Finally I get to add the newest vampire to my little coven! Plus I have a use for Hassleberry in this tale as well, I may pair him with Atticus, what do you guys think? Chazz don't go into the light- you don't tan well! I think that writing ZaneXSyrus is fun (Fluff) It's one of the best pairings along with Jaden and Chazz! Who'd go well with Aster? I need help on that one or should I leave him single? Anywho, what couple should have a lemon? Manjoume and Saiyo? you guys pick!

Twilight Hope

Chapter 5

Meeting

It was nearing dawn and Jaden's boat was now drifting aimlessly on the gentle waves, the engine had died after just an hour and he had given up his feeble attempt to fix it. He was preparing for the worst, 'I may be a vampire,but I don't think it'd feel nice to sink to the bottom of the sea', so he had lay down on the deck of his little boat, waiting for the inevitable. Soon the sun was appearing from below the horizon and it's weak beam's of light were reaching Jaden's boat. The slifer red student was not known for his patience and was soon cursing to himself, "this is taking too long" he whispered, but no sooner had the words left his mouth, did he begin to regret them. He sat up when he heard a loud noise somewhere to his left, looking out to sea, he spotted a small yacht heading rapidly toward his own small boat.

Scrambling to his feet Jaden stood next to the railing of his ship, as the larger vessel docked next to his own.

Jaden watched from behind the cabin of his small boat as shadowy figure was seen placing a large plank of wood between the two ships, and deeming it safe they crossed they boarded Jaden's boat. The brunette watched as the figure slowly walked toward him, as if he knew where to look. Jaden made a feeble attempt to hind behind what seemed to be the steering wheel of the ship, but his attempt was obviously unsuccessful when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Jaden jumped to his feet and glared at his unwelcome, yet welcome guest. He was welcome in that he offered Jaden rescue and unwelcome in that Jaden didn't want to anyone to help him in his mission to find a way to kill Sartorius, even if it mean't that he'd die doing it. (A/n: in other words male pride)

What Jaden saw in front of him was not what he had expected, what he had expected was not a handsome grey suited man, his hair was a matching silvery-grey colour, and his eyes were such a vibrant blue that they seemed to glow. The newcomer held a hand out to Jaden to help him up. Later on the strangers boat, the two were drinking tea, Jaden was still wary of the man, who seemed to be nice all-round. Jaden decided to break the awkward silence that had happend after the tea was served, "say stranger, what's your name?" the brunette asked with his usual grin.

"Aster Phoenix" the stranger said in a silky smooth voice that emulated a sense of hidden aristocracy.

Jaden jumped, the surname 'Phoenix' he'd heard of it before, but no matter how much he racked his brain he could'nt remember it now. When he realised he had been staring into space he returned his gaze to his gracious host and noticed that the teenager was looking at him with a smile on his face. "What, is there something on my face?" the brunette said instantly raising hs hand to his face to wipe away any offending piece of food that dare marr his face. When he fond none he saw that Aster was struggling to contain his laughter, but was failing miserably, Jaden watched dumbfounded as the silver-haired male doubled over and allowed his laughter to consume him.

"What is wrong with you" the red-clad male said jumping up and glaring at the teen that was literally choking on his own laughter before him. "I'm sorry" was Aster's response as he regained his composure, adjusting his tie before bringing himself to look Jaden in the eye. "I've never met someone like me who's thought were so erratic" he said waving a hand casually toward Jaden.

"What do you mean 'like me'?" Jaden said eyeing the blue-eyed teen warily, "I mean a vampire" he stated simply. Jaden looked at Aster with eyes as large as saucers, "you're a vampire" he said pointing as the teen who nodded. "I've been searching for more of us" he said looking at Jaden with a serious look, "I need some help as soon as possible" he added, standing up and walking over to the brunette. "I've been following my maker for a long time now and he's gone into you're academy" Aster said looking at Jaden with a smile. Jaden looked up at the teenager with a look of mixed shock and indignation as he realised that they both had the same maker. "I'll try and help you, but first take me back to the academy's island" he said calmly returning to his seat and waited for the silver-haired male to nod his agreement. "Thank you Jaden" Aster said looking to the brunette as he walked out onto the deck.

