Hot. Everything was burning as Rose tried to crawl her way out of her personal hell. She gasped as her eyes shot open and everything was burry. A thousand needles pierced her body and all she wanted was for the pain to stop.
She desperately looked around for anything familiar and was about to give up until she heard a deep voice say. "Rose, you have to stop doing this to yourself."
She recognized the far away voice but suddenly felt a burning sensation in her throat. She hands landed on the area as she tried to extinguish the fire inside of her body but nothing was working.
The deep voice sighed and pulled her closer to him and she felt it immediately, the veins pumping through his skin and it was hypnotizing. She knew what she needed but refused to give into the temptation and pushed the stranger away while weakly whispering "No.."
The stranger moved closer to her and said. "Rose, please stop tourching yourself. It's ok."
Rose weakly shook her head and tried to move away from the stranger all while feeling intense pain in her body.
He stranger looked down at his arm and made a slight cut. Rose stopped moving when she smelled the strong liquid luring her in and in a second she had pinned him down on the hard surface.
She shook wildly as she tried even harder to resist the pull while the stranger looked up at her with sad eyes.
He then forcefully pulled her head towards his neck and felt her tongue graze the side of his throat. He closed his eyes as he felt Rose's fangs pierce his skin and listened to the sound of her drinking him.
Rose on the other hand was overcome with sweet relief as her fangs dug deeper into his skin. No, Kaname's skin. She knew the taste of his blood quite well and she hated herself for it. Monster. Disgusting. Abomination. A disgrace, that is what you are.
Kaman heard her internal thoughts and silently pleaded for her to stop thinking so low of herself. After Rose had enough she lifted her head and looked into his eyes. He raised a hand up and cupped her cheek and stated. "You are not an abomination, Rose."
Rose looked away from him and realized that they were in Kaname's bedroom at the Moon dorms. She then wiped the blood off of her mouth and climbed off of him. "Why are we here?"
Kaman noticed the change in subject and sighed "After you passed out I carried you back here, I thought that you didn't want anyone to see you like that."
Rose nodded her head in understating and hugged herself. She felt absolutely repulsed by what she had done. It was disgusting and she enjoyed every minute if it. It made her sick.
Kaman noticed her closing herself off and changed the subject once more. "I am sorry about what happened with Hanabusa, he will be disciplined appropriately."
Rose laughed sarcastically and shook her head. "Appropriately? Does that mean you are going to beat him half to death?"
Kaman looked away and said. "That wasn't my intention. I was just going to inform him about the policies of the academy."
Rose stood and walked over to the door. "Ok, but go easy on him, it's not his fault that he's a cocky son of a bitch."
Kaman smiled at this and walked over to her. "I suppose you are right, but do you have to leave so soon?"
Rose looked at the window and sighed. "Yeah, its almost time for classes. See you later Kaname." Then she opened the door and left the Lord of the vampires alone with his thoughts.
Not long after Rose left a knock was heard and opened to reveal Hanabusa.
Kaname was seated at his desk and gazed at the vampire with an invisible force. "Hanabusa, I think you can figure out what you are here for."
Hanabusa nervously looked around the room and whispered. "Yes, Lord Kaname. But that human spoke out of line." Kaname sighed and stood up out of his chair.
Then he approached Hanabusa and slapped him across the face. Hanabusa coughed and held his cheek in pain. "Lord, Kaname I..." But before he could finish another blow was given and he fell on to the floor.
He looked up at Kaname and thought that for a spit second, that he saw anger on the pureblood's face. At that moment Hanabusa was afraid. He felt an intense presence and he knew that it was Kaname's aura. He quickly got on his knee's and pleaded for the pureblood to spare his life " Lord Kaname I'm so sorry! Just please don't kill me!"
Kaname's aura dissipated and he looked at Hanabusa in amusement. "Stand up,Aidou." Hanabusa greatly complied and shot up from the floor.
Kaname moved in front of him and spoke with raging authority. "Listen to me, Aidou. Here at this academy we are teaching pacifistism which means that we are trying to work with the Day Class. That being said..."
