A/N: …There's like a river of water flowing down my street. Oh, yay for the new reviewer! And it just occurred to me that I haven't got my lazy butt up and gone to review Ocecat's "Hand of Fate" again, while she keeps reviewing my story!

Ocecat: Thank you so much, I'm not worthy lol!

Z6e6r6o: Thank you bunchies!

Chapter 13

"I don't know about you," Arsalan said, "But I'm getting hungry. What kind of weird blood are we supposed to drink while we're in this stupid jungle?"

"Animal blood." Kamal said, hearing Arsalan groan a complain. "And don't call this jungle stupid, because if it wasn't here then we'd be lodged to the ground with arrows."

"Very true." Roya said. "You should try to keep up a better mood, Arsalan."

"Oh, well, sure! Tell the Vampire that just had the shock of his life to be in a better mood! And animal blood, what is up with drinking animal blood! I can imagine myself running around trying to grab this little tiny squirrel's tail and-"

"ARSALAN! SHUT UP!" Kamal and Roya shouted in unison. The streak-haired Vampire immediately locked into silence. Roya looked lost in her thoughts as they moved through the thick trees and bushes, creating their own path. She suddenly gasped.

"What?" Kamal asked. Roya smiled.

"You're not a fledgling anymore!"

"So that's how it works, Roya? You gasp and say-"

"Arsalan, don't start. So how…I mean how do you know?" Kamal asked the Vampiress.

"You've been a Vampire for a month and a half! That means you've entered Vampire adulthood." She said happily.

"But I'm already an adult." Kamal countered.

"Yes, but not an adult in Vampiric terms. But you are now!" She replied.

"Oh…so, what? Do I get some kind of special power like you?" He asked.

"Some Vampires do, some don't. But with you, I believe that you will achieve one soon enough." She said. "Oh, and your claws, ears and fangs lengthen until they're like mine and Arsalan's." She added thoughtfully.

"He told me they would, when he first met me." Kamal replied.

"You know I-"

"Arsalan!" Kamal cried.

"What! Dammit, you are CRAZY people! I was just going to say that I first met him in the turning chambers!" Arsalan countered. Roya turned to look at him as they walked.

"But I thought Shahdee was your sire?" She asked.

"She is," The Prince started, "…But Arsalan is really the one that took care of me after my rebirth. Shahdee just left me there to starve." He said sourly. "Her name alone puts a bad taste in my mouth."

"That's very sad. Most Vampires and their sires are very close like parent and child." Roya said, nodding approvingly.

"Well we weren't." Kamal said quietly. Silence overcame them.

"…..Well I think Shahdee is a bitch."

"ARSALAN!"

(that night)

"Any more heat and we'd have been burned to a crisp." Roya stated as they wearily collapsed onto the grassy jungle floor.

"I thought it was only sunlight that could burn us after a period of time."

"No, you can also catch heat syndrome. Which, might I add without both of you jumping on my ass, sucks." Arsalan said. "Yes, I know the 'jumping on my ass' was a bad pun, but-"

"Hold on." The Prince was completely still. The other two Vampires did the same while their ears twitched and pricked.

"Am I the only one hearing that?" Kamal asked. A series of noises of something munching on grass came to their hypersensitive ears.

"I think it's an Okapi." Arsalan said.

"What in the Gods' names is an Okapi?" Kamal asked.

"It's got some stripes, has hooves…and it's kind of brown at the top…has a funny nose. They're weird looking little animals." Arsalan replied.

Kamal and Roya gave him a look.

"…And we're going to kill it, aren't we." Arsalan added, more of a statement than a question. Roya nodded and pulled her bow from her back, lodging an arrow into it and silently standing up.

"But you GUYS…they're the coolest animals ever!" The streak-haired Vampire whined.

(ten minutes later)

The three Vampires were tiredly lying on their backs in a circle, arms crossed behind their heads.

"You know…" The Prince started, "…I never thought any of this would happen to me. I feel like I've died a million times then went somewhere else."

"What do you mean, went somewhere else?" Arsalan asked, clawed hand on his full belly.

"I feel like I've gone somewhere between heaven and hell, because…It's not quite heaven and it's not quite hell."

"I'm not sure I get your meaning, Prince." Arsalan replied. Kamal just laughed softly.

"You'll understand after you sailed the Ocean and felt like you've died one thousand times over." He said. Silence overcame the three Vampires, before Arsalan spoke out.

"Hey, Prince…remember when I told you I'd finish my story?" He asked. The Prince nodded.

"I do." He answered.

"Maybe this is a good time to finish it." Arsalan said. He sighed before moving on, not seeing Kamal and Roya turning their heads to look at him as he gazed up at what visible stars there were above.

"After I'd found the dagger lying beside my parent's corpses, I secluded myself for ten years so I could train myself to get stronger before I could go to the island. After that, I left with all of my friends and went across the sea on a ship to avenge my parent's murderers. I made it there, but most of my crew had died due to illness and disease when we arrived on the island. Soon, I was the only one left after the long trek through the jungle to the Palace. I made it inside, but once I did; I fell unconscious. Empress Fereshteh found me lying at the doors of her throne room, and obviously thought I'd make a good Vampire so she had a Vampiress named Elaheh turn me. After I was turned, Empress Fereshteh allowed me to kill my parent's murderers, but not after some consideration. She told me that if I killed them, then I would have to remain her servant for all eternity." He finished.

"And that's what you became." The Prince said. "Does Roya know about this?"

"I do. I've known about it for a long time, now." She said, yawning.

"Thank you for finishing, Arsalan." Kamal said softly. "I know it hurts you."

"Yeah, but you can't start a story and not finish it." Arsalan replied.

The Prince yawned as well, and the other two Vampires noticed that his fanged teeth were as long as theirs'.

"Congratulations." Arsalan said sarcastically.

"Now you have to try harder not to bite your bottom lip."

A/N: I FINALLY finished Arsalan's bio! I don't know about Roya's bio, though. (sniffles)

Prince: PLEASE R&R!

Ancient-v: You little punk, that's MY line!
