Serena screamed at the top of her lungs. Out of no where a man with green hair had jumped out and attacked her. This time thought it wasn't a vampire. She didn't know what he was, but he was much too strong to be human, but the cross around her neck didn't seem to burn his flesh and he gripped her throat constricting her airway. Serena's screaming stopped and she felt her self about to pass out from the lack of air. At the back of her mind she wondered if Darien would come saver her again, but at the same time she almost wished he wouldn't.
Serena had never thought of herself as a quitter, but she just couldn't win lately. Sure she'd gotten her friends back, though other then that nothing else in her life had really returned to normal. Ever since her parents had died the whole world had turned upside down on her. Absolutely nothing seemed to be getting better either. Who ever it was trying to kill her now was winning, and mostly because she didn't care enough to fight. She didn't care enough to just reach up hear hands and do something, anything, to get her lungs full or air again. The world started to turn black and Serena's limbs felt heavy. Serena realized that she was never even going to feel her body hit the ground, and she was going to die in the very same place her parents had. How sad
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Darien saw Serena's limp body in Allen's hands and almost screamed with rage. He pushed his legs to move faster, to get to them before Allen saw him coming and fled, but it was to late. Allen looked up just as he came within twenty feet of them. As soon as Allen saw Darien coming he smiled and waved, then lifted Serena's limp body in his arms and disappeared in a shower of rose petals. (Yes I know that's not normal for Allen, but I'm changing his character.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena woke up, to her great surprise, in a king size waterbed with red satin sheets and a red mesh canopy. She looked around the room and realized she had no idea where she was. Scenes from the night before started to come crawling back to her from memory and she laid back in the bed and groaned.
Had Darien saved her last night? His apartment had been in shades of black and red, and she'd never scene the bedroom, Serena wondered to herself as she glanced around the room. But as she surveyed the place she realized that this could not be an apartment from her complex. The bedroom was much too big, and the ceiling much to high. So where exactly was she? And why wasn't she dead?
Slowly she got up out of the bed she had been laying in and looked down at her cloths. What she had been wearing the night before had been replaced by a white silk nightgown. Who had dressed her, and what they had seen she didn't want to think about?
Serena approached the door of the room when a voice called out to her from a chair in a dark corner that she hadn't noticed before.
"Good morning Serena." It was a man sitting in a black velvet chair. His hair was long and green and his ears pointed at the sides. He wore a look of great sadness on his face as he looked at her from the shadows.
"Um good morning? Could you um tell me where I am, who you are, and how I got here?" Serena didn't know if this man, if you could call a person with green hair, green skin, and pointed ears a man, was a friend or an enemy. She didn't like not knowing where she stood, and she and an increasing want to get out of that place by the second.
"My name is Allen. I brought you hear last night. I found you in the park. Your body was lying on the ground and I had thought you were dead. I didn't see your attacker, but apparently they didn't want to kill you. The only thing I noticed that was wrong was you have a few bruises on your arms, and those two cuts on your neck."
Serena reached her fingers to her neck and felt that it was true. She had been bitten by a vampire. She felt the two holes in her neck and began to cry. Had see become one of them? Had she really died last night and become one of those evil things?
Allen stood when he saw her tears and came to her. He hesitated a moment before wrapping her in his arms. Making soothing noises as she hid her face in his chest and cried. He stroked her hair and said calming words. Finally Serena lifted her face to his with tears in her eyes and asked the question she thought she knew the answer to.
"Am I a vampire now?"
Allen's laugh startled her. "No of course not, why would you think that? If those bites did in fact come from a vampire they didn't drink nearly enough of your blood to kill you. Come now, we have to get you back to your world and your home. I don't know how you got mixed up in the world of demons, but a pretty girl like you shouldn't be here.
Allen walked Serena to the door, all the while putting a spell on her. This was going to be his revenge. Darien was going to feel the pain that he had made Allen feel all those years ago when he took Anne from him. Darien would never admit, even to himself that he had fallen in love with a mortal, but Allen knew it was true. He was going to get his revenge all right. By taking this mortal, and making her love him, and then making her his own, only to destroy her. He would to do Darien all the evil things Darien did to him. He would make him pay.
