Chapter 10

Back at the field, Jae and the others were sitting down talking. Most of the other creatures and vampires were still practicing and maufacturing their weapons and such. Becca walked over to Train and sat next to him.

"Everyone's fixed and ready." she smiled, sitting next to him. Train nodded.

"Mal and Avina should be on their way back now." Fai said taking a breath.

"Don't worry, Mal will be fine." Becca assured Fai. Just then, a vampire with long black hair walked up to the group. She had a spaghetti strap shirt on with a jacket covering it. She had on long jeans and some shoes. Her eyes were a nice dark green color and she seemed like a gentle vampire. As she approached the group, Carlos's eyes widened.

"Wow, long time no see guys." the girl said smirking. Everyone looked at her.

"Who are you?" Jae asked looking at her. She laughed.

"Rubia." Becca replied as she looked at her.

"Rubia?" Jae said confused.

"Someone that tried to kill Britt and was banished from the head mansion by Lucius." she explained. Jae looked at her surprised. Just then, Rubia noticed Carlos and smiled.

"Don't tell me that you're still head over heels for Britt?" Rubia said sarcastically as she stood in front of him.

"Heh, I see you haven't changed one bit." he replied back while looking away. Rubia got mad.

"I can say the same about you." she said angrily. She then walked over to Fai.

"It's a surprise to see that you of all people agreed to kill Lucius." Rubia stared.

"Yeah. It's just...he did something unforgiveable that upset someone precious to me." Fai explained.

"Precious to you?" she asked.

"A vampire named Mal." Becca added sitting next to Fai.

"Nice to see you too Becca." Rubia smirked.

"Your wish came true. Britt was killed earlier today." she replied. Rubia looked at her.

"Yea, I heard. I agreed to help because I want Lucius to die. I am in no way helping you guys because he killed Britt." Rubia exclaimed.

"Who the hell are you to say that?!" Jae shouted getting angry.

"Calm down Jae!" Fai demanded.

"Jae? Who are you boy?" Rubia asked looking at him. Jae stayed quiet.

"He loves Britt." Becca answered.

"Is that so?" Rubia smiled, looking back at Carlos.

"Soo...I'm sure you know that Carlos is in love with her as well right?" she added.

Jae looked away as well as Carlos.

"Enough Rubia, leave them alone." Fai assured as he stood up.

"Fine." she replied walking off.

Becca looked over at Jae. "You okay?" she asked.

"Who is she?" Jae asked looking at the ground.

Becca sighed and took a deep breath as she sat down next to Jae. "Rubia was once apart of our group. She lived in the mansion along with the rest of us including Britt. She was very kind and gentle but one day, she confessed her love to Carlos and he turned her down saying that he was in love with Britt. From then on, Rubia became aggressive and ruthless. She didn't care about anything or anyone and ended up hating Britt. One night while Britt was alone, Rubia showed up and tried to kill her but was stopped by Carlos. Lucius found out about it and banished her from the mansion. She was no longer seen after that." she explained.

"Damn..." Jae remarked. "Why does everyone love Britt?" he added.

"Britt's beautiful and fragile, that's why." Becca smiled. "But remember, she loves you Jae so don't worry." she assured.

Mal and Avina were speeding through the forest like a fast cheetah until Avina suddenly stop.

"Ow! What's wr-" "Shh!" Avina interrupted as she put her hand on Mal's lips. She looked around very slowly and her eyes turned red.

"Mal, we have company." Avina warned. Mal became worried and also looked around. She could feel as if somebody was especially watching her but couldn't pinpoint where the figure was. Just then, the figure appeared behind her so quickly that it was like a flash before their eyes. Avina got angry as she noticed who it was behind Mal.

"Ren!" she said angrily.

"I told you i'd be back Mallory." Ren smirked as he licked her neck. Avina ran at him in full speed but was quickly thrown against about two trees which caused her to lose consciousness.

"Avina!!!" Mal shouted as she saw her laying on the ground. She tried to break away from Ren's grip but he was stronger. He tightened his grip on Mal and looked at her with an evil smile.

"Time to go sweetie." he said thrilled to smell the scent of Mal's blood. They soon vanished in thin air, leaving Avina on the ground.

Fai and the others were all sitting and waiting for both Mal and Avina to return.

"I'm getting worried." Dante said sadly.

"Yeah, me too." Becca added. Just then, someone had contacted Fai through their mind and it caught his attention.

"Fai!" Avina replied frantically through her thoughts. Fai quickly stood up and everybody looked at him wondering what was wrong.

"Avina?!"he shouted. As he said that, Dante jumped up and immediately got angry.

"Where is she?!" Dante said angrily.

"Fai! Ren..he was here! He took Mal!" Avina panicked.

"Avina, calm down. Where are you?" he replied trying to calm her down.

"Fai!" Dante yelled.

