Chapter 14
Headmaster's side:
There was a knock at the door, and the headmaster looked up to still find his door closed. "Come in," he said. An old woman with dark brown hair, a thin woman, she was dressed in all red. "You're the headmaster?" she asked him in a sweet voice. "I am, how may I help you miss?" he asked her. "I'm Kami's Aunt. I wish to take her home with me. She can still attend to the Academy but I've come to take her to my home," she said with a smile. "I'm sorry what's your name again," the headmaster asked.
"Morgan," she answered. The headmaster stood and said, "Please sit and tell me why you're a year late to take Kami into custody?" She sat in front of him and said, "Yes, well I've been meaning to do so but I found out that she was here a month ago. I wasn't sure if it was my little sister's daughter or not. But my confusion is why her parents allowed you to have her into custody? Did they argue that much?" she asked him.
"Actually," the headmaster said still standing, "Kami was the only survivor in her town that was ruined by the nobles. But I believe that the noble was Lord Darcia who killed off that town. Kami's parents were killed by a Level E vampire, her little brother Timmy died from a wall crushed his body." "How tragic," she said in sorrow. "Kami had no other family to take her in that I knew of, so I adopted her and she is legally my adopted daughter," the chairman said. "I want to discuss her options out to you, as her Aunt, and in her parents will, I am the one to take responsibility for her. I have the will with me if you'd like to see it," Morgan said as she grabbed a piece of paper from her purse.
Zero's side:
Zero can sense that something is wrong, something that will cause trouble. But he didn't know what it was or what to do. He just had a random feeling that there was something wrong. Something was in the Academy and it was unwelcome there. He walked out to check the campus of the Academy, as he did he tried to sent out anything different, something new or strange. But he couldn't find anything. He could smell nothing but the noble classmates blood and the scent of humans. He continued to walk the grounds and he saw Kami. He saw her sitting in a tree; he thought that she was probably thinking of her family or something. She always did that. Ever since she came to the Academy.
Kami's side:
I was just sitting a tree and minding my own business. But all of the sudden I feel something that's wrong. Like something is unwelcome here. It's hard to explain but it's a strange feeling to have. Like I know something is here but its like an unusual feeling to have. I looked around to see anything wrong but found Zero looking up at me. I smiled and fell to the ground landing on my feet. "So, what's up?" I asked him. "Nothng, just had a weird feeling just now," he said. "Really?" I asked him. "Yeah," he answered. "I did too, it's like there something here that's wrong," I said. I wondered what it could be that's giving me and Zero these strange feelings. And we both got them at the same time.
"So you're hunting more vampires tomorrow?" I asked him. "Yeah, wanna come?" he asked me. "Dad said that he'll assign me a list when he thinks I'm ready to go on my own," I told him. "Probably be better if you stayed then," he said winking at me. "Hey now, I think I could fight and kill one if I wanted to and had to," I told him. He chuckled and we walked around the campus at night. I felt safer with Zero; I always did since he protected me a lot. Maybe we're just being over protective and that there's nothing for us to worry about.
Headmaster's side:
"So, now you know why I have the right to take Kami away," the Aunt Morgan told the headmaster. "May I ask only to have a few more days with my daughter?" he asked her with pleading eyes. "You may, but please don't tell her I've arrived. I want to surprise her," she said with a smile. The head master wasn't sure if Kami would pleased with the idea of just now finding out about another family member to take guardianship. "Thank you," the headmaster said, "I will show you a room that you can stay in for now."
They both got up and left to the room. The headmaster showed Kami's Aunt her room and left her without a word. He had grown close to Kami, as a father and loved her. He had realized that he couldn't keep her anymore, even though she filled his heart with the same hole Yuuki left for him. Secretly he had been sad for a while and told no one about it. He was going lose his daughter. Kami really was like a daughter to him, maybe a bit more the Yuuki, since her brother was always around. But Kami had no one until now. He figured that Zero was the best friend that she could have. He didn't want to separate the both of them. 'They've come to close to separate them,' the head master thought, "I can't have Zero suffer again. It might really hurt him even more this time."
Zero's side:
'Why do I smell another vampire like me here?' Zero thought to him, 'It couldn't be the woman Kami's been running from all this time, could it?' Zero looked at Kami. She was looking ahead of where they were walking. Zero was worried about Kami, ever since she told him about the woman. But nothing strange has come up, until now. Zero looked away and blushed when he realized he was staring at Kami.
