The Coming of the Queen

CHAPTER 6 – MY IMMORTAL

She sat as she usually did on the top step near the opened wing angel, listening to her music, just lay there with her eyes closed. Lost on her own mind.

Not far away…

“What?!” The man said looking at his friend who’s sniffing the night air…

“She’s near…”

“Who Chupa, the girl…?”

“Yes!”

“I though you said you were going to stay away…”

“I can’t Danz…since the night at the club, a week ago… I haven’t seen her, or gone to her apartment balcony as I did that night… but her sight and sent haunt me!”

“She’s human Chupa, let it rest… you don’t want any more problems do you?”

“Don’t worry about me Danz, I’ve been around for more then 100 years, I think I can take care of myself.” Chupa said moving along, tracking her sent. Danz followed him. He moved through the shadows of the park faster as her sent grew stronger. Suddenly he turned his face, still hiding in the shadows, and saw her dancing to the sound of the music in her headphones; his jaw dropped wide as so did Danz’s. She looked like an angel, holding on to the wings of the statue… and she was singing, very low tone, but he could hear her words with his vampire hearing:

“ I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along” …

“My Immortal…” Chupa mumbled and felt a sudden warmth fill him up inside. She was more then beautiful, her hair was loose today, that black curly hair was long under her waistline, her eyes were shining as she sang and danced, if he didn’t know better and if Danz weren’t there he would have thought he was hallucinating.
“Jesus man! I don’t think there’s any possibility of you resisting that sight! I know I wouldn’t!!”

Chupa didn’t speak or move for that matter. He just stood there as she sat down and kept reading. He just blew a kiss in the wind at her.
Ang grabbed the book to resume her reading and suddenly felt a warm breeze over her face, breathed in deeply and gasped as it touched her face and encircled her body. It was the same sensation as before, she found herself getting up on her feet and opening her arms wide to the sky feeling the breeze surrounding her whole self.

“That must have been the sexiest vision I have had in years bro!” Danz tapped Chupa in the shoulder. “If you like her you have to protect her, there is something about her that drags a person straight into her aura, others will feel it, if they see her… and they’re not the good guys…you know what I mean!”

Chupa looked back to his friend “You are right, but she already has my mark, that will protect her!”

Ang sighed deep as if wanting to suck all the air around her, and looked around to the shadowed areas of the park, piercing her eyes through the darkness around her, closing them almost shut to adapt to the dark surroundings; she looked straight to where they were standing.

“Shit” They hissed hovering over the ground farther back into darkness away from her sight.

“How the hell? Do you think she can see that well in the dark?”

“No, I don’t think so Danz, even if she did, we moved fast… I think she senses presences… but she didn’t see us!”

“Good…lets go, this visions made me hungry.” Chupa looked at him with a nasty grin. “You too... hum bro!” and smiled.

Ang looked away from the dark, and smiled unconsciously, and went back to her book.

“Where was I?… right... Jesse, the human in love with vampires… hum, a lot like me Jess! Lestat and Jesse… she wants to join him but he’s scared to shows her the hunt… something is missing! I must have skipped something in the book” she said as she flipped some pages back…“Ha ... here it is… why Marius left Lestat… Lestat found the stone statues of King and Queen of vampires... Ha! This is new, didn’t know there was such a thing!” Ang said reading through “The Queen called on him due to his will to rule the earth and to be seen and known by humans… she used to rule in the old Egypt feeding at will, killing at will… no respect for the human kind…” She was so absorbed by her reading she didn’t even see or sense two shadows moving in the park. “He fed on her!!” She said out loud… and suddenly her mind was struck by a vision…

“Haaaaaaaa…” She screamed in pain dropping the book, which fell two steps down, she crushed her body into the angel statue in pain.

VISION

Blood… lots of blood… pain… unbearable pain… human being slices, the sight of the Queen, killing all around her… so many deaths… so much blood… her evil face…her evil presence, she was seeing what Lestat saw when he fed, river Nile filled with blood … dead bodies everywhere….

She kept screaming and spasms of pain made her body jolt all over.
Not far away from her…

“What?!” Chupa stopped at his track.

“Something’s wrong Danz…” Chupas eyes were fiery blue, and his fangs grew with the sense of danger.

“The girl…?”

“Yes!” Chupa hissed flying off with Danz right behind him.

They got to the park, the image of her screaming in pain haunted his heart if he still had one, and he looked around and saw the two shadows moving in on her… fellow vampires!!
Chupa landed next to the steps surrounded by the dark shadows of the trees in the park and took his hand up to the two other vampires hissing menacingly.

“NO” boomed out of his throat “Leave!” The two shadows made a hissing sound and retreated. Danz looked at Chupa he was just standing there, looking at her trying to find out what was wrong with her. They didn’t touch her so what was wrong with her?
Ang. Bounced back to the statue once again and screamed.

“No, no… Akasha…” She whispered “STOOOOOOOOOPPPPP!” she cried and fell on her hands and knees breathing heavily, tears rolled down her face. She looked up at the shadow near her and screamed again backing off to the statue as if for protection.

