Alexander... You said that you learned how to use and say the ghost jump in all of the ancient languages.."
"Yes."
"Teach them to me."
-----
"Shit!" cried Kiana as she stared at Edward wide eyed.
"Edward.. Ed.. he's.. disappearing..." said Kiana as she pointed at Edward with her finger. Edward's body started to fade away, and disappear from sight.
-----
Soon, half the room began to fill up with water, and it was cold and also strong enough to lift Alexander and Kiana up. Very quickly, three quarters of the room was already filled with the cold water, and it reached up both Alexander's and Kiana's water rose by every second, threatening to replace all the air from the room with water. Kiana took a deep breath, and the water rose up all the way and filled the room. Soon, the water couldn't hold itself in the tight room, and pushed itself in another direction, causing another hole in the wall. Kiana and Alexander both got pushed through the hole by the force of the water. Everything around them all spun, and Kiana lost her direction, and a hard piece of the wall slammed into the side of her forehead, causing blood to rush out because of the small bruise on her right side of her forehead.
Soon, everything went black around her.
"K......Kin........Kian............Kain.......Kiane......"
Kiana shot open her eyes and looked around her. She was standing in a room filled with darkness. Everything.....pitch black.
Her long hair swept across her back as she moved her head side to side, looking for any light that can lead out of this place. She sniffed. She smelt something. The rusty smell of blood. That very smell that can can take all of her humanity away from her. She frowned. Her head ached. She detested this smell. This delicious smell that belonged to the food that she needed to survive with, that now smells like shit to Kiana. She had never hated this smell so much. Why now?
"Kiana....."
Kiana spun around, hearing a familiar voice.
"Kiana...." Kiana spun around to the left, then to the right, searching for where the voice is coming from. She blinked hard as her head began to spun even more. Faster and harder. The ache in her head worsened and felt like her head was about to split in half. Her stomach began to ache. She felt sick. Her muscles tensed.
"Kiana.......Kiana.......Kiana....." the voice grew louder, and every time that it did, Kiana's condition worsened. Kiana used one hand to clutch her head, and the other wrapped around her stomach. She tilted her head towards the ground, and kept her eyes shut tight.
"Kiana...." the voice felt like it was right infront of Kiana. She can feel it's breath.
"Kiana...." Kiana looked up straight ahead. A strange figure began to form. A female. It looked like it was pulling itself out of the darkness. First came the head, then the shoulders to the stomach, but not it's legs
It's long messy dark red hair covered it's face. That stench coming from it, it sickened Kiana. The 'thing' looked up, eyes wide, and face rotting, blood covering it in spots. Then, streams of red tears came from it's eyes. Blood. It was crying blood.
Kiana's eyes widened in horror.
"Y-you...." Kiana whimpered. She reconized it. She knows who it is...
"Kiana....." it's voice cracked. It reached out for Kiana. Kiana couldn't stand it's stench. Her stomach.... this feeling..... seeing this thing...it sickened her. Her head ache drove Kiana insane, and her stomach threatening to release acid.
Kiana finally couldn't take it anymore. The thing touched her shoulder. Then, Kiana collasped onto her knees, throwing up, acid stinging her throat.
GASP
Kiana's eyes shot wide open, sweat pouring down her forehead. She gasped for breath. Her chest heaved up and down as she panted from the nightmare.
Kiana sat up, realizing that she wasn't in the room anymore. She looked around, and realized that she was in another room. It was dark around her, but she can still see. She felt the texture under her hand.
A bed.
She bit her lower lip. She pulled her legs to her chest and hugged them, burying her head there, letting out a slight whimper.
"So your finally awake." Kiana's head shot up. She looked to her left, and saw Alexander, sitting in a chair beside her bed. Kiana hestitated to reply.
"....Yeah..."
"Why so distant all of a sudden?" Alexander asked.
".........It's nothing........." Alexander frowned. Then his expression softened into a sympathetic look.
