Chapter 2- So Many Questions.
"Let me see if I can comprehend what you have said."
Raziel spoke after Felicia tried to explain where he is. Raziel was quite until now, but suddenly his thoughts seemed dismay at her words.
"I am in a human city called New Anderny. This is NOT a kingdom, but a single place in a country you call... what again?"
"The United States of America. But you can also call it USA or just America."
"Right, right. You told me the year is 2002. Correct?"
"That's right."
"Then what has happened to all the Vampires that ruled here?"
"Excuse me?!"
Felicia asked not believing what this person was implying. She had just gotten over her fear of him, but now he tells her of more monsters that are nearby? And she thought she had a rough life to live until now.
"There are no such things as Vampires."
"Or really?"
He eyed her with those white eyes of his.
"Then how do you account for me?"
"I don't. I don't even know WHAT you are. By the looks of it, you look like a guy who's been starving to death..."
"Do NOT confuse me as a human!"
Raziel shouted, flexing the three claws that made his fingers on each hand in front of her to prove his point.
"I was once a Vampire, but after Kain sent me to the Abyss, I've become what you see now. A devourer of souls. Do NOT mistake me as one of your kind again!"
The blue blade extending from his right arm retracted and vanished, leaving only the blue ribbon to dance around the length of his arm. Felicia then decided to be bold enough to ask
"If you were a Vampire, then are you going to bite me and drink my blood?"
"No. I've long ago lost my desire for blood. Now I only crave the soul energy from my prey. Did you not see how I fed after the slaughter of that man?"
He asked, pointing to the person he severed in half only minutes ago.
"You're weak human eyes can not see the glow of souls, but it is what I must fed off of to survive."
"So, you are like a Vampire, but instead of blood, it's souls. That is very freaky."
She cringed at the thought of her dying and not going to the afterlife, but into some creature's stomach.
"Enough of this chatter of myself. Tell me where I may find your king."
"King? Sorry, we have no king."
"No King?? Then who rules you?"
"Other than the president, nobody that I know of, unless you include the Mayor."
This will be a difficult challenge for me indeed. If I know Kain, he will try to establish his empire. But where to start...
"Very well. Since you have no King..."
"Before you ask another question."
Felicia interrupted
"I would like to go home. It is getting chilly, and the sight of a dead body nearby is making my stomach churn."
"You are displeased with that? Then I shall take you to your grounds."
Raziel offered. He discovered that he was not himself lately. He wouldn't even think of escorting a Human back to her chambers. But this woman had information that he'll need about this land, and he wasn't in the mood of looking for another human to help him. As he extended his arm to take hers, she stepped back in refusal.
"N-No Thanks. I can get home by myself."
She said, but Raziel swayed his head from side to side.
"That is not wise. Not after what had happened. Would you rather have that event reoccur?"
Felicia then froze again. She realized he was right. There were more dangerous men out there in the city and she suddenly didn't feel like going alone. Raziel here may be some kind of horrible monster, but at least he was somebody.
"Alright Raziel, I'll let you tag along..."
Before she finished, Raziel had grabbed her and threw her onto his shoulder, with a yelp of surprise and fear, she expected him to do something to her other than to pick her up.
"Hey now! What are you...?"
She then looked down and saw what looked like tattered wings on his back.
Wings? He says he's a Vampire, but Vampires don't have wings do they?
Her thoughts were broken as she felt Raziel start to ascend, she looked over her shoulder to see Raziel stab his claws into the wall and scale it with little difficulty.
"This was unexpected."
"Believe me Felicia. This is faster. And I hope to avoid drawing attention from anyone else."
"If someone saw us now, you'd have their attentions."
Raziel said nothing but climbed up like he's done before meeting this girl. At the peak of the building, he gently placed her back on her feet. She was a bit dizzy from the experience of being carried straight up a four-story building, and her stance proved it. Raziel noticed, but made an effort not to show it.
"Where do you live?"
He asked rather suddenly. She scanned the area until she recognized the apartment building, which was several blocks away. She pointed a finger at the building and Raziel followed it.
"There. That one."
Again, she was suddenly thrown over his shoulder but this time, instead of climbing, she felt him run... at the edge of the roof.
"Raziel?! What are you..."
He jumped off the building
"..DDOOOOIIIIINNNNGGG!!??!?!?!?!?!"
She screamed when she suddenly felt air rush over her back as Raziel leapt. Without a word, Raziels wings expanded in front of her eyes and she felt herself gliding along as Raziel carried her. Instead of falling, he was nearly flying, but nonetheless, she tightly wrapped her arms around his neck (What was left of it under his cloak) for dear life. She had a fear of falling to her death, though she wasn't afraid of heights. But flying was another story. She HATED airplanes and would rather drive a car or take the bus to get where she wanted to go. Airsickness got to her as she tries to keep from vomiting all over Raziels back.
I can't believe this... I was literally sweated off my feet... But NOT by Prince Charming...
She managed to think as her mind began to melt under another serge of freight. She stared to believe this was going to be a long night.
Raziel reached the building and drove his claws into the wall. Again he climbed the wall until he was at the roof, and when he placed Felicia back onto her feet, he saw how pale her face had become.
"Did I frighten you Felicia?"
He asked. She nodded.
In more ways than one...
"I have brought you to your home."
He replied as she began to get color back into her cheeks.
"Thanks..."
She said weakly as she unsteadily made her way to the door that will take her to the floors beneath them. At first, she felt odd that a demon creature was following her to her home. Why couldn't it have been a dog or a cat? She shook her head at the dismay thought and continue to lead Raziel down the stairs until they reached the floor her apartment was.
"Now Raziel, If anyone sees you, they're either going to run in sheer panic, or ask too many questions that I don't want to give the answers to. So for now, you'll stay here."
She wondered why she even made such a suggestion. A demon Vampire living with her? What else could make her life miserable? As she unlocked her door, Raziel felt uneasy.
"I do not wish to impose. I will find my own commendations."
"Just shut up and get in here before the Manager sees you!"
Again, without thinking she grabs Raziels arm and pulls him into the room, while shutting the door behind him.
TO BE CONTINUED
-----------------------------------
Just incase any of you are wondering, NO! There will NOT be any scenes of sexual content about to happen between Raziel and Felicia. Just to let all you guys know ahead of time. Sorry to disappoint you. Maybe in later chapters... ^_~
Tell me what you think and if I should continue writing more to this. Because I'll stop adding to this story if nobodies going to read it.
Until Next Time ^_^
