It was two in the morning, Leon was sitting in the living room. He was holding his hands together, trying to get them to stop shaking. He couldn't sleep, not today. "Need some help?" Krag asked, standing in the doorway.
Leon shook his head. "It's the 20th." he said soberly.
Krag nodded his head, "A wolf with sheep's clothing told me the past doesn't matter." he said looking down at Leon.
"It shouldn't, but the rules change for the damned." Leon informed looking out the window at the city.
"Indeed they do, four o' clock right?" Krag asked Leon.
"Four o' clock." Leon confirmed, calming down and trying to relax.
(TRANSITION BLAH BLAH BLAH ANIME REFERENCE)
Rainbow woke up from a strange dream but forgot what it was about. She looked around and noticed Leon wasn't in his typical place beside her. She got dressed and went into the kitchen, he wasn't there. She was starting to get worried but then she heard a noise coming from the living room. She walked into the room and saw Leon standing there with a picture in his hand. He noticed Rainbow and put the picture into his pocket, and smiled at her, when Krag ran into the room. "Another pulse was detected, I know what today means to you but I thought you should know." He said in a cool monotone voice.
"Thanks, where did it occur?" Leon asked.
"The grave." Krag asked looking down at his feet.
Leon checked over his shoulder quickly "I guess I would've ended up going there later, come on." he stood up and went into one of the many rooms this mansion in the sky had.
Krag motioned for Rainbow to follow as he walked after Leon. The room they entered was bright, an assortment of gadgets lined the walls. "How many came out of the pulse?" he asked Krag.
"Five." he said.
Leon grabbed five white cylinders, and started to reach for a gun but stopped himself. He turned around and motioned for the group to follow with a flick of his head. They made there way to an elevator and took it to the roof. The first thing dash noticed was a vehicle she's never seen before, the next was how cloudy it was, and the third was the giant smile that grew on Leon's face. She wondered what made him so happy, then she looked at the direction that he was looking and saw a girl about her own age, her skin was extremely pale and her hair was so blond it was almost white. Her hair was tide back in a ponytail with her bangs cut uneven so that they curved down and covered the left side of her face. Rainbow then noticed the girls eye's, they were extremely red and were glowing, not seeming to glow like Leon's, but actually glowing. "I missed you so much!" she said with a light voice that almost matched that of fluttershy, and had a accent that sounded like a cross between Russian and Swedish.
She ran up to Leon and wrapped her arms around him, Leon did the same "How was your trip?" Leon asked.
"The colony is so massive, and their was so much to do. I found it hard to believe that it only took two years for it to be built." she said backing away from Leon slightly "But that is beside the point, who's your new friend." she asked innocently, looking over to a confused Rainbow Dash.
"She's my uhh..." he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Girlfriend." The strange girl said happily "I'm so happy for you!" she clapped her hands together and stepped over to Rainbow.
"How did you..." Rainbow started to ask but was cut off by the girl.
"Know... I smelled you all over him." she said matter o' factly, pointing over her shoulder with her thumb at Leon.
Rainbow didn't know what to think of the new girl, she seemed close to Leon and was definitely not shy, even though she spoke with a soft voice. "Hello, I'm Anastasiya, but you can call me Anna." she said holding out a hand for Dash to shake.
Dash shook the girls hand "Uh, hello I'm Dash... um..." she was looking for something to ask but their were to many questions.
Anna saw the confused expression plastered on Rainbows face. She looked over her shoulder at Leon "You didn't tell her about me?" she asked mocking up a fake look of hurt.
Leon shook his head "It never came up." he said.
Anna turned back to Rainbow "You must be really confused. Let's see, where should I start..." she said tapping the side of her head "Well I'm his sister." she explained as she motioned toward Leon, "Not genetically though, he found me during the war in the middle of a mothership crash site. I was five at the time, and he was ten." she informed "I don't remember anything before that day, anyway he took care of me when we were growing up. We did almost every thing together, when we where found by some soldiers they assumed we were siblings, and we might as well have been... As for my appearance, I'm a vampire." she said giving a smirk that matched that of Leon's.
Rainbow was caught off guard by... well all of it really, but mostly the last part. "Vampire, I thought that those were a myth..." she thought Anna was pulling her leg.
"Well you see." Krag started. "We were testing what are illnesses did to humans, and well, apparently are equivalent of the common cold severely mutates the DNA of humans without killing them, turning them into the Vampire heard about so often in human lore." he explained forth right with a small tinge of guilt in his voice.
