Chapter 29


Zero's P.O.V
I was now the next day and the Headmaster called me to his office. "How are you feeling, Kiryu?" The Headmaster asked me when I got to his office since he wanted to see me. "I feel fine? Why do you ask, Headmaster?" I asked, a little confused to why he would ask. "I know what went on last night." He said and my eyes started to widen a little, but I stopped it. "Huh? What do you mean?" I asked thinking if he knew what I did to Nadia. "I know what you did to Nadia? Do you know if she is alright?" The Headmaster said and I cursed in my head but decide to play stupid and not know what he meant. "What? Yes I know she likes me, but that's all I know." I said, but the Headmaster didn't seem to buy it. "That's not what I asked. I mean I know you sucked her blood and now I'm asking if you know if she's OK." He said and I saw no way out of this one.

"I don't know. I left her in her room last night." I thought then remembered something. 'Man, I forgot to ask Ashley is Nadia was OK.' I thought, getting annoyed with the Headmaster. "OK, I'll go see her later then. I'm still glade that you feel better though." He said, suddenly acting happy like always did. "Ok, well I'm leaving now." I said, in a mad mood. "Very well," The Headmaster said, still happy and I left his office. 'Man that man drives me like a time bomb.' I thought and then someone bumped into me. "Ouch. Hay, watch it!" I then snapped and looked at the person I bumped into. I clamed down a bit one I saw who it was.

Ashley's P.O.V
I was walking down the halls, not paying attention to where I was going, when I bumped into Zero. "Ouch. Hay watch it!" I heard him say a little harshly, but I just ignored him and rubbed my forehead. "Ouch. Oh, sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." I then said and the harsh look on Zero's face went away. "Oh, it's you, Ashley. How are you?" He asked in an almost bored tone. "I'm…… content (at peace)." I said, not really knowing how I was feeling at the moment since I was a little tired.

"Oh, Zero, I have something for you?" I said remembering the potion. "Huh? What is it?" He asked and I reached into my pocket. "Here." I said and handed over the potion vile. "I have 11 more." I said and he took it from me. "What is it?" He asked, looking at it. "It's a potion to help slow your transformation." I said and he looked at me, shocked and surprised. "How do you know that?" He asked, sounding as surprised as he looked. "I saw you last night when I went for my walk in the woods. Oh and, it might have a bad taste to it. The potion works up to a month, but like I said, I have 11 more." I said and rubbed the back of my head.

"Umm thanks. Wait, you saw it to?" He asked with a sad look on his face. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm not that kind of person." I said, watching his face soften a little. "How's Nadia?" He asked and turned his head to the other side. "She's fine. I healed her wounds. Oh, and about the potion. It's also so post to help with the blood lust." I said and Zero just stayed quiet for a little, like as if he was thinking of something to say. "Thanks, I'll drink it now." He said, opening the vile and drinking it.

I couldn't help but smile as Zero looked at the now empty vile and then at me. "Thank you. I have some work to go do." He said and I just nodded. "OK. I want to go get some more sleep." I said then started back for the Headmaster's house. I was tired from staying up all night making the potions.

"Ashley!" Zero called my name, stopping me. "Yeah?" I asked as I turned around to face him. "Can you tell Nadia………." He said and then trailed off. "Tell Nadia what?" I asked him. "Nothing. Forget about it." He said and then left the room. I just sighed, staring after him. I then also left the room to go get some more sleep.
