/Yami speaking/
(Pharaoh speaking)
Chapter ThirteenEntering the heat of the dance floor Yami waved his way through the multitude towards where he could see his comrades sitting at a small table in the corner. His gaze drifted around as he walked, girls danced on small circular platforms that came up from the floor, while along the southern wall there was a large bar stand serving blood mixed with what ever other type of beverage. Ignoring the gazes that he received he casually sat down in the empty chair between Seto and Blade, "there is ten guards along the way," he stated, "otherwise it'll be easy to find your way there".
Nodding West turned his gaze up to the area on the wall where they could see into the room in which Abon was sitting. Signalling towards him with an incline of his head he scowled, "what can you say about bozo up there," he asked.
Shrugging Yami kept his gaze on West's face, "so far either he believes that I am here on a surprise visit, or he's playing along and knows more than we want him to".
"I'd prefer the former," stated Joey taking a drink of his red wine with a hit of blood, making a disgusted face he grunted out, "that was sour".
The group laughed briefly before Blade rose to his feet, "We should continue," he said simply, nodding in agreement they rose to their feet.
/Atemu/
(Yes, I am ready )
/Good luck/
(Same to you)
The spirit left Yami's body and appeared in front of him, a smile on his handsome features, "take care little one," he advised. Smiling back Yami waved at him before turning towards the rather large stage beside him. A young vampiress potted him and came over to him extending her hand to him in invitation to come on stage. Smiling he allowed her to help him on and willingly took the microphone that she held out to him.
The musicians smiled, "what song will we be playing your majesty," they asked.
Yami smiled, "Slept too long". The group smiled in pleasure and started the eerie song. His body began to sway slightly with the music and with one last glance towards his friends he began the song.
Walking
Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping
Hating
Things I cant bear
Did you think it's cool
To walk right up
And take my life and fuck it up
Well did you
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
As the vampires began to move to the music Atemu led the group through the far door and out into a short hallway, their only lighting was the faint blue light that drifted down upon them from the roof. Taking out their guns and assembling them they followed the spirit around the corner. Immediately spotting four of the ten guards they clicked the silencers on their guns and fired, each one went down, the veins in their body glowing a blue shade like the chemical. Stepping over them they turned into another hallway.
Spotting the last ones they fired taking them down. Blade and Seto took up the job of hiding the bodies in a room while Atemu took West and Joey into the armoury. They were stunned to see so many weapons, mostly guns and swords. Taking out the small explosives that they had brought they placed them where they wanted them and then transferred the bodies into the room.
Leaving it Seto took out the detonator, going back around the corner he pressed the button, the loud roaring sound of the explosion echoed through the halls, but it was dampened by the music. Now all they had to do was wait for Yami to come to them and lead them out of the building.
I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart too
How'd it get this far
Playing games with this old heart
I've killed a million petty souls
But I couldn't kill you
I've slept so long without you
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
Opening his crimson eyes as the song ended he smiled triumphantly, more than half of the vampires in the room lay upon the ground, their mouths soiled with blood, and their eyes dull and open showing death. Those that survived stared around them in shock, as did the musicians.
Glancing up at Abon he gave him a small salute before pulling out the guns from his pockets, assembling them at breakneck speed and fired at the remaining vampires in the room. Each went down, their veins glowing blue, and their bodies twisting and groaning in pure agony. Abon snapped to his feet and stared down angrily, Yami only waved at him before bounding off the stage and striding towards the door that his comrades had left through.
Suddenly the doors to the dance floor burst open, spinning around Yami felt himself pale, Valick strode in with at least twenty of his elite guards behind him, Scarlet was at his side. Keeping his fear in check Yami pointed his guns at the vampire, "Stay away from me," he yelled out.
"And why would I do that Yami, I'm surprised to see that your comrades left you alone in here, they've left you vulnerable," said the vampire king snapping his fingers. Yami growled as the elite guards took flight and landed behind him, blocking him from reaching the door.
/Atemu get back here/ he snapped.
(Why, is something wrong?)
/Valick is here, and I know for a fact that I cannot handle him, Scarlet, and twenty elite guards on my own/
(Fuck) was all the spirit said before blocking off the link.
Keeping his weapons steady Yami stared loathingly at Valick as he advanced on him, "tell me Yami, what do you think of the idea of coming back with me willingly, thus allowing your friends to leave here unharmed," the vampire suggested stopping about a meter away from Yami, the boy's gun firm against his torso.
"It's both tempting and not," Yami stated, he needed to stall to give his comrades time to get here before things got entirely out of hand.
"I knew you would say that," Valick chuckled, "but also you did not expect this to happen," he said snapping his hand forward; Yami hitting it away stopped it from reaching its destination.
