Zero woke up extremely early on the third day since Circe was attacked. Kaien gave her a sedative every six hours during the day, so she was always out cold now. It worried him that she was so vulnerable that day. It bothered him. Something was bothering her on the inside, he knew it.
"You up, man?" Ichiru whispered to his twin on the other side of the room.
"Yea, Is she supposed to wake up today?"
Ichiru counted hours, "Yea, in about …" He glanced at the clock, "three hours. We'll be in school. Crap."
"Then I won't go to school today. That's it." Zero rolled over in his bed.
Ichiru sighed, "You'll have to get one of the Night Class to watch her. You can't not go to school."
Zero growled at his twin, angered. He didn't want to leave her if she was going to wake soon. Slowly, Zero got up and walked over to his cousin's bed. He bent down and ruffled her hair. She was so relaxed and peaceful when she was in the drugs, but her body showed her pain. She was covered in cuts, scraps, and bruises. When they had gone to find Akio, he was simply gone. It scared Zero that the monster who hurt his family was out there still. That monster could come back and hurt her again, or Yuuki if she was out, or any female student.
Ichiru got up from his warm bed and walked or to his brother, "I'll get ready and go to the Moon Dorm and ask Kuran if he can spare one of the vampires to watch her while we're gone. I'll even ask for two so that one can come get us when she wakes. Will that make you feel better?"
Zero looked Ichiru, "Let them into our room?"
"…We'll ask to take her there then, happy?"
He grunted, "Not exactly, but it will have to do." Ichiru went to get dress and soon left to go ask the Headmaster and Kuran the favor. Zero got ready and packed a small bag for the girl.
Ichiru walked slowly as he transferred Circe from their Sun Dorm room to Aido and Kain's Moon Dorm room. Zero had gone off to class already with Headmaster Kaien to explain the situation. As he walked up the Moon Dorm steps, Kaname opened the large double doors for him.
"Thank-you." Ichiru looked down at his sleeping cousin as he ascended the stairs. Kaname led him to Aido and Kain's bed room.
"Hey, how is she?" Kain asked as he opened the door.
Aido motioned to his large, poufy, comfy bed, "Set her down there, when she wakes one of us will come get you."
Ichiru gently laid the small girl in the large bed. She seemed smaller on it. Ichiru turned and held out the bag Zero had packed, "When she wakes, have Rima dress her in these cloths. There's also some food and water in there and a jacket to keep her warm. Also there's medicine and-"
"And anything she could possibly need." Kain cut him off and smiled, "We get it man, no worries."
"Thanks again." Ichiru kissed Circe's forehead before he left.
Aido curled up in a chair next to his bed, "So they didn't find him?" He asked his older cousin.
"No, they went to look for him and he was gone. No one could find him anywhere, he as just missing." Kain sat on the arm of the chair and looked down at the silver-haired girl.
Aido frowned, "How is that possible?"
The elder boy shrugged. The two boys looked at each other, and then began to start out the window.
"Mmmh?" There was a rustling of sheets and the cousins quickly turned around to see that Circe had moved slightly.
"Circe?" Kain whispered quietly
"It hurts…." She twisted to her side and cried out in pain. Tears quickly filled her eyes. Her broken bones and bruises and other injuries ached so much. Her mind was foggy, she couldn't remember what happened. There was an aching between her legs, something that seemed impossible unless….. It all flooded back to her.
Suddenly, the boys watched as there was a whirlwind of movement and sheets. Circe was not wrapped in the sheets on the floor on the far side of the bed. All the movement hurt her, but she was so confused. It wasn't her room, was she kidnapped? An inhuman growl escaped her lips, shocking Kain.
"Circe? Circe honey, it's okay. You're in Aido and I's room. Zero and Ichiru are in school and wanted us to watch you. Do you want us to go get them?" Kain asked softly, slowing moving toward the frightened girl. She didn't speak.
Circe turned to the window and stepped onto the ledge outside of it. "Circe don't!" Aido screamed before she jumped down to the ground. The ground was unforgiving under her feet, but she ran. A sob broke through her body at the pain, but she didn't stop. In no time, she was in front of the school.
Zero and Ichiru were sitting side by side in class, learning about history. They weren't paying attention, all they wanted was to get that message from Aido and Kain that Circe was alright and awake. Zero folded and unfolded a paper several times. Ichiru scribbled on his hand. Time seemed to pass by very slowly.
Several girls in the class screamed as the double doors were flung open. Yuuki, Zero and Ichiru all jumped up, ready to defend the class. Yuki gasped as she saw the wild face of a scared Circe. The three watched in horror as she collapsed on the floor. The entire class was screamed and began to run about. Ichiru ran down over the desks to his cousin.
"EVERYONE STOP IT!" the teacher yelled.
"Circe!" Ichiru dropped down next to the small, fragile body.
Everything in her body hurt. Thoughts couldn't form right. Suddenly, there was a man next to her, trying to touch her. She panicked, a man had hurt her, and now another was by her. Circe's mind didn't recognize Ichiru as her cousin, someone safe. She screamed and backed away from him.
