It all started on a dreary afternoon, when the sun was covered by black, rain-filled clouds. I zipped up my jacket, bracing against the wind, and began my long walk home. You see, i live in the mountains far away from any town, but that's how i like it.
The trees that surrounded me, seemed to be trying to tell me something, but i was deaf with the urgency of my journey. As i walked, i was overcome with a strange feeling....like my soul was screaming in terror. I quickened my step, afraid then, jumping at every broken twig and every twitching bug. I started to run, knowing that I might just be acting paranoid, but when i looked behind me, i saw the vampire pursuing me....
azy
the vampire who was chasing azy was none other than V. She had plenty of experience chacing down her victims, but this one was different...maybe another one lke herself who was afraid of their kind....
V.-
In Azy's terror, he stumbled and fell to the ground, shattering his wrist on an exposed tree root. He turned to face his fate, and saw the Vampiress standing above him, with a forlorn expression on her face. He wondered to himself why she hesitated, and didnt go for the kill while she stood above him. The look in her eyes was that of sadness, and Azy was filled with hope, not because he might survive, but because he might have found someone as lonely as he...
azy-
Maybe Azy's experstion was right.....maybe she was too lonely and got her pleasure from killing mortals...what ever the truth be, he might be the one....
V.-
Azy waits and waits for the advance that would bring his death, but it never comes. Perhaps she sees something in him, just as he could see something in her. Carefully, he stands up and faces her on the same level, and slowly draws his sleeve upwards on his arm, revealing a tattoo clearly revealing the truth about his identity....He was a vampire, just like she, branded and exiled to wander the earth alone....
azy-
seeing the tatto, vampiredust lifts her sleve to show him hers....she throws herself on top of him and bites his neck....
v-
Though the pain is intense, Azy stands unfaltering, wondering if he will die... The only way to find out is to return the favor....Azy bared his fangs and inserted them into vampiredust's shoulder, puncturing the precious vein that would grant him the sweet liquid of life...
azy-
The pain was intense for V. but she knew he was the one....the one who could choose to drink and choose to play....
v-
The deeds were done and both looked at each other with blood dripping off of their chins. Azy stared at v, and was on the verge of asking her, "what is it that brings you to me?", but before the words could leave his lips, an arrow flew into Azy's left leg, causing him to fall to his knee. It was a life of damnation, saught by the humans, and exiled from the vampires. The reasons for living were few, but as Azy looked up at v, he knew he would not die this day...
azy-
V.- used her magesite to see who had shot her love...."humans" she muttered.....they were still after them.....she ran towards the hunter who had shot azy and killed him.....
v-
As v ran off to claim vengeance for his wound, azy laid alone in the shadows of the trees which blocked the moon's calming light. He wondered what v meant when she called him "the one...." What did he have that she found intriqueing, besides the fact that he was a rogue and was banished from their brethren.
azy-
V looked down at her kill...she had killed this man for another vampire....was azy "the one"?
v-
Azy waited for her to come back, and it seemed as though eternity passed by. Just as azy was preparing to accept his death, v reappeared before him, new blood on her face. She had been victorious, and the humans vanquished. Before azy could hold back, he asked her,"what do you see in me? Why do you not kill me, an why are you an outkast like me?"
azy-
"I killed certain people for no reason and so the other vampires banned me...I did not kill you because I think you and me could start a new generation of vampires that wouldn't care if they killed or not..."
V-
"I see..." said azy. "you are the one they have been talking about in the taverns...I admire the world you are trying to set up, but....i am kind at heart, and defied my last master, therefore, i became a rogue myself. Me and you are complete opposites. You are a rogue because of your violence and i am a rogue because i hesitated....so if this is what your new world order entails...then i regrettingly have to stand against you..."
azy-
"But we would make a perfect team...the only reason why I was banned was because I killed a certain mortal President....but my order would be good and everyone would listen to us...don't u want world domination!?!?!"
V-
Azy stuttered. "I-I-I don't want power...i want to live a humble life as our species should. What would be the point of world takeover? There would be nothing in it for me....So i dont want it."
azy-
"Don't you want love. Power equals love and you will be loved by all with power by your side and me."
V-
"Don't confuse love and power. They are completely seperate and do not belong together. Whether or not i want love has nothing to do with my need for power. I am humble and do not require power to live...
azy-
"You could join me....I don't want to leave you here laying on the ground, slowly dieing from lack of blood that I have taken from you....think about it hard Azy....I could give you that love that you have been seeking...."
V-
Azy laughed conivingly, making v nervous. He was a pathetic sight, bite and wounded from the hunter's arrows, but still he laughed...
azy-
"Why are you laughing? Do you think my idea is funny? I do love you Azy...."
V-
Azy stopped laughing very suddenly, looking up at v. His eyes averted away from her as he spoke,"i cannot love you in return...it is my curse....it is why i hesitated...and it is the reason i must sneak back into my homeland....She is there. Waiting for me to come back to her and save her from her fate. I don't have much time and i cannot do it alone, but i must try, nonetheless..."
azy-
"You have another love?!"
V-
"Alas, it is true. We spent so much of our lives convincing ourselves it wasn't going to happen, but we broke down, and we are yet to pay the price. I mean to stop our punishment. Time may be against us, but if i have to stop time, i will find a way..."
azy-
"So my love for you is fake and it doesn't exsit in our immortal lives? So I killed a mortal to save you for no reason?"
V-
Azy feared this would ocurr, but had to tell the truth to ease his soul. "I cannot love another, 'tis true. But that is because of this affliction of many years...you must understand what makes me tick. Not the single kind act of one just met, but the courage i feel when protecting love itself. I love that you saved me, and i love that you are kindred to me, but i cry without tears when i say honestly....I cannot love you...."
