Chapter Five: Jealousy's Revenge
§Anetka's POV§
Anetka angrily stepped into the Black Rose. It was really late at night, so it was mostly vampires. The closet human person there was the blood bonded Topaz. Ice had blood bonded her to himself long ago. She had helped Kenosha teach Anetka how to learn to be a vampire three hundred years ago. They had become best friends over the long years. They talked about everything together. She was sort of like a sister that Anetka never had. But tonight, she was too angry to talk to anyone, even Topaz. Anetka didn't even look up to see who all was there. She walked over to one of the back tables, sat down, and began to think. 'The way Rafael kissed her was unbelievable it seemed. That kiss was full of so much passion and lust. I would have never guessed that Rafael could be so passionate! Wait! Why am I still thinking about Rafael? Grr…look at how much power he has over me already and I haven't seen him that much yet! What is wrong with me? But when Rafael and I had just touched the tiniest bit, I felt something. I felt like I was connected to him in a romantic way almost. I can't quite figure it out!
"Have a bad night?" Topaz asked, as she was sitting down across from Anetka.
"Yea, just a little bit. How has your night been?" Anetka asked, not really interested.
"Probably better than yours. What happened?" Topaz questioned, with a concerned voice.
"Topaz look, I don't really want to talk about it. I've had a long and confusing night with Rafael and I am still trying to comprehend what all happened!" Anetka angrily stated.
"Ok, fine, I get your point. Just know I'll be here if you need to talk." Topaz pointed out and then stood up and walked back behind the bar. Anetka felt bad about pushing Topaz away, but she couldn't help it, especially since she isn't in her best mood. After a few minutes, she felt and heard Kenosha come in. He instantaneously went to the bar and sat down, as usual. She heard him and Topaz talking about something, probably telling him about her "not-in-my-best-mood" attitude. She didn't blame her for warning him either. After toning out Kenosha and Topaz's conversation, she began to think once again. 'What did this connection I had felt mean? It's not like I could actually love him anyway!'
"How would you know?" She heard Rafael ask. She didn't even notice him come in. Why would he come after her anyway? Rafael was the last person she would want to see, yet here he was, standing right in front of her. And he read her thoughts! She loathed when he did that!
"What do you want? Why did you come here?" Anetka asked him, in an angry tone.
"Answer my question." Rafael demanded, but in a low voice.
"Because…I, I don't know, ok!? I can't describe it!" Anetka answered, trying to sound angry.
"That's what I thought. So, you don't really have a reason to be ticked off at me. Well, that's interesting! I'm thinking I should tell you something, something that I never thought I could tell you. Maybe now, you would understand me." Rafael said to her. Anetka just nodded. She didn't trust herself to speak.
"Look, I started that fire three hundred years ago. That was not the first time I saw you. I had been spying on you for over a week by then." Rafael said, as he moved to sit down across from her. "I could never explain how I knew I loved you. I didn't know I loved you until I saw you walking toward the forest. Right then and there, I knew you were perfect for me." Rafael finished. Anetka was in shock. She couldn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. This vampire in front of her was the one that killed her parents, on purpose. What do you say to that!? Anetka did the only thing she could think of. She got up from her seat and left, slamming the doors on her way out. Rafael was yelling after her, but she didn't hear him. She just kept running and running until she was home.
§Rafael's POV§
"Damn it!!" Rafael angrily shouted. 'I knew that she was going to react that way, yet I tell her anyway! What was I thinking? I wasn't thinking! That was the problem. Damn it, damn it, damn it!! How am I going to show her that I love her if I tell her stories like that? Yea, that's a way to a girl's heart! Smart Rafe, smart! What am I going to do now?'
§Ash's POV§
When Anetka and Rafael were still talking, Ash had walked in. Neither of them saw nor felt him though. He had stood back in the shadows of the night club. Kenosha had noticed him something and was wondering what he was doing in here. Ash rarely went into Black Rose unless it was important. Ash kind of got caught in a daze and didn't notice Anetka run out the doors. By the time he had snapped out of it, Anetka was half way home. Some reason or another, Ash knew where Anetka lived. So, he decided to beat her home by just willing himself to Anetka's room. 'Rafael's going to kill me!' But he put the thought behind him when Anetka walked into her room and saw him sitting on her bed. She looked beautiful at that moment. Ash couldn't keep his eyes off her, or say anything. In fact, they were both speechless. The silence seemed like it could go on forever, until Anetka finally broke it.
"What are you doing here?" Anetka asked finally.
"I just thought I would come comfort you after that horrible conversation with Rafael!" Ash explained, with a playful grin.
