Night had slowly come for the
young brunette, who lay wide-awake on her small, yet comfortable couch.
Blankets up to her neck, she laid there in fear, unable to sleep for her dreams
of an evil son. The room was motionless, and soundless, except for light
breathing of Kaiba that she could hear all to well. She didn't want to get up
just yet, she feared that if she did, Kaiba would be up, and she didn't feel
like seeing or talking to him. Yet, even though she wasn't a vampire, she could
feel when night was close, and she knew it was coming soon.
She sighed sadly. I hate those
dreams. I mean, why kill Joey? What did he ever do? She asked herself, hoping
that somehow, in her mind, it would be able to answer her questions. Maybe if I
have a son, I could make him not be evil, and then, maybe Joey wouldn't die?
What the hell am I saying? If he is a vampire like Kaiba says, there's no way
he can be sweet she thought sadly.
Serenity slowly sat up, bored
of just lying somewhere where her thoughts were filled with her fears. Perhaps,
if she read something, or did something, it would get her mind off her odd
dreams. When sitting up, she continued to listen for his deep breathing, and
when she had heard it, she removed the rest of her covers, and swung her legs
to the side. Taking a quick breath, she got up, standing in the darkness. Just
walk over to the bookshelf, grab a book and head for the bathroom she told
herself in her mind. Listening to it, she slowly made her way to the bookshelf,
and grabbed a random book. Holding the book into her pale hands, she continued
to the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind her.
There already was a small
candle lit, so all she had to do was take a seat on the toilet, and begin to
read like she had planned, and hopefully, Kaiba wouldn't mind her taking a book
to read. And anyways, she thought, aren't I being polite by going into here,
instead of lighting a candle out there, and waking him up? She thought to
herself, as she looked at the cover of the book. It was dark brown, and to her
surprise, not title on it. The cover was made of a brown leather, and looked a
little warn out. Hmm, she thought, I always thought Kaiba to be someone who
kept his things in perfect condition she thought, opening the first page of the
book.
The papers were old as well,
them being of the color yellowish-white. Again, Serenity flipped to the next
page. Reading the first sentence, she lost her breath, and froze into place.
Your joking right? She asked herself, as her light brown eyes never left the
first two words. She knew if she got back out, he would wake up. So she would
wait till he needed the washroom, and sneak it out. Well, maybe I'll read a bit
she thought as she slowly calmed down, and began to read his journal.

Dear Journal, October 25th/1746
Mother has seemed to have bought
me this, this journal for my birthday. Which, I shall be laughed at for all
eternity from the other kids, you know, the other boys get better gifts, and I
am stuck with a journal. When they ask what I received, I shall tell them, I
did some horrible deed, hence my not getting anything, therefore, they shall
never know, meaning to laughing at me, which in all means, a simple life for
me. Either way, I have not much to write in here, so, possibly, this journal
shall be abandoned soon, for I am not the type to write things down on paper.
Kaiba
Serenity looked up from the
page. Wow he's so much different she thought. I mean, he had friends she
laughed in her mind. Plus, his choices of words are odd. . .perhaps it's
because of the time of year she thought, looking at the date once again.
Sighing, Serenity turned to the next page, to see what he had written.
Dear Journal, November 17th/1746
Don't think anything of my
writing here again, seems there is nothing to do, so I thought, why not? I must
say though, my father has changed a bit. He seems a bit, colder perhaps? And
even so, I don't see him much during the day because he sleeps it. I don't
quite understand, and when I asked mother, she said he was ill, and started to
cry. Which scared me. She usually does not cry. I think there is something
going on that they have yet to tell me, which annoys me to no extent. I have
decide that, if I want to know, I shall have to figure it out on my own, and
so, I shall stay up and find out. Besides, I'm their oldest son, don't I
deserve to know?
Kaiba
Aw, he was actually caring she
thought. How come he can't act like this way now? What changed him? She
thought. Realizing the only way she could find out was by reading; she turned
the page and started to read once more.
Dear Journal, November 19th/1746
It did not take me long to
figure out what was wrong, and for one, I am shocked. I had no idea these
things existed, and the fact that my father is one of them, I fear. I heard him
and mother talking last night. He wants her to become one of them. . .a
vampire. Mother cried, and asked about us. Father said, I could be one as well,
but Mokuba, my little brother, would have to wait a few years. So mother would
wait with Mokuba, while I get the fortunate of turning into one. I really don't
want to. And, I have thought about protesting against it, but father will
surely be angry if he knew I was listening in to such a conversation. Dammit!
Father is calling my name. . .and I fear, I know why. So this, is possibly my
last entry. Farwell.
