Powers of a Full Moon
Chapter 4
Asami and Kayla were done shopping and heading back to the house when Asami felt that was someone was following them again. She had felt this all day since she left the alley. She stopped and looked around. But something else also had her on edge. Something in the air made her senses go wild. Something wasn't right.
"Something wrong Miss?" Kayla asked.
"No. Every things fine." She smiled to reinsure that everything was indeed fine. "I'm going to go for a walk."
"Ok. Don't be out to long." Kayla said as she walked into the house. Asami nodded and walked off towards the near by woods. She sensed what ever it was, was coming from there and she needed to find out. As soon as she caught a familiar sent in the wind she started running as fast as here human body would let her. 'I knew something wasn't right' She thought to herself as she came to the sight where the sent was the strongest. As she looked around she could have sworn she had just walked into a horror movie. Blood was splattered all around, mangled and torn bodies where scattered through out the area, everything was still fresh. Something or someone had lost control and she had a feeling that she knew what had.
Looking around she tried to figure out which way the person went but couldn't figure it out. The only thing she knew was that someone was near and was following her closely. Turning to her left she followed the path the bodies seemed to be pointing. But after a while she came to a clearing in the woods. Nothing but a meadow, no signs of anyone or anything. Everything was quiet… to quiet.
She could still tell that someone was following her. She stopped and glared up into the trees. "I know you're there! Why are you following me?"
The guy in the black cloak from earlier jumped down from the tree and landed in front of her. "I want an answer."
"Like I told you earlier it was none of your business." Asami said crossing in front of her chest and shifted her weight to her one side.
"Yes it is. Now tell me why!" He said quiet annoyed with this girl. He had only ran into her twice so far, besides the first time when he saved her, and she kept on giving him an attitude. Did she not know who he was? Or at least heard of him to give him the respect he deserved. He guessed not. But he couldn't go all out crazy on her; she was probably new and didn't know. So he would teach her instead.
"Like I said earlier. I heard something and went to check it out. And that's all I'm saying."
"I still believe your lying."
"So?"
"I don't like liars." He admitted.
"Oh well… deal with it."
"You're getting quite annoying."
"I know." Asami grinned like a little kid would when they get annoying and knew it. And still continued on for the fun of it.
"Well then…" He let out a heavy sigh, "…I have a question to ask."
"If it's still about the following thing. I already told you my answer."
"No. It's a different one."
"Go ahead and ask then."
"Why are you here? I know you are new to this town. So are you just visiting or what?"
"That's more like two questions." She said leaning back against a tree. What ever was bothering her before was now gone, but she still wanted to know what happened to those people back there. She knew she was going to have a long night burying those bodies and taking care of the mess her kind left behind. Even though she hated humans sometimes, including being one herself, she knew better then let her kind be found out. And when they did she would take care of those or someone else would. Like when she was first found out all those years ago.
"So… Would you just answer them anyway?" He asked looking to her. He began to wonder what she was thinking about as her gaze shifted off after she had spoken then back on him with a glare. Like he had done something to her that she would never forget. Just who was this person? He thought as she seemed to keep his interest at bay.
"I'm just on my way through, while traveling on vacation…" Asami trailed off as she looked off into the distance. 'Traveling… vacation… something I haven't done for the longest of time…' She sighed softly.
"Why are they staying with that lady, Mrs. Kayla then? She's a friend of someone I despise very deeply." He almost hissed. He hated Kore more then anything in this whole world. He was someone he wanted gone and wanted his power. He would then use this new power to make things right.
'So he knows of my father. This isn't good. I can't let this guy know I'm working for him and set out to kill this guy. Let alone let this guy know I'm the Vampire lord's daughter!' "Who is person you hate so much?" She asked putting on her best acting abilities showing that she showed interest in which this person was.
"Some one with a great amount of power and doesn't know how to use it properly. But that's something different. Why are you staying with her?"
"Well while I was passing by the other day, I was very much drained from traveling so much and she decided to let me stay with her."
"Really?"
"Yes really."
"Good cause if you were involved with Mr. Kore I would probably have to kill you."
'I can't believe he fell for it.' Asami smiled little. "Well then it's good that I'm not involved with this Mr. Kore then?" She said in a slight confused way as to who this Mr. Kore was. She couldn't help but smirk in the inside at how good of an actor she was.
