Chapter Four: Being a Vampire has Its Ups & Downs
(Axel's P.O.V)
It was strange, kissing Roxas in such a romantic way. I didn't think he even liked me. (Well considering my first impression was a terrible one.) I had him on the floor, he had just insulted me. Therefore he needed to be punished. As I kissed him, could really feel his body's warmth. I pulled back for a second and moved his bangs out of his eyes. "I take it you like me now?" I smirked.
Roxas's cheeks grew red and he turned his head away. "Yeah, but I don't want you thinking that means you can bite me whenever you please. My neck isn't an open bar."
I sighed, *Ow.* "Alright, from this moment on I won't bite you unless you say I can." I tried sounding as truthful as I could. But I don't think he'll trust me... ever. Roxas turned his head back towards me. His eyes were such a pretty blue, I could lose myself in them... Just like my last lover. She had the same blue eyes, and she made me feel as though I were...alive. And now Roxas is doing the same thing. It was an amazing feeling.
I was a bit scared about falling for someone again. In the fear that Maxwell would yet again take them away. Then I remembered he has no clue about my current life. Though, now that I know that Maxwell avoided true death. I will never underestimate him again.
"Good." Roxas pouted. It was cute. I got up off of him and helped him up.
"Well love what shall we do while indoors? Even on cloudy days I don't like going outside knowing it's still daylight." I pulled him into an embrace and he returned it.
"Maybe you could fill me in on what it's like being a vampire? I mean like what real ones are all about." Roxas looked up at me smiling. I played with his soft blonde hair.
"Sounds good to me." The two of us let go of one another and set forth to the kitchen. Where Roxas helped himself to some form of junk food (chips) and soda. It didn't look that appetizing, in fact it made me feel a bit nauseous.
I sat in a chair and put my feet up on the table. Roxas turned around and shot me a glare. At first I was confused. "Get your feet off the table! We eat there! This isn't your unkept Manor." I rolled my eyes and sat upright in the chair. I was a bit irritated that he insulted my home. I knew it was unkept. But there wasn't much I could do about it seeing as it's condemned.
"Ok then come over and clean it for me. I don't mind. Personally I hate cleaning." I gave him a smirk and his cheeks flushed red as he sat at the table. He ripped open the bag of chips and started eating them one by one. The crunching I could handle but the chomping ugh. I reached across the table and yanked the chips away. Again he glared at me. "You're not getting these back until you stop chomping like a cow." I closed the bag and then put it where he couldn't reach it.
"You're an ass." He sunk into the chair and sipped his sugar filled drink. I looked at him wondering just what things he wanted to know. He sets the can down and looked at me. Who was in a daze. "Ok, first things first Axel. What's it like being a vampire? Besides being... dead and all."
I leaned forward, "I like that I no longer feel the need to cough when I smoke. And the whole defying gravity trick is neat. Oh and having hypnotic charm helps when I buy my cigarettes. No need for I.D then. Other than that I hate it." I was being completely honest. He looked puzzled it seems he figured being a vampire must be amazing. I mean with the heightened sense, super agility, hypnotic charm and immortality sure it seems cool. But it's not, we have to hide from the sun, feast on live blood to survive, and we outlive our human companions. It's miserable and very lonely.
He took another sip of the soda, and gave me a look of disgust. *Probably hates smokers. Oh well.* "Why do you hate it?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Think about it for a minute. You've read some of the stories. Most of what's written about us is true. Minus to fearing holy items, and garlic which just smells horrible."
"Oh... Alright, can you like read people's minds?"
"Nope, the only weird tricks I can do is walk on walls and summon a tiny flame. But I hardly ever use the flame. Anything else?" He got up from his chair, sat in my lap and leaned into me. I put my arm around him. *He's so cute.*
"Nah, anyway since we're together now. Why don't we go out later... You know on a date?" Roxas's face flushed. I could hear his heart pounding. My guess he was a bit nervous.
"Like a movie? I can do that. But later on. Let's watch TV for now." I lifted him up into my arms and set him on his couch and sat by him. Roxas turned the TV on to some boring drama show. I pulled him close to me. I felt our hands intertwine.*I'll never understand how humans find drama to be so interesting. It's annoying, though it surrounded me.* As I'm lost in my thoughts the little blonde thought it'd be funny to shove me. I shoved back, we laughed and then started to horse around. He had me pinned on the floor, "Looks like you got me." I smirked.
