Chapter 1 – Goal
"Faster!" screamed a young boy with blue hair while flying through the night sky.
"But they just keep coming!" complained a younger girl with a darker shade of blue hair.
"Can I just get rid of them?" she asked, hastily shooting shadow arrows from her fourth finger
"No!" yelled her brother as he glided through the air, easily dodging all the attacks from vampire warriors.
"Brother!" Carrin yelled as she flew towards Athrun who was a few feet farther "We have to hurry! My magic won't keep them out of our backs forever!" she told Athrun as they both flew faster towards the dark forest. Athrun grabbed his sister's arm as they hid behind the tall trees of the forest.
"Find the prince and the princess!" a low hoarse voice ordered.
Athrun sighed tiredly as the vampire warriors went out of sight; he and his sister have been up before midnight trying to escape Genesis to try and stop this war. And now it was already three in the morning and they barely escaped the soldiers. They would but he didn't want anymore killing.
"Come on it's not safe here" he heard Carrin spoke in a soft whisper, her pale green eyes scanning their surroundings, this forest was known to have big bloodthirsty beast that eat even vampires.
Athrun nodded as they started walking quickly and quietly.
"Father must be furious" Carrin whispered, not looking at Athrun
While Athrun looked down sadly "Mother" he softly whispered, not very long ago their mother was killed right if front of their eyes by their own father.
Carrin noticed her brother's silence "But I hate him" she continued "That bloody bastard" the blue haired girl gritted her teeth.
Athrun looked surprised at her sister's choice of words towards her father, he thought she looked up to him as a great king and ruler but the n he realized that he was damn wrong. Looking back at the trail they were following, Athrun noticed the clearing of the forest and he also noted that it was already dawn.
They stopped a few meters away from the dark forest, scanning their surroundings for any harm, though they were vampires they were not harmed by the sun's rays. For Genesis has turned the hot son's rays to nothing but light, the sun was turned to a big light source.
"Look" Carrin spoke, pointing at the figure advancing towards them. "A white wing" she added, her eyes having a dangerous glint.
And the mysterious white winged advanced towards them, ready to kill anyone who would come to hurt him and his fellow travelers, though they were far from Eternal.
"Kira?" Athrun said in shock as the figure became more visible
Kira Yamato, Prince of Eternal suddenly stopped on his tracks when he noticed the two vampires "Athrun? Carrin?" his look also matched Athrun's
"What's wrong?" Kira's blonde haired companion Cagalli Yula Attha, Princess of Eternal asked her twin brother.
Cagalli followed the direction Kira was looking at and she saw… Athrun and Carrin Zala!
"Athrun! Carrin!" she exclaimed, rushing towards her childhood friends together with Lacus Clyne, Kira's fiancé and the high priestess and healer of Eternal.
"Cagalli! Lacus!" Carrin hugged her friends "Long time no see!" she smiled
"I see, still have no fangs?" Cagalli teased
"Why want me to bite you?" Carrin grinned
"How are you Athrun?" Lacus asked Athrun who was standing beside Carrin
Athrun slightly smiled and nodded, a way of saying I'm fine and looked at Cagalli, they have been friends before they was has broke, the five of them always played on the Garden Of Even every afternoon, laughing freely and playing in the vast fields.
"It's been a long time Athrun" Kira spoke, recovering from his shock and stretched a hand to his best friend
"Yes it has Kira" Athrun shook Kira's hand then the brother's faces turned serious. Carrin, Lacus and Cagalli noticing the sudden change of atmosphere looked intently at the two males and waited for their action.
"Why are you all the way here?" Athrun asked
"It must have been a long journey" Carrin added, joining the conversation, her face as serious as Athrun's
"It has" Cagalli answered "We have escaped Eternal at midnight three days ago, and we flew all the way here" she added
"All the way to the south?" Athrun asked "What for?"
