Hey, funny thing, I just got back at camp... AGAIN! and I found out that I have over 50 reviews!!! Yah!!!
Now, here's the next chapter.
Courtney danced into the chamber where Asush Ishtar sat.
Asush Ishtar looked up and Courtney and opened his mouth to speak. "We were married when you were but fifteen, my Quentzal Yaretzi, Xochitl Anacaona." Asush Ishtar paused. "I turned you a year later, I know now that what I did was something that you did not wish for me to do... but I did it because I want you, I love you, I need you, more than anything else in the foul world."
Courntey stared blankly at Asush Ishtar, her black eyes giving nothing away.
Asush Ishtar searched for a glimmer of anything in the black depths of Courtney's eyes, when he found nothing he sighed and went on. "All I want from you Courtney, is one last night as man and wife, then you have my blessing to turn your little pet." Asush Ishtar started soft and soothing, but spat out the last few words starting with blessing.
"It is done." Courtney said.
Asush Ishtar drifted down from his throne and grabbed a fist-full of Courtney hair, yanked her head back, and kissed her deeply.
Courtney awoke as soon as the sun was set and prepared to leave. She packed everything she had brought with her, including Duncan, and boarded her private jet. Never once bothering to look back at the creature who had given her the chance to meet and fall in love with Duncan.
Duncan couldn't open his eyes.
He couldn't feel his hands, nor his feet.
Duncan couldn't move a muscle in his body.
Only his mind screamed out in misery.
He wasn't sure if he was even breathing.
Not sure if his heart was beating.
All he knew was that he was in excruciating pain, so horrible that if he could have, he would of screamed for all he was worth.
Then all of a sudden the pain stopped.
Duncan was able to twitch a finger, then a toe.
Then Duncan opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the moonlight reflecting down upon him from his perch in a stone alter in the middle of a pool of water.
Duncan tried to breathe, but found he didn't need to. He looked for his heartbeat, but found none.
"What's happening to me?" Duncan rasped, but his voice came out silky smooth.
"Happened. What has happened to you... is me." Courtney said, coming into view with a smile that had the ability to light up Duncan's whole world, and always would. Until the end of time.
"Courtney." Duncan whispered.
Courtney came closer.
Duncan reached out and dragged her down on top of him.
"I love you." Duncan whispered into her ear as he kissed the sensitive skin surrounding it.
"I love you too." Courtney mummered into his mouth as she bent over him and pressed her lips against his, wrapping her thin arms around his neck and leaning into him.
Hours later Courtney lay nestled against Duncan's side, with Duncan running his long fingers through her mocha colored locks.
"Courtney, tell me." Duncan said.
Some how Courtney knew exactly what Duncan meant even though he was as vague as could be.
"I was born in the late thirteen hundreds as the daughter of Acamapichtli. My birth name was Citlali Nenetl, Star Doll. Or Heavenly Baby, depending upon which translation you look at." Courtney mummered slowly. "When I turned fourteen I was given my adult female name, Xochitl Anacaona, Precious Golden Flower. When I married a year later Quentzal Yaretzi, Queen who will always be loved, or beloved Queen, was added to my title."
Duncan's gripe on Courtney had tightened when she had mentioned marriage.
But Courtney continued, unfazed by the fact that he was unhappy with this new announcement. "Another year passed and my husband," Coutney paused where a human would have taken a deep breath, "And on my sixteenth birthday, give or take a few days, he turned me into a vampire. From there my name became Metzlti, Godess of Night. Fitting, is it not for a vampire." Courtney laughed humorlessly.
"So your... husband... was a vampire too?" Duncan asked slowly and tensely.
"Yes. Do you remember when I left for that short period of time?" Courtney asked.
Duncan snorted, "Princess, you left me for a year. That's not a short period of time." Duncan finished, squeezing Courtney and kissing her onto of her head.
"Well, to me it was. Speaking of which, I do not know it you were intelligent enough to connect to facts and come to the conclusion that I am, in fact, a Aztec princess." Courtney said playfully.
"Its conetct the dots... and I am sooo smart enough to have figured that out... eventually." Duncan said defensivly.
Courtney giggled.
Duncan frowned and changed subjects. "So, back to when you were gone?"
"I was summoned. Every maker had the right and the ability to summon their child or creation, and literally call it to them. Asush Ishtar called me, and I had to go. Actually, as I explained to you earlier, I went back to see him again even though I despise him, so that I could get his blessing to change you so that the change would not be as hard on you as it was on me."
Duncan stiffened and hugged Courtney closer. "How many... siblings... do you have." He asked.
"There is only one child per vampire, we cannot create any more than that since we are nearly indestructible." Courtney answered.
"Of course." Duncan replied sarcastically.
"I should undoubtedly tell you about why I had to change you... and what you can no longer do and what you now must do." Courtney said, sounding ashamed of herself for the first time since Duncan had met her.
Wanting to cheer her up Duncan rolled on top of her, "Later." He whispered in her ear. "Right now you're all mine."
As you are completely mine. A voice whispered inside of Courtney's head.
Courtney's eyes flew open, but the only face she encountered was that of the man she loved, Duncan.
