Flight of the Memories

Chapter 2

Elda Von Katherinex

It had been a week or so since I started school in Knight Academy.

Life was chaotic, different and better.

I was no longer sitting in a hospital room doing nothing else but day dreaming.

Maybe life would change after all.

Or so I had thought.

My 'peaceful' life was sort of disrupted when the same people who had created me came to my school.

I dropped by the Chairman's office to see what I could ask the chairman about. Especially, the history, I wanted to tell him that there was no point doing history especially when you were probably there when it happened.

What I hated even more was the blood tablets they gave us.

They said that it was for our own goods that they were giving us that.

I thought not.

It tasted so stale rather than the blood that could change to your cravings.

Sweet when you required it, iron tasting when you were angry and salty when you were sad.

Your taste varied with your feelings.

And no, the humans "in order to keep the peace between vampires and humans" must do so.

Do what?

That was the question.

All they were making us do was starve ourselves just for the sake of 'peace' which the dear old chairman thought we could keep.

Not that I opposed it.

But, couldn't they work put an agreement.

A lot better to satisfy us for that one moment rather than to attack and be killed.

I guess, it worked both ways.

I stopped short at what I heard. "She's a danger! A danger to everyone around her!"

I recognized the chairman's voice, "She is not a danger unless she wants herself to be."

"No, no vampire has ever been implanted with wolf parts. We were desperate. She WILL be a danger. We have to EXTERMINATE HER!"

Hours later, I dropped by the chairman's office again.

I sat outside his door.

Stunned, shocked and crying.

I heard his steps, a hesitating sigh.

I stopped, stifling my cries.

Glancing at his door, I stood up and ran.

I was throwing things into my duffel bag when I realised.

I needed a place to stay. So did the people who were going to kill me.

I decided to wait until the moment they struck before running.

Besides, I would need the blood they could give.

After all the trash they gave me, it would take a while until I felt better and would be able to go onto the move evading the authorities.

I noticed something about the wolf implants, they not only enhanced my vision and smell, now I could even spend time out in the sun. At least an hour or two.

I just needed to go indoors for ten minutes to cool off before going back out again.

I loved to sit under a Sakura tree.

I was attracted to the tree for some reason.

Many things remained to be seen, I had lost my memory, I couldn't remember anything...

Only shadows of the past remained, too blur to see anything.

I closed my eyes.