“Easy… Easy… are you ok?” Chupa kept himself in the shadow, he was still trying to control his eyes and fangs back to normal. His jaw dropped as open as Danz’s that was standing back in the trees. She had tears of blood on her cheek.

“Are you ok? You have… it looks like blood on you face!” he said getting closer, his face was becoming normal. But he was still back in the shadows. The sight and sent of the blood teardrops made him edgy.

“What?!” She said cleaning her face looking down at her hand, it was smeared red. “Shit!”

“She cried blood Bro, or am I hallucinating!?” Danz sent to Chupa’s mind.

“You saw the same I did … I don’t get it!” Chupa sent back to Danz

“Are you ok? You were screaming …and I was walking in the park and heard you…!” She tried looking up from her hands, trying to see the face of the man standing in the shadows, she should be afraid, she didn’t know who he was and it could be a maniac for that matter, but she felt safe.

“Hum, I think I’m ok, I don’t see blood anywhere else! I was just having…” She paused rubbing her hair “Hu… a bad dream!” She said

“But you were awake!” He said moving closer. Ang looked up at him, she could see his features now, big… no, huge, dark blood, beautiful smile, wearing black leather pants, a black v-neck t-shirt and a long black leather coat. Chupa got closer as he was drawn to her, he didn’t want to get closer but his body wasn’t responding very well. Ang opened her eyes as wide as her smile. Chupa gasped at her smile like if he was hypnotised.

“Err… do you mind stepping out of the dark? I see fairly well in the dark, but I’d like to take a better look at the face of the knight that came to rescue a lady in distress!” She said softly smiling wider.

“Dawg you are doomed!!” Danz sent to Chupa

“Fucking doomed …” Chupa sent back to his friend, and stepped into the light getting near her. Her eyes opened wide to the site of his face, the most beautiful blue eyes she’d ever seen, she felt herself tingling all over.

“You? I know you!” these were the only words out of her mouth as she got up to look him up closer.

“Hum?” Chupa looked at her confused and hypnotised.

“Yes, you’re the guy I bumped into outside my… I mean… the public library… a couple of weeks ago!”

“She remembers me…!” Chupa thought amazed, that warm feeling filled him up again and he felt a thump in his chest like if his heart started beating again after an almost 100 years sleep.

“Yah… you have a good memory!”

“So… what do I call my saviour?” She said shyly regaining her senses.

“Hun? Oh… err… I’m Vince, but everyone calls me Chupa!”

“Ok Vince, would you like to sit down here next to my dear friends, Azrael and Michael?” she said pointing at the statues “At least that’s what I call them!”

“You like angels?” Chupa asked sitting down two steps down from her.

“Yah… I’m a freak for the so called mythical stuff, like angels, vampires, werewolf…” Chupa’s eyes opened wide as Danz’s that stayed in the shadows like if guarding his friend’s back.

“Vampires?” Chupa managed to ask.

“Yah… they intrigue me, I was reading…” suddenly she stopped, her face turned white as paper.

“What’s wrong?? Are you felling pain again?”

She looked up at him, she didn’t want to tell him, but the words just flew off her mouth, she couldn’t control them.

“No… I was reading a book about a Vampire Lestat and had a horrible vision…” She couldn’t believe she had said that.

“Vampire Lestat? A book on him?” Chupa was intrigued, he had heard that name, he didn’t know him, or what happen to him, he had chosen to sleep when Lestat shook the vampire nation… something about going public and when he woke up he thanked god for being asleep through out that messy episode. He never questioned anyone about it. Something’s are better left unstirred.

“Yah… I found it on the library where I work…funny I do not have any record on it’s entry, but it was there and I’m a vampire-book worm ...so I brought it home and started reading it.”

“What kind of a vision?” This was getting weird and he had to know what was going on. Ang got up and looked around searching for the book. Chupa couldn’t take his eyes of her. She was sensing his eyes on her and couldn’t help to shiver, something about him made her melt down inside.

“What are you looking for?” He said getting up to help her.

“The book, must be down here on the floor, Jesus I jumped so hard in pain that I threw it away… here it is!” She found it 3 steps away under a pitch-black shadow of a tree.

“Damn, she can really see well in the darkness of the park!” Chupa thought.

“Can I see it?” Chupa asked insecure

“Sure... do you like vampires too?” She asked smiling. Chupa looked at her “Jesus this smile is going to haunt my dreams!” He though.

“You can say that! Yah… I do!” he said. She handed him the book. He was as surprised as he could be.

“What…?” She said getting closer. Her sent was so strong and still full of adrenalin that Chupa jolted aside as her sent invaded his nostrils without warning. “Hey …are you ok?” She said looking up at him but he was like in a trance. Chupa shook his head strongly regaining his senses and looked at her.

“I’m fine!” He smiled at her. A shadow moved in the dark, Chupa was so involved in his thoughts and her beauty, he didn’t even sensed it, or sense Danz warning him. “Where did you get this?” He said calmly looking down at her with a beautiful wide spread smile on his lips.

“I told you ...it was in the library!” she said so slowly, it looked like she was in a trance too, just by looking at his eyes “Jesus you are something...” She thought, biting her lower lip, her breath had passed up a bit. She recognised his sent, it was so familiar, but, from where?
