Hellooooo!!! I have just come out of my two first mid-terms and I'm like "I-have-no-idea-what-I-just-did"!! Stupidity sucks, especially after you study all your weekend!! Anyway here it comes, chapter 4!! But first, lets answer to my favorite reviewers and let's see what happened to Amon and Darien after I left them with my inside kids all weekend!!! Yay!!
KaTIE-LeE: Ha, did you see? Amon is a real hottie, and when it comes to put a real face on him I put Roy Dupui's face!! Have you seen La Femme Nikita, he is another mayor hottie!! And also thanks for your reviews. Domo Arigato!!!
Cosmoscrystal96: Don't worry if you couldn't review for chapter two, I really hope you enjoy it!!!! And I wanted you to jump on the kiss part, but then cut it off abruptly!! Hahaha Cliffhangers!! I just love them!!!
Uhamilton: I'll try to keep the good work to keep you fans happy!!! I am so happy when you review!! So if you want to keep me updating, review!!!
Kel-Vampyre: Amon is from Witch Hunter Robin, one of my top three favorite anime on the whole world!! The plot goes like this: In the world there are humans with special abilities called "witches" and a special organization named Solomon hunts and kill them. The Japanese branch of Solomon, STN-J lost a hunter six months ago so HQ sent them a replacement, a 15 year old witch named Robin. She is partnered with another hunter named Amon (such a hottie!!! I just wish he was real) and learns that STN-J doesn't kill witches, they capture them and send them to a place called "Factory" and use a green substance to stop their powers named Orbo. I won't tell anything else, so you can see the rest. If you like supernatural themes mixed with a mystery and action scenes, then you will love WHR!!
And what about Amon and Darien and my two sides?? Let's see what happened to them this weekend:
Bad side: More, more, more!!
(Darien is pouring a whole bottle of tequila inside Amon's mouth)
Good side: (Tipsy) Hahahahaha!!! He is drowning!!!
(Amon begins to cough as he chokes on a sea of tequila. Darien pulls the bottle and begins to laugh. Soon the laughter is replaced by some drunken cry)
Darien: I miss Serena! (He sobs and cries a little more)
Amon: (as he places his arm around his shoulders): Ah, forget her!! Girls are nothing but trouble!! Because of Robin I got shot twice!!! Oh, I know, lets sing! (They start singing "Sigo siendo el rey" a very popular drunk song here in Latin America)
Good and bad sides: Shut up!!!! (They put their hands on their ears, as they keep singing, very badly by the way)
…Lets continue with the story…
Chapter four: Waking up to the cold truth
donde existe el dolor
cautiva de mar
donde vive
el amor
que no se puede olvidar
donde existe el
dolor
cautiva de mar
aunque insista el amor
no
se puede mirar... atras
(Where the pain exists
Captive of the sea
Where the pain lives
And can't be forgotten
Captive of the sea
Even if the love insists
You can't look back)
Serena jumped through the rooftops, trying to keep her mind away from the kiss Darien gaved her just thirty minutes ago. The pain on her shoulder was numbing, as her vampire blood took care of it. Her lips still felt swollen from the kiss, which didn't help much to forget. Serena could still feel his hands roaming through her body, and how good they felt. Surprisingly, her soul screamed that wanted more, but her head was against to the idea. Stupid council, she repeated over and over again, but then she changed her approach of the situation, stupid me, why do I have to keep him safe, I am the other contestant for the throne, maybe I could kill him and then kill Onuki. Then I could get away from the hunters and start over. But the idea sounded wrong as soon as she thought of it. She wasn't as mindless as she wanted to be. Stupid morality.
A weird feeling started on Serena's neck. Someone is following me, she realized and kept on walking as usual, while she took an arrow out of her sleeve.
Serena leaped to the next rooftop and walked behind a pillar. A shadow appeared on the same spot where she had been just a few seconds before. A evil smirk appeared on her face as she got a hold on the arrow and tackled the form. Her hand flew to the thorat of her victim and her eyes flew open when she saw Seiya standing beneath her.
"I always thought of you as the kind of girl that likes to be on top" He chuckled as Serena stood up.
"What the hell do you want Seiya?" She growled at the black haired hunter. He stood up and shook the dust out of his coat.
"I heard you were babysitting a young half-breed" He said to her, "what that's the only thing you can do now?"
