Secrets
Chapter Two
Disclaimer: I don't own NightWalker, but I do own the character you will see in this chapter.
Ok, I want to thank Dark Rhapsody (I think that's spelled right….) for being my first (and only) reviewer. I didn't think anyone was really in to NightWalker..I thought I was all alone . So, Dark Rhapsody, could you IM me at FireJewl1819 or e-mail me at Amanijme@writing.com ? Because I need someone else who has seen my all time fave series to talk to. Alright, here's the next chapter.

"What? Who's there?" Riho looked around. Behind her was the office she had just left. To her right was the alleyway she always took home. The dark, creepy, empty alley. To her left, she saw the back of some building. And directly in front of her was an old abandoned warehouse. But no matter where she looked, she couldn't find a sign of the person whom had spoke to her.
In response to her glances, a quiet laugh sounded. "Foolish girl…" Riho was stunned.
"What…what do you want from me?" she pleaded. "Just leave me alone!"
Another laugh followed. "Why should I?" Suddenly, Riho felt a sharp pain in her right side. She cried out and looked at her shoulder. There was an arrow protruding from her shoulder. The color of the arrow matched the crimson color of the blood that was pouring from the wound. She clutched her shoulder and cried out again. Her conciousness was fading quickly, and the last thing she saw was a hooded figure at the top of the warehouse, clutching a scarlet bow that had clearly just been shot.

The room was exceptionally dark. The only light was a dim candle, dousing the room in a gloomy, sorrowful glow. A man sat cozily on his couch, sipping from his clear goblet. A relaxed smile took over dimly lit face.
"I can finally get him back. Once the little brat is gone, he'll have no choice but to turn back to me. It can't fail." He said, quietly to himself. "Just you wait, my beloved Shido. You will belong to me again…"

Riho's vision was cloudy when she awoke. The fact that the room had no light didn't help much. It didn't take long for her eyes to adjust to the darkness surrounding her, because of her "condition". Once she could see more clearly, she tried to sit up, but the pain was too much to do so. Lying back down, she glanced at her new surroundings.
From what she could see, the walls were crimson; the color of blood. Sitting on the table next to her was a goblet. And within the goblet was a liquid the same hue as the walls. From the smell of it, she knew it was blood. Whomever was keeping her knew of her condition. 'Where am I?' She wondered to herself.
"You are in the house of shadows." A voice answered, as if hearing her very thoughts. But that wasn't what stopped Riho in her tracks. The voice was familiar. Riho had heard it before she was shot with the arrow. Though the incident was over, she still heard those words echoing through her mind. "I've been waiting for you, young vampire Riho." She wouldn't be forgetting that for a while…
A figure had entered the room. No doubt the owner of the voice, she was very dark and sinister. Her long, light brown hair fell past her back, and was pulled into a ponytail. She wore a faded scarlet dress, trimmed at her shoulders with little black wings.((a/n if you're wondering what it looks like, think of Lady Subaru from .hack//sign. It's her dress, only a deep red color. And the wings are the same, only black. I'm just bad at descriptions .)) "So you're finally awake?"
"Who…who are you?" Riho asked cautiously. "Who are you, and what do you want from me?!"
The girl smiled. "My name is Auryon Nukuai. I seek nothing from you. However, my master wishes to speak to you as soon as he returns." Her eyes flashed yellow. "In fact, here he comes now."
Indeed, Riho had heard the footsteps approaching the room she was in. A shadow overcame the door and it opened. She was shocked to find who was standing before her.
"Cain!"
He looked up upon hearing his name. Smiling, he glanced at the one calling herself Auryon. "I see you brought me the girl, as I have asked. Arigatou."
"You're welcome, Cain. Shall I be taking my leave?"
"No, you need to stay, Auryon. I will need you momentarily."
Auryon nodded and leaned against the wall, arms folded.
"Riho, I understand Shido has fallen ill?"
Riho looked at him. "You..you know of Mr. Shido's condition?"
"Of course," he said gently. "And I know the cure."
