Night Wanderer
Chapter 7
Secrets Unfold Part 2
Innocence defiled…
Moving his hand through his hair, Harry stood in the gardens savoring the morning peace as he watched the sunrise. It had been two days since Harry had seen any sign of the tricolored vampire. He had asked Elizabeth, but she had refused to tell him Yugi's whereabouts and had disappeared as well.
Things had changed for him over the last to weeks. He had come to peace with himself for the first time since he could remember. There was no Dursely, no Voldemort or anyone else pestering him to drive the darkness in the world away. For once he was just Harry, a young teen trying to understand the life around him.
"Hoot…" Blinking he turned around trying to find the source of the noise. He hadn't seen many owls since he had arrived here.
Elizabeth appeared in the doorway of the mansion carrying a snowy owl in her arm. "It seems that she had been trying to find you for the last few days. I saw her outside the barrier and could smell your scent all over her."
Harry felt himself smile. "Hedwig" he cried out, happy to see a familiar face again.
"Hey girl, have they been treating you ok?" Hedwig cocked her head at the young teen, landing on his outstretched arm. She started to nibble his fingers affectionately. The owl had searched for her master so long and finally being able to be by his side again she felt very relieved and happy.
Turning around his smile disappeared as he saw the normally composed female vampire chewing on her lips, as her eyes wandered toward Yugi's balcony.
"Elizabeth is everything alright?" he asked softly.
Turning her gaze back to him she frowned and shook her head. He shrugged, deciding she doesn't want to talk about what was bothering her; he would not push her into talking to him. Looking back at Hedwig he noticed the small scroll tied to her leg. Smiling once again he noticed the neatly tied ribbon around it, praying that it was Hermione. He gave Elizabeth a worried look once more before turning around and headed back into the mansion to go to his room.
But only a few steps later he stopped after hearing the voice of the vampire: "Harry, wait... "
"Is there something wrong Elizabeth?"
Her gaze suddenly hardened and seemed to weighing him, like she was judging his worth.
"Why do you fight?" she finally asked.
He blinked wondering whatever happened to bring that question up. It was strange nobody had asked him that before.
He locked his gaze with her. "I fight for the people I love and care for, they who would give up their lives for me as I would for them."
The vampire seamed to be lost in her thoughts so he dared to ask: "What about you, Elizabeth?"
She blinked surprised that he would turn the table on her. Her gaze softened. "I fight for him. For so long I kept to myself and didn't want to trust anyone. Nobody ever managed to break down the walls I had set around my soul."
A small smile graced her lips. "But, then he came and gave me a reason to live. He showed me that there are reasons to live for and that we should continue on living and fighting for those we care for, for they are the hope that shows us that life is truly worth living, no matter what."
After a moment to collect her thoughts she continued, her voice a little sad: "His heart will never be mine, I know and accept it but I gave mine to him long ago and I will never demand anything back from him in return. He had already given me his care and comfort. To demand more would be selfish of me and I would risk losing him."
Looking sadly at Harry she continued. "Keep your loved ones close Harry and cherish the time you have with them no matter how short it is. They say its better to experience love for a short time then not to love and be loved at all. I guess that's right because it leaves you with memories, which is better then dreaming of what could have happened."
"Take care Harry." She said after a small pause before turning around and disappearing back into the mansions walls.
Watching him leave to his rooms Elizabeth leaned against the wall. Her emotions toward Harry were confusing her. She didn't know why she had to tell him about a secret that she had kept closely hidden even from Yugi. But, she had felt desperate at that moment… wanting him to understand what the tricolored vampire meant to her. If he came to die she would shortly follow.
She wanted to see if Yugi's sacrifice was in its place. Where humans worth putting the vampire king life in danger to protect? Some time ago she would have answered clearly 'no' but watching Harry the last few weeks, and after feeling the raw emotions she felt because of his answer only minutes ago, she couldn't help but wonder if her master was right. Maybe Yugi's opinion on human was really right after all.
It was true that they where vampires, immortal beings, but death still shadowed their lives… especially since his meetings with Dark lord. She knew that the old snake was bolder with each passing meeting. Elizabeth had insisted that she would go along or he would take some guards with him but he had refused saying he could take care of himself.
She knew about the sexual interest Voldemort held toward her master. Of course he had as usual refused to tell her about anything either the talks they had or about the meeting itself but she had grown suspicious when he kept on returning from every meeting and continued to shower for hours after that. Her suspicions had strengthened, when he once returned and continued to hold her as if afraid that he would be lost in the darkness around him. She gave a silent prayer to who ever was out there, to watch over him.
But it seems that the gods had missed her prayers, for that would explain what was to follow soon after…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Isn't the wine to your liking, my beloved darkness? I made sure that it had blood that was drained from the purest virgin I could find."
Keeping his features schooled Yugi raised the crystal goblet to his lips, and took a sip as he felt the fresh smell of blood overwhelm his senses. He gave a slight node and continued to study his dinning partner across the table. His stay was longer then expected this time and he was starting to loose his patience.
"I am pleased", the Dark Lord said smiling, "for I only aim to please my most cherished guest… one of the few who deserves to be in my presence."
Waving his hand he ordered the cowering figure hidden in the shadows to come closer. The submissive figure ran and kneeled by his master's side. Placing his hand over the servant's face Voldemort lifted it upward and watched silently as the candles shadow moved across its face.
"Hmm, such ugliness exists in the world, my darkness", he turned to the vampire that sat across him and referring to the fearful human he continued: "For example this rat betrayed his friend for power. They were people who, if the situation reversed, would have died for him. Pitiful creatures like him make my world worthwhile."
Turning his gaze back to the cowering man, he commanded sternly: "Leave us! I wish to be alone with my guest now."
