Chapter 2: Bloody memory
Shortly after guarding, Zero and I walked into the headmaster's office,
" Zero! Suzume! There you are!" exclaims the headmaster cheerfully.
"How is it guarding the school?" he asks.
"Its absolutely stunning" I replied sarcastically.
"Tiring, All we do is guard all day" commented Zero.
"What? Shouldnt it be at least fun?" Questions the head master.
Zero and i gave no reply.
"Probably since Yuki isnt around.." The headmaster mumbled in a depressing tone.
"Yuki?" I asked.
"Who is Yuki?" I thought to myself.
Zero suddenly turned around,
"Its time to go" he said as he left.
"Good night Headmaster" I said in a hurry.
I ran after Zero, Curious of this 'Yuki ' Girl.
"Hey, Who is this 'Yuki'?"I asked him. Zero suddenly stopped walking,
"None of your buisness" he replied.
Zero continued walking,
"Fine! I didnt want to know either" I yelled out to him. I walked into my dorm and undressed myself before entering the shower. As i entered the shower, The hot steam flows through the door.
"That Zero, So Rude!" i said as i slammed the door. I Lay in the warm bath as memories of my childhood flash back at me.
"Mayuri.."I softly said. I Closed my eyes, and began to remember that horrible day 1 year ago. It was a cold winter day. I was on my way to Mayuri's House, My best friend. I Was about 15 at the time, I didnt know much. Mayuri and i were like sisters from another mother. We cherished eachother as if we were blood related. We loved eachother. It was not too soon when i arrived at Mayuri's house. When i got there, From a far distance, I saw Mayuri with a man. They were kissing.
"Who is that man? Why would Mayuri hide this from me? Arent i her bestfriend?" I kept asking myself. Suddenly, He dissapeared. I knew exactly what he was. A Vampire.
I confronted Mayuri about it.
"I love him! You dont understand the meaning of love!" Mayuri yelled.
"But Mayuri, He's not human! He's a.." I didnt dare to finish my sentence.
"A Vampire?" finished Mayuri.
I was silent, I Couldnt bare thinking about my bestfriend inlove with a vampire. It was wrong. I stood up from my seat and hugged her,
"I Dont want you to become a Vampire, Mayuri" I cried.
Mayuri didnt answer me, Instead, she pushed me away,
"Mayuri?" I questioned.
"I Love him" She mumbled. I was in complete shock, How could my dear bestfriend.. fall inlove with an evil creature? I was confused. Soon our voices started to rise up, Slowly,
"Mayuri! You know its impossible for a Human to fall inlove with a vampire!" i yelled.
"I know that! Which is why, I plan to become one!" Mayuri yelled back.
"What?" i asked.
Mayuri bursted into tears and ran into her since that day, Mayuri and I didn't talk at all. It's been weeks, I missed her. Maybe It wasnt so bad that she fell inlove with a vampire.. As long as he doesnt turn her into a vampire.. and doesnt betray her.. Then its fine right?
After school was over, I ran towards Mayuri's house. I wanted to ask for forgiveness and wanted to make up. But.. that never happened. Her house was torn apart. From the sides to the front, It was torn open. I ran inside looking for Mayuri, I regret doing that. Inside, Was blood. All over the walls and dripping from the necks of Mayuri's family members. I Screamed in terror.
"M-Mayuri!" i yelled as i tried to find her. Mayuri was no where to be found. I was terrified.
"Mayuri.." I cried. There were blood stains on my shoes and blood on my hands. I wanted to kill myself. But something stopped me,
"Vampire.." I mumbled. I stood up and looked at the corpses of Mayuri's Mother, Father, and brother.
"I'll avenge you.." i said.
"And Mayuri.. Where ever you are" i added. That night, I never forgot what happened. Each and every single detail was burned into my memory. I wanted to kill all vampires.
I opened my eyes, panting. I was back at Cross Academy, In my dorm, In the bath. I was back.
"how long have i been in the bath?" i asked myself.
I got up and finished washing myself. As soon as i finished, I drained the water and slipped on my pajamas. My hair was still wet from the water, So i decided to dry it while getting a cup of hot milk. I put a towel on my shoulder as I opened my dorm room and walked down the stairs into the kitchen. As i reached the door, something touches my shoulder,
"GYAH!" I yelled out. Suddenly i am turned around and my mouth is covered. It was Zero.
"Zero! You scared me!" i whispered.
"What are you doing up so late?" He asked as he let me go.
"Getting a drink of hot milk" I replied opening the kitchen door. I walked in and grabbed a glass cup. Zero followed.
"Why are you following me?" i asked him.
"I have my own things to do in here too" Zero replied.
"Tch, Sure" I mumbled.
As i walked over to the fridge the glass cup suddenly slips from my hand and falls to the ground breaking. I bent down trying to pick it up only to cut my finger,
"Ack!" I Let out. Blood from my finger spilled onto the floor. I turned to Zero, Motioning him over,
"Zero, Give me a.." i didnt finished my sentence. Zero seemed to be in pain, He was holding his throat and facing away from me.
"Are you okay?" i asked as i walked up to him. I touched his arm, But he yanked me away,
"Dont come.. Any closer!" He yelled.
"I Just wanted to know if you were okay or not" i replied crossing my arms. This time Zero really seemed to be in pain,
"Zero.. Are you really okay?" i asked again.
