Chapter 5

 

 

 

Duo stared out the window, his mind refusing to believe what he was seeing. This simply couldn't be real. It was like being back in time, except for the occasional power pole. He could see the nearby city from his window and it made him feel sick. There were no high-rises, no cars, and pretty much no familiar technology at all. He sat at the window, just watching, all day, ignoring the meals that were left for him. No one attempted to talk to him until after the sun went down. There was a soft knock and then someone entered but he still didn't move.

 

“They said you've been sitting there all day. Surely you're hungry?” Duo didn't answer. He stiffened as a gentle hand came to rest on his. He turned his head enough to see a small blond, maybe a few years younger than him. The teen smiled at him.

“Please eat something, starving yourself won't change anything. My name is Quatre.” Duo slowly and stiffly slid off of the sill and walked over to the table where his dinner was waiting.

 

“Duo.” He sat and began to pick at the food until his hunger kicked in.

“Did that Heero guy kidnap you too?”

 

“Papa saved me from the same people who took you. But I was with them longer.” Duo flinched at the quiet words. Wait a minute.

 

“Papa?”

 

“The drugs damaged my mind. I was mentally a baby by the time he cleared them from my body. I grew up seeing him as my father.”

 

“But…he's like my age. That would have taken years.”

 

“It took a long time. Papa says I may never fully recover from the damage but I'm happy. I have him and Trowa and now you as well.”

 

“Did he brainwash you or something? The guy's crazy! There is no way I could sleep for seventy years!”

 

“It was a stasis spell, it put you in a types a suspended animation.”

 

“Riiight. And who did it? The Wizard of Oz?” Quatre laughed.

 

“No, Papa did.”

 

“Okay, so I was in stasis and you guys what? Took a de-aging potion?” Duo snorted in disbelief. Poor kid was obviously mentally unstable.

 

“Didn't Papa tell you?” Quatre didn't look happy.

 

“Tell me what?”

 

“What he is, what me and Trowa are too.”

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

“We're vampires Duo.” Duo stared at him for a few seconds before cracking up.

 

“Nice one kid.” Quatre looked distressed at his reaction.

 

“Duo I'm serious! We are vampires. Look.” Quatre opened his mouth wide, allowing his fangs to show. When he closed it again his eyes were glowing slightly. Duo stared in shock for a few seconds before falling out of his chair and scrambling away.

“Duo!”

 

“Stay away from me!” Quatre flinched at his reaction but kept up his slow approach.

 

“Duo I'm not going to hurt you, promise. Please, just sit and finish your dinner. No one here will hurt you.” Quatre extended his hand to the cornered teen.

“Please.” Quatre was upset. He could feel Duo's confusion and fear and it was added to by his own guilt for not explaining better. They both looked to the door as it opened and another teen strode in. Quatre smiled at his friend.

 

“Quatre?”

 

“It's okay Trowa. I kind of gave Duo a scare. Papa hadn't told him about us.” The younger vampire nodded at the explanation.

“Duo this is Trowa. He's been my friend since, well a long time now.”

 

“He's a ….?”

 

“Yes, Trowa's a vampire too. He's the youngest. Papa changed him so that we wouldn't be said when he aged and died. He won't hurt you either. Please? Aren't you still hungry?” Duo nodded slowly and got to his knees. Quatre and Trowa backed off to give him room, which he was grateful for.

 

“So why am I here? Why did Heero kidnap me and make me sleep for seventy years?”

 

“You're Papa's mate. The sleep is to cut your ties with mortals.” Quatre shrugged.

“Obviously everyone you knew is dead or Papa would have left you asleep longer.” Duo paled. Hilde was dead? Nick, Alex and the rest of the boys he had helped with their baseball practise? All of them dead. He closed his eyes against the tears.

“How dare he!” Duo snarled.

“What gave him the right to steal my life!” Duo slammed his chair back and began pacing the room. Quatre winced at the strong emotions and smiled up at Trowa as a grounding hand was placed on his shoulder.

 

“Duo please! If he hadn't you would have ended up where I was, a slave house. Would you have preferred that? And even if he had left you after saving you from that you may have died or been taken as a slave or pet by another vampire when they took over. There are many out there who would have used you, broken you and then killed you. Not all are like us. Please, just give us, give Papa a chance.”

 

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

“It's good to see you again Heero.” Heero nodded at the other vampire.

“I understand that you took Trowa as your Childe, I'm assuming you altered his mind?”

 

“He remembers nothing of his old life. To his knowledge he was always a pet, I would appreciate it if you acted as if that were so.”

