Thank to all my reviewers. Now that I think of it I don't think I ever told
you what Xerxes looks like. I had a lot of a writer s block for this so
sorry for the wait. Idea's for some of the Story came from Feye Morgan
Another branch broke it was getting closer remembering Hitomi advice Van searched quickly for a place to hide finding nothing Van hid behind a large tree he waited to the figure to come into sight it exited the bushes. Van gasped in surprise, fear gripped his vary soul for which he feared for. The figure heard Van's gasp and looked right in his eyes and smiled wickedly and hungrily.
Thinking it was is only option Van ran the figure didn't follow, after hours of running Van's body begged for rest, Van was deep in the forest where no one lived or dared enter. He leaned his back on a medium sized pine tree letting his arms go limp at his side, he started to relax suddenly ice cold hands grab's Van's hands in a painful pull they're pulled behind the tree and tied together tightly with the rope cutting into his skin. His captor leaves his hiding place behind Van, and stares at him with pride and victory.
"How did you find me Gavin?" asked Van in a raspy voice
"It's simple. After Hitomi left the ship I followed her to find you the first time then followed you again, knowing she would never bite you I needed proof to convince Xerxes she isn't on our side." Said Gavin, baring his fangs, he inched forward to Van's neck flowing with that wonderful sweet blood that tasted so good upon his lips.
Van struggled trying to brake free to no avail. Van tore his eyes away from Gavin's and closed his them tight exposing his venerable neck, right when Van expected the pinch of Gavin's razor sharp fangs he pulled away, Van looked at Gavin in confusion.
"If I bring you back dead with two sets of puncture marks Xerxes won't believe me, that Hitomi didn't kill you so it seems I need you alive. Now how am I going to get you back to the ship?" said Gavin looking around finding nothing Gavin said to Van.
Gavin found a large branch that fell of an old oak tree he picks it up and hits Van over the head with it. Van body fell limp only being held up by the ropes that bind him a small trickle of blood makes it's way from Van's forehead it passes his left eye Gavin wiped off with his left hand index finger. Gavin licks the blood off his finger enjoying it immensely.

Hitomi flew back to the floating fortress with great speed thankful to have gotten Van out of there but saddened that she has to go back she reaches the fortress with in a hour or two she stopped to have a bite on a wild boar. When she returned Gavin and Xerxes were waiting for her in the war room it looked more live a living room then any war room there were comfortable looking armchairs and oak coffee table with a large metal fireplace. Xerxes looked rather displeases about something his short rusty red hair was scraggily like he ran his hand through it to many times his golden colored eyes were flaming with anger. Gavin on the other hand looked quite pleased with himself like he accomplished a great task.
"You shouldn't have returned Hitomi I know what you have done." Said Xerxes
"And what traitors deed have I done?" asked Hitomi
"You see Hitomi, Gavin came to me with a rather interesting story he told me that you never killed Van that you faked it and when you supposedly dumped his body you were really letting him go is that true?" said Xerxes with a smooth voice like a snake.
"And pray tell how did Gavin come upon the information?"
"I followed you and the human to the forest were I watched you." Said Gavin with a large grin on his face
"Well that is a serious accusation do you have any proof?"
"Yes I do. Bring him in!" yelled Gavin to thew guards. Two guards dragged in and a vary awake and vary alive Van the two guards dragged Van next to Xerxes he grabbed him by the throat Hitomi gasped.
"I know you betrayed me but that's ok because after he's gone you will have no one left to love aside from me of coarse but then if I change him he could be competition, but do I want competition? That is the question ah what the heck it might be fun to kill him as a vampire and I want to taste his blood to.
Xerxes bared his fangs and sank them deep into Van's neck. Van's eyes widened with fear slight grunts of pain escaped his lips. Immense rage bubbled inside Hitomi watching her one true love being drained of life she didn't care if Xerxes was more powerful she would stop this now. Hitomi brought her sword out of it's holster bared her fangs and charged and Xerxes.
"Guards stop her!" yelled Gavin
One guard tackled Hitomi to the ground she pushed him off with ease then, two, three, four, five, six, then seven. It took seven of Xerxes strongest guards to stop the raging Hitomi. Van body fell limp in Xerxes's hand he cut his wrist put it up to Van's mouth Van choked down the think liquid. One thing Hitomi didn't understand was why was Gavin letting Xerxes do this he hated Van with ever fiber of his being maybe she could use that to her advantage.
"Hey Gavin with Van a vampire now I guess you're out the door." Said Hitomi in a calm and smooth voice
"You're lying." Said Gavin
"Think about it. Van's a beter swordsman and fighter then you as a human now that he is a vampire who is Xerxes going to want as his general?"
