k-shee: I love that power. It's not his fault he's got issues. I blame those around him. He just wants to be loved. It's not his fault.
Melissa Brandybuck: Lol, I'm glad you love this fic. I can't update that fast. I'm sorry.
Yunshi Himura: You'll just have to wait and see. I'm not even sure what I'm going to do yet. Even if I did, I am just going to torture you all and make you wait till I update. Lol. I can tell you almost every character is going to suffer, some more than others.
Yuuram88: Being a dense idiot is what makes Yuuri... Yuuri. His 'kind' and 'caring' part of him will make him try to get Wolfram back and have him all happy and that crap. Wolfram is sort of in Limbo. He's in between life and death. I'm not really sure exactly where he is myself. Lol XD. I'll just leave that up to you people to decide where he is exactly.
Reviewers: Thanks for the reviews. It made me happy to read them. And thanks for being patient with me. I will probably update on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. That's when I have the most time on the computer and that means I have more time to write. It doesn't take me that long to write a chapter, I just need the idea to come to me. Well, thank you everyone that put this story on his or her alert list and/or on his or her favorites. It seems that most of you like this fanfic better than my first one. Lol well thanks again. I will try to update quicker. But, I have to concentrate on school as well. Junior year is such a pain. My mom wants me to great A's and B's this year. Stuff about college and all that crap. I don't want to think about it. It just means I'm going to be entering the "real" world soon. I want to be a kid forever!! –Throws tantrum- well, anyways here is chapter 4. Enjoy.
Chapter 4:
Wolfram's POV:
I'm walking down the halls of Blood Pledge Castle. Everyone I pass seems to walk by me without any acknowledgement. They act as if they don't see me. I go to one of the soldiers to reprimand him for ignoring me but it doesn't seem he hears me. He starts to walk away. I try to grab his arm but I phase through it. I stare at my hand. So, they really can't see or hear me. That's when I start to think that this place isn't the real castle.
I wander around the palace. There's nothing much to do, I'm not even sure why I'm even here. I feel at home here. It's no different. The people here act the same as the ones back at the real castle. They all ignore me. Well, the servants back at home just acknowledge my presence because they had to. But, if I wasn't royalty they'd just walk right pass me like I don't exist.
After a while of walking aimlessly, I begin to wonder if I can phase through walls and doors since I was able to phase through that soldier. I reach out for the wall and press my hand against it. Next thing I know half my arm is out of sight. Normally I would find this cool. But, oddly I don't. I feel empty. I have that feeling you get when you're just tired of everything and just don't care about what's going on around you. This must be what zombies feel like.
I make my way towards my room, well Yuuri's room. I don't bother reaching for the doorknob. I just walk through the door. Once I was completely in the room and the sight before me registered into my mind, I wished that I hadn't come here. Right there before my eyes was a nude Conrart pinning down an equally nude Yuuri to the bed. They were kissing very passionately. I wanted to die even more than ever once I saw that sight. Yuuri moaned into the kiss.
I shut my eyes and cover my ears and run the other direction. I just keep running not caring where I'm going. I'm not sure if what I saw was real or not. The memories of being stabbed by the bandit rushed through my mind. Maybe I'm dead. Maybe what I saw was real. Conrart and Yuuri can finally be together. They can finally love each other. Yuuri isn't stuck in that farce of an engagement with me. Yuuri's not tied down to me anymore.
I stop running; I'm in the gardens. This was my safe haven when I was alive and not sleeping. I look at the flowers before me. There's something different about it. That's when I realize what was different. There were no more Beautiful Wolframs. Tears stream down my face. So, they really don't care. I mentally slapped myself. No, if I did die then wouldn't they be mourning my death. This could just be a horrible nightmare. Maybe this is what it would be like if I never got engaged to Yuuri. But, that wouldn't explain the garden lacking in Beautiful Wolframs. Maybe, this is what would happen if I never existed. Yeah, maybe that's it. This is probably what life in the castle would be like if I never was born. Everybody seems to be happy, there is no more spoiled, selfish prince throwing tantrums. It's rather peaceful, Conrart and Yuuri seems happy as well.
Wait, something's not right. Even if I were never born, Yuuri still would be against the idea of him being with another guy. I mean he would still be raised the same way. Maybe Yuuri only said that being with another guy was wrong because he didn't want to be with me. Maybe he used that as an excuse in hopes of having the engagement broken off.
