Hey guys! SOOOOO Sorry for such a wait :( I got writer's block, and school is an ass, and I've been neglecting my friends, and did I mention that I love you guys?
Yes. I'm not drunk. *falls over* FUCK
Vampire knight is not mine
Zero kept running and didn't stop until he had dragged Rōzu into the safest place he knew; the stables, when she could walk by herself, Rōzu rounded on Zero
"What the hell is your problem!?" Zero was calm, even though he was still angry, hearing the voice again brought comfort to him
"There was something there" Rōzu recognized his grave tone and blinked
"What do you mean 'something'?" Zero collapsed into a soft pile of hay
"It looked dangerous" Rōzu sighed and leaned against a stall, the curious mare poked her head over and Rōzu nuzzled it
"You're lucky to have seen it; it must have been really powerful to have hidden its presence from us" she murmured thoughtfully, Zero gave an affirmative grunt and looked up at the ceiling, shifting slightly in the hay, something brushed him and he rolled onto his side to pick it up, it was a small piece of paper, on it were words;
Blutig. Juicy. Fleischig. Mine.
hören die Schreie, wenn sie sterben.
Zahn reißen und Krallen reißen.
die süßeste Fleisch von lebendigem Fleisch.
bald verkostet werden, nicht mehr wollte.
Ich werde für süße junge Fleisch kommen,
und hübsch, mit denen zur Deckung zu verstecken
Nichts ist sicher von der Tochter der Hölle.
His brow furrowed in confusion, he flipped it around to show Rōzu
"Do you have any idea what this means?" she shook her head
"No, maybe the Chairman will know" Zero looked back at the paper
"Yeah, maybe" he said distractedly, reading the note again, he stashed it away in his jacket, reminding himself to talk to the Chairman later, he sank back into the hay, trying to relax his tense muscles, that strange creature of the shadows kept haunting his mind, that damn curiosity making him wonder what it was, if it even belonged in the same world they lived in.
The Chairman held the ominous note up to a candle, Zero's annoyed face was half illuminated by the flickering orange flame
"Any why are you using a candle?" The Chairman grinned annoyingly
"It creates mood!" he squinted through his glasses to read it and Zero rolled his eyes, The Chairman's brow furrowed
"It's a poem in German" he shuddered "Such a ghastly poem" Zero was growing more impatient by the minute
"What does it say?!" The Chairman shuddered again and read
"Bloody. Juicy. Meaty. Mine.
Hear the screams as they die.
Tooth and Claw, tear, tear!
The sweetest meat of living flesh.
Soon be tasted, no longer wanted
I will come for sweet young meat,
and pretty hide with which to cover,
Nothing is safe from the daughter of hell" Zero stopped breathing
"The daughter of hell would be a demon, but why would they write something like this?" The Chairman shook his head
"Zero, you don't understand. This poem is a demon's note to the one it hunts, to make their prey fear them, and to watch them squirm. I have a feeling…that both you and Rōzu are being hunted" Zero lost his breath again
"Hang on; you're saying that the creature I saw was the same creature that wrote this?" The Chairman dipped his head
"Most likely. It was a miracle that you two got away" Zero swallowed
"Demons never rely on luck, or miracles. I think that it intended for us to find the note, and even have this conversation, it wants to see fear" the chairman looked back at the note
"Then we don't show it fear" Zero bit his lip
"Demons do not like not getting what they want" the Chairman grimaced and held up the note
"We should burn this before Rōzu sees it" one word came into view on the paper, invisible before the candlelight illuminated it. The word was Hϋndin. The chairman stopped and frowned at the paper
"Zero, Koshka means 'female cat' correct?" Zero nodded
"Yeah, it's Russian, why?" The chairman gestured him closer so he saw the word
"Because this is the German word for 'female dog' do you think they might be connected?"
"A demon that has it out for Rōzu and I, writes in German and has the name 'female dog'? I'd be surprised if they weren't"
Meanwhile in Hell
Henrī approached a lower demon, one of the weakest kinds, its only abilities were possession of certain objects and it didn't even have a physical form. The humans would class it as a level 1 demon, but all other demons classed it as level 0.0000000001. In fact, if any demons above level 2 were lumped together with it, they would probably fall into a murderous rage. In large groups they were given the name 'poltergeists' and thought to be troublesome ghosts, the demon was possessing a dead tree, a ghostly voice spoke
"What do you seek, from such a low brother?" Henrī snickered
"Please, if you were centuries older and even half as powerful as myself, then I might possibly consider you my brother" The demon didn't answer, so Henrī continued
"Have you seen that damn troublesome woman? Koshka will kill me if she gets hurt" an aura of fear surrounded the tree
"Do you mean…the daughter of hell?" Henrī nodded and the tree shook as if in an invisible breeze
"No, but there are whispers that she has travelled to the Overworld" Henrī gave a long growl of frustration
"I don't understand women, and I never will" he snarled, moving towards a pool of lava, all he could do now was watch
"Damn mortal, if he hadn't killed me, I would go after her" he mumbled, of course, he would never admit that he was killed by a mortal, his pride wouldn't let him. He knelt by the lava pool and focused his mind on the demon he was 'babysitting' an image of her formed in the lava, stalking a young woman the way a tiger stalks its prey, he watched as the daughter of hell pounced and snapped the human's neck before she had the chance to scream, then she tore a mouthful of flesh from the body, tossing her head back and swallowing the meat like an animal, she worked at stripping the meat from the mortal's bone, then she stood up and licked her bloody lips, wiping blood and meat from her chin with a hand, then she snarled and in one leap bounded half a kilometre towards the school, she continued using these leaps until she reached her destination, an evil smile twisted at her lips as she watched her prey
"I'm coming for you…" She whispered.
Zero didn't like this. He didn't like it one bit, it was part of his new job to hunt down demons, but he felt like he was killing Koshka, with every demon he slayed, he felt like he was slowly killing his own image of Koshka, the only thing he had left of her, save that scrapbook he had in his room. Once or twice people had tried to look at it, but Zero would give them the best glare he could muster and they would retreat immediately. He watched as the demon snarled at him in pain, they weren't like the vampires, most of the vampires tried to plead with him before they died, the demons would fight until they physically could no longer fight, and they died with burning hatred in their eyes, hatred of him, a pang hit his heart as the demon watched him with dying eyes of flame, eyes condemning him to hell, did Koshka have those eyes? Was that her expression when she died? With eyes darkened by hate and a mouth twisted in pain? He watched as the demon became a pile of bones, his ears caught a whisper on the wind
"I'm coming for you…" a shiver ran down his spine and he looked around, he knew it was fruitless, but he looked anyway, hoping to see a sign of his next opponent, he caught a glimpse of something far away, it was mostly hidden by a tree trunk, but it couldn't have been….he would know it anywhere….it wasn't so uncommon, but there was just something about it that was so unique….he would have dismissed it as a mirage, but it can't have been….that silky black hair, flying in the wind, he only knew of one with hair like that….
Koshka….
Does this make up for some of my writer's blockiness?
Zero: STOP MINDFUCKING ME! HOW CAN KOSHKA BE HERE WHEN SHE'S DEAD!?
Me: *sings* ~aaaaah, do what you want cos a pirate is free, you are a pirate~
Zero: *puts me into headlock and noogies me* IS KOSHKA DEAD OR NOT?!
Me: please Review, favorite and follow, also my question for this chapter: why do you think Koshka protects the demon lady? *Kicks Zero in the shins and runs away, laughing like a maniac*
Love ya all! *Still [not] drunk*
