Authors babbling: Yes, yet another chapter. This story doesn't have much of a point yet, I know that. But it will, one day! And yes, it is getting a bit more confusing by the chapter. So, just bare with me. Don't forget to r/r and to read my other stories. Sorry about this chapter being a bit shorter.

Chapter 7

Irvine's POV

I leaned against the wall close by to the entrance of the training center. I actually got Noah to talk to me earlier. The only people she usually converses with is Squall and Christian. I think both of the twins have a crush on Squall. Damn him, but ya never know, maybe they don't. Anyway, Noah had promised me she would come and meet me here, possibly with her sister. I wanted to show them my new gun and how well I can use it. So I like showing off in front of girls, and look, THEY'RE TWINS! It can't get much better than that can it? ONE TWIN IS BETTER THAN NONE!!!! I love my life...I am a total hottie. A complete babe magnet!

I leaned against the wall just outside of the training center, my right arm to my side, gun in hand, and my left hand had fixed my hat so it was slightly covering my eyes. Have to be mysterious for the ladies. Out of the corner of my eye I could see one of the twins walking towards me. Must be Noah, she told me earlier that her sister wasn't too pleased with her for some reason. I am not quite sure why though. I cocked my head in her direction and smiled with my innocent charm.

"Come on, let's go shoot some things. We can take the head of something and put it into Seifer's bed later! We will take it to the mattresses!" I love that movie.

"Irvine, I don't think there are going to be anything similar to horses here, but sure, why not." She smiled sweetly, yet evilly at me. Great, I think I am in love.

I motioned her to follow me as we walked into the training center. As soon as I stepped foot in there I could smell the strong scent of blood. Someone must have been doing some major fighting earlier. Oh well, I know I can ignore it, can't be THAT much blood. I took a right, towards the area where the blood scent wasn't as strong, even though I knew there would be more monsters around the blood, I don't want to lose control.

Noah walked beside me in silence. I think she was aware of the scent to, possibly. That or she was just thinking. I listened carefully. I could hear the quite roar and rustling of all the different beasts in the training center. None of which were close to us. Great...off to find the monsters.

"None are even coming at us. There is a great amount of blood around here somewhere; I think that is where they all are. They are extremely attracted to blood, and weakness. That is why when someone is hurt, more monsters attack them." I smiled my know-it-all smile at Noah. I will attract her with my manliness. I would be going after her sister if she was here, but she isn't. I think I like Christian's personality better, she is a bit more talkative and louder, kind of like Selphie. But Noah is starting to talk more. She has potential. Besides, I think her sister likes Squall.

"Why don't we just go where all the monsters are then? You seem like you are stalling." Ouch. She's right... I am stalling.

"Uh, I get sick at the sight of blood. Just one of my annoying personalities." Heh, I am smart.

"Uh huh, sure. You shoot things all the time, yet you are afraid of a little blood? Besides, it's only Christian and Cosby's blood, they were training earlier. Christian came into my room, completely covered in it." Great that makes it all the better. Just talking about blood makes my senses start to kick in. Noah started walking towards the direction of the blood, forward.

I could hear every one of Noah's footsteps, every heartbeat...the blood running through her veins. Her heart pumped steadily, not missing one beat, and it was so calm. Her blood ran through her like a hot knife through butter. I could feel it pulling towards me. I could smell the blood not too far away from us. No! I need to get a grip on myself.

Noah just stopped dead in her path; she turned a shade of very pale white. All the blood had drained from her face. I turned my head towards where she was looking. Monster's had gathered around all the blood. The blood was EVERYWHERE. The ground was barely visible from all the blood. My heart started racing. The smell of it...still fresh. I could feel the heart beats of all the beasts in that particular area. The one heartbeat that I kept feeling was Noah's. It wouldn't stop pounding in my head, in my throat. Fangs exploded from my mouth. No, I need to control myself. I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down.

"Wow, I didn't know Cosby and Christian lost this much blood." Noah was purely in shock. She turned around to face me. "Maybe we should go. Irvine? Are you alright?"

I opened my eyes and walked over to her. "Yeah that's a good idea." I put my arm around her shoulder. Bad choice. Her pulse increased a bit faster, also causing it to magnify within me. I didn't even realize it until we were both on our knees on the ground. Her blood was pure, yet powerful. She defiantly had some sort of power. I don't know what though. Her blood was just so sweet.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" I saw a blur run towards me and shove me away from Noah. I deserved that. I fell on my butt into the almost fresh blood. Christian helped her sister stand up. Noah was very pale.

Oh my god. How could I do that? I don't have to drink blood. I am a dun- peal, not a freaking vampire. Only, well, half. I swore to myself four years ago that I wouldn't drink any more blood. How could this now happen. Noah snapped out of the trance she was in and looked completely horrified. Squall ran in with his gunblade. Apparently he had heard Christian's scream. He took one look around and just shook his head. He obviously knew what happened. He was the only one that knew about my secret, until now that is. Squall put his gunblade onto his back and walked over to Noah and put a hand on her shoulder and said something very quietly to her and Christian. Christian just blew up.

"GO?! JUST LEAVE! THAT THING JUST TRIED TO EAT MY SISTER! I DON'T CARE HOW MAD I WAS AT NOAH! IRVINE JUST TRIED TO KILL HER!" Wow, that was truly harsh, but I can see why she was mad. But I really didn't mean too. I would never hurt a potential girlfriend, or her sister's feelings. I don't like hurting girls in any way. That is why I swore off blood.

Christian just grabbed Squall's gunblade from his back. She started running at me. Squall yelled something extremely vulgar at her, but I didn't quite catch it, for the fact, I had some extremely mad chick running at me with a rather large, sharp object that could cut me in two. Christian swung the gunblade at me, slashing my left shoulder open. This didn't look good.

Author's mumbling: Wow, looks like Christian is going to kill Irvine. Isn't that pleasant. Oh yeah, DUN-PEAL. COMES FROM VAMPIRE HUNTER D. One of our fantasies is Irvine as a vampire. Yummy.

Muse: Hey, stop thinking like that! That's MY job!

Kiamito: Wow, where'd you come from? I haven't seen you in years!!!

Muse: I know, you just hit an inspiration point, not. Come closer and let me tell you what it is.

Kiamtio: Walks over towards her muse

Muse: Whisper, whisper, whisper...

Kiamito: hmm. Yes. Mmmhmmm...AHA! INSPIRATION! Oh, they are going to love that!
