The boy took a deep breath, and pushed back his hair as he saw the scene that he expected to see.
Curse you Mother.
Rose was on the ground, holding a soulless teacher close and sobbing intensely while Hikaru called 911 or whatever the emergency number for Japan was and was rambling about their location and stuff like that.
Swiftly shifting from his actual personality to a scared citizen, he ran into the room with 'heavy' breathing He stopped dead in his tracks at the dead body as if he was caught completely off guard.
"Oh my God what happened?" he screamed and fell toward the three. The boy caught his British accent to late, then decided to not force an American anymore sense he was a different person now.
"W-Who are you?" Rose sniffled, her eyes red from crying.
"I'm the new kid. What happened?" The new kid screamed at them. A pang of pain in his throat for lying to his master.
"They'll be here in five minutes." Hikaru assured Rose who rocked the pale teacher in her arms, wailing slightly.
"Anything I need to do?" The new kid asked, knowing he wouldn't be recognized by the two.
"I-I don't know." Rose stuttered. "I-is he d-dead?"
The boy leaned down and held the wrist of the human that had just held one out of seven host souls for his new form, already knowing that the answer was no.
But he tried to make it real and had fear cross his features and he also checked the man's heart and breathing.
"Oh, god! No pulse." The boy pretended to panic, holding his head.
"W-well… I-I need t-to talk to Charlotte." Rose told Hikaru.
"Who?" The boy asked.
"My sister. I need to talk to her now. Give me your phone Hikaru." The boy obeyed and the number was dialed.
"W-what?… She always answers! Oh god! What's happening?" Was this Mother's doing?…
Rose held her head between her legs as if to block off the world. This was her nightmare! This was her worst nightmare! The one she had last night.
"My name is Charles. If you need anything, I will go get it for you." The boy reassured the still clueless Rose.
"Okay, t-thank you… Charles?" Rose looked up to a silver haired, grey-blue eyed boy about Hikaru's age. His hair sagged carelessly around his face that was paler then the moon. He was fair but appeared very tall. There was something ghostly familiar about him.
"We are the paramedics." Shouts came from the hallways and a bunch of people rushed around and checked the teacher's pulse and injuries. The students were led out of the room.
After being asked a billion questions, all answered truthfully, the trio was left to a second of silence as the black bag with a stench of death coming from it filled the air was taken away.
"You all need to go home. School will be canceled for the rest of the week or until we can find out who did this." A man who was obviously government said.
"So he was murdered?" Charles asked.
"Indeed young man. I advise you tell no one. Just enjoy your vacation. Miss, sirs, have a nice day." Then he just walked off, bringing out a cigarette because he had never seen anything like this body before.
"C-Charlotte always answers her phone… What is she doing right now?" Rose called for the sixth time.
Charles made sure that his phone was on vibrate so that Rose's ring tone wouldn't split his secret.
"Oh god Hikaru! What am I going to do?" She fell sobbing into his shoulder and they both fell to the ground.
Charles towered over the couple with an evil smirk that was hard to see because it wasn't there on his face.
Humans, so dramatic.
"I'm sure she'll call back." Hikaru coaxed and soothed Rose until she was only whimpering.
"Pardon me seeming heartless, but why are you freaking out like this over some dead guy and your sister not picking up her phone?"
"S-she always a-answers!" Rose roared.
"She'll come to school in an hour…" but Hikaru remembered that school wouldn't be held today.
"Tell you what, come to my house tonight and you can keep calling her there?"
"NO! I have to go to the dormitory right now! If she's there then I'll know if she's alright."
The two didn't notice Charles following them. He barely held in a smile or laughter. But he did. Thank god too because if he did either his position would be blown.
When they got to the room, the place was wrecked. Books were torn apart and paper was everywhere. The mattress on the bed was completely ripped and devoured as if a large animal had thought it had a bone inside and it was starving.
