Blood 1/5
By: Hotaru
Warnings: vampires, 2x5 craziness! This is for my nee-chan GoD, and Azie!
He watched as the young blond walked through the park. The sun had just set and the sky was a pinkish orange. /Still to bright./ he thought, watching that blond hair sway from side to side. He jumped down from his perch on a tree and followed her. Her maroon skirt swayed along with her hair. Creamy white legs striding proudly as she walked through the park. And he continued to follow, unnoticed. The sky was completely black by then. Smirking, he walked directly in back of her. Reaching out his pale hand, he clasped it over her mouth.
He could almost hear the blood pumping through her veins speed up. "I promise I won't hurt you if you tell me the one thing I desire." The boy said from behind. The girl nodded. "Who is the girl with the chestnut braid?" the boy asked, removing his hand from her mouth just enough for her to speak. "I don't know." She said shakily. Sighing angrily, the boy moved his head towards the girls neck. "Wrong answer." He said quietly. The girl thrust her elbow into the boys stomach and ran as fast as she could. "Ooh I love a good chase." The boy quirked, following the girl.
She pulled a dagger-like knife from her pocket and continued to run through Central Park. [1] She ran up the stairs to the Shakespeirean Garden [2] and broke the latch to the door. "Silly girl." The boy remarked, watching her from outside the stain glass windows. She looked for a phone, but found nothing. The boy walked inside as he saw the girl run up the spiral stairs into a tower. He walked up the stairs slowly and heard her heavy breathing. He reached the top and was met with the tip of a knife. "Leave me alone!" the girl shouted. The boy advanced and stepped into the moonlight.
The girl noticed his asian features illuminated by the moonlight. His skin was deftly pale however. She stepped back to the window and thrust the knife forward again. "Leave me alone!" she sobbed. "I only want to find her. Why couldn't you tell me?" the boy asked. The girl gulped and felt the cold glass press against her back. "I told you! I don't know who she is! Please don't hurt me!" she pleaded. The boy smiled and showed his fangs. The girl dropped the knife and was putting all of her weight against the window. "Rah!" the boy hissed. The girl screamed and lunged backwards, and plunged out of the window and crashed to the ground.
Leaping out of the window, the boy smiled and drank every last drop of the girls blood before sealing her wounds with his own blood. Disappearing once more into the darkness, he would have to wait until the next night.
"In other news, another young girl is dead today after a vicious attack last night. Police say that Dorothy Catalonia, a student at a local highschool was attacked a short while after dusk last night. There are rumors she was pushed out of the tower window at the Shakesperian Gardens in Central Park."
"I can't believe what's been happening lately! Poor girl." Hilde Schbeiker exclaimed as she and her friend Duo Maxwell walked home from school. "Yeah. That really bites. I heard rumors that when doctors performed an autopsy that there was no blood left in her body." Duo replied. "That's creepy! Who would do such a terrible thing?" Hilde asked as they walked into a coffee shop. They sat at a booth and ordered a late lunch, early dinner. "Someone as been killed every night this week. I'm afraid of going out alone." Hilde said, looking out the window, shivering slighty.
Duo grinned and said, "Well you have me to protect you!" Hilde smiled and continued to look outside. "That's reassuring Duo but what happens when they drink all your blood?" she asked. "Drink all my blood? Who?" Duo asked, leaning towards Hilde slighty. Hilde turned to him and replied, "Oh..I guess I just assumed it was vampires that's all." Duo burst into laughted, making serveral patrons stare in their direction. "Shh! Duo I'm serious!!" Hilde hissed. Duo stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes. "Hilde, angel, dear…there is no such thing as vampires. This is probably some sicko who thinks he's a vampire so he goes and kills people to drink their blood." He said, in a vampiry voice.
They ate lunch then began to head home. "Why don't we take a detour through the park?" Hilde suggested. Duo rolled his eyes. "Hil, the train is right down the street. Why take a detour?" he asked. [3] Hilde grinned and pulled Duo into the park. "Cause it's a nice park and I want to! Plus, it'll be romantic." She said, taking Duo's arm. They walked through Central Park, past joggers in their bright neon clothes and dog walkers. Hilde led Duo up to the balcony in the Shakesperian Garden that looked across a huge lake and almost all of Central Park [4] "Isn't it lovely Duo?" Hilde asked. Duo nodded and turned to look at the medevil castle behind them. "We gotta come here more often." He said, taking in the semi-familiar sights.
