Dark Hours

Vanitas's POV

Chapter One: Life's a Bitch

I sighed as I walked into my huge abandoned house and through my shit off to the side and collapsed on the couch. As I stared up at the ceiling I undid my tie and threw that off to the side somewhere. I really hated school and I hated my life. At least my twin brother had it easier than I did. As I looked up I thought about the past.

My parents got separated when Sora and I were two. I suppose my mother had every right in the world to leave. My father was an abusive asshole who always treated her like shit. The night she ran she was able to grab Sora, but my father caught a hold of me before she could take me with. Sora had a pretty good life until about a year ago when our mom passed away, now he live in an apartment with some friends of his on the good side of town.

As for me, I grew up in the shitty part of town where people get murdered and rapped every day and was abused for most of my life. Lucky my father passed away six months ago and now I'm by myself. The only thing that really gets me by is my twin...and a certain girl.

I must have dozed off while I thought about my past because when the doorbell rang I was groggier than hell. When I opened the door a girl with an angel face smiled at me. She was roughly around five-four with mid back length black hair and violet eyes. She was very skinny and she had D-cup size breasts. "Miss Nightingale?" I asked confused. I forgot to mention, the certain girl I liked...was my science teacher.

"Hey Vanitas, sorry for dropping in like this. My date went bad and I didn't really know where to go." she smiled apologetically at me.

"Sure, come on in Miss Nightingale." I said stepping to the side.

"Please Vanitas, call me Lidia." She told me as she walked in

I just shrugged. "Okay then." I said as I shut the door behind me.

When I turned around she was looking around in awe. I forgot to mention, she looked way to young to be a teacher. "You live here by yourself?"

"Yeah I do. Are you hungry?" I asked. Might as well offer the girl some food since I'm heading that way anyway.

"Are you kidding? I'm starving!" she chided as she made her way to the couch.

I didn't respond, just went into the kitchen and made up some quick pasta as she made herself comfortable. I was confused as to why she would show up at my house. Yes I felt sorry that her date didn't go well and I liked her. But honestly what was I to her? I was just her student.

As I was serving up the food I heard my front door break open and Lidia scream. I quickly ran to the living room to see a man around his mid thirties, wearing torn clothes and he looked like he hadn't showered in weeks walking toward her. I quickly let anger flow through me and I charged at him knocking him to the ground and strangling him. "Get out of my house." I threatened, darkness and anger trickling through my voice. He started to shake under me and I knew he saw my eyes shift from a blueish color to yellow.

"Just let me go, I don't want to die!" he pleaded. I let him up and he ran out the door crying.

I sighed and turned around to face Lidia. She jumped and I knew that she saw what I really was because my eyes weren't shifted back all the way. "What are you?" she asked

I bit my lip hard and looked down, "I don't fucking know anymore. My dad used his as his guinea pig for his god damn experiments and he changed me into a monster."

She looked at me like she understood, "So you killed your father?" she smiled.

"Yes, Xehanort...my father. I killed him after one of the experiments. I gained a new power and lost control." I trembled as I remember the blood splattering all over the room. It was a terrifying but wonderful moment all in itself.

"Do you mind if I tell you my little secret." she smiled a playful but serious smile.

I just stared at her confused "Umm...okay."

"What you see right now is only a disguise, this isn't the real me." she looked shy and in a flash of light her figure changed. Her boy form was still the same but up and down her arms she had purple glowing tattoos up and down her arms and her hair was slightly below the shoulders and the most interesting shade of purple. "This is the real me. Just like you, my father ran experiments on me to turn me into the perfect weapon. And I'm supposed to kill you and your friends."

"Kill us?" I said surprised. I guess that's why she came over.

"That's what he told me." she held up her and on her fingertips a picture of me, Sora, Kairi, Namine, and Roxas showed up. "you all have powers he fears."

"So are you gonna kill me now?" I asked pissed and ready to fight.

She shook her head as she changed back into the Lidia I knew. "No, the funny thing is I think I like you Vanitas."

I blushed and took a step back, "You like me?" that was shocking.

"Uh huh. Don't worry, I'm only seventeen." she stuck her tongue out at me and walked closer to me. "Hold still." she told me and I could do nothing but that. Then she leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed me and I was frozen. When she broke away she smiled at me. "can I show you one of my powers?" she asked

"Sure why not." I told her, not like this day could get any weirder.

She backed up and in an instant the whole room was covered in blood, and Lidia was all bloody and dead. I jumped back into the wall and the illusion faded. "Don't ever do that again!" I yelled at her.

"Not a problem." she smiled as she started heading for the door. "hey you're brother's outside. Well anyway, I'll see you tomorrow." and after that she flew off, literally flew.

I walked to the door and she was right, Sora was on the sidewalk walking home from his classes for the say, and right behind him was a raccoon with glowing red eyes.
