Chapter 4:

Renewal

I watched as another energy ball from my body turned red and hit my rock wall of my room. I hated him more then ever now! "I'm going to kill that son of a bitch!" I screamed as I walked out angrily and started my way to the Hall of Sports.

"Aiden, what's with you?" someone asked. I turned around harshly and glared at Madden.

"I'm fine, now come on," I said as I threw him my old sword and made him walk with me.

"Ummm…?" Madden was confused I could tell, but I didn't really care. What I cared about was getting some anger out and fast!
"I'm taking you to the Hall of Sports, to met Vanze, he's going to finish blooding you," I said with out hesitation. Madden stopped, shock written all over his face. "Get moving," I yelled at him as we walked down the tunnels. Madden stayed quiet the whole time and even when we arrived at the Hall.

"Vanze!" I called out. We waited as an older looking vampire came walking up to us. He still looked the same. When I first met him he had nether of his eyes, but with my powers I gave him one back, because that's all he asked for. Actually I did it when he was sleeping.

"Hello, Artemis. Where's this quarter-vampire you want me to finish blooding?" Vanze asked. I pointed to Madden behind me and made him come forward.

"Start his training after you finish. I'm going to go blow off some steam," I said as I started walking over to the Hand-to-hand fighting rings. Vanze smiled as he started leading Madden over to a corner, but not before making a comment.

"Go easy on 'em, Artemis!" Vanze yelled. I just waved him off as I walked over to where a crowed of smelly men stood watching a fight between two other male vampires.

"When will it end?" I said lazily to the male next to me. He looked down at men and jumped back in surprise.

"Well, my, my! Gents I think we have a pretty female wanting to challenge one of us," the man announced to the entire Hall; it soon erupted in laughs, well that is until that man went flying across the Hall; it soon stopped in shocked.

"Yeah I have that effect. Anyone else?" I yelled out as I pulled my sword out. Soon the whole swarm of men ran towards me. Most of them I knocked out with my energy blast, but some of them I was actually fighting. I did a double back hand-spring and punch a guy.

"Fuck!" I yelled over the noise. Finally I hand enough. I start to gather energy in my hands and put a force-field around my body. "Bye bitches!" I yelled at the men before the energy exploded and knocked all the men out. When I opened my eyes, the Hall was a mess, but nothing that couldn't be picked up. I let me force-field fall down and started to walk over to where Madden and Vanze had hidden them selves from the blast.

"ARTEMIS!" a huge voice boomed through the hall. I looked over to see it was Mika.

"Great," I sighed. I knew he wasn't there to fight, but as a higher authority. I watched him walk over to me; I stood my ground. "What?" I asked.

"What the hell was that!" Mika started to lecher me. I sighed as I waited for him to yell at me. This went on for about two minutes before I got angry again.

"Will you fucking shut up!" I complained as I punched the prince, knocking him clean out. I sighed angrily as I walked over his body and out of the Hall of Sports; leaving Vanze with Madden.

By the end of that day, Evanna and Vancha had my head and the whole clan knew I was back. Vancha and I had deiced that we would keep low, even if we were back. And I had blown that cover. They soon came to an agreement that I wouldn't use my powers, but that didn't work out to well. They finally gave up and let me do whatever I wanted.

"Aiden, you awake?" Madden whispered in my ear. I smacked him across the face for waking me up.

"I am now," I sighed once more as I lifted my self off of the small bed I slept on. Madden sat next to me on the floor.

"So…?" Madden said quietly.

"Why in the hell did you wake me up?" I asked stubbornly. Madden smiled.

"Thank you," I was taken aback. I was never said 'thank you' too even when I was human.

"Why?" I asked weirdly.

"For having Vanze finish turning me," Madden smiled at me. I shook my head.

"You know it was to only half-vampire don't you?" Madden nodded his yes as he scooted closer to me. I was still tired so I laid my head on his shoulder. We just sat there in compatible silence. "Thank you, Madden," I said as I felt my ice heart start to drip.

"For what?" he looked down at me with eyes filled with love and warmth.

"For everything," I said before I drifted off back to sleep. Madden smiled once more at me, before lifting my body up and placing me on the bed; he just laid next to me and soon fell asleep himself.

That night I felt that safest I had ever felt in years; even if it was in the arms of my assistant. Evan today I wish that night never ended, because that morning I woke up to a sight never wanted to see.

I started to stir and became awake because of huge banging outside my room. My eyes started to open, but too late I say. My body hit the cold, hard ground as it rolled off my not so comfy bed. I looked around as my head popped up from the ground. My room was filled with the reek of blood. "What the hell?" I asked my self as I pulled on my jeans and a t-shirt and walked outside my room. Every Vampire that was in the mountain at that time was running around, putting on armor and getting weapons.

I walked farther down the tunnel dodging vampires as I walked to Madden's and Vancha's room. "Aiden!" I shot around as I heard my voice being called. Vancha was standing there docked out in his purple furs and two new strands of stars on his torso.

