A Certain Scientific Vampire Killer
Chapter 13: In the End
My eyes opened to the sight of a ceiling that I did not recognize, it was all black, or at least it appeared to me due to the lack of light in the room that I'm in currently. Thankfully, there was no irritating light, I've always preferred darkness compared to light simply because it's far easier on my eyes. Well, that and a room that was covered in darkness would make for an effortless place to fall asleep in, in contrast to a room that is engulfed in light, which would be an absolute hell to be in, if you ever wanted to obtain a few minutes of sleep at. But, all of that did not matter anymore, there was only one question that I wanted an answer to. Just one.
"Where am I?" I said while not noticing the presence of anyone that may or may not have been around me, as I tried looking around with my eyes, and tried to get up with all my might. No. For some inexplicable reason, no matter how much I try to move my limbs, they won't budge, not even in the slightest of movements. At the very least, I could move my eyes, though that is all I can do in the current situation that I'm in.
"Wow! I'm astonished! I know that I shouldn't be astonished by the results that you have already shown me, but I simply can't help it! I'm utterly impressed with how quickly you have returned back to the real world. Rejoice, young girl! Not only have you impressed me once again, but you have also escaped that fake world I put your conscious in, and you have awakened in the real world!" A voice said. I looked towards where the voice was coming from and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a child with dark raven-like hair, sitting on a massive throne that was made for a king to rest on. Except that was wrong. It was a throne made for an emperor to sit on top of because this child was none other than my ultimate enemy, the Vampire Emperor, Linkin Park, in the flesh.
"I see. I remember everything that happened before I left this place and was suddenly put into a 'fake world.' Before I do what I must, I want to thank you for showing me that world. At first, I was confused regarding everything that was occurring in that 'fake world' but, the meaning behind it became clear in the end. I understand everything now and I have learned a lesson that I should have learned a long time ago. For all of that, I thank you." I said with a genuine smile appearing on my face, I still hate that vampire bastard, because of all the pain that he caused me with every fiber of my being. However, the Vampire Emperor was able to reunite me with both Nanoha and my mother, albeit unintentionally. For that reason alone, I can thank him for that.
"Hahaha! The pleasure is all mine! Your honesty was enough to make that endeavor worth it! For the first time, you actually went out of your way to praise me without telling me a malicious death threat! So, you have finally learned the truth about yourself, and you have come to accept yourself for who you are. Now, it is the time! Join me, and together we will enslave this pathetic, worthless race of insignificant insects, and rule this world as the god among the heavens, and his human, but a valuable partner. And then, after this world has been engulfed in an infernal, fiery hell, then you may have the honor to become the first of the new race of vampires that will rule this planet for all of eternity!" Linkin Park yelled at the top of his lungs while having a sadistic smile and showcasing his sharp, vampire teeth towards me.
"First, let me say that you are right, but only about one thing. You are indeed right that I have discovered the truth about myself and the fact that I have now accepted the person that I'm now. However, everything else you said was batshit insane. I will only state this one time, and one time only. I will NEVER join you! After all, there is simply no reason for me to team up with a vampire bastard that I'm going to kill." I said with a cold as ice voice while staring directly towards the Vampire Emperor's eyes.
"What? I don't understand. What do you mean that you won't join me?! I have given you the chance to join me, the future ruler of this world, and the one who will annihilate that useless race of garbage and you refuse?! You said that you learned the truth about who you are, so there should be no reason to refuse me! I've said this already, but you and I are the same! We are both murderers that despise the human race and only exist to kill them!" Linkin Park yelled at the top of his lungs, in contrast to the earlier polite and calm voice he was using, this voice was one that he used when talking to the Vampire King Slipknot, a voice that only has hatred in it.
"You are wrong! I'm NOTHING like you! We are not even similar in the slightest! Do you wish to know the reason why? The reason is obvious and simple, it's because I'm a person who loves and values others and you are a murderer who enjoys the suffering and misfortune of others! That's the difference between us! For that reason, I will protect every single human being and defeat you!" I said while still maintaining eye contact with the Vampire Emperor.
