Someone knocked loudly on the door, waking Raven from his
light sleep. Van got up yawning and opened the door. Fiona stood on
the other side. "Van, we've got new assignment. We have to take
Raven to a base abought a weeks wroth of travel from here." Fiona
said, Van nodded and turned back to Raven.
"Let's go Raven, you heard her." Van said adjusting Raven's cuffs
so he could go with them. Raven fallowed Van without a word, still
shocked from the night before.
*Flashback to last night*
"Don't worry Raven, I won't hurt you, much." Van said, his fangs
sliding against Raven's neck without puncturing it. He lifted his head
again and gently licked the tip of his rival's nose. He then stretched
and yawned, his fangs hiding again. "I've already fed tonight, we'll
have to wait a little longer." Van then laid down over Raven's chest
and fell asleep.
*End Flashback*
Raven shivered slightly and looked at Van. Then he glaceed over at Irvine and saw that his neck was exposed. Didn't they know what Van was? They walked into the back of a jeep and sat down waiting to leave. They were quiet as the jeep started down the dusty road but
Irvine broke that silence.
"Van, do you think it's safe to leave the zoids behind, we might
meet up with bandits." Irvine said.
"We'll be fine." Van said looking out the back of the jeep. Raven
looked at the floor. They were silent for the most part and stopped to
eat three times before night fell, then a group of bandits struck. "Right
on time." Van said, the others looked at him as he jumped out and
faced the bandits.
"What, just one, this will be no problem." One of the bandits said,
Van just laughed at him.
"You came just in time, the hunger was started to get to me, I
thought I would have to hunt again tonight." Van whispered before
letting his fangs grow and attacking. In a mater of seconds he had bit
the leader of the bandits and all the others ran yelling 'vampire' or
'monster'.
"Not bad Van. You're getting faster." Irvine said patting Van on
the back as he climbed back in, Raven just stared then tried to hid in
the dark corner.
"Raven, you do realize vampires can see in the dark." Van said as
his fangs vanished. Raven shivered slightly before shaking his head, he
would never sleep. Everyone except Raven and the driver went to
sleep in a matter of minutes, Raven just watched Van incase he woke
and attacked, but soon sleep over took him. Raven woke several hours later and felt something soft and warm under him, he froze when he realized it was Van, and Van's mouth was on Raven's neck. He looked back slowly and saw that Van's eyes were open and watching him. "You shouldn't wake up yet, it's midnight." Van gently started humming a tune, Raven felt sleep coming.
"My older brother used to sing that to me." Raven said.
"Do you remember the words?" Van asked, false curiosity in his
voice.
"Sweet baby brother, rest your eyes, sleep now and dream of a
home. A home where we can live happily, together with others like
you and like me. Sleep now dear brother, you're safe in my arms, and
soon we will have such a home." Raven sang gently falling asleep at
the end, unaware of the smile playing at Van's lips as he leaned
forward and kissed Raven's neck.
"Sleep tight, baby brother." Van whispered before going to sleep
as well.
To be continued . . .
That was a surprise, never thought those two were the brothers from the beginning, look forward to the next chapter whenever I get around to it. I have two horses to take care of now, bye.
