A World Behind Walls (Tokio Hotel Story)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

    Tom and I have been getting closer. Every new night, the time comes closer for when Don comes home. I have also been training with Luce, and Nichol. They are the best assassins the vampires have, they teach me a lot of things too. They are very vampire-ish even for a pare of humans.

    Something is wrong lately. Something has been very wrong. I have been having these dreams, about fire, screaming, and I can smell death all around me. I always wake up screaming. And when I do Tom comes running into my room asking what was wrong. And I would tell him, he’s been worried about me, so he decided that I talk to the king.

    But that wasn’t any help either! All he did was look at me, look at his son, then told one of his servants to call Victor and tell him that we have a problem. When Victor came over and heard what I had to say, he said that this was a problem. So he told me that I was to go with him to see Lucian.

    Lucian was our dream decipherer. You tell him what your dream is, and he’ll tell you what it means. He was a bald man, and he never opened his eyes. Hey were said to be cursed, and if you looked into them, you would be turned to stone. But that was just made up for the vampire children to scare them on Halloween.

    He live in the middle of the U.V.W he didn’t pick sides nor did he hate anyone. He was in the middle of the all sides. So there fore he was willing to help me. As we came close to his manor, it was creepy. There were dead trees everywhere. There was no sound at all, nothing. Everything was dark, and foggy and…creepy.

    “I feel like I can’t breath.” said Victor.

    “Good if one cannot breath one cannot eat.” said Louis, Louis and Victor are always teasing each other.

    “Yeah and one cannot live if one cannot breath.” I butted in. Victor laughed. And then as if I saw it all with this guys house, I was wrong. He had a cemetery in his front yard. All these headstones were getting to me, and making me dizzy from seeing the same once over and over again. Our world looks a lot like you humans, except that ours is underground, 1,ooo’s of feet below you.

    “Finally.” said Victor, “We’re here.” The limo pulled up at the front of the house and stopped.

    “His house is creepy.”    

    “You just think that everything is creepy today don’t you?” asked Victor.

    “Well, everything with this guy yeah.” he laughed. The doors were huge, and they opened before I could even get near them. Lucian walked out with his head held high. The three of us quickly looked down not wanting to look in his eyes.

    “Ahh I was expecting you. Come in, please.” His voice was so low and it cracked at certain spots, but his voice sounded like a vampire who has bee around for millions of years.  Lucian was wearing nothing but a long black silk like covering, it had a hood and went down to floor. Even when he walked you couldn’t see his feet, I was sort of glad about that. Lucian was neither vampire nor human. He was an immortal. A rear race of the very beginning vampires. If you humans can evolve into the human when you were once cave people, why can’t the vampire evolve as well?

    He led us through his manor until we were in a room that had only a table in the middle and 5 chairs, no windows, and there were candles lit everywhere, one sat in the center of the table the rest were on the floor covering the place. There was a walk way of candles so that you could walk to the table without getting burned.

    As we sat at the table I tried my hardest not to look at his eyes.

    “Don’t worry, once we get started my eyes will have to be closed so then  you guys don’t have to keep looking at the ground it must be hurting your neck.” I sat right across from him at the table. He grabbed my hands gently and smoothing out the contours of my hands.

    “You have a long life line, thou not as long as mine, you will die one day, but how you do is not found out yet.  Your love line is crossed. You have to choose between two lovers you currently have. I see you have been disturbed with a dream, though I kind of already guessed that, why would you be here then?” He laughed.

    “Okay tell me your dream then? Wait better yet, give me your blood I will be able to see it better.” he passed me a cup and a knife. I raised my hand over the cup, put the knife to my wrist and dragged the sharp blade down. The pain at first hurt, but then I felt nothing. I watched the blood drip into the cup like a river.

    When the cup was full I licked the wound and watched as the cut seeped together and healed in a matter of seconds. I passed the cup back to Lucian and he drank from it. His eyes closed as he saw the memories.

    “Yes yes disturbing indeed. I see fire, I can smell the death of other vampires, screaming as more die. I can see you, Lori you are standing in the middle of the room, unharmed, but still there is great power radiating off of you, like nothing I have ever seen before. You are walking down a hallway, it seems like it will never end, and when you open the door you see Adrian, and King Antonio Banderas, I cannot tell if they are dead or not. I also see a red headed human. Luce her name is from your memories, she is one of your assigns. And then-” he stopped.

     “That is all, the memories stop after that. You really have no idea how powerful you are do you? You have the ability to give life and take t away. But spirit is not herd of in the vampire world so I have nothing to tell you about it, I can say that from the destruction you are very powerful you and your brother together could set our world on fire. If you both mix your blood, you will both become something that vampires have never seen before, something so powerful that no one can stop you at all. I can see that.”

The next night Lori told Tom what Lucian had said.

    “I just don’t get it.”  He said. “How can us vampires not know what Spirit is? I mean I have been looking it up but nothing is there.” he was pacing back and forth again. And I was getting tired of looking at him.

    “Tom come here.” I told him, he came over slowly like a little boy who knew that he was in trouble. He sat down next to me on his bed, and then laid down. “I’m with you on this one I don’t know anything either.” I laid down next to him moving my body until it was against his. His arm came around and held me closer to him.

    I don’t know how it happened, but I was just falling asleep when I felt Tom’s lips connect to mine. My eyes flew open to see his eyes closed. His eyelids were a paler color compared to the rest of his body. But I soon found myself lost in his kiss, closing my eyes I could feel everything that Tom felt. The way he loved the feeling of my lips on his, the way I mead his head feel like it was underwater. And how his heart felt like it would start beating again.

And I loved the feeling of him. Slowly Tom’s kisses went from my lips to my neck, he loved the smell that I had. He gently took off the jacket that I was still wearing, and me in return took off his too big shirt. Sooner or later everything was in a messy pile on the floor. But I didn’t care I was the most happiest girl in the world. Well at the time I was.

Later that night Tom and I were laying down next to each other on his bed, wrapped up in his warm blankets. His arms were wrapped around me.

   “So how was it?” he asked.

I laughed. “Really Tom your going to ask how was it? That is so human.” He laughed with me.

   “Well I could just go see Jen and ask her what she though of me.”

    “Oh your awful!” I screamed.

    “Ha ah, so the truth comes out.” he told me. Tom gently took my face in his hands and kissed me.

    At the time I didn’t want to admit it to myself. I had myself thinking that I was in love with Don, but slowly I was falling, and I was falling hard for Tom. And when it was time for me to hit the ground I was afraid that there would be no one there to catch me.