"So much for your powers being so great huh? Whoa!" I threw my weight and ended up on top of him. He laughed."I stand corrected." As I go to kiss him he stopped me by grabbing my face. "Promise me one thing..."
"Yeah sure what is it?" I smiled.
"That you'll never betray me..." I looked at him strange. Vampires were all about loyalty, but he probably wasn't aware if it yet.
"I promise love," I leaned down and kissed him, then the door opens. I looked up to see his father. Detective K. Haven. His arms were crossed and he didn't look happy. I grinned like a jackass.
Roxas gave me a strange look then tilted his head back. "Oh hi Dad. You're home already?" I got up off of him and sat on the couch feeling awkward. Roxas sat next to me, his father still standing there with an angry expression.
"Yeah... Just what the hell was going on here?" He sat in the chair next to the sofa. I felt Roxas grab my hand. I smiled. His father wasn't at all pleased that I was here. "I've told you not to invite people over without my knowing Roxas."
Roxas looked away from his father and bit his lower lip. "I know Dad. I'm sorry... It's just that I was lonely and wanted someone to talk to." He held my hand tighter, and leaned into me.
His Dad looked at me closely, "You, who are you? I've never seen your face around here before."
"I moved here a week ago, my name is Axel." I said in a calm voice. I could see that I'd have to lie big time, and be sure he doesn't try looking me up. There wouldn't be anything on me, or even about me. He'd really get suspicious and I'd have to high tail it out of town for while. Like hell I wanted that to happen.. especially now. Or I could just hypnotise him later on and not have to worry.
"Just how old are you? You look too old to be hanging around Roxas." Roxas rolled his eyes and groaned. His father shot him a look.
"I'm eighteen sir." I lied. Then I remembered that I looked a lot older than eighteen. (I was about twenty-one when I was turned.) His father raised an eyebrow as if seeing through my lies.
"I wasn't born yesterday red-head. Quit your lying."
I could see Roxas was getting frustrated. As I was about to respond to his father, Roxas said something instead, "Dad for Pete's sake! He's not lying. I met him at the library last week and he asked me out ok? I was going to introduce him to you soon!" Roxas sat up straight and sounded agitated.
His father sighed, "Alright. Alright. Calm down there. I was just wondering who he was.." His father turned his attention back to me. "My apologies Axel it's nice to meet you. My name is Kelvin Haven." He said, then he leaned forward and looked at me more closely. "Hold on a moment. I swear I've seen you before."
I looked away while trying to come up with something to say. *Guess he remembers me from when I peeked into his crime scene.* I smiled and looked back at him. "I wouldn't know where from. This is the first I've met you Kelvin."
"Oh ok, you two got plans today?" Kelvin smiled, and he'd obviously trusting me to be with his son.
"Yeah the movies." Roxas leaned into me again and held onto my arm.
"That's a far walk, need a ride?" Kelvin got up from his chair and walked over to the door to grab his keys. But was stopped when Roxas stood up.
"Nah, it'll be ok. Thanks though Dad." Kelvin sat back in the chair and watched TV. Roxas smiled and looked at me. "I'll grab my coat and we can go now." Roxas went over to the coat wrack. I sat for a moment longer before getting up and putting mine on along with my scarf. I don't get cold but I didn't want anyone thinking I was crazy.
As the two of us headed out the door, his father came up to us. "Are you two sure you don't want a ride?" He pointed to the sky, it was starting to snow. It didn't bother me.
Roxas looked at his father. "Yes Dad, you just sit here and relax. I'm sure you're tired from work. He'll bring me home in one piece." I walked out towards the sidewalk, I waited for Roxas to follow. While waiting I lit up a cigarette.
His father closed the door and Roxas ran up to me. He glared at me, his arm crossed. I was confused for a moment. "What?" I inhale and exhale smoke. He coughed, and continue to glare at me.
"You know that's a nasty habit" He stated the obvious.
