Chapter 2

 

Trowa frowned slightly in concentration as he worked through the exercises he'd been given. They weren't easy but he knew they were necessary if he ever wanted to go out and hunt with the others. As the youngest member of the group and the only one under twenty he was treated very much as the baby but he didn't really mind since it meant there was always someone willing to teach him something new. He also knew that his unwillingness to talk had them worried but he couldn't bring himself to care, he just wanted his sister back. Since she had been taken he hadn't spoken more than a few scattered sentences when he didn't understand something he was learning. He missed the small house he had shared with Catherine, the caves the hunters used were always cold and damp but he was getting used to that. In the three months he had been with the group there had been no sign of her and even more people had disappeared, the town was turning into a ghost town and no one was able to stop it.

 

------------------------------

“Stay Wufei.” He paused in getting redressed at the entreaty but he knew it would be foolish to do as she asked. He didn't want to loose her and if she ever learned the truth he would. He sighed as he heard her move from the bed to stand behind him, slender arms coming to wrap around him.

 

“I can't, I have to get back.” He answered softly, turning to face her and leave a gentle kiss on her lips.

 

“I know Wufei.” He froze, staring into her eyes. Surely she couldn't mean?

“I've known since the beginning.”

 

“Known what?” He breathed, afraid of what her answer was going to be.

 

“That you're one of them, a vampire.” If his heart still beat that soft statement would have stopped it.

 

“I…” She put a finger to his lips.

“Sally.” She smiled up at him and hugged him to her.

 

“I'm not afraid of you Wufei; I know you won't hurt me. You may be a vampire but you are not a monster.” She moved to kiss him and he held her in his arms, still in shock.

“I love you.” She whispered against his lips as she pulled back. Dark eyes widened in shock.

 

“You…you love me?” He couldn't stop starring at her, wondering if the night was a dream and she was about to disappear.

“You can't love me, I'm”

 

“A wonderful and caring man, the man I love.” He pulled her into his arms and kissed her, gasping in shock as her tongue traced his fangs, fangs he had always been so careful to keep her from finding.

 

“I love you Sally.” He whispered tenderly as they parted so that she could breathe. He smiled, brushing her hair back from her face to simply stare at her.

 

“Stay with me.” He shook his head.

 

“You know what I am but do you really understand it? Waking up next to a corpse is not nice and that is what I'll be for the day.” He swallowed, hating that he had to say that but she needed to understand.

 

“I know and it's okay, I want you to stay with me.” He kissed her again before pulling away.

 

“And I want to stay but I meant it when I said I can't. There's things happening at the moment and I need to be there. I'll be back as soon as I can though, I swear.” Sally nodded and gave him one last kiss before returning to bed. Wufei forced himself to look away and finish dressing before slipping from the house.

 

---------------------------

Trowa followed the two older males as they made their way through the seemingly deserted town. He gripped the sword he'd been given tightly as he scanned their surroundings for threats. Nice way to spend his fourteenth birthday, not exactly the typical birthday but they had lost five hunters in the last three months, including Daniel. The town was all but deserted now; those who could leave had run months ago while the rest huddled in their houses at night praying for the dawn. They paused as Troy cautiously moved into an alley, having seen something. The dark haired male swore softly before giving the all clear. Trowa and Harold slipped into the alley only to find the body of a young woman, obviously dead. Trowa frowned and knelt beside her, gingerly rolling the body over. He froze as her face was revealed, hands shaking enough that his sword fell to the ground.

 

“Trowa?” Harold called gently, worried about the teen.

 

“No, please no.” He whispered, brushing matted hair back from her face.

“Catherine please wake up.” Troy exchanged a worried look with Harold before crouching beside the boy. He placed a hand on a shaking shoulder only for it to be violently shrugged off.

 

“Come on kid, we need to leave.” But Trowa ignored him, gently rocking his sisters' body and calling for her to wake up. But with half her throat torn out that was never going to happen. The two men looked at each other before Troy lashed out and then grabbed Trowa as the teen collapsed, unconscious from the blow. He lifted the light teen up and the headed back to the caves.

 

----------------------------

Trowa barely managed to swallow a scream as he jolted awake. He stumbled up from his pallet and over to the basin and jug of water to splash his face. Why did he see Catherine's face every time he closed his eyes? He knew the others were worried about him; he wasn't sleeping and barely ate anything. He'd started losing weight that he really couldn't afford to but he couldn't bring himself to care. Catherine, his beloved sister, was dead. Brutally killed by the creatures that had destroyed their world and he hadn't been able to save her. Why couldn't he have died in her place? He balled shaking hands into fists, not caring as his nails left bloody marks in his palms. He'd kill them all for what they had done to his family, he didn't care how long it took or what it cost. Taking a deep breath he left his room and headed for the training rooms.

