His lungs were burning and his legs were beginning to feel like blocks of cement. His training through most of his life wouldn't let him become this tired.. but he had been running for hours, which was much longer than he was trained to go for. If he kept this up he could put the Perfect soldier in shame. He was dodging the trees like they were nothing. He was still getting over the initial shock He couldn't believe that his best friends were... were... he couldn't even bring himself to say it. These girls.. were probably the only girls he didn't feel the need to blush around. He finally came to end of the woods, to a cliff. He was stuck now.
"Quetre!!!!" He heard one of them Call him. He heard the footsteps stop behind him. He saw both of them. One with Long flowing blonde hair and the other.. short black hair.
"I don't believe you two..." He backed up.
"We were going to tell you.."
"But you didn't.. all those times i let you stay in my home!! You could've... bit me??" He spat out the words as if they were curse words.
"But we didn't... We wanted to make you one of us but..." the Dark haired one said
"We started to love you, Like a brother, and wanted to let you have that choice." The Blonde one said taking a few steps to him while he took a few steps back knowing her was nearing the edge.
"Can Vampires love??" he said.
"Ones with Souls can..." She said softly. "Please just hear us out." The blonde took a few more steps towards him and he still back up nearing the edge.
"We're not like normal Vampires.." The dark haired one said obviously crying. "We don't have that constant need to feed." She said the words weren't registering into his mind.. he just was still under the shock and took that final step back hoping that he would survive the fall.
"No!!!" They both ran to the edge to only see the water rush upon the shore... no sign of Quetre. They both knew they had to live on with that constant sadness for the one person they trusted most... the one person they wouldn't think twice of biting at all.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Maxwell!!!!" Wufei was chasing his fellow pilot around the room starting the day off with their Usual Chase.
"5 Bucks says he catches him today!!" One boy said.
"I say 10 he does." Another boy says.
"20 dollars say he won't in time for the teacher gets here!!!" A girl got in on the action.
"You're on!!!" Both boys said. Quetre shook his head.. there goes 40 dollars in the girl's pocket.. Duo is quite fast even for early in the morning. Quetre ran his finger through his blonde hair. he glanced at Heero who was waiting for the right moment to pull his gun if the teacher decided to be late today. Then he glanced to his left to see the love of his life, Trowa Barton.. although Trowa doesn't know about his feelings for him. Quetre could never find the perfect time to say anything to his tall, placid friend. That's probably what bothered him most.. The other pilots knew how he felt about him, but he doesn't know.
"Almost got him!!!" one of the boys who were betting before cut through Quetre's thoughts. Then the Teacher walked into the class room.
"Yes!!! 40 dollars for me!!!" The girl said as the two guys groaned.
"Mr. Maxwell... Mr. Chang Sit down right now!!!" The teacher said with her usual vein popping. She already knew this was going to be a long day. The two sat down in their seats which are placed on the opposite sides of the room. Only then did they mumble their apology. "Good.. now class we have 2 exchange students... Don't bother them are the orders given straight from Miss Peacecraft." She walked over to the door and let in the two girls.. instead of the usual school uniforms they would be forced to wear they wore mostly black.
The Taller dark haired one wore black jeans, a white T-shirt with 'Heaven's Demon' Written across the front in red glitter and a black dress shirt over top the T-shirt. she wore thin rimmed glasses giving her the look of a genius and her black heir was tamed by a black head band. The shorter one with the long blonde Hair pulled up into a high pony-tail wore a long black skirt and a black T-shirt that said 'Hell's Angel' in silver glitter. She took off her black shade's to reveal beautiful blue eyes. She had more of an 'I'll kick your ass if you mess with Me.' feel around her. Both girls set their eyes on one particular character in the class and glanced at each other with shock written all over their faces.
"Please introduce yourselves." The teacher said.
"I'm Leana (Li-ana) Tsukino please Call me Lea and i look forward to making many friends here." She said sweetly.
"I'm Serena Usagi Tsukino... Call me anything except cutie, babe, hottie, tenshi, Onna, or any other pet names that would get you slapped and hard. Same goes if i catch you calling my sister any of those." She said mainly targeting two people in the audience.
