Zero POV
When I finally got to courtyard, no one was there in sight. I looked at the full moon as it shy away into the misty clouds that was slowly dancing across the sky. I decide if she doesn't show up than i'm going ahead without her tonight. I don't need to babysit some girl who couldn't bother coming on time than there's no point in waiting.
I was about to head my way but, IT stopped me. The crest on my neck was throbbing as it intch its way across my neck and my vision becoming blood red as ever cells in my senses heightens. The more I stood at the spot the more lifeless I felt. I can't go through all this for much long that I ran to the nearest bushes and fall to the ground.
I clutched the collar of my shirt and grinding my teeth that I can hear them chipping away. Ever sound of rustling leaves. Every pulse in my veins that I can see. Nothing can top of the scents of blood of humans hitching a ride in the wind to torture my brittle soul that is in pain of years of emptiness. Not of loneliness but of the dying hunger that is piercing through my gums. I tried searching for the blood pills in my pockets but all I got was dust balls and hollowness. Damn! I growled at my stupidity that I left the packet in my room or I dropped it somewhere on the way.
Shutting my eyes to no longer be surrounded by swirling red but darkness to help ease the process of fighting off it, but this was so hard that I actually broke out into sweat. The rasping breathe was like the only way that my thoughts could find a escape from my trembling body. Nothing could ease this away unless I was literature class that was bathed in...
I shot up when the smell of roses... soaked in honey coated blood sneaked its way into my lungs.
This is becoming like my personal oxygen tank that sucks out the pain from one short breathe. It restarted my heart like the paddles in the hospital. My eyes fluster open and slowly the red fabric cover my sight unraveled and everything came back to me. I took deep breathes and wiped all the sweat away with my white handkerchief. While I was doing that the sound of footsteps was heading there way getting louder.
I got up in the shadows and peered through the bushes to see a girl standing there near the fountain. The moonlight enlightened her silk black hair while the wind was toying with her red strand. And that's when I realized that it was Anika who was joining the vampire loving club like Yuuki. Just another girl who admires those damn Pure-bloods.
I didn't come out quite yet cause I wanted to see why she was really here. She was looking up at the moon which made her skin even more glowing white like a snowy field. I didn't bother to stay long to see what else since this whole observation is futile. When I was about to hide out through the shadows, I stepped on a twig which I knew wouldn't blew my cover from this distance but I was proven wrong when I heard someone calling me. I turned around to see emerald eyes captivating me in the moment. I couldn't tell if I was breathing since my nostril is full of this aroma that makes me feel alive but also dead inside.
Anika POV
I saw a tall dark figure hiding in the shadows under the trees and with little help from the moonlight I got to say violet eyes glimmer with lost anticipation and I could see the mere pain sip away as he blinked his way through the dark. Standing before me was Zero who looked indifferent as ever. Was it only hours that I have seen him look like that?
He towered over my short frame with his silver hair swaying in the wind. We stood in a bubble world of silence of our own thoughts that wanted to speak out but locked in our eyes to merrily watch another for the rule breaker. Which happen to be me.
"Hey, I guess your Zero huh?" I said as I tipped on my toes and looked over his shoulders, "Where's Yuuki?" When I asked, I could see himself inertly cringed from the inside through is violet eyes.
"She's over at the Night class for some.. business." he said with a irritated voice.
Well I stuck out my hand to be shook as our first time meeting but I ended up with a gun and sach in my hand. When I looked up all I saw was him passing by me. I glared at his back 'WTF' look but he did not even care since he kept walking away, "HEY! WENT UP!" I shouted as I ran to him while putting all the stuff in the right places.
"If we are going to work together you could least h-"
"Than only way we can work together if I ride solo on my way and you on yours. Got it. Good." he stated cutting me off. When I didn't response, it only proved to him that I as okay with it and he turned around and headed his way. I stood there in disbelieve and annoyance boiling in my veins.
"FINE!" I retorted back and was heading my own way where it was.
*********** little bit later on*************
I was walking across the high wall that was looking over the courtyard where I was last time. I went through the moon dorms and sun dorm to find nothing hiding in the bushes or scaling down brick walls to make a gateway. From all the stories I heard from Hushui, all the girls in the Sun Dorm are crazy fans over the Moon Dorm with their polish looks and high stand-up. I laughed but I knew why they would be fans of them since Vampire have this intimidating glow which is also welcoming you to come closer and take a bit (or the other way around).
I already know about the same of the high nobles living here but I didn't expect to find out a Pure-blood is the headmaster of all of them. Yuuki was gushing about them when she was welcoming me this morning but I couldn't' really digestion any of it. All my nerves were high on the stands as I could feel vampire vibes crawling under my skin.
And at this moment, I could feel it. The tingle of vampire presence as I walked down the stairs towards the area as the pines towered on another-side by side- staring down on me as I walked towards the sound of squealing girls. I turned to the left and crouched down low as I creep my way towards crazy fan girls. I peered through the rustling thorn bushes to see two girls giggling at a digital camera.
Stealth my way out from behind the bushes and step towards the girls from behind planning on how to jump in and being serious or this.
"BOOGA BOOOGA!" I shouted as I watched the girls jump two feet in the air away from me.
They started screaming so loud that I could hear the trees rustling of scared birds. I started laughing out loud as I twirled the digital camera in my hand.
"H-h-how did you get that!" they both asked in unison.
I gave them a little smirk and spark of dark aura as I tucked the camera away in my pocket as I looked at them with a arch eyebrow, "I have my ways and one of my other way is dragging girls back to their dorms when they are sneaking around late at night." I took deathly steps towards them, "The easy way or the hard way."
I was expecting them to get scared and walking back but they broke down begging to get the camera back. I freaked when they both grabbed each of my ankle in their hand as fan-girls tears seeped into my socks. I kicked them off and gave them a warning if they don't get back I promise them they will NEVER see them again as I flashed a photo of a blonde blue eye boy drinking blood in a champagne glass.
They sniffled back their heartache and ran away to the Sun dorm. I let out a sighed of a relief and leaned against a pine tree looking up at the stars. All I could possibly think about how I dot here. Ending my somehow normal life to end up in this lonely one. I had a family that loves me that we're trying to protect us from vampires who only lived for was blood.
The love, happiness seemed like a sick twisted dream that is to good to be relieved. I tried hard fighting everything that got burned in my life but I only have one desire.
Going back in time to die with the family that left me to go to heaven.
****** nothing else happen later in the night ******
I changed out of my clothes and took a long hot shower. I threw on a lose tang top and neon red short and crawled into the soft covers and rocked myself to sleep off for 2 hours. Nothing I could possibly think about but all the nights a head of me.
NOTE:
sorry for this part of the story not being really interesting. I was trying to rush to the important part that is going in the next installment.
