Chapter 3: The story of Old King Axel
Roxas blinked and looked around again. No one was there. He opened up his car door and got out glancing around.
"I thought I saw Lea around, I guess he's not there" he said. He got back into his not so great charger and drove off. Behind some bushes stood lea. He smiled wickedly and his heart ached for his mate.
"So, Roxas…you're lonely? Why don't you try being alone for centuries with no one to love you because you're a monster. Well now, you…I'll make you love me, whether you like it or not" he smirked within seconds he disappeared without a trace. The next day at school, Roxas pulled into the driver's spot and got out of his car. He wore jeans and a white long sleeved t-shirt. He had a Starbucks coffee in one hand and his book about Old king Axel. He walked towards the doors till he heard footsteps coming up behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was one of his students. Lea Dimanco. Roxas had sighed out of relief because he thought it was someone else. Namine. Even though she was a great student he could tell she was always flirting with him. Even though he knows lea likes him at least lea tries to hide it.
"Hello Lea, such a nice day, no?" Roxas smiled. Lea melted into that smile. He wanted Roxas to smile at him like that all the time without having to most likely force it onto him. Lea smiled back.
"Yup" lea walked with Roxas. Both Roxas and Lea were enjoying an interesting conversation till they heard someone screamed Roxas's name. They both turned around. One had plastered a fake smile on their face and the other had the creepiest look of hatred on his face ever. Namine finally caught up to them out of breathe. She slightly leaned over trying to show off her boobs and she put her hands on her knees and breathed in and out. She looked up.
"Hey Professor Roxas, I have some questions about the story of Old King Axel" she smiled happily. Roxas smiled down at her
"Actually today I'll be reading you the story of old king axel today in class, so today when I'm done reading the story I'll answer your questions, okay?" Roxas smiled insuring her. She nodded happily and raced off. Lea glared at her from behind and walked with Roxas towards Roxas's classroom. Roxas took out his keys and opened the door walking towards his desk. Lea followed Roxas till he got to Namine's seat and purposely sat down in it. As Roxas grabbed lea's test, he grabbed and sharpen pencil and walked towards lea.
"You have till the first bell rings" Roxas informed. Lea smiled and got to work. In five minutes he was done. 'That wasn't hard' Lea thought. He handed the test to Roxas and left. As soon as he walked out he headed towards the library. Instead of having a class that early he had a free period. He usually doesn't go to the library, but he was hungry….for some blood. It's been 2 weeks since his last GOOD meal. He saw Namine behind the counter, with a couple of her friends surrounding her. She had her hands on the counter top with the dreamy looks in her eyes. Her friends all surrounding her with the same look in their eyes.
"Oh Mr. Roxas is Sooooo cute I wish he was mine and mine alone, oh, we would walk on the beach, go to movies and everyone would be jealous because I had him" she smiled. Lea growled under his breathe. 'I cannot believe their talking about MY man like that I mean really who they think they are!"
"I know what you mean Namine, Hey you and Roxas, if you ever get together, should go to the Bahamas on your first date, then he should propose and you two would live happily ever after" smiled her friend Olette.
"Or have kids and ruin both of your life's" corrected Aqua.
"Oh stop being negative aqua geez" snorted Namine. Lea got tired of their little 'conversation' and walked towards them. He slightly swayed his hips and he had a playful smirk on his lips. All the girls noticed this action and watched as he walked towards them. He leaned over the counter and glanced at Namine.
"Hey Namine…could I talk to you for just a minute outside…Alone" he smirked. Namine slightly blushed at his action but quickly recovered and did as she was told. As they both walked outside Lea threw her against the wall and grabbed her throat.
"L-lea…Why!?" she tried to scream.