I rolled my eyes, "Are you serious? Not like it'll kill me." I drew in another drag.
"Oh ha ha, I just hate smoking. My Mom does and it's disgusting." He turned away upset.
"Well I'm not your mother." I stared at the half smoked cigarette and sighed. I threw it down on the cement and stepped on it. *Well that was a waste.* "Alright, if it bothers you that much I won't do it when you're around." All part of being polite. I was apparently raised to be mindful of others.
He turned around and hugged me. "Thanks" Roxas looked up and me and started playing with my hair. I could tell he wanted something else. "Uhm can you carry me? It really is a long walk into town." I ruffled his hair and lifted him up into my arms. "Whoa." He held on to me and I took off.
The two of us arrived a block away from the theater. I set him down and walked the rest of the way. We walked inside, it was pretty big and too bright. Roxas pulled me towards the ticket line and we looked up at the movies playing. He pointed out some that sounded really boring to me. I loved slasher films but these days most of them didn't have that scary feel anymore. "Ugh you're so picky Axel." Roxas shrugged.
"Fine let's see that one." I pointed to one called Fright Night 2: New Blood. I had no idea what it was about. It just sounded like an interesting movie title. Roxas then laughed at me. *First he complains I'm picky, now he's laughing at my choice* "Ok what's so funny?"
"That's a vampire movie. And I'm sure they get torn to pieces." Roxas had a smirk on his face. He was acting like Xion. *One Xion is enough for me.* I glared at him and face palmed. Next I shoved him forward into the ticket line.
The two of us approached an average woman at the counter. Her hair was brown and she was short. "Hi, and what movie will you two be seeing?" She looked at me and started batting her eyelashes. I watched as her eyes observed me, she started twirling her hair. I smiled at her. Her cheeks flushed red. Roxas punched my arm. He was apparently a little jealous. It was cute.
"Two for Fright Night Two: New Blood if you wouldn't mind." I leaned over the counter and look into her brown eyes. Having hypnotic charm was very useful. Her eyes went blank and she gave us two tickets and I handed her some money. "Thanks pretty lady." I winked at her. Roxas rolled his eyes as we headed for the concession stand. The smell of buttered popcorn now filled the air. It smelled wonderful, which made me mad because I couldn't eat any.
Roxas got himself a huge bag of popcorn and a frozen drink. He didn't say a word to me even as we found ourselves some seats. "Hey, love what's the matter?" I went to grab his hand but he moved it and stuffed popcorn in his mouth. "Fine don't tell me then. Just don't chomp your popcorn or I'll take it away." He then chomped down on purpose because he knew it irritated me. "Not funny." I sat back in the chair and took a piece of popcorn and flicked it at him.
Roxas gave me a dirty look, "You know why I'm mad."
"Uhm no I don't, not a mind reader." He was sounding like a girl. I just don't get why people expect you to know why they're mad or upset with them. It's the most irritating thing!
"You were flirting." He sipped the frozen drink. I took it from him and pulled his face towards mine.
"I was using my charm so she wouldn't card us for a R-rated movie. Believe or not vampires are known to be loyal and some even faithful." I gave him a quick kiss and settled back into my seat. I still held his drink, I knew it would make me sick but I drank some anyway. After I took my sip I handed it back to him. I tried not to gag but it couldn't be helped. I immediately felt sick; it tasted horrible. My stomach started hurting like hell. I wrapped my arms around my gut hoping it would ease the pain.
Roxas sipped the drink and gave me a strange look."You ok? You look like you're going to hurl."
"Nope... I'm just...fine..." I lied. he sat back and the movie started. It was a common peaceful beginning but seeing as it's a horror film things would get real ugly real fast. The pain in my gut got worse with each passing moment.
The movie was starting to get into its horror aspect. Roxas didn't seem at all fazed. I normally wouldn't be either but the second blood was sprayed in the movie. I felt the urge to just hurl everywhere. I bolted from my seat and to the nearest bathroom. I felt better after that. As I headed back I saw a kid walk in to the same theater room Roxas was. He looked like some preppy rich kid. I paid no more mind to him and sat back with Roxas. He had a grin on his face. "Get too scared vampire?"
