Sister Vamp-Part Four

YESH!! Weekend's over...I know it sounds weird, but on weekends I hardly write anything. And I will say that today I started work on my fic Truth or Dare, chapter one of it should be up tomorrow...I guess. It's just about--nah, I won't tell, it'll ruin the first chapter. Well, it's in first person, there's some randomness involved, a lot of weird thougths in the main characters head. I will say it takes place about a week after Darren's "death". If you want to find out about more of my upcoming fics email me at or check for a vague description in my profile near the bottom along with my other upcoming stuff. I'm probably going to start putting some of my poetry on to but that's not too important...BUT...theme songs are!! I do have the theme for the Sister Vamp version of Lian, and her theme song is Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Greenday. If you have any song suggestions, email or include in review, I need one for Aldra, Lilia and Kurda. And when one or two of my new characters comes in, they'll need themes. So, be all angsty and experiment with songs for various characters. I also need a theme for the relationship between Kurda and Lian in both stories and individual ones for the two for in General Cartography. Sorry, I'm all hyper I just had some chocolate jacked up with caffine and sugar so I'm all twitchy whilst I write this...Heh, I said 'whilst'. Anyways, I think y'all should just curl up with a bucket on funny smelling popcorn and watermelon sour patch and stick your gum under the movie theater chair and watch some person walk away with gum on their pants. I did that last night...Heh...ENJOY!! X3

Chapter Four:

Lilia brought Aldra and Lian into her house since the sun should have been coming up within the next two or three hours. Lian allowed Aldra and Lilia do some awkward reminiscing about some incident where Lilia had just been blooded. Lian tried to show interest but the insomnia was wearing off and she was nodding off.

At one point, Aldra said something offensive about Kurda which woke Lian up long enough to try and beat the hell out of him.

"YOU are not allowed to say mean things about Kurda!!" she snarled, attempting to stomp on Aldra's head.

"What'd you like me to say you accursed, damned bitch?" Aldra snapped.

"Anything! Just shut your mouth about Kurda!!" Lian growled. "You may be his brother but you didn't know him the way I did!"

Aldra got up from under Lian's foot. "Just because you're part vampaneze, you think you know more about Kurda, this is why I'm glad that Kurda's dead! The vampaneze thought they knew more about my brother than I did!"

"JUST SHUT UP!" Lian roared. "I knew Kurda for almost a year before I was blooded by him! I knew him for another six months until I left and was blooded as vampaneze, so you don't know him the way a human would!"

"Both of you!" Lilia shouted. The feuding vampires stopped. (A/N: Ever notice that this is a lot like Kagome and Inuyasha? Sorry but they ain't getting together, Lian's hooked on Kurda. X3) "I only knew Kurda for a short time too, but that's not getting me in the middle of this! Kurda's dead and it's neither of your fault! I admit I am outraged about his death and terribly diappointed, but, I'm not ranting!"

"How can I be sure you're not secretly on Aldra's side and plotting my death after the situation is resolved, hmmm?" Lian asked. Suddenly a grin of a dark purple vampaneze laughing filled her mind and disappeared as soon as it had shown up.

"Spoken like a true mad vampaneze..." Aldra hissed.

"Can it!" Lian returned.

"I can assure you, Ms. Lian," Lilia said. "I am on neither side here, I'm not of the destuction of vampires or humans and I am not of the side of your murder. I am neutral in this case. If I'm on any side, it's Kurda's and I find that is a side we can all agree on." (A/N: Love Psychedelico, she's rather well spoken isn't she? Hee hee ) Lian and Aldra who both had their backs to each other, both nodded in unison, but refused to speak together, it would have shown a bond between them which Lian (and Aldra) were sure they didn't have. If anything, there was a powerful, recently accquired hatred.

"Suppose you betrayed both of us?" Aldra said. "You may have been my assistant a few years ago, but assistants are known to rebel against their mentors. And that is where you have never have or will gain my trust."

"You don't trust anyone..." Lian coughed. "You didn't even trust your brother...But, you did trust the woman who was planning your death." Aldra drew a knife and held it to your neck.

"There is no possible way you'd be able to kill me in the designated amount of time before this is resolved by the remaining allies of Kurda and the vampaneze." Aldra hissed in her ear.

"Heh," Lian huffed. "I'm not the one planning your death...It was your fiancee's." Aldra started to dig the blade into Lian's neck.

"You wouldn't have known." Aldra said. "You didn't speak to her. You killed her without a chance of mercy."

"Aldra," Lilia said. "Put the knife away. Let Lian speak, she should be given her chance to include her word." Aldra withdrew the blade and tucked it into his belt.

"I give her five minutes, tops." he spat. "If you goes over by a second, this knife goes into her neck."

Lian smirked. "Aldra, I was in your fiancee's house before I saw her. I went into the basement, there were closets full of weapons used for vampiric annihilation. Weapons covering the walls and plans scattered on the floor. And on a tiny little table was a book, which I have, stating the ways to kill a vampire by the name of Aldra Smahlt." She took out the book and handed it to Aldra. "Look in it. It's a diary. She didn't love you, she was seducing you so she could kill you. And in the back is a list of vampires she had killed. She wanted to kill you."

Aldra was flipping through the pages, his face growing a deep red. "How could she?" he groaned. "It wasn't what she did that caused me to love her...It was just...her..."

"You see why I killed her?" Lian asked. "You were her current target, and I was next on the list. Kurda was on there as you can see but she crossed it out. The name's of the Princes, at least the one's I know, are on there."

"Lian..." Aldra said. "You're sure you didn't forge this?"

"Listen, I haven't written anything in almost eight years, my handwritting can't be that neat." Lian yawned. The sun was rising outside. It was probably six A.M.

