Another chapter is ready. I really enjoy writing this story but my computer i s having some trouble turning on sometimes and it can take time before it turns on again. But the reviews always make me want to update faster. But I will update my other stories next so it MIGHT take a while to update the next chapter. But maybe I will post sooner. I don't know for sure yet. But here you have the next chapter and I hope that you like it
Chapter 4
One day...
Only one day has passed since Zero agreed to stay prisoner in Kaname's castle. One day since he last saw his dad. One day since he was almost raped. It all happened so fast that it seemed impossible. But it wasn't. Zero's freedom no longer existed.
No one knows what they are capable of doing to save a loved one. Zero could give up his life if it meant that he could keep his dad safe. He knew that his dad also wanted Zero's safety but let's face it, the man is old.
Zero was now locked in a room. It was rather elegant, painted in a very beautiful shade of blue. Paintings could be found in every wall and most of them were from a crimson rose. An elegant wardrobe stood besides the bed. Zero could've sworn that the wardrobe was looking at him. But it was probably his imagination. At least the bed was comfortable.
'I hate this place' Zero thought to himself as his eyes studied the area a little more. But his thought were interrupted by a knock on the door.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Zero stayed silent, not even bothering who was outside.
"Open the damn door!" Kaname yelled from the other side.
'Just what I needed' Zero thought.
He slowly stood up and began walking towards the door but he did not opened it.
"Leave me alone!" Zero shot back. He could hear Kaname growling from outside.
"You leave at my house! That means you follow MY rules!" Kaname kept yelling.
"Last time I checked I did NOT want to be in this place!" Zero replied.
"Just come to dinner at five!" and with that Kaname left.
Silence took over the room once again. He was not going to that dinner. He wasn't even hungry. All his appetite was lost when he was forced to stay in that castle forever. But he was happy to know that his dad was safe. And at least there was no Rido in there. He couldn't stand one more day with Rido. Zero was surprised that he is still sane after everything that has happened.
"What are you thinking about?" a female voice said. Zero tried figuring out where the voice came from but there was nobody else in the room.
"I take what I thought about me being sane. I'm hearing voices now" Zero muttered to himself.
"I wouldn't say you were insane" the same voice said.
"Is anyone there?" Zero asked.
"Look behind you, boy" the mystery voice said.
Zero turned around to see the wardrobe staring at him.
"Does everything in this castle is alive?" Zero asked mostly to himself.
"I wouldn't say everything. Some of the things are just normal objects. The rest of us are alive" the wardrobe told Zero.
Zero nodded and stayed silent. However, the wardrobe began looking inside itself, or herself, looking for some clothes. Since there was nothing better to do Zero watched everything that the wardrobe made. The wardrobe took out a pair of silver pans with a black shirt and a button up silver jacket.
"Here you go" Shizuka handed the clothing to Zero.
"Why do I even need this?" Zero asked Shizuka as he held the mostly silver clothing.
Shizuka raised an eyebrow. "Didn't Kaname invited you to a dinner tonight?" she asked Zero.
"Yes" Zero told Shizuka.
"Then why do you even ask? You can't possibly go to the dinner room wearing that" Shizuka glance at Zero's clothing. Is shirt had a black stain at the bottom and his pants had tiny holes in the zipper area.
"I won't go" Zero firmly stated.
"I'm afraid you can't decide that. What Kaname says is what goes" Shizuka explained.
Zero took a few steps towards Shizuka until they were face-to-face.
"Look 'lady', there is no way in hell that I will be going to dinner with a 'guy' I barely know that won't allow me to get out of this place. So you can tell Kaname to leave me alone" Zero spat at Shizuka.
"Don't make things harder" Shizuka begged. Kaname would be mad if Zero doesn't attend to the dinner. And a mad Kaname is definitely not pretty.
"No" Zero said one last time and sank into his bed in one attempt to fall asleep.
