Chapter seventeen.

 

 

Twin yells could be heard throughout the whole park. A scream of pain like none other and a yell of terror from seeing a loved one in such pain.

 

“RYO.” Dee screamed in terror as Ryo fell to his knees the blood spilling from the giant hole in his stomach.

 

When seeing the vampire attack Dee he had left JJ's side and with amazing speed he managed to get to Dee in time to knock him to the side only to end up with the other vampires hand impaling his stomach so deep his claws came out of his back. He had yelled at first until his voice had no more power and the hand was retracted. He fell to the ground with blood pooling around him as the wound was so unbelievably big it could not heal to stop the blood.

 

Dee scrambled to his side and pulled his head into his knees.

 

“Why did you do this Ryo? Why?” Ryo gulped and looked at Dee with a small smile and choked out.

 

“Because…I love you..*cough*.. you moron.”

 

Dee cried as Ryo closed his eyes and concentrated on his breathing but Dee thought he was loosing consciousness. He didn't want to loose Ryo now. It wasn't fair. He couldn't know this would not lead to the death of Ryo, he still hadn't pieced the puzzle together. He heard JJ growl and he looked up and glared at the petite man. JJ looked down at Ryo.

 

“How is it Randy? Was it worth it? God that must be painful, well I wish you a pleasant rest now and I'll keep your love toy and comfort him when you're gone. You shouldn't have made me so angry. Kill him and bring that man.” JJ turned away not even noticing the lack of action from Dee. He didn't even take one step when his head was hit by something big and hard making him fall to his knees with blurry vision. He turned and saw that suddenly there where a few more people there or rather many people. He stood angrily seeing that his helpers where caught by these newcomers.

 

“What is going on who are you people?” JJ backed away as one of them took a step towards him. This woman was a tall and visible strong vampire, you could sense her power in the air. And JJ knew then this woman was a vampire on the same level as Rose. But how could he not know who it was. He always prided himself in his knowledge of the high ranked vampires. This woman he had no knowledge of but somewhere deep in his mind he knew he recognized that blond hair with the read streak in the bangs, but why? The woman approached him and looked down at him with clear distaste.

 

“Who are you and how dare toy strike me don't you know who my master is?” JJ couldn't believe he shouted at her but he was honestly afraid, for the way she was looking at him was not calming in the least. The woman grabbed a hold of his neck and lifted him off the ground.

 

“There is only one thing I hate more than humans and that is ignorant vampires who doesn't know their place.” She threw him to the ground and introduced herself.

 

“I am Astharoshe Asran or more commonly known the Duchess of Odessa. Now I want you to take your little friends here and leave this place before I decide to tear that empty head of yours right from your shoulders.” JJ gawked at her, the Duchess of Odessa? She was a legend as big as Puppet-master if not more so. Now he was terrified and when she told him to leave he lost no time for thought as he ran away with his helpers right on his tail.

 

“Asta, we need to help them. It will be dawn soon and we can't leave them here. Please they're my friends.” Spoke Carol as she walked up to the duchess. Asta looked at her and nodded her head reluctantly. She would do anything for her friends.

 

“Alright Let's get them and bring them to the house, hurry it will be dawn soon.” Carol looked at her friends and saw how badly injured Ryo was, and Dee had blacked out after they arrived. He had gotten a nasty blow to his head and must have collapsed because of the cold as well as his injuries. They where carried with great haste to the house where Carol and her group resided. She knew that she would have to keep an eye on Dee for he would not be safe here as these vampires didn't care much for humans.

 

As soon as they reached the house they where met by Lai and Lass who immediately made a room ready for the two injured men. They treated Dee's wounds as Carol and Asta cleans Ryo's slowly healing wound. They knew this would be a painful thing for the man. A wound like this when the organs and tissue has to be rebuilt takes time and is an extremely painful procedure. It would undoubtedly take as long as twenty four hours for it to be closed up. And after that it would be a few days of pain as the organs will not accept being rebuilt like that.

 

Carol knew the best thing was to go hunting to get fresh blood for Ryo to when he would wake up but knowing him he wouldn't agree to that. She would have to ask him before hand. He might be a vampire and wouldn't die of this wound but with this amount of lost blood he would be very sick and suffer for a very long time. After their wounds were treated they were laid in a bed together to rest. This house was filled with occupants so there weren't two beds available and none of these people was willing to share. In this house only family counted and these men even though Carol's friends where outsiders, especially the human.

