Chapter 5: A Brush with Danger
AN: R&R!
"So what happened? Duo asked curiously, hopping off of her. He stayed cross- legged sitting on her bed however.
"It was a dream…" she said, recalling the previous events.
"I think we've already established this, Lydia." He said sarcastically. She smiled sheepishly.
"I guess you're right. It was like 10 or 20 vampires, and the all kept screaming and yelling at me. I started running and I ran into what I thought was you, but it wasn't. The vampire grabbed me and bit me." She explained.
"Lydia, tell me about your family." Duo said suddenly, ignoring her description of her dream. A sad look crossed her face.
"What's there to tell? My mother was a doctor. My father was an accountant. My older brother was a fast food seller."
"They were all mortals, weren't they?" It took Lydia a while to comprehend what he was getting at.
"Do you think that dream was a memory and not a premonition?" she asked. Duo nodded. "If none of your family members were vampires, then you must have been bitten. Do you remember any of that?" Lydia tried to think really hard.
"No. I was young. I think." Duo nodded.
"Let's not ponder this anymore. I'm tired." He hopped back on his own bed.
"But what about my dream?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow after we start off again. That way we'll have something to talk about." Duo said, rolling over. "Sleep well." Lydia did the same and closed her eyes.
"You're gonna need all you can get…" he added silently.
The next morning, the sun came streaming into the windows on Duo's shirtless skin.
"Ouch! Damn!" he yelled, jumping up to close the curtains. He had a huge black mark on his back, but it didn't matter; he was a vampire, and they had amazing healing powers. It would be gone in a few hours.
Duo's shouts woke Lydia, who had had another dream about Duo during the night. But it wasn't exactly scary. Actually, It was kind of… nice. She sat up in bed.
"So what's wrong?" she asked him. Duo showed her the mark on his back. Lydia had more sympathy for him then he had for himself. She jumped out of bed in her nightgown and sat on his bed with him.
"The sun? What a nuisance." She jumped up before he could reply and ran into the bathroom. She grabbed a clean washcloth and a small glass of water.
"I'm fine… Really. Lydia, you don't have to." She ignored him. She gently dipped the washcloth into the water and rubbed it gently on Duo's pale skin. He shuddered at first, but then he relaxed, once he got used to her touch.
Lydia smiled as she rubbed his wound. Duo blushed slightly. Why did she care so much about a simple sun injury? Did she really care for him that much?
He pulled away from her. Lydia looked surprised.
"Did I hurt you? I'm sorry. I'll stop." Lydia said, looking down at the floor, putting the water and cloth there too.
"No." Duo assured her. "It's just that…" he took a deep breath. "Do you… like me?" Lydia blushed furiously.
"W-what? What do you mean?" she asked, stumbling over the words.
Do you… have a… crush on… me?" he asked, pausing every two words.
Lydia looked strange. She didn't look at Duo and didn't answer. She stood up slowly and reached down for the water and cloth.
Duo grabbed her hand before she could touch either.
He pulled her close to him in a passionate kiss. Duo pulled Lydia into a tight embrace and lowered her down onto his bed. His tongue slid into her mouth and Lydia wrapped her arms around his neck.
Duo's hand made its way slowly to the inside of Lydia's thigh, and he rubbed it gently. She moaned into his mouth, and Duo directed his mouth towards her throat. He was growing hungry.
His lips traced from her jawline down, to lick her neck. Lydia shut her eyes. It felt so good having Duo near her like this. She loved him…
Duo wasn't thinking clearly anymore. His hunger was taking him over as he continued licking her neck. His tongue brushed her neck with more force each time, to the point where it was starting to hurt. His tooth brushed it twice… Lydia squealed, but this time it was in pain.
"Duo…" she moaned. "Please stop. You're hurting me!" she cried. Duo's eyes snapped open.
"What did I just do?" he cried out loud, looking down at Lydia's neck, noting that there was no blood, but there was a rather large hickey.
"I'm so sorry, Lydia. I couldn't control it. That hasn't happened for centuries." He said, calming down. Lydia nodded as Duo let her squirm out from under him.
What was happening to him?
Duo sat up straight. He cleared his throat.
"Let's not discuss this little episode, okay?" he asked. Lydia nodded, not turning around.
"We'd better be off then. They'll be coming soon." Lydia nodded.
