Okay, I no I haven't updated in a while and u can probably hate me for it but I hope that it hasn't upset you that much. Y, C I made a bet with Aznyx that I would have it finished soon and she said that if I didn't, she'd kill me, so in short I have no choice but to finish it A.S.A.P. Well enough of my life, just get reading.
Note: I own none of the characters in this so don't sue me!
Chapter 4: Betrayal"She's getting into my plans too much. The quicker we get her to us the better." Trieze said to Amidamaru. The vampires were back in their sanctuary and Trieze, Amidamaru, and Heero were in the common room, going over what had just happened.
" Calm down Trieze, our plans aren't ruined…" Amidamaru began.
" Damn the plans! I'm not talking about the plans!" He turned to face Heero.
"I'm talking of were people's loyalties lye." Trieze's eyes flashed silver as he stared at the prince.
"Tell me Heero, what was said between you and the slayer as you fought?"
" Nothing of importance Trieze. It's not your concern." Heero said, glaring at the king.
" If it involves my plan, then it is my concern!" Trieze snapped back.
"Exactly what is your plan Trieze? What is the great slayer spoiling?" Heero asked, knowing that he had breached a new topic. Trieze grew silent. He calmed himself, realizing that if he continued the argument his plans would be revealed.
"The plan is for you to fulfill the prophecy and become the rightful king of vampires. I'm guiding you, helping you retrieve that ultimate power, but how can I do that when you're talking to the slayer about god knows what!" Trieze said, trying to regain control of the situation.
"Whatever. Just make sure that you know what you're doing." Heero snapped back as he left the common room. The door shut behind him, leaving Trieze and Amidamaru behind. He turned to face Amidamaru.
"Come on… we've work to do."
The prince paced back and forth in his room, different thought racing through his mind. He was interrupted by the low growl of his stomach, which was empty. He was hungry; he hadn't eaten anything all day. He called one of his female servants into the room and whispered something in her ear. Moments later, she returned with a silver pitcher and mug. She placed the items on the table next to him and left the room. Heero took the pitcher and tilted it towards the cup, allowing the thick, red substance to fall into the cup. He brought the cup to his lips, letting the taste of the blood awaken his senses.
Good. It's not human, he thought as he continued to gulp down the substance. The last time he had tasted human blood was when he was a young teenager. He was on a hunt and he needed something to tie him over until he returned to the sanctuary. He decided to feed on a woman he had found walking alone in an empty alley. He only planned to drink a little, only enough to keep him from fainting. Unfortunately, once the woman's blood touched his lips, he became obsessed. The more blood he drank, the more he wanted. It was only afterwards did he realize that he had drained her, killing her. It was his first time he had killed a human, anyone, and he hated the way it felt. Ever since then, he swore off human blood.
Once he finished drinking the animal blood, he placed the cup back on the table, his stomach full. He stood up and began pacing back and forth again, and finally decided to get out of the sanctuary and take a walk out on open grounds. He slowly made his way through the marble halls towards the sanctuary exit. From his room, down two corridors, a flight of stairs and around a corner, he found himself at Trieze's bedroom door. He was tempted to enter, but decided against it. Before he could take one step, he heard whispers inside the room. He pressed his ear against the door, closed his eyes, and concentrated on the voices inside.
" According to the prophecy, Heero will; become king during the red moon and after he has drunk the blood from San 'Aui, the eternal fountain." It was Trieze.
"Exactly when does the red moon occur and where is San 'Aui?" his second in command asked.
"It says that the red moon's rays open a door which reveals the fountain, and it occurs every fifty years."
" When is the next red moon?" Amidamaru asked.
" One month." Hero heard Trieze answer
"This means that Heero has one month to prepare for his role as king,and I… well I have one month to execute my plan for world domination. Once Heero receives his ultimate power, my plans will be complete… complete enough to keep Heero's powers for my own."
Heero removed his ear from the oak door and stood to his feet.