"And how do you plan on doing that?" Anetka asked in an almost sad tone of voice.
"Let's just see who is better!" Ash uttered to himself. And before Anetka could say anything, Ash's lips were on Anetka's. He craved her. He had been alone for so long and his brother didn't help. He knew that Rafael would kill him if he found out what he was doing behind his back. But Ash was stronger, he always had been. What he couldn't figure out was why she wasn't stopping him. In fact, it almost seemed like she enjoyed this. It was weird, yet cool.
"Why… can't…I…stop?" Anetka asked in between kisses, not caring what the answer was. "I…shouldn't…be…doing…this!" Anetka continued again, in between kisses, still not caring. Ash suddenly pulled back.
"Why shouldn't you be doing this? Are you seeing someone I don't know about?" Ash seriously asked.
"Well, I am not seeing anyone; it's just that…I think I shouldn't be doing this; especially if you just want someone!" Anetka answered, getting angry.
"Maybe I am lonely and need someone! What are you going to do about it?" Ash curiously asked. Anetka didn't answer. She shot a bolt of power at him and disappeared.
"Damn it! Now she is probably going to go tell Rafael or somebody about it! Damn it!" He shouted aloud. 'I'm dead, again!'
§Rafael's POV§
Rafael spent hours upon hours in Black Rose, trying to poison himself. It didn't work though; nothing worked on a vampire, except triste witch's blood. And he wasn't that desperate! He finally got done sulking in the middle of the afternoon the next day. He was still pissed at himself for telling Anetka, but he decided to go home and get some rest. He had a bash to go to tonight anyway. In fact, he had a plan!
§Anetka's POV§
Anetka was so ticked at Rafael and now Ash! She so wanted to strangle them both. She was currently in Blackness, a night club and bar in the secret city the vampires called Twilight, which was in the state of New Hampshire. She only comes here when she is really ticked off because everyone leaves her alone since they don't know her. Anetka has always had a very strong aura, which she usually hides. But when she is really angry, she unleashes it and no one even approaches her. She wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone anyway!
"Surprise, surprise! What do we have here?" Some one curiously said behind Anetka.
"Well, if it isn't my old pal, Slasher! Do you want something?" Anetka asked, without turning around.
"I should be asking you that question, Anetka. You are the one on my turf!" Slasher exclaimed.
"I am pissed. What do you want?" Anetka asked again, her anger rising.
"How long are you going to try and ignore it? After all, that night really did happen. There is something between us, Anetka." Slasher said. "You can't hide it; not anymore." Slasher continued, after a long pause.
"I don't know what you are talking about. There is absolutely nothing between us, except friendship." Anetka denied. Slasher had been behind her and now he walked up to face Anetka. Then, he let her read his thoughts. 'How I long to hold her in my arms; to kiss her and never let go. How I yearn for the day that I stop time and have her with me forever!' His thoughts poured into Anetka's mind. 'How I wish she was mine!' As the last thought flowed into her, she froze. 'He really was telling the truth,' Anetka thought to herself. 'Finally I meet someone who isn't lying; someone I can trust,' She continued to think to herself. Then she realized that Slasher was still staring at her.
"So, why don't we get out of here? Let's go find a cozier place!" Anetka heard Slasher say, which snapped her back into the present.
"Where is this place that you have in mind?" Anetka softly asked, suddenly in a romantic mood.
"I was thinking my house or my room, or more comfy, my bed perhaps!" Slasher replied, with a playful grin. To her surprise, she let him bring her to his house, or more specifically, his bed in his room.
§Slasher's POV§
Finally, he had the perfect revenge on Rafael. He took her away from him three hundred years ago and now he finally gets to claim her. Of course, if she found out his revenge plan, he'd be dead! The only problem he had was the fact that he actually liked her. 'I think I have fallen for her!' This was no longer for revenge. It was now for love. Slasher and Anetka had been making out on the bed, but stopped to catch their breath.
"I love you, Anetka." Slasher whispered. His voice was soft, but could be heard.
"What?" Anetka shouted.
"I love you." Slasher answered again.
"How can love me? You aren't lying are you? This isn't something to get back at Rafael or anyone else, is it?" Anetka angrily rambled on. Slasher was barely listening to her. He finally shut her up by kissing her. He loved her so much. He had never felt like this. He didn't even know he could feel this way. They clung to each other the rest of the night and the day. Neither Slasher nor Anetka spoke again, or came up for breath.