"You have flirted with the only guy I liked in centuries. Now I didn't care for a while, like two years per say, but now hearing you talk about it to your friends!? That disgusts me. Now I gave you plenty of warnings in the past but I guess you're stupid ass doesn't like to listen to such warnings so now I'm going to kill you….oh and another thing is….my name's not Lea….it's Axel…Got it memorized?" he hissed. He eyes turned into a black his face started to turn more demonic looking. His fingers turned to claws and his teeth turned to blades. He bite into her neck and started to tear off her flesh. With his other hands he started to rip open her chest and steal the heart from the inside of her body and she was screaming out of pain, yet no sound came out of her. She soon became limp and axel continued to feast off of her. He loved the taste. After a while he finally took the remaining off the body and walked towards the janitor's closet. As soon as he disposed of the body the bell rang and he went to his next class. Professor Roxas. He walked into class and sat at his normal seat wiping off the blood in the corner of his lips. Roxas got up from his seat and went to the front of the classroom. As he called out the names…everyone there was accounted for except for Namine.
"Okay I saw her today does anyone mind telling me what happened to Namine?" Roxas asked. Lea raised his hand.
"Yes lea?" Roxas asked.
"She got signed out today" he smiled. After he was done he turned to the classroom "Alright guys, I', going to read you about the story of Old King Axel. Rumors have it that he's still alive. Anyways this dates back to 1673. When he was born. Alright yes I know the it was in 1673 so don't ask why he "still" alive. It says so in the story" Roxas smiled "Back in the year of 1673, a young prince named Axel was born. He was a very happy baby and he had everything a person could want. Later when he was only seven, He helped his hard working father with everything. The queen had other things to do since the king was extremely busy with the whole peroration of the beautiful ball that has been schedule. One day the prince wanted to get back at his father. He thought his father cared more about the stupid party than his own son. He wanted to show the old geezer that he…was going to pay for all the neglect he did to his son. The prince left to the kitchen as the maid was fixing a pot of tea for the king. She poured the tea into a small cup. As she turn to grab the sugar and the creamer, the young prince picked up a small vile he got weeks ago from the witch down near the old river of Death Valley. He poured only three drops into the cup and backed away from it hiding the veil. The maid smiled at the young boy and handed him the cup. "Would you like to deliver this to your father?" she asked happily. He smiled, knowing he would only watch her cry in a couple of minutes. He smiled and took the cup. He nodded his thanks and walked towards his father's room. He handed his father the cup as he greeted his father with a great smile. "Hi daddy" he smiled sweetly, but deeply inside he wished the old geezer would die already. "Hello son" his father smiled. His father took the cup and took a sip out of the cup. He downed the drink within seconds. All of a sudden the king felt a horrible pain in his right side of his chest. His father quickly dropped the cup and held his hands to his chest. The father started to cough vigorously and the son….just sat there. Watching his father suffer in pain. "Revenge. It is so sweet" he glared hatefully at his father. His father soon hit the ground in moments. Dead. The son soon acted to cry and ran and told the maids and guards. Everyone rushed to his rescue. But, they were too late. The next morning the beloved Queen told everyone in the kingdom about the death of King Reno. He died at 34. Years later. When axel had grown older and well wiser. He thought of a way to get rid of his mother. And that's when it hit him. He would lie again. As soon as the crown was placed on his head, he pointed a skinny finger at his mother. "You are set to die for rape and murder" he screamed. All the guards are shocked and so was his mother. "EXCUSE ME" she screamed. "You heard me, you've done things to me in the dark and I will not say anything in front of the children and you have killed our beloved king". In an instant everyone grabbed her and quickly walked towards the postodian to hang her from so they can…burn her…alive. She chanted weird words in a language nobody knew and someone lit the touch and threw it at her. Her body was burning in seconds. King Axel was watching his mother burn happily. Till he felt an unpleasant pain happens in his right side of his shoulder. He started to silently scream and he started to turn into a disgusting creature. He had horns on the top of his head, long black wings, a tail, long curving nails and weird clothing. Once the pain was over he glanced over at his guard. The guard has been watching with Awe and disgust. He didn't know what to do. Soon…Axel attacked him and started to eat his heart. Once he was done, he wanted more. More blood….more hearts. That night, he sat out and attacked, children, women and men of all age and sizes and destroyed their lives" Roxas finally finished. Everyone clapped for happiness and excitement. All but one…Lea. He sat in the back, watching with anger. He knew what he wanted to do….already….he wanted to do…was kill his first crush.
