Chapter Six: Letter of Betrayal
§Anetka's POV§
She had spent a whole twenty four hours with Slasher, again. 'How do I get myself into these situations? Why can't everyone just leave me alone for once?'
"Slasher?" Anetka asked, curious to see if he was awake.
"What?" Slasher mumbled.
"What's going on between us?" Anetka asked, scared by what the answer might be.
"To tell you the truth, I really don't know myself. Anetka, before you met Rafael for the first time, did you ever see anyone outside you window at night?" Slasher questioned.
"Umm…I don't remember. Why do you ask?" Anetka wondered.
"It was me who stood at your window all night to make sure you were safe. He took you away from me." Slasher whispered.
"Slash, what are you talking about?" Anetka asked, getting scared again.
"Before Rafael even knew you existed, I sat at your window every night for at least a month. I had planned to change you that night you met Rafael. So, he took you away from me, you see." Just then Dawn appeared.
"What do you want Dawn?" Slasher asked, his anger rising.
"Not happy to see me? Awe, that's just too bad! Oh well, I'm over it!" Dawn exclaimed with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Slasher impatiently asked.
"Just came to invite you to Vincent's bash tonight. He and Rafael want you there." Dawn stated and then vanished.
"I hate it when she does that without warning." Slasher exclaimed.
§Rafael's POV§
"Hello milady," Rafael said as he bowed the lady before him.
"Yes milord?"
"Would you care to share this dance with me?"
"It would be my pleasure, milord!"
"Please, call me Rafael."
"If you insist. I'm known as Lady Kathrine." Rafael nodded his response. They danced the night away, considering the night was young to them. The king, his father, announced the grand ball was over for the night, but tomorrow would bring more fun for all.
"Lady, when will I see you again?"
"I can't rightly say, Rafael. It will be some day soon, I hope." Lady Kathrine said, before she left.
"Good-night milady," Rafael said, not knowing that would be the last time he would hear her speak.
Rafael jumped straight out of bed. 'Where did that come from? Why did I have that dream?' That was the night he died. Lady Kathrine had been his first kill; all thanks the Kamet who changed him. Rafael was now sitting up in his bed thinking about his next move with Anetka. 'Maybe I should send her a letter, with a nice poem with it? Hey, that is a good idea, once I think about it!' So, Rafael went off to write a letter and a poem to Anetka. It was a lot harder than he thought it would be. It took him at least an hour to make the letter sound perfect. Then it took him another 45 minutes or so on the poem. After he was finally done with that, he took a shower and tried the pick out something to wear. 'I want a shirt that makes me look good!' He went with tight, black pants and this skin tight, fish-net, button up black tank top that showed off his perfect muscles. He then tied his long hair into a pony tail and laced up his boots. He grabbed his leather jacket, put the letter in his pocket and was headed to Vincent's.
§Ash's POV§
"So, who am I suppose to be looking for?" Ash asked Vincent. Ash had been at the bash for a while now. Vincent was making him look for this certain person for some unknown reason.
"There is this girl named Kathrine, which is supposed to be here. She'll be wearing some type of black, old fashion type clothing. You can't miss her," Vincent answered.
"And why is that again?"
"Because Rafael wants to make Anetka jealous. In my personal opinion, I think them two should be together by now."
"Is Anetka here yet?" Ash asked, completely ignoring the last part of the sentence.
"I don't know. Go ask Angel; he should know." Vincent finished before stalking off to go find Jade.
"Love, I hate it." Ash muttered to himself. 'I'm a good guy. Why can't I find love? Who cares if my brother had always been the sensitive and caring one?'
"Angel!" Ash shouted out.
"What Ash?"
"Have you seen Anetka yet tonight?"
"No, but I can feel her coming soon enough."
"How soon?"
"Maybe in an hour or so. Why do you wanna know?"
"I'm not the one curious. That would be Rafael."
"Oh, that makes more sense then. I'll contact you…" Ash was gone before Angel could even finish his sentence. 'I see my friend has found Kathrine,' Ash thought to himself, while looking at Rafael and Kathrine.
"Rafael, can I talk to you for a moment." Ash said, pulling Rafael along behind him.
"What?"
"Anetka should be here in about an hour, according to Angel. He said he'll contact me when she arrives."
"Good work! I'll talk to you later on." Rafael said before he walked back over to Kathrine. 'Well, the good part of the bash isn't going to start for at least an hour. What am I going to do for that long? Wait, I know what I need to do,' Ash thought, licking his lips.
§Anetka's POV§
Anetka had no idea who the vampire that just disappeared from the room was. 'Or at least I think she is a vampire!'
"That was Dawn." Slasher said, as if he read her thoughts. "She is Rafael's sister and my ex-girlfriend. She can get annoying sometimes."
