Chapter Two
I awoke from my sleep, clutching the blankets tightly as I tried to remember what happened last night.
He had an infiltrate and assassination mission but had backfired but he had still completed his mission. He hissed in pain as his leg felt like it was ready to burn. "What the hell" He managed to get out and opened his eyes as he woke to a blonde vampire in front of him-looking at him through clear cerulean eyes framed with long black lashes giving her an innocent appearance.
Rushing up, he fell out of the bed as Serenity giggled as she walked toward the window with an air of grace and closed it along with thick blood-red drapes as Heero became mobile again.
"Dear little…soldier" She said kneeling down and picking up the forgotten gun as Heero had quietly snuck behind her and took it from her and she pouted.
"Don't touch, and what did you do to me last night?" He questioned, pointing the gun at her head. She giggled and replied "Well lets start, I'm Serenity" She said licking his her bottom lips showing her fangs off as they shone brightly as she stood up and wrapped her arm around his neck as he dropped his gun yet again.
"We had…fun" She whispered into his ear as she began to kiss the bite he had received from last night. "No longer a mortal" She drawled out kissing him partly on the mouth and continued "My little pet" as she drew away from Heero and pulling him out of the room.
Heero looked around the hallway, the dancers were gone as well as the gates. The hall was silent and dimly lit. Priceless vases lined the walls as well as beautiful works of art he'd never seen before-documenting historic events.
Pulling him along, she moved them into a beautiful room-a ballroom with the drapes shut tightly as the candles in the chandelier lit themselves magically. He wanted to get a closer look but was pulled into a tight waltz as music lively and brash began to play while they began to dance.
"What did you do to me" He growled out as she just grinned and spun out and twirled back in.
"Simple, I made you…" She leaned in closer touching his ear "A vampire" She said continuing the waltz but evolved into a dangerously fast tempo, an almost deadly beat.
Heero's head spun "Vampires are only myths" He burst out and clamped his teeth shut as the points of his fangs grinded together as she smirked.
"Only myths" She said leaning toward him "Then you are only a myth as well…pet" She said pulling away, Looking at her closely before looking away.
"Just a shadow" He murmured as she snuck out of the ballroom leaving him to his thoughts and the secrets of the manor waiting inside.
Heero wandered the desolate hallways. He had been watching the sunset go down in the ballroom. He'd spent the day making himself immune to the sun, but that didn't mean it didn't affect him.
Staggering along the wall, he groaned-too drained of energy to memorize the layout of the house in which he was trapped in.
Groaning, he slumped to the floor in exhaustion. Why am I so weak? He asked himself as his mouth hungered for the taste of a foreign liquid he couldn't remember. He groaned one last time before his eyes fluttered shut.
A little boy stared up at the stars above him, which were shining like diamonds-sparkling diamonds. Closing his eyes, he cuddled himself up into an old beat up blanket that only covered half of his body.
Shivering, he brought his knees up and sucked in his breath and breathed out the carbon dioxide from his lungs. After awhile of trying to fall asleep to no avail, he sighed and opened his eyes as he met a sight of a young man that looked around 26 was picking him up and leading him into a new life.
Heero's eyes shot open as he sprung himself up into a sitting position gasping for breath. He hadn't had any memories from when he was young and innocent. Looking around wildly, he recognized the large and exotic bedroom in which he had been lured to.
A pair of hands suddenly appeared and trailed down his back as one left and presented a glass of wine.
Serenity draped her arms over his shoulder as her golden blonde hair spilled behind her creating an illusion of a golden waterfall.
"Can we go outside the manor" She asked as Heero examined the glass-his eyes glittered dangerously as he tilted his head back and let the liquid pout down his throat as he began to fill warm and filled again.
Sliding off the bed, her long, dark revealing nightgown followed her as she looked into an enchanted mirror as she tied up her long hair with a simple black ribbon while Heero crawled out of the bed and grabbed his forgotten jacket and nodded.
Serenity jumped for joy as a slim strap fell off her shoulder as Heero just nodded and pulled the door back open and the ghostly figures were back.
Following her down the hallway, music and laughing was stopped as people curtsied and bowed as well as whispers and looks of contempt and interest followed them from the mirror he had looked in earlier, a young looking maid popped out of it containing a purse. "Milady" She said bowing as she held out the purse. Serenity just patted her head and dismissed her and continued to walk down the stairs.
Opening the purse, she pulled out bits of paper printed with 20's, 50's and 100's. Staring at them, she just shrugged and placed them back inside and zipped the bag back up and looked up at the majestic old clock he had obviously missed as the clock chimed it was 7:00 PM and began walking again.
A few moments later, we were welcomed to many shops and vendors, crowded streets, and loud noises of all kinds.
She grabbed my hand as she wandered into the street, attracting stares from all those who passed her as she chattered to the stoic young man next to her. They stopped as Serenity came up to a shop window full of modern clothes that deemed her interest as she pointed out to Heero she wanted to go in there.
Silently groaning, he nodded as she bounced into the shop taking him with her. The shop had a vibrant vibe coming from it, as well as upbeat music played and colors galore.
