Chapter 20

Aido 's P.O.V
~Flash back- The night before last~

It was a pretty boring night and a pretty boring class. All the teacher seemed interested in was talking about how we were the pride of the vampire clan and that we should take pride in being the first to test out the new blood tablets. I had no interest what so ever in what he was saying. He told us the exact same thing about two weeks ago. So instead I took to doodling in my notebook. It was better than listening to a lower classed vampire repeat himself. (1)

All of a sudden I lifted my head from my drawings. I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen soon. I had the feeling that an Level-E vampire was wondering on school grounds. That was very bad, especially for any Day Class student that decided to try and spy on us. I looked over to Kaname-Sama to see him looking out the window with a frown. I knew he could also sense the vampire.

"Aido, I can sense a Level-E on school grounds. Please go take care of it before it can get near any humans." Kaname-Sama said to me. I smiled respectfully as I bowed my head at him.

"Yes, Kaname-Sama." I said before I stood up and left the class room. I walked through the school halls before finding an exit and walking out.

As I was walking around the school grounds, I looked for the ex-human vampire that was somewhere nearby. Even though I could not see nor hear the Level-E vampire, I knew that he was somewhere close by. I knew this because solely because of the stench that was the scent of the vampire near by.

The scent of a Level-E was a mixture of human and vampire blood. The vampire blood came from the Level-E itself but the human blood came from the numberless victims of the vampire. Although I rather like the scent of human blood it found it revolting when it came from a Level-E. The scent could be so bad at times that it makes me want to puke. It's sort of like someone breathing on you and their breath smells like coffee but it stinks but this was much worse.

I felt my nose suddenly scrunch up in disgust as I finally caught the scent of the Level-E vampire. Following the scent into the forest I had to keep my nose plugged. The scent was beginning to get over powering and I was thankful, as a vampire, that I was able to hold my breath ten times longer than any human alive. Still I pushed my way towards the vampire, eager to get this over with as quick as possible.

Although, once I came near a small clearing, I hid myself behind a tree. For a moment I had forgotten all about the rough vampire. Because, standing in the middle of the clearing, was the Canadian girl, Ashley. She didn't seem to be doing really anything besides standing in that one spot but I caught her playing with something metal in her hands. Although her back was turned too much that I couldn't see exactly what it was..

'What is that girl doing outside again? She's not trying to run away again, is she? She really wouldn't be as stupid to try again, would she?' I thought to myself as I spied on her from behind the tree. She had turned around just enough for me to see that the thing in her hand was a sword and the blade was on fire.

While I hid in my spot I watched as the human girl played with the sword. Every time she through it up into the air I felt like rushing over before she got hurt or caused the forest to be caught on fire. Although she somehow managed to caught it every time. I was starting to think that this girl might not human after all. Humans couldn't cast fire out of nowhere, not even vampire hunters, and I knew she wasn't a vampire; she didn't smell like one.

After what seemed to be a few minutes later, Ashley somehow made the fire disappear. I watched her start to turn away and I hid myself even more. It seemed like she was now going back to her room and I did not want to be caught watching.

"Well, hello there, young lady." A man's voice suddenly caught my attention. I looked over to see the Level-E that Kaname-Sama talked about was only a few trees away from Ashley.

"You know, you look really cute. I bet that cuteness makes you taste really sweet. May I try some of that sweetness?" The rough vampire asked Ashley, who was now starting to look scared.

Hearing this vampire speak this way was starting to piss me off. Although I couldn't revile myself without letting Ashley know what I was. I knew I should jump out and save her but then her memories would need to be erased. Although, now that I think about it, her memory would need to be erased anyways so I guess it didn't matter if I reviled myself after all what I did.

"Oh, don't worry. It'll all be over in less than a minute; you're life I mean. I promise you wont feel a thing." He said with a laugh. Before I knew what was happening, the Level-E began to charge at Ashley.

As Ashley crouched to the ground, covering her face with her arms, I got ready to jump out and kill that evil vampire. Although, before I could even come out of hiding, I watched as a green vine shot out of the ground. The plant shot through the level-E's body quickly, killing him within moments after a loud grunt of pain.

I was shocked about this. I had not done that; besides my power over ice I did not have any other powers related to elements. Once I was sure no other Night Class student was around to do that, I looked back at Ashley to see she was looking shocked as well. Although, unlike my confusion, her shock was more of a disbelief.

I watched as the girl started to talk to the plant and gave it orders. I was even more shocked to see that the vine seemed to be listening and obeyed her every word. I continued to stayed behind the tree, as I was a little scared that the girl might use the vine on me if she found out I was there.

After about a minute, Ashley made the vine go back into the ground before she walked back to the Sun Dorms. As she had left I noticed that she had a nervous look on her face. She must have felt me watching her. Once I was sure the girl was out of sight, I looked at what remained of the Level-E before I walked back to class.

"Aido, is that Level-E taken care of?" Kaname-Sama asked when I entered the class room. I faked a smile as I nodded while sitting back in my seat.

"Yes, Kaname-Sama. All that's left is ashy sand." I told the pureblood proudly, pretending as if I had killed him. I then turned my attention to the teacher with my left hand under my chin.

"Thank you." The purblood said and I smiled proudly. This time the smile was real.

For the rest of the night I found myself thinking of Ashley and what she had done. I felt bad for lying to Kaname but I didn't think it would be smart to tell him that she used some kind of earth power to kill the Level-E. I didn't know what the girl was but I planed to find out sooner or later.

(1) I am actually just guessing that the vampire is a Level-C. I don't know for sue