".....You had a nightmare again, didn't you." Kiana gasped a bit, and looked away from Alexander, biting her lower lip hard, drawing blood from it.
"What was it about? Is it your usual one?" asked Alexander as he put his hand on Kiana's shoulder. She closed her eyes shut.
"It was different this time."
"How different?"
"I felt her this time. It felt so real. It lasted longer and the effects were worse...." Kiana hugged her legs tighter together. Kiana's body shook in fear. Then she spun her head and body around, facing Alexander.
"It felt like she's in this very place! It felt like she was alive! Like she was looking for me! But for another reason!" Kiana gripped Alexander's sleeve.
"Kiana.... I know that memory has haunted you for the rest of you life, and you have managed to bare with it for this long." He gently took Kiana's hand off his sleeve. Kiana looked down.
"......Is she alive?" She whispered out.
".........No.........." he replied. Alexander placed his hand on her head, and the other one on the bed for balance. Kiana did nothing but stare forward.
"No, she's not alive anymore. You don't have to be scared." he whispered in her ear. Kiana remained silent. Alexander pulled away.
"Now, we better get you dry." he said as he grinn ed at Kiana who was still soaking wet and got the bed wet from her clothes and hair.
"And also we gotta clean your forehead up. The blood has dried up a bit, but your healing ability slowed down since you used up most of your sense, so we gotta bandage it up." Kiana looked up at Alexander. She had completely forgot about her forehead. She touched the area with her fingertips and winced as it stung when the fingertips made connection with the wound.
Kiana sat up properly and sighed.
"Here. You can go to that wardrobe. Elizabeth has some clothes that might fit you. Although I don't remember her ever wearing them...." Alexander stood up, and walked towards the door.
"I'll go out. You can change and when your done, I'll help you with the bandaging." he said. The door closed with a click.
Kiana stood up and walked towards the big wardrobe, and opened it. The clothes were neatly sorted, The jackets, long-sleeves and all that were hung up, and the pants where in the drawers. She scanned through all the clothes and picked a black shirt, wore a vest and a dark coloured jean-jacket over everything. Then she took out scarlet pants. She put everything on, and left her other clothes in the wardrobe.
"Hey. Alexander. I'm done." she said. She heard the door open and Alexander stepped into the room.
"Nice choice." he walked over to a table and got out some bandages.
"Do you keep bandages everywhere?" Kiana asked.
"Yeah. When Elizabeth and I were little, we would always get hurt. Our healing abilities were very strong. We were barely able to heal a scratch, so we decided to put bandages in every room, incase we get hurt." Kiana shook her head.
"Sounds like you were a trouble- making kid when you were young."
"I was. A bigger one than you can expect." he grinned.
"And you still are." Kiana smirked at him. Alexander frowned.
"And what's THAT suppose to mean?" he asked as he finished bandaging Kiana's forehead. He just covered that small spot and brushed her bangs so that they would cover it.
"Nothing." Alexander stood up and gently punched Kiana's head.
"What was that for?"
"Nothing." replied Alexander. "Now come on. We gotta look for pip-squeak Ed." Kiana chuckled.
"Now your talking like me." She stood up and followed Alexander out of the room.
"Edward. It's time to wake up dear." Elizabeth gently tapped Edward on the shoulder. Edward blinked a few times to adjust to the light in the room. He sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Edward, dear. How are you feeling?" Elizabeth gave Edward a motherly-smile.
"Uh....fine, but a bit sleepy....." he put his hand down and noticed his left hand had a bracelet.
"What's this?" he asked as he studied the jewel on it.
"Oh? Ah, yes. I gave you this bracelet to protect you. From your sense going over their limits. Then you felt dizzy and fainted." Elizabeth leaned forward and touched Edward's necklace.
"See this?" Edward felt the necklace with his fingertips. He studied the large red stone on it.
"You must never take this off. It is for your own safety. You have to promise me that Edward. Promise me that you would not take this necklace and bracelet off." Edward looked at Elizabeth for a few moments, then spoke. " I promise."