"Yes. I hate killing others with out a good reason, especial ones that are cute." He smiled a little and sat down in front of her.
Asami blinked and looked down at him as she slid to sit on the ground too then looked quickly away.
"So what is your name?" He said tilting his head slightly to one side, making his hood slid slightly showing a little more of his face. His eyes where still hidden, but yet he could see her clearly through the cloth.
"As…." 'I can't tell him my real name then he'll know I was lying to him.' "Sasami… Hegira" She mumbled quickly with slight embarrassment in her voice.
'Hmm almost sounds like Mr. Kore's daughter's name. But it doesn't have an S in front of it. Oh Well…' He thought, "What a beautiful name, it fits you. " He smiled. "I'm Kyle Honiara. Nice to meet you."
'I knew it. I knew it was him!!' Asami almost smirked but caught her self and turned it into a very small smiled. "Nice to meet you too." Asami said never looking at him, but away.
"Are you mad or something?" Kyle asked curiously.
"Nope."
"Than why don't you look at me? You keep on looking away."
"I'm just distracted…. And thinking…" She said shrugging then sighed.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Ok... then…" There was a long silence between the two of them. Asami just sat there and closed her eyes after a while and listened to the birds chirp as the sun started to set. The scent of death began filling the air almost making her gag slightly.
"Ah night time. The best time of the day… uh… ur night…." He began to say but paused as Asami turned to look at him with a slight eye brow raised. "…You know what I mean…"
"I do. I love the night. I think it's the best time to travel."
"Why? Are you vampire and not telling me?"
Asami opened her eyes and looked at the sky. 'Shit. Maybe he knows? Maybe I can fool him again.' "Nope just a plain human. See… No fangs." She smiled to show that she had no fangs. "I traveled at night cause it was cooler and I love being in the dark."
Kyle looked at her with slight amusement at how she was just able to do that with out cringing or anything when most humans would said that their fake. "I see you believe in vampires and what not?"
Asami nodded. "I do… I might have ran across one or two of their paths before." She said truthfully. At least he was falling for everything she had said.
He blinked. "I'm quiet surprised your still alive… and human."
"I guess I'm just lucky." She said looking way again. "I've been having a lot of weird luck lately." She mumbled softly and quickly.
"Hmm?"
Asami shook her head. "Nothing…"
There was another moment of silence. "But that's no always being a good thing." Kyle said randomly.
"What's not always a good thing?"
"Traveling in the dark alone and facing vampire and still being alive and human." Kyle said as he brought up the conversation from before.
"Oh and why is that?"
"Well this area has a few thugs as you know. Robbers and of course vampires. Who I must say love to drink the blood of a human. Especially a cute girl like your self." Asami now noticed that he was very close to her. And had whispered the last part very closely to her ear. It sent a small shiver down her spine.
"I've deled with those kind before. And you're a vampire aren't you?' She already knew he was but she was acting like she didn't.
"Really now? And yes I'm a vampire. But could you deal with me?' he said sitting back now so he could look at her.
"Yeah. I probably could." She turned to look at him. She watched as he took off his hood and smiled showing his fangs. He had short blondish-goldish hair. And blue piercing eyes that reminded her of ice with the sun shinning brightly down upon it. 'Damn he's cute... Shit!! I'm not and can not think like that!! Bad thoughts bad Asami!!' Asami shook her head a little then looked away again; she regretted even looking at him in the first place.
"Something wrong?"
"No. Just my mind wondering…."
"Like where?''
"You don't need to know." She would have looked at him. But if she did then she would have those thoughts again and won't be able to think of a way to kill him. 'The only way I will be able to found out more about him is to … Damn… I really don't want to do this... but I'm… going to have to be his friend, gain his trust and learn more about him.'
"Ok if you say so. But do you still think you can deal with me?"
Asami sighed a little. "You really want to know if I can or not. Why?"
"Cause I can prove you wrong. No one is stronger then me!" He grinned wide. He was enjoying this and he was showing it. He loved proving people wrong and he began to wonder how strong she was. 'If she's strong enough maybe I might be able to convince her to be one of us… to be on my team…'
"You sound quite sure of your self."
