The Promise

Black...all I see is black. Walking in the dark when your life is in danger? Not a good idea. Especially if you hate the dark, and I've always hated it. Always scared if the shadows would eat me alive. I hate it.

I can feel my blood all over my body; dripping down my arms and legs. The pain from my scratchers becoming infected as I run for my life. I also feel an all to familiar warm liquid streaming down my face. Tears. The salty water mixing with my blood on it's journey down my checks.

Why couldn't I do it?

I then hear movement behind me. I freeze. It's getting closer. I turn my head slightly to see red. Two gleaming red eyes glaring at me, with a horrible smirk a pone it's mouth. I scream. My own blood curls at the sound of it. I then start running. Moving my legs as fast as they can go until they scream at me to stop. I don't I keep running until I trip over my own feet. I cry harder.

Why couldn't i do it? I know why...I'm a cowered. A selfish cowered. I could never kill someone, not even when many lives depended on it. Not even my own. Even when I promised him I would...I couldn't do it.

I turn to face him. Even with my vision slightly blurry from tears, I still clearly see his silver hair and red eyes. I wish his eyes would go back to the lilac I know and love. Just to see the last speck of human inside of him. That is my last request to this cruel world. I see Zero's form getting closer. His nails have grown into claws and his teeth into nightmares. I stand my ground. His smirk grows when he sees I'm not moving.

After what seems like a lifetime, he lunges. He bites into my neck painfully hard, and starts drinking my life force. When this happens, all I can think about is him. All the happy times we spent together, and all the sad. I think about when we first met, when he first bit me and all the times he saved me. But when it came down to it, I still couldn't save him. Not even now, when he needed me most. I've failed him...

I feel myself weaken. My heart beating slow and my vision almost completely blurry. As I'm about to close my eyes for the last time, I see a flash do lilac full of regret and sadness.

I'm so sorry Zero...

The End

A/N: Hello people. I hope you enjoyed this story, as I stayed up quite late to write this. I personally think if Zero did turn into a level E Yuki wouldn't be able to keep her promise. As I said hoped you enjoyed, bye!