Azy stood and looked towards the setting moon. "That direction is where the Castle of Thrall lies. I have heard of a spell that can stop time that Thrall himself crafted. I am on a mission to destroy Thrall and take the potion for myself. You can come along if you wish...i would enjoy your company, regardless..."
azy-
"I will come along to protect you for you are still wounded and need care."
V-
"Thank you..." said Azy as he passed out, falling to the leaf-covered ground below.
azy-
*V carried Azy to a local inn. She hid his wound from the locals so no one would suspect a biting from a vampire...Azy woke the next night confused..."
V-
"Where have you taken me?" he asked. "I need to get to Thrall, time's running out." Azy made to stand, but found that his lower half was immobilized, but not from any physical infliction..."The arrow...it was bewitched. I can't move..."
azy-
"I guess I'll have to carry you there the rest of the way....that magick is strong but not strong enough. I know someone who can cure you...I'll send him a message to tell him of the situation."
V-
Azy looked away. "I hate being weak...someone is depending on me, but i can't even help them. Normally i am incredibly strong and able, and this is new to me. You are offering to help me, and i appreciate it, but i must remind you again that it cannot lead to anything."
azy-
"I know it can't lead to anything, but I have sworn to protect you, no matter how strong you are or how weak you are in your present stage..."
V-
Azy smiled and rubbed his neck, no longer feeling the pain of the bite she had inflicted. "I don't want to know how long i was out, but i'd prefer if we kept moving. The faster i get healed, the faster we can continue the journey.
azy-
"It'll take a day or in our case a night to get there....I don't know if we'll make it in time...."
V-
"in time?" Azy realized he had not shared his schedule with v. "Is there something wrong with me?
azy-
"The magic was strong enough to kill you. I was able to get some of it out but not enough. We'll have to make haste if you want to see your love again..."
V-
Azy reached behind him, taking hold of the bed's mantle posts. Using his arm strength, he ripped the legs off of the bed. The bed fell to one side, but by that time, azy was already supporting himself with the wooden posts like crutches. "I am willing and ready to depart."
azy-
"I should give you a spell for strength so no one will suspect that you are hurt, and I'll have to bandage up your wound some more, we don't want to attract anymore vampires or werewolfs...did you know there are zombies around too? We'll have to be extra careful about them, they can smell blood..."
V-
So azy and v left the inn, traveling towards Thrall Castle. It was going to be a long journey, considering that they were forced to backtrack on account of azy's wounds. The spell was indeed powerful, but would wear off within thirteen days, upon which time, the spell would diminish and azy's pain would return double-fold, unless they could find the healing man. Still, azy insisted to visit Thrall first...
azy-
Even though azy insisted visting Thrall first, she insisted to see the healer first so even though he had made it to Thrall, azy might die.....
V-
"But Thrall's castle is only a day away!" Azy said. "we can go kick some ass, and then have time to go see your healer! I can't rest a moment untill i know that i have sealed my lover's fate..."
azy-
"Well if you want to die, fine by me! Go by yourself to Thrall...I doubt you'll make it in time...other vampires will kill you first or you'll get bit by a zombie!!! Don't come crying to me when you die!!!" V ran off toward the East where a big storm cloud was heading....
V-
Azy frowned, but did not stop her. Instead he walked towards Thrall castle, alone again, but nevertheless determined. He reached the gothic-dark gates at midnight of the same day, as azy had predicted. Azy pushed them open with a creak and trudged toward the front door. Before he could do anything, it flew open and Azy saw the humongous Thrall standing before him, frowning.
The Frown dissapeared in an instant, replaced with a smile as Thrall hugged azy like a father would hug his son, saying,"Azy!! It is so good to see you here. It's been forevor! HAHA!! what brings you out here?"
Azy paused, regaining his nerves. "I am here to pay you a long-promised visit and nothing more. I have missed you brother, and wish to stay the night before i must leave again."
"Leave?" Thrall, azy's brother asked. "so soon?
Azy gestured inside the house, "Let us go in, and i will tell you all i can..."
azy-
As azy walked toward Thralls....V wondered if she had done the right thing...She did notice the storm clouds that had suddenly appeared and thought no more of them...Then out of nowhere, Arthas appeared, blocking her way East....*home* she thought. "What do you want Arthas?"
V-
The fire in the fireplace burned green with magic as azy and Thrall sat before it. Azy stared calmly at Thrall and judged when he would make his move. As far as he could tell, Thrall was unaware of azy's plans.
"i remember when you were 5, azy," he said, caught up in memory. "you tried to read every book in my library (which is difficult, even now)! You got close, too. You honestly did. HAHA!"
"I need something from you, Thrall," azy said calmly. "I know you won't want to part with it so-"
Before azy could move, Thrall was poised at azy's neck, fire poker in hand.
"Don't think i didn't hear about your little plight, azy. I know what you want. I was tipped off by a certain female vampire you know very well. I am so dissapointed in you, azy. I loved you, but now you will have to pay for your treachery..."
azy-
"I want you V. You made filled with joy and compasion...but then you left and I turned cold...but while you were gone, I turned into you and made azy's friend hate him and now he's going to be killed and he'll blame you! HA HA HA...so much for love setting you free V....you'll never get that chance again..."
V-
Azy sighed as Thrall was poised over head. The likelehood of Azy's survival was slim, and what was more, it had to have been V that ratted him out!! Azy was filled with anger and he could see fear enter Thrall's confident face. Azy smiled and prepared the counter attack...
Azy-
"That's not true Athas...I will save Azy and kill you no matter what it takes!!!" V took out her double handed swords and cut off Arthas' arms...then ran to Thrall's castle....
