Chapter Thirteen

Vampires don`t mate with human

Lilly watched Rei curiously. She had been wondering why Rei had been so close to that Human. It was back at the airport that she had the suspicions that something strange was going on with Rei, and now Rei was hesitating, something Lilly had never seeing her done before.

"What is it that you`re so protective of her?" she asked.

Rei stood up from the bed and ran a hand through her blue locks of hair.

"It`s…strange that I would be worrying about her like that, and I don`t understand where the sudden…concern… for her came from."

Lilly starred at Rei. Could she be…

"Rei…have you had a mate before?"

The pureblood stared at her, narrowing her eyes in a slight confusion, "What does that have to do with anything?"

Lilly smirked, "Because it sound like you`ve found your mate."

Rei simply watched her in confusion, then, her eyes widen with shock.

"Mate? As Asuka?" she sputtered, "No…that have to be a mistake. Vampires don`t mate with Humans. It had never been done before."

"Rei…I'm calling it the way I'm seeing it," Lilly grinned a Cheshire grin, "Ah, something up there must be favoring me, witnessing the great Rei Ayanami first`s love."

Rei stayed still and Lilly noticed a light fear in her eyes.

"But…why her? Why now?"

"Rei…"

"I don`t want her to find out," Rei said, "I don`t want her to know about this."

"Rei, you will have to tell her…"

The pureblood silenced her with a glare, making Lilly knew the answer before she even spoke.

"No, this stay between us, you got this."

Why do you have to be so stubborn, Lilly thought, you should be happy that you`ve found your mate.

But she said out loud, "As you wish Rei, I won`t speak of it."

Rei nodded, running a hand through her hair again.

But, let`s see if you can resist the Pull, Lilly thought, that inexplicable need to be with her at all time…to feel her…to touch her…to mark her as yours…Ah, this trip is starting to get interesting, and technically, you are forgetting Rei, Asuka is not a Human being…she is a Hunter, a supernatural creature like us…

That night, Rei left the hotel so that she could find where the strange warnings of her instincts were coming from. She ventured into the streets, jumping from rooftops to the other before landing upon a high point.

Glancing around, letting her instincts guided her, Rei noticed that they were leading her toward the middle of the city and she stopped in front of a large Cathedral.

"A church," she whispered.

She could tell that the church was empty and as she observed the large building, a strange and familiar scent hit her nose.

That scent? Why would that scent be here for? Misato told us that they were out of town, unless she was lying or is this their secret Headquarters of some kind?

Rei frowned at the possibilities. She wanted to investigate the place to find out her own truth, and she can see that her vampire instincts were telling her that she should avoid this place at all cost, and she wanted to know why.

It`s not Magic, nor the structure. It`s something far more dangerous and deadly…, she thought to herself.

But what could be so dangerous that it would send a vampire running in the other direction?

She has to find out.

Asuka knocked on the door of the vampire`s room. She waited a little before the door was opened thought, she was disappointed somewhat that it wasn`t Rei who had answered.

Lilly blinked owlishly before saying.

"Hey, Asuka ya need something?"

"I…I wanted to speak with Rei," Asuka said.

"Ah! Sorry but she left the hotel awhile ago," Lilly said.

"Left," Asuka repeated.

"Yeah," Lilly said, "saying that she had something important to take care of."

"Oh,"

Lilly must have noticed her tone since she stepped back, "C`mon in."

Asuka did so, and her eyes quickly found Rei`s small bag and noticed that they sword bag was gone.

"So, Asuka want a drink?"

She turned toward the vampire who was holding out a soda can at her.

"I`m kinda full from eating earlier," Asuka answered.

"Really?" Lilly said, "I`ve always wondered how these things tasted like?"

"You don`t…"

"Nope," Lilly said, "I`ve been a vampire for at least…500 years at most. Back in those days, everything was so different than now…it would seem that it an entirely different world now."

Asuka watched her. It was almost unbelievable to see someone who doesn`t look a day over 22, lived for more than five centuries. Then, Lilly turned toward her.