"We have come to meet you" Kira answered
"Meet us?" Carrin arched an eyebrow "You planned to enter Genesis to meet us?" she asked in disbelief
"Well you are out here right now aren't you?" Cagalli stated
"And what if we aren't?" Athrun suddenly asked
"Then we would have to find a way" the songstress spoke
"Why did you leave Eternal?" Carrin asked, her eyes having this curious yet deadly look
"How about you? Why did you leave Genesis?" Kira answered back
Athrun and Carrin's eyes widened for a short time then they turned dead serious again "We want to put a stop to this foolish war" Athrun answered
Lacus smiled and nodded "That is also our goal"
"You think you can find the answer in Genesis?" Carrin asked little anger visible in her voice, though the hatred in her heart for her father lingered; she couldn't help but feel protective towards her nation.
"No, we have come here to talk to you two" Kira answered, noticing the protective tone in the young Zala's voice
"Come, we cannot talk here when there might be others who can here us" Kira slightly smiled as he summoned his wings followed by Cagalli and Lacus.
Athrun watched in awe as Cagalli unfolded her feathery white wings "Beautiful" he whispered
"Follow us" Cagalli instructed as she lifted herself from the ground
Athrun and Carrin obliged as they started flying even without wings, vampires uses skill and magic to fly with invisible wings.
"Where are we heading to?" Athrun asked as he flew next to Cagalli while Carrin trailed behind him.
"To Eden" Cagalli answered
Athrun looked shocked "Wasn't Eden destroyed by shadow lurkers?"
Cagalli turned to face Athrun, a smirk forming her lips "Except the Lake of Eve" she answered
"Eve? The goddess of creation?" asked the puzzled Athrun
"Isn't that located in the north west of Acracia?" Carrin asked joining the conversation
"No, that is the Lake of Eve daughter of Creek" Cagalli explained "the lake hidden by Eden was a sacred lake where Mesilla and Ceres was said to come from"
"Mesilla and Ceres, the nymphs of deceiving beauty" Carrin noted as she looked behind her, scanning if there was anything nearing them.
Lacus' dark purple cloak ruffled against the soft breeze that past flew them.
"I wish Gaia would become peaceful" she spoke to Kira who turned to his love, the prince nodded "It would be great" he agreed, a small frown creasing his face.
"Do you think this path would really lead us to peace?" he asked, slightly closing his eyes, feeling the wind pass his features.
Lacus slightly smiled "First we must decide our path and then accomplish our goal" she softly spoke, her voice calming to Kira's worried heart.
Lacus and Kira's flight speed slowed down "Were nearing" Kira announced
Athrun and Carrin nodded, eyes carrying some pain as they remembered this place as a place of colorful flowers and laughter. And now it was only a place of ash and screams of death.
"It's awful" commented Carrin as she looked around the area
"Carrin" Cagalli called in a low whisper as she followed Kira who led the way to the hidden lake.
The five passed the burned field, the place was filled with different smelling gases and corpses. Corpses of the innocent children killed by the shadow lurkers, tribe of the Ashes.
They reached a slope going down to what seemed like eternal darkness
"It's here" Kira motioned down to the darkness
Athrun and Carrin looked hesitant and reluctant, after years that they have not met and in this war, could they still trust Kira?
Cagalli softly chuckled "Scared?" she teased as she flapped her white wings and descended into the dark
"Won't we get lost?" Carrin suddenly asked
This time Kira chuckled, "The space between the slopes is only fit for one person and it links right to the lake" Kira answered
"And do vampires even get lost in the dark?" Kira asked jokingly
Carrin blushed in embarrassment, of course vampires can't get lost in the dark. They live in the dark!
"Come on" Athrun motioned his sister, an amused glint in his intense emerald eyes.
Carrin glared at her brother before descending down the small space. Athrun followed the lacus and lastly Kira, looking around to make sure that no one has followed them. After he had followed Lacus down a certain being saw him.
"Play times over" he laughed as he got the end of his cloth and covered himself, making him disappear.

A/N: That's the first chapter! Hope you like it! I got the idea because it is nearing Halloween but this isn't horror more on Supernatural/Romance/Action and Adventure.
Eve – the first woman on Earth
Eden – the garden that was created and given to Adam and Eve
(There isn't going to be an Adam in this story!)
Ceres – a nymph in a mythology (I forgot)
