| >Welcome to BITTEN: PART TWO! Hehe, I've really outdone myself this time. I finally got my inspiration after watching 'The Forsaken' and a bunch of old and new Vapmire movies (Nosfaratu, Interview with a Vampire, Dracula, Vampire Hunter D, ?Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The movie?), and drinking four cups of V8 stuff convincing myself it was blood, (you know, to get into the MIND of the vampire). I read all of Anne Rice's books, and learned a lot about bats (did you know there're also bloodsucking birds? Hm, now I know what my next blood sucking story will be about....) So you can't say I didn't do my research. Did you know Count Dracula really existed? Turns out he was just some crazy murderer who liked to suck out his victim's/s' blood. Pretty stupid, if you ask me, because you can get AIDS and all kinds of illnesses like that. Scary he was, smart he wasn't. Anywho, I hope you enjoy BITTEN:PART TWO. It took me almost forever to write.< |
Wufei played around with the food on his plate. Something was wrong, he could feel it in the air. A stranger had been onboard the spaceship. For some reason, though, the presence didn't scare him. Wufei stared out the window into space. His instinct told him the strange presence was nothing to worry about.... but a someone close to him was a threat. Wufei eyed Trowa who was quietly eating his soup. Trowa sensed somone was observing him, and stopped eating just to see Wufei staring at him. Wufei looked away, a little embaressed,"It's nothing...." he said, starting to eat the food on his plate. Wufei took a quick glance at Quatre, then continued eating. ======================================================================= The next day.... "Do you know how we'll conduct the funeral?" Trowa asked calmly. Heero looked at Trowa,"I don't know, I think we should---" Heero paused to look at Duo's corpse. He looked so relaxed. A slight smile on its cold, dry lips. Almost as if he thought this was all a game. Trowa put his hand on Heero's shoulder,"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find his killer," he said in a less detatched voice. Heero closed his eyes,"Yeah." Quatre eyed Heero, then eyed Trowa,"Maybe we should give him some time...." "We can't just leave a corpse in here. And what'll we tell Dr.G? We haven't notified him of---" Trowa paused,"the event that has occured." "He's right," answered Heero,"I think we should just have a small, quiet funeral. No need invinting too many people. OZ shouldn't know where we're located." "So we'll bury him in space?" asked Trowa. "No, Earth." Heero closed his eyes, then, after a few seconds, opened them,"I'll do it. You two take care of the missions. OZ shouldn't know of 02's death yet. It'll tell them we're vulnerable." Trowa nodded,"OK. I understand." "I'll go tomorrow. I'll have devised a plan by then on how to get Duo's corpse to earth without looking suspicous. "Heero, will you be taking the Wing Zero?" asked Quatre. Heero shook his head,"Probably not. It'd be too obvious." "You can take my Heavyarms..." suggested Trowa. "No, I don't think that'll do it either. Give me time to think. I'll come up with something." Heero lay awake in his bed, thinking. He still had a hard time believing Duo had died, it all seemed like a bad dream to him. As he closed his eyes and was about to drift into a deep sleep, he sensed someone in the room watching him. Wearily, Heero opened his eyes. Two big, sparkling eyes were watching him from a distance. Suddenly, the moon shone into Heero's room, revealing the outline of a slender body with a long braid blowing gently in the wind. Heero rubbed his eyes. No, this couldn't be happening. The figure who was perched by the window sill didn't move. It just stared at Heero, obviously waiting for Heero to do something. Heero sat up, and figure's eyes gleamed. It seemed to be playing some kind of game. Heero felt a shiver go down his spine as he turned to the figure and asked,"Who are you?" The figure pushed itself off the window sill, and stalked towards a cautious Heero. "Don't you remember me?" it asked in a husky tenor, a bit distraught. Heero recognized that voice,"Duo----" no, it couldn't be Duo, could it? Could Treize be right? Heero shook his head at the thought,"Duo is dead." he stated flatly. "Then I shouldn't be here, should I?" "If this is some trick...." the figure pounced on Heero with such a force he landed with a thud on the matress. "Oh, it's no