The big bad wolf is going in for the kill, Kaname-kun. What are you going to do?
There she was. Like a fawn unaware of the wolf lurking in the darkness.
Mana wandered the school grounds, a slight skip in her step. She glanced up at the starry sky every occasionally. Her hands swayed by her sides.
Rido stalked her from the darkness. He watched with bated breath whenever she stopped to stretch her calves and arms.
The moment she turned towards the dormitories, he made his move.
"Mana…"
He grinned when Mana froze mid-step. He heard her heartbeat pick up the pace.
"Over here, Mana."
Mana turned her head, her mismatched eyes scanning the shadows in his direction. He stepped into the moonlight. Mana jumped and grabbed her weapon, bracing it. Rido chuckled.
"Come closer, Mana," he said as he beckoned for her.
Mana stretched the cord of her whip slightly. Her legs were trembling. Rido took a step closer.
"Come to Papa."
Mana cracked her whip and Rido dodged it. He used his blood whip to wrap around her wrist and bring her forward. Mana stumbled into his arms and he grabbed her chin, tilting it to look up at him.
"Good girl," he hissed and crushed her lips with his.
I have your queen, Kaname-kun. Better hurry. She is finding it difficult to keep her sanity.
Rido cradled Mana in his lap whilst he sat atop the pile of bodies. Her eyes were glassy, staring into space. He rested her head on his shoulder, nuzzling her.
Mana leaned into his embrace, her hand lifting to grab his coat. Rido took her hand and squeezed it.
Rido lifted his head when the door ahead opened. Kaname was the first to cross the rooftop, stopping halfway once he saw Mana. Rido chuckled.
"My dear nephew," he purred, idly twisting Mana's hair around his finger.
"Let her go," Kaname said firmly.
His group of followers gathered behind him, pausing when they spotted him and Mana. Rido hummed.
"Now, now, you have your own queen, remember?" he said, squeezing Mana's hand gently. "Or were you too focused in your own red herring?"
Kaname clenched his fists. Rido lowered Mana's hand to her lap and raised his fingers in front of her face.
"Time to wake up, little queen."
Mana gasped after he snapped his fingers in front of her face. Her eyes cleared and Rido tightened his hold once she started struggling against him. She turned to see Kaname and reached out for him.
"Kana!"
"You're wasting your time," Kaname said, not once looking at Mana. "Bringing innocent standbys into this will do nothing."
Rido chuckled as he shifted Mana so she her back was to him. He secured an arm around her hips and placed the adjacent hand against her chest. Mana's heart was beating faster when his breath passed her ear.
"I call your bluff," he said with a smirk.
Kaname straightened and Rido nuzzled the side of Mana's head.
"Have you ever imagined what it's like to have your beloved's fangs deep in your neck?" he whispered.
Mana began shaking.
"Have you ever desired to share your precious life force with your one true love?"
He kissed her neck.
"Rido!"
Rido grinned at Kaname and hugged Mana tighter.
"Fall into the night, dark queen."
Mana's scream echoed across the school when he bit her.
Ah. Coupled with your despair, my dear nephew, her scream was a sublime symphony.