§Dawn's POV§
Dawn was in Blackness when Anetka appeared. She didn't look to happy. 'What did my brother do now? Will he ever learn not to piss Anetka off?' Dawn made sure she stayed back in the shadows, since Anetka was up at the bar. She wasn't there long when Dawn noticed Slasher had shown up. She was surprised to see him go over and talk to Anetka. She moved closer so she could hear their conversation. 'They obviously know each other,' Anetka said to herself. 'But how can those two know each other? I haven't seen Anetka in here before. And what happened between them?' Dawn was very confused. Their conversation was soon over, considering they had just disappeared. If would be smart to tell Rafael as soon as possible. 'He is going to be so pissed!' She decided to check Black Rose first. She saw a few vampires, along with some humans. She didn't see Rafael in there though. She was hoping Topaz would know.
"Topaz, have you seen Rafael? I need to talk to him." Dawn asked.
"Rafael…umm, he was in here all of yesterday. He left earlier this afternoon. He said he needed to sleep before the bash tonight. Where is it anyway?" Topaz asked, once she finished her story.
"Thanks for the information. I think the bash is at Vincent's house. I'll see you there." Dawn didn't even wait for Topaz to respond. She knew where Rafael was now; in his room sulking. 'He always does that,' Dawn thought to herself.
"Rafael, get your ass up!" Dawn yelled at her brother, as soon as she got to his room. Rafael jumped right out of bed.
"What, what, what?" Rafael exclaimed, while getting himself off the floor.
"I love your pajamas by the way!" Dawn said with a playful grin. Rafael stood in the middle of the room, in his boxers only. He looked around for his pants and then pulled them on.
"What do you want?" Rafael asked, annoyed.
"I just thought I'd drop by and bring you some news about Anetka!" Dawn playfully replied.
"What news about Anetka?" Rafael asked, now in the impatient mood.
"She went up to the night club Blackness in Twilight. Slasher found her. They talked like they knew each other well. After a few minutes, they disappeared, together. I have this big feeling that they went to his house, more specifically, to his bed! But that's just a guess." Dawn finished with an evil grin. She loved pissing him off!
"What? How could you let this happen? I changed her, so Slasher couldn't change her. She will not fall in love with him. I will not allow it!" Rafael exclaimed.
"It's not like you can stop her from doing something you don't like. She does have a mind of her own you know!" Dawn shouted at him.
"I know that. But that doesn't necessarily mean I can't get back at her!" Rafael said with a playful grin. "I just need to find someone that is better than Anetka." Rafael finished.
"Help us now!" Dawn uttered, while looking up at the ceiling with her palms up.
"I just need your help a little. Do you still remember where Slasher lives?" Rafael asked.
"Umm, I think I do. Why?" Dawn curiously asked.
"Because I need you to go to his house and invite him to Vincent's bash. Make sure that Anetka is there when you invite him though." Rafael finished at last and left before his sister could argue.
§Rafael's PPV§
"Vincent!" Rafael yelled when he arrived at Vincent's house. He just came from talking to his little sister. He loathed when she pissed him off.
"Rafael! How are you?" Jade asked, as soon as she was downstairs.
"Oh beautiful Jade! I'm perfectly wonderful. Where's Vincent?" Rafael impatiently asked. 'I'm getting tired of all these women,' he thought to himself.
"I heard that, mister!" Jade exclaimed.
"Well, if it isn't Rafael. What brings you to my house this early?" Vincent asked, standing at the top of the stairs.
"I need to ask you something. This bash tonight, is there any ladies coming that are better than Anetka?" Rafael asked.
"Better than Anetka? Are you crazy? Why would you want anybody better than Anetka? You two are perfect for each other. She just hasn't realized it yet." Vincent continued.
"Look, I am just trying to get back at Anetka. See, Dawn saw Anetka talking to Slasher in a very friendly way and then they left together. She has this feeling that they are 'making love!'" Rafael spat. "Why would she want to make love to him?" Rafael questioned.
"Was Anetka in Black Rose or what?" Jade asked once he was done.
"No, she was up in Twilight. Why do you ask?" Rafael curiously asked.
"Ok, she was pissed at you for kissing her at the bash the other night. Where did she go after that? Didn't you follow her?" Jade continued with her 20 questions.
"Well, she was in Black Rose. But she got pissed at me even more since I told her the story of how and why I killed her parents and changed her. Then she obviously ran off to Blackness!" Rafael answered.
"You are such an asshole! Why the hell did you tell her that story? Of course she is going to be pissed at you for that. Now I understand why she ran off to Slasher!" Jade shouted at him.
"What? Why?" Rafael demanded.
"Hello! Is it no obvious for you? She went off to Slasher to get back at you. And plus it is far away from you. Men!" Jade finished and walked away and back up the stairs.
