Chapter 3 Awakening

Death

What is death?

Death is the absence of warmth. When my other half was mercilessly ripped from my life by the person I once loved and called my father. I watched as he killed my love in cold blood.

Death. It is something that we purebloods don't fear for we cannot die unless we wish it so. If we already lived through everything that this pointless life has to offer we will become an empty shell.

However, I have yet to live through the other half of this pointless life. I've already experienced the loneliness, sadness and grief it had to offer. However I have yet to experience true happiness, joy, and love. It was teasingly dangled in front of me then mercilessly snatched away as quickly as it came.

What is love? What is death? Two seemly simple questions that I have been unable to answer. But when I do finally come to that answer someone will have changed my point of view once again.

Have you ever heard of the curse that pleads the purebloods?

No?

Well then perhaps I shall tell you. The curse is rather... simple? Yet complicated for those who are not purebloods. It states that those who fall in love with a pureblood will become rather obsessed. They will act out of character. They will become possessive, easily jealous and very protective. They won't be the same person whom you fell in love with.

And you see, I didn't listen to the warnings. I didn't listen to anyone! In fact, I was too stubborn to listen, and so I paid the price.

Was it worth it you ask? Yes, it was worth it. I learned what it felt like to be loved. And did I love him? I'm not sure... To be honest no matter how many people tell me 'You'll want to die for them' or 'you'll want to be near them all the time and know all about them' I just can't imagine it. I can't imagine myself wanting to die for somebody else. I can't imagine actually wanting to learn about someone. So I wouldn't be able to know or tell you right now if I ever truly cared about him.

But, that's just right now. I might just be able to tell you in the future, what it's like to love and to be loved. What's it's like to want to be near the person who makes you feel whole. So I'll promise you this: if I do find someone I love you'll be the first to know...

And so with this let the games begin...

Pain. It burns. My throat feels as if it has been set on fire. I try to move my arms but it feels like they are made of led.

"She's waking up Luke! She finally is waking up!" I hear a soft angelic voice say.

Who? Who's waking up? I try to ask but my throats to dry.

"Back up Erick you'll scare her if your that close." A stronger voice says. "She may be awakening but all her memories might not be there." He continued.

Who she's? Perhaps someone important. If so I must get up or father will get angry. However I can't move.

"It hurts!" I managed to mumble out. It burns. Please make it go away. Make the pain go away.

"It seems she going through the withdraw" I once again hear the angelic voice speak, now known as Erick.

"Hn," the other one said. I could feel one of them get closer to me and lean on the bed as my body slides a little towards him.

Blood! The scent of blood engulfs me and my hunger increases tenfold, as well does the sensation in my throat. My eyes snap open to find a brown haired man over me. His dark blue eyes looking into mine, however, I didn't spend long looking at the man for the cut on his neck called to me. Before I realized what was going on, my body moved on its own. I pulled the man towards me and tilted his head back so I could access his neck. His pale neck with a small trail of blood running down his neck was tempting me and I let it gladly as I leaned down and bit. The taste of honey flowed into my mouth and down my throat.

I didn't stop. I didn't want to stop. But, I knew I had to stop. If I didn't I would kill him. I regrettably pulled back from the blissful heaven and fell back onto the bed. I felt sleep overcome me once again as one last thought entered my mind.

The burning sensation was gone.

Should everything I do for you go unnoticed, I would be okay with that. Should I have the choice to be the sun or moon in your life, I would choose the moon so I can shine on you during your darkest hour when your sun isn't around. For you are my sun and moon. You came to me when I should have died. You came to me not expecting anything in return but my friendship.

"If people refuse to accept you, I'll just have to accept you even more," were the first words you ever spoke to me. Perhaps it's because of those words or the gentle smile and hand you offered me that made me love you so?

My name is Luke. Just Luke. I have discarded my last name when Sakura found me.

I walk through what's left of the once magnificent palace that belonged to the Rue family. The halls are used and worn. The paint worn and faded with stains of dried blood. Hand painted pictures of the family's generations destroyed to the point of not being able to tell who it was. Cracks here and there along the walls and ceiling shows that it withstood the natural elements time and time again. Windows boarded up with wood so only little natural light could get through the cracks.

A once lively place now looks like a haunted house. I continue down the path I've taken every day to Sakura room. Erick, my cousin, and I have been waiting nearly 200 years for our dear lady to awaken. Betrayed by her father, she was forced into a deep slumber.

I came to a large oak door and opened it. Through the dimly light room I could see Erick practically lying on top of Sakura. His golden brown hair covering most of his face from my sight up, however I saw a wide grin that played on his lips.

"She's waking up Luke! She finally is waking up!" He exclaimed. His honey brown eyes filled with joy.

Mentally I rolled my eyes and sighed. When will he grow up?

"Back up Erick you'll scare her if your that close," I say in a commanding voice. "She may be awakening but all her memories might not be there."

Yes. All her memories might not be there. I know this. She might not remember me. Remember who she is... or was. With that long of a sleep, her memories might be jumbled up in one big mess. She might not even be able to tell what was a dream or reality. At least not right away.

As I took away step toward her I noticed Erick must have messed with her hair, due to her raven locks now being out of the bun it was originally in. "It hurts," she whispered out. Her delicate face that always had a warm smile on it when she was awake, was now in a small frown.

"It seems she going through the withdraw," I heard Erick say.

"Hn," was all I said in response. Of course she would go into the withdrawal. She hasn't had any blood for over 2 century's.

I took ahold of Erick's forearm and gently pushed his back. As I unbuttoned the first two buttons on my dark blue dress shirt, I leaned on the bed. I saw as her body slide a little bit toward my own body and smirked slightly to myself. Taking the pocket knife I always have out of my front right pocket I cut myself on my neck.

At first there was no reply till her eyes shot open. Her sky blue eyes stared at me for a second till it got tainted with red. Her eyes focused on my cut and lifted her body towards me. She then grabbed on to my neck and tilted it to the side to get better access and bit in. I could hear a faint growl of annoyance from Erick about him being the one who wanted to give his blood to her, but I decided to ignore him.

When I felt her struggle to stop my hidden smirk grew. At least she didn't want to kill me. When she finally let go she back on the bed and fell asleep once again.

Shaking my head and sighing to myself I buttoned up my shirt and started for the door. "Come on Erick. Let us let our lady sleep some more before she has to stay awake for good. Shall we?"

Grumbling in protest, Erick still moved for the door and was out before Luke. Blowing out the candles so she could sleep in the darkness, Luke casted one last glance at Sakura's sleeping form.

"Sweet dreams my lady," he said softly and closed the door.
