Chapter Three: The nightmare returns.
I could hear someone calling my name. I was nine years old again, and didn't have my gloves or Blood Shed with me. I slowly stood up and saw that I was in a dark room, and there was a white door that had smoke coming the bottom of it. I opened it to see everyone that I cared about being burned. I widened my eyes to see that there was another me, but when white hair and true blue eyes. She was laughing and was about to kill Alucard. This caused me to run into the room and towards the girl. I didn't care of the pain was getting worse; I won't let this girl hurt Alucard! Then she turned around and stabbed me in the stomach as I felt blood ooze out of my stomach. "Why…" I looked at the girl. "Why are you doing this to me?" She smirked at me and I noticed that there was a dark tint in her eyes. "It's because we need your blood to-"
I sat up straight as I felt the cold sweat on my forehead, and tears being ready to pour out. I shivered as I could feel myself about to cry. I stood up, walked to the restroom that was nearby, and washed my face. I could still feel the fire on my legs and arms from the dream. I sighed and shocked my head. I knew I needed to calm down before Trish comes back so I left the room. But those words that the girl said were still lurking in my head. I didn't want to think about it any longer because her face to me was a hint that it was something bad.
I walked to where the weapons were and I saw that Blood Shed had a different blade instead of the red blade; it had a silver blade. I blinked, walked to it, picked it up and looked at it. The ribbon was gone, and the hilt was white instead of black. I widened my eyes when I saw the reflection of the blade. Instead of my normal hair and eye color, I had white hair, and brownish/reddish eyes. I was shivering in fear. It reminded me of the girl from the dream. I could feel my fear rising as flashes of my dream and old ones from my childhood came before my eyes. N-No, I thought as I could feel the tears coming back, I need to stop it! I dropped Blood Shed and ran out of the room. I wanted to get out here again. I ran to my old room to see that it had my new clothes already packed and my bag that I've bought at Hot Topic. I put the bag on the bed and put the clothes I needed back in. I didn't care if I was weak for doing this. I don't ever want to have these dreams again!
Soon I've packed everything I needed, and went to the kitchen to grab food that I needed. Now the last thing I needed to do was by pass the guards. Luckily, Dante taught me how to knock out people without killing them which I did. I opened the entrance of the base and left. I could the slight burning sensation on my skin as the sunlight hit against my skin. This caused me to hide in a hollow tree. I could feel myself lose energy which caused me to grab a bottle of soda and drank a sip of it. I knew that if I've slept that they're going to find me fast. I poked my head out to see that the sun was setting which was bad. I got out of the comfortable hollow tree, and started to walk deeper into the forest.
I've told Alucard the information that I thought he needed to know. Then I went back to the room to find that Luna wasn't there. "Luna?" I opened the restroom door to not find her. Maybe she's in her room, I thought as I walked to where her room is. I frozed when I saw the drawers empty. I ran everywhere, and I couldn't find her. I ran to where Dante's room was opened the door to see him sleeping.
"Dante, have you seen Luna?"
"No, why?" He looked at me in questionably look.
"She's not in the room that I left her in, and her clothes are gone!" He widen his eyes as I said this. "We have to find her!"
"I'll tell everyone else." I said as I ran out to tell everyone about Luna. Where are you Luna? Don't you realize that you've just put yourself into a big danger when now demons, vampires, and now angels are after you?
I was panting as I felt my throat burning like as if the sun was in my throat. I've been drinking my water bottle to cool it down, but it only worsened it. Then an idea popped in my mind. Alucard had bitten me which I think makes a vampire as well, right? I thought as I looked at my wrist. I could feel small fangs grow out as I put my lips on my right wrist, slowly licked it, and bit into it. I closed my eyes as I winced. I hated feeling the pain of it, but I could feel my throat going back to normal as I felt my energy going back to me. I soon stopped drinking my blood because I knew if I drank too much of it that I'll pass out. I listen to my surroundings to see that anyone was near me which I didn't hear anything. This caused me to walk deeper to find out that I was on a side of a road. This caused me to make it darker and ran to the other side of the road.
