Aisling: I'm back. Sorry this has taken so long to update. Some bastard reported my last fic (I've never been treated so rudely on this site, and whoever the moron who reported me is can kiss their own ass because I won't be defeated. Know this, no matter what you throw at me, I will never let you or your flaming army drag me down with you. If you don't like something, BACK THE $& off!!)
Yami: 0.0;; You're not mad at all, are you? (Is being sarcastic)
Aisling: Oh no, not at all. Anyways, I'm gonna make this author's note short this time because if I don't, I'll say something that I'll regret. Ryou-chan?
Ryou: Aisling-chan does not own Star Wars, but anything original is hers.
Aisling: Thanks Ree-chan. Now, on with the fic! Oh, btw, one more thing. I'm still wanting people to vote on whether I should keep the original pairing of QuixCelestia, or eventually change it to AdrionxCelestia. And does anyone want a lemon/lime scene? It can be consensual or non, I don't really care which, and it can be between either pairing. (QxC or AxC) And if I do put one in, no one report me or I'm gonna be really pissed off. Okay, that's about it, so I'll shut up now.
Chapter 7: Captured Again
Celestia had no idea where she was, or how long she had even been running. All she knew was that she had to get farther away from the one who had broken her heart and shattered her spirit. So she kept running blindly through the darkness, quickly becoming more and more lost by the moment, as everything had long-since started to look exactly the same to her.
But even an adrenaline rush fueled on by a broken heart cannot last forever. Celestia stumbled, falling to the hard ground, landing in a trembling, sobbing heap. Something inside of her was yelling at her to keep going, but she ignored it. Instead, she merely stayed where she had fallen, too exhausted and forlorn to move anymore.
Her entire body shivered almost violently, her arms and face covered in scratches and cuts from the branches of trees and bushes that had seemed to lash out at her, and her dress was torn even more than it had been when Qui-Gon had found her earlier that night, from being caught one-too-many times on the aforementioned foliage of the forest that she had run into nearly an hour ago. The very forest that now surrounded her on all sides, seemingly trying to claim the distraught girl that now lay in its invisible clutches for itself.
As thoughts of Qui-Gon came into her mind, she sobbed openly, her lonely, heart-wrenching cries reaching the stars above. But even the beauty of the sky could not bring her any solace tonight. Nothing could.
How had everything gone so wrong? They had been so happy together. But now Qui-Gon acted as though he hated her. She let out another mournful, broken cry and turned her haunted lavender eyes to the stars, looking for comfort and finding nothing more than a silence that seemed to mock the girl.
"Why, Qui-Gon? What's happened between us? You told me that you loved me, but was it all just a lie? Or do you blame me for what has happened to you? Is that why you seem to hate me?" Celestia whispered to the darkness that surrounded her.
Just as she had expected, she received no answer. Guilt and despair flooded over her and she let her head fall to rest on her pale arms against the cold ground. She cried harder now, her entire body wracked with sobs. The wind picked up, tugging gently at her hair and clothes, causing her to start shivering.
Celestia knew that it was all her fault that Qui-Gon had been turned into a vampire. If she hadn't gone outside and gotten herself kidnapped, he wouldn't have had to come rescue her and none of this would have ever even happened in the first place. But it had happened because of her stupidity, and now Qui-Gon resented her for being the cause of his situation. Now she was cold, lost and alone out in the middle of nowhere, with no one to turn to and knowing that the one she loved more than anything in the universe hated her and would never forgive her. She had never felt more like she had wanted to curl up and die than she did in the moment he had been turned into a vampire, all because of her.
She shook her head as she felt the last of her strength fade away. She closed her eyes, crystalline tears still slipping down her pale, ivory cheeks. She slowly slipped into unconsciousness as she cried herself to sleep, completely unaware of the fact that she was being watched.
Her stalker slipped silently out of his hiding place in the surrounding foliage. He walked over to her and knelt down next to her. He ran his hand gently along her fiery hair, and it seemed as though the expression on his face was almost gentle if it hadn't been for the elongated fangs that were just barely visible.
"Poor little pretty one, abandoned and betrayed by the one you loved more than anything. He didn't deserve an angel like you and I won't let him hurt you anymore," the stranger whispered.
Celestia didn't reply. She shifted slightly in her sleep, making a soft noise that was almost like a sigh, then went totally still. The stranger gathered Celestia into his arms, holding her close to him protectively, bridal-style, and stood up gracefully. He glanced around, making certain that he was not being followed, then took off into the darkness with his little crimson-haired treasure tucked safely in his gentle embrace.
To Be Continued. Sorry about the long wait on this chapter, but like I said, someone reported my last fic and I was denied uploading access for a while. I don't even know if it'll work to upload this one now, but I'm gonna give it a shot. I know this chapter was kind of short, but my muses haven't really been helpful much lately. And in case anyone is wondering, the one who found her when she cried herself to sleep is the same vampire who kidnapped her before. I tried to show his softer side here, but I'm not sure it worked that well. You'll get to see more of it in later chapters, if my muses decide to cooperate with me, though. And I still need people to vote on whether or not I should make this a QuixCeles or AdrionxCeles pairing. Well, I'll be quiet now. Please R&R! And no mindless flames, please. Ja ne minna-san!