I shot him a glare. "No, you ass hat. I got sick from drinking that frozen thing."
"If you knew it you make you sick then why did you drink it?" He sipped it which made me feel queasy again. I looked away from him and to the movie.
"I wanted to feel human. Now let's watch the movie ok?" I slid down in the chair. Roxas grabbed my hand and held it. I grasp his and I felt him kiss my cheek. I smiled and we watched the rest of the film.
After the movie, we left the building there stood that kid I saw earlier. He looked right at Roxas and smirked. Roxas looked furious. "Uhm, you know him?" Roxas didn't answer. He just grabbed my wrist and pulled me but I didn't move. I yanked my arm away.
"Axel take me home now. I'm cold." He ordered me to do. Instead I folded my arms and stayed right where I was.
" 'Scuse me!? First of all don't be all demanding.. Now answer me. Who is he? Because the second you saw him your mood changed." Right after I said that, the kid approached us. Roxas looked about ready to hit the other boy but I pulled him back.
"Sorry, and to answer your question... He's my ex boyfriend.. he's an ass hole." Roxas whispered to me.
The boy pushed his blonde hair away, "So this is where you've been eh Roxy? I honestly thought you had bettered the world and killed yourself." Now I wanted to smack this kid. *No Axel, don't hit the annoying human... No matter how much you want to.* Roxas struggled to get away from me but I held him tightly.
"Oh go fuck yourself Danny!" Roxas stepped on my toes as he stopped down. I bit my lip and just kept holding him back."Axel let me go!" I heard him start to get really upset.
Danny laughed. "Aw cute. Guess you really do like them older and enjoy what they do with you." I was now outraged. *Screw it! I'm done hearing this prick talk!* I let Roxas go but pushed him back and grabbed Danny and threw him into a wall. I tried not to seriously hurt the boy but my anger usually got the better of me.
"Watch your god damned mouth you brat!" I suddenly felt the urge to drain this kid. I felt him struggle, he even kicked me, it hurt a little. But it didn't make me back down, it just made things worse for the boy.
"Let me go you crazy bastard!" He yelled. But I ignored his little demand. *Not a chance.* I kneed him in the stomach and shoved him down into the ground. He scrambled to his feet and tried running. But I grabbed him up by the hair and pulled him back. I was about ready to bite him, when Roxas held my waist.
"Stop, Axel. I think he got what he deserved." His grip on me tightened. I sighed and threw Danny down, then I put my foot on his back.
"You ever bother Roxas again, I swear I WILL kill you." I removed my foot, the kid nodded and bolted down the street. "I'm sorry Roxas I didn't mean to snap like that..." I felt guilty that I allowed myself to let some idiot get under my skin. I could have just walked away.
"It's ok. If you hadn't held me back he would have probably hurt me. I can't fight him off. Besides," he laughed. "It was funny watching him feel helpless for a change." I smiled. He let go and stood in front of me. I touched his face. *How could anyone hurt such an innocent kid like him? It pisses me off! I mean what has he ever done to deserve such treatment?* He pulled me down by my shirt and kissed me. It caught me by surprise; I went to kiss back but he already pulled away.
"Let's get you home. I have to go talk to someone. Unless you want me to stay?"
"Aw but I'll miss my morning heart attacks." He teased. *I don't understand how I scare him. I mean he knew I was staying there. And that I need to hide where the sun can't touch me.* "But if you want to go you can." Roxas laughed. He played with my hair. His arms wrapped around me and I carried him home fast.
There we stood at his front door, "Well see you later.. Whoa!" I lightly shoved him into the wall and playfully hissed. His eyes grew wide, then he smirked.
"Scared?" I teased him as I bared my fangs.
Roxas laughed and didn't move.."Oh yes, I'm terrified." He wrapped his arms around me and we shared a passionate kiss. Though it didn't last very long as his father knocked at the window. "Damn it. Later fanged and furious." He stuck out his tongue.
"Mmm. You know I could put that pierced tongue of yours to good use if you keep that up mister." I winked and his face lit up like a Christmas tree. He slapped my lightly. I laughed.
