Chapter One :
The raven's calling was haunting; echoing throughout the stone walls of Rido Kuran's dark castle. Fire light flickered as they lit up the hallways, the flames lapping at the edge of the wall as if trying to consume the granite. The night was peaceful, calm, delicate. Full moon brimming against the black of the night sky, stars twinkling every which way. Sasaya was still chained to her metal bed in the cold of her shut-off room, face wet from melancholy tears and clothes torn from Rido having his time with her earlier in the day. A plate of food sat on the ground, beckoning for her to eat it, although she kicked it to the side and decided to starve herself; a nice way out ... starving to death. Better than dying at the hands of a sadistic masochist.
"My, my, you are one stubborn child. What shall I do with you, exactly?" The deep mono-toned troll of Rido's voice sounded across from Sasaya's bed, his heels clicking against the stone floor as he slowly approached from the doorway.
"I do not wish to eat the food that you serve me, anyways, I should not have to eat. I am a vampire and I drink blood." Her ice blue eyes menacing, staring him down and daring him to try anything.
"Then take my blood, you should have asked me sooner," He smirked under his pitch black hair which hung in his eyes.
The older gentlemen pulled on the collar of his shirt, popping a few buttons off in order to expose his neck and shoulder.
Th-thump. Th-thump. "Never, Rido," She spit his name with acid, although her eyes were pleading as her gaze bore down on his skin, her vampire sight letting her see the blood run through his wonderfully thick veins.
A chuckle. "Silly child, you know you want some, don't deny your cravings." He leaned over her so that her face pressed into the nape of his neck.
Inhaling slowly, Sasaya closed her eyes and tried fighting against the thirst that was building up in the pit of her stomach. "No." Her word was firm.
Another chuckle. Bringing up his hand, Rido slit a small incision on his throat with the tip of his nail, letting the blood drip and run down into his palm.
Face reddening, Sasaya held her breath to keep the smell from her nostrils; it was to much to bare.
"Let me help," Sighed Rido, shoving his palm over her half-open mouth.
Eye's flaring dangerously red, she pulled away from his hand, not willing to give into the thirst. Her heart beat angrily against her ribs, her body needed the blood that sat before her, yet she turned the other cheek and denied it.
"Huh ... what a strong will you have there. Fine. Die from lack of nutrition. I couldn't care less." Getting up from the bed, Rido made his quick exit and bolted the door locked behind him.
Sasaya sighed; such a relief to have that smell out of the room. She looked down at her swollen ankle, the chains were rather tight. Plopping back on the bed, she rest her eyes and slowly drifted into an uncomfortable sleep.
A Little While Later :
"Wake up!" Rido smacked his hand against her pale cheek hard enough to wake her and send her flying to the floor.
"What the hell?" Sasaya held her swelling cheek as she cowered on the granite.
"Your boyfriend is here. And I don't know what he's planning but he isn't getting his hands on you," The older man's face was flushed and furious as he grabbed her by the arm and jolted her to her feet.
Kana ... me? Head swirling, she watched as Rido bent down to unlock her ankle chains. Swiftly, he pulled her into his side and started dragging her off out of her room and down long corridors.
"Where are you taking me?" She struggled against his vice grip. If he lets go for just a moment, I might be able to run.
"Anywhere but here, he'll find you."
Once hard tug and her arm was free, screaming in victory she bolted down the hallway; in the opposite direction he was leading them.
"Sasaya!" His low voice yelled her name, his tone obviously outraged.
Th-thump. Th-thump, th-thump. "Kaname!" She shouted his name; it feeling foreign on her tongue for she had not spoken his name out loud for quite a while. "Where are you?"
Her bare feet dug into the uneven stone below her, her face wincing in pain although she ignored it - she had to find him. Even if on her half he had betrayed her, she still loved him, she wanted him to protect her from the man he gave her away to.
Sasaya skidded to a dead halt, the smell of wine and roses filled her nostrils as she turned the corner.
"Komii," He whispered her human name in such a manner that it sounded like a dirty word that should never be spoken.
She had not actually been expecting him, for a very odd reason. Her feet were locked in place and her eyes were huge as they bore into the wine colored ones she had once been used too. His shaggy chocolate hair wafted in his eyes and he smiled hauntingly across from her, his fangs exposed.
"Ka-" She dare to question him, but was grabbed around the neck by Rido, who had only been a matter of feet away.
Kicking her legs and gripping onto the hands which clamped around her neck, she screamed out her lovers name. "Kaname!"
And suddenly she fell to the floor, her knees buckling under her and hitting the stone hard. She cried out from the emense pain, but recovered quickly when a hand bore down on her shoulder. She looked up into two emerald colored orbs, which glowed in such a manner it made her stop breathing.
"Sasaya-senpai, come with me," It was Ichijou; a good friend of Kaname's and who she right away recognized.
Gulping, she bowed her head - black hair falling in strands around her face. Letting her put all of her weight on him, Ichijou helped Sasaya stand up.
"I-I'm sorry I'm wobbly," She stammered, her knees shaking and willing to give out.
"That is okay," He smiled at her timidly, swiftly taking her in his arms and whooshing down the hallway.
"Unghh," Rido moaned as his head was slammed into the stone wall, his neice's grip tight around his throat.
"You will die, here and now, you masochistic bastard." His words were like those of a hunter, his tone dripping with thick acid.
His uncle smirked against his hair. "You cannot kill me,"
Now Kaname was the one smirking. "You wanna bet?"
... Well that's it, chapter one of my new story, the sequel to This War. Hope you enjoyed! Chapter two will be put up after I receive reviews.
