Never Alone Again
Alexes Ashton
Chapter 3:
The General sat in his office. He had had dinner late again and was getting sleepy. It was already four in the morning and his body was calling for rest. He was still trying to figure out some way to clear the blonde's name. He wasn't sure how he was going to pull such a stunt, but had a basic idea.
He knew that the rest of Shinra would be waking now and starting classes and the like. He figured it was time to go back to his quarters and go to sleep. But not before paying the blonde a visit. It had been four days since the last he saw Cloud, and figured he'd better feed him soon; otherwise, one of two things would happen. Either the boy would starve to death, or he would kill himself to rid himself from the insanity of not feeding.
He drew a deep long sigh, not wanting to bring the blonde any blood. He knew he had to if he wanted to keep the blonde as his pet. He smirked at the blonde's stupidity. How could he not know the truth? Did he not remember what had happened? It just made his work all the simpler. He smiled at this and chuckled inwardly. In all his long years of living, he could not believe how stupid people have become. 'Ah well... Such times are fun...' he thought to himself as he stood to leave and to bring the blonde his meal.
He reached the blondes room and stood at the door, hesitating to go in, afraid of the creature he would find inside. He had a guard beside him, armed with a gun, ready to enter as soon as his General commanded it of him. The General sighed and walked in, knowing the blonde would smell both their blood, and would strike if he felt the least bit threatened.
He walked in and found the blonde where he had last left him. He had obviously not moved to conserve energy. This impressed the General as he stood with the door open but a crack. He had his Masamune at his side for this visit, knowing he would need it one way or another. He stood silently, smirking at the blonde.
The blonde didn't look up, not wanting to waste any precious energy. He was tired and staved. The starvation began to take hold of his looks, as well as his sanity. His bones could be seen through his skin. His skin looked like leather on a doll. His smell was even worse, as his flesh was eating away at itself.
He knew the blonde wouldn't attack, if he wanted to live that is. So, the General walked over to the blonde and took out a bottle filled with warm blood from his item pouch. He handed it to the blonde, but the blonde didn't budge. "Ah... So, you think that by not eating, you'll die? It won't be so easy, Cloud..." he said coldly, lifting the boys face to look at him.
"It'd be... better than... being starved... all the time... by you..." he managed to say, barely. He kept his mouth shut as the General put the bottles' nipple to his lips. He took it away. "I know you're hungry. Why do you like to torture yourself this way?" he asked softly, the bottle in his hand, at his side as he leaned over the boy, towering him.
"I refuse... to be treated this... way... to be... humiliated... in such... a way..." he said softly, barely audibly. His weakness was in his voice. "I see..." the General said, looking as if he didn't care. He held the bottle to the boy's closed lips once more, but squeezed the nipple of the bottle to get some blood out. The blood fell upon the blonde's lips, and instantly, the boy opened his mouth to receive more. His body forced him to drink the blood, but his mind begged his body to stop this madness. His body was in complete control until the blood was completely gone from the bottle.
"That's a good boy..." he said, patting the boy's head, as if he were a dog or a child. "Shut up..." Cloud spat. "So rude to the one who keeps you alive... And also to the one who has brought you a present..." he whispered so that the guard outside couldn't hear.
The General stood up and walked over to the bed and called the guard. The guard quickly came in and stood in front of his General. "Yes sir?" the guard asked, his gun pointed directly at the boy's head. "I want you to set your gun down and fetch that boy from the corner. Bring him to me... Oh, and be careful... he bites..." he said, laughing at the last part. "D-Does he, sir?" the guard asked hesitantly.
"Oh no... I was kidding, soldier..." he said softly. He smirked as the guard set his gun down next to the General and walked over to the blonde. "Get up!" the guard screamed at the blonde. Cloud only looked up and smirked, now knowing what his gift was from the General. The blood from the bottle had given him enough energy to get a human for dinner. And he silently thanked the General as he slowly stood.
"Now, go over to the General!" he commanded of the blonde. "Of course..." Cloud said quietly. He walked forward a step before quickly latching onto the guard's throat with his fangs. The guard screamed and tried to struggle. The General quickly closed the door to the room and watched the blonde feeding. The guard had managed to push the blonde against the wall. He was now kicking at the weak blonde. Cloud was on the floor blocking all hits.
"STOP!" the General commanded of the guard. The guard did as he was told and backed away. Cloud stayed where he was, too weak from blocking to get up right away. When the guard reached the General, he stopped. "Are you alright?" the General asked. "I'm fine... Just a little shook up..." the guard replied softly. "Good..." the General replied, the Masamune's blade being at the guards throat now.
"S-Sir? I-I don't understand?" the guard said, scared that the General's sword would be the death of him. "You've been bitten by a vampire. And to reduce the spread of these creatures, you know need to be terminated. And I thought you'd be strong enough to bring this weak little creature to me. Obviously not, eh?" he asked softly, his blade inching closer to the guards throat.
"WAIT!" Cloud called out. The General looked to him. "Wait... I want him... I want to finish him off..." Cloud said softly. The General snickered, pushing the guard forward to the blonde. Sephiroth sat down on the bed and watched as they fought again. He noticed that Cloud's back was beginning to get tight. 'This'll cause some problems...' he thought to himself. Cloud had finally begun to weaken the guard, but the guard got one last hit at the vampire.
This set Cloud off. His back was already tight to begin with, and now it was ripping at two little slots. He finished the guard off and screamed as two great wings emerged from the slits in the vampires back. He fell to the floor, his back in great pain, more than he ever felt before. "Ahhh!!" Cloud screamed, as he wrapped his arms around himself.
The two wings flexed and threw tiny droplets of blood everywhere in the room. Two horns began to grow from the blonde's forehead as well. They were small horns, but horns all the same. His nails began to grow out as well, but then retracted into his fingers like cats' nails. He continued to scream as his transformation began to draw near to the end. The General sat on the bed, starring at the blonde, as this was all happening.
Soon it was over, and what stood before the General now, was a creature of legend. A creature that hadn't been seen by humans in almost 3000 years. It was the final form of this creature of legend. It was the true Vampire, emerged from his human bounds. And it stood, looking over itself, and then to the General. It smirked, extending its cat like claws, and preparing for the attack on the great General himself.
A/N: Yup... That's Chapter 3. Did ya enjoy it? I sure did. I wrote most of it in one day. There really haven't been any twists yet, but there will be soon, and you'll like them. nod nod They're cool, I think anyways. But, yeah. Expect updates soon. Hopefully I can get this story done before the end of summer, though, it's going to be hard b/c I have a full time job now... sigh Sure, it pays $7/hr. But, it's so boring and hard... I'd much rather be writing these stories and posting them here. Oh well. Expect Chapter 4 shortly.