"Good. Now come along Edward. There is something I need to show you." Edward stood up and followed Elizabeth out of the room, and down the stairs.
"Argh.....Edward's starting to move again." groaned Kiana as she frowned at the piece of paper.
"He dissappeared and reappeared in a different room?" Alexander looked back over his shoulder to look at Kiana.
"No, he's actually moving this time. As in walking or whatever." Kiana sighed, "And your sis is with him. I think she's leading him somewhere."
"Where?"
"Um......I don't know." said Kiana as she looked up at Alexander.
"What do you mean you don't know? Doesn't it say on the map?" he asked as he took the map and looked at it himself.
"It isn't labelled on the map. See?" Kiana peered over to look at the map.
"It seems like they're entering the room right now. Come on. It's right next to the...Weapon....Room.....you guys have a weapon room?"
"What did you expect? We're pure-bloods after all!" Alexander sighed and handed the paper back to Kiana who shoved it into her pocket. "Let's get going."
"Edward, watch your step now, dear. There are many tubes and wires, so be careful." Elizabeth entered the room and Edward followed her. He examined the room in awe. There were glass tubes and tanks almost everywhere in the room, and the water inside was green, making the room green. There were tables and closets that were labelled, and also vyer high-tech keyboards and devices. Then something caught his circles.
"Mother, why are there-"
"Sh...Edward. We do not need to wake them up." Elizabeth smiled at him. Wake who up? Edward's eyes widened as he noticed creatures and people in the tanks and glass tubes of green water.
"What are they?" he asked in a quiet voice.
"I'll explain to you later, dear. First, there is something I need to show you." Elizabeth stopped at one of the devices and pushed different buttons. Then, the empty walls pushed in opposite directions, revealing another room that was very similar to the one they were in. They entered the room, and the walls closed. They continued walking and stopped.
"Here Edward. Look up." Edward looked up and saw two large glass tubes filled with green water. Then his eyes widened at what were inside them. A human being. Both female. He looked at the one of the right. A girl with light blonde hair that covered her chest and lower. Her eyes were closed and she floated in the water.
"This is Alice. I found her almost dying in an alley, and now I am trying to save her. She is a vampire like us, and today is the day she is able to come out all healed." Elizabeth turned her head to the left and Edward did the same. He gasped and his eyes widened.
"K-Kiana....." within the glass tube of green water, there was a girl with long hair tied in a low ponytail that floated in the water and cover her chest and the thighs. She looked exactly like Kiana. Edward walked forward and touched the glass with his finger tips, whispering her name.
"Edward, dear. This...is Raphyrel." Edward turned his head around.
"What do you mean Raphyrel? This is Kiana!" he raised his voice a tad-bit.
"She is....Kiana's twin sister. The younger one." she said, " And Alice over there is Kiana's best-friend who she thought was dead. Kiana was devastated when she thought Alice was dead, which left her a haunting memory."
Elizabeth walked over to one of the devices and pushed a button. Then, the tube of water where Kiana's twin sister was in lifted up, which made the water come out, and Raphyrel. Raphyrel lied on the floor, and slowly sat up, looking at the ground. Edward took off his jacket and put it around Raphyrel's shoulders. She grasped the jacket and wrapped it around her tight.
"R-Raphyrel?" Edward tried her name out, seeing if she will react. It took her only a few seconds to respond.
"...Yeah...?" she said.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Free. But cold." Edward sighed. Raphyrel's voice was similar to Kiana's voice, but a bit higher, as Kiana's voice almost as low as Edward's.
"Let's get you some clothes." Edward stood up and offered his hand to Raphyrel. Raphyrel continued to look at the ground and took one hand off the jacket, and took Edward's offer. Edward gently pulled her up, and Raphyrel stumbled a bit, and grasped Edward's arm gently for balance.
"Edward, I'll get Raphyrel her clothes. Can you help Alice over there? Do the same I did with Raphyrel." Elizabeth helped Raphyrel walk to the exit of the room. Edward stood there, staring at Alice.
