-The Starless Night- Part 4

The Night of Revealing
Wufei woke up in the same bed the next morning. He looked at the old clock on the wall. 8 p.m. He looked around himself, making sure that there was no cruel illusion that haunted him. He decided to get up and try to find someone around here, but as soon as he stepped outside his door...
##The vision of Zechs Marquise guiding 'him' to stand before a large door, saying:
"Aren't you going to come in? I have something for you in here"##
The huge bedroom that was illuminated with over a hundred candles, a large four pillar bed with a blanket made of smooth fabric, a brown oak frame mirror with the clear reflection of himself, thick soft carpet under his feet and red roses were everywhere...
Wufei couldn't help admiring the beauty. He lowered his head to inhale the scent from the roses, smiling at the smooth fragrance. He turned to look around, but a pair of strong arms were holding him from behind. He was startled and tried to get away from the embrace.
"Mr. Marquise?, I'm sorry that I snooped around you property, but... er, please unhand me."
"I told you not to call me that, right?"
"Ha, yes, Zechs, but please let go off me." He had to get away now or this man was going to see his flushed face.
"Maybe not yet..." Zechs said, turning the smaller boy by his shoulders so he could face him. He noticed that Wufei was blushing. "Do you have something you want to ask me?"
Now Wufei was facing the blond. He wore only a bathrobe. He forced himself to tear his eyes from staring and imaging something under the material. There were so many questions he wanted to ask; 'Who are you?' and 'What are these illusions?'
"Illusions? Yes, you could call them 'illusions'. But it would be better if you called them 'memories'. " Zechs looked directly into Wufei's black eyes. They are the same eyes that he used to dream of.
'What? I didn't say anything...Can this man read my mind?' he frowned at Zechs' words, but didn't say it out loud.
"Yes, I can read your mind." He leaned closer the to black haired boy's lips, but still maintained the gap between them.
"What?!"
"You may have heard I'm an eccentric person..."
"Yes, but not a freak!!!"
He tried to escape from this taller man's grip once again, but still failed. Zechs was far stronger than himself, so he gave up and asked;
"What did you mean by calling them 'memories'? "
"All that you saw are your memories of being here. You used to stay here, with me."
"Here? With you? But I've never met you before."
"You did; 300 years ago."
"God, you must be crazy. Get me out of here!" he says in a half disbelieving voice. 'It could be possible', he thought. 'If not, why did I see so many of the rooms in this castle?' But he needed more reliable facts. 'No one could live that long...could they?'
"Do you want me to prove it? Do you want me to prove that you used to stay here and love me?"
Wufei's heart was pounding like a drum at the word 'Love', but before he could get any air, Zechs bridged the distance between them with a soft kiss. After a long minute of waiting, the blond noble caressed Wufei's lips with his demanding tongue. Wufei began to understand when he realized that he could remember that sweet stroke, his heart was aching like it wanted to tell him something. When Wufei ran out of breath, Zechs released him, but it was Wufei's arms that still clung to his neck...
"Tell me, please; tell me why I love you..." he said, small drops of tears escaping from his eyes. Even he himself didn't know why...
That's all he wanted to hear. He smiled and said "Close your eyes, my love, and listen to me carefully" Wufei complied and felt Zechs' warm embrace around his waist and shoulders, and the light whisper on his ear..
Wufei can feel his consciousness was flying away from his body, weightless and wondering in the dark...
"Do you remember now? You died for me, and was reborn again, just to find me"
##Sky? The thick leaves...am I under the tree? But there are no stars at all...not even the moon...
Shouting? What are those people around me saying? Who are they? Why have they tied my wrists and neck!?... No! My heart, why does it hurt so much? Am...am I crying?
