Summary:

Siete has a secret and there's a new girl on the block. Only, how new is she to the vampire world? The rumors caused by her appearance lead to confusion, which is the perfect opportunity for the Vida family to bring down New Mayhem, once and for all.

Last Chapter

A cool, sea breeze passed through his hair. The once golden-eyed man sat looking out at the sea. 'What is going on? Is it at all possible? No, no! There's no way.' Frustrated from the news recently received, Siete figured he should give the only option that could settle his mind a try.

He reached with his mind, searching all over the globe for any trace of the girl who changed his life.

"Ugh," he slumped forward, defeated. Though he had just given up, his mind was at ease knowing that this girl he knew was not alive on this earth. In a weird way, it sort of disappointed him too. Slowly staggering up, he looked over the cliffside to the sinking sun getting ready to leave.

'Stay.'

The instant after he was ordered this, Siete was tackled to the ground. His eyes snapped opened and his body spun over to pin the character who dare even attack him. Holding his forearm to their larynx he pressed hard until the hair fell from the front of the face, like a single droplet sliding down the side of a glass.

'Where did you think you're going? How rude leaving after inviting me. On top of that, you attack me. I mean come on, you know I won't hurt you.'

If Siete had been alive, the shock probably would have killed him. His black eyes bore into garnet defiant ones. The persons black hair laying limp on their shoulders, but seemed so soft that any touch would forever ruin it. A cocky smile played on the lips of the pinned being, just waiting for him to move. Leaning in close to his ear, she whispered, "Come on now. I'm not too fond of being on the bottom."

Snapped back to reality, he receded on to his haunches staring at the young girl, who to him was a ghost. "There's- there's no way. How... I mean... Melody?" Confusion and what appeared to be hurt flooded the features of his 25-year old face.

She sat up abruptly just grinning like a fool. "Yes and it's good to see you too,"she chirped sarcastically, hugging him and taking him back down. Looking up into her face, he saw just how beautiful she had become. A nice thick lower lip was balanced with an even top. The bronze skin all over her body gave off an exotic vibe. No scars, no blemishes. And for a 17-year old, a very curvaceous structure with what appeared to be C size breasts. "Come on, you're not happy too see me? Brah, you would think if you miss me you would at least give me one hug."

Smiling, he was filled with pure joy. It was such a weird rush, especially after he had just convinced himself she wasn't alive. Though she made him happier than he had been in thousands of years. Grabbing her in a bear hug, which made her absolutely delighted, he said, "It sounds like your accent has definitely changed. That and most everything I knew about you." Pulling back to look at her, he could still barely believe, which is saying something coming from a vampire. "How can you still be alive? How come you've actually aged? Just… well, what the fuck is going on?"

"Ooh, what happened to your eloquent speech? No can handle? Well, your questions can wait. I got to say that this place is beautiful but odd place to call me to yah? Oh and what's with the shirt," she asked sarcastically, popping his black silk shirt's collar. "Cause it's soooo fresh. Why don't you get more fitting clothes? You'd be a hit with the ladies… for once."

"Heh. I've been alive for over 7,000 years. You think I never got some?" Moving to only an inch from her face he continued, "My dear, if you believe that then you are sadly mistaken." Laughing he sat back with his arms propping him up. By now the sun had only a sliver left of its rays to share for the day. Siete looked over his shoulder then, moved back to Melody's left side. Smirking he glanced over towards her just sending her a message. 'Oh and if I wore anything tighter, the girls wouldn't be giving me their numbers. They'd be giving me their guy friends numbers.'

Loudly she laughed and just shook her head. Turning towards him into a crisscross way, she tried to stare him down, while trying to read his mind.'You know, I happen to have a lot of gay friends. Got to say, they definitely have their advantages. Sometimes they have even better fashion sense than I do. But I will allow one question you can ask and I will answer… truthfully.'

'Oh, is that so? Well, let me think then. Age, longevity, or… how about I take a rain check until I can think of one?'

'No problemo. I am here for as long as I please. Which, if things keep progressing as they do, will be a long time.' Smiling she turned and absorbed her surroundings. The cliff they were perched on was overlooking the Pacific Ocean and was surprisingly green. Trees in the distance full of lush leaves that, despite the season, had yet to fall. Birds and small woodland creatures roamed about with no fear of humans, which gave the land a sense of purity. Very few places left on this "Blue Planet" were like this. Majority of the regions were being developed for business or living space. More than likely, within a couple of years the surrounding scenery would be gone, replaced with new and expensive houses. Gazing up to the sky, she watched as the orange from the sun followed its lead toward the horizon and purple coming to takes its place. "Amazing, how, when left alone, nature is so beautiful but can be so dangerous, yah?"

The comment on its own was unique, but coupled with her haunting voice Siete felt as if he could crawl out of his skin at that moment. She tilted her chin slightly up, giving her a look of all-knowing. "Yes, it is one of life's major mysteries and something humans can never truly have control over."

"Humans may never have control but I know a group of people that do." The statement was more to herself than to Siete. Of course though, nothing ever goes unnoticed by someone as old as him.

"Oh, really? You think you know anyone powerful enough to move the land, water, and air? Tell me my dear creator, who are these deity-like people?"

