Roselle is about to leave the infirmary after getting a refill of blood tablets from the nurse when the headmaster enters to check on Elaine who had been complaining of being extremely lightheaded still from losing so much blood a couple days ago . Unknown to both Roselle and Elaine he had heard their entire conversation a couple days ago due to the "incident." The headmaster makes a decision on what to do to make sure she doesn't spill Zero's secret.
"Why hello Roselle what are you doing here?".
"Hello headmaster I'm just getting a blood tablet refill what brings you here?".
"I heard that Elaine was in here again and I came in to check on her". Elaine who had just woken up from her nap feels that something is not right.
"What do you want with me".
"I would like you to report to my office immediately".
"That doesn't sound good he must of overheard me telling her that Zero is a level E vampire and that I am a pureblood. I hope he goes easy on her. Dia linn cabhrú le do thoil." Roselle thinks to herself.
Elaine walks into the office with the headmaster, and is confused on why Zero is there as well. "Uh can you please tell me why I'm here?"
"I overheard the conversation between you and Roselle a couple of days ago."
"Cacamas!"
They both look at her with strange looks but continued on. "Please hold out your hand." The head master puts on her wrist a special bracelet. "Now Kiryu I need you too slit your finger then place it over the symbol on Elaine's wrist." Zero reluctantly agrees, slits one of his fingers, and places it over the emblem on Elaine's wrist. "Then Elaine you place your wrist on Zero's tattoo." All of a sudden there is a burst of light and Zero is magically knocked onto the ground.
"Uh... Headmaster what just happened."
"That was an ancient technique once used by vampire hunters to tame vampires. Your bracelet and his tattoo create a bond which will stop Zero anytime it is used. I am also entrusting you with an anti-vampire gun."
Meanwhile the Night class students inside the moon dorm are about to go to sleep when Kaname calls Roselle to his room. He wants to talk to her about the incident with Zero and Elaine a couple of days ago.
"You wanted to talk to me Kaname?"
"Why yes come in Roselle." Their eyes lock for a brief moment. Roselle turns away blushing a deep red and the atmosphere become suddenly awkward. "I wanted to ask you why you were there the night Zero bit Elaine."
"W-Well I heard all the commotion outside so I went to see what was wrong and decided to follow Zero, and Yuki to see what was wrong."
"But why is it that you protected her and Zero?"
"Well I could see that he didn't have full control over himself, and he seemed sorry.'
"But why did you protect him?"
"I guess Yuki, and I Yuki thought that you were going to kill him so we both jumped in front of him to protect him".
"You do know that you could've gotten hurt too Roselle."
"Okay I may not look like it but I could have defended myself if it came to that. I am pretty strong and it's not just because I am a pureblood either".
"It's okay I was just being concerned… Oh, and congratulations."
"On what?"
"On nailing your talent show audition it was pretty impressive".
Roselle leaves now blushing a million shades of red since she is not used to getting these kinds of comments from a guy let alone one she had a crush on. "I hope he is not too mad at me for defending him. He didn't have control of himself." She thinks.
Aidou walks up to Roselle and asks her a very surprising question. "Hey Roselle-sama".
"Yeah Aidou?"
"Can you help me with the homework I don't quite understand it."
Everyone in the hallway stops as they are shocked that the self-proclaimed 'Miracle Genius' was asking for help with his homework.
"You mean the research paper on Celtic mythology?"
"Uh… yeah".
Sure I'll help you since I'm already done mine. I love Celtic mythology."
Back outside the day class students are making their way to class but as Elaine is about to enter the classroom Zero stops her. "What do you want Zero".
"I… uh… wanted to thank you for the help with the homework".
"No offense but since you've never lived in Ireland I doubt you know anything about its history let alone the mythology it holds. Elaine walks into the classroom blushing, but reminds herself that men are not worth the effort. She also can't help, but almost act like an idiot around him.
"What is wrong with me? Why it is when he looks at me heart skips a beat? Why do I blush every time he compliments me? Why do I feel this way? What is this feeling?".
It seems like our heroines are starting to fall in love but don't know it and why is it that Aidou asked for help on his homework? Stay tuned for chapter 6 of Love brings strength.
