Attention: Attention
I thought maybe I go into details on how the curse came to be. Not everything is revealed, but it's getting there.
And ben4kenvin brought up a good point about the levels/ranking of Zero and Ichiru. And they don't have a rank seeing how they're hunters and vampires. Technically they're half human, but they're just as powerful as a pureblood. But it'll be explain further in the story as it goes along.
If you have more questions or things are still not clear, please feel free to ask.
Enjoy.
Twisted Wind Chapter 2
It was a sunny day. The birds were singing and the people were all scared. Eyes darting left and right as if suddenly expecting another crusade by the hunters.
A little girl with a pink dress ran down the street as fast as her dress allowed her as she ducked into the woods to play with a friend of hers.
Upon entering a small village in the woods, she was greeted by an older woman name, Chalu, the village leader.
"Hello dear child," Chalu, was the mother of her friend she was visiting. "When you didn't come to visit last week, we feared the worst of you." "As of I," the little girl said, despite of being a child she wasn't naïve. "My father led another crusade to the Edro Village. My father had me under tight guards so I couldn't leave like I wanted to."
The elder lady nodded. "Do you know it they plan to strike here?"
The little shook her head, "That I'm not sure of, I snuck a map out of my father's planning room and I started to trace all the place he lead a crusade in, but not only has this village been over looked once, but several times."
The elder witch looked awfully startled but elated nonetheless.
"However, I wouldn't let your guard down, Chalu, I like to think that they over look this place because I visit so often, so I'm not sure."
Chalu nodded, "Nevertheless, we'll strengthen our wards." The woman left in a much happier pace, though the little girl couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the old woman. At her age she needs peace and tranquility so her passing would be free of demons coming to take her soul away.
The little girl made it to Chalu knowing that her best friend, Sandra would be there.
"Sandra," the little girl shouted as she entered the house. A small woman was standing over a large black cauldron with purple and green smoke rising upward. The small woman jumped and placed a hand over her heart and sighed.
"Dear me child you nearly scared me into the bowl," Sandra said. "Come over here, there is much to discuss, I fear this may be the last time we will talk for a while again."
The little girl sat while Sandra poured water for them.
"Liza," Sandra said as tears started to fall down her small face. Sandra wasn't pretty, but she wasn't ugly. She might've been beautiful at one point, but with these crusades going, she couldn't age as gracefully as others had the privilege of doing so. "We don't much time left do we?"
The little girl shook her head, "I say you guys are safe, but that is indefinite, even I can't tell what's on my father mind these coming days. I fear the worst that nobody, no supernatural creatures nor humans are safe anymore. Father suddenly became more and more adamant on killing everything."
Sandra frowned as the little girl in front her cried. She like to think of Liza as a daughter that she could never have and she cherish the girl and so does the other women and children.
"There is no way you can change your dads mind?"
Liza shook her head, "I don't think the death of me would make it any better in fact it would make it worst, that's probably why nobody dared attack the castle, but I fear that everybody is reaching their breaking point, that's why Sandra, I beg you to put a curse on the Kiryuu clan."
…
Ichiru blinked as he sat up in his bed. He watched Zero's sleeping form and smile. It would only be a matter of time before his brother truly awakens and he looks forward to that moment. He would love for his brother to come to him, to hold him and kiss him. He wanted his brother so badly it aches.
Ichiru looked at his tattoos. The designs on him were remarkably plain for something that gave him so much pain. The tattoos read out vampire and hunter. That posed another question when he saw these tattoos it reminded him that if he was a hunter yet a vampire wouldn't it make him half human? If so, how is it that he can rival a pureblood vampire, hell how can a half human be on the same level as one? How is this treated like a curse? It seems more like a blessing to him. He just doesn't get it, the curse was that twins would suffer and one will die. If both were to survive then they become the thing that they hate the most.
Ichiru tried to sum it up, 'So, if we turned into the one thing we hate the most, then that would be vampires right?' However Zero and never expressed our hate about vampires. Well he never did, he could always remember watching Dracula classics whenever he got the chance.
He remembered the conversations he had with Zero and he told him how he was mad about the fact that there was vampires existed. He was just mad that the vampires were going to make a stupid mistake such as exposing them to a world where people might not be ready. As far as he knew Zero didn't hate vampires, in fact he might've been a little scared.
It just didn't add up.
"Sebastian," Ichiru called out as he rubbed Zero face. The boy barely twitches and that concerned him a lot.
"Yes master Ichiru," the butler entered the room.
"Where is Charles?" Charles was a vampire hunter who swore his loyalty to him, for what reason was strange. He didn't trust his own people. It was good enough for Ichiru since he knew the man would serve himself useful as he can be his eyes in the vampire hunter association.
"I believe he's back at the Order," the butler said.
Ichiru smirk, "Good, I need to you and Charles to collect as much information on the Kiryuu clan as possible." The butler bowed and left.
Ichiru sighed, "Zero."
"Chiru," Zero mumbled under his breath. Ichiru smiles goes back to sleep.
And so more problems arises…
…
I think the next chapter will be mostly at the academy. I like to see how the others are reacting about Zero being gone.