My breathing starts to get heavy as each of these thoughts run through my mind. My vision gets blurry from the tears. I start pacing the garden everything seems to be spinning. With every step I took my surroundings started to spin faster and faster. Then everything went blank.
I sat up quickly. It was only a nightmare. I look around everything was pitch black. I was in the same place as I was before I fell asleep. I wipe the sweat that started to accumulate on my forehead. My heart is racing. I take deep breaths to calm myself down. It was just a nightmare. It wasn't real. I keep repeating that to myself over and over again. After a while, I calm down.
I get up from the floor. My back hurts from sleeping on the concrete ground. I stretch. I'm not as scared as I was before. I might as well get use to this place. I might be here for a while or forever. Maybe I can find something to do around here. I doubt it. There is nothing but darkness around me.
After a while of wandering in the darkness, I sit back down on the floor. The whole time I was walking I couldn't get that image of Conrart and Yuuri out of my head. I couldn't shake the feeling that what I saw might be real. I didn't want to believe that my brother and fiancé were secretly in love with each other but couldn't be with one another because of Yuuri's engagement to me.
I cross my legs. Maybe I should meditate. It'll help me get my thoughts together and help me think clearly. It'll at least help pass the time.
Normal POV:
Wolfram had been in a coma for 4 days now. Everyone was getting really antsy. The blonde prince didn't seem to show any signs that he would be waking up anytime soon. Mazokus never stayed in a coma for more than 5 days. Some people were starting to doubt the blonde mazoku would ever wake up. Gisela and Gunter went through all the medical books to see if there was a way to help Wolfram wake up.
Gwendal had more wrinkles on his forehead than he ever had before. He was growing more worried by the second. Every second that his baby brother was in a coma, the chance of him ever waking up were getting smaller. He didn't know how he would handle it if he lost the fiery blonde. Life just wouldn't be the same.
Yuuri was in his office signing papers. He was extremely bored. For the past four days, he had been bored to death. There was no excuse to escape the paperwork piling up on his desk. Gunter wouldn't let him leave to see Wolfram because the last time he said he was going to visit Wolfram he found him playing catch with one of the soldiers. Conrad was too busy to bail the young demon king out. Well, more like too distracted. Conrad was like a zombie. The brown-haired soldier was either attending to his duties or by Wolfram's side. He showed no emotions. The smile that was always on his face wasn't there anymore. He spaced out a lot and would always excuse himself and say he had duties to tend to.
The double black put down his pen. His hand was starting to hurt from signing papers. He felt like he was being neglected. Everyone was either too busy with their duties or tending to Wolfram. They didn't have time for their king. He didn't like that much attention but he still wanted someone to hang out with him for a little bit and play catch. The one person he enjoyed spending time with was too busy. Usually the brown-haired man wouldn't mind putting off his duties to play catch with him. Yuuri got the feeling that Conrad was sort of avoiding him. He brushed that feeling aside. There was no way that Conrad would avoid him. I mean he was his godson and king. He was just probably really worried about his baby brother that's all.
Wolfram's POV:
I lay on my back and stared at the darkness above me. How long was I going to be here? Did I want to leave? After a while, you get use to this place. It's not so bad. Being alone isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. I don't have to worry about disappointing anybody or hurting anyone. There is no need to desire to be loved or wanted.
I close my eyes. It's quiet but not that eerie kind of silence. It's a nice tranquil kind of silence. I like it. Meditating did seem to help. I could think clearly and see the positive things about this place. It's not as scary as I thought. I smile. This might not be that bad after all. Sure its dark but you get use to it. It's weird; usually I would be bored out of my mind. But, for some reason I'm not. Thinking seems to pass the time and occupy me.
After five minutes of laying in tranquility, I open my eyes. The darkness seems to be dimming. The concrete floor I was laying on was now a field of green grass with few flowers here and there. I look up; I could make out stars and the moon. I look around in confusion. What was going on? I hear running water; I turn to the direction the sound was coming from. I looked in awe as I saw the most beautiful waterfall I have ever seen. This place really wasn't that bad after all. But, I wonder why the surroundings changed so suddenly. I shrugged it off and admired the new environment. I lie down and stare at the stars above me. A smile appears on my face as I closed my eyes to rest.

Wow, I'm amazed at myself. I didn't think I would've written this chapter so quickly. I couldn't concentrate on my homework so I decided to work on this. I also needed to do something to take my mind off things and calm me down. (I'm currently envying Wolfram for having such a nice tranquil place to relax in) Having issues with my 'dad'. But, don't worry that will not effect my writing or me updating. Well, please review.
