Chapter 25 part 1. Can Wishes Come True?

"We're back," Matthew chirped again as he came through the door followed instantly by Francis. The two of them were commented by a trunk that they held by heavy round handles that were on the trunks sides.

Looking at the three on the sofas the smile that painted Matthew's face melted away especially when he looked at Gilbert who had his face cupped in his hands, His shoulders were slumped and he was leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. Then taking in the wrecked state of the apartment around them Matthew asked "what happened?"

He dropped his end of the trunk and jogged the short distance over to sit by Gilbert's side. When he didn't answer Matthew wrapped an arm around his shoulders gently and asked again "Gil… what happened?" When he still didn't answer Matthew turned to look at Alfred for answers.

"Mattie…" Alfred looked over at Gilbert, the guy was already feeling like crap and he didn't want to make it worse by causing Matthew to hate him but he also knew his brother needed to hear about what really happened to their dad. "… I gotta tell you about what happened to dad."

"Wait!"

Alfred looked at Gilbert who stud and with a sigh continued "I'll tell him."

Taking his hand lightly he pulled Matthew to his feet and led him passed Francis towards the door. Matthew looked over his shoulder at his brother one last time with a look that said 'what's going on' before the door shut behind him.

Francis looked from the door to Alfred and drawing in a gaged breath stormed up to his son. "What in the name of god is going on?"

"Dad… well I talked to dad in my dream and he… told me that Gilbert's brother was the one that killed him."

Francis stumbled backwards slightly with a hand clenched befre his mouth. He sat down beside his son and summoning all his strength to stay calm and not let his tears loose at the knowledge of how the man he loved had met his to soon an end he asked "how?"

"…It wasn't too painful, he had cast his soul into dreams just before so-"

"How?"

"…He threw him against a wall and… he broke a lot of bones and well… was crushed."

Francis sat there for a while letting the information sink in. after a while he turned to Ivan and said "This Ludwig! He's one of the vampires that came to the motel and took Matthew?"

Ivan nodded "да"

"Witch one?"

"Tall blonde German."

"I want him dead" Francis growled.

Alfred and Ivan looked at each other before Alfred began telling his dad about the earlier fight between Ivan and Ludwig and how he had got away. By the end Francis had gone silent again lost in his thoughts until he suddenly asked Ivan "When we see him again kill him but I want to be there when you do."

"Very well" Ivan agreed.

"IS IT TRUE?" everyone turned with wide eyes at Matthew came storming back into the room with tears in his eyes followed closely by Gilbert.

Alfred stood and Matthew threw his arms around him. Alfred mimicked his actions and hugged him back "I know man but I promise, we're gunna make him pay for what he did to dad." Gilbert curiously approached Matthew and gently placed his hand on his shoulder. Alfred's eyebrow rose when his brother shoved the hand away. Letting go of Alfred Matthew turned around to glare at Gilbert before making his way out the door. "What did you say to him?" Alfred asked.

"Nothing I just told him the truth about what happened… I'll go after him."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?"

Gilbert shrugged "you got a better one?"

Alfred shrugged back in reply and, taking that as a no, Gilbert made his way after Matthew. After the door shut leaving Alfred, Ivan, and Francis alone again.

"…Well should we start looking through this thing?" Alfred said as he kicked the trunk with his foot. It was the only thing they could do at the moment so taking the key from his pocket Francis unlocked the trunk. After letting the dust that rose from it settle they all took out one of the many different books and began the search for anything useful.

After about an hour and a half they had gone through three photo albums, five spell books, two demonology records, and three journals. They were all beginning to grow tired and frustrated when Matthew and Gilbert re-entered the apartment.

"Hey," Alfred waved "You two ok now?"

Matthew and Gilbert looked at each other and Matthew tried to hold back the smile from his blushing face. Gilbert just smirked and with a chuckle threw his arm around the smaller vampire's shoulders, "hehe yeah we're ok" he replied.

"Have you found anything?" asked Matthew as he sat on the love seat with Gilbert after picking up one of the photo albums.

With a shake of his head Alfred sighed "no" as he threw the journal he had just finished reading on the pile of others. "You haven't seen Mathis or Lukas have you?"

Gilbert shrugged and Matthew shook his head. "No but they were going down to the lake."

"Yeah, haha I bet they're-"

"Mon dieu I think I found something" Francis interrupted, putting the journal down on the top of the trunk, open at the page he had just been reading. Everyone leaned in close to get a good look at the pages and after reading the elegant writing the group turned to look at Ivan.

"Do you think this will work?" Alfred asked him.

Ivan shook his head "It may. This Lili may not be the same fairy I was told about but it says here she did manage to turn a vampire human."

"Let's read some more oui?" said Francis flipping to the next page.

-Dear diary I feel so happy. He is eating the soup I made and he's wearing the nightshirt I made him! The spell worked and I pray that we can be together now. Without his hunger for my blood, he no longer fears that he will kill me. I will say I was a little scared before but I'm not any more. I know Vash and I will be happy together.-

"What the hell" Alfred shouted shooting up out of his seat.

"That can't be possible," Francis mumbled.

"Why?" Ivan asked eyeing Alfred like he had gone mad.

Alfred geared at him "Vash Zwingli has been Mattie's Michelle's and my therapist since our dad…" he clenched his fists and sucked in a raged breath "died."

Picking up the journal and looking from Matthew to Alfred Francis asked "did he ever say anything about a Lili?"

Both Alfred and Matthew shook their heads at the same time.

