Crimson Night Chapter 6
Welcome to the Clan Part 2
'T-This man… He looks like…me.' I think shakily in my head.
The man opens his cerulean blue eyes that seem to glow in the dark, and his eyes grow wide as his pupils shrink. He shakes his head and looks up at me with a small grin that creeps onto his face. The man stands up slowly and bends backward a little to stretch out his back after from sitting so long. He lets out a light chuckle and I can see his breath vapor out of his mouth. I realize that this room is actually quite cold. I must have not really noticed because I was used to such cold.
"Leave, Arthur… I want to talk to him alone," Alfred snarls, while Arthur glares at him.
"Why should I let a mutt like you talk to him alone," Arthur growls back and steps next to me, putting his arm in front of me protectively. "How do I know you won't take him for yourself?"
"You know I live by the code blood-sucking limey, so why would I?" Alfred scoffs while giggling.
Arthur growls but lowers his arm slowly. "Fine, but if I find but a scratch on him I'll skin you alive."
"Heh, that better than what you did to Francis last girlfriend. I mean you fucking burned her alive!" Alfred says as he throws his hands in the air.
"That's because she was a vampire hunter and you know she was out to kill me! Damn girl…Joan of Arc… You know her spirit still haunts me, but back to the point, you have exactly FIVE minutes," Arthur huffs and starts to walk out of the stone cold room.
The door creaks shut and I turn to look at Alfred. His eyes gleamed with malice as he stepped closer. I begin to back away but in a blink of an eye Alfred is holding me in a tight grip. When he smirks horridly leaning forward. I shut my eyes in fear.
When I expect the end, I feel quick breaths on my head. I open my eyes to see Alfred just… sniffing me? I look at him with a questioning look as he finishes and slides his tongue against my cheek slowly.
"Hello! I'm Alfred!" Alfred cheers happily and squishes his face with my own.
"I-I'm Matthew… nice to meet you," I try to say as Alfred squeezes me into a really tight hug.
"Matthew… I like it! I'll call you Mattie ok?" Alfred yells in joy and lets go to walk around and examine me. "Ok from this day forward you are my master, Mattie! Congrats!" Alfred cheers and rubs me as if a cat.
"W-what?" I ask confused.
"You are my master. What's there not to get?"
"Everything! How am I your master? We just met!" I yell and wave my hands around like some character from an anime.
"Oh so Arthur hasn't told you? I'm a werewolf, and us werewolves we… umm…" Alfred plops onto the ground sitting criss-cross and puts a finger on his lips as if think of a word, "'pick' a master and serve them till we parish or the master parishes. It's very special because it only happens once in a werewolf's life, so we only have one, and only one, master and it comes to us in a vision when we find the right person."
I look at him confused, not really getting a word he said.
"Just look at it this way. I'm stuck with you for the rest of my life," Alfred says and smiles.
"Oh… well stand up?" I say confused and almost had a heart attack how fast Alfred got up and licked my cheek again. "So you're a werewolf?"
"Yep," he says happily and closes his eyes and then barks. I gasp as dog-ears pop out from the top of head and a tail sprouts from his lower back and his canine teeth grow to fangs, like Arthur's.
"Amazing…" I whisper and move closer and reach up to feel Alfred's soft-looking ears, but I trip on his chain and fall to the ground. In a split second Alfred catches me but it was useless because he just falls on top of me, straddling me if anything. We stare at each other for a second and I could have swore that I saw Alfred's face get closer, but it flinches back as Arthur opens the door.
"What the fucking bloody hell are you doing to him!" Arthur screeches in hatred and bolts at Alfred, knocking him off of me and pins him down, bearing fangs, "I told you not to touch him!" and Arthur punches Alfred in the face. Alfred barks in pain but doesn't do anything to defend himself as blood spurts out of his nose.
"Stop!" I yell and grab Arthur into an embrace, "He didn't do anything! I tripped and he went to catch me but fell with me."
Arthur stares at me with a concern look but it softens and he embraces me back and helps me up. Once I was up, I help Alfred up.
