Betrayal
There was once a time when she was ignorant to the darkness of the world around her, and in the present moment she found herself in, she wanted those blissful times back. Yuuki watched as Ruka's body fell to the ground, covering Zero's, whose eyes were as wide with surprise as her own. Yuuki looked to her brother, Kaname, and back to the wounded vampire; blood pooled on the ground beside her.
Kaname did that, Yuuki thought. Kaname would have done that to Zero. Yuuki bit the inside of her cheek to keep from screaming. She had accepted the role of Vampire, accepted that she would have to Kaname somehow, but although she put on a face of determination, Yuuki was scared. All the blood, all the death...she wanted nothing more than for it all to stop-for the times of the past.
"It is her will." Yuuki dug her nails into her palm. Inside her was the feeling of nothing but loss. She wanted to hate. Not care. About vampires; about hunters. About Zero, Ruka, Kaien, her father; Kaname; the world. Yuuki wanted to walk away right then and let them all destroy themselves. She didn't want to be in this war.
She was losing everything, and around her the walls of her garden were falling apart. The only ones who could help balance the growing unease inside herself stood before her, and one almost died by the hand of the other.
She felt like giving up. "Why don't we all die?" she'd suggest.
She felt like fighting.
She raised her downcasted eyes to her brother's face. She clenched her fists as blood her palm landed onto the ground below her. Kaname had always been there; ever since they were children, and even when she had forgotten him. He had always stayed by her side. Now, right when she needed him most, and could finally spend an eternity with him, he had deserted her. Gone to fulfill the will of that woman.
Losing him is going to destroy something inside of me, she thought to herself. She could feel it-something delicate and frail, a small essence, that was threatening to shatter. Once she lost Kaname she would never be the same.
But she couldn't run away. She wouldn't watch the ones she loved die.
She would fight.
And she would stop the man she loved.
