Secret of Blue Eyes

Chapter Nine: Part Two:Silent Screams

"Yeah…that's great" Serenity replied, really uninterested with Tea's ramblings about her future plans. It was getting annoying. And Ms. Friendship kept bragging. She sighed as she leaned on her hands. She couldn't help think of where Joey was.

"…hopefully I'll save up enough money to make it to America…" Tea finished ecstatically. She gave a sigh of ponder as she lay on her stomach and leaned on her hands, like Serenity. She swayed her legs, smiling brightly. Serenity gave a small smile. Tea looked at her with concern, finally noticing of how quiet she was.

"Do…you want to talk…now?" Tea asked meekly yet urging her. Ms. Friendship was also nosy when it came to her friends. Serenity shook her head and looked away. Tea sighed inwardly, frustrated.

"Do you wanna play chess?" Serenity asked, noticing the chess board that was tucked underneath her desk. Tea also looked at the chess board.

"Okay…"

Serenity got up and got the chess board. It's been a long time since she had played chess. She sat down on the floor and Tea was still plopped on her stomach; obviously she was lazy. Setting the pieces in the right places she started.

"Your move" Serenity told her. Tea stretched out her arm to grab her pawn but instead lost her balance and fell down.

"Ouch…" she muttered as she pried of the piece of her bottom. She groaned slightly as she felt the pieces lingering on her body. Serenity was amused but she felt sorry for herself that she had a lazy, idiotic friend.

"Are you going to play on the floor now?" Serenity asked. Tea nodded and started putting the pieces in their original places. Good thing they had just started playing.

They started off again, Serenity going first. The game went on, not really much of a match. Tea was playing poorly while Serenity played strategically. Tea merely stared at her; she had such a serious face. Her eyes were narrowed and her eyebrows were furrowed. Tea blinked at her.

"Serenity this isn't some kind of champion-"

"Check" Serenity said cutting her off. Obviously this girl was skilled while her opponent was as pea brained as a fly. Tea played for fun and really just moved the pieces around not really caring while Serenity was thinking strategically and her eyes told everyone that she was focused. Randomly, Tea moved her knight. Serenity rolled her eyes, emphasizing that she had made a stupid move. "Checkmate" Serenity stated blankly. "Again?"

"Uh…sure. Why not…" Tea mumbled. The pieces were assembled once more and the game was off again. Critical thinking was going on, in Serenity's part; Tea didn't put up much effort. Again, with a move of her bishop, Serenity won and toppled over her king. Tea pouted at her victory while Serenity smiled.

'I wish I had a real opponent'

Tea sighed and leaned back against the bed. She clutched her stomach and let out a little groan. "Do you have anything to eat?" she asked sheepishly.

"I'll go bring some more snacks…k?" Serenity got up and could feel ache drown her. She winced but then shook it off. A glistening full moon was shining brightly down at the people, walking on the sidewalk. She looked at the clock on her nightstand; it read seven fifteen.

She went out the door. Tea looked at the plain room. Only thing that brightened up the room was the stuffed animals that were pink, red, blue, or white. She smiled. She then saw on her nightstand a diary, which wasn't locked to its full extent. Tea gaped at it for some time. It's as if the diary was calling out to her saying…Read me! Read me! I hold urgent information! Tea frowned and turned away, knowing that she would be violating her friend's privacy. Serenity trusted her and she intended to keep it that way.

Then again, it could hold information about Joey's and Serenity's fight. And she could try to help her cope with it. She nodded gleefully. Then again, Serenity would never trust her again. She groaned looking away.

'No! If…Serenity wants me to help her…she would've asked by now. She must want to be alone'

But the diary was so tempting. It called on to her. With hesitating anymore, she snatched it. She began randomly flipping through pages, skimming here and there. Putting her finger on a certain page, she began to read very quickly.