"Wait." Becca suggested grabbing Dante's arm. He sighed and nodded.

"I'm east of the field. It's not far." she answered.

"We'll be there soon. Hang on!" he demanded. Fai then looked back at the group.

"Ren took Mal and Avina is still in the forest." he explained.

"We have to find Avina!!" Dante hollered as he started to walk off.

"Wait Dante! I'm coming with you." Fai replied. "Becca, Jae. You guys stay with the group." he implied.

"But..we're supposed to be infiltrating the mansion in a few hours and we need the spell book to bring Britt back." Becca implored as she looked at them worried. Fai looked over at Train and nodded.

"We'll go with you guys to get the book then we'll head for the mansion." Train said gently placing his hand on Becca's shoulder.

"But Train we-" "It's ok." he smiled. "Mal will be fine." he added hugging her.

"Then let's go." Jae demanded as he signaled everyone else to follow both Dante and Fai. The whole group left to go find Avina. Carlos slowly followed as well.

Ren tied Mal's hands to a wall so she couldn't escape. He then walked over to Mal and slid his finger from her cheek down to the middle of her chest.

"I can feel the blood flowing through your veins quite fast." he smirked. "There's no reason to be scared or nervous. I'll kill you nice and slow." he added as he licked her neck again.

"Get away from me, you nasty ass!" Mal shouted. Ren quickly kissed her while feeling on her body. Mal desperately tried to push him away but she couldnt free her hands and was very vulnerable.

After the kiss, Ren moved closer to her face and smiled evily.

"Boy am I glad Britt turned you into a vampire. You're blood smells so amazing. I yearn for it so bad. Fai doesn't deserve it." he said laughing.

"He deserves it more than you do bitch!" Mal hollered.

"Just like he deserved Emma's blood too?" He smirked. Mal looked at him in shock and then looked away. "She isn't important to him.." she said sadly.

"Is that so? Well I guess you don't know do you?" he mentioned. Mal looked at him confused.

"Emma was his first love before he met you. Back then, he used to be so in love with her and everything. Of course, she was in the high class also so everybody excepted them as a couple. Then one night, while he was feeding off her, he almost killed Emma and had to be wrestled down by Adam before finishing her off. He was ruthless and out of control. He didn't want to stop feeding off her." Mal couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her love, Fai, the kind gentle vampire was once a ruthless creature who almost killed someone he loved. "After that, he ended it with Emma to prevent him from killing her. Of course though, she didn't want to end it and begged for him to stay with her but he refused. He promised that he'd never fall for another vampire and yet, he broke that promise..." Ren trailed off and looked at Mal. She looked at him. "Because of you.." Mal's eyes widened.

"Because of..me..? she hesitated to say.

"Hurts, doesn't it?" Ren laughed as he sat in his chair. Mal closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Even so, It's not his fault that he fell in love again. You can't control that feeling at all. I believe in Fai and he won't hurt me. He's not a bad person at all. He's kind and gentle and sweet. Even with all his flaws, I still love and cherish him with my heart. He's that precious to me and I'll be with him regardless of his wrongdoings." she declared. Ren glared at her with hateful eyes and quickly threw himself at her, pinning her against the wall. "That is..the most disgusting thing I've ever heard. You really are gullable." he answered backing off.

Fai and everyone reached Avina.

"Avina!!" Dante yelled as he quickly ran up to her and hugged her. Avina closed her eyes as she hugged him back.

"Are you okay Avina?" Becca asked worried. She nodded.

"Where did he take Mal?" Fai also asked in a hurried voice.

"I'm pretty sure he's at the place where you last fought him." she answered. Fai stood up and walked over to Becca.

"I'll bring her back." he declared in confidence. Becca smiled and nodded.

"Head to the mansion without me. When I get Mal, we'll come straight there." Fai explained to Train. He nodded as Fai ran off into the distance.

"Soo..where's this book?" Jae asked Avina. She picked it up from the ground and handed it to him. Jae looked through the book and soon realized that he isn't a vampire.

"You look." he said handing it to Becca. She giggled.

"Yeah. Don't forget. You're not a vampire boy." she added while laughing. Then she opened the book and finally found the page where the spell is. As she started to read, Jae and Train watched her expressions from her face.

"Well?" Jae said getting impatient. Becca sighed. "We can't bring her back to life yet."

"What?! Why not?!" Jae shouted angrily.

"You need to get a drop of Lucius's blood to officially bring her back." Carlos said finally talking again after the incident with Rubia. Jae looked at him and then back at Becca. She nodded.

"We have to kill him first and then we can bring Britt back." she replied.

"Ugh! Damnit!" Jae said angrily.

"Well, let's get going to the mansion now." Train suggested. Everyone nodded. Dante helped Avina up. "Are you okay to fight?" he asked her. She smiled. "Yup!" she cheered.

