Behind this smile, I hold

My tears.

Chapter five

Hexa

For I mimic the sirens, singing their song of morphine.

The world always seemed so quiet when it snowed, when the air was cold and crisp, the sky that beautiful shade of grey. You could see on forever, like the road never ended. It almost made me feel happy. Never realized that could happen when you ran, left your fears behind like a frightened child. Zero would've never run. But this time he did. Like getting away would solve the problems. He said it was to protect me, and I knew he would stick to that goal even if it meant risking his life.

Frosted breath hung in the air. "Zero?

His eyes silently shifted over to me, and I refocused my attention to the glossed path. "Why do we run?"

Face grave and eyes cold, he responded reluctantly. "I've already told you."

I kept quiet, as did Zero, he kept his eyes foreword and emotionless.

"This is the place where my parents were buried." He didn't move, just kept walking. "Someone's there."

"A vampire?"

"No."

"Human then." I inspected his face.

He looked up. "I don't know what she is." Porcelain fingers swinging the gate open, he stepped forth.

Muffled cries echoed in my ears, gaze shifting to the supple frame of a young girl knelt against the wall of the mausoleum; back pressed to the tile. From the distance you could see tears dripping from the tip of her nose, head angled down. "Is that…?"

"Yes." He didn't hesitate, continuing foreword.

I followed obediently, even if I guessed he wanted me to stay behind. Our feet crunched the fresh snow beneath us, and she raised her head as we approached; standing, her glossy, disconnected eyes stared at us, long and hard. Any trace of sorrow and tears was gone, and replaced with an unknown hatred. Her crimson lips contrasted against her pale skin, glossy black tresses hanging below her shoulders.

"Why have you come here?" That questioned was avoided by the both of us.

"Are you familiar with one, Kaname Kuran?" Zero asked instead.

She smirked, gaze enchanted and intoxicating. Similar to his. "Who is not familiar, with the pureblooded prince?"

"He means, personally." I answered for him. Forcing my face to go blank, showing no feeling to her, and her lightened hatred filled eyes.

"It would be an honor to meet one of the Kuran Family." She smiled to me now, eyelids narrowing, inspecting me closely. My features, the way I moved, almost like a scientist would an unknown object.

Zero pushed me aside, interrupting her assessment. "What are you?" I could see his fingers jump with anxiety, longing to grip at his gun.

"I'm a Nevaeh."

I stepped forth again. "Nevaeh?"

"Its heaven spelled backwards." I watched Zero eye her devious smile, onyx eyes darkening. "What's the opposite of heaven?" She chuckled at our silence.

"Hell." Zero rasped; the harsh ring of metal on metal leaking into the quiet of the world. He cocked the pistol, and aimed at her temple.

"That weapon will do me no harm." She hissed. "I'm trapped as an immortal. Heaven don't want me and Hell thinks I'll take over. Besides, your pistol is only for killing vampires. Am I correct?" Her features lightened with a sickening amused grin.

A golden chain slid from her ashen neck, she let it fall, and the locket at the end snapped open. I stared, as it began to play a quiet tune, mesmerizing music it was, I fell into Zero. Lowering his gun, he wrapped his arms loosely around my neck; fighting the crimson away from his gaze. I felt myself slide down, back propped against Zero's leg.

"What are you doing to her?" He glared, face grave.

Silence. I forced my eyes open, revealing glossy, disconnected irises. Trying to keep focused on what they were saying.

"She looks like a human, but surely doesn't react like one."

Zero's eyes flickered down to me, and back up again. "What do you mean?"

She lifted my wrist, but I yanked it away.

"What's your name?" He changed the question.

The girl looked up amused. "Hexa."

I do very easily see how this chapter could be confusing. So, if you have any questions ask me it won't do you any good if you sit there being confused. However, some may be cleared up later. Yeah… It got bad at the end, I was running out of ideas for this chapter. Well, whatever. Enjoy! XD