"What? Are you actually being serious? The reason that you decided to refuse me and ascend from the insignificant insects that birthed you into this world, is because you actually care about them?! No. No. No. NO! Are you fucking kidding me? You were so close to becoming someone who would have been precious and worth living! But, you chose to ally yourself with those pathetic mongrels that don't deserve to exist in the slightest?! Why? Why would you choose them over the chance of becoming something that is better than them?!" Linkin Park roared at the top of his lungs, with bloodshot eyes, and a menacing scowl on his face.
"A better question would be are you actually being serious? Again, the answer is obvious and simple, it's because this planet is full of people that are precious and worth living. You, on the other hand, shouldn't even compare yourself to humans because compared to them you are nothing more than a pest that should have died a thousand years ago!" I yelled at the top of my lungs with resolve in my voice and determined eyes that stared directly towards the Vampire Emperor. I then proceeded to move with everything I had and managed to stand up again.
"I see. I gave you a choice to become something that is better than those insignificant insects but you have made your choice by deciding to ally yourself with such garbage. That makes you no better than them, in fact, you are worse than all of them because you had the choice to be something more but still refused and decided to remain as a pathetic, insignificant human. How disappointing. I have lost all admiration and interest I once had in you. Honestly, I don't even feel like giving you the honor of being killed by me, because you aren't even worth it. No matter, Slipknot! You may kill this useless trash, and don't hold back, give her the cruelest and merciless death for refusing me." Linkin Park said with a bored expression on his face and snapped his fingers.
At that instant, the Vampire King Slipknot appeared right in front of me, and I went into a defensive fighting position. Shit! That was insanely fast! To be fair, Slipknot isn't nearly as fast as Weezer was, that vampire bastard was able to surpass the speed of sound. Nevertheless, Slipknot is still no pushover, that level of speed is absolutely ridiculous! I need at least three seconds to summon a weapon to fight him with! What the hell am I going to do?
"Relax, try to calm yourself, young girl. I will not kill you just yet. If I were to assassinate you without you even having a chance to put up a resemblance to an actual fight, that would make me feel awful about myself. There is no honor in killing a person who has the strength to fight prematurely. Ha. Even a despicable monster like me has some honor in him that he just can't ignore. So, I will give you a grand total of five seconds to prepare yourself against me. After those five seconds have passed, I will use every fiber in my being to kill you in the most merciless and cruel way, just like my lord has requested of me to do." Slipknot said with his straight, dark, silver hair blocking his face while moving his hair out of the way and revealing a green American military uniform that was decorated with many different medals all over it.
"Giving you five seconds of prep time is the most I can do for you, I used to be a soldier, but now all I am is a loyal servant to my lord. Unlike Korn, who was a killing machine that I built who was only good at using his strength to overwhelm his enemies, and Weezer who was only useful at defeating enemies with his speed, I'm a bit lacking in comparison. The only thing that I'm good at when it comes to fighting is using my defense against people that I must destroy. My name is the Vampire King Slipknot and I will kill you in the name of my lord, Himegami Aisa!" Slipknot roared at the top of his lungs and moved his body into a fighting stance. I hate this vampire bastard almost as much as his 'lord' but at the very least, I can find some sense of humanity in him, albeit a very faint sense.
"I appreciate that, even though I insulted you and your lord you still give me the time to ready myself against you, you have my respect, though only as a warrior. My name is Himegami Aisa, in the name of Frenda Seivelun, my friend that you and your lord hurt, I will take your life!" I roared at the top of my lungs right back at Slipknot and made a fighting stance of my own. The next few seconds passed very quickly. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0.
Go! I already had the image of the weapon in my mind that I wanted to project into a weapon to defeat the monster that is in front of me. But then, just like the Vampire King Slipknot said to me earlier, he was going to fight me with every fiber of his being once those five seconds have passed. And now here he was, only a single meter away from me as that vampire bastard was about to land a hit against me with all the power that he possessed. There isn't any more time to think, all I can do is act and defeat him! But will this crazy plan that I thought of work?
A few days earlier
"Red Lance!" I said as the complete picture of the lance in my mind became fully realized as a blood-red lance was projected from my mind and into my hands. I then proceeded to twirl the blood-red lance in my hands around me and stuck it into the green grass that was on top of it.
