CHAPTER 11
(ZERO'S P.O.V)
As I picked at my food in the cafeteria, I stared at Yui who sat on the far left. I watched on as she blushed, and giggled with Ayato as he whispered in her ear.
How could she be calm after what happened at the festival of blood?.
More importantly what did Ayato do to her after he took her home?.
Even though I wasn't friends with Ayato, I knew what sort of vampire he was. That's why when Yui had told me her life story, I wasn't surprised. I could see it in his eyes. Sadistic and cruel. It had been three days since we had met up. Which is why I was worried about her.
Yui was very good at hiding how she truly felt, or how she was being treated. As I pushed aside my plate, I realized she wasn't the only person I was worried about. I was also worried about Staz and myself. We had come face to face with Karl Heinz….
One of the most deadliest vampires….
What was he doing with Yui's father?, and why was Yui's dad turned?.
All these questions left me feeling uneasy.
I had a bad feeling about this…
I glanced up in time to see Yui excusing herself, and heading for the door.
PERFECT…
I thought to myself as I followed a good distance behind. It was now or never to catch her since Ayato was around her a lot more.
(STAZ'S P.O.V)
I suddenly halted as I began to growl.
Someone was following me while I was walking in the school garden.
"I know that you're following me, why don't you fucking cowards just come out and face me." Knowing very well who they were by their scent. "Now that's no way to talk to your pureblood brother." Laito stated stepping out of the shadows.
"You're not my brother." I growled.
"Staz Charlie Blood," Ayato hissed stepping out of the shadows. "You're messing with someone that belongs to me." "What's the matter Sakamaki?." I sneered.
"Pissed off that Yui won't fuck you willingly?."
"Oh she does every god damn day." Ayato said matter a factly.
"You think you can just walk in, and do what you please, you fucking piece of shit."
"That's right," I grinned broadly.
"Come at me bro," I opened my hands wishing that he would.
All I needed to was an excuse to smash his fucking face in again. If it's a rematch Ayato wanted then he'll gladly give it to him!.
"We're about to come at you," Laito said opening the book he had in his hand, and grinned at me.
"Or better yet: TEAR YOU APART!" Laito exclaimed turning the book to face me.
IT WAS TOO LATE…
I should have known it was a powerful spellbook in Laito's hand.
I should have known Ayato would have tried this, being the snake that he is…
The moment Laito turned the spellbook on me I couldn't move. I struggled inwardly to no avail.
"You asked for this Staz," Ayato grinned slowly walking up to me.
"Now," he said standing directly in front of me. He slowly raised his left hand, as it began to glow. "Feel the wrath of the Sakamaki brothers."
(YUI'S P.O.V)
I just slipped out the doors of the cafeteria. I sighed in exhaustion. It wasn't easy keeping up an appearance. Suddenly I felt two strong hands grab me by the shoulder, and the next thing I knew I wasn't in the hall anymore, but in an empty classroom.
I swung around to see Zero.
"Really Zero?!," I asked a bit annoyed.
"This is the only way. I can't take any chances, especially with Ayato watching you so closely."
There was silence between us for a while.
"Are you ok?," Zero asked in concern.
"Did Ayato punish you for that night? (Festival of blood)."
"No…"I said breaking down and running into his arms. This time the tears were for real.
"Oh God I was so scared!," I wailed holding him tight.
"It's okay, you have to hold it together Yui, if want to come out of this alive." Zero comforted me.
"I'm trying!," I said sniffing now. He clasped my both cheeks with his hands.
"Your gonna get out of this okay." He assured.
Before I could answer we both heard shouting in the hallway…
We both headed to the door. Students were sprinting to the outside.
"Oh my God!,"one girl exclaimed in excitement to a friend.
"I hear it's Staz they found!."
We glanced at one another in alarm, and quickly followed the other students.
We ran through the courtyard heading towards the back.
We pushed through the crowd eagered to see what Staz had gotten himself into this time.
I WISH I HADN'T SEEN IT…
Because once I did, I couldn't unsee it.
Zero was also frozen in place.
As I could hear the voices of shocked students, I stared in horror at Staz who was beaten and bloodied, and was crucified like Jesus, and put on the back of the school for all to see.
"No…"I heard Zero say shooting himself into the air.
He floated on air while he took Staz down.
"Nice sight isn't it Yui?" Ayato appeared with a smile on his face.
"You did this?!" I stated in disbelief.
"Now that he's out of the picture, you can give me your undivided attention." Ayato said stroking my cheek. I stared up at him helplessly.
I didn't see this coming…
I dropped to my knees in total defeat.
The rain had begun to fall, but I didn't move…
No matter how much I moved forward, Ayato was always one step ahead.
A lesson I would not soon forget….