trick." Heero tried to struggle free, but he was pinned down so firmly on the mattress he could barely move. The figure smirked. It enjoyed seeing the look of fear in Heero's big, cobalt blue eyes. "Let me go," ordered Heero. The figure's smirk tunrned into a teasing grin, revealing two very sharp fangs. "Y-you're a----" stammered Heero, his eyes growing wide. The figure's grin disappeared,"Don't be scared.... it won't hurt that much, just hold still, and I'll be gentler on you...." the figure rubbed his hand along Heero's neck, then jerked him up to look once more into Heero's horrified face. "This won't hurt one bit, it all depends on YOU...." then the figure swiftly lunged at Heero's neck, his fangs tearing into Heero's soft, delicate skin. But before the figure could get very far, Heero pushed it away,"Get away from me Duo! What'd you---" Heero couldn't continue. He was beginning to feel light-headed. He felt something liquid flow down his neck.... blood. "Duo, what'd you do to me?" murmured Heero, swaying. Duo gently pushed Heero down to the matress,"Just relax.... the worst is over...." he said gently. "It's over?" murmered Heero, his voice so quiet Duo could barely hear it. Heero sighed gently before drifting into unconciousness. Pain. Pain was the first thing Heero felt when he awoke. He brushed his hand along his neck. There was now a large, bleeding wound ending at his right shoulder there. He sat up in bed only to feel more pain. Heero brushed his hand along his waist side. There was another, larger wound there. Obviously Duo had had the time of his life last night. Heero moaned, and fell back onto his pillow. "You OK?" Heero wearily opened his eyes,"Huh?" Wufei's familier face faded into view. "W-Wufei?! What are---- what are you doing in my bedroom?" Heero asked, trying to sound as if nothing had happened. "Don't worry.... I know already." "Know what?" asked Heero. "What happened last night. I sensed something was going to happen, any- way." "You mean that thing with---- that...." "Vampire. Yeah. If you're feeling tired, that's normal.... I sprayed cocaine in your bloodstream." Heero sat up, ignoring his pain,"COCAINE?! YOU SPRAYED AN ILLEGAL DRUG INTO MY SYSTEM?! THAT COULD EFFECT MY PERFORMANCE!" "And your performance wouldn't be effected if you were a blood sucking demon?" Heero sighed,"And cocaine's for WHAT purpose?!" "Your body.... especially your brain.... is being infected by this creature's blood. Vampires have a certain type of blood. One that destroys just about every blood cell in their victim's blood system, and replaces them with it's own.... also the brain is altered in this process. The lack of oxygen from your bloodstream makes you temporaily brain dead. In that time, the vampire's cells take over your brain, and make you think differently. And cocaine destroys body and braincells, so while some of your cells might be destroyed, also a large quantity of the vampire's cells are destroyed, keeping you for a few months relatively normal." "But what about Duo?" "Oh, he's dead.... for the time being. At night, he'll be alive again. Right now he's just.... hibernating." "And why do you know so much about vampires?" asked Heero, still not taking Wufei entirely seriously. Wufei shrugged and showed Heero his shoulder. For a while the skin appeared noermal, but as Heero was about to say something, the skin pulled back revealing two large bite marks, "July, summer in the year AC 193. Don't ask how." explained Wufei, simply, as the skin pulled back, revealing no sign whatsoever of a scar. "But---- how---- vampires aren't.... they aren't real!" "Think what you want. But, just so you know, those scars will disappear in about an hour. The scars are supposed to remain open, due to the vampire cells in your brain that program them to. But since the cocaine in in your brain, too, and changes the command to quicken the healing progress instead of stopping it. I left you some extra cocaine in that drawer by your endtable.... just in case." Wufei turned to leave, and added,"Just so you know, the vampire that bit Duo was not a natural- born one. He was bitten by another one, who probably also wasn't a natural vampire. Somewhere there's a vampire lord, a natural born blood-sucker. Finding him is the problem. Once you find him, both you and Duo will return to normal." Heero's gleamed. So there was still a small glimmer of hope that he could save Duo. ========= "I'm worried about Heero." stated Quatre. "If