"Come. There are still have one more member I have to introduce you to," Arthur says and glares at Alfred.
"Oh ok… What about Alfred?" I ask and turn to him. He's sitting on a very small, uncomfortable looking mattress wiping his bloody nose with his arm—getting blood everywhere.
"He can stay in here for now. It'll help him think about what he has done," Arthur says as he turns to the door.
I look at Alfred and frown. I walk over to him quickly and grab the handkerchief out of my pocket and give it to Alfred. He looks at it confused at first but then accepts it and wipes his nose with a soft grin on his face.
"Coming?" Arthur asks as he open's the door and light floods into the room.
"Yes," I have one last glance at Alfred—who waves for me to go—and hurry to walk behind Arthur.
…
Now where in the main lobby again with Ludwig racing around with various ingredients, probably making dinner.
"By the way, Arthur, what is Ludwig's ability?" I ask quietly as we ascend the stares.
"Hmm? Oh Ludwig's ability, yes, he has great strength and the ability to erase memories, just incase we needed to erase a mortal's memory if we where ever discovered," Arthur sighs and looks at Ludwig as we go higher, "We've only needed it once…"
"Oh…" I shiver hoping I'm not the second.
We reach the top of the castle and we are greeted with five new doors. Arthur walks to the one not quite in the middle but one over to the left. He knocks a few times then walks in. I walk in quietly behind him and look around the new room I have entered.
The room is filled to the brim with books and other things for studying. Every so often I'll see a glass full of weird unidentified liquid and some with… things in them?
"Oi, Kiku! You in here! We have a guest," Arthur shouts into the room.
"Over here, Arthur-sama," a small voice calls farther in the room. We walk over stacked books and around a bookcase to find a small man with short black hair reading a rather large textbook. He looks up, grins, and closes the book. He stands up and walks around more of his books and holds out his hand. I grab his hand and shake lightly.
"Herro, my name is Kiku," the small man says and smiles.
"Hello I'm-"
"Matthew. I'm I right? Matthew Williams."
"Uhh… Ya… I am," I stutter out and think 'how the hell does this man know my name?'
"How I know is because I can read people's minds. That's my ability besides vast knowledge," Kiku says and smiles as he explains.
"Wow, that's amazing," I say as I imagine how reading minds would feel.
"Kiku, do you have any books on exorcism?" Arthur asks coolly and looks around.
"I knew you wourd ask so I took the riberity to gather them," Kiku says as he picks up a pile of books with stars on the cover like the one on my hand.
"Thank you, Kiku," Arthur says and smiles, "Now, Matthew, take the books from Kiku. There yours for now."
"Oh, ok," I say uncertain and take the books from Kiku. "Thank you."
"Your wercome. I'm armost arways in here so if you want to read any of the books here, be our guest, and if you have a question I'm the to tark to, I'rr be grad to answer," Kiku says and bows politely.
"Thank you," I say and bow back.
"Now it's time for me to show you to your room," Arthur says and starts to maneuver through the stacks of books.
I gasp and race after him—while looking back at Kiku and waving, earning a wave back.
…
Now where back in the opening we where in before we went into Kiku's room. Arthur walks to the door in the middle of the five doors and walks in. I follow suit and enter the rather large room. A vast canapé bed lies in the center of the room with dressers covered with sheets lining the room and a large vanity behind the bed. In one corner I see a large black furnished coffin with red velvet interior and a small black rabbit in it. The black rabbit opens its blood red eyes and stretches out like a cat. The little monster yawns, unfolds its scaly black wings, and begins to fly over to Arthur.
"Good night, Bloody Grim Bat," Arthur chuckles as he extends his finger. The little monster lands on his finger and starts to talk in Vulgarnesta. "Is that so? I'll have to beat Francis for that." The rabbit called Bloody Grim bat starts to laugh and looks over at me.
"Gpt'f epje?" Bloody Grim Bat says and turns his head to the side. Then his hairs on his back prick up and the little black bunny growls, "Nf pk jr nreiwvki?"
"Rt. Pk nf j qinkrv." Arthur says as he smoothes the prickled hair done.