'Kami, how can I say I love you when we're taking everything slow,' He thought. He knew he couldn't say anything. But the feelings he had for Kami over a year grew stronger. It took him a while to love Yuuki but Kami knew a lot about Zero. She knew how it felt about the death of his parents. He felt guilty that it was not just any vampire, but a Level E vampire. It was a pureblood that made him hate vampires and himself. He wondered if Kami hated vampires because of what happened to her and her family. But she couldn't hate them entirely if she had feelings for Zero.
Kami's side:
'Things are quiet tonight. It's kind of strange that there was a bad feeling earlier and with out an explanation to it,' I thought. I've been walking around with Zero for about twenty minutes and there still nothing wrong that I see so far. Maybe it really isn't anything, just a strange instinct.
I looked at Zero and thought, 'I know that we're taking things slow, but I feel like I just want to say that I love him. But it would sound like I'm rushing into things. That's not what I want and I don't know if Zero would feel the same way for me. If he did, he would say something, wouldn't he?' I looked at Zero for a minute then to the ground. 'Maybe he wouldn't say anything,' I thought.
I felt that feeling again and it made me stop walking. I don't understand why I would be feeling this way. I could understand how Zero could, but why me? I'm not a vampire. "You feel to right now," he told me. I looked up to him and said, "Yes, but how?" he shrugged and said, "I don't know. But it smells like one of my kind. A leveled vampire." I gasped at his words. 'Could it be…Could it,' I thought but my brain wasn't fully processing. 'Could it be my Aunt Morgan?' I thought. My eyes widened and I wasn't sure what to think.
I felt a sudden rush of fear in my whole being. "Is….is it…a Level E?" I asked Zero wondering if it was possible for it to be her. "I can't tell. There's too much stench of noble classman vampires and humans. It smells like it could be but I can't tell," he answered me. 'If she was here, it would be to take me away and to kill me. Just like she almost did when she came to my house a year ago and in my dream,' I thought.
"I was in my room, and I wasn't alone. I looked around and I saw nothing but blackness and pair of red eyes. I swung the Artemis at the vampire. "Who are you!"? I demanded. "Hello little Kam," a female voice spoke. I gasped. 'No. No, it can't be.' I thought. "Aunt Morgan," I spoke with hate. "Now, now Kami. I'm sure my sister taught you well then to have an attitude," she spoke as she came out form the shadows with a smile on her face. "Mom did teach me well," I told her, "better then you taught my cousins!" "You really want to be disciplined don't you?" She asked me more seriously.
"Your discipline?" I asked her, "is beating." "Hm," she made a little noise, "Maybe I can teach you a few things that mommy didn't teach." My eyes widened in fear. She started to run towards me. I ran from her with a vampire weapon in my hand. When I got a little ways down the hall, I saw the chandelier a little ways away from the stairs. I got on the flat railings and jump towards it. The Artemis caught the chandelier. My hands slipped an inch or two on the Artemis. I looked at my Aunt Morgan. She tried to jump but didn't make it. She tried jumping to grab a hold of me and she didn't. But then she jumped higher and grabbed my leg. The memory of her dragging my mother's body away ran in my head from my Aunt's touch. I scream and let go of the Artemis."
The memory of my dream faded away thanks to Zero's voice, "Kami?" "Huh?" I responded. "What's wrong?" he asked me. "I don't understand. Why I would feeling like I would know if there's something wrong and a bad vampire here," I said looking at him with sad eyes. He placed a hand on my face and said, "I sense something bad but I won't let anything happen to you." I looked into his eyes and I still felt sadness and that something was wrong in the Academy.
Aunt Morgan's Side:
She could see Kami with a vampire boy. She smiled and said to herself, "Why Kam, you're friends with a vampire boy, who would turn into a Level E. Just like me. You will be my child, and I will make you my servant in my home. We will travel away from here, and no one will rescue from the darkness I will put you in. I've done my time and your parents made the price for not letting me see my niece." She placed he hands on the glass, covering some of the body that she could see of Kami. "Child, you don't know the real reason why your parents kept me away from you dear. How have you forgotten that day, you were so young but you remember things so clearly even at the age you were," she continued to talk to herself.
"That's right Child. I'll help you remember that night. When we all were together and how it all started. You were to believe that this was all a tale when it's your life. Our world did combine with two tales that were separate. But they were real after midnight only a year ago. Lord Darcia will get your precious wolf friend. No one will come and rescue you," she kissed the window sill still talking to herself, "I will see you in a few days child. But for now, I will rest to keep myself well. I will tell you that vampires, including Level E's were awake in our world. But the worlds combined after midnight only a year ago."
A/N: DUN! DUN! DUN! DUN! Yeah, Kami's Aunt is back in the story again. Anyways please leave a review. Thanks!
