A/N Ok yet another chapter of Crimson Night! Hope you enjoy~

Chapter 9

Death Promise

I stare blankly at the fire Gilbert and I made at the mouth of the cave—thinking about Arthur said to me.

"I think I love Matthew," Arthur said simply, sighing softly.

I stared at him blankly then snarled deeply, "Your not good enough for him! You almost killed him and you're a monster!" I scream at him in anger. 'I love him not you. I've been waiting my whole life for that one special person and I imprinted on him. I am not going to let that bloodsucker take him' I think oh so bitterly to myself. "You can't even protect yourself let alone him! You are no good for my master-"

"Who are you to judge if I'm good enough for him?" Arthur screams and slaps me across the face, causing me to stagger.

I glare at him darkly and scoff making my way to the door that leads to the mouth of the cave, "The one time you screw up with him is the one time I'll rip out your guts and feed it to the wolves because he's mine and I will die before he belongs to you."

"I can arrange that," is all I heard before I slam the door and run pass Francis, who follows after me slowly, sighing.

Now it's Francis, Gilbert, Gilbird, and I surrounding the fire.

"Alfred," Gilbert says nudging my arm, causing me to snap out of my daydreaming. I shake my head and look at him confused. "You're going to go blind if you stare at the fire to long," Gilbert chuckles his signature scratchy laugh that annoys the hell out of everyone except me.

"Well at least my eyesight is better than yours, blind bastard," I snarl at Gilbert. Gilbert is actually blind but no one brings it up because he gets really pissed when you do. Last time Francis did, Gilbert beat the shit out of him. He became blind because he fell in love with a Night Child vampire named Elizaveta. They secretly met each other even though Elizaveta was betrothed to a vampire named Roderich by her father. After meeting for a year, Elizaveta got pregnant by Gilbert. They were both very happy till the baby was born. The baby had silver hair like Gilbert. Roderich grieved at the sight, but forgave Elizaveta, but Ivan heard about this. He took the baby and slaughtered it along with Elizaveta for falling in love with a Red Lion. Gilbert went to see her but Ivan was there in her place. They fought for a long time but in the end Ivan used a special poisonous power that got in his eyes and made his escape. Gilbert was blind ever since.

"You take that fucking back," Gilbert growls and turns his head towards me, eyes glaring and eyes glowing red in malice.

"You better take it back, Alfred," Francis whispers to me.

I glare at Gilbert, whose eyes still glare with blood colored hatred. "Fine, I take it back," I say as I roll my eyes and the blind vampire.

"Good," Gilbert huffs and pets the little demon chick on his head. "Why are you so pissed anyways?"

I sigh deeply and look at my best friend. "I imprinted on Mattie."

"Isn't that good?" Francis questions and spits in the fire to make it flare up from its shallow form.

"Ya, but…" I choke on my words, "Arthur just told me—out of the blue—he fell for him."

"The bastard," Gilbert huffs and leans back and puts his hands behind his head, falling on his back.

"So it is a 'love rivalry' no? Fight for your love, Alfred. Make Matthew choose you, show him he would rather be with you than him," Francis sternly says as the fire in front of him turn blue with his sudden mood change, flickering and dancing as if in rage with him.

I look at him in shock but turn my head away quickly. "You make it sound easy… I can see it in Mattie's eyes every time he looked at the limey… he fell for his charm, deeper and deeper into the pit that is Arthur's void he calls his 'heart'."

"That pretty deep, bro," Gilbert sighs as he stares at the roof of the ceiling that he will never actually see for himself, "almost to deep for you, are you ok?"

I glare at him, but sigh, "No… I just…" I stop and look back at the fire, "Can't see—no I don't want to see Mattie get hurt because I couldn't protect him from Arthur or anything else."

"Then go to him."

"What?" I ask Francis who looks at me with a wet tear trailing down from his cheek.

"Go to him… We know how it feels to lose the one you love most in the world… so we, as your friend, don't want you too mourn like us… to endure our burden at your young age," Francis chokes out as he wipes the tear away. I look over at Gilbert to see a slim tear sneak out of his blind eyes and he mouths 'Elizaveta'.

I stand and smile at the two before being motion to go to him by Francis. I race to the end of the cave and bolt through the door. After shrugging off the stern yelling of Ludwig about not running through the main hall for the umpteenth time I race up the stairs almost knocking Kiku down.

"Sorry, Kiku!" I yell at Kiku who smiles politely and keeps going down the stairs. 'He must have read my thoughts,' I think happily to myself.

Soon I'm at the top of the some-what long staircase and open Arthur's room door slowly—knowing that Matt is probably still in the deep sleep Kiku calls the 'Exorcist Trials' or something. I look in and gasp at the horrid sight.

Arthur and Matthew… they're in bed… clinging to each other underneath the silky white sheets. I could tell if they where still in there clothes or not but all my brain says to me is, 'Oh my fucking God… Arthur fucked… my master…'

I snarl and my hand grips tightly to the wooden door, making it crack and brake under my hand. My breath hitches and I release the breaking door and let my hand slowly slide down the smooth wood, falling limply to my side. I stagger back until my back hits the stone wall behind me and my legs limply fail under me—causing me to slide my back down the wall and plop onto the ground. I stare blankly at the cursed door and let one tear spill out but claw it away, cutting my cheek on my nails, making blood spill down my cheek instead of the tear. I place my hand on the wound and pull my hand away. My hand is stained in the crimson of the blood. I snarl and coldly glare at the door that seals my master and the bastard in that retched room.

"Arthur… This blood on my hand… will on day be yours. He is mine and I will be the one who kills you."

A/N: Ok here you go after waiting so so so so long~ Sorry if its somewhat of a filler but it will have significance towards the end! This is just Alfred's POV and hopefully the next chapter I will be able to get back to Matthew TvT. Also I should note the fact that A.) I was listening to Servant of Evil while writing this so you should expect as much and B.) Those who didn't know, I have a poll on my account for Arthur's power! I need to know what it will be T^T cause I don't know what it should be… only two people voted so far… Thank you two voters! I wove you! I also have another poll for which team your on~ Team Alfred or Team Arthur XD. Well till next update (hopefully soon),

READ ON!
