Chapter 15
"Rina... Do you remember everything? Absolutly everything now?" He asked.
"Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?"
"Then... you'll forgive me... for all I've done to you?" Rina rolled her eyes. She grabbed his hands.
"There's no reason to forgive you for anything because you did exactly what I asked for you to do. If anything, I should thank you. You've done everything I asked you." She lead him through the trees towards an open field.
"In fact, you actually did things a little too... slow. Too leaniant. But, I think it was that you just didn't want to hurt me." Deimos stopped her in the middle of the field.
"Then... do you remember who made you live in the Vatican grounds?" He muttered. Rina froze.
"Name him..." She hissed.
"He's the one who was closest to you during your sleep... He was your latest caretaker." Rina's face darkened.
"Abel Nightroad." The ground began to tremble slightly.
"When the Vatican went out against the vampire kind, we were caught up in the mess. He attacked you. You were going to be taken hostage or killed. You didn't want to part from me forever, so you made a seal on your mind to keep those memories of us secret in case the Vatican probed your mind. Unfortunatly, Abel... he attacked us both in the middle of your sealing. You left me to finish the seal. But it was rushed, that's why it took so long to awaken you... That's why you have those gruesome nightmares. Abel caused you your misery... he caused you to... to act as if you were one of them..." He gripped her hands tightly. The ground began to rumble more vigoriously.
"Abel Nightroad... That damn Vatican dog! He ruined everything... he ruined our love! I trapped in that box for years because of him! You were taken away from me because of him!! He was the reason why I was tortured by thos nightmares for years! I was tortured by visions! It was all him!" She yelled. The sky lite up with lightening, the ground shook violently. Rina's teeth turned to fangs, her nails into claws, her eyes red. They let go of each others hands. Deimos watched Rina silently.
"Rina, what do you plan to do to Abel?" He asked.
"I'm going to kill him... I'll destroy that dog... I'm going to destroy that Vatican once and for all!!" She growled. She looked into his eyes.
"It's time I took up my seat of royal blood and revolt against those dogs!"
"Then I shall call up our allied clans and the vampires who are against the Vatican?"
"Yes... We'll take them down... we'll avenge our kind who have fallen to their rein of terror!" Deimos grabbed her shoulders.
"Then you must awaken your powers. They can't be awakened by your will, remember?" Rina took in a breath and nodded.
"Yes. I remember... This is where blood shall be shed. Will you do this for me?" She peered into his eyes, pleading him. He nodded.
"I will... it will pain me to make you be in so much pain... but if it means your dreams will come true... then I will help my Goddess and do whatever is nessecary." Rina kissed his tenderly.
"Thank you..." She whispered. Deimos hugged her closely.
"Just please tell me... that you will not die..." He whispered in her ear. Rina laid her head on his shoulder.
"I promise to you that I won't die..."
"Abel. We have a report from the Vampiress Queen that the clans who have been rumored to be against us are gathering during the day. They're working together." Caterina handed him a thin folder.
"There isn't much here is there?" He said. Abel was worn down. Dark circles were under his eyes, his face was pale and his hair was a bit messy.
"Maybe you should actually take a vacation. Your search for Rina over the past month has really hit you hard. You look like you've died." Abel smiled.
"I just can't forget Rina... She's a friend. I promised that I'd protect her. I've let her down... I have to rescue her! It's a natural thing to me," He said. Caterina sighed.
"Very well..."
"So... eleven clans, is it? Oh... along with them, some rogue vampires who are against us are meeting with them. And... we have no idea who is their 'leader' yet, right?"
"Yes. The Queen wishes for us to try and ignore them for now. If they attack us, she wishes to exclude them from the vampire council and not hold it against her kind."
"That's understandable." Abel look out of the window in her office.
"I just can't believe this at all... First Rina... now the clans against us are making their moves. It seems they're linked..."
"Abel, don't get ahead of yourself. This would never stir them up. Rina was never a vampire. If anything, it should be humans rebelling against vampires. I don't see how you came to that conclusion."
"I'd better be going-" The doors to Caterinas office opened.
"M'lady! There is an attack!"
"What?" She stood up.
"A large group of Vampires are drawing nearer and nearer to the Vatican, they've already killed thousands of bystanders!"
"Why is this delayed!?"
"I apologize, m'lady, our messengers have been taken down on their way here. It seems that they're quite organized. I started right when the sun went down."
"Two hours ago!?" She yelled.
"Send our guards out! Do not let any vampires come onto our grounds! Make sure the army protects the portion that this organization hasn't already destroyed. Protect the citizens. Kill any vampires, whether they are royalty or not." The man nodded and ran out the door.
"Abel, you know what to do."
"Yes.." He left the room. Abel quickly ran out of the Vatican and raced towards the city. He could hear the screams of people dying and smell the smoke of fire. He reached the edge of the massacre. People were falling to the ground, being over taken by vampires. Building were collapsing under the strain of fire. Rubble surround him.
"Krusnik... twenty percent..." He muttered.