he doesn't get over his depression, he can't come with us on missions.... you DO know that, right?" asked Trowa. Quatre eyed him,"But we can't leave him alone here! We're his friends! Friends suffer together...." "But millions of people will suffer if we don't complete our missions...." argued Trowa. Quatre's angelic face saddened,"But still....besides, something bad might happen if we aren't there for him!" "Wufei is checking up on him.... he looked a little restless, so I think he sensed something bad was happening, but it probably isn't worth giving up our missions for." explained Trowa, peering into Quatre's distraught face,"Nothing bad is going to happen." "It might have happened all ready." mumbled Quatre. "Huh?" "Nothing. I'm just thinking to myself." ========= Wufei shook his head. This wasn't supposed to happen. Not like this.... he knew Treize had connections to vampires.... probably he had attacked Duo.... he should've killed Treize when he had the chance.... But Treize had sworn he would not attack any of his comrades. Besides, Treize hadn't bitten anyone lately.... or so Wufei thought. Why hadn't he sensed anything when Duo was bitten? The vampire that infected Duo was probably and older vampire... one with experience. Not many vampires could block another vampire's sense. Vampires could usually sense each other's presence. A vampire Lord was near, Wufei sensed it. Dorothy played a somber melody on the piano, not seeing Treize approaching her. Leaning forward to look at the music notes, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. Abruptly, she stopped playing, and turned around to face Treize. "The meeting is over," informed Treize,"My apologies if I disturbed you." Dorothy shook her head,"No, it was nothing." Treize nodded,"All right. Your father is waiting by the limo." Dorothy picked up her music notes and closed the piano. She curtsied and left the room. Hearing her footsteps disapear down the hall, Treize turned to an open window and said,"You can come out now," Swinging from the roof onto the window cill, Wufei glared at Treize, "You broke our agreement," he stated,"You infected Duo.... and he infected Heero." Treize shook his head,"I am a gentleman, I do not break agreements. I didn't bite anyone." Wufei raised an eyebrow, skeptically,"Really." "I didn't bite anyone of your team," corrected Treize. "And Duo just magically got a bite. How very believable. Why don't I just go home content with that?" Treize shrugged,"Be my guest." Wufei just glared at him harder. Treize sighed,"A vampire lord is in town. He calls himself the 'Black Death'. I would be meeting him.... but I don't hang around my own kind. I'm trying to cut back on my urges." "Do you know where he'll be?" asked Wufei. Treize tried to hold back from laughing,"You.... you are going to meet HIM? Have you gone mad?! Black Death is no ordinary vampire lord.... we were chums together back in high school. He liked playing mind games.... he lured even the most street-wise people into his grasp." Wufei didn't look impressed. "If he even managed to lure me to him, I think you don't stand half a chance against him." added Treize. Wufei raised his eyebrows. Fooling an avarage person was easy, especially if you were a vampire.... but Treize was no ordinary person.... "And you think this 'Black Death' attacked Duo?" asked Wufei. Treize shrugged,"It's a mere hypothesis. You should remember that where there are vampire lords, there're vampires as well. Any one of his followers could've attacked Duo.... but, if you kill Black Death.... which is nearly impossible.... then the curse might be broken." "Might?" asked Wufei. "It could always be a vampire with another lord. You never know." "He might be my lord.... if I kill him, then my curse would be broken, along with yours." said Wufei, thoughtfully. "Didn't you hear what I said? You can't just waltz in and kill a vampire lord.... if it were that easy, vampires wouldn't be a problem in the first place." "And why are you suddenly worried for my safety?" asked Wufei. "If Black Death got his hands on you, he would make it look like my organization killed you." Wufei cocked his head,"I thought you said you and him were friends...." Treize smiled wistfully,"The stress is on 'were'. Our friendship soured when he started attacking children.... that's where I draw the line." "Oh, so now you have a sense of justice?" asked Wufei, skeptically. Treize smirked,"No, but is just doesn't sound