RPOV

Riku was asleep, blissfully dreaming about places with warmer weather, beaches and Sora. Sora was laughing, playing with Riku in the water, "Riku!" Sora called happily holding out his hand. Laughing at Sora's enthusiasm, Riku reached out for Sora's hand. Riku frowned, confusion dawning across his face, he could hardly move. Sora laughed shaking his head, then turned and ran away. Confused, Riku looked down, slowly he realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. He reached up, and looked around, he was in an all white room with a mirror. Looking at himself, he traced the scar on his collarbone. Sora stood behind him. "What are you..." the boy whispered.

Riku spun around, trying to cover his scar, "Sora!"

"No! You're not a vampire! WHAT ARE YOU?" Sora screamed, tears streamed down his face.

Riku reached toward him, "No! I swear! I'm a vampire! Please Sora!" The room changed with a hazy swirl of colours. Sora was sitting on the floor with his back to Riku, "Sora?" Riku called timidly, wincing, he tentatively took a step forward, as a sharp pain shot through his mouth. Riku stepped forward again, walking around Sora. "Sora?" he asked again. Sora looked up at him, his throat was covered in blood, his eyes streamed tears.

"Why Riku?" Sora asked to Riku's horror, blood bubbled out of Sora's mouth, covering his chin and staining his clothes, "Why did you kill me?"

Riku's eyes widened, gasping, the pain shot through his mouth again, reaching up to cover his mouth, Riku felt a stab against his fingers. Looking at his hands, Riku saw the blood. Thick red blood was spattered across his chest and his hands, his breath coming quickly now, Riku spun back to the mirror. Stumbling up to it, Riku saw the fangs protruding from his mouth, stretching his gums and tearing his lips.

Feeling faint, Riku noticed the scar pulsing, like a separate heartbeat, then it started pulsing faster and faster, ripping, tearing open, the vampire inside fighting to get out. A horrid snarl ripped loose from Riku's mouth. Horrified, Riku fell against the mirror, no, he didn't fall, a hand reached out of the mirror and pulled him closer. Inside the mirror was another Riku. This other Riku laughed fiercely, his hair was longer, his eyes a bloody red and his fangs, bloody. An exact replica of Riku, except for the missing scar.

Riku tore away from the mirror stumbling back, falling to the floor. Sora lay on the floor beside him, eyes closed and not moving. Crawling to Sora, tears streamed from his eyes as he caressed his face. Behind him, the other Riku was laughing as he stepped through the mirror, with a sickening squelching noise, he pulled free from the mirror and walked toward Riku.

"No." Riku snarled, covering Sora, "Stay away."

The other Riku smiled manically, "Never, this has already happened. You're a murderer." He said tearing Riku away from Sora and throwing him against the wall. Riku fell with a loud crash and a sickening snap, he felt his bones crack and he lay helplessly on the floor. The other Riku paused to laugh, then he reached for Sora, grabbing at his arm, he tore the skin and taunted Riku.

Snarling, Riku felt his fangs grow longer, he felt his bones heal themselves and his hair grew longer, standing, Riku threw himself back at the other. Sinking his teeth into his collarbone, Riku tore the skin away while clawing at other parts of his body. The two tore around the room, fighting in clashes and tearing at one another.

Soon, Riku sat atop the other. Poised for fight, but nothing came. Breathing wildly, Riku tried to take the others pulse, but there was nowhere to put his fingers, there was no intact skin. He sat atop a heap of torn up flesh.

A laughing echoed around the room, "You will never outrun...your...past..." the whispered threat crawled across Riku's skin and he couldn't get away.

As Riku sat trapped in his own mind. He could faintly hear a voice, Sora's. He was talking to him occasionally, whispering repeated assurances of Riku's wellbeing.

"Riku... Riku please wake up...Riku please be okay..."

Sora... please stop, I can hear you... and you're breaking my heart. Riku pleaded, wishing he could move.

He thought you were dead. They all did. His conscience sounded angry, disappointed even.

I know... Riku felt as though he was trapped inside his mind, it was if he could actually feel walls surrounding his mind, keeping it captive.

Even if you couldn't hear them, I could. I heard them.

I'm sorry.

If you're sorry then wake up.

I can't... I don't know... I think, the human blood is too much for my body to handle. I already have vampire and werewolf blood. Even those fight. Riku knew he sounded pathetic, he knew but couldn't stop. The true reality of being half vampire and half werewolf was pounding away at his mind the longer he was in Castle Oblivion.

Riku fought with his conscience, trying everything to wake up when a new voice interrupted Sora's."Sora, the Council is beginning to arrive. You have to go perform your duties, I'll look after Riku." the voice said, whom Riku recognized as Cloud.

