A/n: I made an error in the summary… Serena's not a renegade vampire but a lamia. It means that they can grow old if they want to and they come from a family of vampires. The Redferns are one of the first and most powerful vampire families in the world. Their ancestor Maya was the first vampire ever and her son Redfern is the first lamia.
Goddess Of The NightChapter 2: Familiar Faces That Haunt Me
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I'd arrive here first." A girl with light blonde hair spoke. "They gave me a key, so I didn't bother to knock." She said apologetically.
"I didn't know I was going to room with somebody. I kind of want to be alone, I thought I asked the administration to give me a room all to myself." Serena said slowly trying to cover up her surprise. This girl was a dead ringer to her cousin years and years ago that had died because of forbidden love. Is it possible that vampires too can be reborn?
"Well…I'm sorry to be a bother. But all the dorms are already taken. Perhaps I can stay for the meantime with my cousin's friend that is in the same school as here." She said thoughtfully starting to turn around and leave.
"No…wait. You can stay." Serena said with a shake of her head.
The girl turned around. "Really?" She asked her light blue eyes lighting up.
"Really." Serena affirmed with a nod. "It's just that I had been afraid to get a weirdo for a roommate that's why I wanted none and of course I do have some peculiar habits." Serena explained.
The girl giggled. "I'm Mina Aino." She introduced.
"Serena Redfern." Serena responded.
"And as for your peculiar habits what are they?" Mina asked interested.
"I have weird tastes in food." Serena admitted.
"Is that all?" Mina asked eyebrows raised.
"Well…of course there's the other thing…" Serena trailed off.
"What?" Mina prodded.
"I'm an insomniac." Serena said slowly.
"Isn't that great? Me too!" Mina laughed.
Serena grinned at her exuberance. It's been a long time since she felt at home with anybody. "Why don't I help you with that?" Serena asked pointing at her luggage.
Mina finally settled in.
"I think I'll be going out for awhile I have an errand to run and it will probably take a bit of time. Don't wait up for me and lock the door when you go to sleep for I wont be home till then, and don't worry I have a key." Serena assure her walking out the door. Mina nodded and went to her room.
Meanwhile in the bad side of town, a creature of the night was preparing to lower its fangs to its hypnotized victim when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Ignoring it, and continuing his work, the bloodlust driving him crazy, he was suddenly yanked hard away from his victim.
"What the-!" He exclaimed angry. He turned around and found himself staring at 3 pair's of hard eyes bore into him like heated fire. The vampire was lost in thought at the moment when he suddenly heard a sound. His victim had already run away when he broke the spell. He cursed.
"What do you think you were doing?! You made me lose my dinner! "He shouted. The 3 men stared at him solemnly.
The vampires face shifted making it more horrendous than before. "Now why don't you three take its place?" He suggested evilly with a smirk. Still no response, it irked the vampire making him do a very foolish thing. He lunged at them with a growl., when suddenly he felt at a stab at his dead, evil heart. A look of surprise was left at the vampire's face before he exploded into dust.
"Man, that one was too noisy. And not even strong too." The man with a braid complained.
Quatre bent down and checked the ashes before it scattered to the wind. "He was quite young too. Not barely 3 months." He spoke with a shake of his head.
"Someone's spreading this disease very fast. It's like they want to build an army of the dead at the fast pace that they're multiplying." Wufei commented.
Quatre stood up as the wind picked up the ashes, "Let's go. Others might be coming."
"We'll take them on." Wufei said daringly fingering his katana behind his back.
A figure in the shadows was watching them. It made a tsk sound before disappearing completely.
Serena was walking at the park; she had already fed of course. Drinking a little bit, here and there with amazing control never to kill any of her victims. A very powerful vampire can only accomplish it with need of lots of practice. She was enjoying her little stroll when another vampire's powerful aura caught her attention.
Serena hummed an old song, turning left then right again, passing several humans lip locking on lover's lane. And then she found him. The vampire was getting real heavy kissing the human girl, his lips already trailing down to the poor girl's neck, and the girl didn't even noticed it! Still moaning for more. Just as the man was about to sink his teeth, Serena took pity and gave a little cough.
The vampire sensing her turned around. His eyes changed color as it widened slightly in surprise then pleasure.
"Darien why did you stop?" The girl behind him complained.
Darien turned to look at her earlier victim. "Something came up, why don't you just go and run along now?" He suggested soothingly.
The girl pouted and glared at Serena. "Is she your old girlfriend or something?" She wailed.
Darien was busy staring at Serena, but he did spare the girl a glance. "Heather, why don't you just leave now?… As in NOW?" He aske dhis voice turning deadly.
Heather whimpered and stood up. Her eyes raked Serena once more. "You'll pay for this you B*tch." The girl screamed. Serena gave a shake of her head. "You should be thanking me for becoming his nightly snack." Serena said quietly. Darien grinned as he heard this. Serena turned towards him.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of receiving a visit from the almighty Serena Redfern?" Darien greeted mockingly.
"Can it Darien." Serena said annoyed. "What are you doing here in this town? Didn't you know that it's my territory now?"
"Cant your favorite cousin visit you now and then?" Darien asked with a fake hurt expression.
"You're neither my favorite nor do I consider you my cousin no longer." Serena said coldly.
"Aww come on Sere. We used to have lots of fun together." Darien gave a little whine.
"Oh sure, If you only didn't torch my soulmate and gave me such a hard time. We'd still be best buds now." Serena replied sarcastically.
"You're soulmate…" Darien hissed. "I had nothing to do with his death. It's been years now, why don't you give it a rest and rule the night with me again? We can have lots of fun with all these vermin scattering around the place like this!" Darien said suggestively.
"I'll slit you're throat first before that happens." Serena growled. "Now why are you really here?" Serena said impatiently. "And no games." She warned before he could answer.
Dariend shrugged. "The family wanted to see what you were doing. Thought you'd change your mind."
"And I have not." Serena said icily. Darien gave her a little smile. "Oh well, I guess I'd better wait for another century more." He mocked sighed.
"Anything else?" Serena asked narrowing her eyes.
Darien snapped his fingers. "Oh yeah, thought you'd like to know. Some vampire huntyers were reported to be present here. And of course there's that other thing…"
"Which is?" Serena prompted.
"Mother wants to rule the world right now. And you know how she is…" Darien trailed off. "He wanted to know if you're in or out. I guess it's out then." Darien sighed.
"Go… and I don't want to see you feasting on my territory." Serena warned.
Darien mocked saluted and slinked back to the darkness.