"Well it's true. I haven't been defeated in over 200 years… Actually since I first became a vampire."
"Wow 200 years you say?... That's a pretty long time. But you'll never know you could be defeated on day." She said with a slight smirk and a small shrug.
"I highly doubt it."
"I don't think you should doubt anything. Maybe I could be the one who defeats you."
"Now your sounding sure of your self." He smiled.
"What it could be true." She turned to look at him as she did Kyle pinned her back to the tree faster then she could blink or even take a breath.
"You still think you can?" Kyle said his fangs bearing. He lowered his head to her neck as like he was going to bite her. When she used all her strength and using her feet she pushed him off of her.
"Yes I still think I can deal with you." Asami said as she quickly stood up. She stood looking at him.
"You were lucky on that one." He said standing straight his fangs still bearing. "But do you really think you can take me on right now. I was just taking it easy on you a few seconds ago, but I wont this time."
"Probably. But I wouldn't be any good with my sword of course."
"So you know how to use a sword? How interesting."
"Yes. I was trained since I was little. So when I travel around I have some protection."
"Well that's a good thing. But swords aren't always good protection."
"I know that's why I had learned martial arts as well."
"Hmm a girl who knows how to fight hand to hand and with a sword." Kyle said as he started to fantasize. 'She really would make a good member of my team. Perhaps first caption… second in charge?... The possibilities are endless…. There could be so much done with her at my side… I might then be able to finally defeat him with her help!!" He got lost in thought.
Asami sighed as she heard him talk like that and saw the far away look in his eyes. "Would you stop fantasizing already?! God! All guys are the same."
"You're quiet wrong. I'm not like other guys." He said looking at her. Snapping out of his thoughts.
"Yes you are. Most of the guys I have run into lately have constantly fantasized over me because I can fight hand to hand and with a sword… and for other reasons…"
"And maybe because you're cute." He said grinning a little.
"Ugh… I kept on hearing that from them too!!" She said crossing her arms.
"It's true…"
"Yeah, yeah. What ever." She looked away again her arms still crossed.
"Why don't you just accept it? You know it's true." He said as he walked closer over to her.
"Cause I kept on hearing it all the time. I'm getting feed up with it." She looked at him. "Don't you dare come any closer or I will kick you away."
"Ha ha. I would like to see you try that." He said coming closer, daring her. He really would like to see her try. He thought it would be very interesting to watch.
She steeped back as far as she could go as she put space between them. When he got closer she steeped back and so on and so forth until she ran out of room and back up against a tree. "Don't have any father to go do you?" He was now standing right in front of her.
"Oh please I could still kick you away if I have to."
"Yeah… right." He chuckled softly taking a steep even closer so that he was no more then a few inches away.
Asami sighed and glared at him. "I don't want to, but if I have to I'll kick in one spot that will hurt you no matter if you're a vampire or not. You're still a guy. And you should still be able to feel." She let her gaze drift to that one spot for a second then look up at him with a grin.
He followed her gaze then glared at her. "You wouldn't?"
"I would."
"Fine then." He steeped back and pulled his hood up. "You wouldn't be able to anyway but it's about time I had to go."
"Why you chicken? I thought you wanted to see if I could take you down or not?" She said standing up straight.
"Later we'll find out. When we meet again bring your sword. Then we'll see if you can take me down." He bowed to her then disappeared into the darkness. Asami sighed and slid down against the tree trunk and sat on the ground staring at nothing. 'This is going to be harder then I thought. There's got to be some way I could kill him. But I have to wait till I'm a vampire again in three more freaking days.' She got up and walked to the spot where all the dead bodies laid. "This is going to be a long night." She sighed as she began to gather dry wood, leaves and grass to start a fire.
Kyle appeared at the entrance of the forest he had just come from. His gazed fixed on the area straight a head, deep in the forest, where he had left Sasami. He knew that something was up with that girl. She smelt different then human but not vampire either, and no one, or no human, ever dared to threaten a vampire let alone stand up to them and still live. He was going to find out this girls secret but first he had business to take care of. One of his kind had got out of control and he was going to have to teach them a lesson then get someone to clean up the mess. Turning he ran off, nothing but a quick blur to the mortal eye.
Well I hoped you enjoyed this long/somewhat long chapter. Please tell me what you think. R&R