"And that make one hundred weapons summoned from my mind and projected into my hands! Phew! I was actually able to produce a hundred of them! Not only that, I have greatly shortened the time it takes me to summon weapons from fifteen seconds, into just three seconds. Ha! Suck on that, you vampire bastard!" I said while I lifted my right fist into the night sky, and as I remembered the white hooded vampire girl who called herself, Kira, the same vampire that taught me how to summon weapons the correct way.
"Wow. It looks like it's really late right now. I wonder what time it is. WHAT? Are you kidding me?! I have been out here summoning weapons until 4 in the morning?! Jeez! Dam it! Did I really become so competitive with that vampire bastard that I didn't even consider stopping until it was this late?! Ugh! Why the hell do I do this to myself? This is the science fair incident all over again!" I yelled while trying not to scream too loud in order to not wake up Tsukuyomi, Frenda, or anyone else that is around the apartment that I live in.
"Well, at least I accomplished my goal of being able to summon weapons at a much quicker rate than I was previously able to do. But still! Was it really worth losing so much sleep time over it? Whatever, I guess, I'll go back inside the apartment soon, and get some shut-eye. Wait a second. What if even after all of that training that I just put myself through the wringer for, what if all of that wasn't enough?" I said with an unconfident expression on my face as I wondered about multiple possibilities of what could happen to me if I'm not strong enough. But then, a breeze of cool air passed throughout my body, it was absolutely freezing and chilled me to the bone!
"Holy shit! It's really cold out here! I mean, to be fair, it is currently the beginning of autumn, so it only makes sense that it's chilly right now. But, why the hell does it have to be utterly freezing? If only, I had a blanket with me that would instantly warm me up. No. Instead of having such a useless ability like being able to attract vampires and kill them, I should have had the power to change my body's temperature whenever I felt like it so that I don't ever have to feel freezing or scorching either. Oh well, it is what it is, I guess. But jeez, if only I could harden my skin or something like that, a beautiful girl's skin like mine is extremely sensitive to the cold air- hey, wait a second. Could that really work?" I said while holding my body with my arms close to my chest as I shivered out in the cold like a defensive animal with no place to call home, and then I looked towards my hands that felt as cold as ice as I pondered if it was possible.
In order to explain the idea that I'm thinking of, first, I have to describe how the human body works. Just getting out of the way, but, I'm no expert when it comes to the subject of human anatomy, Honestly, it was one of the most boring and insufferable classes that I had to deal with as a student of A Certain High School. It was boring in my opinion that Nanoha would have to bonk me on the head with the hard textbook that was given to every student who took that class. However, there was one thing that stuck out to me that I learned when taking the class it's something I would have never thought of. I learned that the human body contains a little bit of iron that allows us to live, breathe, and coexist with others on this planet. It was so cool that I kept it in the back of my mind and thought about it here and there. But, can I actually be able to harden the blood in my own body, and make a weapon out of it?
"Well, only one way to find out," I said as I lifted both of my arms into the night sky and performed various stretching positions in order to make my blood flow throughout my body better. I then proceeded to relax my body and take deep breathes. I breathed in and out. In and out. In and out. I kept doing those repetitive exercises until I was fully calm and composed. And then, I imagined the weapon that I wanted to summon from my mind and into my hands.
"I-OW! Ugh! That really hurt!" I screamed as the weapon that I wanted to summon was then projected into my hands. That weapon was an Iron-blood-red katana, and it was incredibly beautiful to look at if I do say so myself. But then, the weapon crumbled and turned into dust just as quickly as it took me to summon it. The dust that was once my weapon flowed into the clod night wind and away from me.
"Wow! It actually worked! Oh, uh, why do I feel so sleepy all of a sudden?" I said as I proceeded to pass out and enter a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of summoning one hundred and one weapons in a single night.
Back to the present time
There isn't any time left for me to think about if this will work or not! This is a do-or-die situation! So, of course, I'm not going to just die like this. I refuse to die to a vampire bastard like that guy! There is only one thing that I can do right now. Fight. Fight! I will protect Frenda, and defeat the enemy that is in front of me, no matter what!
