Memories...
It has been an hour since we witnessed our family's death. Ever since then, Zero would not let go of me. He was either holding my hand, hugging me, or holding on to me somehow. He was acting like if he let go, that he would never see me again. Well, I'm not complaining.
We were taken to this large assortment of buildings. It kinda looked like a school. A tall man with Blonde hair was escorting us to a large gate. As he opened it, I flinched a little, hearing the loud creak sound. When the man started to walk past the gate, I just stood there.
Zero noticed me and tugged on my arm a little, getting me to fall forward. I let out a small whimper as I landed on my hands and knees. I stood back up, then feeling a slight burn on my left hand. I turned my hand over and on the palm was a small tar burn, just enough to make it bleed. I walked towards Zero slowly, then quickening my pace later on.
"Gomen, Eve." Zero apologized tiredly. The man then turned around, looking down at us. Once he saw the blood dripping off of my palm, he quickly said "We must hurry." as he made us walk faster, almost at a running pace. We then reached the top of the stairs, now walking to a pair of doors at a separate building, a while away from the others.
Once we arrived at the building, the man opened the door having us stand in front of himself. We looked inside the house seeing a young girl about Zero's age standing there. "Yuki, these children's family were attacked by a bad vampire. Can you please get them washed up?" He asked in a ordered tone. "Mhm..." She mumbled while coming over to us.
I tightened my grip on Zero's hand as she got closer. "Um, will you come with me?" She asked us. Zero made no acknowledgment of her asking. She then turned around and walked towards a nearby room that I assumed to be the bathroom. As she walked off, Zero followed her, and I followed him.
Once we got in the bathroom, she had us sit on the edge of the bath tub. She was wetting a washcloth when I tugged on Zero's jacket. He looked at me and shook his head, which meant 'not now'. I then nodded, following his orders. Yuki then walked back over to us. "May I touch you?" she asked Zero while reaching to wipe some blood off of his face. He just sat there, letting her clean him. Though, for me it was different.
As soon as Yuki went to clean my face, Zero smacked her hand away from me before she even did anything. " I'll do it..." Zero stated silently, though it almost sounded like a threat. Yuki just nodded in agreement and walked past Zero, starting the water for the bath. "Just let me know when your done." She said walking to the door. "Oh! There are some clothes in the second draw on the left for when your done." And with that she left the bathroom, closing the door behind her. I looked at Zero confusingly. "Why did you hit her away Zero?" I asked curiously. Zero looked down at me. "I didn't want her to touch you..." He answered me silently. A gave out a little yawn and leaned my head against his shoulder. It's looks like were going to be here for a little while...
