The only thing that ran through my mind at the
time of the battle was Billie Joe. How I was worried about him, how
I hoped I didn't see him here, how I hoped he was fighting against
us today. For his sake, and for my own. We were all vampires and it
just so happened that our two kingdoms were at war with each other.
I was part of the Elemental kingdom which is pretty much where all
the vampires who control all the elements live at and Billie Joe
was part of the Shape shifter kingdom, where all the vampires who
could change into pretty much anything live. We had lived
peacefully for so many years, actually since the beginning of time.
Even when I first was turned into a vampire…they were still
at peace. It was ten years ago though when this whole thing
started. I wasn't sure why but the rumors were that it was because
of the king my kingdom was tired of having to get along with the
Shape shifters. When the first news of the war began Billie Joe and
I had been devastated. We didn't know what to do…all these
things would mean we wouldn't be able to see each other again
unless it was in secret and God knew how difficult that was
considering how advanced the security would be. I haven't seen him
except occasionally when we could we would go outside the
perimeters of our kingdoms into what we called 'the human world'.
Last time I saw him was a week ago. I had missed him so much
because before that I hadn't seen him in like a month. We talked
about how we were both forced to join the cause and how we both
shared a common fear about it. I looked over to my right and saw
the captain glaring at me.

"What are you doing standing there lieutenant?
Day dreaming again huh? Well we have no time for that GO AND JOIN
THE OTHERS THEY ARE IN NEED OF YOUR HELP!" he yelled at me and I
held back a sigh.

"Yes sir." I muttered and ran toward where the
others were. This battle had already started a while ago and I
hadn't done much. Sure I killed about three or four of the
'enemies' with my ability to use lightning. I can use all the
elements pretty much, but the one that can really kill the other
vampires is fire or in my case since I am better at fire than the
others I can use lightning. Which, yes it still takes a while for
them to die depending on how much voltage I use but it's a lot more
painful than the fire. The others were already standing there
fighting off the shape shifters who kept changing back and forth
into animals or into their normal uniformed human selves. It threw
the others off guard a bit so I had to come over and shoot the
'enemies' with a few lightning blasts. They instantly all crumpled
to the floor, with the remnants of the lightning still around them.
The soldiers from my kingdom looked over at me and smiled.

"Thanks lieutenant." One of them said and I just
nodded to them and fled to the other areas to where they needed
help fending them off. Not everyone had the ability of lightning so
at times it would be difficult for the ones better in the other
elements to kill them. Suddenly some of my soldiers started falling
down around me, there was something, or rather someone using their
speed to their advantage and as I looked around it looked like they
all got stabbed with the only thing that could kill
us….silver. I started shooting sparks of lightning in random
places trying to catch whoever it was. They weren't going to escape
me this time. Sure it hurt me a bit to kill those of the other
race, but it hurt me even more to see my own kind get killed. I had
been trained for many years to take down the others and being as I
was a lieutenant it was my duty to make sure the threats were
eliminated. My shots of lightning didn't do anything and soon I
thought I was alone. All the soldiers from my kingdom in this area
were dead and for some reason that made me angry. I stopped
shooting the random blasts of lighting and groaned.

"SHOW YOURSELF! You know you can't hide
forever." I yelled and that's when I saw it. One lone bird was
perched up in one of the many trees in this forest. It was one of
your common brown birds and it was just there, acting as if it were
looking around. Normal birds were afraid of us vampires so this
couldn't be your typical bird you saw on any street. I smirked to
myself and quickly shot lightning at it but when I looked back at
it the only thing on fire now was the tree. The limb where the bird
had been clinging to quickly got consumed by the flames and fell on
the grassy floor. There wasn't any dead bird there. So where the
hell had it gone? I turned around and saw it again. This time it
was perched on another tree. I frowned and tried another attempt to
kill it. It didn't work and this time, before I could find it I
heard someone drop onto the floor. I turned quickly in that
direction and saw someone in the blue uniform of the shape shifter
kingdom. No….I thought to myself as I saw him stand up from
where he had fallen. He had probably jumped off the tree. He was
that bird. He dusted his uniform off and looked up at me. That
familiar face…those green eyes it was really him.

"Billie Joe…" I said and he looked down
at me, a sad expression on his face.

"Lieutenant." He said as in greeting and looked
over as a couple of soldiers ran off in another direction. When he
was sure they were out of hearing distance he came up closer to me.
"Vivian….I missed you so much."

"I missed you too. But gosh…" I ran a
hand through my hair. "I was hoping I didn't see you…I
really didn't because I just…I love you too much. I can't
follow my duties when you are around I…they would find us
and everything."

