Oh, Dark Night
Chapter 3: Trowa's Death
"How do you like it Dmitri?", Armand whispered in his ear using the magic of vampires.
"It's just as I wished I would die.", Dmitri replied.
The fake image of Trowa's limp body in a casket was an interesting site. Duo pointed at it, swearing it moved. "Trowa was not normal I tell you...", he kept telling Heero, "Too quiet."
Quatre was crying, the most innocent, and pure. Dmitri remembered first meeting him, how sweet the blood under the skin smelled. The only barrier that stopped him from feasting on the blonde one was the violin, and that was all that could prevent it.
"I still do not see why you wanted to watch your own funeral.", Armand stated, this time through thought, not speech.
"To see how they react, to take in the emotions.", Dmitri stated.
Duo continued to talk about how he swore Trowa was not normal, and that he probably was not really dead. Getting too close to the truth, Dmitri thought. "Baka's getting too close to the truth Armand, go ask Uncle Marius for a suggestion.", Dmitri said, also through thought.
Armand moved, unnoticed to another, in the corner also unnoticed.
"Duo, you watch too many movies. What do you think he was a zombie?", Heero grabbed the braid.
"No, a vampire. He acted funny.", Duo stated taking his braid.
"Yeah. Sure Duo.",
"I've never seen those two...", Milliardo interrupted gesturing to Dmitri, and Armand.
"They must be people Trowa knew.", Heero said shrugging.
Back with Dmitri... "He said to make him one of us.", Armand told Dmitri.
"You'll be the one to drain his blood, won't you?",
Armand nodded, taking out a small bottle of alcohol, "We need to have him unaware as to what is happening to himself."
So at the afterglow they spiked the punch. Heero took a cup of it and sniffed, because he never drinks he could smell alcohol in the drink. Duo was too drunk to drive home, so to Heero's relief a couple of nice guys promised to drive him home.
Armand sat in back with the young boy. Gently he caressed Duo's neck with his mouth, then bit. He drank allowing the boys thoughts to himself, letting the heart assist in bringing the blood to his mouth. When Duo's heart was a beat away from death, Armand stopped, tearing his own wrist, and pressed it to Duo's lips. "Drink.", Armand commanded.
Duo blindly drank, realizing too soon what it was he was drinking. It tastes sweet, Duo thought. Finally, Armand let his arm pull away from the young boy. "You should not have tried to figure it out, Duo.", Dmitri stated.
A few miles later they left the car, and walked, meeting with Marius. "Uncle Marius, what happens to him now?", Dmitri asked.
"He feeds before his physical death.", Marius produced a young woman, or an evil for Duo to kill.
Duo carefully got up, and killed the bitch, drinking realizing that he had two fine fangs which dug into the throat. The blood was good, too good, but Duo did not care. He was too weak too.
Heero had not seen Duo since the funeral, and wondered what had happened to him. He just vanished without a trace, and no one knew why. Quatre swore he saw Duo outside his window. However when opening it, he found no one.
Duo never asked for this, but it sure beat the hell out of dyeing old. He laid on the fine bed, three figures over him, one spoke reassuring words. Duo could feel all in himself slipping away, each had stole his blood, forcing him to try to get it back. He felt.... Like he was dyeing as he was. Duo groaned, why him? Why did they want him? Was he right about Trowa? He felt all leave him, one picked him up, as though he were nothing. Duo felt warm water cover his body and he was bathed, then laid in another bed. Duo slept, unable to move.
The next night Duo woke up, feeling like his old self, only stronger. Dmitri stood before him, "Good evening, Duo."
He knew that voice, those eyes, it was Trowa! So he had been right, and they made him one of themselves in order to hold their secret. Another with long blonde hair laughed, he was dressed in expensive clothing. "Keep your thoughts closed, Duo", he said.
"How do you know my name?", Duo asked.
"I read your thoughts.", he replied, "For you are not my fledgling."
"Uncle Marius quit teasing him.", Dmitri replied.
"Trowa?", Duo wondered.
"Yes, and to your thoughts, yes Duo that is why.", Dmitri nodded.
"You did this to me?", Duo asked.
"If I had not, we would be under threat. Now, you need to hunt.", Dmitri made a gesture to the door, "Marius will take you."
Duo was amazed by all he could do, all Marius did was nod, and encourage Duo to explore further. He told Duo that they only killed evil doers, and no one else. Fire or decapitation was the only death for them.
So, Duo began his immortality, and soon two more would follow.....