 

“Of course. How is the little one?”

 

“He has made a vast improvement. Mentally he is the teenager he appears, although sometimes a bit more mature thanks to his empathy and actual age.”

 

“I am glad to hear it. To be trapped eternally with the mentality of a child.” Wufei shuddered.

 

“He would have known nothing else.” Heero shrugged.

 

“I wish my visit were solely for social reasons.” Heero eyes him carefully.

“There have been several attacks, two fatal.” Hero sat up, all attention on his companion.

 

“By whom?”

 

“Unbound humans working in their homes. We lost Sally and Geoffrey.” Heero swore, he'd known them both for many centuries.

 

“Do we know what the reason behind the attacks is?”

 

“No, the humans have all committed suicide before they could be questioned. It is believed to be the first wave in an attempt to over through us.”

 

“What is the Council doing?”

 

“Culling the larger cities and towns of troublemakers and the stronger men. They have also issued a decree.”

 

“What?”

 

“No household is to have any unbound humans in it. They are to be bound or killed within three days. It is your choice how they are bound, wether as slave or pet but it must be done. It is the Councils will.” Heero swore again.

 

“What is it?”

 

“I just woke my mate. It will take more than three days to convince him to accept the claim and to agree to be turned.”

 

“He has to accept the claim in three days Heero. I suggest you begin `convincing' him.”

 

“Quatre is with him now. This has to be the worst timing ever! If I bind him in any other way the claim will not take.”

 

“You may have no other choice if you don't want him to die.”

 

“Excuse me please. I will send Quatre and Trowa to you.” Wufei nodded in understanding. He had lost Sally in a similar way; he had waited too long to claim her and another and taken her as their pet before eventually turning her. And now he had lost her to death.

 

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

They all looked over as the door opened to reveal an upset Heero.

 

“Papa?” Quatre stood and moved to his Sires side, eyes showing his fear and worry.

 

“Go with Trowa and talk with Wufei, he'll explain.” Quatre looked at Trowa who nodded and stood to leave.

 

“Bye Duo.” The two vampires left and Duo was not very happy to be left alone with Heero.

 

“Quatre thinks I should go easy on you.” Duo stated, earning a small smile.

 

“He is very protective of me.” Heero stepped further into the room and closed the door, locking it. Duo swallowed and moved away from him.

“I'm not here to harm you.” Heero looked at the table, good Duo had eaten.

 

“So why are you here?”

 

“The Council has sent word. There have been several attacks on my people, two fatal.”

 

“I'm sorry but why tell me?”

 

“They were done by unbound human staff members.”

 

“Still not seeing the connection.”

 

“The Council has decreed that all humans in a household must be bound or killed within three days.”

 

“Oh shit. You are not killing me without a fight!”

 

“Do you really think you could fight me if that was my intention?” Heero growled, eyes glowing. Duo froze, unable to move as Heero's power moved through him. But for once he was totally aware and not half asleep.

“I am over four thousand years old, there are very few older or more powerful than I. But even I must obey the Council.” He sighed tiredly and stepped closer, holding Duo's face between his hands.

“I will not kill you Duo. I told you, you are my mate. I had hoped to give you more time to adjust but at least the claim must be completed by then.”

 

“Cl…Claim?”

 

“You will be marked as my mate. Here.” Heero's hand moved to rest on the back of Duo's neck and he shivered at the sensation of the cool hand on his skin.

 

“I am not some lost puppy you can just claim!” Duo snarled and tried to pull away. Heero simply over rid his control of his body.

 

“I know that! But this has to be done. Don't you understand, you will die!”

 

“So what! No one loves a street rat!” Duo paled slightly at his own words.

 

“I do!” Heero's reply was even more shocking but his next actions outdid everything else. Cool lips closed over his as arms wrapped around him. Duo stood frozen for several long moments before slowly beginning to respond. He moaned and Heero slipped his tongue past his parted lips. They kissed for several long minutes until Duo nicked his tongue on a fang and remembered exactly who and what he was kissing.

 

“No!” Duo pushed himself away from the vampire.

 

“Why not? You obviously want me.”

 

“You…you're…”

 

“A vampire? So what.”

 

“So what? You kidnapped me!”

 

“I could make you forget that, I could wipe all memory of your life before me.” Heero hissed dangerously.

 

“But then I wouldn't be me anymore and you claimed to love me.” Duo said triumphantly.

 

“True but I could simply make you want this.”

 

“No.” Duo backed off further but Heero followed him, trapping him against the wall.

