Love Is Thicker Than Blood
Chapter 10: Love Is Thicker Than Blood
--------------------
(Rei's POV)
"So you ARE the ones!" Robert exclaimed from above me, his voice full of malice.
I lifted my head from Johnny's body, blood covering my neck and chin to find Robert standing over me. I could see the hate he had for me. I could feel it radiating from his eyes. He no longer saw me as his ex-rival. He only saw me as a monster as I knelt over Johnny's bloodied body, with my eyes blazing and fangs bared.
"Robert-" I began but before I could finish I felt the sting of his hand across my cheek.
"You shall not address me in such an informal tone you Devil!" He spat as I sat myself up, my hand resting against my cheek.
I sat there for barely a minute, trying to gain my composure when Robert lunged at me with something pointy in his hands. I knew at once it was a wooden stake when it grazed my arm as I did my best to move out of the way. Where he had gotten it from I'm not sure, but I had no time to contemplate it as he began to come for me again.
"Robert just listen to me. Please," I begged as I once again dodged his attack.
"Why? So you can poison me with your evil?" He growled. "I think not."
"But-"
"But nothing. Its time to die."
--------------------
(Robert's POV)
I ran after the Evil being, knowing that I just had to get rid of such filth. Now more then ever since Rei murdered Johnny. I will not forgive him for that. I will never forgive him. Naturally the Evil had a higher agility then me so the distance made me unable to strike. I gained in pursuit as Rei burst out into the open. He ran out into the backyard of the mansion, hoping to escape me so he could fly away I'm sure. However, for him that was his biggest mistake. I had lined the frame with Holy Water, so as he burst through the doors he screeched with pain.
I could tell the pain was searing through his body as he kept moving, but at a much more laboured pace. I was now able to gain on him. I could smell his Evil body's flesh burning from the acid like feel of the Holy Water on its skin. Red marks were rapidly appearing up his arms where his clothing now began to shred.
After much chasing, Rei's movements finally began to be too much for him. The Holy Water having taken its toll on his body, he fell to his knees in the grass. His golden-red eyes were glowing in the fading moonlight. His skin becoming more translucent as dawn neared. Hearing his ragged breathing as I neared, a small smirk appeared on my face.
"Looks like the Almighty wins again," I mused.
He looked up at me with what seemed to be pained and sorrowful eyes, defeat washing over them as I raised my hand above my head ready to strike. He seemed to be accepting of his fate. It seemed almost noble. Either way. I won.
"NOOOOOO!!!"
Suddenly Kai appeared out of no where, jumping to push Rei out of the way. Unfortunately for Kai, he was a second to slow and the stake plunged into his chest. Although it was not deep enough to kill him instantly there would be no saving him. I knew it at once as Kai pushed Rei's body out of the way and a gush of thick, dark blood began to pour from the wound.
I looked back to see Max, and Tyson standing with Enrique and Oliver. They all seemed to be very stunned, and Oliver seemed to be on the verge of tears. He must have been the one who shouted, as his mouth finally began to close as everyone watched Kai hold Rei to him.
-------------------
(Kai's POV)
I knew Rei had been in trouble. I knew I shouldn't have left him when I did. Now I'm too late. I could have saved him, but instead he's lying in my arms dying. Blood soaking his white ensemble, and now trickling out of the corner of his mouth.
"Gomen nasai Rei. Gomen," I whispered as I held him in my arms, and pushed his raven hair out of his face.
"Y-you don't ha-have t-to be sorry," He muttered, trying to get the words out with each laboured breath. "I-I should have been quicker."
"Ne, I should have been there Rei. I shouldn't have left you."
A small smile appeared on his lips, and with what seemed to be every ounce of strength he had left he brought his hand to my cheek. I held his hand to my cheek, and then kissed it, trying to tell myself that he would be alright.
"You know I will always love you," he whispered without faltering.
Hearing those words my heart plummeted. I knew he wouldn't be alright. I knew he was going to leave me. My Love wasn't going to survive.
"I-I don't want to live without you."
"You can-"
"Ne. I have nothing to live for if I don't have you."
My eyes glistening I looked up to the sky in despair, only to find that it was brightening with the threat of day. Very soon the sun would be shining in all its glory over the horizon. I closed my eyes to wash away the tears before looking down at Rei with a new found hope. Seeing the look in my eyes he must have known what I was thinking as he sighed and nodded his head.
--------------------
(Oliver's POV)
The scene before us was just too much. It was so hard to believe that our friends had been turned into these supernatural beings. Yet here they were, vampires. Being creatures of the night didn't seem to change them though. They still seemed to be the friends we knew and loved. Unfortunately, Johnny died in the process of finding out they were vampires even though Robert had many suspicions.
I know now that Johnny's death hadn't been intentional. Kai had been merely trying to protect Rei, and now Rei was dying in his arms. I can feel Enrique's comforting arm around my waist as I try not to cry, watching as my friend lays dying. Robert seems too stunned to move, but there seems to be some change in the look of the two lovers. They don't seem to be as sad anymore. Seeing them both look up at the sky I see the brightening of day.
"Oh no." I gasp, holding my hand over my mouth.
My three companions look over at me, and all look up at the brightening sky. Each seemed to catch on after a moment, hoping that my thoughts weren't correct. As Kai held Rei closer to him in a loving embrace, Max and Tyson decide that my suspicions are true as they gasp and begin to dash out towards their friends.
There are mingled whispers of "I love you" over the shouts of "NO!" as Tyson and Max run towards their comrades. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time for them. The sun chose that time to makes its appearance over the horizon, letting everyone know a new day had started. Instantly I lost my friends. There was nothing left but two statues, each running from either side towards the statue of the embracing couple.
Love truly is a powerful thing.
