Unwanted Desire-Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8

Remus: *he Floo-ed thru Diagon Alley and ran and ran until he could run no more. Before he knew it, he was already at the deserted area of the district, looking much more desolate than Knockturn Alley*

Remus didn't know he was in the Vampire part of town. It was dark and cold. There was a pub over to left and club with music blaring to the lright of him.

Remus: *hears the music n was overwhelmed, especially with his canine acute sense of hearing. Deciding tht the pub was quieter, he went to the left. He needed a strong drink anyway*

Little would he know that he was the strong drink. The pub was full of vampires and their 'drinks.'

Remus: *cluelessly entered, a little bit aware of the ppl in their pale looks n dark gothic dressing staring at him, bt tries to act casual as he came up to the bar counter* Whiskey pls, make it a double

The bartener nodded and made the drink for him before moving away to serve two women a red drink.

"Hey, I never seen you in here? Are you need?" A man sat down on one side of him.

Remus: *a little nervous bt decided to act casual* Y...Yeah, I've...nvr reli been to these parts before *chuckles awkwardly*

"Really? You like the time that gets around." He ran his hand up Remus' arm.

Remus: *feels his hand n shrank bk* S...Sorry. I'm...I'm taken *though it was a little far frm the truth*

"Don't worry, honey. I don't bit.." he smirked. "Too hard." He smiled brightly to show off a pair of fangs.

Remus: *saw the fangs n knew he had totally came to the wrong plc. He had entered the Vampire Territory, a Red District tht was off-limits evn frm the highest of officials of the Ministry. Survival instincts kicking, he quickly got off his seat n warily made his way to the door*

The reached for Remus and grabbed his wrist. "Who said you could leave, honey." He flashed red eyes.

Remus: I...I...I have to go *pulls away* I...came to the wrong plc aftr all *backed away as he looked frantically at the attention he was getting*

"You want to go. Sure, we can go to my house." He grabbed Remus and pulled him outside the pub.

Remus: No, no! L...Let go of me...! No..! Help! *evn though it was pointless for him, he had to get help frm someone, anyone as he was pulled by the vampire*

A dark figure came out of the shadows "Let the man go." the dark figure told the other.

"I saw him first." He hissed.

Remus: *couldnt reli see clearly because of the shadows, n the alcohol he had just sipped was blurring out his night vision, bt he couldnt help feeling the voice of the dark figure was rather...enticing*

Marcus stepped out fully. His long blond hair was tied behind him and his black cloak was flowing in the dark.

"Oh Marcus. I didn't know it was you." The other vamp ran away at top speed bit more looked like blur.

Remus: *felt his grabbed arm released quickly n found himself staring up at the blonde, his breath almost taken away as he towered ovr him, so much taller than Sirius himself*

"The boy is still new at this. You never scare your intended meal."

Remus: In...Intended...meal...Y...You're...n...not one of th...them...are u...?

"Yes. I am a vampire. But not to worry I have fed tonight." Marcus said. "If you did not want to be fed on, why are you in this part of town.?"

Remus: I...I didn't knw...I was...trying to get some alone time...I hadnt notice I was in the Red District...

"Well you be out of here before others see you. Your smell is intoxicating."

Remus: Umm...Why is tht...? *scratches his chin*

"You have a wild earthly smell that only werewolves have. I makes me think of fresh soil." He breathed in deeply.

Remus: *backed away a little* Umm...So...U knew I was a werewolf frm the start...?

"Yes. As I said your smell." Marcus started to walk the way Remus came from before. "Follow me if you want to leave here."

Remus: Uh...OK *followed behind him like a lost puppy*

"You seem sad. Why?" After so many years Marcus had found that any small talk was nice.

Remus: *looks dwn n sighs* It's...a long story

"I would not mind hearing it. Eternaty get lonely. Or as me something."

Remus: Well... *sighs n told him everything* ...yeah, n...well, tht's the gist of it

"A I see. That is tough. So are you going to do now.?"

Remus: I...I dunno...It's kinda tough. I love him...bt I'm not sure I can carry on loving him the way he is now. He's just so...distant nowadays

"Well love is ever lasting. I have been in love twice in my life."

Remus: Oh? Were they as troublesome as mine?

"Sorta. The first was a roman seniter. I was but 15 at the time but he truely did not love me. He loved young men. And when i was about 1000 years old I fell for French Lord. That one was true. But back in those day our love was forbidden. So he ended up marring a woman of class and have six kids where as I left."

Remus: W...Wow. Six kids. Well, at least u had someone who loved u bk. Mine...I'm starting to doubt, especially wen he is abt to marry another man due to a prophecy frm the Ministry. I can nvr share my lover with someone else. Nvr. Evn if it's a marriage of convenience n evn though he will return to me at the end of the day, I still... *covers his eyes*

"We all do things for love. But it is sad when love dosen't help us out." He stopped. "Here we are. Out of the Red District."

Remus: *sighed in relief as he saw that it was the familiar Diagon Alley* Thanks, Marcus. I'm...I'm Remus, btw. Remus J. Lupin

"Just call me Marcus. Anytime you need me I will be there. Just call my name." he leaned down and kiss Remus before vanishing into the night.

Remus: *watched him disappear as mysteriously as he came, somehow feeling an odd flutter in his heart*
