AN: Okay, third chapter. I notice I tend to start these chapters on Mondays. I get writer's block when my brother's around, so this is a good time to type. He has boy scouts on Mondays so I'm home alone. Yay me! Flitting means when a vampire runs really fast that humans can't see them. Don't know if that's an actual term used by that's what I say. The nice thing about fiction is you just have to be plausible, you don't have to be right. And poor poor Zexion! I swear this wasn't planned when I wrote it! I hope the little bugger gets okay…
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. Am I gonna have to put this up in every chapter?
Chapter 3: My new, undead, life
(Demyx's POV)
The new guy, Zexion, was pretty open-minded about the whole 'vampire' thing. He acted like he did as a human. Which was way more mature than a regular sixteen year old. He got along with Roxas and Saix really well. I had a hard time getting along with Saix, me being to hyper and him being annoyed, so this was amazing from my point of view.
He was a quiet, secluded person who liked books. No, I didn't stalk him! I just… observed his actions and behavior a lot. He was cute… But there were times, where his eyes take on a slightly haunted look. Like he's terrified of something. Something from his past life. I can't help but feel helpless when he has those looks. Like all I can do is hold him and hope.
But I get off track. It's been about two weeks since Zexion was turned. He'd been able to keep going to school, but we managed to convince him to transfer schools, so that his family wouldn't wonder where he was. But from what Axel has been able to gather, (he's going to school with Zexion and Roxas since they claim to be bored) Zexion's only living relative is his father. From what I can tell, he and his dad don't get along. I think that's why he's so scared. His dad's done something to him, when he was human. He didn't have any real possessions to get from his house, except his laptop and an opal necklace. I think it belonged to his mother. I'm in college, so when I go off campus for lunch, I go and hang out with Zexion, Axel, and Roxas. Xemnas-san and Saix both have jobs. Yes, we can still eat human food. But at some point, the thirst is going to override that ability, making human food undesirable. Translation: Human food only puts the thirst off for a bit. Soon the thirst becomes too strong and we can't stomach human food until we have blood.
So, anyways, I was walking down the hall, to Zexion's room. Like I said earlier, it'd been two weeks. With Zexion being a fledgling, he'd be hungry about now. Axel and I were supposed to take him hunting. Stopping outside Zexion's door, I knocked. I knew he's been in his room all day. Silence was my answer. Usually, he answered the door regardless of what he was doing. Axel then came strolling down the hall. "What's up, Demyx?" he asked. "Zexion hasn't answered the door." I told him. He shot me a confused look. I twisted the knob on his door, and the door opened with no restraints. Axel and I both stepped into the room.
It looked like a hurricane had gone through. Papers and books were strewn across the floor, as was clothing and his school supplies. There were gashes all over his bed and walls. The window was busted, like somebody had broken in. Blood was on the bed and by the window. Whoever broke in didn't take Zexion without a fight. "Zexion!" I called out. There was a small sound from the other side of the bed. Axel was there, in a flash. "Demyx, he's over here. Go get Xemnas." My heart was beating hard. The panic in Axel's voice scared me. As I left the room, I caught a glimpse of Zexion.
He had gashes all over his body. Blood soaked his clothes and his hair was messier than normal. His nails had turned to claws, and one could see a bruise forming on the side of his face. His injuries didn't scare me. They could easily be healed. It was his mind I was worried about. For a sixteen year old, Zexion always acted older and despised being called or treated as a kid. And here he was, on the floor, curled up by his bed in a fetal position, his eyes wide with blood red tears falling down his cheeks. He looked like a terrified little kid. Turning, I left the room, flitting to Xemnas's office.

(Xemnas's POV)
Sighing, I stepped out of Zexion's new room, silently closing the door behind me. Axel, Demyx, and Roxas looked up from their seats along the hallway.
"How is he?" Roxas asked. With another sigh, I told him. "His mental condition hasn't changed. He won't eat or move. He just stares at anybody who goes into the room. I don't know what attacked him, but it traumatized him badly. His body's beginning to react from the lack of blood but he's refusing to do anything about it. He might…."
"He might what?" Demyx asked, fear in his eyes. "He might go berserk or die. He's still a fledgling and we have no idea how long he can go like this." I answered. We all sat in a heavy silence for a few minutes, though it felt like hours. Finally, Demyx stood up.
"Can I see him?" he asked. I nodded. The blond went into the room, closing the door behind him.
(Demyx's POV)
Slipping into the room, I immediately spotted Zexion, curled up in the corner. Apparently he had been staring out the window, but when I came into the room, his eyes jumped to me. I could see, even from this distance that they were started to show his bloodlust. The outer rim of the one blue eye I could see was a dark red. "Zexion…" I whispered. He just continued to stare at me. Carefully, I crossed the room over to him, crouching down so I was at his level. "Zexy…" I murmured. He blinked. Reaching out to touch his cheek, I pretty sure he leaned into the touch. "Zexy, you have to snap out of it. You're safe. Nothing can hurt you. Please, come back Zexion." I told him. I couldn't look him in the eyes, seeing as tears started to blur my own.
(Zexion's POV)
'Come back…'
'Please…'
'…Zexion…'
No more. My eyes… They slid shut of their own accord. That voice… It was so comforting. It was familiar as well. But I didn't want to think about that right now. Everything began to relax. I think I'm falling forward, but…
Such a pleasant sound.

I felt something fall onto me. Blinking, I moved my head back up and saw that Zexion had fallen on me. His head was resting right above my heart and his eyes were closed for once. I shifted enough so I was sitting cross-legged on the floor and he curled up in my lap. For once, the aura he gave off was relaxed, not alert or scared. "Zexion…" I whispered.
AN: Poor Zexion!! What attacked him? And don't ask me cause I don't know either, despite me being the one writing all this.
little-happy-dance-of-doom-Yeah this is my first fanfiction. And I wasn't thinking about Twilight when I wrote this. I just wanted to write a story with vampires.
Roxas-Has-A-Stick-Yeah, Xigbar is the kewlest vampire hunter! But I don't know when I'm gonna make him appear again. Your ideas are so helpful!
WisdomSora11-Thanks! You kept saying yay so I know I'm doing a good job!