"No, its just that the rest of you hunters are too pathetic to take care of him. Onuki wants him dead" She said to him as she placed the arrow on the holster. She sat on the ledge of the building, her legs dangling on the outer side of the wall. Seiya sat next to her as he saw her hair wave with the wind. He had known Serena since he was assigned as a hunter, ten years ago. He was 18 years old at the time and was charged with training the young girl, that was 11 back then. He had always knew of her tough attitude against authorities and never looked forward to her training sessions, because she always ended up getting upset and beating the crap out of him. Soon he began feeling attracted to her, but she only rejected him, preferring to live alone and to hunt alone, living the life of an outcast, being the half-breed she was.
"So, how is he?" He asked her, trying to get info on her charge.
"His name is Darien Shields and is four years older than me. Stubborn as an mule."
He stared at her, reading her expression. He saw something that scared him. Is that love I see on her? Or maybe concern?
"And?" He asked her.
She turned to face him.
"And what?"
He chuckled at her.
"There is something else you are not telling me."
She sighed.
"I think that he may be my mate"
His eyes grew wide and stood up.
"You can't have a mate. You know what the council would do to you"
She stood up, rage and confusion all over her face.
"Don't you think I know that? But that is something I can't control! I couldn't control myself when…" She trailed off, remembering the kiss they had shared a few moments ago.
He frowned when she stopped.
"What? Don't tell me that you already…"
She shook her head.
"No, we just made out on my couch. Thankfully I stopped before anything else happened."
Seiya turned away.
"I gotta go"
She turned to him.
"Why are you leaving?"
"I undestand now why you rejected me all those times"
"What do you mean?"
"I never fully undestood the vampire mating rituals. But now I do." He turned at her, "You sould have seen your face when you were talking about this guy Sere. Your eyes began sparkling with something I have never seen in you all this time. You care about him Sere and don't try to deny it. Maybe he was destined to be with you, maybe he was destined to find you."
Serena's eyes grew wide and then she looked down.
"I can't run away from this can I? My vampire side is taking over and there is nothing I can do?"
Seiya walked to her and placed his hands on her shoulders. She winked with pain, making him back off.
"What happened?"
She shrugged.
"I got ambushed by some vampires. No big deal"
He smiled at her.
"You are still the same girl I met a few years ago Sere. The fact that your mate happens to be your charge changes nothing. You are not turning into those monsters we hunt. You are just falling in love with your life mate. You are actually more lucky than us humans because your mating ritual last longer than ours. Don't be afraid of that Sere."
He turned away to the ledge and stopped before walking down the firescape.
"Don't worry about me, I won't tell the old hags. And I would never hunt you Sere. I care about you too much"
Serena smiled at him, the fact unnoticed by him.
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA
It was 1 a.m. when Serena finally arrived to her apartment. She leaped on the balcony of her room and opened the glass doors. She took out her coat and bow and placed them on the bed, and opened the door to the living room. Everything was silent and that made her worry that maybe Darien left the place. She walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge, taking out a beer. She looked at the living room and saw him lying on the couch, soundly asleep. I see that he took seriously the thing of sleeping on the couch. How can he sleep there? That thing is as uncomfortable as a thorn on your side. She walked next to him and nudged him on the shoulder.
"Hey, sleepy head"
Darien was having a nightmare once again. But this time the dream was different. He was standing on a huge chamber and Serena was at his side, fighting a lot of undead, taking them one by one. They were both drenched in blood and they held swords against the sea of vampires. Soon they took over all of them, and on a tall chair a dark figure of a man sat. He lifted a bow and shot an arrow at a incredible velocity. Then he saw Serena fall, the arrow piercing her chest and then she turned to dust. He felt a nudge on his shoulder that took him out of the nightmare.
He sat, breathing fast and seeing Serena standing in front of him.
"Bad dreams?" She asked at him. He just nodded.
"That's why I don't like to sleep." She said as she sat on the couch in front of him, and he saw that she was wearing a black sleevless shirt and that on her arms there were a row of silver arrows. He recognized them as the same arrows that killed Serena on his dreams.
"Where did you get those?" He asked her as he pointed at the holster on her arm.
She took one out and held it high.
"These? This are arrows used for vampire hunting. They are made by the priests on the convent. Why?"
"Nothing, just curious. So, how was your hunting?"
She shrugged.
"Bad. Not a single bastard to kill. Why did you took the couch?"
"You told me to."
"I was kidding. There is a guest room on the other side of the hall. No wonder why you were having nightmares. Look," she said as she stood up, "What you need is to get drunk and fall asleep. That's the only way to sleep through without having those dreams"
She walked to the kitchen and took out another beer. He followed her and sat on the counter.