very filling sucking out children's blood. It's actually rather disgusting.... there's no pleasure in that. Anyway, Black Death is a very high-profile vampire. You'd make good prey. I'd recommend that you watch your back and stay away from him." ========= Heero yawned. He couldn't concentrate on what Trowa was saying,"Damn Wufei and his stupid party drugs," muttered Heero, under his breath. He instantly regretted saying that when Trowa stopped talking and looked directly at him. Trowa had extremely good hearing, and had probably heard what Heero had said. "What was that, Heero?" he asked. Heero turned away,"It was nothing." "You said something about party drugs," Quatre said, looking concerned. Heero shook his head,"It was nothing important, all I said was---" Heero paused, and rested his head on his arms. He was starting to feel light-headed again,"I said--- it was nothing---" Heero closed his eyes and mumbled something. Quatre eyed Trowa, giving him an I-told-you-so glance. Trowa turned towards Heero, and shook the tank-top clad Wing Pilot. Heero didn't move. ========= "I'd better get back.... Heero might be acting up," said Wufei advancing towards a window. Trieze nodded,"All right. But this meeting never happened, understand?" Wufei nodded,"Ditto." before he climbed out the window, he eyed Treize,"And no attacks on my team." Treize nodded,"Agreed. I do not attack a feeble enemy. It's not honorable." Treize looked towards the window, but Wufei was gone [1]. Treize shrugged,"You could have at least said goodbye. People these days.... no manners." Then, as if nothing had happened, Treize sat down in his chair and began reading a book. He didn't notice someone watching him. Pale blue eyes glittered in the darkness of Treize's mansion, then suddenly disappeared. ========= Wufei casually made his way into Quatre's rose garden. The first thing that caught his eye was Quatre.... the blonde haired boy was sitting on a marble bench, constantly fidgeting and looking very uneasy. Wufei took a seat next to him,"What is the matter, Winner?" "Heero fainted while Trowa was explaining mission plans.... he mumbled something about you and party drugs...." Wufei's eyes widened,"Um, it might be the stress from Duo's death and all...." Quatre nodded,"I guess.... you didn't give him any stress relieve medicine, did you?" Wufei shook his head,"No...." "Trowa also said he found some weird scars on Heero's body...." "Where?" "Mostly in his side.... the waist area, a small scar on the neck, it's not very visible, but Trowa has good eyes...." "What's the point? You think I have something to do with this?" asked Wufei, cooly. Quatre looked down,"Sort of." ========= An old, red '61 Thunderbird car raced along a deserted highway.... towards a strong light coming from the desert hills. As it neared, loud music was heard, and many people could be seen dancing. The car stopped where some motorcycles were parked. A scantily clad woman stepped out of the car. Her brown hair was slightly curled, and her lips were a a bloody red color. Her eyes were filled with lust and hunger as she eyed one of the partygoers. She was wearing worn, shredded black tanktop and black, cut-off, skintight jeans. She appeared to be about seventeen years old, but the shine in her eyes looked much older. As she began making her way towards some partygoers, some men stepped out after her. The two looked almost identical, except that one had blond hair while the other had black. Both wore muscle tees and torn shorts. They opened the door for another man.... one with dark green eyes fiery red hair, partially covering his slightly arched eyebrows. He was dressed similarily to the other men, but one could see he was their superior by the way he looked at them. After he exited the car, he followed the brown haired girl with a with a slow, yet controlling walk. Some of the partygoers made way for this strange man and his pack, but five stepped in his way. One man, with a stubble and long blonde hair tied back in a pony tail, spat in the red-haired man's face,"This is a private party, punk," The brown haired girl stepped in front of the red haired man,"But our car broke down," she said in a sultry, yet helpless tone. "Well, why don't you go in my car? I have a nice backseat," said the blond man, smirking at the brown haired girl,"What's your name, chick? And who're your weird friends?" "My name is your doom." answered the brown haired girl. The blond-haired man and