Author's Note: To those who are huge fans of this story, I am sorry it has taken me so long to update with a new chapter! Things have been coming up left and right and it's been making my head hurt and my world spin, especially finals. Ra knows I hate them. I totally bombed my Algebra 2 final. I hate math! I don't even understand why I'm in that class, I have all my math credits I need to graduate! Stupid Councilor! I dislike mine with a passion. She is such a ditz! Anyway, I'll quit complaining and get on with the story! Thank you all for being so patient with me! I love you all!

War Of The Night Chapter Five: Midnight Meeting

"Thank you so much!" Jahi cried happily while hugging his father. "Though, I will admit that I never imagined this kinda thing with my son, no matter." Tiesa beamed, "Well I for one have noticed it, I knew when Jahi didn't take interest in that beautiful young vampress (1). But…I am sad that I will never get grandchildren from my son."

Jahi smiled widely. "I am sure this mysterious vampire has a name, does he not?" The blonde nodded, "Yes, his name is Seth." It was then that Jadian and Tiesa felt their smiles falter. The blonde prince looked worriedly at his parents. "What?" He asked softly. His parents whispered amongst themselves so quietly that his sensitive ears couldn't even pick it up. He stood dumbfounded until his parents turned back to him and smiled. Jahi was confused, "What troubles you?"

"Nothing my dear son, your father and I just thought that maybe you…well…it's not a big deal. Never mind my son." Tiesa spoke while approaching her little prince then embracing him tenderly. "I love you my son, my Jahi Of Eve."

OOooOO

Seth once again perched himself on the railing of his balcony, still searching the ground for any sign of his stalker. His angry azure eyes pierced the night as he hunted his prey. Someone was onto him, someone knew where he'd been, and someone knew about Jahi. Though, he would not let something like this take away his chances of seeing his beloved this Friday eve. It would take more than one mere fleeting shadow to stop him indeed. Relaxing against the stone exterior of his castle, but not forgetting why he was sitting here, Seth looked up at the moon and gazed. His heart felt heavy with emptiness, he was whole with Jahi by his side. The brunette vampire knew that this charade wouldn't be able to last much longer. "And if I sleep just to dream of you, and wake without you there. Isn't something missing, isn't someone missing me?"

OOooOO

Friday

10:56 pm

"Oh! Yunith I can't stand just sitting here waiting for midnight to beckon me! I must see Seth! I have not seen him in days and I am dying!" Jahi spoke dramatically before throwing his body to the dead, cold ground. "Stop whining like a human child! If you can wait a full six days to see Seth then I think a couple more hours won't kill you." The prince groaned unhappily. "Jahi, stop making a scene, someone is bound to observe and then get curious!" The shorter vamp warned. But by this time, it was too late. Someone was already on the case and not by their own accord.

"I don't see how this is very mind stabling, I mean, we're spying on our son! Does that not make all the guilt of the world come crashing upon your shoulders?" Tiesa tried to reason with her husband. The elder version of the prince stood his ground and spoke firmly, "Jahi did not tell us he would be rendezvousing with his newly found lover. Besides, wouldn't you like to know who this mystery Seth is? I would like to put my tired mind to rest so that I may get a full days sleep again." Jadian retorted. Tiesa would like to know if her heart was telling her the truth but spying on her son was not the way she wanted to find out. "I know this bother's you my dear wife, but I just want to protect my heir, my son. I want to know if this is truly the Ivory Dragon Clan Seth, and if so I want to save my son from certain death. Don't you?" The Ebonique Dragon Clan Queen nodded, "Of course, he is my flesh and blood, I will not loose my child to vile creatures. I refuse."

Yunith wondered why his friend acted so much like a child sometimes. Jahi still lay still on the ground at his feet. "Come Jahi, you wouldn't want to be dirty for Seth now would you?" The blonde sent his friend a smirk, "I already have been." The spiky-haired vamp rolled his eyes, "You know what I meant!"

OOooOO

"Gavran."(2) A kingly voice beckoned to said vampire. "Yes, your majesty?" Kosan approached his newly found emissary. "How has my son fared?"

"He seems anxious tonight, like he is bound to go somewhere quite soon." The Ivory Dragon Clan king nodded. "Be sure you follow his every flight of wing but don't let him know you're there. I want to know what that mischievous brat has been up to."

"Yes, your majesty."

"And if he demonstrates that he is fooling around with that other vampire I will exile him and you may take his place on the throne of the Ivory Dragon Clan. You were more a son to me anyway, Gavran."

OOooOO

"Dear brother, you would not attempt such a risky journey tonight would you? I am scared for you Seth Of Moon. I fear Mother and Father are onto your sneaking about." Mokuba tried in vain to stop his brother from sealing his own fate. "Let them be suspicious, let them be ruthless! I could careless for I have a home in Jahi's heart that I can always go home to. No one can prevent me from seeing him this night, not even your good judgment dear Mokuba Of Darkness." Seth knelt down to his brother to reach him eye to eye. "Do not worry, if I die tonight, I will have died happily in Jahi's arms. I will have been freed from the prison." The vampling tried to hide his silver tears but his elder sibling was swift to wipe them away. "I will not die tonight, baby brother. I will come back to you."

"You promise Seth Of Moon?" The brunette prince smiled, "I promise." With those words he sealed his promise with a brotherly kiss to his sibling's head. "Now I must go." Seth said while straightening and walking to the balcony. Mokuba watched helplessly as the prince took flight. A single tear fell for Seth.