"Look, about what happened earlier…" He started.
"It's ok." She said, her back facing him
"No, its not" He said as he approached her, "This may seem odd to you and even stupid, but I can't stop thinking about that. I have seen you before, in my dreams"
She turned to face him.
"What do you mean?"
"I have been having these dreams where I kill someone and drink their blood. But before I give into killing I see you, taking me away. As if you were saving me. I don't know why I have this dreams, but they just keep coming"
"You are seeking for your mate" She stated, "When a vampire begins seeking for its mate, they struggle with the beast within them. The only way for a vampire to silence the monster is to find their other half, their mate."
He sat back on the counter and Serena handed him a beer.
"How do a vampire know that someone is their mate?"
"The legends say that the mate have the smell they like the most. I really don't get that part, I think its related with the primal instinct of marking territory, you know, the smell that indicates that the area belongs to a specific animal and stuff."
Darien looked down remembering the smell he got from Serena when he kissed her. Basil… Serena is my mate? How is that possible? But deep in his heart he knew the truth.
"Basil…" She heard him say.
"What?" She asked him.
He chuckled.
"I was just thinking…"
"That maybe I am your mate?" She finished the statement and he looked at her, very surprised.
"How did you know?"
" When I met you I got two smells on the air: roses and sun baked soil. The smell of the roses remembers me of my mother, my uncle said that they were her favorite flowers. I remember that I used to steal roses from the convent's yard and place them on my bed at night, and I imagined that my mom was near me. As for the soil, I think that I always liked that smell, it made me feel that I belonged somewhere."
"Then why did you run when I kissed you?" He asked her, as he finished his can of beer.
"If I find a mate, the council of hunters will order my hunt. They alredy don't like me, and if I start having children, they would hate me even more. I am classified as a mistake, a mistake that can be let pass once, but if it repeats, it must be contained." She gave a sarcastic smile, "They don't like me that much. Besides, your vampire side is still dormant. You haven't developed any abilities, you still can have a normal life, as soon as Onuki is dead. If you stay with me, you would be hunted as well." She rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes, "You deserve better and I am gonna die one way of the other, if not by the vampires, by the council."
He placed a hand on her waist, bringing her closer to him. They just stood there, enjoying each other's warmth. If only things would have been different, Serena thought, sighing.
"I want to train." He said.
She looked up at him.
"Train what?"
"To fight. To become a hunter. It don't want to be a burden for you. I want to learn to fight and kill vampires. At least I could be by your side and help you."
She smiled at him.
"Ok. We will start in a few hours."
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA
The sun shone outside the window as Darien and Serena walked into the training room on her apartment. On the walls, different types of weapons hung. Sai, Bows, different types of katanas and small daggers. On the center of the room there was a huge space that could be used as a training space.
"Do you know how to use these?" He asked as he took some shuriken from a table that stood on the corner.
"Yes, and please don't touch them" She said as she took it from his hands and placed it on the table, "They are very valuable, they belonged to my mother. She was very skilled in Shuriken-jutsu. That's why I trained to be a warrior in those too. The ones I use the most are the Bo-shuriken, since they are more pointy and better for killind vampires."
"So, with what do we start?"
"I guess I am teaching you first hand-to-hand combat and then we could start with some of the main weaponry for the hunters, ok?"
He nooded as she proceeded to teach him. They spend many hours moving against each other, most of the time Serena taking Darien down and then proceeding to explain him what he did wrong. It was sometime near two in the afternoon when they stopped.
They were walking out the room when Serena's phone began to rang. She ran to her room to pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Serena, my dear. I need to talk to you" Stefano's voice was heard on the other side of the line, almost like a whisper.
"Uncle? Is something wrong?" Serena was starting to worry. Her uncle was a very enthusiastic man, but now he seemed worried and almost scared.
"Don't come to the convent. Meet me somewhere else. Remember that park where I used to take you as a child?"
"Yes"
"Be there in twenty minutes. And bring Darien with you. I need to tell you something really important."
After he spoke those words, the line went dead. She flipped the phone off and frowned at it.
"What's wrong?" Darien was standing next to her, placing his hand on her right shoulder.
"My uncle needs to see us. He says that he needs to talk to both of us. Lets go."
Serena ran to her room to change and placed her shuriken under her sleeves. Then they ran to the parking lot and rushed to the park.