his companions laughed,"Oh, attitude, hit me, girl," Smirking, the brown-haired girl raised her fist, but the red-haired man stopped her,"Cathrine, enough of this deplorable folly." The brown haired girl smirked,"My pleasure, Sir." The blond-haired man cocked his head,"Why you listenin' to that weirdo, chick? I could take him." her said, flexing his musciular, tatooed arm. Cathrine shook her head,"They never learn, do they, Deathie?" The red haired man ignored her, and tightly closed his eyes. He opened them, and smiled,"I accept your proposal for a duel." he said,"Even if you appear to be an inferior opponent." Just then, a girl as scantily clad as Cathrine locked onto the blonde man's arm,"Inferior? Hah! He's gonna hit you and that slut so hard, you'll forget your names! Inferior up my ass!" The blonde man smirked and cupped his hand around the girls behind,"And a nice ass it is, too...." The redhaired man suddenly thrust his arms forward, toward the couple, and both immediatly fell to the ground. Cathrine clapped her hands and giggled wildy,"Deathie one opponent none!" 'Deathie' looked annoyed,"Let's move on, shall we, Cathy?" Cathrine eyed the other two men in the group,"C'mon, fellas, let's get a move on and enjoy the party," shortly after saying that, she licked her lips, her mouth open enough to expose two shiny white fangs. ========= "You're leaving?!" shouted Quatre. Trowa shrugged,"I wish to visit Cathy.... she hasn't written, e-mailed, or phoned me for two months. I believe something is wrong." "But.... a mission could come up at any moment.... Heero and Duo can't fight!!!! And I can't fight with Wufei alone!" "Cathy's colony is nearby. You can call me anytime if you need help." answered Trowa. Quatre bit his lip,"OK, Trowa, but be careful.... Heero and Duo are down, and I can't risk the Gundam team losing another member." Heero moaned,"Owwww, Wufeiii where have you been?" "I was.... with a friend." replied Wufei. "Trowa almost found out.... you know...." said Heero, opening his eyes. "Yes... I know. So did Quatre, but I think both are too much down to earth to believe.... to even suspect you and Duo were bitten by a vampire." "And they'll just ignore my dizzy spells and fainting. I don't wish to get them involved in this vampire story. We should be focusing on missions right now.... the enemy has ways of finding out whether we are weak or not...." "Oh, don't worry about the enemy," said Wufei,"they won't be striking any time soon." Heero eyed him, tiredly,"Whaaaat?" Wufei shrugged,"It's only a hunch. But, trust me, they don't know a thing, and even if they did, attacking now wouldn't be...." Wufei thought a while,"honorable." ========= Quatre walked up a flight of stairs until he reached the door that lead to his living room. He typed in a code into the codelock, and the door, which was disguised as a bookshelf, opened. Walking into the room, Quatre took a seat on a couch, and the bookshelf closed behind him. Taking a deep sigh, Quatre looked out a window. The situation wasn't good.... if any more of his comrads would be struck by this weird.... whatever it was.... the war would be lost. Wufei quickly packed some clothes and belongings into a small duffel bag. This "Black Death" person Treize was talking about was in the area.... Wufei sensed it. He would be in town looking for fresh prey, and Wufei knew that the younger the victim was, the stronger the vampire would be attracted. And the easiest way to kill a vampire was when he was after you, not you after him. Wufei knew "Black Death" would not just admit that he was a vampire, blowing his cover would be a stupid move, for there were many vampires who feasted on vampires along with vampire slayers.... and Wufei was well-known for being both. Being so popular, Wufei knew it would be difficult to keep his identity hidden. The hard part was that any vampire could sense another vampire's presence. Even if Wufei managed most vampire's radars, 'Black Death' would not be fooled as easily. Wufei knew powerful vampires could sense any vampire, some could even sense former vampires. If anyone found out who he was, he would be avoided like the pest. As he was thinking how to avoid this, he heard Heero moan. The Chinese boy's eyes sparkled. He had an idea. TO BE CONTINUED..... ====================================== [1] Na na na na na na na na BATMAN!!!! ====================================== >Yet another chapter of 'BITTEN' has been written to an end.
