Chapter Six

I instantly liked this Charity. She was so different from my
people, yet she was still so likeable. I was still naive about the world
at the time, you see. I did not know how easy it could be to share beliefs
different from eachother, yet still be friends. And there was a bond
between us.. I felt it. It was not like the bond that held Endymion and I
together... it was different. But it was still there, nevertheless. I decided
to put it to the back of my mind until Endymion and I spoke later today.
When I did arrive back at our rooms, the first thing I spoke of
was of the bond. Endymion did not seem surprised by it, but instead
brushed back a strand of my hair, smiling down at me.
"It is nothing to be scared of, nothing to be concerned about.
The only thing that I can say is that it is one of your talents. You can sense
bonds of any nature. Bonds of friendship, love, hatred, servitude.. anything.
It will be a tangilbe thing for you, something that you can manipulate."
I turned my head to the side, the phrasing of his words catching
me off guard. "Manipulate?" I asked softly. That didn't sound quite right to
me.
He nodded solemnly. "Yes. If you so choose, you can sever a
bond, much like someone would break ties to a family or faith. You can
actually snap the bond in your mental hands, severing all ties, and erasing
the memories of you that went with it."
I swallowed uneasily. It sounded horrible in some ways, but I
knew that it could serve me well in the future when I needed to escape. For
if there was ever a bond of servitude, or being trapped in any form, I could
break that bond as well, and would be free.
Endymion didn't let my thoughts trails on that for too long, for he
drew me into his embrace, and I drank in his presence around me, and
relaxed into sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the sun was beginning to set, and
I realized that I slept a good portion of the day away. I looked up to see my
love sleeping beside me, and I was struck by a deep feeling of tenderness.
That this man and I were to be together forever. I brushed his hair gently out
of his eyes, and just watched him sleep. He looked so peaceful... his haunting
eyes shut now, so that it was as if nothing ever happened to him.. that he
was still living his life that had started so very long ago.
He opened his eyes sleepily, though, and my observence of him
was cut short this time. He smiled up at me, and one hand reached up to
tenderly trace the outline of my jaw. I closed my eyes and leaned into his
hand, and when I opened them again, he was propped up aganist the pillows,
and his eyes were serious.
"Serenity, I have to speak to you of something very important... it
involves your town..."
He didn't have to say anymore, for I was anticipating this moment.
I wondered what news he could have received in such a short time. How
could anyone made it to this town when they themselves only arrived a few
days ago? Endymion watched the emotions fly by her face, and he sighed,
pulling her close to him again, lips aganist her hair.
"It's not that, Serenity. This will be hard for me to say, and probably hard
for you to accept. The epidemic that went through your village; that was not a
planned thing. Nobody wants their loved ones to die. But the village had spent
a long time planning the end of you and your mother; they made sure that you
would be outcasted, so that when it came time to point the finger for something,
the finger would point to your family. The thing is, Serenity it was your father
who set the town upon you in the first place... and your father lives in this
village now."
I stared at him with shock. My father? The one who had left my
mother so long ago? He was the one? I closed my eyes in denial, although
I knew that Endymion was indeed telling the truth. I wasn't sure what to make
of the news, though.
"Yes, he is here now. You need to get rid of him. Before he knows
that you are here, and finds out what you have become." His eyes fixed on
mine intently, and I cowered from the heat in his gaze. He looked as if he
could tear me apart, piece by piece. What happened to the more gentle
Endymion that I knew?
He suddenly grinned at me, and I saw the hunger in that gaze. "Only
for you will the darker nature not show. Remember, Serenity... this life that
you have chosen will not be all light. There will be periods of darkness that you
never dreamed of. You must embrace that darker side of you before it
engulfs you."
I backed away slightly, scared at this new side of Endymion. He
expected me to embrace an cold-hearted aspect of the world? I felt my
eyes fill with tears,and looked up into Endymion's eyes, sure that he would
comfort me as he did before. He did no such thing. He turned away and
seemed to vanish from my sight.
I closed my eyes and traced him, though. He could not hide
from me so easily. I would not give him up just because of the truth he
had told me. I let myself travel into the space between to where he was,
and was met by totally different scenery, and an Endymion who was telling
me to be quiet without any words or warning. I heeded him, though, and
turned my eyes to the scene before me.
It was dark here. There were people roaming around, but I
saw one of our kind as well. He looked pale, haggard, as if he was the
true embodiment of what vampires were painted to be.
I looked up, asking what was wrong, trying to let my eyes,
my mind ask the questions that my lips would not.
"This is what happens when you don't feed. When you think
that your life is a curse, where you deny yourself lifeblood. Where you
cower in front of humans instead of them fearing you."
"Fearing us?" Endymion nodded. "For some, we are the dark
god, or goddess. We can end suffering to those who wish it. Those who
seek to harm us would feel the wrath of our race. This one did not. She
hates her life. Although I do not blame her. She came onto this path
unwillingly. She was forced by our darker enemies."
This was the first I heard of them. Who were they? I never
got to answer the question, for the girl whom we had been observing was
suddenly right next to us, quicker than lightning.
"Who are you? Why do you trespass on my Master's land?"
Her eyes were shining a bright green color, and they were fixed on us
with intent. Intent to kill, or just to make us leave, I was not sure, but her
fangs flashed, and I almost backed away from her, if it were not for
Endymion's earlier words flashing through my mind. About the weak.
I stood my ground, and glared at her, feeling a power rise around me.
Indeed, I felt a wind arise from within me, and the stranger backed away
slightly.
"I mean no harm to you. My master will kill you, though, if she
knows that you are here. Please leave. You are not of this realm, of this
time. Go back to your own time, and wait for the day when you are ready
to face her. I trust in you. Remember my name, though. It is Leda."
I nodded, and my power transported Endymion and I back
to the inn room, just in time to hear someone banging on the door.