"So this is Kiana's best-friend...huh?" Ed walked over and looked at all the buttons.
"Oh great. I don't know which one to press." Edward sighed as he scanned for a button that he thought would be the right one.
Tap Tap Tap
Edward looked up at Alice's tank. She was awake. She caught Edward's attention, and then pointed to a different device. Edward walked over there and noticed a button that said "Release." He pointed to it with a wondering look, and Alice nodded her head. Edward pressed the button, and the water came running out, and Alice slipping onto the floor.
Alice coughed as she finally got to breath proper air, and not some sort of water that was like air.
"Alice?" he said as he watched Alice calm her fits of coughing. Alice stood up, her long blonde hair still sticking to her body, cover all of her front side of her body.
"Let's go, I don't want to stay cold for long." Alice began walking. Edward followed. They walked up the stairs, and stopped at the room Raphyrel and Elizabeth were in. Edward stopped as Alice went into the room and closed the door behind her. He sighed and stood next to the door for a few minutes.
"Wait....how can Alice know the way of mansion? She's been sealed in that place since she got here." Just as he wondered to himself quietly, the door clicked open. He stood up straight when he saw Elizabeth walk out of the room.
"Edward dear, have you been waiting out here this whole time?" Edward nodded. "Such a good boy." Elizabeth smiled. Then he noticed two figures walking out of the room.
"Raphyrel, Alice, you two are done?" Elizabeth turned around and smiled at the two. Edward couldn't help but stare at Raphyrel, looking for this one simple detail that she did have that Kiana didn't or she didn't have the Kiana does. She looked exactly alike to Kiana. Her hair was tied very low the same way as Kiana, and she wore a red shirt with a black vest. Her pants were red, and she had black boots. Kiana fixed her colar, not noticing Edward's gaze. Then along came Alice next to Raphyrel. Alice wore her hair a bit higher, and wore a black leather jacket that was shorter than her waist, and dark leather pants, and boots.
"Hey. You with the blond hair. What's your name?" Alice leaned onto the wall and crossed her arms, waiting for his reply. Raphyrel looked at Alice, and then stared back at Edward.
"My name is Edward Elric." he replied.
"Edward Elric, huh? Let me ask you something. How old are you?" Raphyrel asked.
"...16." he replied. Raphyrel and Alice blinked a few times.
"Six...teen?" they said together. Alice stood up straight, and Raphyrel sighed and crossed her arms.
"And yet you're that short." Raphyrel stood up straight and stared at him in disappointment.
"Don't Call me short! What do you wanna call me next?! A half pin-sized pipsqueak midget!?!?" he growled at Raphyrel as she continued to look at Edward, boredom, disappointment and annoyance written all over her face. Mostly boredom and disappointment. She walked over to him and flicked his head with her finger.
"Half Pin-Sized Pipsqueak Midget." Raphyrel turned around and Alice followed, Elizabeth leading the way.
"Edward, dear. You can go to your room now. Make sure to get some rest if you want." Elizabeth smiled at him and then turned around, smirking. Raphyrel and Alice only stared at the back of Elizabeth's head.
Edward frowned, watching Alice, Raphyrel and Elizabeth grow out of his sight. He sighed.
"That Raphyrel is exactly like Kiana. She insults me about my height! Both of them!" Edward remained pissed for a few seconds, then a soft, worried expression grew on his face.
"... I wonder how Kiana is doing?" he looked down at the ground, remembering that Kiana was suppose to be in the underground passage. "Kiana...where are you?"
Meanwhile, Kiana was in the halls of the mansion, looking at her map, trying to make it tell the truth. She looked up to the ceiling. "Damn you Ed... why did you have to give me so much trouble?" she sighed. "Edward...Where are you?" Kiana folded the paper and sat down onto the floor, and covered her face, shaking her head.
I have been having trouble thinking of some more chapters!! Please take it easy on me if the chapters suck.