Then Kaname leaned closer to Kaname so they are inches apart. " Take whatever Rose and Yuki says as a direct order from me."
Suddenly Hanabusa watched as Kaname's eyes turned red as he stated. "And, if you touch any of them then you will have to answer to me. Do you understand, Adiou?"
Hanabusa gulped and slowly nodded his head. "Yes, Lord Kaname. It will not happen again."
Kaname nodded and walked over to the window. "Very well, you are dismissed."
Hanabusa quickly bowed his head said "Thank you Lord Kaname." Then he walked out the doors of the pureblood's room.
Rose into the class room late and noticed a familiar silver haired boy staring at her. She turned away from him and quick apologized to her teacher before settling in her seat. All throughout the lesson she could feel Zero's sharp gaze on her but she tried to ignore him.
When the bell rang Rose quickly tried to escape but stopped when she heard Zero say. "Rose! Wait!"
Rose reluctantly turned around and was met with his warm eyes. "Can I talk to you..."
He stopped when he noticed a small crowd forming around them. They were just interested in the gossip of the day. "...alone?"
Rose didn't want to say yes but she knew she would have to if she wanted to continue talking to him. She nodded her head and followed him to a clearing with a large fountain in the middle.
Zero then pulled out his bloody rose and reached it towards Rose. "Well then... do it." Rose looked at the gun in confusion, had she really wanted her to kill him?
She sighed and placed her hand on his and the gun, lowering in slowly. "I'm going to kill you Zero. Not without a reason."
Zero looked at the gun and then aimed at towards Rose. "What if I try to kill you, then you would have to kill me right?" Rose looked at Zero sadly.
The bloody rose wouldn't kill a human but it sure would hurt like a bitch. Rose smiled at his request and grabbed the gun, pulling it towards her chest.
Then she closed her eyes and waited for the loud sound to fill the forest. But nothing came. She opened her eyes to find Zero's hand shaking. "Wha? What are you doing? I could've really hurt you."
Rose sighed and walked past him. " If you had ended my life there Zero, I would've been happy."
Zero's head whipped to hers in horror and questioned. "Don't you value your life at all?"
She looked down at the ground and whispered. "My life ended a long time ago, Zero" Then without a word she walked out of the forest.
After Rose's words Zero decided he need some time by himself to figure things out so he walked into town to get some food. As he sat down at the counter he thought about last night.
He had absolutely devoured her and she forgave him? How was that possible? She said that she needed at reason, wasn't being a monster reason enough?
He paused when he heard a scream and recognized it as Yuki. Had she followed him?
He quickly ran out of the restaurant and found a dark alleyway. He heard movement and pulled out his gun just in time to see a figure float past him. He turned around to find a creature in woman's clothing in his path. He could tell right away that it was a Level E vampire. He smirked at the creature and pointed the gun in its direction. "So I see you have lost your humanity Level E." The level E smiled widely and said "The girl...the girl." and then ran towards the hunter.
He quickly dodged her and kicked her in the back. It fell to the ground but regained its stance after a minute. It charged once more and Zero held his gun towards her but hesitated when he remembered someone close to him.
The vampire stopped charging and looked at the hunter curiously. Then her smile widened and her raspy voice said. "One of us? One of us."
Zero was repulsed by her response and imeaditly pulled his trigger, causing the vampire to disappear into dust. He looked up at the tower next to him and secretly hoped that Yuki was alright.
Yuki was not alright.
She tried to follow Zero after he mysteriously disappeared but instead found a young boy. While trying to return his balloon she was cornered in an alley and found out that the boy was a vampire. But not just a vampire. A level E.
She quickly ran away and found herself to face with the boy in the tower. He was about to attack her when she heard a soft humming in the distance, a peaceful humming.
She looked up to find someone standing at the entrance in a ray of light. She squinted her eyes to try and see her savior but it was to blinding. The vampire boy looked at the figure in awe and in fear as he slowly backed away from them.
She heard the figure speak smooth and soft like a butterfly's wings. "You poor boy. You don't have to suffer anymore."
