Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Vampire Wars ❯ Death Becomes Her ( Chapter 4 )

Thank you for those who left the reviews! I really like it when people comment on my story, it makes me happier to write more!

Krista stood motionless, as she felt the blood seep down her neck. The cloaked stranger kept their position, still holding the scythe to her throat. "Now" Finally speaking again, "Why are you following a vampire? Don't you know you're just asking for your death?" Krista backed away, and tried to see who her attacker was. "Keep looking forward!" He shouted, making Krista stiffen. "Who, who are you?" She was finally able to spit out. "That is none of your concern. I am the Messenger of Death, I am the Bringer of Destruction, I am…"

"Duo!"

Duo collapses with a sweat drop over his head, as a blonde man comes running up. Krista stares at the blue eyed cutie, wearing a purple vest. "Duo, hey Duo!" A vein forms over Duo as he stands up, "God Damn it Quatre, why don't you just give everyone my identity!" Quatre just looks at Duo clueless, "I am suppose to be feared, I'm suppose to be mysterious!" Duo yells at Quatre (who wasn't listening). Quatre stepped over to where Krista was standing, and holds out his hand. "I'm sorry, how rude of me. Let me introduce myself, I'm Quatre Raberba Winner." Krista gives Quatre her hand and smiles, "Detective Noventa." "Wow a Detective, you look young to be one." Krista sticks her tongue out and giggles. Duo now had many veins over himself as he marches towards Quatre, "What are you doing conversing with her!?" Duo shouted. "What's wrong with talking to her? She's nice." Duo pulls Quatre over to the side and whispers in his ear, "remember we're not suppose to get friendly with the law!" "Oh, right." Duo scratches his light brown hair, and throws back his long braid. His sapphire eyes exam Krista, giving her a smirk. "Forget everything ya just heard, okay! In fact, just go back home and chase a robber or something. Leave the vampires to me!" He starts to walk away, but Krista wasn't having it. "Hold it!" She shouted, dashing in front of Duo. "I faced him before, and survived, twice! Don't tell me I can't handle myself!" Duo just steps around her, "You're right, I don't have to tell you. I already know you can't." Krista puffs her cheeks and gives him a dirty glare. Quatre looks at Duo, then Krista, and then Duo again. Not knowing what to say, he shrugs and starts to follow Duo. "Oh ya!" Krista screamed. "I'm not afraid of some vampire who reads books! Ooo look at me, I'm a fierce vampire who reads Of Mice and Men! I'm so scared." Duo stops dead in his tracks, his face as white as a ghost. Quatre looks at his friend with concern, "Duo?" But he did not respond. The reflection in Duo's eyes faded and a light flashed through his mind. A little girl standing in a meadow turns around, her brunette hair captured by the wind as she smiles. Another light flashed. Duo snaps out of it, and sees a worried Quatre. "Duo, are you okay?" Duo turns back towards Krista and violently grabs her arm, "What did you just say!?' He demanded, shaking her a bit. "Oww! Hey! All I said was I'm not afraid of a vampire who reads Of Mice and Men! So let go!" Duo releases her, and his eyes narrow. "Trowa." "What!?" Quatre wailed rushing to them. "Trowa? He's here?!" Duo nods, "Finally." He grits his teeth and fist. "You know him?" Krista asked, rubbing her arm. But Duo didn't answer, still gazing down. Quatre at last spoke up, "Let's just say he's faced him before." Duo turns back to Krista, startling her. His face showed anger, but in his eyes reflected sadness. Krista bit her lower lip, "I wasn't going to say anything, but you seem to hate him more then I do." One eyebrow raises on Duo's face, "Well," She continued. "I know where Trowa lives." "YOU WHAT!?" Duo practically screams. "How could you know where a vampire lives?" "I have my ways." Krista says smiling. "And I can take you there." Duo realized what her motives were, and was about to protest, but figured there was no way he was going to win. "Fine, meet us here at 5:00 PM tomorrow." "That sounds great to…" But before she could finish, they were gone. Krista puffed her cheeks, "They could of at least offered me a ride home!" And walks off.

