~ Hello my good chaps. If anyone reads this, here's chapter seven. I love all of my reviewers. Anna POV, still. If you want me to change POV tell me. Enjoy. ~
After I regained my composure when Chaos left, I went to talk to Gabriel. He was really the only person I could talk to in the community of Midnight. Everyone else shunned me because I was in Silver's line. I am not sure why the lines have such animosity towards each other. Probably something bad happened like a thousand years ago and the lines still held it against each other. Why they would hold something against each other for that long, I have no idea, but Chaos seemed to be capable of holding his grudge against his brother that long, so I'm assuming that other vampires shared the trait.
Gabriel was with someone, when I entered his room. The girl was pushing him away and it reminded me of myself in relation to Chaos. Well, that's what I had thought. Now, I felt some obligation to feel affections towards him as he did to me. I shook the thoughts from my head and Gabriel finally acknowledged my presence. The girl struggled to get out of his grip, this made Gabriel smile. Some people, I will never understand. Some vampires, really. I went over to one of his chairs and sat down. Most of the rooms in Midnight look the same. The room I had been staying in matched this one exactly. The rooms were rather cold looking, they were all light gray in color. The beds were covered in gray sheets and gray comforters, though I doubted most vampires really cared about the colors of their surroundings. It didn't bother me that much.
"What brings you here Anna? I see you've fed well enough." I could tell Gabriel wanted to know when I was leaving, it made me feel as if I didn't belong. Well, duh, that's because I don't belong here. I belong over in New Mayhem, with the rest of my line.
"I got bored. I came here to talk to you. I think your the only person that will talk to me or even look at me." He nodded in acceptance of my answer.
"I have a meeting with Jeshickah, but I'm sure Katana will talk to you. Won't you?" The girl made a 'I-won't-do-it-now-because-you-said-I-would' face, but Gabriel left anyway. His absence left Katana and I in awkward silence. Well, fine, I would start the conversation.
"Are you one of Gabriel's slaves?" The girl scowled when I said that. At least I was getting a reaction out of her.
"No, I'm not. Does it look like he orders me around? Who are you? I've never seen you or heard of you before."
"I'm Anna. I used to be-" the girl cut me off with a motion of her hand.
"Look, I don't want your life story, I just want to know who made you." Jeez, if she didn't watch it I would correct her attitude. Damn it, now I sound like one of these slave drivers.
"Chaos. Chaos made me." Her eyes brightened a little. She knew him?
The girl seemed to know what I was thinking because she said, "Chaos is one of the nicer vampires I know." Upon seeing my 'yeah-right' look she said, "Well, at least to me, he was nice." I sighed, I had never been raised around Midnight vampires, so maybe Chaos was nice compared to them.
"So, why does Gabriel, umm, have you here?" I sounded really stupid, but the girl seemed to be at ease with me now that I had mentioned Chaos. She smiled wistfully.
"I think Gabriel keeps me around so that when and if he gets bored, he has something to do. Like annoy me, or beat me, or kiss me. Some things are more pleasureful than others." I think this Katana girl may love Gabriel. But why? Oh well, none of my business.
We chatted for a while, Katana was pretty nice once you got through her defenses. Gabriel walked in about an hour after he had left. It felt like he had been gone for about five minutes, I hadn't really talked to anyone in, what felt like, millions of years. It was good to get some things off my chest, like my feelings for Chaos. She thought it was funny that I was so confused about it. These were her exact words for the situation: "What is so confusing about him kissing you, Anna? Obviously, he has affection for you, so why not let yourself feel the affections? I can tell you like him, you look cheerful when you talk about him." What confused me the most was that I had hated him so much, and now, I cherished the kiss he had given me. I think I am losing it. Gabriel told me that Chaos wanted me to meet him in his library. Katana raised her eyebrows and I rolled my eyes. She was young at heart.
When I arrived at Chaos's house, I was greeted by his slaves. I nodded at them as they spoke greetings of "Milady" or "G'day miss." I felt like royalty. They took me to the library, where Chaos lounged on a black couch that was in front of a roaring fire. He looked over at me, a look of uncertainty on his face. He dismissed his slaves, so the two of us were left alone. I was really nervous, though I didn't really have a reason to be. Chaos invited me to sit down beside him, but I made no move to do so.
"Anna, calm down. I won't bite." I smiled at the comment, the humor in it; the way he hadn't meant it literally, yet it sounded literal because of what he is.
"I'm calm, I just want to know why I'm here." He looked over at me, I couldn't read his face.
"You tell me Anna, I didn't force you to come." God, I wanted to smack him sometimes.
"Well, I didn't invite myself."
"I wanted to see if you had came to a decision. Are you ending your immortal life, or will you keep it?" I thought for a second. I didn't know, why did he care? I was getting defensive again. I decided to answer him honestly.
"I don't know. I can't survive, I can't kill all the time. I'll end up dying of shame." He frowned.
"I'll make a deal with you."
"What's the deal, Chaos?"
"I'll help you; I'll teach you how to hunt, everything that has to do with your survival. I only ask one thing." I waited for him to tell me, but the answer wasn't forthcoming.
"Well? What's the question?"
"I want you to be my companion. I'm quite lonely these days. I also think that I'm falling for you, so I would really appreciate if you accepted." I sat there contemplating. I came up with my answer and smiled.
"Forget the deal. I need to learn how to survive on my own, and I will." He looked disappointed and sad, so I added, "Chaos I'm falling for you too. Yes, I'll be your companion. You don't need to give me anything to receive that companionship. I'll see you later." I caught his happiness as I left his warm home. He really is a nice guy. I now know that I have the will to survive. Not only for myself, but for the one I am falling in love with, Chaos. I will stay immortal for him.
~ Okay, I think I'm ending it there. If I get too far into it, it'll end up meshing into my story Predator, so I sadly must end Anna's story here. Though the end is on a happy note, which is good. R&R. Happy Hunting. ~