'Zechs, I love you. I wanted to see you just one more time; to say I'm sorry...but it was too late.. please, Zechs, will you miss me?..'##
"For me, I inherited an evil curse and lived in deadly sin and agony, just to see you"
##Zechs Marquise is standing before 'The Holy Statue' of his family, held shining metal kris in one hand and placed its blade on his other wrist. His eyes flooded with tears but were blank in expression. He is staring into the eyes of the statue, asking it to listen to his plea...
'Zechs, what are you doing? You're bleeding...No! Drop that kris!... No!..'##
Wufei slowly opened his eyes to meet the object of his love, knowing that all of his life was nothing compared to this moment.
"God, Zechs; I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that I broke our promise. I just wanted to tell you this..."
"Yes, our promise of living with, growing old and loving each other till death tear us apart. But you didn't break it, my angel. You kept our promise...you loved me until your last breath."
"Did you miss me, Zechs? Tell me that you missed me..."
"Every day and every night, my love...Nobody knows what it feels like..."
And they caressed each other, kissed each other, created their firey touch and didn't care at all if the sky is going to fall on them...
"Tell me this is real. Tell me you aren't an illusion" the Chinese boy said, cuddling into his lover's neck and long blond hair.
"I'm right here, my love. Does this feel like an illusion?", Zechs brush Wufei's cheek gently and kissed him passionately. His lips tasted like sweet ambrosia. He could never get enough of this feeling...When they broke apart from their kiss, Wufei tightened his embrace.
"Tell me you're not gonna fade like the wind and leave me alone again..."
Zechs' smile was replaced with his lover's lips once more, his hand caressing Wufei's silk black hair before the sadness appeared on his face.
"...I'm sorry, my love, even though I wish this moment would last forever, but..." Zechs began.
"But what...?"
"My time is running out. This is the price I have to pay, and Death wouldn't let me go."
"No, what do you mean by that..."
"It's the rules of the darkness; I inherited the dark curse to be immortal. In repay I must gave him an offering...but I didn't..."
"Why? What is the offering?..."
"Blood, my love, human blood." Zechs guided his lover off the bed to the large window. "My family 'The Marquises' made contact with the darknesss and all of them became vampires. After the 'ceremony of acceptation', we must take the blood from a human body in the name of Death. But since I was 'accepted' from over 300 years ago, the only blood that I have taken is my own blood...and it's not even human blood..."
Wufei's eyes widen, feeling like he is falling from the sky, "Why..?"
"Remember that time when you used to be the doctor? I loved your tenderness and will to help people. You said slavery was nothing but the discrimination. You asked me to accept the Africans and treat them good, even though our neighbors tormented them. You said, 'Every life is equal, and every living thing should be treasured.' So, I vowed not to harm anyone and live my life on my own..."
"Zechs..." he can't find the words, realizing how much this man had done for him and that there was nothing he could do to repay him; nothing at all...
"Don't cry, my love. Every beginning has to end someday. And you already gave me your love and tenderness once again. It was worth waiting so long..." Zechs used his pale finger to wipe away those tears and drew him close.
"When will you leave, Zechs?" Wufei asked, but refused to look at the blond's eyes, knowing that he couldn't hide his sorrow.
"Maybe this dawn.." Zechs said. He can't believe that's his own voice, being so vulnerable...
"No, Zechs! Is there any other way?..." Wufei begs, shaking his head in protest, and hugging his lover tight.
"Look. The sun is rising; we can change nothing... " then, Zechs body begin to fade out like a sandcastle against a mild wave...
"No! Zechs, don't go...don't leave me..." Wufei cried, trying to hold him, but he lost his grip...
"Remember, my love, I love...you..."
Then the wind carried away his lover's faded body, no trace in the air that there was someone who used to stand there and kiss him. His whole body trembled from the sob. It's all over...
Wufei's down on his knees, breaking down and crying... 'How can God be so cruel? Why did he do this to me...Why?'
Then, a strange cold wind embraced him, and there was a whisper in his ear, saying...
"Find me when the darkest night rushes over you, meet me when the starless night shows you no mercy..."