Zane Truesdale was looking out his bedroom window watching the sunrise, last night he had watched his first companion in his undead walk away from him, and in that same night he had become a fully fledged vampire by mating with another for the first time. Closing his eyes he could hear the thought of anyone on campus that he chose, leaving Syrus to sleep he wanted to test out his powers fully, opening his window he climbed out on his second floor ledge, and dropped to the ground effortlessly. He felt nothing. He only felt furthur distanced from humanity. Shaking the depressing train of thought from his head, Zane climbed his persimmon tree and back in his window. Looking across his room as he did so, he saw Syrus sleeping peacefully under his blackets. "Cute" he muttered to himself walking across the room, slowly pulling off his boots, pants and Jacket he climbed into bed with his little lover. He almost melted when Syrus let out a little moan and snuggled into him. The elder Truesdale brother made himself comfortable before placing a light kiss on his brothers forehead and prepared to fall into a deep sleep with the one he loved.

'I'll tell Syrus about the changes when he wakes up' he thought as he finally drifted off to the land of nod.

Jaden sighed as Aster's boat finally reached the academy's island, it turned out that Jaden hadn't gone thrity-miles before the boat had conked out, he probably would have made it if he'd swam. Jumping off the average-sized yacht, Jaden kissed the ground, vowing there and then to never leave it again. Ignoring the questioning stares he was recieving from Aster, he stood up and dusted himself off. Turning to face the silver-haired vampire, Jaden motioned for him to follow him to the academy, as far as his dorm room at least, hoping that Sartorius would at least have the grace to leave his should-be lover's bedroom.

The two walked silently across the academy, when they reached the main part of canvas, Jaden noticed that something was amiss, he looked at the three dome-like structures and saw that there was the usual red and yellow ones but instead of the royal blue one there was only a plain white one. Choosing not to mention it to Aster, he chose to make a detour and head toward the Obelisk dorm, noting that there was something amiss. When he reached the blue dorm Jaden was shocked to see that it wasn't quite there, the buildinf itslef was there but it wasn't blue anymore, someone had painted it a plain, white colour. Aster looked at Jaden, not quite understanding the gravity of the situation.

Dashing toward the tree he used to enter Zane's room, the brunette signalled for Aster to follow him, opening the window Jaden fell in as Aster jumped gracefully in after him. Zane was sitting up, looking at Jaden with a look of faint annoyance. "I thought you'd gone somewhere to save Chazz" the blunette said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "I did, but i've already got help" the brunette said gesturing to Aster, "I want to ask you if you were aware that the blue dorm is gone?" Zane snapped to attention, "I knew I could smell paint" he said, soothing Syrus back to sleep, as he'd began to stir.

"Look Jaden, I can't leave Syrus right now, i'll meet you after breakfast at the pier" he said in a tone that the two should leave before Syrus woke. "Zane, there's something wrong going on out there" Jaden said looking at the teen as though he knew what it was. "I said i'd help later Jaden, I have to be here for my brother when he wakes up, if you want my help you're gonna have to accept it" he stated simply while pointing to the door to his bedroom, "no-one's on duty now you can get out of here without any hassle". Jaden glared at the navy-haired vampire with resentment and anger before leaving the room, Aster following him quietly.

A small row boat pulled up on the islands south side, nearest the Obelisk girl's dorm. A tall, dark-skinned teenager stepped off the small vessel, taking with him a large back-pack. Clutching tightly at the large cross that hung around his neck he walked a little bit furthur onto dry land. "So this is where you've come to?" he whispered, holding a picture of Aster Phoenix up to the early morning light.
