Chapter 10: Victor Vincent p2

The sun was rising through the town, leaves falling from the trees, and the crisp air of autumn blowing through everyone's hair. It's been so long since I've been outside, I forgot what the sun rays felt like on my skin, so warm. I was walking through the town with Mesiour Charles, the town was still quiet but there were a few people coming out and opening their shops. I'm guessing we were in the market place seeing as how there are so many shops opening up right now. There were also a few children running around and playing with wooden swords and dolls. It was so nice to be out of that dreadful room again, I'll have to enjoy this day while I can.

"Oh, I forgot how peaceful the market place is during this time of the day." I said as I looked at the shops and food stalls surrounding us. "I guess since it's so early they would be, this place is rather nice." Said Mesiour Charles. "So Mesiour Charles?" I said. "Victor, you're making me sound old. Just call me Charles." Said Charles. "Oh, I'm sorry…Charles? What made you want to hunt vampires in the first place?" I asked Charles. "Oh, that's a long story." Said Charles. "I've got time. So tell me your story, especially the teal hair of yours."

I reached up and ruffled is hair, it was soft and a bit shiny, I actually liked the color.

"Oh, I can't remember how my hair got like this, actually. I remember it use to be a brownish blonde kind of color. A lot of people don't like it." Said Charles. "Well…I think it gives you a since of unique to you. I think it suits your character." Charles face turned pink, but cover his face quickly with his hand. "Thank you…Angel." Hearing that made me blushed a bit, too. "So where do I begin?"

Charles and I talked for hours. He told me about his family, who was apparently a wealthy bunch, how he adored his little sister the way Cornell adores me, how beautiful and kind his mother was, and how stricted his father was towards him. He really did come from a loving family and I couldn't believe how they were killed by vampires. I told him about how my mother loved to travel and bring back so many souvenirs from her destinations. I told him how she got sick during one of her trips and how she died a few days after she came home and before I fell ill. We talked and talked and talked, and I was enjoying every word that came through his lips. We talk for so long, I didn't realize the sun was setting.

"Oh." I said. "What's wrong?" Charles asked. "I didn't realize how long we've been out, it's starting to get dark. Cornell will be furious if we don't return home." I explained.

Charles looked up at the sky, looking at how it was changing from a fusion pink to a dark purple blue-ish color…then he looked at me and smiled.

"I guess we should. Not only that, but James is probably just as angry with me as Cornell." He said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me a little close to him. "Let's get going."

On our way back, we passed several shops looking at the displays in the windows, one in particular was a jewelry shop that had the prettiest head pin on display. The hair pin was white with blue sapphires that formed a flower with a little dangling diamond under it. It was beautiful.

"You like that hair pin?" Charles asked. "Huh?...oh, I do, but it's looks expensive." I answered. "I'll buy it for you." Said Charles. "W-What? Oh n-n-no, you don't have to spend your money on me. Besides, it's too expensive. There's no way you have that much on you." I said nervously with blush creeping on my face. "But I want to…" He said with a smile. "Just wait here." He said as he ruffled my hair and went inside.

I couldn't help but blush again as I touched the spot Charles touched. His hand was big, just like James, warm too. As I looked through the window and watch Charles and the jeweler inside talk to one another, a figure came up close to me. I looked up to see a light-skinned man, more likely of mixed blood, who was dressed pretty fancy in his red and black suit and black top hat.

"What a lovely scent you have, boy."

"Hey, victor. I know it took me a bit but I got that-" I stopped when I noticed that Victor was gone. "Victor?"

I took a few steps further and my foot stepped in something wet. I lifted my shoe and my eyes widened…Blood…fresh blood. It couldn't be his, could it? I noticed a few more puddles of blood leading through an alley and out to the forest. I followed the trail of blood and prayed that the crimson spots on the ground weren't Victors.

The trail of blood stopped and I was in the middle of a clearing. The only light I had were that of the moon and stars. I looked around and the only thing I could hear were the chirping of crickets. Then I rustling in the trees in every direction, I pulled out my pistol ready to shoot, and aimed for the place where the rustling finally stopped. I saw a figure and pointed my pistol at it.

"Come on out and show yourself." I yelled.

The figure stepped out of the shadows carrying someone in its arms. I felt my heart sank to the bottom of my stomach and dissolve when I saw who the figure was carrying.

"Victor!" I yelled.

Victor's clothes were drenched in blood and he was so pale, almost on the verge of death. The man carrying him smiled.

"What did you do to him?" I yelled. "I guess went a little overboard. Such a sweet tasting young child, his blood was nothing like I ever tastes." The man lifted Victor to his lips and licked the blood residue from his neck, I felt the urge to kill him right on the spot take over me, but I couldn't cause there was a chance I could hurt Victor in the process. "His blood is so sweet yet delicate, mixed his virginity and its heaven ray of light. I know you want to have a taste of his blood, young man. So, why do you hide your real self?" I stared at him. "I don't know what you're talking about." I stepped closer to him ready to shoot. "Just had the boy over and I won't kill you." He gripped Victor's body tightly. "Ah." I heard victor moan. "This boy is already on the verge of death, just a few more drops off his blood and he'll be dead. If you don't even want the rest of his blood, then I'll just take it for myself. I'll be sure to leave his corpse for the wolves." He laughed as he jumped high into the air in attempt to escape.

Unfortunately for him he didn't make it. The minute he had his back turned I shot him and his body turned to ashes, but he still had Victor in his arms. When the vampire vanished, Victor was falling from the sky. I raced to him and caught him just in time before his body made an impact with the ground. I sat up and held him close to me.

"Victor?" I called out his name, but got no response. "Victor?!" I shook him gently and still no response.

I lifted his chest to my ear and feared the worst. His body was losing his warmth and his heart beats were much slower than normal. If I don't do something now, victor will die…and it'll be all my fault. There was only one thing I knew that could save him.

I laid him down on the ground really quick and took off my jacket and shirt and on my chest was the hunters mark. I took a blade out of my pocket and pierced it through the skin of the mark. I pulled the bladed out of my body and the wound healed on its own and the hunters mark was no longer there. The hunters mark concealed what I truly was…a vampire. Yes, I was that of what I hated most and I could feel the blood lust I kept hidden for so long remerge once again. My fangs sprouted and my eyes turned red as I lifted Victor and held him close to me once more. Victor in a daze creaked his eyes open and looked at me.

"Charles? Am I going to die?" he asked quietly. "Save your strength, Victor…" I brushed a strand of hair out his face and tucked it behind his ear. "It'll all be over soon."

He closed his eyes and I lifted his neck to my lips. I hate to admit but the damn bastard was right; Victor's blood smelled so sweet, no vampire would be able to resist. I licked his neck and bit deep inside it. His blood was now flowing through me and it was so delicious and I could taste the pure virgin side of him. Before I could lose myself, I let go and looked at his face. He was so pale and sickly but still had such beauty to him.

"Forgive for this."

I bit my wrist, sucking some of my blood into my mouth and pressed my lips against his. Victor…at least this way…we'll be together always.
