The Nightwalker. -Complete-

Chapter 9.

When Darien wakes up Lenari is already grabbing their stuff. Everything is already in the bag. When she notices that Darien is awake she smiles at him, and waves a little.

He jawns before waving back. He gets out of the bed and they both walk to the car again. Lenari winks at the guy behind the counter, who gets red immediatly.

She smirks and they get into the car. "We will find Kelone today." She says when they start driving. "Are you sure?" Darien asks.

She turns her head to him. "Why would I say it, if I wasn't serious?" She turns her head back.

"Hey, Lenari?"

"Hmm."

"Why do you have that red spot in your right eye?"

Lenari starts looking sad all of the sudden. She shakes her head a little. "I...I guess you will find out soon enough." She answers.

She is fighting away tears and grips the steering wheel tighter. "I'm sorry for asking." Darien says. Lenari shakes her head again.

"You... You couldn't know." There is an awkward silence between the two. Darien tries to think about some things to discuss but ends up with nothing.

He starts looking at Lenari. She is beautifull. She is probably the most beautiful girl Darien has ever seen. Everything is just perfect.

Her bright green eyes on her beautiful pale skin. Her nose, her mouth even her jaw line. Everything seems perfect.

And still this girl is sad. If you would look at her you'd think she had it all. That she would never be sad. But still, that beautiful girl is fighting away the tears at this exact moment.

Darien puts his left hand on her leg. "You don't have to keep your tears in. I won't judge you if you'd cry. Maybe crying is the right thing now. Just... Letting it go."

Lenari looks at the hand on her leg before parking the car at the side of the road. She puts her hands in front of her eyes before she starts crying and sobbing.

Darien puts his hands around her. "It's okay. Just let it go." He whispers in her ear. She puts her hands around him too and starts sobbing in his chest.

They sit like that for a few minutes. Lenari, crying her eyes out and Darien, whispering little things in her ear. She stops crying but doens't pull back from the hug.

Darien smiles a little. Lenari gets her hands away from him and he does the same. "Thank you Darien." Is all she says.

Hey eyes are red and puffy. A little smile is on her face. She grabs his hand. "You are an amazing friend."

Darien's smile fades. He doesn't know why, but those words hurt him. They would be amazing words, if it wasn't Lenari who had said them.

And at that moment he know why he choose her. Why he didn't want any other vampire. He looks in her eyes. The puffy, but happy eyes.

"You love him, don't you?" Lenari closes her eyes. Darien squeezes her hand. "Do you?" He asks again. Lenari looks at their hands.

"Yes, I do."

Darien gets his hand out of Lenari's. He liked her being around her, not so there was someone for him when his parents were gone again.

But because he fell in love the instant he saw her face.

***

After driving in silence for another few hours, Lenari stops at a little house. "He's here." She says before getting out.

Darien follows her as she knocks on the door. A man opens the door. He is muscular and wears a shirt that shows off his abs. His blonde hair is short and two blue - almost purple- eyes look at Lenari.

"Lennie?" He asks. She nods. They hug each other and then he guy turns to me. "And you are?" He raises his right eyebrow when he says this.

Darien looks at Lenari, who just nods in encouragment. "Darien." He says. The man smells the air before turning to Lenari.

"What are you doing with a human?" He asks. She just smirks. "I thought you said you would never sniff the air, because you'd feel like a dog."

He sighs. "Len..."

"Let's discuss this inside." She says before walking into the house. They walk into a dark corridor and the man walks into one of the many doors.

Lenari walks in after him and Darien just follows the two. He walks into the room and the two are sitting on a large brown couch. The room looks like a living room.

Darien sits down on a chair next to the windows. "So, what is the kid doing here?" The man asks. "Where are your manners, Kel?" Lenari asks. The man sighs again.

"Really, Len? Really?" He asks the vampire. She just nods with a smile on her face. "Hey, Dorian, right?"

"Darien." He corrects.

"Darien then..." The man continues. "I am Kelone."

"Nice to meet you." Darien says. Lenari smiles and nods approvingly. "Likewise, okay what is he doing here?"

"Didn't want to travel alone, and he can be a really good help." She says this while looking in Darien's eyes. The smile still on her face.

Kelone squints at the girl before turning standing up. "Want something to drink?" He asks while leaving the room. "Yes!" Lenari shouts after him.

Darien, who is quiet thirsty, wants to shout yes too, but stops himself when he hears the next sentence from Kelone.

"A positive?"

"As always." Lenari shouts back. They are talking about blood. "Where is the bag?" Darien asks. "In the car, you can get it if you want." She replies while throwing the car keys to him.

He walks out and Kelone hurries back. "Okay, why is he really here?" He asks.

"So his parents won't stop me... But let's get to the point here." Lenari says. She stands up and grabs his shoulders.

"I want to find Alucard, and you know exactly where he is. So you better tell me or I'll drink your blood for answers."