Kaiba
Serenity gasped. Oh no! She
thought. His life doesn't seem enjoyable at all she thought. Taking a deep
breath, she once again turned the page.
Dear Journal, December 31st/1746
Surprised? Ha. I am. It's been
a while, and I can assure you I am not the same weak child I once was. As my
fears had been before, they had been right. Barely a chance to protest, my
father had grabbed me and turned me into what I have become, a vampire. At
first, I was terrified, I wouldn't drink the blood my father gave me, and
surely would I never bite into someone, and to add to that, I cried. Father's
friends laughed, and father was humiliated, and he beat me. He beat me into a
man that I am today. My father, being quite stupid, didn't think I could grow
strong over such little time. But I did, and I watched as he burned in the sun.
No longer will his filthy hands touch my skin. After my father's death, I went
back home to find mother and Mokuba, but I went home to more sadness. Mokuba
had been they're crying for my mother, who had been dead for quite some time.
Perhaps a week? Not knowing what to do, and forget the laws, I had made Mokuba
into one of us. Maybe, not even a week later, I had left to fest, and when I
had returned, they had killed my brother, the way I did with my father.
So, I have lost my whole
family, in less then two weeks or so. Oddly enough though, I don't feel
anything. . .except, perhaps, the missing of Mokuba. But even so, this is what
life has become for me, and I have accepted it.
Kaiba
Serenity breathed. She had felt
pity on Kaiba. He had never really told her about his parents, and she was left
speechless. How could she look at Kaiba again, without him knowing that she read
the very few pages of his journal? Serenity flipped to the most recent entry,
which was yesterday. She had wanted to read it, but when she heard a bang at
the door, she immediately slammed the book closed.
"What the hell are you doing in
there?" she heard an all to familiar voice call out to her. Serenity bit her
lip. "Just in the bathroom. Why, do you need it?" she asked him. "Now more
like" Kaiba replied in annoyance. Taking a deep breath, Serenity hid the book
under her shirt, which was noticeable no matter what she did. Please, please
don't make him see this she thought opening the door.
"Finally" he said, grabbing her
shirt, and throwing her out of the bathroom and slamming the door behind him.
When hearing the door slam, she ran to the bookshelf, and put the book back,
not sure if it was in place or not. She then ran back to her couch, and sat
there, her heart going a mile per minute. Kaiba soon came from the bathroom,
and could tell something was wrong. The look she was giving him told it right
away, and he would find out what it was.
He lit a few candles, as his
eyes roamed the bedroom, till it landed on the bookshelf. He gasped quietly,
and slowly turned to the brunette. "I will give you a chance, what were you
doing in the bathroom?" he asked her. Serenity sat there, not saying a word.
"Fine then woman, I know what you were doing. I'm not stupid, my journal does
not go on top of other books," he hissed, slowly walking up to her.
"Kaiba, I'm really sorry!
Honest, I didn't know it was that until I opened the first few pages and-""Shut
the hell up" Kaiba growled, slapping her across the face, It was the only thing
he could do to cause her pain until he knew if she were pregnant or not.
Serenity bit her lip, trying to keep her eyes from tearing up.
"How dare you read what is not
your to read" he hissed at her. "I said I was sorry Kaiba-"He then slapped her
again, this time a little harder. "Did I not tell you to shut up? And, I told
you not to call me Kaiba, idiot" he stated. Serenity said nothing, because she
knew he wouldn't listen, and he would just slap her again.
"With you, it's like talking to
a wall. When will you ever learn? Must I beat you till you do?" he asked her
angrily. "Like your father did?" she hissed back at him, forgetting her place.
Kaiba, once again slapped her hard, making her fall back in pain, tears finally
showing themselves. "If you ever speak of my father again, you will regret it,"
he stated, standing over her.
Suddenly, knocks came from the
door, making Kaiba move away from her and to the door. He unlocked it, making
Marik walk in, angrily, his eyes falling onto Serenity. "You Asshole" Marik
hissed, as he walked beside Serenity, making sure she was okay. "Marik, watch
it" Kaiba stated. Marik smirked. "I will not," he stated. Marik then checked to
see if the minds were okay, meaning they were alive and well after what
Serenity went through. "Get away from her" Kaiba said soon after. Watching
Marik touch her just angered him more.
Marik got up, and grabbed
Serenity, making her sit on the couch. "Well, don't you want to know if she
is?" Marik smirked. Kaiba growled, as Serenity trembled. "Tell us this instant"
Kaiba growled at him.
"Well, Serenity is pregnant"
Marik started. "But, not only is she, she has the luck of having twins" he
stated, as he watched Kaiba's mouth drop.
