The Denying [Story by Miu-chan]

The night after he met the strange sorcerer Mateo walks in at his favourite store in China-town.
"Oh... Hello Mateo-sama, I haven't seen you in a while", the middle aged chinese welcomed him bowing.
"Xing-Mao... You're looking good..."
"Thank you Mateo-sama, what can I do for you today?", says Xing-Mao constantly smiling.
"Do you have a stone knife?", Mateo asks.
"No not a knife... but I received a really old stone dagger just the other day, it was found in a tomb of an old chinese emperor."
"Can I buy it?"
"I wanted to put it for display since it's really decorative, but I know that you can pay me good money for it and with that money I can buy other pretty things for display", Xing-Mao smirks.
"Your're right", Mateo smiles, "How much is it?"

Mateo leaves the shop with a victorious smile, it was easy enough to get a stone dagger, now he just needs to stab that nuisance of a Fairy to get rid of her forever.
He whisles happily when he gets back to his apartment.
When he opens the door, he already knows that he's no longer alone.
"Welcome back Mateo", the Fairy says smiling her strange smile, while sitting at the kitchen corner.
"I still don't know your name and yet you are in my apartment when I come home..."
"My name is Loreena, others call me Loreena-sama, but you don't have to do that", she says smirking.
"Che..." 'How can I kill her with the dagger? The sorcerer said I'd have to stake it through her heart... I need to distract her and then act quickly', Mateo thinks.
"So Loreena... The coin..."
"Yeah... the coin... Was your Witch happy about it?"
"Stop calling her my Witch! She doesn't belong to anyone except herself."

The Fairy suddenly grins at him with a strange expression on her face.
"You might be right, but you know, you can't say the same thing about yourself. You belong to me. You're my creature."
Hearing this Mateo gets so angry that the only thing he can see is red, he jumps over to Loreena and throws her on the kitchen floor.
The Fairy only smiles at him: "What? You're mad now? I only told the truth, you're only walking because of me, so your life-after-death belongs to me, since it's my power that keeps your dead body moving."
Mateo grabs her throat to shut her up and grabs the stone dagger.
As she sees the dagger Loreena turns pale: "No, don't... you don't know what you're doing!"
He smiles at her, cold and mean, then he stabs her heart with the dagger.
As the Fairy screams in pain and somehow turns gray he smiles, thinking: 'With this, it's finally over.'
When he watches Loreena dying he suddenly feels the feeling of loss. 'What's wrong with me?', he thinks bearing his face in one hand, 'I should be happy and proud that I managed to kill the almighty Fairy that everyone kept telling me I wouldn't be able to kill.'
"You're sad because in your dreams you kept longing for me since I made you... Also you're blood is sad when I'm about to die."
"No... you can't be... I stabbed your heart!"
Loreena now sits beside him, still looking a little gray. As he looks at her smile he trembles. She never once smiled at him with such cruelty in her eyes.

Mateo jumps up trying to get away from her but she's way faster than him and suddenly he's the one lying on the kitchen floor with her on top.
"You really wanted to kill me... Ne?"
"Why didn't you die? I'm sure I stabbed your heart!", Mateo yells desperately.
"Yeah... my heart", she chuckles, "You know, when a Sorcerer, a Witch or a Fairy talks about the heart, they mean the heart of power, the source of magic. But stabbing me with a stone dagger... You sure have nerve! Though it didn't kill me... it still frickin' hurt!"
Now her smile is completely whiped off of her face as she binds him with magic so that he can't move.
Her face gets closer to him and he sees a coldness in her eyes that was never there before.
"Have you ever been surpressed... by a girl?", she asks grinning at him very coldly.