'She's right ones he become a vampire I'm out I can't let this happen.' Thought Gavin. Gavin pulled Xerxes wrist away from Van; Xerxes stared confused at Gavin he through Van to the floor Van fell with a thud he choked up blood as he lay on the floor. While Gavin and Xerxes were distracted Hitomi was able to change into a wolf and sperm out of the hill of men as soon as she was out she attacked Xerxes ripping out his throat then the same to Gavin. Hitomi changed back into a human and stood over Xerxes and Gavin and almost killed them both but Hitomi couldn't kill an unarmed person.
She returned her sword to its holster swung Van over she shoulder she seen her pendant around Xerxes neck she took the pendant from Xerxes placed it around her neck then start for the hanger she know that was her best bet for getting out of here. She reached the empty hanger no one in sight something she appreciated, she opened the hanger doors and as luck would have it the ship was passing over a rather tall mountain close enough for Hitomi to jump and not hurt Van with the landing. Hitomi jumped and rolled when she landed she and Van lay unmoving a few feet from each other bits of grass and dirt in the hair and on their clothes. Hitomi started to stir and groan she sat up and looked at the fortress flying away from them.
"Van are you ok?" asked Hitomi trying not to let the strain she was feeling seep through. When he didn't answer she became greatly worried perhaps Xerxes was able to take to mush blood? She rushed over to Van's side praying he was all right she felt his wrist for a pulse she did find one. Her worst fear had come true her true love was dead never to return she could change him into a vampire but she would never place that curse upon him. She fell to her knees and sat there in shock tears falling down icy cheek she looked in direction of the fortress with a gaze of hatred that could match no other. She didn't care how powerful Xerxes was she would rip his heart out with her bear hands and feed it to a dog then she would chop his head off with a dull sword then stick it on a pick and let the birds eat his flesh.
"Xerxes I swear on everything that is good in this universe your demise is close at hand and shall be dealt by my hand!" screamed Hitomi into the cold mountain air
"But first I shall return Van's body to Fanelia so he my be put to rest with his family." Said Hitomi sobbing. She picked up his body and started the long walk to Fanelia, Hitomi walked for hours in the forests path her face showed no emotion but her eyes show sorrow and hatred immense hatred. Suddenly Van started to groan Hitomi stopped and put Van down feelings of joy and sadness the only way he could be alive is if he is a vampire and she wouldn't wish this life on her worst enemy let alone her one true love. Van eyes opened to see Hitomi looking down on him.
"Hitomi what happened why do I feel so strange?" asked Van groggily
"I'm sorry to tell you this Van but Xerxes turned you into a vampire." Van stared at Hitomi in shock.
"W-w-w-What!?"
"Come on the sun will be up soon we have to find a place to hide." Said Hitomi trying to hold back the tears she wanted to cry.
"I know these wood there's an abandoned dragon's cave near by." Said Van pointing into the woods. The two were able to reach the cave just as the sun rose over head. Hitomi knew haw hungry Van was she remembers what it was like her fist night as a vampire.
"Stay here Van I'm going to see if I can find us something to eat." Van said nothing he couldn't imagine that pain and anger Hitomi was felling right know she had tried so hard for him not to turn into a vampire.
*~~~*
Hitomi walked trough the forest looking for an animal of some kind she came across a bird every so often but that wasn't even a snack she need something bigger but to her surprise she came across Gavin looking for something to eat as well. A rage festered inside Hitomi if Gavin hadn't followed her then none of this would have happened she would kill that little ass hole for what he has done even without her sword which she left at the cave she stepped out if her hiding place.
"Gavin!" he turned and looked into her eyes hers filled with anger his filled with evil.
"I was hoping I would run into you I finely get the chance to kill you." he pulled out his sword and charged her with his sword above his head. She grabbed his hand and broke his wrist then threw him back she picked up the sword and threw it into the bushes. He ran at her again he punched she blocked kick she blocked every kick and punch he threw at her she only blocked. Now it was her turn she punched it hit kick it hit punch, hit, kick, hit, punch, punch, kick, kick, Gavin stumbled backward her rage was so great she didn't realize what she was doing all she know is she wanted him dead. She boar her fangs grab's him by the throat lift's him off the ground and spoke with a dark and evil voice.
"So you think it fun toying with people lives and love you shall learn that you should never mess with people in love like the old saying goes. Hell has no fury like the wrath of a woman." With out thinking Hitomi sunk her fangs into Gavin's neck and started to drink his blood.