Francis waved the journal in his hand "Well if I'm right this Lili is Arthur's great great aunt which would defiantly make her a fay. If Vash was a vampire I don't know… maybe we should talk to him."

"Ok" Alfred clapped his hands together "so I think we all agree something's up with the Doc and we'll get around to that but first can we please get back to turning him human. Is the spell she used in there?" He sat back down and snuggled against his side.

"…It is."

Alfred leaped into the air screaming yes yes yes. Ivan chuckled and stood. He wrapped his arms around Alfred's waist effectively keeping the boy grounded. "So let's do it, come on. What do we haft to do?"

Francis read through the next three pages of the journal before answering "the spell must be done by a fay or one with strong fay blood in them. The fay who casts the spell must also have a blood link with the vampire the spell is intended for."

"I think we got that covered" Alfred smiled up at Ivan.

"Ok we need… twelve blood red candles and we will need to draw this… pentagram thing on the ground with a mixture made of charcoal and the blood of the fay the vampire and a human. It says the candles are to be placed around it and the fairy and vampire stand in the middle of the whole thing and repeat the spell. That's all it says."

"Let's do it then" Alfred chirped.

"I'll find some candles" Ivan kissed him on the head before leaving the apartment.

After half an hour of searching the entire building for candles and charcoal and another hour of drawing the interact pentagram, with all its wording that no one could understand, they were finally done. Francis offered to give his blood in order the make the mixture for the pentagram as he was the only human present and Ivan and Alfred had added theirs to.

Ivan and Alfred stood in the middle of the pentagram, Alfred seemed to be more excited than Ivan about what was about to happen. He was grinning from ear to ear and was practically bouncing. "Calm down любить" Ivan smiled as he kissed him on the cheek.

"I can't wait." Alfred kissed back.

"Neither can I."

"Ok let's get on with it" Gilbert chirred with a clap of his hands.

"Why? You wanna try to?" Alfred giggled.

Giblet shrugged "… naah. Think I wanna stay this awesome looking a while longer."

Alfred turned to Mathew. "Your shore you wanna stay like this to?"

Mathew slowly inched closer to Gilbert and smiled "yeah I'm sure."

"We're ready" Francis said.

So they started.

"The hell!"

"любить calm down."

"No. how are you not pissed right now?!"

"I am. But pacing back and forth yelling is not helping."

Alfred sighed. "Yeah I know." he leaned his head on his lovers chest. "You've tired yourself out."

"I'm not, I'm fine. I wanna try again."

"No."

"Why?"

"Because you're going to sleep." Ivan picked him up bridle style and carried him up to the bed. "We can try again latter. You almost collapsed the last time. I won't risk you hurting yourself for this."

Alfred pouted "you're lucky I love you."

Ivan kissed him softly "я тебя люблю, чтобы."

"Sleep with me?"

"Of course." Ivan crawled under the sheets beside Alfred and wrapped his arms around him. within ten minutes they were almost lost in sleep… and then-

"Shit Ivan wake up." Alfred had shot up and was shaking Ivan by his shoulders. "What? What is it?"

"You need to fall asleep with me."

"I was about to until you started shouting and shaking me."

Alfred blushed and his head fell "oh… right… sorry. I just had an idea."

"What?"

"Dad said you and me should fall asleep together and go back into dreams. You know the ballroom were we first met? We need to go there and open those big doors."

"The one I told you to open?"

"Yes."

"… Ok. Come back down here and be comfy." He pulled Alfred back into his arms and fell asleep to the feel of wheat gold hair tickling his nose.

"You're stepping on my feet" Ivan chuckled as the two of them danced to the music. "

"Hehe sorry." Alfred leaned up on his tiptoes and kissed him.

"Shall we do it now or do you want to keep dance?"

"Dude I suck at this dancing. But if ya want we could 'do it' here another time." He smirked suggestively at the vampire.

"Don't tempt me."

"Hehe, but it's fun tempting you."

"Minx."

"Shut up." Alfred playfully punched his chest. Taking his hand, Ivan led him through the crowd of dancers to the doors.

"What do you think is behind them?"

"I don't know… but…"

"What?"

"I'm scared."

Ivan cupped his face in his hands and pressed their lips together passionately. "I will be right here with you. I will always be here with you. You don't have to be scared."

"Thanks… ok let's do it." Alfred pulled away from Ivan's hands and gripped the large door handles. "If I end up freeing some freaky monster like from Hellraiser I'm blaming you" he joked.

"Don't be afraid my Tinkerbelle I'll protect you."

"Smart ass." The strange feeling he had felt before when he'd taken hold of the door handles came flooding over him. He gulped down the lump that was forming in his throat and took one last look at Ivan. "Love you."

"I love you too."

Taking a deep breath and readying himself as best he could, Alfred pulled the heavy doors open and before he could talk himself out of it, dashed inside.

The doors slammed shut behind him. Panicked, Ivan pulled on the handles and banged furiously on the wood calling Alfred's name. Hating himself for it he finally gave up and rested his hands and fists against the wood. It was only then he noticed the music had stopped. Turning around he saw all the dancers had were looking at the doors behind him. One by one they began to disappear as did the flowers and other decorations in the room. Things went dark as the light eventually faded as well. Ivan thought back to that time he had attacked Alfred in the sunflower fields and the way that dream had ended. He didn't what to go through that again. Falling to his knees he willed himself to wake up over and over again as the last remains of the grand room disappeared and there was nothing but him and endless darkness.