 

They had been lucky that they were borrowed some dry clothes and thick comforter to keep them warm. But this house was well warmed so they would keep their warmth. Carol pulled up the comforter over the men and left them. She Lai and Lass agreed take turns to watch the hallway during the day to keep anyone from going there and feeding on Dee.

 

The day went on and the house was quiet except for the sound of Ryo's soft whimpers and silent screams. He and Dee were both unconscious the entire day and not until after sundown did they wake up. It was Dee who woke up when the door to their room opened and in stepped the little blond girl he met in the park after the basketball game. Carol was it? At the sight of her he started looking around the room to notice that he was not at home. What happened? He thought of the walk in the park and all memories came flooding back to him. He became worried and sat up to fast and clutched his head as he gasped.

 

“Hey take it easy, your head got one nasty blow yesterday. You should still rest. I brought you something to eat. I'm afraid it has to be fast food since no one in this house eats ordinary food.” She came in with a bowl of soup, and you could clearly see that it was the fast kind that you make out of a dry mix and water. And there was also a cup of coffee and a glace of water there. She placed the small tray on the bedside table by his side.

 

“Hey, where is Ryo? What happened to him?” She giggled at that but her smile was a sad one.

 

“You really should learn to be more aware of your surroundings Dee.” She pointed to the bed and he turned his head and actually blushed as he saw Ryo lying tightly next to him. How could he have not noticed? He ran his hand over his face and noticed how cold he was and yet he was sweating and his face was scrunched up as if he were in pain.

 

“How can he still be alive? That other guy rammed his hand right through him. He should be dead.” Carol didn't smile.

 

“Do you wish him to be?” She asked dead serious.

 

“NO, how can you ask me that? I would never wish for harm to come his way. I would do anything I possibly could to make his pain go away. That hit was meant for me but he jumped in front of it and pushed me away.”

 

“Do you love him?” Carol was looking intently at him and he didn't hesitate to answer.

 

“Yes. I do, more than anything in this world. I don't know what I would do without him. Now when I've finally gotten the taste of real love I don't want to loose it for anything.” He really didn't know why he told her this but something in her eyes and the seriousness of her voice made him be as honest as he could possibly be.

 

“Make sure you remember your words later for they will be needed for the both of you.” Carol was sounding so old in the way she spoke. And Dee was curious as to what she meant and suddenly there were all these questions in his head he remembered from the argument yesterday.

 

“But have he been to a hospital? He needs treatment.” Dee voice betrayed his panicked feelings.

 

“No Dee, no doctor can help him more than any other person can. This is not something normal medicine can cure. If he feeds a little at a time he will get his strength back soon but if not he will be very weakened and in a lot of pain for a long time.”

 

“But why don't you try waking him up and feed him then. If you really don't know how to cook I can make some food for him.” Dee was angered by her relaxed posture and the fact that she was not out of her mind trying to help Ryo.

 

“No Dee that is not the nutrition he needs. He needs to feed but not by anything you would call food.” Dee shook his head feeling lost and Ryo's labored breathing wasn't helping things.

 

“What the hell is it he needs then?” He yelled but the answer came from someone other than carol and the word he heard made him freeze in his spot.

 

“Blood.” Ryo said quietly. Dee thought maybe Ryo was rambling or that he woke up talking about his wound.

 

“What?” Ryo took a breath.

 

“I need blood. Human blood Dee.” Dee looked down at him and Carol turned to leave them alone. She knew Ryo needed to have this said. With this situation there was no hiding it any more. Dee's eyes had practically doubled in size.

 

“What on earth are you talking about Ryo? Why would you say something like that?” Ryo sighed and opened his eyes looking at Dee with a strained expression.

 

“Dee haven't you got it yet…gasp… After the whole thing yesterday I would have thought you at least suspected something.. Argh..” Ryo winced slightly but kept going.

 

“And now with this wound that has not been treated, what do you think is going on?” He breathed deep waiting for a reaction from Dee, any kind didn't matter just so he knew what Dee thought. He waited to see the repulsion and rejection in those deep eyes he had come to love. When Dee didn't say anything only turned his eyes to look at his hands down in his knee Ryo began to cry and forced out the final truth.