"Ho... how the hell could a woman do that to a man?", he asks breaking out in cold sweat.
"You know... It's an easy task to make your body do what I want, since you're such a weak creature and on top of that you're my creature. I have absolute control over you. And what I need now is some magic I can only obtain by doing this."
"Bu... but I have not a single trace of magic in me."
"You're so wrong Mateo... I told you that your dead body is only moving because of my powers... which means you'r only walking because of magic... and I will now take some of this magic back. You will feel a little weak but you will be fine if you drink a little blood."
Loreena smiles as she seems to remember something. "I don't even have to cast a spell to bind us together since you're a vampire you can't resist my blood. And this will make the connection I need to get back my magic."
Loreena now bites her lip open with her little Fairy fangs. 'Where did she get them from!', Mateo asks as she presses her lips on his, forcing her blood into his mouth.
When the blood touches his tounge he is amazed by how delicious it is. It's like ambrose and his fangs pop out faster then ever as she continues drawing magic out of him.

When it ended Loreena removes the spell she used to bind him. It now is Mateo, who looks a little pale.
"Y... You know... it wasn't what you thought it was", he says.
"Sure it was Baby", Loreena says and smiles at him pityingly, "But it's alright if you want to make yourself believe that."
Mateo feels kinda clueless now, he does neither know what to do, nor does he know what to say or even to think. This sort of thing has never happened to him... No one ever drew out magic of him... He always used to think that he was just a human with a little power-up... and not a magical creature...
When he finally manages to get up and wobbles into the bath. When he looks at himself in the mirror he is shocked that he looks so pale but his eyes have changed, their colour always was a nice dark blue but now it turned into an icy blue. He decides to ignore it, thinking drinking Loreenas blood is the cause and that the effect would wear off with time.

"It will not wear off... You've just drank Fairy blood, you will soon recognize other aspects about you that have changed", Loreena says entering the bathroom behind him ... naked to take a shower.
"Leave me alone", he growls..
"I can't hear you... I'm taking a shoooower", she flutes happily.
"Che...", Mateo makes, starting to cleaning his mouth off of her blood.
When some of the blood that was left gets in his mouth he has that amazing feeling of being almighty again. 'How can mere blood give me such a good feeling?', he asks himself.
"It's not mere blood, it's my blood", Loreena answers his thoughts again, "You don't even know that you just received a huge power up with it. But you will notice it sooner or later."
He can hear that the Fairy's smiling, but he doesn't reply to her. 'It's not worth my time to talk to her', he decides.

When Loreena gets out of the shower and gets herself dressed she leavs immediately with one last sentence: "You will dream of me my Dear!"
'Finally alone again', Mateo thinks, takes a shower, cleans up his room and gets to sleep, but as he falls asleep immediately he starts to dream something very strange.
It's just like he was watching the whole scene as a ghost floating in midair above all the Fairies.
"Loreena! Loreena!", some Fairy yells, "Loreena, you don't know what you're doing!"
When the Fairy reaches Loreena and she turns around Mateo finally can see her true appearance. She's as tiny as she's when she looks like human, but her eyes and her ears have changed dramatically. She now has pointed ears and her eyes are that of a cat.

When she replies she looks so angry that he can almost grip her anger.
"Of course I do Arina. He has killed her and is now sitting on my throne! It is my duty to do this!"
"But he's too powerful!"
"DON'T YOU GET IT?! I'M ALREADY CONNECTED, ARINA!!! THERE'S NO TURNING BACK NOW!", she yells.
"Bu.. But Loreena..."
"From now on you will call me Loreena-sama, since I'm the heir to the throne."
The Fairy called Arina bows her head and whispers: "I'm just concerned about your well-being Loreena...-sama"
"You don't have to. He's not as powerful as everyone thinks", Loreena smirks.
At the next scene Mateo sees Loreena entering a huge hall with lots of people in it.
"KING JUUGO! APPEAR BEFORE THE LEGITIMATE QUEEN OF THE FAIRY QUEENDOM!", she yells into the crowd.
"So you want to pick a fight?", a big guy with long black hair, who suddenly appears behind Loreena asks.
"I am here to take what belongs to me... and only to me."
"Well well, let's give it a try..."