Duo felt a slender arm slide around his neck. He giggled slightly. Hilde also felt an arm around hers. "Duo you smoothy." She whispered. Duo grinned and looked down at her. Her arms were crossed in front of her. /Holy shit./ Hilde looked over to see Duo's hands in his pockets. The arms around their necks tightened, and flipped them over onto the ground. "What the fuck?!" Duo yelped, wincing as his body slammed against the stone ground. "I've been waiting for you for a long, long time." A boy from behind said. Hilde squirmed to be free of the tight grip that was holding her down. "Duo—run!" she screamed, biting down on the boys arm. Duo leaped from the ground and ran down the winding wooden stairs. He tripped and rolled the rest of the way down.
The boy grabbed Hilde's hair and tilted her face to him. "That was a very silly move. Now I have to kill you." The boy said, preparing to sink his fangs deep into her flesh and relish in her sweet blood. "In your dreams creep!" Hilde spat, kicking the boy in the groins and running in the direction Duo had. "Duo—go go!" she yelled, finding Duo waiting by a stone bench. He took her hand and they continued to run, down the dirt hill, across the bench and out of the park. "Can we go to the train now please?!" Duo asked. Hilde hailed a cab and said, "I'd rather not. Seventy sixth and a hundreth street please." They sat in the back of the cab and sighed.
Once Hilde reached her apartment, safe and sound, Duo walked home as well. Every shadow he said looked evil and scary. He quickened his pace and didn't slow until he arrived home. "Mom? Dad?" he called out, kicking off his shoes by the door. /I guess they're not home. Great. Now vampire boy can get me./ He locked himself in his room and covered his head with head phones. He could only do his home work with the radio blasting. Hilde said it was a lie, but that's Duo Maxwell for ya!
Hilde sat in the kitchen, poring over text books and notes. Her parents left a note saying the went to dinner with the Maxwells and would be home late. :creak: Hilde dropped her pen and ran to the knife rack. The lights were turned off, leaving her in total darkness. "Oh no you don't." She froze as two arms reached around her body, grabbing both arms and holding them tightly. "L-Let me go!" she whispered. "Tell me what I want and I will." The boy behind her said, feeling her steady pulse against his fingers. "W-What do you want to know?" Hilde asked, trying to break from this boy's stone grip.
"You were with her…where is she now?" the boy asked, putting his nose to Hilde's neck and inhaling deeply. "He…I-I don't know!" Hilde exclaimed, squirming as she felt the boy's tongue run across her neck. "I think you do…why don't you tell me?" the boy said, pressing his fangs oh-so-gently into Hilde's neck. "Okay! It's Duo…Duo Maxwell. He lives a few blocks from here." She said weakly, growing faint from the loss of blood. "Mm..very good. I am grateful to you girl. I shall spare your life." The boy said, puncturing his finger and pressing it to her neck. He nearly hopped across invisible clouds and out of Hilde's apartment. /Duo…/ Hilde ran to the phone and dialed Duo's number.
Taking a break from homework, Duo sauntered into the kitchen and searched for a snack. Finding only fruits, which he didn't like too much, he settled on water. Holding the jug to his lips, he began to gulp down the cool, refreshing, two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. He noticed the red light on the answering maching blinking. He pressed the button and replaced the water. "Duo! Run! He's coming! Duo, are you there?! DUO!!? Please if you hear this, run away!! He's coming after you! Please!!" Duo turned as pale as a sheet. Not wasting another second, he ran to the front door, pulled on his boots and coat and ran outside. /Fuck, fuck, fuck! This is so not good!/
He ran past the South Street Seaport [5] to his friend, Quatre Winner's house. "Quatraaaaaa!! Open the door!!" Duo screamed, pounding his fists on the white door. The door opened to reveal wide eyed Quatre. "Duo what's wrong?!" Heero asked. Duo ran past him, into his bedroom and under the bed. "I gotta hide here Quat. He's after me!" Duo whispered. "Who is?" Quatre asked, looking under the bed. "The vampire guy! He chased me and Hilde in the park then followed us home!!" Duo hissed. Quatre rolled his eyes and went back to work. /Crazy baka…vampires? Heh, there's no such thing!/
