annoyed and grumpy all day. He had felt pretty bad all morning, but once it hit lunch time, things got worse.
Axel sat at the lunch table watching as Demyx babbled on about a demented camel while Zexion just stared at him with an amused look. Axel really wasn't in the mood for happy right now…
Demyx turned to Zexion and smiled brightly, kicking his feet back and forth underneath the table. Axel winced as Demyx hit him right in the shin, and hissed in pain. He glared at Demyx, who was still wrapped up in some ignorant conversation with Zexion. Demyx kicked him again, same spot. Axel hissed in pain once more…
After Demyx kicked him about five times in the same spot, Axel was almost positive he had gotten a nasty bruise by now. Demyx was about to kick him a sixth time, but Axel quickly stood up and slammed his fists on the table. Demyx and Zexion quickly looked at him, and he gritted his teeth.
"I am going to my locker..." he said angrily, storming out of the cafeteria.
"I wonder what got him upset all of a sudden!" Demyx said, clueless. Zexion, having known Demyx for kicking people's shins, chuckled to himself and looked away.
Axel messed around with the locker until he finally got fed up with it and aggressively pried it open. He quickly took his books out and slammed the locker. He huffed and turned around, bumping right into a familiar little blonde.
Axel watched as his books fell to the floor and groaned. "This is the fucking greatest day of my fucking life," he said sarcastically as he picked up his books. Roxas stared down at him confusingly before Axel quickly shot up in front of him.
"Uhm…are you okay, Axel?" Roxas asked. Axel didn't exactly seem like a 'happy turtle' today…
"Just great…just fucking great…" Axel said absent-mindedly as he rearranged his books. He just then noticed he was talking to Roxas and quickly ran a hand through his hair, trying not to look too stressed out. "Oh, hey…er…Roxy!" Axel said with a nervous laugh. Roxas quirked an eyebrow at the nickname before shaking his head and pushing it to the back of his mind to ponder later.
"So I was thinking…we could go to that restaurant on the corner of town this Saturday?" he said with a smile. Axel quickly pulled his vibrating cell phone out of his pocket and threw it across the room (Demyx was texting him to come back in the cafeteria), just past Roxas' head, and smiled brightly.
"Sure thing short stuff!" Roxas blinked at him and shook his head, quickly walking away to his next class. Axel breathed a sigh of relief and ran in the direction he threw his cell phone.
Roxas was sitting at his desk, staring at the teacher as she rambled on about something he really didn't want to know. Of course, he was in his least favorite class; Sex Ed. Sometimes Roxas wished Axel were there to suffer with him…
The intercom then crackled, making the students jump, and a tired voice spoke, "Students, we have an assembly in the auditorium. Please report to the auditorium immediately. This assembly is very important. Thank you."
All the students looked at Mrs. Strife, a confused look plastered on their faces as well as hers. "That's strange…we didn't have an assembly scheduled. Oh well, let's go class!" The class quickly followed the teacher out the door, relieved that they didn't have to go through the torture any longer. They all filed into the auditorium, and took their seats. Everyone was whispering amongst themselves until the principal came up to the microphone and shushed them, a strange figure standing next to him.
Axel eyed the man suspiciously. Who is that guy? Where did he come from, and what business does he have at their school? He wore a long black jacket, tight black leather pants with several straps on them holding guns, knives, and stakes. Axel gulped. He knew who this guy was…
"Alright students, I'm guessing you're wondering why we have all called you in for an assembly on such short notice. Well, my good friend here, Dr. Mizusawa, will be informing you on some very important information," the principal then stepped away from the microphone, and this 'doctor' stepped up to it. Everyone in the auditorium was silent, confusion written on their faces.
"Students, I'm sure all of you have heard of vampires, right?" the students answered him accordingly. "Well, I'm sure most of you are thinking, 'vampires? They don't even exist!' Well, that is where you are wrong. Just a few days ago, there were three towns invaded and attacked by reckless vampires; three towns just near by this one in fact. We aren't exactly sure when, but we know that eventually those vampires will be out to attack this town next."
All the students and teachers gasped and looked around the room worriedly. "We have only managed to capture and kill four of the seventeen lethal vampires, while the others are still on the move," the man continued, "I guess now you are wondering who I am. I am Doctor Oshizume Mizusawa, co-manager and founder of the Vampire Hunting Alliance, also known as the VHA."
Roxas smiled brightly. That's the company his dad, Cloud Strife, owned. Roxas was proud of his foster father; successfully helping the world rid of the evil, one bloody beast at a time. Roxas even dreamed of owning the company some day, and killing off all of the vampires left in the world.
Axel, on the other hand, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. A vampire hunter, his worst nightmare, was standing right there. He felt as if he could jump on stage and beat the shit out of the guy with his own wooden stakes. Axel growled deep in his throat. 'Nothing could make this any worse…' he thought. But oh, was he ever so wrong…
"That is why," the man started up again, "I have come here to this school, to help protect you from and inform you on the dangers of vampires. Those bloody beasts would stop at nothing just to get a bite out of a weak victim. So, until we have successfully killed all seventeen vampires on the rampage, I will remain at this school."
Axel felt like screaming. He sank in his seat and slammed his fist against the metal armrest. Damn him…damn him for ever coming to this damned school in the first place…
Roxas beamed. This was his chance, his chance to save the world from pure destruction. Roxas wanted nothing more than to avenge his parents and kill every last blood-sucking beast on the planet.

CloudsGirl: Phew! Is it just me or do I smell a plot arising? XD Anyways! I hope you enjoyed the rather short chapter, but I'm afraid I won't be able to work on chapter four for a while…Maybe, perhaps, 10 reviews will give me the UMPH to submit it sooner…?