 

“I..I'm a v..vampire Dee. A cold-blooded, blood sucking beast. I live from the blood of humans.” When Dee remained unresponsive Ryo turned to his side, back to Dee and despite the pain it caused he curled up into fetal position. There he lay crying his heart out and Dee remained impassive, as if frozen stiff. Was this true? Was this maybe all an illusion from his head injury. He could do nothing he was lost in his thoughts he didn't even hear the cries from the man next to him. He rose from the bed and like in a daze he walked to the door. Once he stepped out and closed the door he was met by a voice from the end of the hallway.

 

“What are you doing? Why are you out here and not in there with the one that needs you the most right now?” Carol looked angry and also disappointed. Dee didn't seem to hear her, he was in shock. That was the problem he was in chock and had become lost in his thoughts. Carol walked up to him to hear his whispered ramblings but it wasn't possible. She pulled his arms to get his attention.

 

“Hey are you listening to me?” No reaction, carol heard Ryo's soft sniffles from inside and became angry. She slapped him hard on the cheek and that seemed to snap him out of it for he grabbed her arm tightly and glared at her.

 

“Hey what the fuck are you doing?”

 

“I'm trying to wake you up you insensitive jerk. Can you hear that? That is the sound of the heart breaking for the one you love and it's all because of you.”

 

“Love me? Love? He is a vampire for Christ's sake. How can he ever feel anything? He's not human he's a…” Carol pulled her arms from his grip and punched him square on the nose.

 

“Ah shit. What the fuck.” Dee yelled.

 

“How dare you? Ryo has not done you any harm, all he's ever done is try his best not to fall in love with you and he failed miserably. Don't you ever assume to know anything about vampires for we are not emotionless creatures. Ryo has a firm hold on his human feelings and refuses to turn into a cold-blooded beast. He has never ever taken a life without feeling tremendous remorse for it. It's not like he chose to become what he is today. Do not judge us with only knowing what you heard in stories and rumors for those are just that, stories and rumors.” Dee shivered all over be that of anger, frustration or remorse he didn't know. To think this young girl was also a vampire was horrible.

 

“I can't deal with this, it's too much.”

 

“Do you wish him dead?” She repeated the question from before. And as expected he didn't hesitate to answer.

 

“No I don't, I would never..”

 

“Do you love Ryo?” Clarifying that it was the person not the being she asked about.

 

“Yes I do, I mean I thought I did..”

“No, don't even go there, don't start convincing yourself that you were wrong.”

 

“But weren't I? How can we love each other? He's a vampire I'm a human, he's a predator and I'm food. How would it work? How can a fish ever love a bird?” Carol smiled and said.

 

“Then I guess you have to learn how to fly and Ryo how to swim.” Carol smiled and rose to hug Dee who was startled at first but put his arms around her.

 

“See is this so hard? Can't you feel that I like you? I do have feelings, as does the broken man in there. Besides could a cold-blooded emotionless being really take in an over energetic troublemaker of a teenager, that might I add is all human.” Dee suddenly remembered the brat that always annoyed him. He sighed and with remorse in his voice forced out.

 

“Heh, no I guess you have to really love a person like that in order to freely take them into your own home.” Carol caressed his cheek and pointed to the door.

 

“Now go in there and hold him until he wakes up. He needs to know he doesn't disgust you for that is what he thinks right now. And when he awakens you two should have a long talk. You both need it.” She started to walk away.

 

“Hey how old are you? Really I mean?” She looked at him smiling.

 

“Don't you know it's rude to ask a woman her age? Oh and I'll bring you new soup if you want, I bet that ones cold.” She left again. Dee whispered a quiet thank you and went back into the room and curled into the bed spooning up behind Ryo holding him carefully. He kissed his forehead before lying down to sleep.

 

“I'm sorry.” Dee whispered and in his sleep Ryo twined his finger with the hand Dee held him with. But just before Dee was about to fall asleep he had a thought.

 

“Wait, why did I have to be the fish?”

And there it is, chapter 17. I hope you liked it.

 

As I have said I don't particularly like OC's so naturally Astharoshe Asran is not mine. She's also borrowed from Trinity Blood. I like her, she's very cool and does not like humans very much. She will not play a big role either, just a few small scenes maybe.

 

Okay I'll try to get chapter 18 up by next weekend, I can't seem to get it good, I'm not satisfied with it. But I'll do everything I can to have it posted next Sunday at the latest.

 

Okay so I'm not gonna talk so much today. But I hope this chapter was good and I hope you all have a nice weekend.
