Okay this is chapter seven. The next chapter will tell about what happens to Maria. I would really love reviews or comments. Thank you in advance. This chapter is kind of short and in it ends in a very troubling scene. Either way, enjoy the chapter! :)

Chapter 7- Kurenai

Maria tossed and turned on the bed. She woke up with a start. An alarm was blaring. She tossed off the covers and stood up. She almost tripped. She gripped the dresser that was next to the bed. She looked and realized someone had changed her into a nightdress. She looked at the dresser and saw a glass. It was filled with fresh blood. She grabbed it and drank the blood; it dripped down her chin. She wiped her mouth and jumped, startled. She heard a scream. She covered her ears and tried to block it. What was going on? The window exploded; glass fell on the ground like a shower. Maria backed away from the window, terrified

"Heh, heh, I found a meal. I want your sweet blood."

Maria ran to the door and tried to open it. The Level E grabbed her by the neck and started to pull her away.

"No!" She screamed in fear as the Level E started to pull her out to the window.

"No! Help! Somebody!" Maria sobbed as she struggled.

"NOO!"


"Ahhhhh!"

The scream ran through the hallway. Aido ran out of his new room. The scream had come from Maria's room. He shook off the ghostly vision. It couldn't be possible. He had seen Kiryu in the coffin not long ago. That boy looked exactly like Zero except he was a miniature version. He burst into Maria's room. Her eyes were wide with terror as she struggled against a person. It was a Level E. The Level E's arm was around Maria's neck, trying to pull her out the window. How did a Level E get up here? It was the third floor . . . unless, it had climbed up. Aido raised his hand and made a spear. He flung it and it hit his target; it hit the head square on the forehead. Aido smiled triumphantly and then the smiled slipped off his face like it had been burned. The Level E smiled an evil grin before it turned to dust. Aido immediately realized why and cursed. The Level E had managed, before dying, to push Maria. Time seemed to slow down; it felt like slow motion. Aido rushed forward, his heart thumped against his chest. Maria's eyes widened and her mouth opened to form a scream.

"Aido!" They were the last words he heard before she fell out the window.

"No! Maria!"