"Okay." Riku could practically see the pout on Sora's face, "Be sure to send word to me when he wakes. I need to know if he's alright."

Awww how cute. Riku's conscience snickered.

Shut up.

The chair creaked next to Riku, Cloud sat down, "Riku I don't know if you're awake, but I know you can hear me. But, when you wake up, stay away from Sora." Cloud's voice shook, and Riku could hear him swallow deeply, "I'm sorry to do this, but it's for the best. Sora has enough to deal with without you confusing him."

What?! He can't do that! His conscience yelled, enraged.

Riku said nothing, the walls around his mind were getting stronger, "So it's best if you just go back to sleep, and stay asleep for a while. The Council is coming, and they wouldn't think twice about putting a lone vampire like yourself to death." Cloud muttered his voice dark, then stood and left the room.

No! He's wrong! Sora would never let that happen! Riku get up and go after him! Stop him!

Defeated and shot down, Riku rolled over, No. I'm tired. I think, I'm just going to go back to sleep for a while.

His conscience was pleading and sorrowful now, Riku...

No. Shut the hell up! I'll deal with this later!

With that, Riku slipped back into a not so peaceful sleep.

Riiiiiikuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, his conscience called, Riku moaned aloud, Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, waaaaaaaaaake up!

Mmff, no...

Riku buried his face into his pillow, RIKU! Stop this pathetic attempt to face people!

"Noooooo." Riku said aloud.

"Riku?" A voice said sounding hopeful, the chair creaked beside Riku, someone was sitting on it, leaning forward onto the bed.

Riku opened his eyes, Roxas was perched next to him, half on the chair, half off. "'mornin." Riku muttered.

"Holy shit you're awake!" shouted Roxas, jumping up and helping Riku sit, flailing his hands around, he sat back down, a blush crossing his face, "How you doing?"

"Pretty good." Riku muttered not looking at Roxas. He still felt kind of apprehensive about being alone with the blond.

Roxas laughed, leaning back onto the chair, "I'm not going to do anything to you, I swear. I'm the only one available to sit with you."

"Where's Sora and Cloud?"

"Sora is dealing with the arriving guests and Cloud is preparing a feast or something." Roxas looked sheepish, "I'm supposed to be on my best behaviour while they're all here. So here is pretty much the only place where I won't be found."

Riku raised an eyebrow, "So you're hiding? From who?"

Roxas fell facedown on the bed, his voice muffled, "Xion." Riku motioned for him to explain some more, Roxas gave him a dirty look, "She's this little vampire in Marluxia's coven who's freaky as shit and totally obsessed with me!" Riku burst out laughing, "No I swear! She follows me around everywhere! And I swear, she looks exactly like Kairi, but her hair's black. No, everyone in Marluxia's coven are freakin hyper!"

Who the hell is Marluxia?

"Who else is here?" Riku asked, moving himself around on the bed to get comfy.

"Okay." Roxas took a big breath. "There are 7 vampires made into two covens, Xemnas, Lexaeus, Demyx, and Luxord, and Marluxia, Xion and Yuffie. 11 witches split into 3 covens, Larxene, Tifa, Vexen, Zexion and Aerith, Lightning, Vanille, and Snow, Yuna, Paine and Rikku," he paused, thinking, "That's Rikku with two k's, a girl. But Yuna's coven probably won't show." Riku nodded. "There's also 9 werewolves, two packs." Riku stiffened, "There's Noctis, Xigbar, Xaldin, Saix. Then there's Sephiroth's pack, but I don't know that pack. They're kinda a mystery. But I do know that there are 4 others."

Fuck... Well that's obviously Loz, Yazoo, Kadaj and Axel.

Riku nodded again to both Roxas and his conscience, clenching his teeth.

"So, Riku?" Roxas inquired, "Do you know why you fainted?" Riku looked at Roxas and shook his head. "Oh, okay. Well then! Do you want to go get something to eat? Or go do something?" Riku shook his head again. "Oh okay." Roxas looked crestfallen.

"Actually," Roxas perked up, "I think I just want to be alone." Riku said looking at the wall.

Roxas bit his lip, "Okay, I guess I'll see you later then." Riku said nothing and waited for the doors to fully close before jumping up and getting dressed.

What the hell was that about? Can you say harsh much?

Shut up, I know, I know. But I just feel like now feels like a good time to go to the observatory. By myself.

The hell? That's so fucking random!

I know, but... It just feels like the place I should be at. Now.

With that thought, Riku opened the door, checked that Roxas was gone, and sprinted to the elevator.