Nodding the follower ran off, but was soon stopped on hearing his master's authoritative voice. "Wormtail I want no disturbances no matter the circumstances, I have more important things to handle now. If anyone dares to defy my orders, suffering from the curtiuos-curse would be the least of their worries, as there is no god to give mercy to ones like us. I would certainly not."
"A...ssss you wish ma...ster"
The Dark Lord continued to watch how his follower departed fast and fearful. His red eyes glistened with madness in the dark and after the door was closed he turned around.
"I apologize, beloved. But being surrounded by fools I must make sure that our precious time together would not be disturbed. It has been long since you have graced me with your presence."
The vampire's eye continued to watch the Dark Lord wearily. Saying nothing he continued to sip from his glass waiting for the Dark Lord to show his true intentions. He knew that Elizabeth must be fretting by know, but he had no choice but to stay longer this time. This was the second day of his stay and he was still waiting, watching Voldemort silently from the shadows.
"Speaking about guests, how is young Potter doing in your care? I hope that he hasn't given you much trouble but knowing him he probably did."
Yugi didn't say anything so the wizard continued: "But, nonetheless lets us not ruin our evening together with such trivial matter. Worthless creatures like him are not worth of our time. But I must admit I am starting to get jealous. He is spending much more time around you then I do.'
Moving out of his seat he moved silently till he stood next to the vampire's side and placed his hand on his shoulder. Yugi tried to draw aside but found himself to powerless as he felt his body suddenly become numb. Moving his mouth closer to his ear Voldemort whispered: "I certainly don't like anyone touching what is mine."
Shifting his hand under his dark jacket the Dark Lord started removing it from the vampire's shoulder. Dropping it to the floor he shifted his hand under his shirt moving it over his nipple he felt the young vampire trying to hold back a moan.
"How long have I longed to touch your skin, and feel your lips over mine, as you shift and moan my name loudly… as you squirm beneath me?" Voldemort ask silently and lustful.
Closing his eyes, he slid his tongue across the vampire's throat, as his hand continued to unbutton the vampire's shirt revealing more of his skin.
The wizard interrupted his actions to take a look at the now bare skin. "Yes, you truly are a marvel… a fine piece of work, my dark beloved Yugi."
His lips continue to move against the vampires throat, when he suddenly bit down and continued to suck on the skin he could feel the vampires body shudder with pleasure before it began to struggle.
"I see that you are regaining your senses… Hmm, did I mention that Veelas virgin blood effect on individuals such as you? I have worked long and hard to make sure that I had perfected the potion. A wonder isn't it? As soon as the smell reached your nostrils you would have drunk it no matter what, depriving you of your own freewill."
He moved his hand across the vampires frame. "Yes, for this night your body is mine." He felt pleasure course through his body as Yugi whimpered. "There is no need to fret, my beloved. The shadows can't help you." His hand continued to slide down Yugi shoulder removing his shirt completely off his body leaving the entire upper part of the vampire's body now bare.
Turning his head he smiled taking in the vampire's leaned but muscled figure.
"Yes, you are a miracle, a child of darkness with a beauty of innocence to drive a man wild with desire."
His hand continued to move down Yugi chest to his waist stopping over his belt. "But our activities should not be continued here" he said. "A beauty such as you deserves more…" Sliding his hand around Yugi's waist he carried the dazed vampire, and moved toward the direction of his room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry, who had been reading Hermione's letter, felt a sudden pleasurable feeling course through his body. But suddenly he shuddered and dropped the letter; he wrapped his arms around himself and bit his lips as fear gripped his soul. He could feel that something was going to happen and it wasn't going to be anything good.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elizabeth watched her glass drop from her hand staining the carpeted floor with the crimson content. She shuddered trying to get rid of the rush of fear that suddenly coursed through her.
She got up from the couch placing her book aside. Disquietingly she moved toward the balcony and stood silently, feeling the wind move through her hair.
She looked up to the moon which was shining brightly tonight, whispering sadly to the winds "Yugi…."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yugi could feel himself floating, drifting further into the darkness with each passing minute. He could no longer control his body. Even thought he tried with all his might to move his fingers, all what they could do was twitch.
He suddenly felt himself being lowered onto silken sheets. He moaned moving his head to the right as he felt the bed sag slightly from a foreign weight beside him. A hand moved across his face stroking it slightly. It cupped his cheeks and he felt a mouth covering his, muffling his scream as he felt the other hand pulling his belt he descended into the welcoming darkness, as tears fell from his eye's.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other side of the world
He could feel his bed partner move restlessly beside him. Walking up he placed his hand over the blonds shoulder.
"Joey, are you alright?" He asked worriedly on his partner's unusual behavior.
Joey moved closer burying his face into Seto's chest. "I don't know Seto, but I feel that something is wrong with Yugi…"
He smiled softly at the blond "Don't worry Joey. Yugi can take care of himself. The shadow-realm is by his side after all."
Nodding the blond fell into slumber once more, with a heart full of fear that has been calmed slightly by his lover.
But no sleep was brought to Kiba's eyes once more that night. He opened his dresser pulling out the millennium rod feeling the dark shadow magic course through his body. The shadow realm had started to act up once more for the last two days; the rod was calling out to him to find the millennium items bearer. Tomorrow he would call Malik and Bakura and go off in search of Yugi with them. He felt that Joey was right and that Yugi would need them now more then ever.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He hovered over the drawings he had laid down on the floor earlier, the nagging feeling that he had to hurry was know pulling him more then ever. He could feel the ones who where hunting him getting closer. Closing his eyes he began to chant, a light suddenly flood the room talking the bearer of the medallion to his destiny.