Dear Diary,

I'm going to go straight to the point: Joey and I got into a fight. Usually we would have arguments or something like that, but this time we had a fight. And it was one of the most intense fights I have ever had with him(maybe its because it was our first one). He did most of the arguing. I was really stupid; I stood there like an idiot, taking it. When I did look up to him, I immediately looked back down. His eyes were burning with a rage I've never seen inside of him before. It was scary; it was like looking into Kaiba's crimson eyes.

"Huh?" Tea muttered mindlessly.

In rage, he left and he hasn't been back. I don't think he went to classes today and neither did I. I couldn't concentrate. I've been in my room all day. I'm just sitting on my bed, thinking. Thinking about Joey, my life, Kaiba…I know I have been sitting at my room all day but I feel exhausted for some reason. Bye…

-Serenity

Tea sighed and closed the book. She smacked her forehead in stupidity.

'Of course it's because of Kaiba...duh!'

"But what about that crimson eyes part?" Tea wondered aloud. A figure of speech…? She thought rationally. Maybe there's more information in here…

Opening the blue and black diary once more, she skimmed through it, reading small passages.

"Uh…I got a job…Kaiba…Kaiba…vampire!" Tea muttered aloud.


Kaiba Mansion…

He sighed looking into the night sky. This routine was getting boring and irritating. Curse him…he thought venomously and bitterly. His life now was bitter. He looked at the fine polished window that was replicating his complexion; he hated it. The only benefit it had was that it was intimidating. Crimson orbs stared back at him as well as a pale, ivory, texture. Graceful, black, leather-like wings greeted his back as well as his entire attire. He hated this form, every bit of it. It resembled him yes, but in truth, he wasn't a monster as many people called him. He just acted that way to scare them and not to let them get the best of him, meaning he didn't want people to take advantage of his good side.

His good side was hidden to people like I mentioned before but not to his brother. His brother was special; family…flesh and blood. He was the only person Kaiba could trust. But there were certain things that were hidden from Mokuba. One exactly; the vampire situation. He was afraid that Mokuba would never accept the fact that he was a vampire. Yes Seto Kaiba was afraid. Afraid that his own flesh and blood would reject him. It was a painful fact that Mokuba would never understand, especially at his age.

He sighed, shaking the thoughts off. He was this creature and he would have to deal with it. His wings suddenly stood up with a 'whoosh' and he soared into the night sky, blending in with it very well. His vampire partner made him evil, making him want to devour one of the life source of humans; blood. He couldn't control it. That's why he tried to stay away from Mokuba at night. He felt guilt –from killing people- crying out to him in a corner of his mind but his partner easily overpowered the guilt. Very soon he would turn into a blood sucking demon, a full one.

He never believed in magical beliefs, but until this vampire thing came to him, he believed every word. He looked through ancient books found by his research team and did what the books told him to (some of them) but it never worked. But he was still determined to find the cure. And he would find it.

Humans were still wandering around, either drunk or hassling around, mostly men. Well, he would to the human race a favor by killing worthless, harassing, scum balls.


Wheeler Residence...

Her face was completely drained of color, leaving a deathly, pale complexion. She felt the urge to throw up in fright but held back.

'She…She…She's…just…j-j-just p-playing…'

But who would write mislead, lying thoughts in their diary? An unusual person that's who. Was Serenity Wheeler unusual? Nope, well we don't know that for a fact but we know of how she acts and she acts very sane. Tea closed the book tightly, not wanting to read the horrifying thoughts anymore. Her face remained the same, pale and deathly.

"Tea I got the snacks-" Serenity said as she walked in but stopped mid-way. Confusion was all over the auburn haired girl and then it was replaced with pure anger. "What the fuck are you doing!" she exploded in rage as she hastily snatched the diary, dropping the snacks in the process. She didn't care if she used vulgar language. This was the time for it. She hugged it close to her chest as if it were her life. It was, in a way her life, her deepest feelings and events were in that little blue and black book. Tea, still numb in her state of shock didn't reply or motion anything.

This made Serenity fume even more.

"HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE AND SAY NOTHING!" she screamed. "GET OUT!" she said, pointing a finger at the door. Tea snapped out of her trance and looked at Serenity; a sorry written all over her face, a sorry that Serenity didn't accept. Tea numbly stood up and went out the door, her head hanging in remorse. Once she heard the soft click of the main door close she broke out into a fit of hot tears. She couldn't control her obsessive crying; it came out of her freely. As you can see, she's very sensitive about this. Who wouldn't be? I mean your friend just invaded your privacy. They read about your inner most secrets in a book. That's why it's called a diary. It's a record of private events and emotions that a person feels. Her so called friend didn't even care about her thoughts and just read it. And there was stuff inside it that she didn't want anyone to know. Like Kaiba's secret.

Secret of blue eyes is what she called it. But that's not the point. The point is that Tea might have read…

A piercing scream interrupted her rambling thoughts. The scream then was muffled up into a silent scream. She was afraid of this. The atmosphere around her was so silent. The only thing she could hear was her heartbeat, beating rapidly. Her tears came to halt and she gave out a small whimper. Optimism hit her at once. This is what she always did when she was afraid. She tried to find benefits.

'Get a grip Serenity…Maybe its just some perverted guy…'

The air was still as well her breath. She stopped her pathetic whimpering and kept quiet, afraid of the result of what would happen if she didn't.


Valentine Residence...

"Joseph…" Mai said in a firm manner. "…I think you should go home now. Talk it out with Serenity. You can't stay in my house forever you know. And how about Serenity? Think of how she feels?"

"Mai…" Joey uttered, frustrated. "…It's not dat simple. I mean, what if I can't trust her no mo'?" Mai rolled her eyes at his comment and smacked him in irritation.

"How can you say that!" She screamed in fury. Joey looked at her dumbfounded. "She's your sister! She didn't listen to ya hun cause she knew you would act so idiotic and irrational" she said in a calm manner now. She took a deep breath and leaned back on her couch.

"You think so?"

"I know so…" she said with a small smile. He sighed and also leaned back on her couch. He was finally defeated. All afternoon Mai had argued with him and finally she had been able to talk some sense into him.

"Alright…I'll go talk wit her…" he got up stretching as he did so. He looked back at the couch; a print of his bottom was there. He gave a nervous smile and Mai laughed lightly.

"Night-" he started but was stopped when soft lips pressed on to his. "What was that for?" he sputtered, catching his breath.

"What…I can't kiss you?" she retorted.

"Uh…never mind…" he said turning away, hiding his blush. She saw it and giggled lightly.


Wheeler Residence...

Nothing was still heard and she still kept quiet. She saw her window; the curtains were pulled wide open. Silently, she crept over to it making sure she was quiet as a mouse. She shut it tight, grasping it.

'Maybe I'm being paranoid…'

"Wheeler…" a cold emotionless voice greeted her. She shrieked and held the curtains tighter afraid of what would happen if she turned around. She didn't have to guess who it was; it was really obvious. What scared her was how he got in and knowing for a fact that he was in his 'freak' form. She shuddered violently and he saw this but shrugged it off. "Turn around Wheeler…" he stated, the same tone filling her ears. She was to numb to turn around. Her head was propped down and her frail hands were still clutching the blinds as if it were her life. "Wheeler…" he growled obviously irritated. She still didn't move. If she wouldn't come to him, he would come to her.

She could hear his footsteps hit the carpet and she whimpered silently. She could feel his figure behind her very close; his breath was on her neck, a place where she really didn't want him to be near. She clutched the curtains even tighter her knuckles turning white.

"Turn around Wheeler…" he said in a monotone manner. There was no tone in his voice which made him even more intimidating. She made no movement; it's as if she were frozen in fear. He was beyond irritated with her so he forced her to look at him. She gave out a shriek as she saw the limp figure hoisted up on his shoulder. He dropped her and she squeaked. Hot tears were coming out of her eyes once again and he wasn't fazed at all. He gave a crude smirk instead. He then leaned closed to her; they were inches away from the lips. They were so close that she could see the stain of her former friend's blood on his lips. She whimpered and her shoulders shook uncontrollably. The dripping blood then fell on to the floor and he wiped off the remains.