"You old pervert!" *Old!? I'm only one-hundred and twenty! That's young for a vampire I have you know!* Roxas pushed at me and I stepped back. "Anyway, I had fun today. Thanks for what you did too." He kissed my cheek and I smiled. Roxas then ran inside his house and shut the door behind him. *Well our first date went better than expected.*
I headed back to the manor to find Kendel naked on the couch. I put my palm to my face. "Seriously!?Put some damn clothes on!" She sat up and stretched.
"Sorry, figured you'd be screwing that young human boy for a while longer." Kendel laughed and I rolled my eyes, I then sit across from her. I light up a cigarette because I had thrown my other one away. Kendel then gave me that same dirty look as Roxas did. After that she changed back into a fluffy orange cat.
I kicked my feet up on the old coffee table, "Well aren't you the funny one." She sighed and hopped over to where I was sitting. She put her paw on my face. I pushed it away.
"I'm still upset with you, you know. You stormed off, and left me here without a reason as to why. You really need to stop doing that. It... make me. Worry..." She sounded as if worrying about me was a bad thing.
"Aw, how cute you actually worried about me this time." I gave her a grin, she paws my face again and curled up in a ball on my lap.
"No, I just didn't want you getting killed leaving me to fend for myself." Kendel said. I looked down at her. She has been my friend for over sixty years. Without her I'd of been all alone or actually dead back then. It was nice having someone legitimately worry about me. Even though she didn't act like it, I knew she really cared about me.
I laughed. "Alright, if you say so. Glad we made up. But I must go hunt." After that I went out to feed in Heartville. I kept looking over my shoulder because I feared Maxwell was hiding someplace. Thankfully he was nowhere in sight. At least for the moment.
I eventually found a suitable meal. A woman, she wore a fur coat and had an expensive hand bag. But she wasn't your average rich lady. I could smell the drugs on her, I followed her to a back ally to where she went inside a building. I waited patiently until she came out. I heard gun fire, she stepped out her coat covered in blood. *Guess her deal didn't go as planned, and the scent of blood on her is making me crazy!* I tried to grab her without a fuss. Sadly she must have heard me and spun around.
As I tried to grab her, she shoots me a couple times. I fell backwards, but stood up not a second later. The woman was obviously terrified. I looked down and the two bullet wounds. "Ouch! I hate guns, they really hurt."
"Monster!" She took off down the street. I pulled the bullets out and chased after her. I caught her and pulled her behind a wall and held her tight. She dropped her gun as she struggled.
"Me a monster?" I laughed. "That's a bit of a stretch. Now you humans. Heh you're are the real monsters. Killing each other over money, sex, drugs, and land." I tightened my grip on the woman. She was crying and digging her freshly manicured nails into my arm. She even bit me. I dropped her; she tried to run but again I caught her.
"Please... Don't kill me!" She begged.
"Pfft nah I think I will. I hate people like you." I sunk my fangs into her neck slowly draining her blood away. It was bitter tasting, but it was all I could catch.
The woman goes limp and was dead when I finished feeding off her. I used my nails to make the fang marks look like a stab wound. *Ick, drug dealer blood always tastes so nasty. But not as nasty as that frozen drink.* I used a tissue from the dead woman's jacket to wipe the blood off my mouth. I walked away trying to figure out what else I could do to kill time. I eventually found some entertainment and went with it till I got bored.
After having my fun. I arrive back at the manor just before the sun could catch me. I saw that Kendel was asleep in her bed so I crawled into my coffin and fell asleep.
*Dream Sequence*
There was fire all around, I couldn't find her anywhere. That was until I heard a yell. Just as I'd gotten closer a flaming board fell on me I yelped in pain but pushed it off me. I continued towards the screams. I finally found her. Only someone else had beaten me to it. I saw Maxwell holding her by the neck. "You witch! How dare you turn him against me! Giving him false hope!"
She gasped for air and clawed at his hands. "I told him the truth, and why you turned him! He... decided to go against you of his own choice! Gah!" Her hands glowed blue. A blast of wind pushed Maxwell back, and he hit a wall. I ran over to her and held her close.
"Let's go." I lifted her into my arms and we ran from the burning building. I set her down as we arrived at a river. I once again hold her close to me. "Thank god for your wind magic."
