Chapter 7
After our quiet breakfast, we all went our separate ways. Lita went to start planting her garden, even though it was the middle of January. Amy went to her first day of Medical College; she had been the only one who wanted to go to school. Mina went to her acting job, and Raye stayed home and read more of the book, I had given her. We had all planned to hook up later, and teach Raye a little about fighting, vampire style.
It was then that I approached her, I had to ask her something of great importance. "Raye?" I asked. She looked up from the book, and starred at me, "Yes?" she questioning my emotionless expression. "What do you know about Dager?" I blurted out the words, before I could consider them. As soon as she heard the name Dager, her face paled, and she looked as if she'd seen a ghost. "What. do.you.want.to know?" she stuttered. "He appeared to me last night, and asked me to fight him" I paused before continuing, "Do you have any idea why?" She shook her head viciously, despite her petrified body. "Thanks anyway, Sorry to bring it up, I know how painful it can be at first" I said. "It's ok, its just that night still haunts me" she said. I was about to walk away, when she asked me, "By the way how did you get that rose scar on your arm?" "I fought Dager and lost" I said. "By the way I have something for you." I pulled something out of my pocket, and tossed it to her. She caught it easily; we vampires had better reflexes than a cat.
She stared at the gift a moment before smiling. "Thank You" she said she put it around her neck. It was a silver chain, with a mars symbol pendant. "All of us have our own symbol, and mars suits you, and besides all the vampires we help, we give them a symbol. Most vampires know that it means we trained them," I said. "Your Welcome" I whispered before disappearing.
I reappeared in front of The Crown. I walked inside, and noticed Darien talking to Andrew. He looked over, and saw me, his eyes narrowed.
I walked over to a stool five away from his, it was the farthest away from him, and I had no desire to talk to him. Andrew walked over to me, and left to get the drink I had ordered. He came back, and I sat there drinking it, as I thought about Dager.
"What are you during here?" I heard a voice that I recognized as Darien's. "I have the right to be here just as much as you are," I said. "Ok then, are you scouting out your next innocent victim?" he spat. 'I'm not like most vampires, I don't kill for pleasure, I kill to survive Darien. And if you still don't get this then let me make it easier on you. I'm a predator, like a wolf for example must kill in order to survive, so what's the difference' I said into his mind, so humans wouldn't here our conversation. 'The difference is that you guy's don't have to kill in order to survive, you can have enough blood for you to survive without killing' he said in back. Though he was to untrained to even get into my mind, so if he wanted to fight he would lose very badly.
He left without another word, and I continued to think about my own problems. "Hey Serenity, right?" came a voice. I looked up to see Andrew was the person who had spoke to me. My eyes locked with his and he hesitated before speaking, "What did you do to Darien?" he asked. "Nothing" I said calmly. "Well then how did he go from falling in love with you, to hating you" he said. "What!?" I shrieked, getting many stares from other customers. "What do you mean falling in love?" I demanded. "Chill, anyone could plainly see that you guys were falling for each other," He said. "So what happened between you two?" he asked, while I tried to regain control of myself. "I didn't do anything, he just doesn't accept things very well, I guess" I paused a moment before continuing, "Listen I didn't say, or do anything, someone else did." I got up from my seat and left quietly.
'We weren't falling in love, we just kept meeting up, no matter how much I tried not to' I thought while heading home. 'Oh great now this is going bug me to no end'
I reached my mansion, and was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. Reflexes made me grab the hand and throw them to the ground. By the time I saw who it was I couldn't stop myself. "Darien are you all right" I giggled. "You think this is funny," he said. "Yes" I said, as I burst out laughing. I then grew serious, and asked him, "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I decided to give you another chance, after all people do change," he said. "Darien, if you couldn't see that I'm not evil in the first place, than I think your wasting you're time here" I said, as I entered my home. I felt his aura go, as I sighed in relief.
"What was that all about?" asked Mina, as she saw me sigh, even though I technically didn't breath. "That was Darien right? Why didn't you give him another chance?" Mina asked. "He didn't accept the fact till I put it in prospective for him, he should have been able to do it himself" I argued, "Now let's start training."
We all went outside, and taught Raye how to fight vampire style, she was pretty good, but was still to young, to become powerful right away. She fought every one of us except me, for I feared I would hurt her. Technically the others could be as strong as I was but they still clung to their humanity. But the main reason was that when they were changed the vampire didn't let them kill their first victim. I however was forced to feed, and kill after I found out what I was. That feeling never went away now matter how much I despised killing my victims. I would stop if I could, but I've made far to many enemies that could take advantage of my weakness. Also I get lost in the sensation of blood, and I lose control.
"Hey Sere want to fight me?" Raye asked. "You wanting to ask me to fight you is like asking, Will you kill me please?" I snorted, trying to control my laughter. "Oh come on I can take it," she said. I looked at her she was deadly serious. 'Alright let's play' I said in her mind. She was ready to fight, when I disappeared and then reappeared behind her. I lightly punched her, but she was a) tired from fighting the others b) Too weak, so she was flung threw the air, seven feet away. "I warned you," I said, going over to make sure she was okay.
She wasn't unconscious, but still was too weak to get up on her own. I lightly picked her up and carried her inside. She regained her strength a minute later. "I guess I was a little in over my head wasn't I?" she said remembering what had happened. "Even though we are blood related, doesn't mean you get strength right away" I said. "How are we blood related?" she asked me. I looked at the other's, and then at her. "I guess when the girls told you about my embarrassing moment, they didn't tell you my story" I said. "We weren't sure if you wanted us to, we know you don't trust easily" said Lita. "Well that's ok, I prefer to tell it myself anyway," I said, and the continued, "Dager is my blood brother, we were changed by the same person. His name was Slyger." Raye gasped, as if shocked that they could be related, when they're so different.
I told her the rest of the story, and then the others told theirs. Mine however was the saddest, even though we had all been changed against our will, I had lost the most. While they had nothing left cause, of some accident to their families, I had to face losing my families, and myself to the monsters I was sent to destroy.
Cliffhanger alert. Why was she sent to destroy vampires? Actually I don't even know. (Kinda pathetic) I hope you liked this chapter, and continue to read. Please review. I hope to get chapter 8 out soon. Oh and please answer this in you reviews: Do you guys want Darien to be turned into a vampire or all of the get turned into humans in the end? Or do you guys want me to right two endings. Serenity and Endymion Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