"Fine… but I'm keeping my eyes on him," Bloody Grim Bat growls and flies away and perches himself on the bed.
"What is that thing?" I ask as I cast a glance at the little beast.
"I'm not a thing! My name is Bloody Grim Bat!"
"He's my pet demon bat. He is quite loyal he just hasn't gotten to know you is all," Arthur says as he shrugs, "He still attacks Alfred, but he sometimes deserves it."
"Oh ok… So 'Bloody Grim Bat sleeps in here?" I ask and look around the vast room.
"Well he does but this is also my room. I sleep in that coffin over there so your welcome to use the bed," Arthur sighs as Bloody Grim Bat flies onto his head. I giggle softly.
"What have I told you about being on my head?" Arthur asks and raises one of his bushy eyebrows.
Bloody Grim Bat rolls his red eyes and sighs, "Not to because I'm heavy."
"Right now get off," Arthur sighs in annoyance and pushes BGB off of his head, "Go see what Gilbert is doing. He's probably slacking off with his 'DS' Kiku gave him or with Gilbird."
"Fine…" BGB says and flies out of the room and the door shuts.
Arthur turns to me and smirks. He walks up to me slowly and creases my cheek. "Matthew…," Arthur coos softly.
"W-what?" I ask blushing madly by Arthur's touch and soft gaze.
"Oh, nothing. You had a little dirt on your cheek from when we landed and it's been bugging me," Arthur chuckles as he wipes my cheek.
"Really? Oh god how embarrassing! And when I was meeting your clan to!" I gasp and my blush reddens.
"You're so amusing, Matthew, you know that?" Arthur snickers, hand still resting on my cheek. I laugh with him—trying to figure out what so funny. Suddenly Arthur's gaze becomes hard and me pushes he down. I look up at him with fear as his eyes glow with a tint of red in them. He smirks and starts to laugh insanely as he walks closer. I scoot back till my back reaches the soft feeling of a sheet that covers a dresser.
"There's nowhere to run now, Matthew," Arthur whispers as he straddles me, pinning my hands to the ground.
"W-why are you doing this?" I asks, voice shaking.
Suddenly Arthur's eyes dilate, then soften and he shakes his head. He looks at me in horror and leaps off of me. "Oh dear fucking God! I'm sorry Matthew!"
"What was that for?" I as I get up and walk toward Arthur—who steps away.
"W-when we vampires get… 'hungry' we go on blood lust… I'm so sorry, Matthew, I should have told you," Arthur says as his voice shakes and he gulps.
"If you're hungry… you can have some of my blood," I say and walk closer to Arthur.
"What? You would that for me?" he asks as he steps closer slowly.
I nod, "Ya you saved me from those vampires and you're letting me stay here so I owe you," I whisper as I shrug.
"Well if that's the case…" Arthur says and smirks. He picks me up suddenly and I gasp sharply. He throws me on the big bed and gets on top of me, smirking while I blush like crazy. He leans in and begins to lick my neck slowly up and down. I moan at the feeling as I hear him snickering. He pulls away and smiles—showing off his enlarged fangs. He leans in and kisses me tenderly. I tense up at first, but then process what's happening and lean back into the kiss. Arthur bites at my lower lip and I open slowly, allowing him to enter. His tongue rushes in and our tongues meet—swirling and dancing together.
Arthur pulls away and mores to my neck once more. "Ready?"
"Y-yes…" I whisper and gasp as his fangs sink into my artery. I feel his hot breath tickle my skin as his fangs sink in deeper. I feel light headed as my blood is being drained from me.
"A-Arthur… I'm feeling light headed," I whisper out grabbing Arthur's vest and holding it tight.
Arthur grabs hold of my hair and waist and digs deeper into my neck. I gasp loudly as tears pour from my eyes uncontrollably. My vision blurs slightly as more and more blood escapes from my body and feeds Arthur's endless hunger. The world spins and my grip on Arthur loosens. Finally I give in to the darkness and I close my eyes—passing out.
What's happening? A moment ago Arthur was feeding…
What did you do to him!
I-I'm Sorry!
Matthew!