"Indeed, we can't linger here long he might have followed us." She had worry in her voice. But I was sure Maxwell wouldn't find us. I ran as fast I could after all. No way he'd get here... At least I hoped not.
"I'm sure we're ok." I told her as I tucked a lock of brown hair behind her ear. She then wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I couldn't help but to return her kiss.
As she pulled back I heard a voice, his voice. "Thought you got away huh?"I felt scared, I held her tightly. She looked at Maxwell.
"Lea... I told you... Never mind come on." Without another thought we started running. I had to hurry the sun would be rising soon. Sadly Maxwell had us cornered. "Damn it." She tried using her magic but he was too quick, he threw me to the side and grabbed her.
I tried to go save her but he had his goons with him they held me back and made me watch. "No!" I screamed. He shoved is hand through her chest and dropped her. Maxwell laughed and walked towards me.
"What a shame." He cupped my face. Her blood still on his hand. I spat at him. He wiped the spit away."Well that was disgusting, anyway I thought her spell would have broken if I killed her." I kicked Maxwell, then found the strength to throw his goons like rag-dolls. I threw Maxwell to the ground and pinned him. All he did was laugh, "You can't kill me Lea. You couldn't even save that witch." I was so angry that I threw him in the air; he was impaled by a metal pipe. The sun came up and he caught flames. I bothered not watching him burn, I rush to Eva's side... My heart broken.
After that I hold her, "No no," I rocked her back and forth not caring that the sun might take me.
She coughed, for a second I was happy. "I'm... not going to live much longer... But know that I love you Lea Furga." She reached up and touched my face. Tears leaving both of our eyes. I went to bite her but she stopped me. "No, I don't wish to be a vampire... I can't... knowing... I didn't keep my promise to..you.. Goodbye my love..." Her hand falls and her heart beat ceased. She was gone.
"Eva? Eva!" I cried out.
*End Sequence*
I shot up only to slam my head on my coffin lid. "Son of a bitch!" I laid back down. "Damn that memory again." I pushed open my coffin and stretched. "Night time already? Where does the time go?" I looked around and saw that Kendel wasn't in her little bed. I went upstairs and she was nowhere to be found.
I looked outside and saw nothing but a quiet night."Kendel! Where are you? She must have went out for a walk. Hope she's ok." I went into my father's library and looked for something to read. I would have gone to see Roxas but I figured he had other things to do.
It had been a few days since I'd seen Kendel. I was beginning to worry. *She's never gone for more than a day usually. I really hope she didn't get taken by someone.* I threw on my coat and scarf then headed out. I searched all the places I though she'd be. Sadly I had no luck. "Kendel! Kendel! Where are you?" No answer. Then I thought to check one more place. The park.
As I'm heading to where I thought she'd be. Not to far ahead I saw an orange ball of fur running towards me. "The fuck? Gah!" The orange thing pounced on me. I hold it and saw that it was Kendel. She looked injured, her fur was matted and she had a tooth missing. "Kendel what the hell happened to you?" No words she just hid inside my jacket's inner pocket. My guess was from whatever was chasing her. *Who would do this to Kendel? And most of all Why!?*
"Just take me back... to the manor. It's not... safe here." She coughed. I nodded and took Kendel back to the manor.
I set her on the couch and she turned into her human form. He body was covered in cuts and bruises. Before I could ask her again what happened she pulled me roughly towards her. "Why the hell didn't you tell me Maxwell was still alive!?" I lightly remove her hand from my shirt and stood up. I couldn't say a word. "Damn it Axel tell me... why..." She coughed and groaned in pain.
"I didn't think it mattered.." I sat down not looking her in the eye. I had kept this secret from her, my trusted friend. All because I thought I could get rid of him before he hurt anyone. I felt so guilty and stupid.
"Didn't matter huh!? Are you stupid? Now that he's back this whole town is in danger." Kendel stated the obvious. I rolled my eyes and leaned back into the chair. Kendel tried to sit up only to yelp in pain and fall back down. The scent of her blood hit the air and I covered my nose. "Fuck this hurts so much."