"Iron Silver Gauntlet!" I said as the complete picture of the gauntlet in my mind became fully realized as an iron-blood-silver gauntlet was projected from my mind and into my hands. I then proceeded to strike the Vampire King Slipknot with the iron-blood-silver gauntlet, right in his smug and annoying face!
"What!" Slipknot screamed, and in the next instant, the iron-blood-silver gauntlet that I projected and hit the Vampire King Slipknot in his face with proceeded to crumble against his face and broke into many pieces. But, not even a second later, Slipknot's face also proceeded to break apart, and chunks of his flesh fell onto the hard, stone-ground that this battle was taking place on.
"You-YOU BASTARD! Do you really think that attack was enough to stop me?! I'm the right-hand servant of the Vampire Emperor! I will not allow myself to be defeated by an insignificant human like you!" Slipknot screamed at the top of his lungs, while his eyes were bloodshot and as he gritted what was left of his mouth and the few amount of teeth that he had left in pain. This monster won't stop. No. He will keep refusing to stop until one of us is dead.
I know that. I knew that already. There was no way my attack disfiguring the Vampire King Slipknot's face would have made him give up. If I remember correctly, Slipknot said that he used to be a soldier, and soldiers don't quit until all of their enemies are destroyed. It's a really stubborn thought process that I used to go by, so I understand it. But, the difference between that vampire bastard and me is that I'm not fighting him simply because someone told me to do it. No, the reason I fight, is because I will save Frenda and move forward as a person together with her by my side!
"Iron Silver Twin Katanas!" I said as the complete picture of the katanas in my mind became fully realized as the iron-blood-silver twin katanas were both projected from my mind and into my hands. I then proceeded to hit the Vampire King Slipknot with my iron-blood-silver twin katanas, into his stomach!
"NO! I CAN"T DIE WITHOUT FULFILLING MY PROMISE TO MY LORD!" Slipknot screamed at the top of his lungs as my iron-blood-silver twin katanas proceeded to rip Slipknot's body apart and slash his body into two different pieces. Both pieces of the Vampire King Slipknot's now torn apart body proceeded to crash onto the ground and he was already dead.
"Tch. It was such a pity, Slipknot was no more than a dog that I used to crush my enemies with, but I guess that he couldn't even do that right. I had such high hopes for him, but he was such a disappointment right until the very end. Rejoice, young girl! The only enemy you have left to face is none other than me, Linkin Park, the almighty and invincible Vampire Emperor!" Linkin Park roared at the top of his lungs, as he proceeded to jump from his huge throne and rushed straight towards me in the air with blinding speed.
And then, at that exact same moment, I threw both of my iron-blood-silver twin katanas directly towards the Vampire Emperor Linkin Park's body. Unfortunately, one of the iron-blood-silver twin katanas crumbled to dust in midair and failed to hit him. However, the other iron-blood-silver twin katana smashed against Linkin Park's right arm. Instantly, the iron-blood-silver twin katana crumbled to dust and fell onto the hard, stone ground. Right after that, Linkin Park's right arm also fell onto the hard, stone-ground after being struck with my iron-blood-silver twin katana!
"You-YOU BITCH! HOW DARE YOU CUT OFF MY FUCKING ARM!" Linkin Park screamed at the top of his lungs with a menacing scowl and bloodshot eyes as he stopped in place while in midair. I did it. I finally wiped that cocky smile off that vampire bastard's face!
"That was for hurting my friend! That was for hurting Frenda, you vampire bastard!" I roared at the top of my lungs with a determined expression on my face and resolve in my eyes as I clenched my right fist towards the Vampire King Linkin Park in retaliation for all of the pain that he has caused against me, Frenda, and everyone else that monster ended up hurting throughout his one thousand year existence!
"Shit! I will make sure that you regret what you just did to me for the rest of your life, you pathetic, insignificant mongrel!" Linkin Park screamed at the top of his lungs again, while covering the gaping hole of where his right arm used to be with his left hand, as he then proceeded to fly away at full speed towards an upper floor of the castle. Like hell, I'll let that vampire bastard do that!