"Oh, ok. Are you going to the bash?" Anetka asked curiously.
"I might as well go. I haven't seen Rafael in a while. Maybe I should kill him so I wouldn't have to see his face again!" Slasher angrily exclaimed, sounding very serious.
"You can't kill him. It wouldn't be fun if I didn't have him to annoy me. I guess that's why I kind of like him around sometimes." Anetka admitted.
"Are you saying you actually like him, Anetka?" Slasher asked, disbelieving what she had just said.
"I guess I do like him, in a way. Besides the fact that he killed my parents, he hasn't really done anything bad to me. I mean, he made me part of the undead world."
"Get out!" Slasher growled at Anetka.
"What?" Anetka was bewildered.
"You heard me. I thought there was something between us, but I was wrong. You really do love him; you just won't admit it. Now get out of my house!"
"Fine, if that is what you want!" Anetka turned and stormed out of the house, making as much noise as she could. 'How could I think he was different? How could I trust him? He's just the same as every other guy!' Anetka disappeared and returned to her house. 'I will go to this bash. I will make every guy that's there want me, crave me!' Anetka now stood in the door way, confused. There was a black rose on her pillow along with an envelope, which she assumed that there was a letter inside. She walked over to her bed and picked up the envelope. She pulled out the letter and read what it said.
My Dearest Anetka,
It's been years and years since I have set my eyes upon your so wonderfully beautiful face. You are probably just skipping over all this and reading the point to this letter. The only point of this letter is to tell you that I still love you. I always will. I know you hate me and probably always will too. I don't want you to hate me. The only reason I killed your parents in that fire was because I didn't want you to try and go back to them after I had changed you. I tried to tell my parents what I had been turned into and I ended up killing them. Only my sister, Dawn, understood it all. I hope I will see you at the bash tonight. Hopefully you come alone; Slasher doesn't deserve you. Stay away from him. He's trouble. Good-bye for now.
Love you always,
Rafael
Anetka didn't know what to say. He actually did love her. She turned the letter over to the back and began reading some more.
The night was chilly,
The fire was warm.
His way was won,
Forevermore.
The girl came to the house,
Confused and lost.
She walked toward the darkness,
Knowing nothing was wrong.
The bloodlust was strong,
He needed to feed.
The girl was beautiful,
Just what he'd need.
He came from the shadows,
It was all blackness.
What did he want?
She did nothing wrong.
Her face came into view;
He wanted her,
She was his,
Forevermore.
Her flesh was broken,
The blood was warm.
Before she knew what was happening,
She fell into a black abyss.
Next thing she knew,
Dark warm blood,
Poured down her throat.
Who was he?
He knew what he had to do;
Take her hunting,
Then disappear. His dreams,
Were forever dashed.
Years and years later,
Here she was;
Right in front of his face,
Beautiful as ever.
He craved the kiss,
He took the chance.
She stormed off,
Just like him, years before.
Anetka knew what she had to do. She took a shower, trying to wash off everything that happened within the last 24 hours with Slasher. She could not believe she let Slasher manipulate her again! That was the second time she went to bed with him in the last month. 'What was I thinking?' Once she got out of the shower, she decided she needed the perfect outfit to show off to Rafael. She chose a black leather halter-belly top with her very, very short black leather skirt. She had to look perfect for him. 'I never thought I would care about Rafael like this!' Anetka was very surprised she was feeling these feelings for him. She grabbed her precious black leather duster and was off to make guys jealous and find Rafael.
§Rafael's POV§
"Why do you look so very familiar to me?" Rafael asked Kathrine.
"Do you remember your father?" Kathrine asked, trying to make him remember her.
"Yes, he was the king. Why do you ask?"
"So, you remember the night when your father gave you a grand ball for your safe return?"
"Lady Kathrine?"
"Yes milord?"
"How is this possible? I killed you when I was changed." Rafael stared disbelievingly.
"You didn't take all my blood. Kamet wouldn't let you take enough blood to kill me. He just let you believe I was dead. Later that night, he changed me. He's strong; very strong. He is furious at you too." Kathrine explained.
"Why? Was it because I willed myself to a more important place in the middle of our conversation?" Rafael said with a grin.
"Are you telling me that going to your room to sleep was more important?"
"Precisely!" Rafael playfully replied. "How about we continue what we started?"
"What are saying?" The confused Kathrine asked.
Rafael just laughed. "Would you like to dance?"
"Oh! I would love to dance with you."
ten minutes later
"How about we go back to my place?" Rafael was beginning to remember what he felt for her over 500 years ago. He didn't love her, but he craved her; which is sometimes even worse. Kathrine's response was to start nibbling on Rafael's ear. 'I'll take that as a yes!' Rafael felt he should tell Vincent where he was, just in case something very, very important came up. 'Vincent, I'm taking Kathrine back to my place. Only contact me if something greatly important is happening.' He hoped Vincent got that since he didn't respond. They willed themselves to Rafael's place. Rafael threw off Kathrine's top off and started on her skirt. He felt her un-button his tank top. Soon enough both of them were naked under his sheets, making love.