"Lea.. could you please take a seat next to... "
"Here!!! place her here!!! please!!!!" One boy looked like he was going to pee his pants if she wasn't seated next to him.
"Only if you don't harass the girl.." The teacher narrowed her eyes at the boy.
"I promise!!!!" He said.. Lea couldn't help but giggle.
"If he gives you any trouble let me know." She said. Lea nodded and took her seat next to the boy.
"Hi I'm Duo Maxwell.. Welcome to Peacecraft Academy."
"Now.. Serena."
"Call me Usagi.." She said putting on a sweet smile momentarily for the teacher that quickly vanished with the nod from the teacher.
"Usagi... I will sit you next to... Heero.. Heero raise your hand please??" A hand shot up then quickly placed back down. She walked to where the hand was at. Quetre was looking Very pale right about now.
Class seemed to take forever to go by. Quetre kept sneaking glances at the two girls. Never in a million years did he think he would see those two again. the last time he had seen them was just after finding his sister Iria. He had been out cold or something.. that was a good four years ago when he was 14 just about to be 15. He was lucky he had hid Sandrock underneath the water of that Cliff. But now he feared for the lives of everyone in this classroom.. in this whole school even. Part of him wanted to go ahead and talk to the two girls and demand them to leave.. the other part just sort of feared for himself. The only reason he was so furious with the two was because he had believed that their kind doesn't exist.. but they had proved him wrong with their teeth the sharp teeth that would pierce the softness of any flesh. After what seemed like years the bell rang ending all classes for the day.
"So ba-" Duo stopped himself remembering the threat of the tough sister. "Lea.. Where do you and your sister come from."
"We come from Japan.." Lea said to the guy with the braid. Just at that moment Quetre made his appearance in the middle of the conversation.. yes, he still considered them friends.. I mean they did tell him before doing anything like biting him.. he shuddered at the thought. "Hi Quetre.. Long time, No see." She bowed.
"You know Q-man??" Duo asked.
"Yeah we know him.." A cold voice said behind them. They turned around to see Serena. "Nice seeing you again Quetre.. Let's go Lea.. We have to talk to Miss Peacecraft."
"Later Duo.. Remember Ice Cream later!!" Lea grinned and waved goodbye to him.
"Sure!!!" he smiled.
"Maxwell and his Onna..."
"Duo, Be careful of those two.. they're not normal.." Quetre said
"I'll say how often to do you get Two Gorgeous girls in the same family!!" Duo said.
"NO.. They're not Normal at all..." Quetre said then walked away with much on his mind. Trowa watched him leave.. he's never seen him so worried about something or someone.
"You Already made a date with him??" Serena said to her Twin. (although not identical twins)
"Yes.. I thought he was cute!!"
"You know Quetre isn't going to let you have a relationship with one of his friends.."
"As you.. I saw you eyeing that Heero guy!!" Lea said just before walking into Releana's office.
"Hi again!!!" Releana looked up from a romance novel.
"That one's really good!!! It's my favorite!!!" Lea Pointed to the Book Releana was reading.
"Mine too!!" Releana grinned then cleared her throat. "Now there is only one thing i must know.."
"What's that??" Both girls asked.
"How often must you feed."
"Lena..." Usagi eyes softened for one of her best friends..
"I know you told me when we first met four years ago... but i was too astonished by the truth to listen." Releana whined at her two friends..
"Every New moon!!!" Lea lowered her eyes.
"Please don't feel bad on my account.." Releana said.
"That's not it... I don't like the fact that we're taking from you... I mean you're so young.. and very important to the world.. we could end up killing you one day."
"Listen.. You two are probably one of my true friends.. and i must say I'm willing to sacrifice a little blood to help you out."
"But Lea's right... we might end up killing you and Quetre will only think worse of us."
"You know Quetre.."
"Yeah.. he ditched us when he found out about us.."
"Oh.. I see.." Releana looked down at the desk. "So why don't we try my plan for a little while... then we'll see what we can do later." Lea just got up and left the office in tears.
"Releana.. we'll do it that way for 3 months.. if you feel any sort of dizziness after that we're going to have to turn to Dr. J for help again." Serena said. Releana nodded at the girl. then she was gone
