Final Fate Forever
Chapter 11
As midnight fell, two evil laughs could be heard in a remote area of town. They walked down the streets, the lights bouncing off their pale skin. One was wearing a seductive black dress, while the male wore his usual gray jacket. Her hair had changed once again; she'd used her powers to color it a dark blue. A Chinese man walked down the street unaccompanied, he appeared to be coming from a training session as he was still in his gi. A black belt around his waist as he closed his duffel bag.
"Ooh, a fighter," Venas grinned evilly. "This one's mine…"
"Who are you?" the male asked as she approached him with a smirk on her lips.
"Now, is that any way to address a lady?" she pouted mockingly.
"I sense iniquity, corruptness," he said.
"Really? Well, I've got news for you, karate kid," she smirked, baring her fangs, "you're right."
He dropped into a fighting stance, never before having faced an enemy such as this, but fairly confident of his abilities. Using her new sorceress powers, Venas hovered slightly in the air, her silk outfit waving in the slight breeze.
"Don't get cocky," Seifer snickered.
"If you think this is cocky, just wait," she chuckled and pounced at the man. He managed to dodge out of the way, a spider web of cracks appeared where he had just been standing. Venas stayed in a crouching position, ready to attack suddenly, watching him with glimmering honey eyes. The light bouncing off her golden hues made it appear almost as if she were possessed.
"Oh, too slow," the male teased her.
"Come on, pretty boy, let's see what you got," she leapt at him again. After several attempt of pouncing at the black belt, Venas was still unable to catch him. Her weakened body from the sunlight she'd received earlier in the day was slowing her down. Finally, Seifer appeared behind the man and grasped his shoulder and head, sinking his teeth into his neck.
"You took too long," he said, dropping the male's body like a sack of potatoes. His lifeless corpse lay sprawled on the ground, the two vampires paying no heed to him.
"Seifer, that was my kill! You already had one," she hissed and pointed to herself, "me!"
"You want the blood?" he raised an eyebrow and sauntered over to her.
"Damn straight, that was my drink, and I'm still thirsty," she chastised. "I want it back," she smirked and grasped the back of his neck, pressing her lips against his and took in the remaining blood. Teasing him for a few more moments, Venas allowed herself to indulge in the kiss. Pushing off him, she licked the blood from her lips and snickered as she jumped atop the roof of a building. After a few minutes of shock, Seifer growled and followed in suit.
"Next meal is mine," she looked down on the city, trying to spot possible victims. She watched as the people below walked about their daily lives, never realizing the danger they were in, so innocent… naïve. Normal, is what they were, not a care in the world, most were deadbeat drunks wandering around aimlessly. "Fools… they're all so boring," she glared at them.
"Boring?" Seifer inquired.
"Let's make it a little more interesting," she smirked sinfully, producing a fireball in her hand. As it hovered a few centimeters from her palm, the amber glow painted her face with a false orange hue. It gave her a child like appearance, but more of a fraudulent child rather than an innocent one.
Tossing the flame orb into the small crowd, she watched as chaos broke out. The small flame erupted into a conflagration among the city. Both dark figures plunged down into the inferno and sneered as chaos exploded into pandemonium in a matter of seconds. Their satirical fangs immediately punctured any helpless civilian who got within arms length of either being.
Licking the lingering blood from their incisors, the vampires were only able to enjoy their moments as a few of their acquaintances appeared. They slowly turned around when they heard their names from within the screams and slurs of the panicking residents.
There stood Squall, Zell, Rinoa and Desiray; they couldn't make sense of the situation as both Seifer and Venas seemed unsettling calmness around them considering the disorder surrounding them.
"More toys," Venas smirked.
"What the hell is wrong with you two? Stop this stupidity now and put out the fires," Zell shouted. Venas waved a hand and immediately they were showered with a downpour of rain.
"He's feisty," she smiled, "can I play with him?"
"That's not what I had in mind," Zell said, not hearing her last comment above the pounding rainfall. Venas's clothes were sticking to her skin; her hair matted her pale face giving her a dead look. She bared her fangs and chuckled evilly as she approached Zell, who was unaware of the danger he was in.
"Watch out!" Rinoa cried as Venas leapt at him. Barely managing to get out of the way, he stared at her quizzically as she crawled on the floor towards him. The three others advanced on her causing her to hiss at them, keeping them at a safe distance.
"What's wrong with you?" Squall inquired.
"Nothing, I'm perfectly all right, now come here you," she jumped at Zell once more, this time being able to catch him. As she moved forward to sink her teeth into his flesh, the silver cross necklace he was wearing pressed against her shoulder, burning her. She cried out in pain and recoiled, clutching her shoulder which now had an impression of a cross on it.
"Stay away from it," Seifer hissed, glaring at Zell.
"This isn't over," Venas warned. Both dark figures disappeared in a puff of smoke accompanied by a swarm of bats.
"Does anyone else have a bad feeling about this?" Desiray asked.
~*~
"This is way beyond weird," Rinoa sighed as they re-entered Balamb Garden.
"Not really," Desiray muttered as she typed in a few codes into her gauntlet. Everyone turned around to face her, not really understanding what she meant. "I noticed the bite marks on their necks, Seifer's seemed smaller than Venas's. He must've been bitten by a vampire bat and then bit Venas afterwards. That's why they're acting so strangely, they're vamps," she explained.
"Is there a cure?" Zell asked, recalling the close encounter he'd had with Venas and rubbed his neck.
"Not one for they're severity," she said, still typing in commands, "but I can probably produce one, all I need is a sample of their blood."
"Well, Venas has some dirty clothes that has some blood on it from that sting," Rinoa said.
"I don't think we'll have a problem finding Seifer's blood from training," Zell informed them.
"All right, let's get those samples then," Desiray commanded.
~*~
"You should have been more careful," Seifer growled at her as they stormed through the hallways of the abandoned house. One would think that with all the harsh poundings they do to the house it's a miracle it hadn't fallen apart yet.
"How much more careful would you have liked me to be? Would you have liked me to not gone for him at all?" She snapped and opened the door to her room.
"Don't tell me you didn't see the cross, because the chain was huge!" he yelled at her. She spun around on her heel, holding the door in one hand and supporting her weight on the frame.
"Stay out of my room," she said simply and slammed the door in his face. She flopped down on her bed and let out an exasperated sigh. Crawling under her covers, she lay there and waited for nightfall to return. The sun risen while they were still outside and they barely had managed to make it back inside the house before they were burnt down to a pile of ashes.
"This is going to be a long day," she said to herself.
~*~
"Alright, now we've just got to find them and bring them back here for the administration," Squall ordered as they started their search of the vampires.
"This is not going to be easy," Desiray rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she'd stayed up all night developing the remedy for the two.
"Okay, so who's ordering the pizza?"
