Chapter 10

I woke up the next morning with a headache. I sat up on my bed and my head hurt even more. I groaned in pain and I closed my eyes wishing the pain went away. "Kami?" I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes and turned my head seeing Yori Chan looking at me worriedly. "My head hurts," I told her. "Would you like me to get you some medicine from the Infirmary?" Yori Chan asked me. "Yeah, that might work," I said, "Guess I should wait to go hunting with Yagari Sensei today." "I'm sure he'll understand with you not feeling so well," Yori said as she was getting her things together. "Yeah," I said and I turned over on my side. "I'll be back with the medicine," Yori Chan said as I heard the door behind me close.

I lay there for a while. I felt sweat on my head and neck. I knew I was having a fever. 'What is there for me to do?' I thought. I turn on my other side and the pillow didn't feel any cooler. The rest of my body was already shivering from the cold. 'Damn it! I haven't gotten sick in a while and now I am,' I thought as I rolled back on the other side. The pillow was still warm. I got frustrated even more which made my headache even worse. I flipped my pillow over and it felt slight cooler. To me it was better than nothing. I closed my eyes and wished that I were better.

My pillow felt warmer and I rolled to the other side again, but wounded up on the floor this time. "Ow," I said as I just lay there. The floor felt cool, to my head it felt nice, to the rest of me, not so much. I was shivering as I laid there. I heard the door open and I looked up, lifting my head from the floor to find Yori with the chairman. I placed my head back on the floor.

I saw my dad rush to me and pick me up. "Should she still take the medicine," Yori Chan asked him as he started to walk towards the door. "Yeah, she'll take them when we get to my house," the chairman said stopping to tell her. Then he continued to walk carrying me. "Dad," I said quietly lifting my eyes to him. "Shhh," he told me, "We'll get you to your room to rest." "But…Yagari Sensei…" I tried to tell him but he cut me off. "I will talk to him about your training," he said, "Just close your eyes and rest for now," he told me.

I did what he told me. I fell asleep and then when I woke up, I had the worst stomach pain ever. I groaned and hugged my knees hoping the pain would go away. My headache was still there, but it was fading. "Da…dad," I tried to say. I rolled on my over side and still hugging my knees. No one was in the room with me. I blinked a few times. I don't know why but I started to get up and when I did I ran into the bathroom. I got sick and I leaned against the wall waiting if I need to use the toilet again. I placed my hands on my head and just sat there.

I heard someone come in and heard a gasp. I moved my hands from my head and looked up and saw Yori looking at me. "I think I have the flue," I told her. "You think?" she asked me looking at me with a worried look still. "Yeah," I said. I knew that she was kidding but she was also serious. "You finished here?" Yori asked me. "I don't know," I said and then I realized something, "Oh Yori Chan I'm sorry!"

She looked at my confused and said, "Sorry for what?" I looked at her and saw her eyes were locked on mine and then I looked at the toilet. "Oh," Yori Chan said as he kind of chuckled, "I don't need to use it, although your father and Zero might. I don't think they need to, but I was making sure because I put a bucket in your room."

I sighed and said, "Yeah, do you think you could find a candle to cover the smell?" Yori Chan looked at the wall and said, "I think that I can try to find one." She left the room for a few minutes and came back with a big candle in her hand and matches in the other. "I think this will work," she said smiling. She placed the candle on a container and lit it.

"There," she said, "Soon it will smell better." I place a hand on my stomach. "You okay?" She asked me. "Yeah, I feel a little bit better," I told her. "Well let me help you get back to your room," she said as she started to come near me and held her hand out to me. I placed one hand on the floor and grabbed Yori Chan's hand. She helped me up and we walked into my bedroom.

I laid back down on my bed as saw the bucket that was on the little dresser next to my bed. I looked back over at Yori Chan who was placing the covers to my bed over me. "Do you know where the chairman is?" I asked her. "He left to talk with Yagari Sensei about training," Yori Chan said. "What about Zero?" I asked her.

I wasn't sure if Zero wants me to stop being a vampire hunter but its what I chose. What's wrong with it? "He's gone out into the city. He's been there all day," she answered me. "How long was I asleep for," I asked her. "Well it's about four, so hours," she said. I chuckled at her and then laid on my side thinking, 'Zero is really mad at me. Great.'

"Well I'll leave you to rest," Yori Chan said, "I'll leave the door open so that I can just walk by and know that you're okay." I nodded to her and she left the room. I close my eyes and ready to just fall asleep. I wanted to wake up the next morning feeling better. Sure enough, I feel asleep.