Not a picture on the wall was spared and the same thing went for the vases and the bathroom wall and the only window in the room.
"Oh wow." Hikaru gasped when he saw dead animals on the ground. Rodents, dogs, cats, and something that they hadn't noticed missing from their teacher the few moments they had seen him dead,
Mr. Reckno's glasses
Charles picked the spectacles up and studied them carefully, then placed them in his pocket. The other two were too engrossed to notice anyway.
"Oh, Charlotte." Rose gasped when she opened the unnecessary door to the bathroom and saw silver liquid all over the four walls and sink and floor. A bleach clean rag on the counter was the only thing clean. The shard of glass next to it barely visible.
Charles clutched his left arm. Memories from the form before still haunting his thoughts. He gulped but hid it the best he could.
"What is that stuff?" Charles asked, already knowing that it was his blood.
"It's…" Rose was surprised Charles was there. "You need to leave!"
Charles got shoved out of the room and the door was slammed behind him. He just rolled his eyes and waited for the panic to continue inside.
"What's going on out there?"
Oh that's right. They still weren't the only ones at the school.
"Hikaru and Rosalina are having a talk. I wouldn't get involved if I were you ladies." Charles said soothingly to the four girls that had asked the question at the same time and smiled slyly.
"But while they're having their little talk, let's have one of our own shall we?"
Blushes and squeals engulfed the hallway in the next five minutes. This was what Charles had planned: All of the Host Club in one person ringing in the best rumor suppliers in the world, girls.
"By the way, did you know someone was killed today?" He crossed his ankles and brought his arms around two girls sitting next to him. Being a boy wasn't new to him, but he hadn't done it in fourteen years. It was interesting being the dominate race of human again.
"Oh goodness that's terrible Charly!" Five girls wailed and the rest nodded with sad expressions.
"Yeah, he died right in front of Hikaru and Rose in the French room on the first floor."
There was silence, then a long haired red head with a disgusting soul stepped up and almost faint looking, shouted,
"A murder in this academy?"
"Yes princess. But I wasn't supposed to tell any of you so just enjoy the week they're taking off of school. It's our little secret da?" Charles added Russian to make it sound like he was just playing with them but it also made it sound like a threat.
He realized that they all were scared, and smiled friendlily, showing his shining teeth and winking to melt their mental stability.
"Oh Charly! Of course we wont tell anyone!" All the girls squealed and Charles couldn't help but chuckle to himself how stupid these girls were. He could do whatever he wanted to any of them and they wouldn't care.
Charles decided that he would take advantage of this later, but not now. There was a very familiar boy walking toward them.
"What the heck is going on here?" Koaru asked.
Charles' black heart jumped faster for a few seconds. He breathed as steadily as possible when he saw the soul. Then he grinned slyly, realizing that he was starring with a frown.
"I expect they called you?" He asked the twin.
"Yeah, goodbye." He only glanced back at the group, realizing that he was starring too. The boy's smile was very familiar.
"What happened? The police were driving away when I got here."
"Please, have you talked to Charlotte?" Hikaru asked for Rose who was, to Koaru's shock, was red eyed and sniffling on the ground.
"N-no. What's going on?"
"Apparently, the teacher got murdered and the room your friend is sharing with her 'sister' is mugged and trashed."
"Who the heck are you British kid?" Koaru spat, turning to Charles who was leaning against the door beam.
"Charles is the name and I just so happen to be American thank you very much."
"Whatever British kid."
"Charles."
"There are more pressing matters then this."
"Indeed there is Hikaru." They starred that this teenager knew his name.
"Over there, the cabinet next to the bed. It's the only one closed. What's inside?" Charles pointed to it with a glare on his features though his face was blank. Charles already knew what was inside.
Koaru edged towards it, then hesitated when he reached out his hand.
Charles sighed in annoyance and wondered why his form before was attracted to this idiot. Though the soul was still almost irresistible, the person in itself was just too ridiculous.