An hour passed and Zero managed to fall asleep trough Shizuka's constant complaining. She was nervous about what is she going to tell Kaname. She did not want to be yelled at. Zero was stubborn as hell. Shizuka knew that Zero was really going to get on Kaname's nerves. She just don't want it to start so early. But what was she suppose to do? She already did all she could and the results were a sleeping Zero.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Who is it?" Shizuka asked to whoever was at the other side of the door.
"Haruka. I'm here to escort Zero to the dining room" she heard Haruka say.
Shizuka bit her lip.
"He is not going to dinner" it was just a whisper but loud enough for Haruka to hear.
"I beg your pardon?"
"He will not have dinner with Kaname. I tried convincing him but the boy is stubborn" Shizuka explained.
"Kaname is not going to like the news" Haruka said mostly to himself.
"Good luck" Shizuka said before returning to her previous spot and drifting into sleep just like Zero.
Haruka gulped before slowly walking downstairs to where his son was currently waiting.
Kaname was walking around the entire room. Zero was suppose to be there fifteen minutes ago. The cook made one of his best meals. He wanted it to be special since they have not had any guests in years.
In the large table there was a big cake at the middle. Around it there was some stake along with some wine. Fancy dining plates were on two of the sides of the table and a fork and knife were besides it. Some candles could be found to light up the area and the sweet scent of rose petals could be smelled around the area.
"Kaname, could you stop moving for a second and relax" Juri told her son.
Kaname stopped for a moment to look at her mom. "Where is he? He was suppose to be here a while ago" Kaname glanced at the clock.
"Maybe he is just late. Give him some time" Juri smiled at Kaname.
"I'll give him five minutes. Nothing more, nothing less"
"That's all I ask now" Juri walked, or rather jumped, over to Kaname "How about some tips to help you with Zero?"
Kaname nodded.
"Stand correctly. A good posture is important" Kaname did what he was told.
"Show him your smile" Cross suddenly appeared " It will show him your charms"
"Keep eye contact or he will feel completely ignored" Juri kept saying.
"And the most important thing you must do is" Cross made a slight pause "always control your temper"
"Anything more you want to add?" Kaname looked at both Juri and Cross as they both shook their heads.
The door slowly began to open. Kaname quickly looked at that direction and was disappointed as he saw his father entering the room. There was no Zero.
Haruka nervously looked at Kaname.
"Where is Zero?" Kaname asked.
"He is not going to come" Haruka muttered.
Kaname stayed silent for a moment before his brown eyes turned into a deep crimson red and held nothing but pure anger.
"Kaname. Control your anger" Juri reminded Kaname of the previous conversation.
Juri was ignored. Kaname angrily made his way over Zero's room.
"ZERO. COME OUT IN THIS INSTANT!" Kaname yelled loud enough to wake Zero up.
"What the..."Zero said before staring at the door. "Ugh..." he groaned. He didn't feel like fighting with someone right now. He just woke up.
"DON'T MAKE ME GO INSIDE BY FORCE" Kaname warned the silver hair boy.
"I AM NOT HUNGRY" Zero shot at Kaname. He heard a growl from the other side of the door.
"I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY. COME OUT NOW!" Kaname kept insisting.
"..." Zero said nothing.
"DON'T YOU FUCKIN IGNORE ME!"
"GO EAT BY YURSELF AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"ZERO!" Kaname screamed Zero's name. Suddenly Cross words ringed his head.
'Control your temper'
"Can we discuss this outside?" Kaname asked after calming himself down.
"NO!" Zero yelled once again.
Kaname slammed the door opened and glared at Zero.
"I will give you one last chance. Come outside now" Kaname managed to say between his greeted teeth. But the answer he received was Zero shaking his head.
"I. Said. No"
Kaname clenched his fists.
"THEN YOU WON'T COME OUTSIDE AT ALL" and with that Kaname slammed the door shut and left Zero alone.
Zero buried his face in his pillow.
'Stupid Kaname' he thought before drifting back in his interrupted slumber.