The vampire boy was hypnotized by the voice at found himself drawing closer. Yuki also felt compelled to move towards the voice and tried to look closer but suddenly smelled the scent of vanilla and her eyes started to close.
Yuki was awoken to someone calling her name as she opened her eyes. She was met with Kaname who was looking at her curiosity. "Yuki? Why are you sleeping here?"
Yuki looked around and found herself still in the tower like before, only the little boy was gone. "I.. I don't know. I was being chased by a vampire and then this figure showed up and I must've fell asleep."
Kaname nodded his head in understanding and helped her up. "Well I'm not sure who that figure was but I must thank them next time for making sure you were alright."
Yuki smiled at this and walked out of the tower with Kaname by her side.
Later that evening a large black limo pulled up to an abandoned estate in the woods before slowly stopping into front of the door. Kaname and Rose stepped out of the car and headed inside of the mansion one after another.
They were brought downstairs and were met with Kain Cross. Rose glanced at him and asked. "Is it ready?"
Kain nodded his head and said. "Yes, but I highly disapprove of this method."
Rose stopped in front of him and whispered "Why? Are you going to stop me?"
Kain took a step back and sighed. "No,of course not."
Once she knew he was serious she walked over to a wooden door in the corner. She had to do this. She opened the door and saw a group of people scattered around the room with a proctection symbol on the floor covered in chains.
Kaname moved to the center of the circle and pulled out a jar. He then opened the jar and spread its contents on the floor. Kaname looked over at Rose and asked "Are you ready?"
She nodded her head and moved to the middle of the room. She then stretched out her hand and could feel the hot energy rising up in her fingers. The room dropped in temperature as Rose opened she eyes to reveal she no longer had a pupil, just two blue shining orbs.
The dust of the ground began to swirl until it started to create shape. It screamed in pain and transformed into the woman that attacked Zero in the square.
Rose slowly lowered her arms and opened her eyes towards the creature. "Level E, you will tell me what I need to know."
The vampire looked around the room frightened of what had just occurred. "You...You..I was dead."
Rose took a step closer to the creature and sighed. "Yes, you were but I brought you back to answer my question."
The Level E smirked at Rose and mocked "And how are you going to do that princess?"
Rose's eyes turned cold and suddenly throned vines appeared out of the walls and grabbed the vampires arms and legs, pulling her back. The thorns started to dig into the Level E's skin and it howled in pain.
Rose took another step closer and coldly asked. "I am only going to ask this once, where is he?"
The vamp struggled against its bonds and pleaded "I don't know what your talking about girl."
Rose's eyebrow went down and the thorns dig deeper into her skin. "Of course you do. You wanted to know about Yuki so that means you work for him. Now, WHERE IS HE?!"
Suddenly the vamp's eyes grew wide and it chuckled at Rose's frustration and sang "Oh wait! I know who you are, I can't believe I never noticed it before, well until you sounded like him."
Rose froze and felt Kaname on her back. He couldn't pull her away from this, she needed to know. She tried to regain her cool but it was slowly slipping away. "You are talking nonsense."
The vamp laughed even harder and looked at Rose like she was its next prey. "Of course not and you know it. He's going to come soon you know. He is going to harvest his flower that he planted so long along.
Rose clenched her fist and whispered "Shut up..."
But of course the Level E continued on while struggling against the vines. "And when he does. You will be his,flower. Oh yes. And then he will feast. Oh he will feast on ripe flower for all of eternity."
Rose was struggling to keep it together because she knew this was what the vampire wanted but she could stop herself.
That was until the vamp leaned as close as possible and whispered "You would like that wouldn't you, Isabelle."
Rose shook with fury and finally released her pent up rage on the creature. A blight light engulfed the room and the vampire screamed in pain as it was eradicated from existence. When the light disappeared all that was left of the Level E was a pile of dust once more
Kaname walked over to Rose and supported her so she wouldn't fall over. She quietly sunk to the floor and held onto him. She needed him right now, he understood the pain she was feeling. He responded by warping his arms around him and whispered. "There's no need to worry, Rose. We will find him."
