Dead Shadow
Ch. 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing.


To live forever? Until now, I never gave it a thought. "Why me? Why not give it to someone else?" I asked
him, still unsure about how he would act. For the moment he looked calm, until I saw a fire in his eyes.
"Do you think I lie?!" he yelled in pure anger. "Being able to live forever is a blessing! Think about it. Just
pitcure it if you will." Lemar's voice had now calmed down as he placed his ghastly pale hands on my sholders. He
smiled yet again as he leaned forward and whispered softly in my ear, "Death will be nothing. Sickness can not touch you.
You will be a living breathing god. All it takes is one sweet kiss." He slowly backed away from me now as he looked
into my eyes as he feasted upon looking at me. I knew becoming like him was the only way I would be saved. What if he
would hurt others if I refused? What if - ? There was no time to be thinking about this now. His face was suddenly
cold as he expected me to respond. "Do you still refuse, young one?" he said in a harsh tone.
Still shaking slightly, I swallowed and gathered what was left of my courage. "Yes," I said, nearly begging. "Give me
this gift!" Lemar smiled with delight as he suddenly pressed his lips on mine. Light and gentle this kiss was and
for the moment I thought my troubles were over. That was when he took me away from the streetlight into a darker
area. "W-Where are you taking me?" I cried out in surprise. "I thought it was over!"
Lemar leaned forward, his somewhat cold lips now on my neck. He placed light kisses as I shivered.
"Trust me, lovely one. It will be over." Those were the last words he said as he sank his fangs into my neck. I
moaned in pain and tried to push him off of me, but he was too powerful. His grip was far too tight and as he continued,
I started to die. I could feel my heart slowing down. This is it, I thought to myself. I'm going to die.
Suddenly, he let me go and pushed me back against a tree. I was surprised I was still alive after what happened. Yet I
watched with a strange feeling as he bit into his left wrist and pressed it against my lips. "Drink, my beautiful one," he
mumured against my ear. "If you want to live, you must drink."
If you want to live, you must drink. Those words ran through my mind as I slowly lapped the blood from his wound. Soon I was
actually biting into his flesh to have more of this sweet nectar. Never had I been filled with such pleasure from a drink!
Lemar could no longer hold on as he finally jerked his hand away from me. "Greedy thing," he mumbled. "Then on the other
hand, it always happens to the new ones."
My body was starting to change rapidly. I felt fangs appear as I felt again I was going to die. Lemar watched with a sudden
smirk. "Don't worry. It is your human self that is dying, not you," he said calmly. "This will end also."
He was right, for as soon as it ended it had stopped. I slowly stood up and wondered if everything was a dream. Maybe it's
nothing, I thought to myself.
"This is real," Lemar suddenly spoke. "I know what you think and you can read a human or vampire mind as well. But this
power has not yet developed in you yet, for if it had you would not have been surprised." For some reason, I understood what he
meant (and to this day, I still don't understand how I knew). Now I had the power of immortality, but how was I to use it?
Lemar smiled as he placed a brief kiss on my lips again. "Now that you are a living god, you must surrvive off of blood.
Whether it is human or not is up to you," he said calmly after the kiss ended. "Don't worry about the concept of the sun. Since
you were raised in this era, your new flesh has become immune to the sun. There is one more thing I must tell you." His tone
changed to a dark one as he spoke. "Tell no one of what has happened. Otherwise you will pay."
He suddenly waved his hand slightly and made a type of strage looking portal appear. "We will meet again Quatre
Rabera Winner on the Day of the Blood Moon," he whispered as he steped through. Just as quickly as he appeared, now he was gone.
I shook my head in confusion. What will I do now? I wondered to myself as I saw what time it was. 8:30pm. It had only been
fifteen minutes since he came. Suddenly remembering Duo, I gathered my wits as quickly as I could and nearly broke into a run
towards Duo's house. Little did I know of the "true power" of the gift the dark stranger had blessed me with.

AN: I appologize for taking so long to write the next chapter. I was really busy with school plus I had a huge case of
writer's block for a long time.
