Authors Note: I'm so sorry my computer crashed and I had to rewrite
every chapter I had on the computer (that I managed to save) onto my
phone and since I had about 3 chapters I had to rewrite those and I
lost 2 of those 3 chapters because my friend accidentally deleted them
off my phone. So again sorry for taking so long and I updated Torture
Comes In Different Forms first because the chapter was really short
soon too. Mentions death.
Chapter 3: Death of a Beloved
"So how was your first day at THAT school?" Dante asked through my cell.
"Not good not bad." I yelled from the hotel living room because my
phone was where I left it, on the kitchen table. Since we had to find
out own place we decided on the Blue Dragon Hotel.
"Uh huh care to elaborate?" I could halfway see the raised eyebrow he
was giving us.
"It was good cause we made friends pretty fast. Bad cause its well
different. Gym wasn't even challenging! 5 laps around the football
field, we finished that in under 10 minutes." I called out again
flipping through the channels.
"Where's Bridget?"
"She's hanging out with 2 friends she met today. Since we have
different classes we have different friends too."
"Oh"
"Hey Dante aren't you suppose to be on duty by now?"
"SHIT THEIR GONNA KILL ME! Bye sis love ya."
I laughed "You too bro." Then I hung up.
'Oh god please help my stupid brother' I thought laughing. I got up
off the couch and walked to my bedroom. I guess I should go visit her
I thought pulling on a black mini skirt, a gray tank top, a black belt
and my all favorite black hoodie. As I left the hotel room I halfway
ran into someone.
"Sorry." I mumbled
"Will I thought I might run into you." A voice sneered.
My eyes shot up and I met with my cousin's brown eyes which were now
rimmed with red.
"M...Mana." I stuttered backing away.
"I'm so glad you remember me... cousin." She smirked showing her two
sharp fangs. They two were tinted a bit red indicating that she had
killed recently.
"Why are you here?" I asked
"So I can be to first to kill you." She growled
"Well I'm waiting." I smiled gripping onto the handle of knife I had
stashed in my belt.
"Not just yet. I need to gather some info about u first." She
whispered before disappearing into thin air.
I stared at the spot she had been standing. I thought she was killed
when her family's house was raided by the Daku I thought, my eyes
widening when I realized the Daku had probably changed her instead of
killing her. I shook my head and continued walking to my destination,
I kept the encounter in the back of my mind though. About ten minutes
later I was standing in front of a tombstone labeled 'ARIA NIGHT
DAUGHTER SISTER AND KINDEST SOUL' Dante and Bridget came up with the engraved words.I carefully placed the pink roses
down in front of her tombstone before sitting down on my knees in
front of it.
"I miss you sis. I'm sorry for what happened to you. I don't think
Dante has forgiven himself either, after all you were his twin.
Bridget and I wish you were here too." I stopped when I felt tears
pouring down my face. I took in a few deep breaths and hung my head. I
reached into my hoodie and pulled out my wallet, inside was a picture
of a girl with silver and pink streaked hair. Her eyes had been
naturally pink but it didn't make her seem evil, in fact it did the
complete opposite it made her look nicer. Aria had always been the
peacemaker of the family back when Bridget and I had been in grade 8.
We used to play cruel jokes on Dante. My favourite was probably us
dumping punch on his head in the middle of the family photo my uncle
was taking. Mom, Dad, our Uncle and Aunt sat there laughing at him
while Aria calmed him down, Bridget and I laughed from the safe
distance, which happened to be the top of a tree.
I sighed and the flashback ended. Wiping away the evidence of my tears
I got up and walked out of the cemetery. I felt angry now. That stupid Dean its his fault Bridget and I are so far away, it's his fault Aria's dead. If it hadn't been for him having us watch over his already over protected children, Aria might still be alive but no he thought she could do something nobody can do alone. Kill the head of the Daku. It's not possible for just one person to kill him, heck not even 100 of the Guardians could! I shivered my last memory of her raced through my mind.
"ARIA!" I screamed grabbing and pulling her down.
But I was to late the sword went through her heart. I watched her crumple to the ground and the Daku leader laughed "That's what you get little guardian. How foolish of you to even think you could defeat me!"
"Shut up!" I screamed.
I formed a ball of lightning in my hands and threw it at him. He disappeared before it hit him, instead it hit the wall. I ran over to Aria, I hugged her, she had pulled out the sword and was now bleeding on the ground. I hovered my hands over her cut and started summoning energy, my body soon emitted a blue light.
"S...stop...Will...don't waste...your...energy." she gasped hitting my hands away.
I stopped glowing and I stared at her "I refuse to let you die!"
"I won't...die. I...will always...be...inside...your...heart." she whispered.
I shook my head stubbornly "But I want you here with me."
My tears fell on her wound, she smiled "I...am...with you...just...not in...body."
I hugged her even tighter and placed my cheek on her chest. I cried more than I had ever cried before, she stroked my hair telling me to calm down. In her last few seconds she whispered words that still haunt me, words I might not ever be able to say to someone else.
"I...love...you...and the...rest...of...our family...don't...ever...forget...that."
I felt her go limp, I shook my head and rest my cheek against her chest again hoping all this was a nightmare and soon I'd wake up and see her again. I stayed there like that for what seemed like forever, I didn't let go, Dante had to pry me away. The Dean yelled at me for leaving his children unattended, my anger for him started to go out of control that day. During the Hikari's lunch I ran, I didn't stop until I reached a bar. I waited outside for the first poor soul who decided to annoy me, luckily for me I didn't have to wait long. The Daku love to look for blood at bars. The Daku seemed surprised to see me but none the less he attacked, in under 30 seconds he was dead. My anger however wasn't,it would take a lot more than some Daku for my anger to go away. I looked around, I was running out of time so I couldn't find my next victim. Instead I ran again but this time to a abandoned part of town, I jumped onto the highest building there which was only about 3 stories high. I stood up and screamed, my pain for the loss of my sister numbed down and the anger for the Dean eased down enough that I could face him again without the urge to kill him on the spot. The only person who ever saw me cry was Aria, now she was dead. She would never know that it was me who took her purple scarf in grade 6, she wouldn't know that it was Dante broke into her room and took her ipod, she wouldn't know that Bridget was the one that killed her pet goldfish, but most importantly she wouldn't know how much we love her.
As my flashback ended. I felt tears in my eyes, I blinked them back remembering my promise. No one would ever see me cry.