§Vincent's POV§
Vincent just got done talking to Ash, his brother. He annoyed him sometimes. 'He really needs to get his own girl!' Vincent jogged up the stairs and saw Jade talking to Rafael's sister, Dawn. 'Oh, how much I love her!' Vincent had just recently been reunited with his lover. He was so glad she changed her mind so quickly. Vincent sneaked up behind Jade and wrapped his arms around her. 'I'm getting bored fast. And you know what that means!' Dawn had just left to give them some privacy. Jade didn't even respond. She led him to their room and jumped on the bed. Vincent came more slowly behind. He climbed up on the bed and started to kiss her.
"What about our guests?" Jade asked in between kisses.
"They can entertain themselves." Vincent said has he pulled off Jade's shirt.
"Whatever you say sweetie!" Vincent was in the middle of making love to Jade, when he heard Rafael in his head. He heard something about him going back to his place or something like that. He really wasn't paying attention. He had more important things on his mind.
§Anetka's POV§
"Angel! How are you tonight?" Anetka shouted at him as she came up the walk way. She was in such a good mood tonight. She thought nothing could ruin her good mood.
"Anetka! I'm just fine. How about you? Are things back to normal with Rafael and you?"
"They won't after tonight!" Anetka said with a playful grin.
"What Anetka?" Angel asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Let's just say I'm not mad at him anymore." Anetka smiled. "Now, I have to go find the handsome one!" Anetka said, referring to Rafael. Anetka spotted Ash right off the bat; he was flirting with some girl she never met. She looked for about 5 minutes downstairs and failed to find Rafael. 'Maybe he is upstairs!' She saw Dawn sitting on the bottom step.
"Hey Dawn! What's going on? You okay?" Anetka asked, trying to sound sympathetic.
"Hi Anetka. I'm just having a rough night. Are you looking for someone? You seem to have a confused look on your face."
"Have you seen Rafael? I need to talk to him."
"Why would you want to talk to him? I thought that's what you had Slasher for? Oh wait! You just make love to him!" Dawn angrily exclaimed.
"Look, I understand why you are angry at me. I mean, you are Rafael's sister and Slasher's ex-girlfriend. Slasher is very manipulative. I just found something out about Rafael that made me realize I care about him. Now, do you know where I can find Rafael?"
"The last time I saw him, he was talking to some girl. I lost him after that. Vincent might know where he is, but he's busy with Jade at the moment." Anetka continued up the stairs, not responding to Dawn's statement. She needed to find Vincent. The first door she tried did not have Vincent in there. She burst into the second bedroom and saw Vincent asleep with his head resting on Jade's chest. 'They look so cute together. I want that.'
"Vincent, wake up!" Anetka screamed at the top of her lungs.
"What?" Vincent jolted up from his slumber and sat up in bed. "Anetka, what do you want? I was comfortable."
"I see that. Do you know where Rafael disappeared to?"
"Hold on, let me think. All I remember him saying is that he'll be back at his place, I think."
"Thanks Vincent. Sorry about interrupting you." Anetka ran out the door and then appeared in Rafael's house. She was in the downstairs living room. She sensed him upstairs in his room. 'Why is he in his room? It's the middle of the night. He should be partying!' She walked up the stairs and into his room. What she saw there was stunning. Rafael and some girl were making love. She ran down the stairs and out the door. She didn't stop until she was in her room. 'Why did I let myself be tricked by Rafael of all people? He will never change. What was I thinking?' She laid on her bed sobbing. How did she let herself believe him? Anetka was weeping so much, she didn't even hear him come in. She was almost fast asleep from crying.
§Rafael's POV§
Rafael was in the middle of making love, he barely heard someone come in. He heard the person come up the stairs and into his room. He couldn't tell who it was before they ran out of the house. Then it came to him. 'Anetka. I am so stupid!' He could tell Kathrine was getting tired, so he stopped and vanished from the room. He re-appeared in the downstairs of Anetka's house. He carefully walked up the stairs. He walked into her room and saw her asleep from crying. He felt so guilty. 'What was I thinking?' He picked her up from the bed and moved her to the floor for just a minute. He made down her bed and then carried her to bed. He kissed her on the forehead and left the house. 'I need to talk to Vincent.'
§A/N: so, tell me what you think? I really need to know if I should continue or just stop? If you guys want me to continue, I have a lot of ideas. I have already started the next chapter. Just tell me in a review!! Thanx! JCS§