It was the next day, and Krista waited in the park. She taps her foot and stares at her wristwatch; it was ten after. Krista rolled her eyes, "Men, they can never be on time!" A finger gently touches her shoulder; she spins around and sees a smiling Quatre and an annoyed Duo. "Hello Krista, sorry to keep you waiting." Quatre apologizes. "Apologies excepted." Krista smiled back. Now duo was the one rolling his eyes, "Enough with the chit chat, let's go!" He points to a large van painted black. Quatre opens the door for Krista, "Thank you." She cheerfully says and sits in the passenger seat. They drove to the outer city limits, and to the same place Krista was dropped off last time. "Beyond those trees is his mansion!" Krista points out and then stumbling over the fence, falling face first. Duo shakes his head and Quatre laughs, helping her up. They walk till they reached the opening, and Krista gasps. "Where is it!? I swear it was here yesterday!" Duo chuckles as he stares up at the sun setting, "This is a vampire's house, which means it doesn't appear till sunset." "Huh?" Krista asked turning back towards him, and then back in front of her. "AHHHHHHH!!!" She screamed as the mansion appeared out of nowhere. Duo and Quatre snicker watching the expression on Krista's face. "Okay." Duo takes out his scythe and Quatre takes out a crossbow. "Let's go! Except for you, stay here!" Duo points to Krista, as they run into the house. Duo scans the area, as Quatre backs him up. He approaches the armchair, and glares at the novel. "Let's check upstairs, his coffin must be in one of those rooms." He tells Quatre snatching the book. They searched the rooms upstairs, but found nothing. There were two doors left, Duo motion's Quatre to the one at the end of the hallway. Quatre nods and prepares his bow. He reaches for the doorknob and was instantly thrown back, electric shocks still surging off his body. "Quatre!" Duo cries running to his aid. Quatre coughs and gives Duo a thumbs up, "Thank God." Duo says relieved, and looks at the door. "That's the room then." He takes his weapon and swings it over his head, bringing it down. There was barley a scratch on the door. Duo tries again, and again. "Not even a dent, Damn!" Duo bangs his fist on the door, a laughter is heard from inside. Duo's eyes widen as the door swings open, knocking him over. A gust of wind kept him and Quatre down, as a dark shadow zipped by them both. Finally the wind died down, and Duo pulls his cape away from his face. He noticed the book was gone, "Quatre, are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm fine." They both glanced up as if they could sense someone there. Trowa stood on the chandelier, holding the novel in his grasp. Duo grabs his scythe and leaps at him. Trowa dodges the attack, and watches Duo slice the lights. In a quick flash, Trowa blocks an attack, and then another. Quatre tried to aim his crossbow at him, but could not keep up with the fighters. "You're mine Trowa!" Duo screamed swiping at him, Trowa laughs and flips backwards onto a windowsill. "You're still mad about that?" He taunts flying out to the trees. "You're not getting away!" Duo shouts following him. Krista watches as the two men jumped from treetop to treetop, like it was nothing. She turns her attention to Quatre scurrying from the mansion, into the van. "Wait!" She cried, but he was already speeding off. "Of all the…" Krista dashed down the dirt road and right in front of a car, "Follow that van!" She demanded showing her badge at the confused driver. The car stops by the park; she quickly thanks him and heads off. In the distance, she hears rustling in the trees, "That must be them." She tells herself, as she ran through the park. Krista stops to take a breather, and tries to listen for more fighting. Two hands came up from behind her, covering Krista's mouth and pulling her down. Before she knew it, a sharp pain was on her neck. Krista tried to move, but was pinned down. They began to suck the blood from her, she felt herself becoming weaker and weaker. Her eyes turned dull, as her head falls down. The young man let's go of Krista, and wipes his mouth. His dark brown hair hid his sky blue eyes, as he peers down at the completely drained girl. He takes his wrist and cuts it, letting the blood drip down her mouth. "It's so warm." She thought, as it seeps into her throat. Her arms twitch a bit, and she lifts them up to his wrist. She pulls it down closer to her mouth, and begins to suck the blood. He allows Krista to drink, watching her with his emotionless face. Krista's eyes sprung wide open, as she threw herself over screaming. Her heart beat faster and faster; she couldn't take the pain she felt anymore. Screaming and screaming, clutching herself. Her attacker just stared as she flung over to him, grabbing his green tank top and passing out.