"Actually Valick, I was expecting it, you are so predictable," he stated making the gun known, "now I would not fuck with me right now, these bullets are filled with a UV chemical that will easily kill you with two shots, and I have two guns". Growling Valick glared heatedly at the young vampire only for the door behind the vampires to burst open and the Blue Eyes squadron came out, guns drawn out and ready to fire. It distracted Yami and he turned his gaze towards them, seeing this Valick wrenched the guns out of the vampire's hands and pulled the boy against him, holding one of the guns to the boy's throat.
Seto's eyes widened in horror, as did the others, "let him go Valick," he snapped.
Chuckling Valick gripped tightly on Yami's squirming form, "now why would I let this precious child go, he means to much to me to let him go," he stated pulling Yami back towards the door, Scarlet staying beside him.
"Yami," cried Atemu and he ran through the vampires, Valick smiled as the spirit stopped before him and lifted his hand.
"Why hello Pharaoh," Valick said.
Atemu's eyes widened in horror, "you can see me," he demanded, the vampire nodded, "then you know full well what I can do to you".
"Indeed I do, but you also know what I can do," said the vampire lifting his own hand, "DILOS".
Atemu took a step back only for his spirit like form to be wrapped tightly with darkness, Yami cried out in horror, thinking that he had just lost the spirit only for the darkness to dissipate and a solid human form to appear. Gasping Yami stared at a solid form of Atemu; the spirit was human now, vulnerable to attack.
"Vampires, take care of the slayers," demanded Valick as he pulled Yami back further and forced the boy against the ground. Atemu growled and for the first time since Yami had met him showed the vampire half of him. Baring his fangs he chuckled and lifted up the sharp claws that had appeared. The Pharaoh hacked trying to get to Yami, while Seto and the other's after running out of bullets began to fight with their fists.
Yami struggled heavily under Valick's grasp, infuriating the vampire to no end, the boy's pliant body was like an eels, twisting, kicking and punching him with such vigour that he nearly lost his grip on the boy. Grunting Valick grasped Yami's arms and pinned them beside his head, baring his fangs be prepared to swoop down only for a knee to find his midsection, groaning he never let go of the boy's wrists.
Recovering he swooped down again, this time he met his mark tearing the complex necklace off he bit down, a scream was ripped from the form beneath him, Yami arched his back in pain and tried to struggle but his strength began to slowly leave him.
Atemu hearing the scream began to fight almost recklessly, slashing and hitting out in every direction that he could. The screams continued to the point were he felt tears in his eyes, why couldn't he get to his charge, Yami needed him right now.
When he was finally able to break through he stared at the sight before him in self-loathing and horror. Yami looked like he had when he had been bitten the first time, fear and pain showing in his eyes, the entire scar on his neck was re-opened, blood seeping onto the floor in a heavy flow. Yami's breath was audible and blood was forced out of the corners if his mouth, trickling down. Valick pulled the needle out of the wound, the liquid already having been injected, immediately Yami began to twist and arch in pain.
Rage seeped through him suddenly and he sprang forward, snapping Scarlet's neck he pushed her limp body aside and dug his nails heavily into Valick's back, the king cried out in pain only for Atemu to turn his hands keeping a firm lock in his skin and tossing him towards the glass area in which Abon still stood. The vampire hit it, shattering the glass and hitting Abon heavily, knocking furniture in every which direction.
By the time Atemu knelt down beside Yami all of the vampires were dead, Valick they were not sure about though. Gently he ran his digits over Yami's face, those crimson eyes stared up at him in fear. Biting his lip Atemu kissed the boy's brow as tears began to pour out of his cheeks, "hold on little one, fight it," he commanded gently. Yami groaned and arched up as another wave of pain ran through him.
A hand rested it's self on Atemu's shoulder, glancing back he saw that it was West, Seto came around and lifted Yami into his arms and began to carry him out of the room, whispering encouragement to him and holding back his own over whelming tears. West helped the former spirit to his feet and helped him towards the exit, Atemu felt his pride break and his tears flowed down like a river, this was not happening. Yami was bit for the second and last time.
The journey home was uneventful, Yami stayed in Seto's lap, the slayer whispering encouragement to him to fight and wiped the blood away. Yami had yet to whisper a word the whole time, he only stared into Seto's deep blue eyes before he passed out from the pain, he could not hold on much longer. The group knew that when they returned that Yami would be chained and would be a full vampire when he woke. The thought was not comforting.
Kayden and Alexia took the news hard as they watched Seto carry their son into the mansion and towards a special room created for things like this. Akunadin and Rosalind were in no better shape. West and Joey led Atemu away towards Seto's chambers, while Blade followed Seto. The council members were horrified, only a few were able to show that they were not and they helped chain the young vampire to the stone table/bed in the centre of the room. Seto left immediately afterward and locked himself in his room, not only did he himself need comforting, but so did Atemu. The spirit felt as if this was his fault because he had not been able to stop it.
Lostris woke and stayed in the room with the unconscious vampire even though she knew that when he awoke, he would not be the loveable innocent teenager that she had grown to love.
They needed the cure, and fast.
