I have no excuse to why I've been absent for so long other than school and I lost my touch with this story, but I'm back, kind of, and I hope I didn't lose you all.

Twisted Wind Chapter 4

Sandra couldn't believe her ears when she heard Liza, her dear sweet Liza uttered those dreadful words.

"I can't possibly," Sandra started.

Liza got on her knees, "You must I don't think I can live with myself knowing that all of you might get killed because of my father." She said crying. "My father took it too far and he must pay therefore our rightful punishment should either be a slow painful death or cursed."

Sandra understood where Liza was coming from, but it didn't make it any less difficult.

"I," Sandra was lost for words she couldn't possibly reject such a noble cause. "I'll do it."

Liza smiled as she humbly thanked her friend.

"However on one condition," Liza was tilted her head in wonder. "I will make the curse; however, I won't use it unless you promise to talk to your father one last time to cease his actions."

"But," Liza started.

"That's the only way I'll comply to your wishes."

…

Liza made her way back to the castle with one thing on her mind: To get her father to stop the war.

Liza approached the castle and was immediately flanked by the guards. Her heart thud, she feared that she may be too late.

"Liza," her father Sir Mire, came from the castle. "What could you possibly be doing in that village that you would constantly disobey me from leaving the castle?"

"People," she said. "I want to be around people."

Her dad huff, "Such nonsense we have people at your disposal here."

Liza sighed, "They're merely servants here to please you and me, their doing their job. I want real friends."

"Then I'll find you friends." Her dad bartered as they entered the castle.

"That's not what I want." Liza sighed finding the conversation droll and pointless. "Father since you're here does that mean the war is not going to happen?"

"Of course it will my daughter," her father said looking insanely happy. "I want to make this word monster free so my daughter would be safe."

She frowned, "I am safe father."

Her father went mad, "No you're not." He jerked her up by her arm and dragged her to her room. "You're not safe until every one of those godforsaken creatures are dead."He threw her into her room and locked the door."

Liza scrambled to her window knowing full well somebody would be guarding her door. She looked outside her window room. It was no use she couldn't escape. There was nothing to hang on to. And if she was to jump, she would die on impact.

She promised Sandra that she would meet her the day after tomorrow to tell her the news. Now that she is unable to leave her room, her family would be cursed.

She, strangely enough wasn't upset, she felt content.

Sorry Sandra for making you do this... Forgive me…

…

Ichiru scoffed at the files that were in front of him. Honestly did these civilians think we weren't going to check their background?

"I wonder who leaked the secret about my utopia?" He mused silently to himself. "Honestly, I don't want stupid people in my town."

Sebastian came in with a batch of magnolias, somehow his rose garden started sprouting those flowers and they could only think of Zero who might've been the cause of it.

Ichiru sighed, "More flowers? At this rate our home is going to be a flower field." Sebastian smiled.

"It livens the place up more don't you think Master Kiryuu?" The butler set the flowers on his master desk actually pleased that more flowers other than roses popped up. He rather not admit it, but he was afraid of the roses. They literally pulsated with life and they were warm it was unnatural for him.

Ichiru flipped through the rest of his stack before sighing. "I am the wind and I hear everything. Like how I can hear people conspiring against me, like how I can hear people bitching about how miserable their lives are, or what people are doing in their daily lives. I don't know all, see all, hear all because I'm a psychic, I know all because of the wind."

Sebastian was surprised to hear his master; the word couldn't come to him at the moment, but dull or slightly ticked.

"Honestly, I don't care about anybody except for my brother," Ichiru said. "Call it obsession, but I love my brother and I will do anything for him. That's why I want to make a paradise for him. Surrounded by good people and good people only. I want this place to be a heaven on earth since he, we, are cursed. Though this curse makes me wonder though. To be cursed as the thing we hate the most yet, we're vampires graced with eternity and youth. I don't see much of a curse than sucking people blood. It was horrible at first, but you learn to get over it. Have Charles been able to find anything yet?"

"He found very little in the Hunters Library, however he states that he needs to be of higher ranking if he wants to look at the Archives, but that's about it."

Ichiru hissed, they must know something. If it's hidden in the archives then must know something. They have too, then again, nobody knows much about the Kiryu clan and Kuran haven't said anything other than the fact that they gave up on my brother which is all good.

"Surely there must be some way to get into those archives without getting being questioned," Ichiru, hmmed, and kept trying to think of somebody he could trust and/ or was already affiliated with the Hunters Association. "Tell Charles to go as deep as he can without getting in trouble and I'll find somebody to do the rest." Sebastian turned to leave not before they both witness something stunning; bluebells grew right out of the magnolias. Ichiru laughed a bit, "It's rather scary with what he could do with his powers."

Sebastian added dryly, "He'll be even scarier when he's able to hone his powers."

Ichiru could only agree to that.

…

As Sandra watch her village burn she only curse and scream in agony and anger, but as she remember the promise Liza made her keep, she could only cry as well.

"I'm sorry, Liza."

"I'm sorry."

…...

Well what do you think?
