Disclaimer: ok, ok! You got me; I don't own the Darren Shan Saga or "Sorrow" by Flyleaf.

Ok well I know that was a little different and I guess a little pointless to have a poll, but if you go onto my profile you'll see that I'm having her pair with all of them, but Vancha the most; he was my choice. So yea. But I hoped you guess liked my last chapter and I have a new story out Called 'Come Back Soon.' Hope you read it. Well here it is, the 5th Chapter of Fallen. Oh and I would like to thank my friend wiccawitchnikki for helping my get some ideas and out of a tiny bit of writers block. Thank you!

Chapter 5:

Again...

My eyes shot open as the memory of last night events came rushing back to my mind. I quickly turned to look behind me; there he was, green hair and all. I looked down, both of us were naked and under my sheets. "Charna's Guts!" I whispered harshly as I quickly and quietly got out of my bed and pulled my clothes back on.

I turned back as Vancha started to stir. "Got to get outta here!" I hissed to myself as I ran out of my room. When I left my room I started to head to the Hall of Osca Velm, the Hall of Welcome; I heard there was going to be new arrivals today.

"Aiden! Hey Aiden!" Madden yelled out from behind me. I groaned as I turned around as faced him.

"Hey, Madden; ready from training today?" I asked him. He sighed as he fallowed me to get some food. Vancha and I had already taught him all there's is to know about the vampire world. Yeah he'll learn things as the years go on, but he just learned the basics plus some more.

"Yeah, I guess. Hey Aiden where did you and Vancha go last night?" Madden asked. I stopped moving in my place and looked straight ahead.

"We needed to talk, that's all. He fell asleep in my room. How did Darren do with Steve?" I asked. Madden's face darkened.

"Steve got away, he wounded Darren pretty badly. That's why I came to looking for you, we need you to heal him," Madden said as he started to pull me towards the heath wing. I pulled away.

"That bastard can heal on his own. I won't help him!" I hissed out at Madden as I turned back and walked the way I was first walking. Madden stood there dumbfounded.

"I know he hurt you, but you're going to be his queen, you need to do this," Madden argued back. I growled out as I slammed Madden against the rock wall and held him up by the collar of his shirt.

"I will not heal him! I never will be his queen!" I shouted at Madden before I roughly dropped him on the ground and started to speed walk down the tunnel; Madden left there dumbstruck.

I had made a vow that day. I would never let my feelings get in the way for life. I would never let my ice heart melt and I would never let Darren make me his queen! I doubt that I would ever keep to that vow, but I knew I had to try for myself.

"Artemis I can't believe what you did!" Evanna yelled at me. I was in her room at the moment and was being yelled at. I sighed once again. I was sitting in the throne that usually resided in her room.

"I'm sorry Evanna! It just happened! I was crying; I know crazy I know; and then he kissed me!" I yelled back. I was over stressed as it was. Evanna had tracked me down and forced me to heal Darren. I didn't like it, but I didn't want Evanna's wrath upon me, but I guess I still can't avoid that either.

"Artemis, I think you still don't get the urgent ness of this issue!" Evanna shouted again, before she rubbed her forehead like she was getting a headache. I looked at her weird. "Artemis, remember when I put some of my blood in you?" Evanna asked. I nodded not knowing where she was going with this. "Well what can I do that is so vital to the clan?" Evanna urgently asked me. My eyes went wide.

"Fuck!" I yelled out, before leaving her room.

"Ummm…Aiden, what's wrong?" I heard Madden's voice again. I turned around to face him.

"Nothing, where's Vancha?" I asked with my harsh tone. Madden smiled.

"In the Hall of Princes," Madden told me. I nodded my head before walking off without him. When I arrived I saw the usual green clad guard standing there.

"Hey?! You gonna let me in?!" I yelled at him when he didn't notice I was standing there. The guard walked over towards me, searched me, and opened the Hall of Princes to me. He gave me a smug smirk before I entered, but I just shot him one of my glares.

"Vancha?" I called out as I saw him sitting in Arrow's usual throne. Vancha smiled at me before he jumped off the throne and walked over towards me.

"Yeah?" he asked. I looked around to make sure the other princes weren't listening in on this.

"I need sometime…," I started off, but Vancha cut me off.