"You are not getting away from me, you vampire bastard!" I roared at the top of my lungs once again as I proceeded to imagine another weapon within my mind. But then, I collapsed onto the hard, stone ground and coughed up some of my own blood onto the floor. Dam it! I'm at my limit! I can't pursue that monster right now! I have to give my body some time to heal or my blood vessels will burst! But that is fine. Because now since both of my enemies are out of the way, I can now focus on the goal that I swore to myself back in the 'fake world.' That goal being is to help out my friend who is in a pinch right now and save her, no matter what!
"Haah. Haah. Haah. Haah." I breathed in and out as I obtained some much-needed air in my lungs after projecting three weapons from my mind in succession and one after another. I then blinked my eyes several times, as my surroundings were becoming difficult to visualize, and I tried to rub both of my eyes in order to see at least a bit better. I'm running on pure adrenaline right now. I'm at my absolute limit. But, I can't stop now. I have to move forward.
I attempted to move my body and walk and to my surprise, I can still move, though albeit barely. I moved forward, with every step that my body rigorously performed, my blood vessels felt like they were going to burst out of my body and cause me to die. But, I can't stop now. No. I could have chosen to give up and be killed a long time ago, but, I didn't. I chose to fight. I kept on fighting. And I will continue to fight. Not until all of my enemies are destroyed, but until I can get those quiet, peaceful days full of trivial things back and ensure the safety of the people that I care about with all of my heart. That is the only wish that the girl named Aisa Himegami has.
I moved forward, again, again, again, and again. Every proceeding step is more difficult to perform than the last. I kept on moving forward until I reached the person that I was desperately moving towards with everything that I had left in my body. I was now finally near her. The girl who chose to fight by my side in order to help me. The friend that protected me again and again even though it meant risking her own life all of those times. This girl who wanted nothing more than to be my friend was currently chained up to one of the many walls of the massive castle that I'm in. I swore to save the girl that is now right in front of me, her name is Frenda Seivelun.
"Hey, it's been a while, hasn't it, Frenda," I said with a weak smile and a hoarse voice that was making talking quite difficult as I thought I was about to spit out some of my own blood out of my mouth and onto the hard, stone-ground again. I looked towards Frenda, she still had a certain expression on her face, that I knew all too well. I have had that same expression on my face many times in the past, so it was easily recognizable for me, though it was hard to look at nonetheless. Frenda had the face of someone who has lost the will to continue living.
The girl named Frenda Seivelun did not respond to me at all and remained motionless as she resembled a dried-up husk of a human being.
"You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. It's ok. I understand how you are feeling right now, so I know if I would ask you to talk back to me, it would be too much for you to handle. I get it, but instead of you talking to me, just listen to what I have to say to you. For a long, long time, I was convinced that I was utterly worthless. I thought of myself as a person who should not live. I considered committing suicide multiple times, but always at the last second, I would chicken out. But then, a certain somebody gave me some courage to continue on living. However, it just wasn't enough to convince me that I had any worth as a person. I then directed my anger and hatred towards that self-proclaimed 'Vampire Emperor and his underlings in order to rid myself of the guilt that I felt about killing so many vampires that night. But then I spiraled out of control and ended up hurting one of the people that I valued most in my life. I let a person that I value as one of my best friends get hurt by those vampire bastards, all because of my selfishness and not believing in you." I said with a weak smile and a hoarse voice while I was talking to Frenda, as she was still motionless and didn't respond in any noticeable way.
"I was then completely consumed by the hatred that I felt against those vampire bastards. I was only able to think about killing that 'lord' and everyone else who would stand in my way. I didn't even consider the idea of actually saving my friend, that same person I valued more than my own life. But then, when I felt like I didn't even know I was anymore, I was showed a world where all the people that I lost were alive, a world that was perfect and without any flaws whatsoever. It was a perfect world that had everything I could have ever wanted and more, but it only seemed to be perfect. In actuality, that world contained people that I knew who were completely different from the people that I remembered them being like. It was fundamentally imperfect because you weren't in it. However, there was one person who was almost identical to the person that I perceived her to be, that person was my mother." I said as I continued talking to Frenda who didn't move in the slightest, she only blinked and breathed once every minute.
