Hello all. Sorry I'm late. I have a court appearance hanging over my head and I'm just too damned depressed to even think. So yeah, my life sucks right now.
Chapter 9
"Thanks Karnel."
"No problem kid. Thank Galanti though. He saved you."
Duet's eyes moved to focus on Galanti and he blinked to try and clear his suddenly too bright vision.
"It will take some time to get used to. But you would have died if I hadn't done what I did."
The poor boy looked lost and Galanti took pity on him.
"What I did was give you some of my blood. I'm a Damphir. It's a half vampire, half human cross."
"So essentially, I'm a Damphir?" Duet's eyes shone brightly.
"Yes… You'll experience some sensitivity to sunlight, fire and sound. However, you'll have a sort of resistance to cold and you wont age very fast. On top of that, every sense is heightened… I'm sorry if I've forced any burden upon you."
Galanti bowed and smiled ruefully. Duet just shook his head laughed quietly.
"No. If anything, I should owe you my life. Thank you."
"Ryo!"
The blonde cop turned around and looked at his lover approaching him in the sitting room.
"What?" He asked, slightly irritated.
"Oh nothing, I've only been calling you for the last five minutes for nothing."
Ryo blushed and Dee zeroed in right away.
"Aw… have I ever told you you're cute when you blush?"
Dee smiled at the tomato red blush on his face and leaned in to kiss him. He had only millimetres to go and he would score a kiss.
"DEE!" Duet yelled as he jumped on the black haired cop.
The man fell over at Ryo's feet, coughing and sputtering, mostly from the arms around his neck. Duet looked up from his perch and was about to say something cheeky to Ryo, when Bikky crashed into him from behind.
"DUET! MAN! Are you allowed to be up right now?"
The two on the floor were added to by Bikky and became a dog pile. Karnel and Galanti walked into the room and the two looked to the trio on the floor.
"I may have to write you up Dee. Dating minors? I'm sure the badger would love this."
Dee fumed and pushed the kids off of him. He stood up and looked Karnel in the eyes.
"Hey, I'll have you know that…"
"You'd never hurt either of them. I just needed to hear you say it." He smirked and then walked away with a flick of his hand. "See you around."
And that was it; he walked out of Duet's life as fast as he had come in.
"Later Karnel." Duet smiled and waved to both Karnel and Galanti.
Not the end yet… but it's close. I figured I'd better get something out before everyone starts to hate me. So there it is. Sorry for taking so long.