"If this is about last night, don't worry, okay?" Vancha seemed cool about everything. It seemed as though he went through a lot of so called 'one-night-stands.' I looked at him. I didn't worry about that but I was worrying for myself. If I spent any more time in this confining space I would blow.

"No, it's not," I said simply. Vancha looked at my funny. "I'm leaving for awhile," I said softly, but strong enough to hold my ground. I knew he hated when I would 'leave for awhile'. I was usually gone fore only two or three months max, but I knew he felt lonely, but now he wouldn't with Madden around.

Vancha's expression exploded in rage. "Artemis!" inside I flinched, but outside I stood my ground; he never used my real name.

"What? I can do whatever the hell I want!" I argued back. By now the entire Hall was silent, but as you saw we didn't care.

"You know I hate it when you leave!" Vancha yelled back at me. I sighed harshly, by now I was pissed.

"Why?! Why?! The only reason you hate it, is because you don't want to do the killing! So you think 'oh I'll just let Aiden do it, she doesn't care.' Well you now what I do care! So for once, you can fucking kill the innocents!" I screamed in rage at Vancha.

A wet, hash, stinging feeling spread through out my face. I looked stunned at Vancha has I held my cheek; he looked at me and then at his clawed hand. I felt my cheek, what I found didn't surprise me. I wiped my hand over my cheek and looked at my hand. A crimson color covered it.

"Aiden…I…I mean…I'm sorry," Vancha was speechless. He had never hurt me before. I shook my head and turned my head away from his face. I shunned him.

"I'll be leaving in the morning," was all my cold, heartless voice said before I opened the Hall door and left.

Even though I, still to this day, say I wasn't surprised, the truth is, I actually was. He had never hurt me, nor hit me. I now knew how much this time here was affecting my life and his. This was never meant for me or him, and now I finally knew that.

I slammed my fist into my bed as hard as my body would allow me to do. "Damn it!" I yelled out as I let my body hit the floor. I just sat there for what seemed like forever, I finally lifted my body off of the cold ground and walked to a drawer in the corner of my room. I opened two drawers; one held clothes, the other held the weapons I still held in my possession after the assassination last night. I looked into the top drawer. I lifted out my favorite outfit of all time. It was a black full body half pleather, half latex, skin tight cat suit, long sleeves and all. Next I pulled out a black corset that went over the cat suit and last but not least I reached in for my favorite par of boots. They were black laced up the front combat boots. I pulled the new outfit on and then reached back into the drawer one last time.

I shut it, but before I did I pulled out a black pleather, embroidered woman's trench coat that went down an inch past my feet. I pulled it over my body and closed the drawer. Finally I looked down into the second drawer. I moved aside the useless cloth that was hiding my weapons and pulled them all out.

I placed them all out, side by side, on the rock ground. First I place the two swords around my tiny waist; I then grabbed my stings of Stars, new and olds ones, and then wrapped them around my left thigh again. I went back and grabbed the bull whip and hung it on my right hip. Finally I grabbed all of my fourteen knives. My favorite one, and biggest, I placed in a plan sheath and hooked in on my upped left ankle. The rest and smaller, very small, ones I wrapped to where they were facing the back on my cloak and the thin strap was facing outside.

Once I was done putting everything in place I looked around my room once last time and walked out. "Aiden?" I turned around at the lost voice. I smirked a tiny bit. I hadn't heard that voice in a long time, a very long time.

"Darius Shan," I said out loud; running it over my tongue. I finally fully turned around and faced Darren's nephew. I hadn't seen him in years. He was the only person in Darren's blood line I probably could ever accept. I didn't even like his mother Annie, she hated me completely, and I saw nothing wrong with it, 'cause the feeling was mutual. I had been in charged of training Darius when he first arrived to Vampire Mountain. Of course he had been a vampire longer then I had been, but I was 'older' and more experienced. You could say he used to be my old assistant. "It's nice too see you. Your uncle said you left the mountain fourteen years ago and haven't been back since. What's changed?" I stated. Darius shrugged. I looked him up and down. He was a lot older looking then when I first met him. His black hair was longer; his blue eyes had become a grayish color. His body had matured. He was about as tall as his uncle.

Darius sighed and laughed a bit. "Yeah, I came back when I heard my father wasn't dead," Darius sighed once again. I nodded my head in approval before I started to walk down the tunnels to the Hall of Osca Velm; Darius joined me. Once we were there I asked for two mugs of warm blood. "I heard you were leaving soon," Darius asked. I shook my head and sighed.