"My mother was not the exact same person that I remembered her being, if that was the case, she would have remembered how she died. Even still, that person was none other than my mother, she was the only thing that was real in that 'fake world'. But then, as I was crying onto my mother after trying to escape these counterfeits that assumed the roles of people that I knew, my mother told me what she honestly thought of me. My mother thought of me as a kind and loving person who values the lives of the people that are around them simply because she loves humanity. I wanted to believe that she was right, I did, I really did, but I couldn't. And then, my mother reminded me of the lesson that I should have never forgotten. My mother told me to 'just be yourself' it was such a simple lesson, but it was something that I really needed to hear. At that moment, I realized that even though I hurt so many vampires, it wasn't my fault. I only did what I had to do in that situation, and that I should hold no regrets about my actions. That doesn't mean I should just forget about the people that I killed, I should atone, but by moving forward and bettering myself as a person. That is all that I must do in order for me to be relieved of the sins that I committed. Nothing more and nothing less." I said as I finished telling Frenda of an abridged version of my life story up to this point, as Frenda started to move her lips in response.
"I'm happy. I'm really happy for you, Aisa. I'm truly happy for you from the bottom of my heart. But, while you have found your reason to continue living, I have completely lost mine. I have no reason whatsoever to continue living after I learned that I'm going to die. I know that people eventually die, I have lost people that I care about too, so I knew that already. I would have found some resolve in myself if I had a decade or at least a few years left to live. It would have been really short, but, I would have made sure that it would have been enough for me. I would have kept living my life with no regrets as I pleased until I would draw my last breath. But, I don't even have the chance to do that! I don't have a few years left to live or even a few months left to live! One month! That is all the time I have been given until I die! That isn't nearly enough time to do anything! So what choice do I have left?! Aisa, the only thing I can do left is just sit here and wait until I'm killed!" Frenda said as her voice became louder and louder until she screamed the last part of what she said at the top of her lungs.
"You are wrong! You said that there is nothing left for you to do but just sit there and be killed, are you joking?! You aren't going to die today or tomorrow, so there is still plenty of time for you to continue living! I don't know what that vampire bastard showed you, but honestly, I don't want to know! But, it shouldn't matter to you because it hasn't happened yet! You cannot change the past but you can affect the future! That means there is still a chance that fate can be changed! So fight against that fate! Fight! Fight! You have to fight and keep on fighting until you are alive in the end, Frenda! Realize that you are not alone in this! I'm your friend! And as your friend, I will fight with you! We will fight together against that cruel future you were shown until it's completely erased and all that is left of it is a memory!" I screamed at the top of my lungs towards Frenda as I couldn't help but spit out some of my blood onto the hard, stone-ground while I was screaming towards Frenda.
"I can't believe you are even suggesting such a thing, Aisa! You are coughing up your own blood onto the floor by just yelling! If you were to look at yourself in the mirror, you would know that you can't keep fighting anymore! But, I'll tell you what you like, Aisa! You look like you are on the verge of death! You look like if you received even a single hit against your body, it would instantly cause your own death! So how can you be saying that you will actually help me when you are the one who looks like someone that is going to die?!" Frenda screamed right back at me in retaliation, and I then slammed my head against her head by performing a headbutt in response to what she said to me.
"You idiot! OW! Jeez, that really hurts! But, would you look at that. Guess what? I'm alive! So, I WON"T be dying that easily! Well, I guess the headbutt proved my point, haha. Anyway, I'm not dead just yet, so I'm going to continue to help you out until the very end! But, let's just say, hypothetically, things don't work out and you are guaranteed to suffer that fate you saw in that vision that self-proclaimed 'Vampire Emperor' showed you. Even though, that vampire bastard could have just easily lied to you, let's say he was telling the truth. That is still a ridiculous reason to believe in that vision! So, instead of just sitting there until you die, I will help you experience some of the things you didn't yet as well as revisiting the things you loved to do! It might only be a single month, but I will make sure that month for you is the best time that you have ever lived through in your entire life, Frenda!" I screamed loudly again, not to the point that I would cough up blood again, but just loud enough to express my point to Frenda.