"Do you really think you can beat me?", Juugo asks smirking.
"You should have never taken seat on my throne. You're just a mere shifter Fairy. You have a strong animal form that is true... but it's still just one of the three powers a Fairy can have", she says calm.
Mateo remembers what Fatufa told him about the powers of Fairies. Acutally there are three powers of a Fairy and common Fairies have only one while powerful Fairies have two but not more. He looks at Loreenas cat eyes and is sure that she's a shifter but she can do magic too, he remembers. Which means that she has only that two powers. Or so he thought... because what Loreena says next totally screws up the theory of powerful Fairies having only two powers.
"I am the predicted trinitarian Queen. You have no chance to win against my three powers with your one tiny Fairy power."

Juugo growls because she hurt his pride he gets ready to attack her and his eyes turn gold as he starts to shift.
"Che...", Loreena's eyes glow because of her anger as she quickly shifts into a lynx.
When Juugo fully changed his form Loreena faces a big, powerful and pride lion.
"You are not going to take away the throne for which I have killed the old Queen your aunt...", he lets his telepathic voice reach out.
The other Fairies step back to watch the fight and not be in the way. Murs and whispers run through the crowd.
Mateo wonders how Loreena as a cute little lynx should be able to beat that huge lion before her but since she's alive it must mean she managed it somehow...
When the lion strikes forward to bite the neck of the lynx, Loreena has already moved to another spot.
"You might be big and powerful, but you're also slow..."
"I'm fast enough to kill you!"
"Not unless you know where my heart is..."

When the lion strikes forward again Loreena has grown herself wings and now floats in midair above Juugo.
"What the hell...?!"
"Did you really think I have only one form I can shift in?"
She slowly changes into a griffin, then she comes at him and tackles him hard.
The lion rolls over the floor, Juugo now has a deep wound on the right side her beak was giving him.
Loreena sighs and turns back to her Fairy form: "I don't even need an animal form to kill you. I know where your heart lies..."
"How...?! That's not possible! Nature's supposed to make it impossible so that we can't kill each other..."
"Yet you killed my aunt... Because you made her fall in love with you and tell you where her heart lies... And I... as the trinitian Queen can sense it... your heart..."

Being afraid of dying he tries to escape but the watching Fairies made a circle around the fighters... kinda like an arena.
When Loreena lets a light spear appear in her hand he growls and strikes forward desperately, his claws scratch her left eye leaving three fine lines.
"Heh~ Seems I'm not as slow as you thought..."
Loreenas eye is closed now and she stumbles.
'I never saw a scar above her eye... I wonder if one was left after this...', Mateo asks himself.
When Loreena recovered a bit she smirks at Juugo, while she strikes forward fast and stabs his right shoulder.
"H...How did you...?!"
"I told you I can sense it... it's your scapula...", she says while chrushing it with her spear.
Juugo gasps and turns pale, then gray. "Someday you will die for this..."
"I should thank you... just now you made me practically invincible with your attack."
"Don't tell me your eye is..."
She smirks down at him when he dies and his body turns to dust.

When Loreena stands up her eye is still bleeding but she looks at the other Fairies with a serious look, then victory shows up in her face.
"I - THE RIGHTEOUS QUEEN OF THE FAIRY QUEENDOM - HEREBY CLAIM THE THRONE!", she yells, "DO YOU AGREE?!"
All the Fairies cheer for the new queen as Mateo's shocked.
'She...She's the Fairy Queen?! Goddamnit... with what person did I mess...? She's going to kill me!'
While Mateo sleeps and dreams about Loreenas past she comes in with a cloud of leaves and walks to his bed.
"Sorry Dear but you have to forget about a little detail in this dream..."
She puts her hand on his head and makes him forget that her eye got cut. "I can't let you have any clue on my heart...", she says while he stirs lightly and she vanishes into leaves again.

Oh sweet, I loved this chapter because it had more action in it than the previous ones!xD So i'm guessing that her eye, has something to do with the secret of her power?:D I liked it, and it looks like you really worked hard on making any improvements to the story, so way to go.;)