"What's going on?!" I yelled out as I fought my way to him. I was pushed up against the wall of the tunnel; I pushed back only to see the vampire was gone. I felt Vancha grabbed my hand and take me to a corner. "Vancha what the hell?" I asked again. Vancha looked around to make sure we were out of the way, and then turned back to me.

"Steve; he's not dead," Vancha explained. My eyes grew wide as I looked for more. "He's here. He's leading the rebellion of Vampaneze," Vancha spoke. Then I realized it.

"Where's Madden?!" I asked sacredly.

"He's down in the armoire, where we should be," Vancha said as we both ran down to the armoire.

"Does that mean he is here and they're attacking?" I asked as we arrived. Vancha nodded as he pushed me in.

"Yeah they're here, like I said. Now get weapons," Vancha order as he walked over to Madden. I nodded as I grabbed knives, two strings of stars, another sword and one of my favorites, a bull whip. I tied the second sword below the sword of retribution. My bull whip hung on the other side on my ripped jeans; the two strings of stars I wrapped around my left thigh. I stuck my favorite knife in one of my combat boots. The rest on them I wrapped around my lower waist. After I had all my weapons in place I walked over to where Vancha was getting Madden ready.

"Vancha, I don't think he's ready," I state trying to help Vancha with Madden. Madden sighed and thanked to me.

"Aiden the best training there is, is the fighting kind," Vancha told me as he used his famous smirk on me. I shook my head at him as I fallowed him out of the armoire, Madden behind me.

I turned to him, "You get killed, I'll hurt you," I said as we started to run to the Hall of Princes for orders from the Lord. When we arrived, Darren was pacing around his throne with a little man in a yellow suite and green rain boots was standing next to him with a heart watching in his hand. "Tiny…," both Vancha and I growled. Madden just stood there wondering who her was.

At his name being called out, Mr. Tiny turned and looked strait at Vancha and me. "Ahhh, Miss. Skyler; Vancha," Mr. Tiny cooed as he walked over towards us. "And this must be Mr. Madden Hayes," Madden nodded as Mr. Tiny walked in front of him. I jumped in front of Mr. Tiny and stood in his way to Madden. Of course this didn't work out to well because Madden was 6'4 and I was 5'0 ½. I grabbed one of my knives out of the belt I had put it into and held it defensively towards Mr. Tiny.

"Stay away, Dipshit," I growled. Mr. Tiny just laughed as he backed away and walked back over to Darren.

"I like her, Darren." Mr. Tiny said before his heart-shaped watch glowed and he was gone. Darren sighed, before he smiled again.

"Desmond explained everything to me. Steve was brought back by a witch; she died right after, but Steve is back to take revenge," Darren sighed in aggravation as he slumped down in his throne. I laughed on the inside.

"So Leonard is back for another round, eh?" Vancha said as he cracked his knuckles. "Can't wait," he finished before he looked at me. Everyone knew both Madden and I were blooded after Steve died, but I, still during, near the end of the War of Scars; Madden hadn't been.

Vancha turned to me and Madden. "Guess we need to explain a few things eh?" Vancha thought as he made me and Madden sit down. He started at the beginning at the first battle of the War of Scars. About thirty five minutes later I jumped up and hit Vancha upside the head. "Dumbshit, you can explain this later, we have a job to do outside," I growled at him as I grabbed Madden and started too walked outside the Hall of Princes. "Oh and Darren, since he's your brother you wouldn't you mind killing him again?" I asked menacingly as I looked back. Darren smirked as he jumped off of his throne and walked towards me. He took my face in his rough hand and whispered in my ear.

"Never in a million years would I mind," Darren whispered. I stood shocked as I nodded agreeingly his way. 'This in the one time I wont try to kill you,' I thought as I grabbed hold of Vancha's green hair and lead the group of us out to the awaiting battle in the Hall of Khledon Lurt.

I don't know what came over me at that moment, but when I looked into Darren's eyes I knew he wasn't the happiest that Steve was back and right then I knew he was my ally. I still, deep down, hated him for what he did. But after having to be around him so much all these years I was starting to forgive him, little by little, but not enough to be his queen.

The four of us were at the opening of the Hall, when Vancha and I stopped Darren and Madden from going any further. "Hold it, she's got to do her thing," Vancha whispered to Darren and Madden as he put his index finger to his mouth to tell the two to be quite. Darren nodded, knowing what I was about to do, but Madden stood in confusion on the side of the wall.

I poked my head around the corner to see if I could see anyone visually, but I didn't; too bad for them. I turned back to Vancha and nodded, he nodded back as did Darren. I closed my eyes and muttered a word under my breath. Soon I opened my eyes back open, by the way they were I could tell the old spell pulled it off again.

Madden stood in shock as he looked at my eyes. "What the…?" he whispered. Vancha turned to him.