OOooOO

"My child, I was wondering if you were going to wait to fly here." Lord Dracula smiled and greeted to the blonde prince. Jahi bowed his head respectively to his over lord. "Come child, you may wait for your shadow stalker on the balcony in the room in which you both encountered one another." The amber-eyed vampire felt a slight blush creep then vanish. The large wooden doors of the red room opened with such charisma and who stood behind them was a complete surprise. "SETH OF MOON!" Jahi shouted before racing toward his lover and hurling himself into his awaiting arms. The taller prince held Jahi tightly, wanting to never let go, afraid this may be a dream and he would disappear. "My angle of darkness. How I have hungered to feel your body so intimately close to mine." Without skipping a beat and not wasting a moment their lips were pressed together in a heat of the utmost passion. Seth crept his hand to the back of the bounty of golden hair and pushed against Jahi's head to create more pressure in their kiss.

Breathless, they pulled away but stayed locked in each other's arms. Their intense gazes locked and together they stood just clutching the other tightly. "Oh, Seth, how I have missed thee." Jahi spoke with such softness while tears escaped his eyes. The other leant down and kissed them away. "I am here now Jahi Of Eve. Do not cry my angel." The shorter of the two held tighter to the welcoming figure before him.

OOooOO

"LORD JADIAN! LADY TIESA!"

Having heard their names called at such an alarming tone the king and queen meet the one who was calling for them in the main hall of their castle. "What is it? What news do you bring of my son? Speak Durven (3)!" Cried the king to his scout. "It is true, your son and the other will be executed."

"Whatever do you mean by such words?" Tiesa scorned with such confusion. "Your suspicions are correct. Your son has indeed fallen in love with the Ivory Dragon Clan's prince, Seth Of Moon." All the anger and fear for his son's death welled up inside the king's being until it could no longer hold. "TAKE ME TO MY SON! I MUST SEE HIM BEFORE THIS GETS OUT!" And at this same time, the spy for Lord Kosan had also made it to the castle and back, reporting to the Lord and Lady that their son was with the prince of the Ebonique Dragon Clan. Both of Seth's parents were furious in all their power and the king decided to pay his son a visit at Dracula's castle.

OOooOO

They had not been together two hours and the forbidden lovers were already half way into their lovemaking. They had not really spoke true form of words but yet pleaded for each other in their touches and their gazes. Seth could no longer take not feeling what he and his golden lover had experienced the night they met. He had to have that security of wholeness and completeness once again. It had started out soft and caressing but now it was to the point where the lovers had lost full control of their needy bodies.

"AHHHHHH! SETH!" Jahi cried in the height of his orgasm while digging his nails into the shoulder blades of his lover. The sensation of the blonde's nails in his skin brought Seth to the end and with one last thrust he finished with a growl of Jahi's name and fell forward onto the vamp below him. The blonde carefully cradled the brunette's head in the crook of his neck. There was a calm silence as they shared the afterglow.

"Thank you Seth Of Moon." Said prince lifted his head and kissed his lover again. "I would not have missed this for the world. I would pay, any price just to see you again, every time. Even if it meant my very existence." The blonde touched a finger to Seth's lips, "Hush, do not speak like that. We will be forever." Having not pulled out of the amber-eyed vampire yet, Seth felt himself begin to harden just from the sheer heat and Jahi could sense it. Their lips were closing in for another kiss when two large windows shattered abruptly, obviously ruining the young lover's moment. The princes watched as two large figures unfurled themselves. Seth was frightened to see his father standing before him and Jahi did not see his father for he had buried his face within the brunette's chest and clung to him for dear life.

"So, it is true. My renowned son! Sleeping with EBONIQUE DRAGON SCUM!" Lord Kosan boomed viciously. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF MY SON IN SUCH A MANNER KOSAN!" The Ivory Dragon leader turned about to see his sworn enemy standing behind him.

"Ahh, Jadian. Lord of the vampire scum of all." The blonde king bared his fangs and tackled the other king. Seeing as how their fathers were busy, Seth and Jahi were quick to dress and almost made a swift get away. But the parents grabbed opposite children. Kosan was quick to pull a knife and held it to Jahi's throat. "NOOO! FATHER!" Seth cried his eyes flashing a dangerous azure. Jadian held the brunette in a strong headlock. "Let my son go and I won't kill Seth."

"Kill the brat for all I care! He has disobeyed me! HE HAS SLEPT WITH SCUM! GIVING HIS PRECIOUS VIRGINITY TO YOUR MUTT! HE HAS NO PLACE IN MY HOME." The Ivory prince was truly hurt and made no struggle to get free of the king holding him so tightly, "Father…"

"I AM NOT YOUR FATHER AND YOU ARE NOT MY SON!

"Please Lord Kosan, let my son go!"

"Oh, hast thou already forgotten the law! Those from each clan must avoid all contact with the opposite clan! If there is failure to do so, a death sentence is in order. And I believe our son's just experienced the most intimate contact of all, and a severe death is in order !" Kosan sprouted his wings lifted into the air. Jahi reached out for his lover in a desperate attempt to break free. "Seth! Seth Of Moon! Please help me."

"Do not bother my son, a royal beheading will await you if you come flying into our territory." With that Kosan burst into an evil laugh and flew away into the dead of night. Seth struggled to get loose to save his beloved, "JAHI!" He cried. Though his attempt was in vain. This encounter may have been the last the two lovers may see.

Author's Note: Sorry this chapter is so short, but I really didn't know what to write. Next chapter is where the adventure really begins to heat up.

Thank you all so much for reading and don't forget to review!

Vampress is the word for a female vampire.

Gavran means Raven.

Durven means enduring man.
