Chapter 4: The Vampire Strikes!
Classes were over for the day and Jaden felt like he was walking on clouds.
He had managed to stay awake in class, so he didn't get any detentions, and he was excited for his night with Zane. A part of him was also smacking himself upside the head for acting like a love struck school girl.
'Will you calm down! You were trying to avoid the guy this morning! Besides this isn't a date, we're just… hanging out, like friends! Yeah!' Jaden took a deep breath to calm down.
Though he couldn't help the thoughts about wanting it to actually be a date. 'It would be nice, but it's probably not going to happen. A guy like Zane is probably straight, and he could have anyone he wanted. Plus, there's my little secret about being a hunter. I hate having to lie, but it's to keep him safe. How am I supposed to have a strong relationship with him if I can't be honest with him?'
Jaden was so deep in thought that he didn't hear the very person he was thinking about coming up behind him. "You okay?"
The hunter jumped at the voice and turned to see the man that plagued his thoughts standing behind him.
"Oh, hi Zane," He said, hoping his face wasn't as red as it felt. "I-I'm fine. I was just thinking."
"I was worried," Zane said, smiling slightly. He had to admit that the Slifer was cute when blushing. "Whatever it was you were thinking seemed to make you depressed. Care to share what's on your mind?"
"Oh, it's nothing important," Jaden said quickly, knowing he couldn't tell him. "Anyway, I'll see you later."
Zane wondered what that was about but didn't push it. "Okay."
He then walked past Jaden to leave, but stopped and whispered to him. "See you this evening."
As he walked away, Jaden turned to watch him go, wishing the hard beating in his chest would stop.
'Stop… just stop. Stop and let me get back to reality. You know you can't be with him… so why can't I let him go?' He thought, hoping his face wasn't as red as it felt.
What neither boy had seen was a bat hanging from the outcrop of the school, watching the display. And the fact it's eyes were glowing, which meant that its mistress had also seen the display.
Vampire Hideout
Camula growled at the scene she had watched through her bat. How dare that human make a move on her chosen?!
"Something troubles you, Camula?" She turned to see the queen behind her, watching with a knowing smile. "No need to answer, I already know. Our common enemy is winning over the human you like."
Camula stiffened at the comment. "He's also the keystone to our plan."
"What do you mean?" The resurrected vampire asked, curious of the queen's plan.
Xua smirked. "Camula my dear, do you know the best way to break a warrior?"
Camula though for a moment before coming to her answer, an evil smile spreading across her face. "You target those they care for the most."
"Precisely," Xua beckoned Camula to follow her. "Come, we must prepare for tonight."
The two vampiresses left the room they were in and headed to the main part of the lair, not knowing they had been listened in on. After the women were gone, the eavesdropper came out of hiding and watched them leave with great concern on his face.
Like all the vampires in the coven, he was young, probably late teens or early twenties. Like the other males in the coven, he was wearing all black. He had dark hair and matching dark eyes.
What was different about him was the fact he wore glasses even though he didn't need them, vampire vision being superior to humans. The glasses were a force of habit.
And the only thing he had left of his old life.
He also wasn't as loyal to the queen as the rest of coven, seeing as he held her responsible for taking his humanity from him and taking him away from everything he knew, loved, and believed in.
'I have to stop this, but how?' He thought, trying to come up with a counter strategy as he made his way back to his room.
Later That Night
Zane was walking past the main building on his way to the lighthouse to meet up with Jaden. He had a thought about why the Slifer had been acting odd lately and he was going to confront him about it when he got there.
As he was walking, he didn't notice a bat swoop down and hit him in the back with a surprising amount of force, enough to knock him down. Zane was stunned and wondering what had hit him, but he managed to get back up, albite slowly.
But he wasn't fast enough as a swarm of bats soon descended upon him, screeching and biting at him. Zane was terrified and disoriented, the only thing he could do was curl up into a ball on the ground and try to shield himself while shouting in pain and calling for help, hoping someone would hear him.
Unfortunately, one bat managed to get past the arms shielding his head and bit him on the neck, making him cry out louder in pain. As quickly as it had began, the swarm dispersed leaving Zane on the ground unconscious, having passed out from the overwhelming pain.
Once the swarm was gone, a lone figure rushed out from the trees and headed towards the fallen teen. He hoped he wasn't too late. He looked the teen over to make sure he was alive. He was still breathing, but he needed to get help.
The rogue searched Zane for some kind of cell phone or something to call for help. He found his Duel Pilot and looked through the contacts recorded. He managed to send out a message to those on there and waited with Zane until he heard footsteps approaching.
At that, he darted back into the trees to watch as a group of teens rushed to their fallen friend. He recognized one of them, bringing up years of agony and terrible memories that he managed to repress.
'I'll help you, Little Hero, even if it means I die doing it.'
That's that and just as Ethics class ends. Read, review, and stay tuned.