"So your a vampire, I suppose I've seen crazier things. Wait, so why aren't you a pile of ash right now, no offense. I mean the suns out?" Rainbow's curiosity took over.
"There are a lot of differences between me and the classic vampire, for one example I can go out in the sunlight, though It feels terrible, second thing is I can't turn into a bat." Anna explained.
"What about immortality, super strength, sucking blood, garlic, and wooden stakes." Rainbows brain was pumping out more and more questions.
"Slow down, you'll get a headache, I am immortal, I'm not super strong but my muscles don't get tired, I love blood and can't live without it, I'm just fine around garlic, and anyone would get killed if they were stabbed with a wooden stake through their heart." she answered, "But who cares about that stuff, your dating my little kitty. How serious is it, are you living with him?" she returned her own questions.
"Uh... I am living with him, but um, why'd you call him your little kitty?" Rainbow had to know.
"His name is Leon, It has Leo in it, and Leo is the sign of the lion, and a lion is just a big kitty, just like Leon." she explained, giggling. Regaining her composure she addressed Rainbow once again "You said you're living with him?" she asked.
"Yeah." Rainbow said.
"Oh, this is going to be fun!" she gave a little squee, she then proceeded to hug Rainbow "This is so exciting, me and Leon still live together, you see when people find out that their dealing with a vampire they automatically think I'm going to suck their blood, so trying to rent a house is nearly impossible, and I can't really hold a job, so I a can't afford to buy a house." she explained, "Oh, I've always wanted a sister."
Rainbow was cool with having a vampire live with her but the last thing she said made Rainbow ask her self a difficult question 'Was her relationship with Leon that serious?' 'Why not, I love Leon and now I get a badass vampire as a sister, when I get home scootaloo is going to freak.' she thought, with a muffled giggle.
"Okay, now that introductions are done with we gotta go pick some people up. Anna you should take us there, besides it's at her grave and we should pay our respects." Leon said returning to his gloomy state that he was in earlier.
"Sure, It's been a while." Anna said in a much darker tone, taking out some key's from her Hoody pocket.
(TRANSITION OF... OH LOOK SOMETHING SHINY)
They were in the vehicle from earlier, it was massive and it flew. Anna set it on auto pilot and walked into the main room of the Airship. "Hey can you grab me a can?" she asked Leon.
Leon grabbed an unmarked can from a cooler that was hidden in the wall, he opened it and took a sip before handing it to Anna. Anna chugged half of it before setting it down on a table in the center of the room. The room resembled a contemporary ball room, except the furniture was bolted to the ground. "Watcha drinking?" Dash asked.
"Carbonated Hemoglucose" she said nonchalantly "Want some?" she asked holding the can out for rainbow.
"I guess." she responded.
Rainbow was about to take a sip when Krag said "You should no that 'Carbonated Hemoglucose' is just fancy talk for fizzy blood with lots of sugar."
Rainbow already had an ounce of the liquid in her mouth when Krag finished. She was about to spit it out but, it didn't taste half bad. It was extremely sweet and left an irony after taste that she didn't really mind, but it was the thought that she just drank blood that messed with her. She gave the can back to Anna "Um... not bad." she squeaked out trying hard to not like the taste of the blood.
Anna giggled seeing the expression on Dash's face. "Don't worry, the drink is mostly sugar and water, and the blood part is from a donor. Nothing died making the stuff." trying to reassure Dash that she didn't do anything taboo.
"Not cool." Dash said after she chugged a glass of water Krag had offered her.
"She's a vegetarian." Leon told Anna.
"Okay, and I thought cooking for you was hard enough." Anna joked. "Anyway, why are we Headed to the grave so early?" she asked.
Leon then went on to describe exactly what was going on for the past month or so. Anna sat back and looked up "And I thought that the fact that I am a vampire was crazy enough." she then started to giggle. "This is awesome." she said.
Then with a jerk the ship landed, The group walked out and found five girls laying in the sand, along with a small group of soldiers headed toward them from the opposite direction.
Dream 2: Dream harder.
AUTHORS NOTES: due to the fact that my arm is still almost unusable I could not make a video of myself or at least a good one, but who cares about what I look like right? I'm just your typical German/Swede that lives in the center of the U.S. This chapter was a bitch to write I'm sorry it took forever, and I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise of explaining why Rainbow was so calm about jumping dimensions, but I couldn't resist the opportunity for a cliffhanger. Good news though, the next chapter won't take nearly as long. Ciao.
P.S. sorry for the lack of music but there wasn't really a need for the song I was going to use, but here it is if you wanna check it Out