"I thought about it, but it seems I get in too much trouble when vampires find out I'm leaving," I started as I took the two mugs away from the gruff looking vampire that had brought them too us.

"Did my uncle do something to you again?" Darius asked looking ashamed of his uncle. I shook my head again.

"Nope," I answered before taking a swig of blood. Darius gave me a weird look.

"Then what are those on you face?" he asked going further into it. My body went stiff. I put down my mug and pushed his closer to him.

"Nothing. Now drink," I said while ignoring the subject of my mentor hitting me. Darius shrugged as took his mug to his mouth. We just sat there and talk for awhile but it soon got interrupted when a panicking vampire came running into the Hall.

"Everyone to the armory! Vampaneze are attacking!" As the words left his mouth vampires were jumping up everywhere and running to get to the fight. I growled as I slammed my mug down and jumped up on the table.

"Perfect timing," I growled as I rolled my neck around and popped it. Darius looked at me as I walked off the table and turned to him. "Coming?" I asked slyly. Darius smirked as he fallowed me out of the Hall of Osca Velm.

Inside I hated hearing 'there's a fight', but my mind didn't care at that moment, I need to kill someone and do it quickly. So I did.

Darius and I were running down the tunnels heading to the Hall of Death. The vampire that announced the fight also said they were attacking in and around the Hall of Death. I laughed some. I thought it fit with the fight. Tonight would most likely be the end of this war. I wish I was right.

"Aiden, in front of you!" Darius yelled out. I looked ahead of me and saw a purple vampaneze coming at me. I unsheathed my old sword and cut off his head in one motion. I kept doing this until I reached the entrance of the Hall. Darius had been caught up at the entrance and was fighting them off from getting to me. As I looked around I saw about ten vampires fighting vampaneze. I sheathed my sword and unsheathed the sword of retribution. "Aegis Chaos!" I yelled out as I sliced my sword through the air. A huge burst of blood red and orange light exploded from the sword and killed most of the vampaneze in a close range to me; I loved that spell for it didn't kill any of my blood, hence, vampires. I didn't even stop as I heard the screams of my victims. The vampires that were fighting the now dead vampaneze were shocked, but not surprised at my being there.

As my body scaled the walls of the Hall I was dragged down by two vampaneze. "Get off of me you freaks!" I yelled out as my sword was casted aside and I was thrown on the ground. I started to struggle to get the bodies off of me, but as I did more purple bodies came over and held me down. "Fuckers," I started out as I saw more vampaneze run into the Hall and over take the Hall, "I said get the fuck off me!" I yelled out in anger. They all started to laugh as I struggled more, but I just got angrier. "Draconian Echo!" I screamed out with anger. As I did a huge red blinding light shot out from me and shot the vampaneze off of me.

I stood up and looked around. "Shoulda listened," I said cockily as I grabbed the sword of retribution and ran to get the other vampaneze. By that time my eyes had glazed over with the wrath to kill.

The hate I had subdued for sometime had shown its face once again. I fought to keep it down, but when I was out numbered I gave in and let it take it's run out. I didn't care anymore. Nothing in my life was worth fighting for anymore, so I gave in. I floated in the darkness and silence and rested as my hatred took control of my powers and body. Well that is until I was made to wake up from my sweet silence.

"Aiden?!" I heard Darius and Madden voices call for me. I slowly opened my eyes and took a breath, but as soon as I did my body went up in pain. I winced as I looked around. I was under a pile of dead vampaneze and some vampire. "Great way to wake up," I whispered softly as I tried to move; it hurt like hell. But I had to get up. So I held my stomach and pushed the bodies off of me.

"Hey over here!" I tried to yell out. Luckily the guys heard me and came running towards me. I was already on my feet and pushing more dead bodies off of me and out of my way.

"Thank the gods. We thought you had been killed with the rest of them," Madden said reluctantly. I smirked as Darius and Madden pulled me up and put my arms around their shoulders.

"Yeah right, that be the day," Darius laughed as he said it. I nodded in approval.

"See least someone has faith in me," I smirked as Madden huffed. I lightly laughed as they got me out of there and to the heath wing.