"You really just said that you will make sure the one month that I have left is the best time of my life?! I don't even know how or why you could possibly say something so greedy! All of that is just so dam greedy! How do you know that you can even accomplish such a reality?! You said that Vampire Emperor could have been lying, but how I can be sure that you aren't lying instead of him?! You can't see into the future as he did, so you have no idea how things will play out! For all I know, you can just be rapidly speeding up my time of death as well as your own death too! You have no proof that it will all work out so how can I possibly believe in you? Don't tell me you have forgotten. Did you honestly forget how you told me that we were never friends from the start?! I thought of you as my friend! In this world where other people only used me or felt nothing towards me, you were the first to ever talk to me like I was just another human being! That made me trust you so much! And then you went and betrayed my trust by saying all of those awful things to me! So how? How the hell can I possibly believe in a person that has only lied to me again and again like it's just something so trivial and meaningless?! Frenda screamed at the top of her lungs again, as she now started coughing from screaming so much in a short amount of time.
"You are right. You were right about what you said concerning me, Frenda. You were right about how I chose such an awful ideal to live by. You were right about how I shouldn't have hated me for such a long time. You were right about how I betrayed your trust in me by saying such awful things to you. And you were right about almost everything you said to me. I'm sorry. I'm deeply sorry for all the pain that I caused you when I said those awful things to you." I said as I bowed my entire body towards Frenda in apology for being so awful towards her.
However, there was one thing that you were wrong about when you said all of that stuff to me the other day at the park. Just one thing. You were wrong when you said that we should have never become friends in the first place. Why were you wrong? The answer should be obvious. It's because, I care about you so much, Frenda! I love how you become so embarrassed after I compliment you. I love how you wear all those cute clothes that make you look younger than your actual age. And I love how you were always by my side to help me out when I was in a pinch. I know that I've been rambling for quite a bit of time, but I love you, Frenda! You are one of the kindest and sweetest people that I have ever met in my entire life so I want to continue being friends with you and being by your side until the very end!" I said with a cheerful smile and a blushing red expression on my face to Frenda.
"I want to believe in you. I really want to believe in what you are saying to me, Aisa. But I can't. How can I believe in you after what you said to me the other day at the park?! You betrayed my trust that I had in you! You can go on and on about what you loved about me, but I need a reason! I need a reason to believe and trust in you again! How can you possibly say that you loved and cared about me as a friend when you don't even have a reason to do so?!" Frenda screamed at the top of her lungs towards me again and coughed hard due to do screaming so much in a single day and repeatedly.
"Idiot, I love you, because of everything I just said to you. But, if you want a reason, I do have one. My reason for loving you so much is because you saved me that day when Weezer attacked me at the grocery store! We only just met so we were basically total strangers, you were kind of annoying and you did unfairly beat me in that game and stole the can of mackerel that should have been mine. But, all of that doesn't matter because you still helped me out! You saved my life and Tsukuyomi's life as well! So how can I not love you for doing such a selfless, albeit stupid act of bravery! That's why I love you so much, Frenda! However, I know that isn't enough for you to believe in me because that is my reason and my reason alone for loving you. So here's your reason, Frenda, believe in me again because we are friends! Friends always help each other out when they are in a pinch, so I will help you out until the very end! I promise! I promise that from the bottom of my heart! So instead of choosing to let your fate get the better of you in the end, choose me! I'll say it again, choose me, and I will make sure that the rest of your life is precious and worth living!" I said with a smile on my face while I was making eye contact with Frenda, as her eyes were full of surprise and awe.
"Even if you only have one month left to live, I will make sure that one month is full of fun times that you will always remember until the end! We can eat some delicious food that you have never eaten before! We can go do skydiving if that's something you want to do! I'm afraid of heights but I will still be there for you so that we can cheer each other on! We can even go to another country that you have never been to! I would have to obtain a passport if we went by plane, but we can always travel by boat if you are ok with that! There are still so many fun things we can do together in a week, so the stuff that we can do in a month would be almost limitless! After all this time, I found how what makes life truly precious and worth living! The answer is to spend it with the people you care about by doing trivial things until the very end! I said with a cheerful smile on my face towards Frenda who was still staring at me.