"T-T-Tea…?" she squeaked. He stroked her cheek, wiping away the tear in the process.

"You'll soon join her. You didn't live up to you word…as I expected" he whispered, his voice dripping with animosity.

"I-I-I…d-d-didn't t-tell h-her-"

"Save it" he said cutting her off very quickly. "I gave you a chance and you didn't-" he said firmly and sharply. He had curiosity boil up in him but he shrugged it off. He stopped; someone else was here.

"Serenity we need to tak…" Joey cried out as the door hit the wall. Kaiba hissed and looked at the door.

"Jo-" she cried out but it was quickly muffled up with Kaiba's hand. He didn't need anyone else to know. Quickly scooping up Serenity and Tea he climbed out the window. Serenity's screams were still muffled up as they flew away to the night sky.

"Serenity…" he called out, oblivious of what just happened. He opened random doors that were still unlocked but found nothing. He came upon her room and opened it, knowing that he would be violating her privacy but he went anyway, really wanting to talk. "Serenity…" he softly cried out. He heard nothing. The room was still and quiet. He didn't like the looks of this. Where could she be? Where else could she be? She was no where in the house. He furrowed his eyebrows in worry. He entered the room fully. Nothing was found. The room was clean as a whistle. He scanned the floor for any objects, anything that told him that she was still here. But…nothing. Suddenly his eyes were staring at something. He found something but not what he really wanted it to be. He gasped slightly at the red drop of crimson.


"W-W-Where a-a-are y-you taking m-me?" she squeaked finally. They were flying at an alarming rate in the night sky. She held on to him tightly thinking she had no other choice if she didn't want to fall. She was still crying but the night air severed her cheeks very much making her eyes and cheeks puffy and red. She looked terrible.

"Somewhere…private. But first…I have to do a little errand…" he said as he dropped Tea without a care into the dark lake. She whimpered and cried even more.

'T-Tea…I'm sorry…this is my entire fault…'

"Damn right it is. You and your little friend wouldn't be in this situation if you just kept your mouth shut.

"H-How d-did you know-"

"I can read minds…idiot" he stated simply yet harshly.

"Oh…" she meekly stated. What else could she say? The poor girl was in the wrath of Kaiba and she couldn't get out of it. She was moments away from death and she couldn't say goody bye to the one she was really sorry for.

"I could kill you now…but it wouldn't be fun" he said, another crude smirk appearing on his face. All she could do was cry helplessly as she awaited her soon to be death.

'Joey…I'm…I'm…s-s-s-sorry…'

They had arrived at his mansion, it also being so intimidating with its dark shadows swallowing her as they entered. They were at his eloquent office, the same office of where she found out his secret. She regretted everything she had done for the past couple weeks and days, especially when she accepted the job from Kaiba. She looked at her hands, they were still holding something that she and Kaiba hadn't noticed; her diary. She then turned her head to what was beyond the office; she was sure she heard footsteps. She looked away, thinking she was being paranoid and mental from fear. It didn't matter what happened to her now, no one was here or so she thought.

Kaiba pinned her against the wall, choking her throat. Maybe…I do deserve this she thought.

"How did Gardner know…" he hissed, the curiosity returning back to him. He only asked because he wanted to watch her squirm.

"S-S-She…r-read…my d-diary…" she said choking the words out.

"Well then…learn how to keep things in places where no one can find it …oh wait…there won't be a next time…" he said snatching the diary from her. He threw it aside and stared into her frightened eyes. Just as she envisioned in her dream, he swooped down and bit her neck, drinking her blood contently. It was sweet…to him. She tried to scream but it was muffled up with the palm of his hand again. He devoured her blood with great intensity, liking very much of how it tasted. She began to feel drowsy and immediately color was drained from her face. Suddenly the door burst open, the doorknob hitting the wall with great force. Kaiba immediately took his white- now stained- fangs out of her neck and turned to look at the intruder. The hallway was dim but not dim enough from him to see who it was.

"S-S-Set-t-to…" Mokuba sputtered, his gray blue eyes filled with confusion and fear.