"You two are free to use the basement." Lilia said heading over to a door in her kitchen. "I hate to tell you but I only have one coffin-"

"I don't sleep." Lian said. "I have had insomnia since Kurda died and I burned my hometown down."

"Alright..." Lilia said seeming to want to back away from Lian. "Then I still offer the basment to you since it's the only place in the house where the sun doesn't reach."

"Why do you keep a coffin in your basement?" Aldra asked.

"Passing vampires know me as an ally, I allow all passing vampires and vampaneze to spend a night here." Lilia said. "I know it's an easy way to get killed but, I'm trying to form alliances like Kurda. But I'm hoping this time it's different."

Aldra and Lian headed down to the basement after thanking Lilia for her hospitality. Lian allowed Aldra to take the coffin since she knew she wasn't going to sleep.

"What do you have against humans?" Aldra asked. Lian shrugged simple mindedly.

"It may just be the vampaneze blood in me, vampaneze always kill when drinking from humans so I guess that developed into a hatred for me." Lian explained.

"What happened to what you wanted to do with you life?" Aldra asked. "Didn't you really want to succeed in something when you were a human."

Lian smirked and started laughing. "Yes!" she fell over on to her side. "You'd laugh at it though. I know you would."

"Really?" Aldra said, resting his head in his hands. He gave Lian the grin Kurda had always given her. Lian's memory of Kurda and the cat situation flooded her mind, but was able to concentrate on Aldra this time.

"Cartography." she groaned. "Yeah I know, keep laughing-Wait, you're not laughing." Aldra shook his head.

"Kurda had me interested in it at one point in time. So I don't think it's very funny at all. How'd Kurda get you hooked?" Aldra said.

"He didn't, that's the point, I've always been fond of it." Lian yawned.

"Why is it that even though you're an insomniac, you're still exhausted." Aldra asked.

"I dunno." Lian said stretching out like a cat. "It might be because my mind and body want to sleep but my inner voice won't allow it."

"Why don't you try to sleep?" Aldra asked.

"I have."

"When was the last time you slept?" Aldra continued.

"Almost a year ago." Lian replied.

"Since when haven't you been able to sleep?"

"Since I found out Kurda was dead."

"Try." Aldra said. "Try because it's what Kurda'd want you to do."

"I will only if you promise to get in that god-damned coffin first." Lian said worriedly.

Aldra sat in the coffin and rested his head in his hands. "Horny are we?" he purred. Lian looked at him.

"You're creepy." she said. "Besides the only person I'd have sex with would be Kurda."

"Have you?" Aldra asked.

"Had what?"

"Sex."

"With who?"

"Kurda."

"What's it to you?"

"Kurda was my brother, I want to know."

"That's not good enough."

"Then what do you want me to say?"

"Why do you want to know if I've had sex with Kurda?"

"Because Kurda's my brother."

"That's too vague."

"C'mon, tell me!"

"Why!?"

"I want to know how to get laid while being a vampire!"

"It's easy, fall in love with a human."

"So, have you?"

"Have I what?"

"Had sex with Kurda!"

"..."

"Pleeeease?"

"You just want to have sex with me and want to know if Kurda got to me first."

"I never said that!"

"Sounds like it."

"Well...I admit that's true."

"You're the horny one."

"You sound it."

"I'm not."

"Answer my question."

"Fine..."

"And...?" (A/N: The anticipated question!! lol!)

"Yes."

"DAMNIT!"

Lian finally went to sleep that night, but only dreamed of Kurda. It wasn't like a normal dream. It was like she was being reached out to by Kurda after his death.

Lian was in her house...again...but she was still the half vampire, half vampaneze..."thing" she was now. She was lying on the floor of the living room, her cheapy furniture...Beautiful cheap, Salvation Army couch, dumpster chair...They still smell like the shrimp ramen she had spilled on it when she first got it.

"This is.......really weird......." Lian said. "This is........really, really weird." She got up and wandered the house.

Everything was in order...until she reached her bedroom. Kurda was sitting on her bed, staring at the floor. "Kurda?!" Lian gasped.

He turned and smiled at her. Kurda had several fresh stab wounds in his chest, but they weren't bleeding. "I've returned to where I was happiest."

Lian walked toward him and reached her hand to his face. Her fingers traced his vampaneze scars. He was solid. Lian jerked her hand away from Kurda and threw her arms around him. "Kurda..." she cried into his wounds. "You've been gone...for..." Kurda stroked her tinted red hair.

"I know, Lian..." he whispered. "You listened to Aldra, he knew you'd be able to see me in your sleep. You saved him from a most possible death of shame, so he decided to bring you happiness by making sure you did exactly what I would have wanted for you."

"Is this where I'll go everytime I sleep?" Lian asked through her tears.

"If you're thinking of me before you sleep." Kurda said. "I'm just glad you didn't climb into the coffin with Aldra..."

"Why?" Lian asked.

"He would have raped you." Kurda said with a smile. "That's my job." Lian laughed.

"Those injuries don't hurt, do they?" Lian asked.

"The dead feel no pain." Kurda said. "I will assure you, you may be dragged away from me at any point. That's how sleep works."

Lian looked at Kurda, the at the window to the left of her bed. The sun was shining brightly on to Kurda's back. "The sun's not hurting you..." she whispered.

He smiled. "I get to see the sun once again now that I'm as far as I can be from living." Kurda said, his deep eyes swelling with tears. "And what's better is that you get to see it too, with me, and you won't feel it either."

Lian didn't know what to do, neither did Kurda. Neither of them were even sure if Kurda was in Paradise or if he had been stranded on Earth. Whatever happened, it cause Lian to sleep again.