"I love you Frenda! I love you so much and I want to be by your side until the very end! Your fate isn't determined because of some absurd time limit! So, I'll say it one more time, all you have to do is choose me, and that one month will be guaranteed to be the greatest time of your entire life!" I said with a bright smile on my face, determined eyes, and resolve in my voice, towards Frenda, as tears were dripping from her eyes and onto the hard, stone ground.
"Dummy. You made me cry again. I can't believe you made a young and cute girl like me cry not once, but twice. You made me cry twice on subsequent days no less. I don't know how the future will turn out. I'm also a very pessimistic person so I don't know if everything will be ok. But, I'll choose you. I'll try to believe and trust in you again. So, you better not betray me again, or I will make sure that I shove a bomb up your butt!" Frenda yelled as she was pointing one of her fingers at me and stuck out her tongue towards me.
"I promise. I promise that I will never betray you again. And I promise to give you a bright future where you are having so much fun that you won't even consider when everything will end!" I said with a bright smile on my face, determined eyes, and resolve in my voice.
"So let's finish this together, Frenda! Red Knife!" I said as the complete picture of a knife in my mind became fully realized as a blood-red knife was projected from my mind and into my hands. I then proceeded to cut the chains that were restricting Frenda, and break them forever as I finally accomplished my goal. I finally apologized to Frenda after what I said to her. And I finally saved Frenda, my friend, as we both proceeded to walk towards the top floor of the castle together while holding our hands, as nothing will ever force us to be apart from each other again.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A bone-chilling scream echoed throughout the castle, as I and Frenda were still holding our hands while walking up the many amounts of stairs from the bottom floor to the top floor, and now we were running up the huge amounts of stairs in response to the scream that we heard.
After making our way up the many flights of stairs that almost seemed neverending, we were both then greeted with the sight of the top floor of the massive castle. We then opened the door that led to the room on the top floor of the castle, while still holding our hands with each other.
And then, after finally arriving at the room on the top floor of the massive castle, we were greeted with the sight of the Vampire Emperor brutally killing another victim. Except that's wrong. No, to our absolute horror, both I and Frenda saw the horrific sight of the Vampire Emperor, Linkin Park, in the flesh having his blood sucked by another vampire. This other vampire was draining the blood of Linkin Park as he proceeded to scream in agony due to the intense pain that he was receiving without any mercy whatsoever.
This other vampire was a young-looking girl, who was wearing a completely white jacket along with the rest of her clothing being white. The other vampire was unmistakably the vampire bastard, Kira, who helped me learn how to use my power correctly. However, something was very off about how she looks right now. Instead, of having white hair like I thought she had, the girl in front of me has brunette hair that went to the top of her shoulders. That hair. I know someone with that exact hair color. But where have I seen it before?
"Kira, what the hell are you doing here?!" I yelled towards the white hooded girl with brunette hair as she jolted out of pure surprise and proceeded to turn around and reveal herself to me.
"What? No. No. No. NO! This is wrong! You aren't supposed to be here! He promised that you wouldn't be involved! So why are you here, Aisa?" The white hooded girl with brunette hair fully turned around and showed her face to me. And to my absolute horror, that girl was indeed someone I knew. The girl in front of me was not Kira, but someone else I knew very well.
"Huh? Why? Why are you here Nanoha?" I said with a completely shocked expression on my face and bewilderment in my voice, as the white hooded girl with brunette hair revealed herself to be none other than Nanoha Nakamura, my best friend who was supposed to be dead, is now suddenly here in this massive castle, alive, and is also a vampire no less.
Hey everyone! Ren Here! So for this chapter, we returned to the real world and Aisa defeated Slipknot and fought against the Vampire Emperor! Aisa also finally was able to make up with Frenda, which I've been wanting to write for a while because having them on bad terms with each other is depressing but interesting at the same time for me to write if that makes sense. And then we have the big twist that Aisa's best friend, Nanoha, who was thought to be dead since chapter 4 is indeed alive and a vampire too! This story has hit a major turning point that I've been wanting to write since Chapter 1 and I can't wait to write more! Also, this story is roughly about 60% done, just letting you guys know. What does this all mean for the story? Read the next chapter when it comes out next Sunday to find out! get excited! Ren out!
