SECRETS
Ok this is my first NightWalker fic, so be nice. One review and I'll continue ^.^ Oh yeah, and if words are in between **'s, it means it's a flashback.
Three weeks had passed. Three weeks since the attack. Three weeks that Shido had been on the couch, suffering and moaning in pain. He stayed very still with the exception of a few occasional shakes and shivers. His eyes were closed, and remained that way. The incident that caused all of this was still frightening to recall.
**The moon pierced the midnight sky. All was quiet. Until a quick thrashing in the bushes. A man erupted from them with inhuman speed. His face was pale and a sickly green. Shortly after him came another man. His hair was long and tied back, and his eyes flashed yellow with rage.
"You…" The first man said quietly and stopped. The other stopped as well, a cautious look about his ashen face. "You sure you want to kill me, vampire?"
The vampire glared. "I despise anyone who feeds off human beings!" He bit his finger and watched the blood form into a crimson sword. In a split second, he had thrown the sword into the man. The sickly human screamed in agony and fell to his knees.
"Mr. Shido!" came a worried voice. In a moment, a second, female vampire appeared from behind the bushes. "Mr. Shido, are you alright?!"
"Riho, slow down! You're making me sick…" said the little green demon, clutching a few strands of Riho's long hair.
"Shut up! Mr. Shido could be in danger!"
"Relax, Riho. That was the breed shrieking, not Shido," a calm, black haired woman stated bluntly. The trio approached Shido and the fallen breed.
Instead of screaming more, the breed began to laugh. It was a sick, screeching sound full of evil. "Heh heh heh. My master will be pleased." He begain to vanish, but emitted a strange, blue powder as he did so. "I suggest you find Master Cain, if you wish to quel the troubles about to overcome you…" He had now completely gone.
Shido wanted to respond, but he fell to the ground, moaning instead.
"Mr. Shido!" Riho called and ran up to him, followed by Yayoi and Guni.**
The rain pattered against the window. Riho walked into the office, but she wasn't wearing her typical, gleeful, not-a-care-in-the-world smile. Sure, she had been upset since the incident, but now she was even more depressed.
Yayoi glanced in her direction while Guni flw over and hovered near the girl's left shoulder. "What's wrong, Riho?"
Riho let a miserable sigh escape. "I…had a dream last night."
"Oh?" Yayoi asked, now interested. "What was it about? I mean, if it's not too depressing to talk about of course."
"No…I can talk about it.." She said. "In fact, some of the dream was truly wonderful."
"Go on…" Yayoi urged.
"Well, Mr. Shido was still injured. I walked in and called his name once more, predicting it would have no effect. But this time, he responded. His eyes snapped open, and he sat up. 'What happened?' He asked me. Then he rubbed his head. 'And why do I feel like there was a bowling ball on my head?'
"I didn't answer him. I was crying, but the tears that fell were of happiness. 'Mr. Shido!' I said happily, and I began to run towards him. But the faster I ran, the further he drifted from me. I couldn't reach him, but I kept trying. Suddenly, I stopped. I couldn't move. And just as abruptly as I had stopped, I started to fall. He was there to catch me.
"I wanted to thank him, but my mouth wouldn't move. In fact, I couldn't move any part of my body. Mr. Shido looked really sad. He closed his eyes, letting tears fall. His mouth moved, but I couldn't hear him. Then I realized I couldn't feel him holding me. And when everything faded to black, I couldn't see him any longer either…"
Guni stretched out her wings. "That's interesting…Do ya think it means something?"
"Don't be ridiculous. It's just a dream," Yayoi stated matter-of-factly. "Dreams never mean anything. They're just images placed in your mind while you sleep, nothing more."
Riho sighed and looked at the floor. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Looking less happy than she did when she came in, she headed out the door.
Suddenly the air turned cold.
"I've been waiting for you, young vampire Riho."