"What makes you trust us like that Asuka?" she asked, "Hunters and Vampires aren't exactly the best of pals for a long time."

"I think it`s the only way to stop these wars from happening again," Asuka said, "if both races don`t trust each other, war will start again and I don`t want that."

"Easier said than done," Lilly answered her, "The Vampire Council are all pureblood vampires who thinks that all the rest of the world are nothing but pest. I wouldn't be surprised if they were behind the attacks on you."

Asuka starred at the vampire.

"This war is with no end," Lilly said, "Vampires…Hunters…we are destined to be enemies. I`m sure your friend Misato would love nothing except killing both me and Rei off."

She then glanced at the ceiling seemingly deep in thought.

"If Rei pull something like that off, it will be a miracle."

Rei approached the church like a shadow. As she can see, the church is very old, probably as old as the city itself. She pushed open the door which opened with a groaning sound.

The entire place was dark, except for the candles that were light under the statue of the Saints. The scent of Hunters were strong in this place, making her more cautious. She extended her senses, trying to detect any other presence in the church…

"You are not welcome here," a voice answered.

Rei spun around, drawing her blade to defend herself as she spun around to meet…

An elderly man stood there dressed in pastor robes and Rei narrowed her eyes slightly at him, wondering how this man had stuck up on her without even alerting her of his presence. Whoever this guy was…he was quite skilled…for his age. The man`s glasses glinted in the soft orange light of the candles, the aged lines on his face were tenses.

"I`m sorry," Rei said, sheathing her sword back into place.

"You are not welcome here…bloodsucker," the priest said.

Rei tensed slightly, narrowing here eyes at the man.

"How do you know what I am?"

"I`ve seen my fair share of your kind," the priest said, glaring at her through his glasses, "Leave here at once."

Rei walked past the man toward the door taking in the priest scent, recognizing it instantly.

Hunter…

When she opened the door, the priest said, "Come by here again and I won`t be so lenient."

Rei`s dark magic suddenly sprung in her palm covering it in shadows, as she glared back at the man, her eyes glowing red and her fangs where gleaming white in the darkness…

"Neither would I, Hunter,"

Then, she melted into the shadows.

The priest breathed out, letting the tension out of his body. He had half expected the vampire to attack him with that last bit he made, but it seems luck was on his side tonight.

"Nasty little beasts aren`t they?" a new voice said.

"Father Louis," the Priest said, looking toward the new arrival.

The man was much younger, his dark hair thrown back, a small smirk on his lips as his robes bellowed behind him. A cross shining on his chest.

"So, a vampire in Rome," Father Louis said, "Interesting. But keep an eye out on her, we wouldn`t want anything to interfere now that we have the Soryu child with us."

"I`ll send the best trackers after her," the priest said.

"Make sure you do, but don`t engage her in a battle…after all she is the pureblood Rei Ayanami, The Doll. We wouldn`t want to cause a bloodbath now, would we?" Father Louis said casually.

By the time Rei returned to the hotel, it was in the early hours of morning, thought she came through the verenda window.

"Where were you all this time?" Lilly asked, "You`ve got Asuka worried."

Rei glared at her at the jab, growling.

"Sheesh, what`s got you in a bad mood?"

Rei put her sword down on the bed and seated.

"I went to investigate that feelings to where it`s originated."

"Should have known," Lilly said, "What did you find?"

"It`s a church in the city," Rei told her, "and Hunters are controlling it. One of them managed to sneak up on me…how I have no idea."

"He sneaked up on you?" Lilly repeated shocked.

"Yeah," Rei said, "Something strange is going on in this place…something extremely dangerous."

Lilly sighed.

"Just when I thought we could us the vacation."

"Just when," Rei repeated slowly, "What do you mean Asuka was worried about me?"

"Yeah, she wanted to speak to you," Lilly said.

"You didn`t tell her…"

"Relax blunette, I didn`t tell her," Lilly said, "But I can tell you are important to her, just as she is to you."

Rei didn`t even had an answer to that.
