In Darkness: Wolfram and Yuuri

Thanks a bunch for all the reviews guys! I hope you enjoy this chapter! And uhh...I'm not sure, but there will probably be a LOT of OOC-ness. ^.^ Sorry!

Btw, this chapter will be short since the last chapter was long(er). M'kay? (Wow, this chapter isn't even 1,000 words... O.o)

(I did not edit this chapter, nor have I edited any of the chapters...so sorry for mistakes.)

Chapter 4: First Journey

v~Wolfram~v

My eyes shoot open, and I hear footsteps.

"Mother?" I inquire, as the black dressed woman in front of me frowns sadly. I look around, suddenly remembering what happened.

"Yuuri!" I exclaim. Lady Celi shakes her head.

"Wolfy, that was only your imagination," she says. "Just a dream of what your heart desires. Yuuri is fine, but he is searching for you." I blink in stumped surprise.

"What?"

She sighs, shaking her head. "If you don't leave now, what you foresaw will happen."

I get to my feet, almost stumbling and falling into a rose bush. I turn and look at her.

"You're...not serious, right?"

She crosses her arms across her chest.

"You know it is true," she says. "You can smell His Highness already, can't you?" I freeze, noticing a fragrance coming from the castle.

"Do you see now Wolfy?" I put a hand to my forehead and groan in disgust.

"I really do have to leave forever, don't I?" I mutter angrily. Lady Celi looks at me sadly.

"I'm afraid so...unless..." I look up at her.

"What?"

She looks to the side, and I run over to her, grabbing my own mother by the upper arms and shaking her.

"If there is anything you know that can help me, please say so!" I demand. She looks at me finally.

"You need to go on a journey," she says. "I've heard two different legends about vampires." I look at her, waiting for more.

"I'm not sure if either are true, but they say that if someone is a vampire, they can go and find someone to help them lower their vampire urges to a minimal so that they are almost human again."

I tap my foot impatiently, because I can sense Yuuri approaching.

"The other, is that..." she grimaces. "If a vampire wants to keep people safe, then they must find a magician to seal the killing venom vampires expel when they bite someone." My eyes widen.

"That sounds perfect!" I start, but my mother holds up her hand.

"However, to do so, the individual must bite one person, and that human or demon alone will be bound to them forever, whether each party likes it or not." I frown.

"So it could be anyone?" Lady Celi nods.

"Yes, whoever the closest person to the vampire is when the ritual ends."

I frown. "But wouldn't that be the magician?"

"Not necessarily," she replies. "Once a vampire finishes the ritual, they will automatically go into a hunting mode, and take the nearest human." I make a sour face.

"That sounds..." I start. Mother sighs.

"Yuuri is coming, I suggest you go to the far reaches of the demon kingdom to find a magician," she says. "I think I might know of one." I nod.

"Just give me a map," I say.

x~Yuuri~x

"Wolfram?" I call, holding the horses' reins.

"Yuuri?" I hear, and turn, with a happy look on my face. That's when I notice it is Lady Celi.

"Oh..."

"Wolfram has gone on some border patrol," she says, smiling kindly. I nod, finally realizing why Wolfram left.

"There has been a little bit of arguments between his soldiers and himself, so he decided to go on his own to prove to the rest, that he is still deserving of the title of their leader." I nod. Wolfram has a lot of pride, so I can understand why everything has been going wacko recently. I brighten up.

"That's awesome! I hope he does well!" I exclaim. Lady Celi smiles.

"Yes, I do agree with you too," she says. "Now, if you don't mind, I'll take this horse back to the stables."

v~Wolfram~v

Lady Celi waves as Yuuri heads back to the castle. I come out from hiding behind the pavilion, and head over to my mom.

She hands me the reins and I hop onto the horse in one swift movement. My mother looks at me with a sad smile, and pats my shoulder.

"Good luck, my dear Wolfy..." she murmurs.

I nod, at her, then cluck my tongue, causing the horse to set off at a brisk pace.

Well, that's it for now. I wanted to write more, but so many things would've been given away...so I didn't. Plus I feel crappy right now, and it might be a while until I get the courage to write another chapter. ^^'

Oh, and if you didn't understand what happened in the beginning, Wolfram was actually only dreaming that he bit Yuuri. (Lady Celi said it was his heart's desire etc etc...) ._. So...hope that made sense? He just fell asleep in the rose garden in the last chapter. Anyways, if you still don't get it, just tell me.

Well, I hope you enjoyed it at least!
