Zero had left the set because he couldn't take it anymore. He hated that another boy was able to touch her like he has. And to add to his disgust, it was a vampire. An aristocrat that worked for Kaname.
He cursed and punched the wall, leaving a dent. When he saw Senri tickling Alessandra's almost bare body, he lost it. He left and didn't look back. He now stood in the hallway, leaning against the wall. He took deep breaths, calming himself down.
Zero chuckled quietly as he remembered a time where something like this happened. He recalled the time where he almost killed a boy for hugging her. The boy had a nerve to walk right up to her during their date and ask for her number. It pissed Zero off but he stayed calm, knowing Alessandra would kick his ass if he misbehaved in public.
Once she told the boy to leave he hugged her, right in front of Zero and he just snapped. He took a swing at the boy and wouldn't stop. He laughed softly as he remembered how Alessandra dragged him out of that place and wouldn't talk to him. It was absolute hell for him but Alessandra forgave him once he swallowed up his pride and apologized to the boy. Zero frowned as he remembered the boy's smug face as he apologized.
But Zero smiled as he thought of Alessandra's proud smile after that all happened. They made out in the hallway of the hospital right then and there, and got kicked out for 'disturbing the patients'. Zero smirked to himself, completely lost in the memory.
The sound of people shrieking and screaming filled his ears making him snap out of daze. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and walked towards the piercing noise. His eyes widened as he noticed it was coming from the stage room that he was previously in. He ran towards the double doors and slammed it open, the screams of panic coming to a halt.
People froze in their tracks and stared at the silver headed man as he entered the room. They separated into a path to let him through. Worry and fear settled in the pit of his stomach as he knew something bad had happened. But what?
"Zero!" Ren frantically jumped in front of him, blocking him from walking any farther. Zero tried to side step him but the persistent manager still stood in his way. It seemed like Ren was trying to hide something from behind him.
"Look, I advise you not to look ahead. Wait until the ambulance has-" the manager tried to warn but was harshly shoved to the side, not being able to finish his sentence. Zero had pushed him roughly away, wanting to find his beloved witch.
He froze dead in his tracks, staring ahead of him in shock. There lay Alessandra. Her vivid pink hair was sprawled out behind her, dripping wet from being drowned. She looked like a resting goddess, her eyelashes shielding her eye lids. Her gorgeous eyes were hidden under the look of eerie silence. Her chest had no sign of movement, no sign of her breathing evident. She was still, very still. Too still.
Two woman crowded around the peaceful girl, trying to somehow bring her back to life but it was no use. They couldn't do anything.
"Aless," Zero whispered in shock, not being able to find his voice. "Aless, please wake up."
He finally snapped out of it. He clenched his fists in anger, fury pulsing through his veins. He wanted the killer to pay. He wanted to shed blood.
"Who the hell did this!?" he snarled to the crowd around him. They frightened took a step back, not wanting to get caught up in the wrath of an angry hunter. No one answered his question.
"Tell me! Who did this to her!?"
He narrowed his eyes at every person in the room, daring them to step forward, to confess to the crimes they have committed, to pay for killing his Aless.
"I did," Senri said, a look of the usual boredom on his face. The dull look in his eyes covered up how guilty he really was. The way the vampire leaned against the couch where Alessandra rested nonchalantly just pissed Zero off. He should be apologizing but all he did was look like he didn't give a damn about what he did. This angered the hunter even farther.
Zero stalked towards him, shaking angrily, itching to let out his anger. Zero grabbed Senri by the collar, roughly tugging him closer to his sneering venomous eyes. His clenched fist was pulled back, ready to swing relentlessly, "You, filthy bastard! You will pay!"
As Zero was going to pound the vampire's face mercilessly, a tired but angelic voice stopped him.
"Why is it so loud? I'm trying to get some sleep here."
The silver headed hunter snapped his head towards the sound, knowing that voice from anywhere. His eyes widened in shock.
There lay Alessandra, rubbing her eyes sleepily as a cute yawn escaped her lips. She looked fine. Heck, she was practically glowing with life. She's alive.
"Aless?" he gasped, dropping the vampire to the floor. Zero rushed to her side, interrogating her immediately, "Are you hurt? You, okay? Of course you're hurt and not okay. You practically died! Let me take you to the hospital and-"
"Babe, I love you and all but can you please shut up for a second," Alessandra snapped, looking as scary as an innocent puppy. A painful migraine struck her temples and all she wanted was peace and quiet. Zero rolled his eyes, knowing how Alessandra is always grumpy when she wakes up.
Ren made everyone leave the room, except Senri, Zero and Alessandra. He too was confused but he knew that they needed privacy. In the meantime, he tried to calm down everyone who was panicking about Alessandra coming back to life. He even had to calm himself down.