SPOV

Sora stood at the opening of the grand hall, a great open white area, that was currently occupied by himself, and 4 dirty werewolves. The tension crackled around the room as Sora and Sephiroth had a staredown. The younger wolves said and did nothing.

Finally Sephiroth broke the silence, "Sora," the name rolled poisonously off his tongue and the previously mentioned, snarled quietly,

"It's so very nice to see you." he purred."And how is your esteemed elder brother."

Sora's fists clenched, "Sephiroth, it's very nice to see you and your pack. But, are you missing someone? Did you perhaps have a fallout? Did they leave you as well? Just like, oh that young werewolf a couple years back. Just let him go didn't you? No choice?" Sora snarled smoothy, "I always knew you were extremely lax with your cubs. Just look at the ones still with you," Sora motioned towards the others behind Sephiroth. "Not very well groomed are they?"

Loz growled, his brother, Yazoo, held him back, his face impassive. "Calm down." Sora heard him whisper. Kadaj moved protectively in front of the two.

"Just what the hell is that supposed to mean!" Kadaj yelled starting forward, his fists clenched and mouth twisted into a snarl.

At once, there were 10 half vampire servants in the room, spread out around the 5 and ready to pounce if there was at all a threat directed toward held out an arm to Kadaj, motioning for him to stop, Kadaj growled but stayed put.

Sora walked up to and around Sephiroth, towards Kadaj, Sora's eyes crackled and he could feel his aura swirl and sizzle. Kadaj took a step back and was immediately stopped by a vampire. "Never," Sora started, a menacing look on his face, "Insult me, ever again." He stood strong with his back straight, Kadaj was about a head taller but Sora knew he could feel the threat in his bones. Moving back to the front of the group, Sora made sure to look directly into each one of the werewolve's eyes, "Now, if any of you eat, kill, or in any other way hurt any of my servants or one of my other guests when you are in my home. I will make sure, you never think to do that ever again." Sora met Sephiroth's eyes again, "Ray will lead you to your rooms." he said motioning to the half vampire to his side.

He spun and walked out of the room, feeling the stares bore into his back.

Soon after, Sora collapsed onto his bed face down.

Well that was...fun.

No shit!

Seriously! I felt like Sephiroth was going to leap across the table and rip my throat out or something! Sora laughed aloud weakly, "I'm too tired to even change!" he moaned.

Lazy ass.

"I know."

Sora flailed around on the bed, attempting to take off his jacket without standing, when a knock came at the door, Hayner. "Come in." Sora said, his voice muffled by a pillow that had landed on his face.

Hayner walked in, raised an eyebrow at Sora's position, "Uhm, Master Kayaki? Do you need help?" Sora gave him a sarcastic look, Hayner laughed then came to the bed, helped Sora up and took his coat. Walking to the closet to hang the coat up, Hayner said, "I was sent by Cloud to inform you that Sir Sephiroth's pack are wreaking havoc on floor three. There might not be any stable living space when they are through."

Sora groaned, "Whatever. Just leave them, attend to their petty needs and leave me alone about it."

Hayner nodded and bowed. Walking to the door, he went to open it, when it burst open and smacked him in the face, Roxas strode in and gave the bleeding Hayner only a passing glance. "Sora! Get that freaking Xion to leave me the hell alone!" he yelled as Cloud strode in after him.

"Roxas! What the hell?" Cloud yelled, kneeling down beside Hayner, who was still on the floor, petrified and holding his face with both hands. As Cloud inquired Hayner about his wellbeing, two more human servants walked in with complaints. Sora tried to listen to the servants reports and Roxas yell all at once when in ran Tifa, Zexion, Marluxia and Demyx all with complaints of their own. Demyx supporting a broken sitar and Yuffie, a large chipped shuriken. Zexion had a bloody nose as did Marluxia.

Sora sat perched on the edge of his bed, his face getting darker and darker. Finally Sora had enough, jumping off the bed, he burst out, "OKAY EVERYONE! GET OUT!" The human, witches and vampires all froze and stared. He crackled energy and his fangs were almost fully out. His eyes flashed red, and they all ran, slamming his door shut behind them. All except Cloud. Whom sat perched on Sora's wheely chair, eyebrow raised. "What." Sora asked him darkly.

Cloud snickered. "Having fun?"

Sora laughed dramatically, retracting his fangs, "Is that supposed to be funny?"

"Nope." Sora looked at him, Cloud gave Sora a look full of pity, "I can get you one night. Go do whatever. Just stay hidden. Then tomorrow I expect you to do your job. You can deal with the consequences tomorrow." He smiled, "Run."

Sora's eyes widened, and without another word he was out the door, sprinting down the hallway to the elevator.

Where are we going?

Sora grinned, his hair whipped around his face, The observatory.