He rushed forward and ripped the door open to get the tension out of the atmosphere and show them what had happened to Charles' former self.
The dead body, bleeding red and silver, fell out of the cabinet with an expression of terror on it's face.
Rose screamed, loud enough that the girls outside were calling the same emergency number from before.
Charles just starred at the girl's body. It was much smaller because before it was stolen it was much younger, and it's hair was all over the place and also white as if all color had been drained from it. There was a large slice in the chest that bled red and there were multiple slices on the left arm that bled silver. Charlotte was the picture of 'tortured to death'.
Koaru was starring at the horror. A single tear fell and then he fell on the ground as if his legs couldn't hold him.
Rose was crying and wailing in Hikaru's arms who held her tight and trying to comfort her in the best way possible. He failed though because he was too occupied shouting at the police that had just been in the building that he had no idea what was going on with all the blood and bodies.
"No! Don't let them take her!" Rose reached for the dead body as it was wrapped up and stored tightly, then taken away. Hikaru having to hold her back as it was taken.
There was much screaming outside when the girls saw the black bag as they all realized what was inside.
"Humans." Charles scoffed. He rolled his eyes slightly and helped Rose up of the ground, pulling her away from Hikaru who wasn't happy about that.
Charles then decided that Mother would be satisfied with the pain they had both gone through and hugged Rose close enough one would have been suspicious they were lovers.
…Hikaru wasn't happy.
"L-let go of me." Rose sniffled, but didn't fight it. "She can't die. She can't!"
"No, she can. He however…" Rose looked up at Charles who smiled brightly for a split second, revealing himself to his master.
"Charlo-… Charles." Rose was suddenly in a terribly angry sort of mood and slapped Charles in the arm roughly. This caused him to chuckle twice before all humor and happiness vanished and he was emotionless once again. Hikaru was left puzzled and Koaru was still on the ground starring at where Charlotte's body had been.
"Rose, what are you going to do now?" A woman came up with a recorder.
Rose was surprised that a press was there. Cameras and reporters all over the place… well, a death of the oldest daughter of one of the most successful companies in American would turn a few heads.
"Hey, back off! We don't need you nosing your cameras in this room. Out before I give you a beating you won't forget." Charles got a few flashes in return.
"Perhaps I need to repeat myself? Get out."
They all looked confused, but then left. Leaving the building without a word and not remembering where they were at when they got into their cars.
"Charlotte is dead." Koaru whispered to himself. He repeated the act like he couldn't believe it and then started bawling on the ground.
He lowered into a bowing position on both knees, holding his head and wailing with tears streaming and pouring down on the ground.
"Oh gosh Koaru." Hikaru knelt down and held his brother, followed by Rose. Charles just stood there with his heart feeling weird and his body tingling with an emotion that must have been true sadness…
Humans. Only good for… no, perhaps there is something… Mother, why do you torture us so? They are only humans. Only humans!
O.O…. Uh… Okay I was in a very dark mood today… This will be our last chapter in a while. I'm going to be gone for a week to go to a different state and visit my peeps!
PS if you didn't catch it, Charlotte is now Charles who was forced into a new form to scare and torture Rose and Charlotte for punishment for their love to humans… You have just witnessed how truly evil Mother is…
Kyoya's Tortures:
*Kyoya is wide eyed, still scarred for life of whatever Reinge did… haha*
"Guess what Kyoya?"
*Shivers*
"I'm opening the door and letting you go."
"HUH!"
"Yeah, go on. The ropes have been off for three hours. You can-"
*Kyoya speeds out like he's Italy from Hetalia… or just unrealistically fast with dirt coming up behind him and everything*
"Hey Rose."
"Yep?"
"Release the dogs."
"The rabid ones who haven't eaten in days?"
"Oh yeah."
*Distant barking and then screams*
"Huh, I hope we didn't get a girl."
"Sure sounds like it… eh."
