The Vampire Knights
Chapter 11
Begins Here...
The Vampires eyes... Turned blood-red. A vampire's TRUE nature... is extremely savage and cruel... Eyes with a blood-coloured luster... THEY'RE the eyes of a vampire... The vampire's nails turned into CLAWS... I'm scared...
"Get away from me!" Words echoed through my head...
"AHHHHHHH!" My own voice... Where... Where WAS I...?
"Daddy!" I... I know where I am... These are the memories... The memories I locked away...
"You... You BEAST! You KILLED him!" No... Please... Not these memories... Please...
"I hate you! I'll kill every ONE of you BEASTS!"
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I screamed as I woke up in bed. I gasped and gasped...
"Somebody wake me from this nightmare..." I whispered to myself. Suddenly Zero walked through the door as he opened it.
"Are you ok?" He asked me.
"Yeah... It was just a nightmare..." I told him truthfully.
"...What was it about...?" He asked politely.
"None of your business." I replied coldly.
"Sorry..." Zero said as he headed for the door.
"No... it's ok... I was being mean... I'm sorry... It's just that... No one understands me... And No one has loved me for years..." I explained to him.
"...Ok..." Zero said as he closed the door behind him. I felt like He'd just ignored me... Yeah... "understand" my ASS! I thought in my rage. I got changed while I calmed myself down. I expected someone to walk in on me... But thankfully, no one DID. As I put my jacket on I looked in the mirror. I decided to wear my onyx chocker, then I went to the headmaster's office to see how he was doing after yesterday.
"HELLLLLLOOOO!" Kaien said in a joyful tone when he saw me.
"Hey... I came to see how you were doing after yesterday..." I explained to him calmly.
"Oh, I'm doing QUITE alright dear. Really, you shouldn't worry about me so much." He told me. I smiled happily.
"Do you want to know more...?" I asked cautiously.
"Yes... I would... Just let me find my notebook..." He said as he ploughed through his drawers.
"Thanks." I said sincerely. When Kaien had his notebook and pen at the ready I began. "Well, the Roman numerals from 1 to 10 are;" I began as I drew them down. "I, II, III, IIII, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X, though that wasn't until people stopped using fingers and toes... " I explained.
"Uhhhhh... Very interesting... Do go on." Kaien begged me.
"How about... The way our numbers evolved...?" I asked him.
"Ah, that sounds good! Do tell me!" He pushed. I giggled slightly.
"Well, today's familiar numerals derive from the early Hindu script and Arabic numerals of Moorish Spain, but obviously with a few subsequent European refinements. The round dot at the end of some rows represents the symbol of zero, whose importance the Arabs recognised in one of the most trenchant sentences in mathematical history: "When (In subtraction) nothing is left over, then write the little circle so that the place doesn't remain empty..."" I continued explain to him. The headmaster smiled at me and I continued. "And then there's the Persians... And this one's a bit complicated... Basically, Whenever the Persians wished to express the number 5, 011, 167 they wrote it as: 23, 11, 59, 27- Which means 23 x 60 to the power of 3 + 11 x 60 to the power of 2 + 59 x 60 (4, 968, 000 + 39, 600 + 3, 540 + 27 = 5, 011, 167)" I finished.
"Um... Ok... I'll remember that... Just after I remember my own name..." The headmaster joked. I giggled.
"Anyway... I'd better get to class... I guess..." I said as I headed for the door.
"Actually... Could you go into town for a few things...?" The headmaster suddenly asked me.
"Oh, yeah, sure! Besides, I have to go pick up my new execution list." I said truthfully.
"Ok, here's the list." Kaien told me. "Oh, but you'll need someone to go with, so I asked Zero... I hope you don't mind..." He added.
"Meh, I'm having a bad, bad day anyway..." I said as I walked out the door and closed it behind me. "Zero's going with me" my ASS! I thought. I know I was disobeying the headmaster, but 1, I didn't want to hang out with a vampire right now, which would lead to 2, I was going to vent my anger and stress on some level Es ass...
When I got into town without Zero I immediately went to the Hunter Society and got my new list. I checked it and I had quite a few buggers to kill... But that didn't stop me, I just went straight to a Level E hot spot. An alley... Hopping to see one of the buggers on my list. The first one I looked for was Someone called "Shingaku". I searched and searched for him but I didn't find him, so I gave up. I looked at my watch and saw the time.
"I'd better get the stuff on that list." I thought out loud.
After I did all the shopping I saw someone I was looking for! Shingaku! I dropped everything and walked up to him.
"Hello, I'm here to kill you." I told him coldly. He hideously laughed, spat on my cheek and dashed off. Gotta LOVE the level Es these days... I thought sarcastically. I wiped the spit off my face and ran after him. As I chased Shingaku into an alley he practically BOUNCED off the walls! Jumping back and forth between the two walls like they were made of rubber... It made wonder where level Es got their energy from... I shot at his hands (With the hand gun I carry around for work a.k.a Hunter jobs) and he fell to the ground in pain, blood covered the walls from where I'd shot him.
"Great... Not alone did I just get shot by a girl... But I got shot by a FAMOUS girl... "Glass-eye Alice"." Shingaku admitted sadly.
"Yes... Yes you did..." I told him as I shot him in the stomach.
"UGH..." He wailed as he clutched his stomach. "What did I do to deserve to get YOU?" Shingaku asked me. I shot his feet and answered as I pulled out his papers. Those papers told me what this freak had done and what his main escape strategies were.
"You killed a 12 month old baby and her mother... Then you killed a pregnant women in her 30s and then killed an entire house hold of innocent people..." I explained to him as I read his papers.
"God... When you say it like that... I... I guess that WAS pretty mean of me..." He hesitated. I smiled at him and as he smiled back I shot him in the heart... After he had turned to dust I slowly murmured to myself,
"And another level E relieved from their insanity... I'm glad he understood what he had done was wrong..."
The Sweet Dream Still
