Chapter 2
That night in the Autopsy…
In the cold dark room, a small light flickered. A sudden chill ran through the room and raised the blanket on top of the dead boy. Immediately, his eyes snapped open. He sat up and looked around his surroundings. This wasn't his room, this was the morgue, but why was he there?
"I died?" he said as scratched his head. He then noticed the bites on his wrists.
Yes, I did die…but I died protecting someone I held dear …he thought smiling.
"So what now? Heaven?" he asked as he slipped out of the table.
"Not even close," that same dark lusting voice said.
He turned and saw the legendary duelist Rex Raptor sit quietly on the window brim.
"You are an immortal blood sucker kid," he answered plainly as he threw a bag.
Syrus caught it and stared at it. It was a blood bag and it drew him sudden desire to drink it all. Savagely, he ripped the seal and drank it whole, letting remnants drip down his chin.
"Damn! You were hungry!" the older creature exclaimed with a sly smile. "What did you do to me!" the fearing boy asked as the blood dribbled into his pale throat and into his collarbone.
"Nuthin' just following orders…" he said coldly as he leaped out the window and disappeared into the night.
Syrus stared at his bloody hands and started to cry. But even his tears were made of blood. He wanted to go to him so badly, to tell him he was all right, to tell how much he loved him.
Jaden sat still…he stared at the cold steel knife he had stolen from the kitchen. It was completely covered in dark crimson liquid. He griped his shirt with slashed wrists, tears running down his face. He wanted to go away…He had heard many times the words ring in his ears,
"I hate you…I hate you." He wanted to stop…He felt a shadow gently loom over him and caress his bloodied back.
"Go away…" he whispered as he reached out for the knife. He felt the shadow lie against him and touch his outstretched hand.
"I love you, Jaden," it whispered as it relaxed. He turned to see those lovely gray eyes stare back at his.
For that one moment, their lips touched. Jaden enjoyed that simple pleasure most people took for granted. He reluctantly let go, fearing that Syrus would disappear…but he didn't.
"Jaden, I'm here…" he whispered as he drew another kiss, this time letting everything he felt loose.
"Sy…you're dead…I saw you…" Jaden whimpered between the passionate kiss. Syrus let go and stared into his chocolate eyes. He could still drown in them; he still felt that gentle burning within him. His own were filling up with bloody tears, he didn't want to tell him he was a newborn vampire; a killer born from that gruesome murder. "
Yes, Jaden," he said as touched his face with his pale hands, quietly cutting Jaden's face.
"I am dead…"
"Then why are you here, talking to me? Is this some sick dream I'm having? A dream that I hope to wake up? Tell me!" he demanded as he held the vampire's hand…
Blood tears dripped from Syrus and onto his hand. "Dear God, I wish it were! A dream in which we could both wake up and laugh about! How I wish it were, Jaden!" he cried as he stared down to the floor, letting the tears fall upon the floor.
"Then explain why I'm not dead myself?" Jaden demanded in a cold voice. Syrus stared once again into those eyes he adored and looked down.
"You too are damned, little one," Rex's voice boomed.
"You! You did this to Sy! Come here and face me like the monster that you are!" Jaden challenged.
Syrus jolted and held the brunette firmly. "No!" He then turned to Rex's shadow, pleading, "Please, don't touch him! Instead, take it out on me!"
"SY!"
He turned to Jaden and smiled sadly as he walked to Rex, "Don't worry about me Jaden…ever again…I'll be alright."
Jaden tried to reach for his hand, but he was gone…along with that monster. He stared out the four-story window and could see the figures walk away. This was his last chance to catch up.
"Hey you! Give Sy back in exchange for my life!" Rex looked up regally as he held a hysterical Syrus back.
"Very well then, do it! Prove to this infernal creature," he said as he held Syrus' face with a clawed hand in place, "that you're willing to meet death for him."
He nodded and leapt out the window…knowing fully well this was the ultimate sacrifice. He smiled…the last thing he heard was Syrus' childish voice calling his name one last time.
