Chapter 4 Vampire's Kiss
The next day Serena entered the room alone since Mina had already gone ahead. "I wonder if they'll be coming in today?" she mused thinking about Duo's bloodied form the night before. When she got inside she was surprised to see Quatre chatting with Mina. There was a look of pure love on Mina's eyes that she didn't even notice Serena come in.
"Hey." Serena greeted behind them.
"Sere." Mina flushed while Quatre gave a nod.
"So how's Duo?" Serena asked casually.
"Oh he's fine." Quatre answered a bit uncomfortable.
"Why? What happened to him?" Mina asked concerned.
"Oh nothing…nothing. Oh, there's Wufei I need to speak to him before class starts. Bye Mina, Serena." Quatre spoke in a hurry.
"Bye." Mina echoed.
~~~~~~~~
"Are they here yet?" Quatre asked as he approached Wufei.
Wufei shook his head.
"What could be taking them so long?" Quatre asked worried.
"Relax, you know Yuy, nothing could ever hurt him." Wufei said offhandedly.
"I know, but after last night we can't go hunting again this evening." Quatre spoke glancing at the students that came rushing in.
"We gotta lay low for awhile." Wufei agreed.
"And I'm worried about that girl Serena, she knows our secret." Quatre continued. "Hopefully, Duo has the answers for us after class."
"That is if he did his work at all." Wufei snorted. "He's probably sleeping right now." Wufei snorted and then winced.
"Any more broken bones?" Quatre asked alarmed.
"Nothing I couldn't handle." Wufei answered harshly.
~~~~~~~~
Quatre and Wufei entered their dorm room and found Duo lying on the couch with the remote control in his hand.
"So did you find anything?" Quatre asked. Duo pointed to the stack of papers at the table. He turned off the TV and faced them. Quatre handed a couple to Wufei and they skimmed through the pages. Quatre's brow furrowed as he read the contents.
"Wait, wait, wait… what is this Circle Daybreak? Now there are actually good vampires?" Wufei asked with disbelief.
Quatre picked another paper. "And according to these, there are more vampires here in this school than we've imagined. Some that can mask their aura very well."
"They are forming a little army here too. No one's yet sure what are their goals and who is leading them." Duo added.
"Could it be Serena Redfern perhaps?" Wufei asked with contempt. He hated the idea that she saw him in his weakened state last night.
Duo shook his head. "Read this." He handed Quatre one of the printed papers.
Quatre's eyes widened. "She could've very well killed us last night." He spoke softly. "I think that she's the one who saved us." Quatre spoke looking at Wufei and Duo grimly. "But why?"
"I think we need to have a little talk with her tomorrow." Duo suggested. "According to this, she is quite old, and has very unique unknown powers that many fears her."
"That's why we have to wait till Heero and Trowa gets here. Who knows she might be the mistress that they were talking about. We are in no condition to fight her right now." Quatre said calculatingly.

That night, Relena stood outside her balcony breathing the night air. It was a full moon outside and she shivered at how eerie the light the moon cast at the tress beneath. Relena was about to get inside when a movement blow caught her attention.
"Could it be another killing?" Relena thought in alarm. "Wouldn't it be great if I was the one who caught the murderer? Heero would be so proud of me." Relena thought dreamily. Getting up her nerves, she got out her cloak and hurried outside.
Down at the school gardens where she saw the movements earlier, Relena was getting nervous.
"This might not be such a good idea." Relena thought fearfully, glancing at the shadows that crept all around her. She tried to go back when she heard a hissing sound behind her.
A hand clamped down o her left shoulder, so strong that Relena stiffened unable to move, her eyes widening in fright.
Giving it all she's got, Relena summoned all her strength and spun around facing her attacker, her mouth forming a little "O" as she gave out a screeching scream.
"Eeeeeeiiiiiiiikkkkkkkk!!!!!!!"
The stranger covered her mouth. "Hello Ms. Relena. What are you doing here at this ungodly hours of the night?" The stranger asked her voice pleasing. She removed her hand from Relena's mouth eyeing her not to scream.
"Oh, I'm sorry do I know you?" Relena spoke her voice hoarse. In front of her was a pretty girl that she had seen in class, but at the moment the girl was not pretty anymore but hauntingly beautiful in the pale shadows of the moonlight.
"I don't believe so." The girl said thoughtfully. "My name's Charmaine." The girl grinned revealing perfect white teeth.
"It's a pleasure to meet you.' Relena spoke her voice formal. "But I believe I need to get back." Relena spoke trying not to let any nervousness creep out of her voice.
"But why were you here in the first place? Surely you were needing something." Charmaine spoke solicitously.
"Oh, it was nothing." Relena gave a little laugh. "I thought that I heard something and went over to check it out."
"Thought it was the murdered perhaps?" Charmaine inquired knowingly. "Thought that if you're the one to caught her people would shower you with more praises didn't you?" She mocked.