"How are you still alive?" Senri questioned curiously. Zero narrowed his eyes at him suspiciously.
"Witches hearts stop beating when they have suffered a fatal incident," Alessandra explained, "In order to heal; we channel all our magic through our veins to heal everything but in order to do that, my heart stops for a little while."
Zero felt relief wash over him, knowing that Alessandra can't die that easily. She wasn't the small, frail girl he thought she was. She is a powerful witch that is almost invincible. Almost
Senri nodded in acknowledgement, "So witches cannot die?"
"No, we can die. You just have to rip out their heart before they wake up or perhaps burn the body," Alessandra stated, completely comfortable with talking about the ways to kill a witch. Even how to kill her.
"But don't get excited," she drawled in her sly and confident Romanian voice, "I don't die as easy as you think I can."
The aristocrat chuckled at her words. She seemed like a vulnerable little girl that could be shattered by a mere touch. But remember, don't judge a person by their looks. Looks can be deceiving. She is really a ruthless hunter as well as a strong witch that will be proven as not easy to kill.
Zero didn't like the fact that Senri now knew how to kill his Alessandra. What was worse was that he might to tell Kaname. This just worried him immensely.
"Now," Alessandra smirked, "What are we going to do about the people who think I'm a freaking zombie?"
o-o-o-o-o
The pink haired hunter pulled off her helmet and flipped her messy hair to the side. Zero followed her actions, tugging off the silver cap that protectively wrapped around his head. He tugged but grunted in frustration as it wouldn't come off.
"Tch, stupid fucking helmet," he muttered.
Alessandra giggled at his look of anger before helping him take it off. They securely chained the motorcycle to its post.
"I think your head is getting bigger," she teased as they walked towards the moon dorm. "You should deflate that ego of yours."
Zero rolled his eyes and scoffed but couldn't help the small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He took out the key to their room and unlocked it. He opened the door for Alessandra, being the perfect gentlemen she loved. He made his way to their bed before lying down, getting comfortable. He snatched the remote from the night stand before turning on the T.V, watching silently.
Alessandra walked towards the shower, the scent of chlorine on her making her feel really dirty. She took a quick shower, wanting to sleep early because of today's tiring events. Using her magic to bring her back to life is exhausting. She wanted nothing more than to fall asleep in Zero's protective arms.
The tired girl quickly got dressed into her silk night gown. The fabric made her feel extremely comfy and gave her the feeling of comforting warmth. Combing her hair then brushing her teeth, she exited their bathroom.
Soft snores escaped Zero's lips as he had fallen asleep while Alessandra was taking a shower. She laughed quietly at the fact he was cuddling against her pillow like it was actually her. How adorable is that? Aww.
Alessandra's smile vanished as she noticed a familiar spell book lying on the floor, under the table. In cursive letters, it read "Vampire Purification." She recalled the time she read the book and threw it across the room angrily. She didn't like the effects the spell could lead to. It must have slid under the table without her consent.
Sighing wearily, she reached for the book. Its thickness weighed her down but she grasped it tightly in her hands. Her fingers skimmed across the old pages before she came across the page she had read before. Level E Reverse Spell.
Level E Reverse Spell
Ingredients:
- Verbena Herb
- Holy Water
- ...
- ...
Alessandra scanned her eyes over the usual ingredients. Herbs, flower, bones, etc. Simple ingredients she knew where to find. But what she wasn't expecting was blood. Blood of a pure blood.
She inwardly cringed at the thought of using the blood of those vile creatures. She hated them with a passion. She knew she couldn't ask Lucian because he would surely say no. He practically wanted Zero to die and has no means to help him at all. She didn't know any other pure bloods though. But then, a name appeared in her mind.
Kaname Kuran.
The witch frowned at the name. She didn't know what his answer would be but she remembered what she had done to his fellow vampires: Hanabusa and Kain. She had almost killed them. Would he be angry at Alessandra for almost killing them?
But Kaname was the mysterious one. He was always secretive and unexpected. His actions always surprised her and perhaps of she got to know him, he would do this favor for her. Alessandra wasn't on best terms with him but she had to give it a shot. For Zero. She didn't want him to suffer as a Level E and lose control or die by the hands of a hunter. That hunter could be herself. She shuddered at the thought.
Alessandra remembered how she had found out that Yuki and Kaname were siblings. Perhaps if she could use the same spell on Kaname, she would learn more. But pure blood's mind was always hard to break. They had a powerful barrier surrounding their dark and traumatic past.
Maybe she could use that knowledge to her advantage. Use their past as leverage. If word got out that they were siblings and Yuki was human, evil vampires from all over the world would target her. Maybe even hunters who hate pure bloods. The witch was sure that Kaname would do anything to protect his beloved sister.
Alessandra felt uneasy but she knew what she had to do.
She had to black mail Kaname Kuran.