"Let me get you some... Some bandages." I went back out into town, stole some cigarettes and a first aid kit from a drug store and rushed back to the manor. I find Kendel on the floor half passed out. I picked her up and laid her back on the couch. "Why did you move?" I got out the first aid and bandaged her open wounds. The smell of blood was making my fangs throb. But I held back the best I could.
"I wanted to get a blanket..." She managed to say. I finished wrapping her up and carry her downstairs and let her sleep in my coffin. I also threw a blanket over her to keep her warm. "Thank you," before could say anything else she passed out completely.
I head back upstairs only to hear the front door open. *Lucky me, a visitor because I just love those.* I rushed into the living room and sneak up behind the visitor. "Hi there." The person turned around and screamed. Then hit me on the head with something before I could see who it was. Once my vision cleared I saw that it was Roxas. "Ow! That hurt."
"Oh Axel I'm so sorry. You scared me." He laughed and threw whatever he hit me with on the floor.
"So you hit your boyfriend on the head because he scared you? In a place you knew he'd been residing for sixty years..." I pulled him into my arms and held him close. I felt his arms warp around me and he snuggled into my chest. I could feel his warmth again it was a blissful feeling. "You're so lucky you're cute."
Roxas laughed. I just rolled my eyes and kept him close to me."Yes, anyway any luck finding your cat Kendel?"
"Yep, she just got lost and got herself hurt. She's asleep right now downstairs. Poor woman." I lied because Roxas didn't need to know anything about Maxwell and how I 'came to know him.' Or how the hell he was still moving around! It would be better that way. I wouldn't want him being worried about me. I'm a vampire I can handle myself. I'm also not the best storyteller.
"Woman?" I heard a jealous tone in his voice.
"Kendel is a woman yes. But she is cursed to be a cat for breaking one of the Laws of Magic. It's a long and personal story." Roxas stepped back and gave me a skeptical look. As if I were lying to him. I sighed. "Let me just say her and I have a friends only relationship. I don't like her that way nor does she feel the same. In fact she thinks I'm a perverted moron with a weird sense of humor." I was again being honest. I am a very faithful person and believe that a relationship with just a single person is great thing.
'I'll even prove it when she wakes up. For now please believe me. I haven't lied to you since we started dating." I once again hold him against me and again felt the urge to bite into his neck. To drink that delicious forsaken blood. I felt him go on his tip toes to kiss me while I was distracted. I couldn't help but kiss him back. I also couldn't help but unzip his jacket and remove his scarf. Not for the reason you're thinking though.
"Whoa there, getting a bit ahead of yourself." He pulled away and zipped his jacket back up. "What the your eyes. They changed..." Roxas quickly grabbed his scarf and stepped further back. I reached out to touch him but he flinched.
"I told you before I won't bite you unless you say it's ok. I don't want you to be scared of me." I looked down at the floor. My voice was low and I felt sad.I then hear an unzipping sound and something hitting the floor. I looked to see that Roxas had thrown his coat off. He then reproaches me staring me in the face. *Now what's wrong with him? *
"Go ahead." Roxas pulled at his shirt collar and exposed his neck. I was surprised that he was giving me permission to bite. I just smirked and ran my tongue over my fangs. *Wait this better not be a trap. Even so I'll still get blood out of him.* Though I was skeptical, I was too thirsty to care. I rushed behind him, reached around his waist and pulled him close.
I tilt his head to the side about ready to sink my fangs in his neck But before I could I had to make sure he was really ok with it. "You sure love?"
"Yes I am." He didn't move. Which meant I was in the clear. I didn't waste another second, I bit down and started to drink. He made little noises but that was normal, when I wasn't going for the kill. Though I felt myself taking too much blood.
It tasted so good, I hope I can stop myself.
Chapter Four: END
A/N:
Hi hi. So sorry this chapter took me a couple weeks. I have been very busy as of late. Visiting friends and family and I wasn't on my too much. But I'm back on track.
This chapter I feel is a bit all over the place. But I still think it's a decent chapter, it shows how Axel is becoming so attached to Roxas, and it explains more about him, and his past. I'm hoping this story will be at least 15 or more chapters. I don't know guess we'll see.
Thanks again everyone for the reviews, follows and favorites. I really appreciate it. I never thought that my story would be this well liked! ^^