"No, Ichiru, get away from her! Her mind has shielded itself and in defense, it won't recognize you as safe!" Yuuki yelled to him over the noise. Quickly, she picked up the frightened girl and ran out of the room.
"Circe, Circe, it's okay hun." Yuuki set the girl down in an empty class. Circe curled into a ball.
"No more men," she gasped between tears.
"What about you cousins? And Kain and Shiki?" Yuuki brushed a strand of silver hair away.
"No males." Circe twisted her hair; clearly her mind was no longer balanced by the look in her eyes. "I want it off…" she whined.
Yuuki turned her head to the side, "What off?" she asked. In response, Circe held up a lock of her long silver hair. "What, no!" Yuuki quickly took a hair tie from her arm and pulled the younger girl's hair into a high ponytail.
"I want it off…. I want to leave..." Circe was whispering to herself.
Suddenly, the door to the empty classroom opened as the twins and the Headmaster entered. Circe screamed and hid behind Yuuki.
"Yuuki, move aside please." Kaien Cross pulled a syringe out of his medical bag. Yuuki stepped away from Circe quickly as Zero and Ichiru grabbed the girl. Circe kicked and screamed as the boys held her down. Kaien quickly injected a sedative into her arm. Slowly, Circe's movements became less and she passed out. Ichiru gathered her in his arms.
"What do you think brought this on?" Zero asked.
"Well, her mind had to cope with the fact she had been raped. To shield itself, her mind decided all men are dangerous." Kaien explained. "She should wake up soon. Just leave her locked in your room and wait to go in until you hear her moving around." He held open the door as Ichiru carried his beloved cousin back to their dorm.
Circe awoke alone in her room. She remembered everything that had happened. Everything hurt. She remembered her dream, with that long hair. Every so slowly, Circe climbed out of her bed and padded over to the bathroom. She still had on the red silk pajamas from three days ago when she looked in the mirror. Her silver hair was all around her shoulders, and for the first time in her life, she hated it. One of the ordinate knives she brought with her was sitting in the counter. Picking it up and flicking it open, she took a deep breath as she gathered her hair in her hand. Circe held the knife against the sliver stream, and began slicing it. Within a few minutes, three feet of the silken hair had fallen to the floor. Circe's hair was now at her shoulders for the first time.
Circe walked over to the dressers. She pulled out a pair of sweat pants and grabbed one of Ichiru's sweatshirts. Pulling them on with a pair of converse shoes, she opened the window and silently dropped from it. Circe left school grounds and headed to town.
"Think she's up yet?" Zero asked his brother.
"Not sure, let's check." Ichiru slowly peeked into the door as he opened it.
"Is she up?" Zero whispered.
"HOLEY SHIT!" Ichiru threw the door open and it slammed against the wall.
"What?"
"SHE GONE!" Ichiru ran into the room and stared at the open window.
"I told you to lock that!" Zero shouted.
"She must have unlocked it, don't blame me!" Ichiru leaned out the window to look for her.
"Oh crap…" Zero stood in front of the bathroom and stared at the floor.
"What? Oh….. No..." Ichiru covered his mouth as he saw all of Circe's beautiful silver hair on the ground, along with the knife she dropped there.
"Where could she be?" Ichiru asked.
"I don't know, but I'm about to find out." Zero growled and stalked out of the room, Ichiru trailing behind him.
Circe walked into the department store and grabbed a basket. Walking through the aisle, she soon found the first thing she was looking for. Circe picked up the black box dye and placed it in the basket. She was tempted to pick up green highlights, but decided that red would match the black better. She straightened and dreaded walking to get the next item on her list. Without looking at what she was doing, Circe swept three pregnancy tests into the basket. While she was checking out, the female clerk gave her a disgusted look as she scanned the test. Carefully, Circe pushed her sleeves up to reveal the scars on her arms, and the scowl turned into an apologetic look. Quickly, Circe headed back to her dorm.
Circe managed to climb back in the window. She walked to the bathroom and began to set the die in her short hair. The root hairs from her part were all died a blood red, while the rest was colored a dark midnight black. While she waited for the dye to set, she read the directions for the pregnancy test. As soon as the dye was washed from her hair and it had been towel dried, she took the test.
They boys had run throughout the entire campus, but had not found their little cousin. Finally, they headed back to their room. As Zero opened the door, he saw a plastic bag on Circe's bed.
"Shh…" He looked at his twin and pointed at the bed.
Slowly, Ichiru walked over to the bathroom and peered inside. There, Circe lay on the flood in front of the toilet. "Circe, darling, are you okay?" he was shocked at her hair, but that could wait.
Zero leaned down next to her. "Circe?"
Slowly, Circe lifted her head to show a tear stained face. Her eyes were swollen and red. She held up the pregnancy test. "It's positive" She whispered before throwing herself in her eldest cousin's arms.
A/N: Poor Circe! Sorry it's a really late update, school is ending next week! But so, yea, I tossed the idea around for a really long time deciding if Circe would be pregnant or not. In the end, I actually flipped a coin. It landed on tails…..THAT NEVER HAPPENS! Hope you liked it, Please review and subscribe!