 

---------------------------

Wufei looked around as he entered the meeting room, he'd much rather be spending the time with Sally but when the Council called you obeyed. Only Treize and Heero would ignore them and be relatively safe while doing so. And while he was powerful, especially for his age, he was nowhere near in their league. He couldn't help the small smile as his thoughts once again wandered to his lover. He'd started spending the day in her bed a few months ago and it was incredible to wake in the evening with her in his arms. He'd thought it all out carefully and he was going to ask if she would let him claim her as his mate. Then they would be together for eternity. But would she agree to being turned? Yes she accepted what he was but she had only ever seen certain aspects of his nature. He had been careful to never feed around her or use his mental powers. He forced his thoughts away from her as the Council entered and took their seats; it was going to be a long night.

 

It was near dawn when he slipped into Sally's room and stood at the foot of the bed, content to watch her sleep. He undressed silently and then slid in beside her, pulling her into his arms.

 

“Mmmm.” She moved slightly and he hushed her, smiling as she settled closer to him. He hated that he would have to leave at sunset but the Council had ordered him to look into what was happening in a nearby town and he had to obey. There was a small group already on the way but they were sending him to meet up with them as there was no one in the group over a hundred and there was always the slim chance they would need someone more experienced and powerful. He personally felt they should have done more nearly two years ago when the trouble had started but he wasn't going to tell them that.

“Wufei?” He looked down to see Sally was awake.

 

“I didn't mean to wake you love.”

 

“S'okay. Meeting went well?” She asked sleepily.

 

“I have to leave tonight but I shouldn't be gone for more than a week.”

 

“Don't want you to go.” She murmured and he smiled, kissing her on the nose.

 

“I know but when I get back I'll never leave you again.” He swore to her as she drifted back off to sleep.

 

--------------------------

Trowa threw himself at Troy's attacker, sword swinging but the vampire dodged. He didn't know how they had found the caves and frankly didn't care; all that mattered was killing them and protecting his friends. He screamed in rage as Troy fell, blood flowing freely from his torn throat. He ran at his friends' killer to take revenge, dimly aware that the sounds of fighting were dieing off but he didn't know which side was proving victorious. He fought, biting and kicking, as arms wrapped around him, lifting him clean off the floor, laughter surrounding him. That answered the question of who was winning. He continued to struggle even as his sword was ripped from his hand and he was carried over to a tall, aristocratic looking vampire. The vampire sneered down at him and he spat at it, earning him a slap to the face.

 

“Nothing more than a child but you'll do.” Trowa tried to scream as glowing eyes held his but the world was going dark. He didn't feel it as his body hit the ground when the vampire holding him let go, he was no longer aware of anything.

 

When he woke he found himself in a cold, bare cell and chained to the wall. He shuddered as he looked around only to see bones and tattered cloth. His whole body ached from the battle and his head felt as if it was stuffed with cotton but at least he was still alive. He stiffened as the door to his cell was opened and a vampire entered. He was released from the chains but easily caught when he tried to bolt.

 

“Stupid boy, there's nowhere to run.” The vampire hissed at him. But that didn't stop Trowa from fighting against him as he was dragged up stairs. He swallowed as he looked around the opulent room, full of vampires who were all staring at him hungrily. He recognised the one from the caves lounging on a throne like chair and fought even more fiercely as he was dragged towards him. Trowa fought a shudder as a cold finger traced down his cheek. The vampire smiled and pulled Trowa down into a mock embrace, nuzzling his neck. The teen fought tears as he realised what was going to happen, he would not cry! If he was going to die then he would go out fighting. He began struggling anew only to earn laughs from those watching. He couldn't help but scream as sharp fangs punctured his neck and his blood was pulled from his body. But his scream turned to a moan of pleasure as the vampire continued to feed. He'd never felt anything like this pleasure before, it was maddening and yet a part of him was screaming at him to fight it. He lay limply where he fell as the vampire pushed him away, unable to think past the haze of pleasure or the blood loss.

 

“Put him back for now.” The vampire dismissed him and his guard hauled him up, dragging him back downstairs where he was re-chained in his cell. In seconds he was hanging limply as he passed out from the blood loss.

 

-----------------------------

Wufei sat on his horse, looking down into the valley at the medium sized town. The whole valley was eerily silent even for the dead of night. He felt a few of the younger vampires shift nervously in their saddles but ignored them, stretching out his senses to try and find their prey. He snarled silently as he came up empty.

 

“We'll rest in those caves for the day.” He indicated a cave opening and they obeyed him instantly. It was too close to dawn to begin a proper search now, it would have to wait until nightfall.

 

TBC…

Brining Wufei and a bit of his back story into this too. Hope you like.

This is actually turning out harder than Call since I know where it will end up and a few of the stops along the way. It's the parts leading up to those bits that are hard.
