Csoh: Hey there! As an answer to the one review I got... OF COURSE!
Solomon: It's a Saya/Solomon one isn't it.
Csoh: Um...no. It's actually a Diva/Karl one. Their relationship was not shown well so the idea...Yes. It's great!
Diva: You're actually going to write about me?
Csoh: Yep!
Diva: IT'S ABOUT TIME! I was starting to think you weren't going to.
Csoh: (laughs nervously at true statement) Yeah...Why wouldn't I. (Solomon rolls eyes and leaves)

I Didn't Know I was Looking For Love
Lyrics by Everything But the Girl
Story written by ChevalierSOH
A Diva/Karl Fanfic
~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~
I
was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn't looking for anyone to
be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that
wouldn't stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my
consignment
Solitary confinement
Diva listened as Saya's footsteps rushed down the stairs again. She seemed more interested in the stupid boy Hagi than in her these days. It wasn't fair! Why couldn't she have fun with Saya. Diva went to the corner as rain started to fall into the tower cell. She hugged the blanket closer to herself and tried to warm up more.
"Saya come today?" Amshel opened the cell door and strolled in carrying another dead body. She felt thirsty as she looked at the man. He wasn't remotely interesting besides the meals.
"Yes, but she left faster today than last week." She quickly drained the body and leaned against the wall while Amshel discussed his day. He always stayed around and talked with her. He would go on and on about some guy named Joel and how Saya wasn't behaving (although she kept telling him that wouldn't happen if she weren't locked up). Today it was about Joel again.
"He just doesn't get that Saya's not human." He sighed and looked at her.
"Yep." He grinned and carried the body out, leaving her all alone again. It was always the same, they would come by, talk to her, and then they would leave her all alone again. She stared up into the dark sky.
So
when we met I was SKIRTING around you
I didn't know I was looking
for love
Until I found you
Diva pulled away from her memories as she looked again at her latest chevalier. Karl was just like her. Alone. Bored. She hugged him again as he straightened his shirt.
"I have to go talk with big brother Amshel, Diva, you need to let me leave." He tried to pull away. She held even tighter.
"I'm bored though. I want someone to play with."
"I'll be right back."
"Isn't it your job to keep me happy?" He quietened as he tried to think of an excuse.
"Diva-" She flung herself onto the bed and kept her face hidden. Sure enough he was right behind her and soon tried to make her feel better. "I won't leave you." She looked up at him and smiled faintly. He kissed her head and went to grab one of her toys.
I
didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, honey
I
didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn't
know I was looking for love
Didn't know I was looking for love
Diva tried not to smile too much around Karl. It had been a month since he had told her he had to go see Amshel and sure enough he hadn't left her alone. She stopped running from him and he crashed straight into her, sending them both to the ground.
"DIVA! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" He searched frantically over her to see if she was okay. She laughed and stood up.
"I'm it! You better run Karl." He sighed in relief before rushing to get up and run. She followed close behind him. She never wanted to have anyone in her life except him again.
Cause
there you stood and I would
Oh I wonder could I say how I felt
And
not be misunderstood
A thousand stars came into my system
I
never knew how much I had missed them
Slap on the map of my heart
you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets
circle around you
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I
found you
That night was filled with gunfire. Karl awakened her quickly.
"Diva! I have to get you out of here. Your sister is close!" She didn't understand. Why was her sister such a threat? They were both chiropterans. They both could heal quickly and yet...
"DIVA!" Karl pulled her by the arm into the hallway before Diva ran towards the door. She hadn't seen her sister in years. She just didn't remember all the time they had spent together. That's all. Karl hurried behind her trying to catch up. She stopped on the hillside where she could see her sister's group's tent in the distance. She opened her mouth and started to sing the song that she had sang many times for Saya before.
Saya emerged from the tent and the people fired at her.
Those impudent humans! HOW DARE THEY!
Diva started to head down the hill when Karl caught up. He pulled her into his arms and headed away from the tent. Saya was catching up. Still Diva sang out into the night.
Karl set her down as Saya slashed at him. He turned with killer intent as another two figures came toward them. She recognized one as her sister's pesky chevalier and the other Amshel. Amshel didn't even try to help her Karl as he grabbed her and ran. After several seconds of running she heard a shrill yelling coming from the scene they had just left. She hoped it wasn't Karl.
I
didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
I
didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn't
know I was looking for love
Didn't know I was looking for love
Diva waited by the door for Amshel to finish his "Business" meeting so that she could find out if they had found Karl yet. He opened the door and motioned for her to enter his office. She walked in and he started immediately.
"We found him trying to fight against us." She couldn't have been more surprised if he hit her.
"What?!"
"He was trying to get Saya to kill him." She searched Amshel's face for a hint of lying. How could Karl of all her chevalier... No. Solomon would betray her far before Karl.
"Amshel." She didn't know what to say. Amshel hugged her and carried her back to her room. He lay her on her bed and left. She couldn't move. Once again she was alone. Now Karl...
I just didn't know
Amshel picked up the cocoon on the bed and carried it out the container that he used to keep her safe. He had told Karl a similar story to the one he had told Diva. They had gotten to close. Diva was his and the other chevalier needed to either get Diva to have children or leave Diva for him to use. He closed the storage unit and motioned for Solomon to have it moved. The blond nodded and went to work.
I
didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn't
know I was looking for love (I just didn't know)
Until I found
you
I didn't know I was looking for love (Oh, I just didn't
know)
Didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you,
baby
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I
didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn't
know I was looking for love
Didn't know I was looking for
love
Until I found you, baby
(Thirty Years Later)
Karl looked out to the container. Diva was fast asleep still and her sister was nearby. He looked at his "arm" and grimaced. After all those years, he still remembered what Amshel had said. "She was trying to die Karl. Whatever you told her upset her... You are too weak to be protecting her and recently Diva has grown an interest in Solomon." He let go of the ledge as he started to destroy it.
Why couldn't Diva see how he loved her? Maybe she did and she didn't love him back. He shook his head and turned to get back to work. Diva didn't seem to love him, but maybe if he really tried he could love her sister...
I
didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn't
know I was looking for love
Until I found you
Didn't know I was
looking for love
Didn't know I was looking for love
Until I
found you
(Two Years Later)
Diva looked around at her chevalier as they all told her the news. Karl had been killed by her sister. She didn't know what to say. Amshel made them all leave and she stared out into the rain.
It was like a part of her had died with him. Why? Why couldn't he have loved her. She looked down at her belly where her two babies were growing. Even they couldn't soothe her, she would have killed them just to be with Karl. She felt her eyes drown in her tears as she cried. If only he hadn't betrayed her.
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you...

A/N: I hope you liked it people. I was tired of attempting my Calculus and decided to try the request. I'm not used to writing about Diva/Karl stuff. It was kinda fun though.