I was in my room, and I wasn't alone. I looked around and I saw nothing but blackness and pair of red eyes. I swung the Artemis at the vampire. "Who are you!"? I demanded. "Hello little Kam," a female voice spoke. I gasped. 'No. No, it can't be.' I thought. "Aunt Morgan," I spoke with hate. "Now, now Kami. I'm sure my sister taught you well then to have an attitude," she spoke as she came out form the shadows with a smile on her face. "Mom did teach me well," I told her, "better then you taught my cousins!" "You really want to be disciplined don't you?" She asked me more seriously.

"Your discipline?" I asked her, "is beating." "Hm," she made a little noise, "Maybe I can teach you a few things that mommy didn't teach." My eyes widened in fear. She started to run towards me. I ran from her with a vampire weapon in my hand. When I got a little ways down the hall, I saw the chandelier a little ways away from the stairs. I got on the flat railings and jump towards it. The Artemis caught the chandelier. My hands slipped an inch or two on the Artemis. I looked at my Aunt Morgan. She tried to jump but didn't make it. She tried jumping to grab a hold of me and she didn't. But then she jumped higher and grabbed my leg. The memory of her dragging my mother's body away ran in my head from my Aunt's touch. I scream and let go of the Artemis.

I threw myself sitting up in my bed, breathing heavily from the nightmare I had. I heard footsteps running down the hallway. I tried to steady my breathing, at least calm down for now. "Kami?" I knew it was Yori Chan. "I just had a bad dream." I told her. "You've been having them often," I heard a male voice tell me. I looked up and saw Zero looking at me with a sad face. "Yeah," I said quietly. Zero walked over to me and sat on the edge of my bed. I looked at him and wondered if he was still upset with me. He placed a wet wash cloth on my head. "You still have a fever," he told me. I placed my hand on my head and felt that my skin was hot and wet. I sighed and said, "Yeah, I guess I do."

"Yori Chan can you go back to Kami's dorm and get her some clean clothes to wear tomorrow," Zero told her. She nodded and left us alone. It felt awkward with Zero now. He must still be mad at me, if not a lot then a little. Zero turned back to me and placed the washcloth back on my head. "I've made some soup for you. It should help with the flue," he told me. I looked away turning my head, it made Zero unable to keep the washcloth on my forehead. 'He's acting like he's not mad, but he really is. I really miss the Zero the first day I met him. I liked that Zero.' I thought. "What's wrong?" he asked me. "Nothing," I answered still looking away from him. I felt like that if I did, he'd hate me. I knew better then that but that's what it felt like.

"You're sad and upset face is there for no reason?" he asked me. I shook my head, "It's nothing, I just had a bad dream that my…" my voice trailed off to what I just realized. 'The woman that drug my mother away,' I thought, 'Could it be my own Aunt Morgan? The woman back in my house before she left looked familiar. But why would she dot his to me? Did she really hate my mother that much?' Questions filled my head and I could hear a voice talking to me.

"Kami?" Zero asked me. "It's that woman," I said. I heard Zero gasp and he must have known what I was talking about. "What Kam? What happened in your dream?" Zero asked me putting his hand on my shoulder and sounding like he was starting to have a nickname for me. "The woman appeared in my dream, but she also was my Aunt Morgan," I stared at the wall and remembered the reason for why I was to never communicate with her. The memory flashed back in my head.

"They're gonna start to wonder why they can't communicate with Morgan," my mother told my father with Timmy and I listening to their conversation in the hallway as they are in the living room. "We'll tell them soon," I heard my dad say. I looked at Timmy with a confused face. But he was just as confused as I was. "When did your she get arrested?" my dad asked. "A few days ago. I got a call from the prison and Morgan told me that she was just disciplining her kids. Kami and Timmy can never go to her," my mom said. "We'll have to change our will then," my dad told her.

"Aunt Morgan is my mother's sister. My mother used to let Yuut…I mean, Timmy, talk to her when we were really little. But after a few years of not talking to her, we all thought something went wrong. There was something wrong. Timmy and I over heard our parents talking to each other peacefully for once in the house. We were wondering what it was that they were talking about, so we snuck to the end of the hallway close to the family room. Mom and dad were talking about Aunt Morgan and how she got her kids taken away from her for abusing them," I continued telling Zero the story, "Now, years later, my parents are dead, and I had a dream that it was my Aunt Morgan's fault for their deaths." I looked at Zero with a sad look and I saw his face filled with sadness and probably hate.
