Bloodlust

"The Knight"
"Awaken my dearest brother." Cold and clean cut, the voice rang in the ears of the knight. "Dearest brother…" The words weren't kind; indeed they stung like the wasp's stinger. They were vile and ominous; they were of a demonic heart.
Allen Schezar opened his eyes. The room was dark… the windows faming the silent night. Through these window's pale moonlight sent its rays, their touch falling on an angelic figure standing above him.
The knight inhaled deeply, all his emotion in one word, "You…"
"Of course, it's me." A wolfish smile crept upon the angel's features, betraying him. "Who else would it be? You dearest little sister?"
"Celena…?" the knight breathed. "What have you done with her you monster? Where is she?" Allen flung off his covers and walked toward the door, almost oblivious to the youth in the moonlight.
A cruel cackle broke the silent night. "I wouldn't go out there, brother…"
"Dilandau," Allen faced the moonlit figure. "What do you mean, you monster? Why do you refer to my as your 'brother'?"
The red eyes were a deadly shade of magenta in the dimness. Slowly the smirk twisted wider on Dilandau's lips. The youth pulled forth a sachet, which had gone unnoticed by the knight. He tossed it to Allen, who caught it by instinct.
"Open it!" Dilandau commanded, as Allen looked suspiciously at the small, lightweight bag.
Allen raised an eyebrow and cautiously opened it. The knight gasped and dropped the bag; pale locks of fair hair fell into the moon's light. Dilandau's smiled widened as Allen began to comprehend what had just happened.
"My…hair…?" The knight was pale. He reached a shaking hand over to his own head. Sure enough, his fingers met sloppily cut pieces of his fine tresses. He let out another gasp of shock; slowly his eyes fell on the sheers that lay forgotten on his bedroom floor.
Finally Dilandau's laughs broke out through the room's silence. The youth tried to support himself on a large chair, while cackling like the maniac he was thought out to be.
"You should see yourself, Schezar!" Dilandau managed to say through burst of hysterical giggles. "To bad you'll die before anyone else sees you in this state."
Allen's form shook with rage. "I will kill you, Dilandau. Pain will be the last thing you remember, I swear to that!"
Dilandau raised a thin eyebrow. "Really? I was under the impression you didn't want to harm you precious little sister? Since I am her, that would put you a disadvantage, wouldn't it? You do not want to hurt me, while I am here to kill you."
Allen moved cautiously toward the sword next to the door. He drew it without any interference from the albino. "By my knighthood, for the honor of the Schezar family estate and mine, you will die tonight in this room, but my hands Dilandau Albatou!"
The youth yawned. "Not likely if you keep up those speeches of yours."
With a mad cry of rage the knight charged at Dilandau, sword flashing in the moonlight. Allen swung his weapon with accuracy, but only met the wood or the chair Dilandau had took by. His sword lodged in the thick timber, there was no time to free it. The albino knew this.
With one clean swing Dilandau landed a shot right into Allen's jaw sending the knight sprawling to the ground. Dilandau rubbed his knuckles and smirked. "That felt good," he sneered. "Let's do it again!"
The Zaibach officer charged toward the knight. Allen recovered quickly and blocked Dilandau's attack. The knight landed a kick straight into the albino's stomach, sending the youth across the room.
"You… bastard," Dilandau coughed as he recovered, a metallic glint in his hand. "I should have killed you while you slept!"
Allen was also recovering from his initial hurt. The knight glared, "Dilandau…" The knight caught the albino's oncoming punch, and then the other. Allen held both of Dilandau's wrists as the youth struggled wildly.
"Dilandau, release my sister!" Allen yelled as he fought to hold the struggling albino at bay. "Release her now! I command you!"
The Zaibach officer's eyes widened, "No one commands me!" He yelled in anger. But the anger melted away as the transformation began. Slowly a young girl replaced the albino.
Her confused eyes met Allen's. "Brother."
The knight threw his sister into a hug. "Celena," he murmured as she hugged him back. Something cold and metallic touched his back for a second, but the knight was to overjoyed to notice it. "Celena," he repeated. "I thought you left he for good…"
"Brother," Celena said still confused. "Your hair…?"
"It doesn't matter," Allen insisted. "All that matters is you. I thought I lost you forever."
Celena's soft smile seemed to waver for a moment as a red fire blazed in her eyes. "I never left you brother," she said pulling out of the hug. "I was always there."
Allen glanced up at his sister; it was his turn to be confused. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is…" Celena turned away from her brother, almost as if she was thinking. "You never really lost me. You met me, you fought me… then you brought me back here."
"What…?" Allen's eyes widened. "…Are you saying…?"
Celena wrapped one arm around her brother. "Yes brother." Allen's eyes widened as his sister's voice was inverted into Dilandau's. "I'm your sister Allen."
With one quick thrust the sheers in Dilandau's hand penetrated the knight's rib cage. Blood poured down on the moonlit floor. Dilandau slowly lowered Allen to the ground, a satisfied smirk twisted on his lips.
Allen's eyes stared up at the albino. "Bastard…" the knight choked out as his eyes began to roll back.
He did not know what happened next. Dilandau would leave his room, cackling to himself. Within minutes the albino would kill one of the maids, placing the corpse in Celena's bedroom. Then his sister's room would erupt in flames as Dilandau rode in search of his next victim. But Allen did not know any of this. He was oblivious to the outside world.
All he knew was hurt; pain was the last thing he remembered.