"It's a spell," Vancha started. He looked back at my eyes. They had now turned into snake like eyes, more dragon like I say. "It makes her eyes like that," Vancha then pointed to my eyes once again, "the spell is Syria Lazar. It changers her eyes to that of a Dragon or snake, so she can see what vampires or humans can't," Vancha explained to Madden. He nodded.

I looked around the room with only my eyes looking through the rock wall. There were five vampaneze on the right and seven on the left. Our allies where tied up and held hostage, because most of the other vampires went underneath to fight with the brut of them down under the mountain. I looked around some more; I found him! Steve was on the left sitting at a table drinking a mug of blood.

I turned back to the three men and fingered out five on the right and seven on the left. Vancha and Darren nodded as they got ready to fight. Madden was told to be a look out as I pulled out another of my old spells. "Chamaki," I whispered. I looked down as my finger tips and toes started to get sticky like a spider's. soon I was climbing on the ceiling as quietly as I could, which was no sound at all.

"Watch," Darren said to Madden. Madden looked with amazement.

"This is why the brutes here call her 'silent death'," Vancha whispered to Madden.

When I was on the Hall ceiling, I looked around and found the easiest vampaneze to start with. Still on the ceiling I took a star from one of the belts around my thigh and launched it at the vamanpeze's neck; so when it hit he would die and wouldn't make a sound. I did this to the first six on both sides, but I didn't want to waste my stars. I looked back out of the Hall and nodded to give Vancha the hint to get ready.

I crawled over to the left and jumped down, reversing the spell so my hands and feet went back to normal. I landed with no sound and as I landed unsheathed my sword and chopped the vamanpeze's head off that was in front of me. "Hi Steve," I whispered in his ear. He turned around shocked. I smirked at him as I nodded for the others to come in.

"You took out seven of my worriers without my knowing?" Steve was dumbfounded as to how I could have done this. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and placed him up against the wall.

"Yep," I said as I sent my hot breath into his ear. I felt his body go tense with pleasure. "Awe, how sad," I said harshly as I threw his into the other side of the Hall. Darren soon came after Vancha, Madden behind both of them. "He's all yours," I said to Darren as I reversed the eye spell and walked out of the Hall of Khledon Lurt.

I was almost to my room before I felt a clawed hand on my shoulder. I turned around slowly knowing it was Vancha. "Hey," I said tiredly.

"Have fun?" Vancha asked in his cocky tone. He knew something was up with me. I shook my head 'no' "Huh?" Vancha stood there confused, "What's up Aiden?" Vancha asked as he led me into my room. I shut my eyes tightly closed as I felt tears making their way up to my eyes. Vancha sat me on my small bed and sat down next to me. I started shaking my head as my hand went up to my eyes trying to get rid of the tears. I hadn't really cried in twenty years, I knew by not crying I was building a wall up between me and the clan; hell the world. But it was my only safety from myself, from everybody, from my own feelings even.

I felt Vancha wrap his warm embrace around me, like he did when we first meet, but it had more feeling in it, more passion and desire, and…love. I looked up at him, the tears fighting to break at any moment. "I feel stupid, Vancha," I said to him as I leaned my entire body into his arms.

"You're not," was his only reply to that. I nodded as I felt the hot tears start to fall

from my eyes, down my cheeks.

"Yes I am," I cried out in his chest. He placed his hand on my head and started to sooth me.

"Why?" Vancha knew not to push me too much, so he just sat back as I cried.

"Because! I've been killing innocent vampires and vampaneze for what they believed in since day one! And since then I've only been fueled by hate and revenge! I'm so stupid!!" I yelled into his chest. Vancha just sighed as I cried harder in his embrace.

"It's not your fault, Aiden," Vancha tried to calm me, but he knew it wasn't going to work.

"Vancha, I'm a killer! A cold, heartless killer! And nobody cares how it makes me feel!" I yelled again as I looked up to face him. I knew by his look, my eyes were all puffy and face was stained red from crying.

"I care," that was what Vancha said before he kissed me; but that's not the crazy part, I kissed him back. The kissed ended only when we couldn't breathe anymore. I looked shocked at him; he just looked away. But I pulled him back and kissed him again. This time it was with passion and grace. This went on for awhile, before he started to lower my body backwards down on my bed.

"Vancha…?" I whispered in his ear. As he started to kiss my neck.

"Shhh…it's only from the moment," Vancha whispered back as he started to take off my clothes; myself doing to same.

Before he said that I thought it wasn't right to be doing that, but once he whispered back in my ear, I knew everything was alright and was going to be alright. That night; I never wanted it to end. All my worries went away, well that is until later in the year when I had a big talk with Evanna.


Oh my gawd! Wow…Vancha and Madden. Jeez Aiden. Ok but anyway. I'll be closing the poll next chapter. And if you're wondering why I did this, well my reasoning; is because Aiden always had a connection to both Madden and Vancha and ever Darren a tiny bit, but I want to give you a glimpse of you non Vancha believers. Lol j/k. Well hope you like it.

Mistress of the Blooded Night.

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