"How…how'd you know that? And how do you know the murderer is a girl?" Relena squeaked.
"How would I know?" Charmaine had one eyebrow raised and gave a shrill laugh. "Simple…" Charmaine crept closer to trapping her.
"I can read your mind and as for the murdered, I am she." Charmaine's voice dropped to a soothing caress.
"Poor princess Relena, you can be so stupid at times. Such an important figure such as you shouldn't go around frolicking at night chasing creatures of darkness." Charmaine ridiculed.
"I really hate listening to all you're boring speeches you know. And to think now I can have a little payback for you making us sit through all those. Just think…I'd be doing the student body a favor." Charmaine said with a sadistic smile.
"You do have such a nice neck though, but alas, the mistress wants you." Charmaine said sorrowfully. "So all I'll do is take a little sip." Charmaine spoke holding Relena in place.
"No….no…no..." Relena prayed closing her eyes waiting for the worst to come... when all she felt was a gust of wind and dust flying over her face. She opened her eyes and peeked. Seeing a figure in the shadows, Relena stiffened until the figure came closer.
"Heeeerrrooooo! You're BACK!" Reelena cried out and launched herself at the newcomer.
"Get off me Relena." Heero grunted.
"Oh! Thank you! Thank You! I knew you wouldn't let anything happen to me." Relena gushed.
"Get back to your room now." Heero ordered on a voice you don't want to mess with. Relena nodded meekly and went inside but not before blowing him a kiss.
Heero mentally groaned. "Two things that I truly hate in this world, Night World and her. I wonder what made me stop the vampire from ridding me of the most annoying person in my life…my guilty conscience maybe?"
~~~~~~~~
Relena got inside her room and sighed taking out her diary…
Dear Diary,
Tonight, I had a midnight rendezvous with Heero…
She wasn't able to write anymore as she heard a chuckle at her dark room.
"Who's there?" Relena asked alarmed.
There was silence for a few moments before he revealed himself to her, Midnight black hair, deep blue eyes and a very nice body.
Relena gasped. "He was beautiful…even more beautiful than Heero." Relena thought dreamily. "Wait…no, no one's as hot as Heero." Relena corrected herself stubbornly.
"Why are you here? Don't you know that this is a private room?" Relena asked trying to be scolding.
"Don't you remember? You called out to me." The stranger spoke vaguely with a seductive smile.
"I did?" Relena's eyes fluttered. "Have we met before?" She swallowed. Something about this stranger, his eyes, his body language, seemed to wreak predator. "And I'm his prey." Reelena thought giddily. "Maybe it'd make Heero jealous."
"Only in dreams, my love. Only in dreams." He whispered. And before Relena knew it, he was so close to her, holding her by the waist as he kissed her passionately. Relena didn't remember anything else as she felt a slight pain in her neck and bliss, oh the bliss! Before she slinked off into oblivion.

The next day, Duo woke up at a knock at their door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming…Geez." Duo muttered still fighting his desire to go back into bed and walking clumsily to open the door. Prussian blue eyes greeted him.
"Heero!" Duo squeaked. Heero entered without a word and glanced at the stack of paper in the table. At the same time, Quatre and Wufei got out of their rooms.
"Heero, where's Trowa?" Quatre asked.
"Hn. He'll arrive a few days later." Hero answered in monotone scanning the paper he held in his hands.
"Oh, about that we just have finished reading it." Quatre explained seeing Heero frown.
"You're separating them into lists?" Heero asked skeptically.
Wufei rolled his eyes. "See Quatre had this idea that not all vampires are bad. He thinks that Serena Redfern helped us escaped the other night."
"All vampires are scum." Heero spoke narrowing his eyes. "Serena Redfern." Something about that name seemed to stir something in him.
"I've sold my soul to see that all will perish under my sword and I won't spare anyone." Heero vowed before stalking out. He paused for a moment and turned back to them, "We go hunting tonight." He ordered coldly.
~~~~~~~~
That night, Serena was having a hard time finding her donors. She had already bitten off one but still it was not enough, she was still hungry. She can't return barely fed, it will be dangerous for her and for the first human she encounter. She was not drinking properly ever since she came here, she was able to hold it off for long but soon her restraint would surely break.
She turned to the left and found a young man sitting alone at a bench.
"I'm so sorry… Serena thought sympathetic as he crept at her victim.
Meanwhile, Quatre and Wufei were together in another part of the park searching for werewolves, vampires and other creatures.
"Do you think that Heero would be alright?" Quatre asked dubious.
"Yuy has the devil's charm." Wufei answered watching their surroundings looking for any signs of movement.
Then Quatre tensed. "Serena…she's here." Wufee frowned.
"Yuy is going to kill her." Wufei spoke with clarity.
"We've got to stop him, we can't risk him invoking her anger, and especially since she's the one who saved us." Quatre argued.
"I don't like doing this but… let's go." Wufei spoke finally.