Once the two vampires out me to the health wing, I was taken admitted care of. I tried getting out of there plenty of times, but was caught every time. They, also, kept asking how I survived the battle and how did I kill all those vampaneze; I kept saying the same thing, I didn't know.

"Please Artemis, do you really not remember?" another vampire asked. I growled and he started to back up. I had now been in the health wing for over a week; I really wanted to leave.

"She said she doesn't remember," my body froze at the sound of his voice. I still didn't want to face him or talk to him.

"Vancha…," I growled out as I looked at the green hair, purple clad vampire.

"Hey, Aiden, I wanted to see how you were doing," Vancha told me as he walked closer to me. I turned away from him.

"You saw and now you can leave," I said harshly. Vancha started to growl at me. I turned around to look at him. "What?" I asked harshly.

"Look I came here to see you and talk things out, now we're going to talk weather you like it or not!" Vancha yelled out at me. I glared at him and stood up.

"You can't tell me what I can or can not do!" I yelled back at him. Vancha was about to raise his hand at me again, but he took a breath and looked at me.

"Listen," Vancha started, but I objected.

"No I will not. I've had enough! Vancha I'm renouncing my duties as you assistant. I am no longer under your command!" I yelled at Vancha. Vancha growled loudly as he grabbed both of my wrists and shoved my up against the wall.

"Artemis…," Vancha growled in my ear. A huge flood of memories came into my mind. The night of my rape, the night I was turned, that night I never wanted repeated. Two cold tears ran down from my eyes and down my cheeks. Vancha's eyes went wide eyed as he looked at what he was doing. He let go of me and set me down on the ground. "Aiden…I…," I didn't let him finish.

"Get out…," I said quietly. He took a step forward. I looked up at him, hatred in my eyes. "Get out now!" I screamed at him. He looked away as he walked out of the health wing and for a long time…my life.

I would hate him for a long time after that day. Darius and Madden tried to talk to me about, but I never let them in. I guess I wasn't ready to deal with my demons yet.

It was early in the night; the sun had just gone down. I was standing at a mouth of a tunnel. I was ready to leave this place for good. I was wearing my newly fixed black outfit, my weapons all in place and five vials of blood ready; I wanted to leave. It had only been on night since Vancha had come to 'talk' with me and now I was ready to leave and was going to fallow through on that.

"Aiden wait!" I heard my name being called out. Behind me was Darius and Madden. I had already told Evanna goodbye.

"I'm sorry, but I'm leaving," I said as I turned around. I felt the cold harsh rain start to fall on us three. Madden looked sad, but Darius knew this was coming.

"Hey, see if Alice and Debbie are all right," Darius said to me. I smile as tiny bit as my long hair got even more soaked.

"Aye," I agreed. After what Darren did to me and Debbie found out about it, she severed ties with him, but still helped out with Alice and the Vampirites, but never came to Vampier Mountain; only Alice did that.

"Umm…Aiden, does this mean…?" Madden started to ask, I just shook my head.

"I'm realising you," I said sorrow held in my voice. I turned around again, this time facing the outside of Vampire Mountain. I had spent nine months here, to me that was long enough. "Darius take care of him for me," I order Darius. I knew he nodded and did it. With no look back I jumped down the Mountain and never once look back.

I never have one regret for leaving that place. It was a moment I will never forget. I felt free of everything for once and I felt whole, but it didn't last for that long. I had a lot more to go through before I was at any type of peace.


Ok so that is the end of Chapter 5 and part one of Fallen. Don't worry the story is a long way from bing over, but I putting it in "parts" there will be two maybe three parts. So I hope you all liked the fist part. Well see ya you ppls all later, I have a winter formal to go to.

Mistress of the Blooded Night

Peace!

Sorrow

Sometimes life seems too quiet

Into paralyzing silence

Like the moonless dark

Meant to make me strong

Familiar breath of my old lies

Changed the color in my eyes

Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lasts through this night

I'll take this piece of you

And hold for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As you flew right through me

Left alone with only reflections of the memory

To face the ugly girl

That's smothering me

Sitting closer than my pain

He knew each tear before it came

Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lasts through this night

I'll take this piece of you

And hold for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As you flew right through me

And we kiss each other one more time

And sing this lie that's halfway mine

The sword is slicing through the question

So I won't be fooled by his angel light

Sorrow lasts through this night

I'll take this piece of you

And hold for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As you flew right through me

And up into the stars

Joy will come