So Trieze is planning to betray me is he, Heero thought to himself as he backed away from the door. The prince barely trusted him, and now that Heero had found out his guardian's plans, the once of trust he had quickly diminished.
"Trieze, you think I didn't suspect something like this? Well you were wrong. We'll see who deceives who." Heero whispered to himself as he disappeared into the shadows.
The slayer had just finished a session of training, and the punching bag she had used was nothing more than a hanging piece of leather now. Serena draped a towel around her neck and got a bottle of water from the refrigerator. As she drunk, she wiped the sweat off her face with the towel, and looked out of the living room window. It had begun to rain. As the droplets hit the window, Serena turned, went to her room, and threw the towel on her bed.
" Luna…" she called. The black cat jumped on her dresser and began to purr as Serena scratched her behind the ears. The slayer smiled as the cat relaxed under her touch. A soft tap meet Serena's ears, drawing her attention from the cat to the window, She narrowed her eyes as she made her way to the window, opened it, and allowed the vampire prince into her house.
"What do you want?" Serena asked harshly as she leaned against her dresser and stared at Heero. His brown hair was matted down due to the rain, and his clothes were soaked. He stared at the slayer in her black sweat pants and white tank top.
"First you invite me into your home, then you ask what I want. I thought it was the other way around slayer." Heero said. Serena said nothing as she threw him a towel.
" You still haven't answered my question vampire." She said as she picked up a dagger from her dresser and fingered it.
"I want to make a deal with you…" Serena stopped twirling the dagger and looked at him.
"Go on." She whispered.
"I tell you Trieze's plan and attempts, in return… you help me with my plans to get rid of him."
"Why do you want to overthrow your fath…" Serena began.
"That man is not my father!" he yelled, throwing the wet towel to the floor. His hair was now dry and through his bangs, Serena could see his Prussian blue eyes turn gold in anger and frustration.
" I don't know what the deal is between you and Trieze, but about this deal…" she aimed the dagger towards Heero's head as if she were about to throw it at him, but instead sent it into the wall behind him. " You're on." She turned and left theroom, leaving the prince somewhat amused.
"So what exactly is your fa… Trieze's plan?" Serena asked, taking a seat on her leather couch.
" Well, he's planning to steal my powers and rights as king and use them to control the world… that is if you put it in simple terms." Heero answered, coming out of the room and leaning against the doorway. Serena looked at him as he took a seat across from her.
" And what do you want from me?" Heero grinned at her.
"I want you to help me stop his plan of world domination.
"How do I know this isn't some trap to kill me and you're along with Trieze in this whole world domination thing?" Heero looked at her.
" If I was with him in his plan, do you think I'd be here now?" His eyes were soft and actually sincere.
""What do you get from stopping him?"
" My life." They both were silent.
"What's you big plan?" She asked.
"First we've got to get the book of vampires. It's kept in a secret vault at the sanctuary. Once we've got that, we'll make up everything from there." Serena got to her feet and headed to the door that was next to her bedroom. She opened it and stepped inside the dark, walk-in closet. Heero stepped in after her, curious as to what was inside. Once the slayer switched on the light, a large variety of weapons met Heero's eyes. On the walls were dagger, swords, axes, stakes, and other slaying weapons. As Serean began to grab her weapons, Heero fingered a sword with a metal hilt. He then fingered the long steal blade, which had a dragon carved in it.
As the vampire held his attention on the sword, he heard the click of a weapon. He turned to see an automatic bow and arrow pointed to his head, the slayer behind it, glaring at him intently.
"Two things… one… just like that pretty little ring around your neck… don't like anyone touching y things… and two… just because I'm going along with your plan doesn't mean I like… nor does it mean I trust you… it just means in the end… I may get the chance to kill you." She gave him a sly grin as she removed the weapon from his head.
"Just thought you should know." Serena said as she left the weapons room. Heero grinned as he followed the slayer out of the door, and prepared to return to the dreaded sanctuary.