"Is Everyone ready to take back whats ours?!" Dante shouted.

"Yeah!!!" Everyone shouted back.

"Then let's go kick some ass!!" Becca cheered. Everyone shouted and yelled at the same time and headed for the mansion.

Jae walked next to Carlos. "I'm guessing Rubia still loves you?" he asked. Carlos nodded. "So why not be with her?" he asked again. Carlos stopped and stared at him. "Don't ask me a question like that. You know why I don't want to be with her so don't make me repeat it." he demanded.

"Go ahead and admit it again. It won't change anything." Jae replied, glaring back at him. Carlos stood in front of him. "I love Britt. Nothing you say will change that and I told you before that if you hurt her in any way, I'll kill you." he finished.

"Okay..time to break this up." Becca said interrupting their heated argument. She dragged Carlos away and walked with him while Train stayed with Jae.

"I'm tired of waiting. Your blood is taunting me. I can't take it anymore." Ren said getting impatient. He quickly pinned Mal to the wall once again and started kissing her neck. "You smell so good. I can't believe Fai hasn't tasted your blood yet. Looks like I'll be the first before him." Ren smirked.

"No! I belong to Fai!" Mal screamed. Ren slowly drew his fangs and bit into her neck. "Noo...." Mal softly said as he started to drink her blood. Just then, Fai bursted in and quickly threw Ren into another wall causing him to slide down the wall and to the ground.

"Fai..." Mal said in relief. He quickly untied her hands from the ropes and picked her up. As he started walking off with her in his arms, Ren attacked from behind causing Fai to drop Mal as he was thrown at the window. "Fai!!" she shouted as she jumped on Ren's back but was quickly thrown off by him. "I'll finish you off right now!" Ren demanded as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her close really fast but before he could bite into her wrist, he was tackled by Fai. While this was going on, Mal started to feel a bit dizzy and collasped on the ground. Ren laughed.

"What're you laughing for?" Fai said angrily.

"I think you should be more focused on her rather than me right now." Ren replied poiting at Mal. Fai quickly looked over and his eye's widened. She was shaking and in so much pain, screaming and shouting. Fai quickly ran over to her but was attacked by Ren again, pushing him away from Mal.

"What did you do to her?!" Fai shouted in anger.

"Have you forgotten? My blood is poison and so I did bite Mal on her neck which caused my blood to flow into her body. So basically, thats the posion reacting. She'll soon die if you don't save her." he explained as he smiled. Fai became really mad and went bersek on Ren. The battle was finally about to come to an end. Fai had Ren by the neck against a wall.

"I'm gonna kill you for hurting someone very precious to me." he angrily said.

"Heh, try." Ren replied. Fai gripped his hand tighter around Ren's neck which caused him to pass out. He then burned Ren's body and killed him. Fai then, quickly ran back over to Mal and placed her in his lap.

"Mal." he said desperately wanting an answer from her. Mal continued to scream in pain. "I have to save you. I don't want to hurt you." he told her. "It's only me though and I don't know if I can stop but this is the only way." he added as he bit Mal's neck and began drinking her blood. Soon, Mal stopped screaming and shaking uncontrollably. She started to feel tired and was starting to lose consciousness. Fai knew that she was okay and the posion was gone but he couldn't stop. Her blood was so good and tender. "Find the strength to stop", "She's precious to you. Control yourself." all these kind of thoughts were spiraling through Fai's head but still coudln't resist. "Stop...", "Stop...!" "Fai Stop!" Fai shifted his eyes to the left of him and saw a hand on his shoulder and then a familiar face. "Stop..you're killing her Fai." the guy responded. Fai finally stopped and looked back at Mal who looked as if she was about to fall asleep. "I..." he began to say. "Don't worry. You saved her." the guy smiled. "Adam." he replied. "Thank you." he added.

Soon Mal woke back up and noticed Fai asleep next to her. She smiled and touched his face. "I knew you'd come for me." she said.

"I told you that I'll protect you at any costs." he replied opening his eyes. Mal looked shock but then smiled as she gazed into his golden eyes. "I love you Mal and I'll never hurt you again." Fai demanded kissing her forehead.

"I love you too." she smiled as she hugged him.

"Erm..guys, I think we should head back to the mansion." Adam said interrupting them.

"Adam! You're helping us?" Mal replied shocked.

"Well yeah. The headmaster has gone on a rampage. Lily told him about you guys and the army that's gonna attack the mansion." he explained.

"Damn!" Fai said slamming the ground.

"That bitch!" Mal added standing up.

"Well, let's go end this." Fai demanded. Everyone nodded and walked out. Later on they finally stood a few feet from the mansion.

"You ready?" Fai said looking at the both of them. They both nodded.

"Let's go kick some ass!" Mal shouted as they all ran towards the mansion.