"I know I was hoping I wouldn't see you
either…I love you just the same which is why you must run
away from me now Vivian. Leave when you still can."

"Why though?"

"They…they made me a lieutenant
too…and they sent me to kill you specifically. If they see
us here they will be expecting me to kill you." He murmured and
looked away from me.

"I…I'm supposed to kill of any of our
enemies on sight but I would never do that to you."

"And you think I want to kill you? Of course
not. Just please leave."

"I can't leave you here alone they might kill
you too."

"As long as I don't bump into your captain I
think I'll be fine Vivian just listen to me."
"I still…Billie Joe…"

"I know. I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"I just am." He said, suddenly appeared in front
of me. He pulled me in for a huge embrace and a very passionate
kiss. "I'm sorry for everything…sorry for turning you into a
vampire. I never knew you would become an elemental if I only knew
before hand I should of let you be a human."

"But no one can tell that Billie. It's okay. We
lived a happy life together so far and hopefully maybe this war
ends and we can get on with our existence."

"Yes…that's what I've always wanted for
us. Why I created you…" I felt him patting my hair. "But
now…" I thought I heard someone coming and that's when
suddenly I felt the sharp burning pain in my stomach. I looked up
at him with wide eyes and noticed that tears were slowly rolling
down his cheeks. "I'm sorry…my child…my love…"
he murmured. His green eyes looking sadder than I've ever seen
them. His lips quivering just the tiniest bit. Then I looked down
at myself and noticed what had just happened. He…he had
stabbed me with a silver stake. The only thing that could kill a
vampire of my race. It didn't even need to be in the heart. In the
heart meant instant death but anywhere else it was slower and more
painful. It would take a few minutes for the silver to fully make
it's effect throughout my body. He pulled back from my and one of
my hands suddenly flew to the wound. My hands got covered in the
blood that was now pouring out. I looked down at it and the most
random thought came across my mind. I actually liked the way my
blood sort of matched with my black and wine red uniform. I
suddenly collapsed on the floor. The burning pain of the wound
taking over me. Billie walked up to me slowly and crouched down on
the floor next to me. He was still crying. His hands brushed away
the hair from my face softly and I clutched onto the bleeding wound
in my stomach.

"Billie Joe…"

"I'd rather have myself kill you than have
anyone else's hands stained with your blood…I told you to
run when you can…you are making me suffer just seeing you in
pain like this." he turned away and I placed a hand on his cheek,
wincing at the pain.

"No don't. You did the right thing." I smiled as
best I could but it ended up becoming more of a grimace. "I would
of done the same thing but you beat me to it."

"But you still can."

"What?" I asked as he pulled my hand and placed
it over his heart. His green eyes seriously looking at me.

"Do it, shock me with your lightning as high a
voltage as you can…just enough to kill me…and enough
to let me spend my last moments with you."

"But I can't…" I said, feeling my eyes
start to water with tears. "I would never be able to do that to
you…Billie Joe you must keep on living without me."

"I can't! I can't live without you here! I need
you…you are the only person who's kept me alive all these
years…who got me to feel love again. You must do it."

"Billie Joe you are my master…I cannot
you created me."

"And for that same reason you are indebted to
me…to repay that debt…do this and kill me!" He hissed
through his teeth, tears continued to flow down his cheeks as his
grew tighter on mine. I was starting to feel strangely light headed
now too. "Do it!" he yelled and with that I mustered all the
strength I could and shocked him. He cried out in pain and his grip
on my hand loosened as he fell onto the floor next to me. His face
was contorted from what had just happened and he looked paler than
usual. His longish dark hair covered a bit of his face.

"Billie Joe…." I cried and he kissed my
hand as best he could.

"Don't cry…" he gasped out. "I'm
fine."

"No you are not. I hurt you and now you are
gunna die." I said and clutched more at my wound. The burning pain
was starting to get out of control now.

"So are you…think of it….as in a
positive view my child now we can always be together without any
war stopping us." He groaned and shut his eyes tightly.

"You are right…Billie?"

"Yes?"

"I don't think…I can go on much
longer….the pain is too much. I feel it spreading even
more…I barely even have the strength to talk…"

"It's okay…I'm almost gone too
just…if only we had more time I could tell you everything I
always wanted to…"

"I know but…I think saying 'I love you'
would be enough to cover that don't you think?"

"Okay then before we both fall into the hands of
the real death…I love you Vivian…with all of what's
left of my not beating heart."

I felt my eyes slowly start closing and I
managed to pull off a smile for him. "I love you too…Billie
Joe." He passed out dead next to me soon after that and I too let
myself get consumed me the eternal darkness called Death.