"Smooth, but you can't trick me. My lips are sealed. Plus they'd rip me a new one if I blabbed anything." She knew Shiori would at least. Laughing she imagined the rest of her friends beating her down for so much as mentioning any little detail. Siete on the other hand looked at the girl laughing to herself and wondering what crazy things she could possibly be imagining. Shrugging it off, he let his mind wander back to the day he was changed.

After a painful 2 hour limp back to his house, the young man wanted to just collapse on the ground and sleep for what would seem like eternity. But if he did that… if he did that his mother would worry more and with her being of old age, he could not afford her heart that strain.

"Siete! Siete! Where are you!" Shouts of that category, he could hear coming from the nearby area. One in particular was very close. Rounding the corner, the owner of the voice came into full view. It was the neighbor's little girl, Karim. She was a short girl of around the age of 8 years old. In her high, squeaky voice she called again, "Siete! Come out, come out – SIETE!!! You're back!! MOMMY! DADDY! I FOUND HIM! I FOUND SIETE!" The brown-haired, brown-eyed girl ran to Siete and enveloped him in a death grip. "We were so scared, Siete. You took so long, your mother got very worried and got everbody involved!" With that last expression and huge hand sign, people started coming around the corners looking well flushed and out-of-breath.

Siete's mother, eyes filled with tears, tore through the small house they lived in together to see if her baby truly was home. She rushed up to him and slapped him across the face, tears streaming down her face by this point. "HOW DARE YOU!! You know what this day means to me and the events that took place. Coming back ludicrously late was not a wise choice on your part. I believed something horrible had happened to you. Flashbacks of your father were all I could picture. Just-" Sniffling she wiped her tears from her face as she looked into his eyes and though she tried to hide it, was stricken with a face of pure fear. The relief and shock was let go for now, only because she wished to finish her lecture. "If anything were ever to happen to you now, I wouldn't be able to handle it. You know that. Please head inside and we'll get everything started for today." Putting her arm around his back, she led Siete in the house for his, unknown to any of them, first immortal birthday

"You know Melody, the day I became a vampire, I came back to my village as anyone else would have. I never did tell any of them what had happened that day. Still, though I did not say a word, I believe my mother knew something. When I came home, she looked into my eyes and for a split second her eyes were full of fear." Lying on his back, hands behind his head, he looked up at the vast sea of stars. "It's funny, a mother's intuition. No one in this day and age besides you knows of what transpired."

"That's how it should be Siete. If anyone found out who knows what could happen. I believe you are referred to as a true immortal correct?" She eyed him respectfully, knowing full-well what other vampires call him.

"Yes, they do. Your point?"

"Wellllllll… if any of the others found out that you became a vampire by drinking someone else's, hence my, blood then they just wouldn't respect you as much and I'm afraid that things would become several times harder for you."

"Still, whether or not I was turned from making a deal with the devil or drinking your blood will not matter. I'm powerful enough that I can call on comrades or command respect from whatever part of the vampiric world I choose without protest. Time to change subject." Nodding, she agreed but after the talk they just went through, all that could follow was awkward silent.

Stretching out her legs and propping herself up with her hands, Melody leaned back. "Sooooo…."

"So what?"

"What exactly have you been up to lately?" Peering over her shoulder she hoped her gaze would get him to actually get him to give something up.

Grinning like a damn fool he looked at her with one eyebrow up. "Just as you cannot talk about your 'powerful friends', I cannot talk about what I do. Did you honestly believe I would tell you that easily?" Pondering she sat up a bit and made a mock impression of thinking.

Sarcastically she replied, "For a minute there I did."

"How about a new deal? For every question I answer of yours, you answer of mine. Sound fair?" The air seem to be like that of cat and mouse with all the playful but competitive energy floating around.

"First wipe that weird look off your face, it doesn't suit you. And second it sounds decent enough. Do we get to save that question for another time?"

Going over it in his mind, Siete agreed with a nod. "Now, I go first. Where are you living right now?"

"Why does that even matter? It's not like you could come live with me."

"I may not be able to live with you but I can visit you. So tell me where it is."

"It's in Kahului, HI. Right across the street from Maui High School, easy access and all. Why would you care?"

"Listen, Mel. Now that I know you're here, I want to be able to protect and make sure you're safe. You're the one who gave me this life. Which I am eternally grateful for, more than you might know. Due to this, I'm inviting you to go to Las Noches with me this Friday at 11pm." For a moment there, she figured he was just trying to pull her strings. That was until she looked into his those orbs of black abyss. The intensity of them and his unfaltering voice surprised Melody in a good way, which followed with an agreeing with nod.

Laying her head on his chest, Mel used her sultriest voice, stating, "Well, that is, as long as I can have as much fun as I want." Smiling, she gazed up into the night sky and let her imagination wander, getting lost in the vast amount of stars. But all Siete could hear was the slow, rhythmic beating of her heart. Listening to the sounds of individual preferences, Siete and his current companion fell into a blissful sleep.

AN:

When my bro gets around to it, I'll have a pic of Siete posted on my myspace. If he's willing to I want him to draw Silver too. But that's not until he gets it done and we'll see what it's like later. Anyways, I hope you like it and if you can please review. It's been years since I've written and I know I need some major work. So any critique is good. See ya as soon as I get the next chapter done.
