A Deal with the Devil
Chapter 6: Master Quatre's Lover Helps To Explain
Noin was dreaming. It was a starlit night. She was standing on a balcony overlooking the ocean. The wind ruffles her hair and blows the long curtains aside. Zechs steps to her side and takes her up in his arms, smiling his enigmatic half-smile and slowly lowering his lips to hers. But then, someone knocks at her door…
"Miss Noin?" It is a woman's voice. Noin snaps out of her dream, finds Zechs's side of the bed empty. It has been three days since she has seen any person but Zechs. "May I come in?"
"Yes, come in." A young woman enters the room, a tray of food in her hands. Noin draws her knees to her chest and wraps her arms around her legs. The girl laughs at Lucia's half-hearted attempt to be modest.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone anything." She teases. Noin smiles and the girl sits on the side of the bed. "I've brought you dinner. The Immortals are very benevolent but they forget about certain things. Food for example."
"The Immortals?" Noin's growling stomach is forgotten in her interest. The girl nods.
"Lord Zechs's clan of vampires," She says. Noin's jaw drops and the girl frowns. "No one told you?
"No," Noin finally replies. Then, a thought occurs to her. "Are you a vampire?"
The girl laughs. "Oh, no. I'm Master Quatre's lover and a human familiar. My name's Callie."
"Master Quatre?" Noin's jaw drops once more. "Quatre's alive? Where?" She moves to get up. Callie stops her.
"You may want to dress first." She says mildly. "And eat. Just relax Miss Noin. All will be revealed in time and you'll have the biggest reunion with everyone. Barring last night of course."
Noin laughs then and does relax. Over the course of an hour, she learns from Callie that all her friends are here and have been turned into vampires of their own accord. She learns that Zechs had sold his soul to Satan to save her when she was suffering from her illness.
Callie tells Noin of an Immortal being called The Master, a man who had once been Lucifer's lieutenant but had left because of a falling out with the Prince of Demons and who now leads an army of Immortals to protect the humans of the world from Satan's minions. The Master had redeemed Zechs from hell and hell's ruler at a great price. She learns that Zechs is now the leader of the Immortal Empire and the heir apparent to the Master.
"And now," Callie says, running a brush through Noin's tangled hair, "Since you're Lord Zechs's lover, you're the Princess of the Immortals."
"Right," Noin laughs. "Me? A princess?"
"I don't see why you find that so surprising." Callie says sternly.
"Because don't you think Relena is a bit more qualified than me to lead a Celestial Army?"
"Mistress Relena may be a good diplomat but she doesn't have your fire, your strength, your abilities, or your beauty. You are the flawless example of what the Immortal Princess should be."
Noin blushes but before she can speak, Callie throws a terrycloth robe into her face. "Here, put this on and I'll acquaint you with the bathing pools."
A moment later, the two women are walking briskly down the hallway of the mansion, Noin with a towel over her arm and soap in her hand. Finally, they come to a large ornate wooden door. Callie stops and turns to Noin.
"Ok, the pools are in here. " She says. "You can just go right in. If there's someone there, don't worry about it just pass the first pool and go to the next. Alright?"
Noin nods and watches as Callie melts into the shadows.