I could faintly hear my name being called in my mind. I shook my head and continue walking. I could smell herbs which caused fear to run through me. I made a barrier of darkness around me and stood still. Tsukiko, the thought went through me as I was frozen in fear. H-How did they find me so fast?
"Tsukiko, put down your barrier!" I widened my eyes when I heard Dante's voice. "Wh-Why should I? Leave me alone Dante." I said as I made small light daggers. Then the barrier broke and this caused me to throw the daggers at him. They hit his chest, but it didn't seem to affect him. I took a step back as his face turned serious. "Why did you leave?" I stayed quiet when he said this. I quickly turned around and ran for it. I didn't care if they catch up to me. I will not go back to the place where all the nightmares started!
Then I ran into someone's chest. I was about to step back, but I was grabbed on my arms to hold me in place. "Tsukiko," I recognized that voice as I start to struggle, "stop struggling." I didn't listen to him. I didn't care if he was going to hurt me. I had to get away from those dreams! "Calm down Tsukiko. I know why you left." I frozed when he said this. H-How does he know? I thought as I shivered in fear. "H-How?" I looked up to see his face in a worried expression. But I noticed that his eyes were bright red which caused me to shiver in fear. I could see the memories of being chased by those people with red eyes. "Tsukiko, I'm not like them." I heard Alucard said. I didn't know if I should even believe in him. Then I heard a rustle in the bushes which caused me to look. It was Dante. "Tsukiko, it's okay." I shook my head and looked down.
"I'll handle it from here-" I widened my eyes as Alucard pointed the gun at him. "I suggest you stay back."
"Says who?"
"Says the vampire that can kill-"
"NO!" I pushed him and ran in front of Dante as I hold my arms out. Alucard had a shocked expression when I did this. "Please, don't hurt him!" I didn't want anyone to get hurt. "Why? After all, he's the one that caused the bruise on your cheek. Am I correct?" I was frozen when he said this. A-A bruise? I thought as I slowly put my hand where Dante slapped me to feel a soft sting on my cheek. I shook my head and looked down. "Th-That doesn't matter. He's like a brother to me!"
"Aw," I looked up when I heard this voice. I knew this voice because he was the first person that came after me when I was under Dante's and Trish's care. I looked and saw Gabriel. He had blonde hair and lavender eyes. "You've already started to build relationships!" I glared at him. I knew what he wanted because he wanted to marry my mother because of her powers that were passed down to me. "Minami," I whispered as I felt her energy nearby me. "Here's your sword."
"What the-?" I knew Dante was shocked at this, but at this point I needed to relieve some stress off. I grabbed Blood Shed from her and looked at Gabriel. "I thought Trish told you to stay away from me?" He chuckled when I said this. "But you belong to-"
"I DO NOT BELONG TO ANYONE!" I could feel the something running through my veins. Calm down Tsukiko, I heard Alucard's voice say in my head. But I ignored it and took a step forward. "I'll make a deal with you. If I win, you leave me and my friends alone." He smirked. "And if I win you have to bear my children." I laughed a little when he said this. "If I remember correctly, vampires can't give birth to children." His face turned dead cold like as if I was a pure demon that would not listen to them. "Then I'll just have to kill you." That didn't matter to me. I wanted to die all my life because of the weight of bringing peace to the races at war.
"Everyone, get a safe distance away from here." I ordered them as they did what they were told.
Soon we started to fight, but I noticed that I've somehow gotten stronger than before. I made a darkness ball and threw it at him which caused him to scream in pain. I smirked at this, but then I felt my body start to pulse. I widen my eyes as the burning sensation came back to my throat. I was panting and was growing weaker. Wh-What the…? I thought as I gripped onto Blood Shed. I ran into the darkness and tried my best to cut off his arm. But he dodged it and stabbed me in the stomach which caused me to scream in pain. He smirked as he twisted the dagger and threw me into a tree. I slowly stood up as I leaned against the tree. Why was I getting weaker? He started to laugh. "What's wrong moon child? Lost your energy from running away?" I glared at him. I knew that there was only one option which was to touch him to make him pass out from absorbing him. I was about to run, but I fell to the ground as I groaned in pain. I could see my vision going to a fuzzy state when I heard Gabriel's cold laughter. Gomen, I thought as small tears formed in my eyes.
