Oh, Dark Night
Chapter 7: Adjusting to a New Life
Quatre was not adjusting to the changes as well as everyone had hoped, he wouldn't drink. Quatre would refuse, and fight against it. It had now been seven days, Quatre hated Duo completely for a while, but had forgiven his friend when explained what would have occurred had Duo let him die.
Dmitri now stepped into the room where Quatre lay, starring up at the sky, he had been this way for forty- eight hours, never stirring, and crying blood- tears. They could all tell that Quatre was a strong vampire, however his big heart would be the most dangerous thing against him. Dmitri held the flute that the blonde had given him, and he played. A while later, Armand joined him, and he sang with Dmitri's playing. When finished, Dmitri turned to Armand. "He'll be fine.", Armand paused, "Heero has gone out to bring him blood.",
"We've tried that.", Dmitri said.
"In vials, yes, in flesh, no.", Armand responded.
"So he plans on toying with Quatre's thirst?", Dmitri asked.
"It is only to save him.", Armand answered.
"Yes, only to save him from himself.", Heero said from behind Armand, "It is an evil, filthy being as well.",
Quatre was weak, his throat aching for blood, but he fought it, this curse, this plague that threatened to swallow him whole. He saw something in front, it was only Heero attempting to force Quatre to drink from the vial again, he fought it and won. Then there was a small glint in Heero's eyes as though taking on some dare. Quatre closed his eyes, he smelt it first, deep inside a being, the blood still warm, and fresh, and living. Living, as he had once been. He fought later, Armand joined him, and he sang with Dmitri's playing. When finished, Dmitri turned to Armand. "He'll be fine.", Armand paused, "Heero has gone out to bring him blood.",
"We've tried that.", Dmitri said.
"In vials, yes, in flesh, no.", Armand responded.
"So he plans on toying with Quatre's thirst?", Dmitri asked.
"It is only to save him.", Armand answered.
"Yes, only to save him from himself.", Heero said from behind Armand, "It is an evil, it but so tempting, so tempting. Finally, exhausted , Quatre fought no longer, and bit, tearing the flesh open with virtuosity. It was sweet, and the thoughts passed through his mind, as though he had lived them. Quatre was finally torn from his meal by something, and as realization took him, Quatre stepped back from the girl's dead, and torn corpse. He let out a gasp of shock, and started to tremble. It smelled, and bad, he backed up further, bumping into Heero, who had turned to leave the room.
Then someone, Quatre did not know who, had finally taking the corpse out of the room, to be buried outside. Quatre looked around himself, now fully aware of his surroundings. He looked at Trowa, who had allowed his hair to grow out, and now looked different. "It is okay Quatre, you needed to drink.", he said.
"That gave me the right to kill?", Quatre asked.
"No, it was her own blackened soul that did.", Trowa said calmly.
Then, another entered the room. His hair was blonde, and he had blue eyes however, they held something icy in their depths. "Hello, Quatre, Dmitri.", he greeted, kissing Dmitri first, taking a small bit of his blood, then before Quatre could react, he kissed him, letting Trowa's blood flow into his mouth, "Glad to see you are better."
Quatre then knew that voice, so soothing, and calm, it was the voice who had soothed him when he had died. Quatre felt better knowing that he was here as well.
Duo sat a lone, until Lestat came to sit beside him, Duo did not stir, he just sat. The building he stared at looked abandoned but he knew better. It was a new covenant, however it was evil, they killed thousands of humans that they did not need. Lestat talked then, "They are dirty, even for vampires.",
"Yes, that is why I will kill them all.", Duo said
"You are strong, maybe as strong as I am, but not strong enough to keep from burning.", Lestat stated.
"I will go, and I will stop all evil vampires from destroying the world of peace that I gave my mortal life to keep.
"Have it your way, I can see how alike you, and I are. We both just jump in head first, and what was it you called yourself?", Lestat turned awaiting the answer.
"Shinigami, or God of Death.", Duo said.
"We're too similar. I'll help you with this task.", Lestat said.
"Thank you, Lestat.", Duo said, then stood up, he had learned how to fly already, so he did he flew back to Marius's place.
Quatre sat there, he had been explained the difference between innocents, what he had been, and evils. However, he followed Trowa, and only took the small drink of blood from prostitutes. He had fully forgiven Duo after experiencing the type of thirst he had been fighting against when he decided to drink from Quatre. Duo was not planning on draining him completely, but he had on accident. For the longest time Duo had blamed himself, threatening to burn himself to cinders. Then the second thought came to Quatre, he still had feelings, and he still dreamed. Marius had told him that him being a vampire merely made his love for all things stronger. Quatre had found this to be true, his friendship to Trowa, Heero, and yes even Duo were stronger. Not only had he made these relationships stronger, but had made new ones, with Lestat, Marius, and Armand. He had been thinking this all over while playing his violin. Lestat stepped into the room, "Nice playing. Would you mind?",
"You play?", Quatre asked, "Yes, however mine was ages old, and sort of.... Fell apart.", Lestat said thinking, under someone's foot...
Quatre's mind seemed to flow like a river, calmly, carefully, and wisely choosing his course. Lestat was able to use this to play a new song, using the notes that Quatre unknowingly gave him. Quatre seemed to enjoy it only because it was his soul's song. However Lestat drew to a close, he looked at Quatre who stood looking at Lestat with his large turquoise eyes. He was a child of the sea, and would always remain loving, and happy, and hopefully as innocent as possible.
End Chapter 6: The next chapter, Wufei, and Milliardo make an entrance. Also, I prove Duo is not evil, just the one to make big mistakes. (Mainly because, like Lestat, he does not listen to Marius a whole lot.)