 

“Don't fight me Duo.” The braided teen looked anywhere but at the glowing blue eyes.

“That won't help Duo.”

`Duo look at me.'

 

“N…No.” Duo stuttered but he could feel his head turning slowly. He fought with everything he had against the mental command.

 

`So strong. This is why I love you. I will not watch you die, even if it means making you hate me for doing this.' Duo shut his eyes tightly, tears leaking out.

`Please Duo, don't fight me.'

 

“Get out of my head!” To Heero's complete surprise Duo managed to through off his mental command. He chuckled lightly at that. Instead of being mad he was proud of his mates achievement but they did not have time for this.

 

“You would prefer death?” He asked softly.

“Am I really that bad?” Duo looked up at the pain in his voice and their eyes met but there was no power in Heero's gaze now, only centuries of loneliness and pain. Duo felt his heart soften slightly.

 

“No.” He whispered.

 

“I can't watch you die Duo, please.” Heero's tone was only just short of begging and Duo didn't know what to do. He had kidnapped him, stolen his life but he was offering him a new one. One with a family, where he would be loved, was that such a bad exchange? Did he really want to die that much? Hesitantly he raised a hand to touch a cool cheek.

 

“You're so cold.” He whispered. Heero actually flinched slightly at that. Taking a deep breath Duo leant forward and tentatively pressed his lips to Heero's. Heero remained completely still, letting Duo do what he wanted. Duo pulled back and looked him straight in the eye.

“I don't want to die.” Heero smiled.

 

“You won't.” He answered just as softly. He began actively responding to Duo's kisses, encouraging the mortal to explore his mouth. Keeping Duo occupied he began moving them backwards towards the bed. He felt his knees hit the edge and then twisted and pushed so that he landed on top of the stunned mortal.

“Relax Duo, I won't hurt you.” He nuzzled a warm neck before moving downwards; leaving a trail of kisses and light nips. He smiled against warm skin as he heard Duo moan. He trailed his fangs down the soft skin and Duo gasped. He carefully removed the teens shirt and his own, letting Duo get used to the sensation of their skin together. He soon had Duo an incoherent writhing mess on the bed but that stoped as soon as his hands went to Duo's pants. He tensed up and tried to pull away.

“Duo?”

 

“No, please don't. I can't!” Duo was beginning to panic so he pulled back a bit.

 

“Duo relax, I won't hurt you. I promise.” But Duo kept shaking his head.

“Shh.” He soothed, moving up so that he could cradle the other in his arms.

 

“I'm sorry I can't.” Duo said softly, eyes still wide with fear.

 

“Let me take your fear Duo.” Heero whispered in his ear, nibbling at it slightly.

“I can make it go away.” He exerted just a little power, just enough that Duo would be able to think past the fear he was feeling.

“I promise all you will feel is pleasure.” Duo moaned slightly as he continued his assault on his ear.

 

“I….”

 

“Please Duo.” He licked at his neck and Duo whimpered.

 

“Yes.” Heero smiled and cupped Duo's face in his hands, moving so that they had eyes contact. He smiled softly.

 

“Relax Duo. Your body is completely relaxed, so much so that you can barely move.” He watched as Duo's eyes slid halfway shut and the body in his arms began to go limp.

“There is no fear Duo, only pleasure. Do you understand?”

 

“Yes.” The answer was a content murmur.

 

“Good.” He whispered and leant in, kissing him again. Duo responded instantly, not noticing when his tongue once again nicked a fang. He laid Duo back on the bed and the teen laid there, body too relaxed to move. Heero went back to what he ad been doing before, earning moans and whimpers from Duo. This time there was no reaction as his hands went to Duo's pants, carefully undoing them and removing them.

“So beautiful Duo.” He moved back up for another kiss, only breaking away when Duo absolutely had to breath. Removing his own pants was easy and he could see Duo watching him through half closed eyes. What he could see of the amethyst orbs was glazed by arousal. He lay over Duo and the teen moaned again.

 

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

Heero held Duo close, licking the back of his neck. Duo was mostly asleep, a combination off their previous activities and the remainder of Heero's influence. Lovingly he bit down on the tender skin and Duo gasped, body convulsing slightly. He pulled back once sure he'd drawn blood and then bit his own lip before kissing the small wound, letting their blood mingle. He smiled as the wound began to heal before his eyes, the blood seeping into the skin to create the claim mark. Duo was gasping, writhing in his arms as the power flooded through him before he suddenly passed out.

 

“Mine.” He whispered and pulled the covers over them. There were still several hours until dawn.
