Chapter 5

The Spy Among Us PART 2

Demira's POV

Since I had teleported randomly, I found myself standing near Argro, he was bleeding badly and we were at the back gate, the gate he used to run away from three months ago. Relief flooded his face, but I could still see pain in his expression, "Did they do anything to you?" he asked, the question startled me, and I saw a wound at the bottom of his chest, it shocked me to see him in this state. It reminded me of when he jumped in front of me to take that blow from that blade Ryu tried to kill me with, and I remember when I gave Argro my blood to heal. I now regret saving his life, making level E's and attacking this Academy like he did, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for him, after all, he has my blood in him now, I am responsible for his actions now, a burden that I held onto, as I saved him.

So, I couldn't help asking, "What happened now, Argro?"

He looked away from me, eyes locked on the ground, this made me angry and I slapped him. "Answer me asshole!" I yelled at him, he looked back at me, startled at what I just called him, haven't I called him that before? I don't know, probably multiple times by now.

"A hunter came after me, I hoped I killed him back for what he has done." He snarled, the first thought I had was that he killed Zero, since Zero was the only one that was capable of killing him, and he was a hunter by blood.

"What did you do to Zero?" I growled, when he was about to answer, I heard something behind me, someone that I didn't know, it wasn't a Level E, since I could sense them easily, two of them, one felt weird, and the other was human.

I summoned my favourite katana from my flames and held it towards where I was sensing them. Argro's face read fear all over it, but what was he scared of a human with someone that I couldn't sense well? Oh yeah, I guess he's scared about the person I couldn't sense well.

Two people came from behind a tree, a boy and a girl. The boy was clearly human, his muscles sharp, and held a dagger in his hand, and the girl, she was clearly I couldn't feel. Not human or vampire, or Shadow Vampire in this situation. She had a slim body, with some muscles showing here and there, she was tall too, just a bit taller than the boy, her hair was flowing with the small wind, making it look like a fan was blowing right in front of her.

She looked familiar and yet she looked like a complete stranger, what is with that?

And with the wind blowing in complete different directions, her sleeve flew up and I froze at what I saw on her upper arm.

It was dark blue, and it took shape of a raindrop, and it looked wet, making it look like it had a healing effect, and then, I realized that she was a Charmer. When I made that discovery, the boy realized that I was staring at her in shock and he came at me and I reacted just in time to block his attack with my katana and knocked him off his feet.

I hovered my katana over his throat, "Don't even bother, I have no intention to kill her." I said, taking a small glance to Argro, his face registered surprise and awe, and when I looked down at the boy I just took down, or rather, man, he kept on looking at me and then at the girl.

I walked over to the girl, no wonder I couldn't sense her properly, since I haven't been around a Charmer long enough to remember their presence, I was only young the last time I saw my sister, and I didn't have my sensing ability to sense things like I do now, and I hadn't seen another Charmer since.

I sent my katana away by flames once again and lifted up my skirt up, (I know, I don't usually wear skirts but I realized that I am more flexible in them, so I decided to wear them to see if they make any improvements in my fights), to show my tattoo-lookalike thing I had.

It was red, blood red more like it, it was shaped as a flame, and instead or a wet, cool healing effect on it, it was burnt, looking destructible, beautiful and powerful, just like a real flame. It was burned into my skin, unlike hers, it looked like her was there because it was on by water like a temporary tattoo that you could get, and mine looked like I got a flame and burned my leg in a shape of a flame just for the sake of it.

The girl saw it and gasped and covered her tattoo thingy with her hand and stared at me in wonder. I put my skirt down and watched her, waiting for her to say something, and then she spoke. "We're the same. You are the same as me!" she cried out, running over to me.

She grabbed onto me and knocked me to the ground, I was too startled to react. Tears filled the girl's eyes and she grabbed onto my shirt. "Tell me please! What am I? Why do you have a flame and I got a raindrop?"

I sat up, and saw the pleads that were in the girls eyes, and then I got a little confused. "What about your parents?" I asked, surely if one of them were Charmers, they should've told her about it, unless… they were dead.

"What do you mean my parents? They are dead." She said calmly, a very confused look in her eyes. She was only about fifteen years old.

"How did they die?" I asked.
"By Him." she pointed to Argro, who was panting against the tree, now clutching his chest.

I got up and walked over to him and punched him in the face, it broke his nose and blood started to come out. I didn't know why I did it, I just felt angry with him, and I felt a smile come from the man that I took down earlier.

"Why did you do that Argro!" I yelled at him, he looked hurt. No shit! I thought to myself, he has been stabbed my something like a sword that could kill him and I just pretty much broke his nose. But, not physically hurt, but emotionally as well. Like my punch and yelling hurt him as well.

"It was my first assignment after my turning of a Shadow Vampire, and I had to kill a family that raised Shadow Vampire hunters, I pretty much killed the girl, but her brother came out to save her at the last moment. I had no idea she was a Charmer, she was human the last time I saw her, and I didn't feel her when I was battling her brother back in Canada, Demi, please forgive me." He blurted out, as if he knew that I was going to hit him again. Ha, no wonder those too looked alike. I ignored his plea for forgiveness.

I turned and faced the girl again, "How did you survive his attack?" I asked, my voice hard.

Her brother spoke for her this time, the first time I heard him speak, "A strange woman came and saved her, ever since that night she had that raindrop tattoo could use water as I weapon and follow scents."

"How?"
"She fed my sister with her blood, and the woman looked like that she going to pass out from the blood loss, she gave Alida a lot of her blood, just to survive and turn into something that's not human or vampire. Answer me, what has that woman turned my sister into?" he yelled at me, my expression didn't change, there had to be a serious person here, ready with answers, and I guess I was the only one that was capable of that.

"I am a Charmer, and so is your sister, I wield fire, and from the looks of it, your sister wields water. I don't know that woman who saved her, but I just don't know how she did it though, with the turning I mean."

"She did give me her blood, but she took some of mine in return, and I had her memories in my head for a few months before finally fighting it so they wouldn't bother me. Why did I see her memories?"

Argro's POV

As the water-Charmer asked that question, I remembered to when Demi gave me her blood to save my life, I had her memories in me for awhile before they started to disappear. I had her feelings in me for the entire time that I was away from Cross Academy, but, now, I can't feel them now, I guess I lost her blood then.

I always thought blood carried power and memories and all. But this was an entire new thing. Charmers and show their memories to anyone now. But, why didn't I change into a Charmer, when I had Demi give me her blood? Maybe my blood was stronger, or was it that you need a lot of blood for a turning? Must be then.

Oh God, I wanted Demira's blood right now, I wanted to pass out so that she would want to save my life and fill her mouth with her blood again and had to kiss me to put it into me. I wanted those soft lips on mine once again. I was surprised I haven't died from the blood loss, and I was really hungry for blood.

I fell to my knees and I saw the concern from Demira's eyes, I think she still owed her life to me, as long as she gets to kiss me again, I relieve any guilt.

My vision started to blur, I wasn't really in peace like I had thought when I thought I had accomplished everything besides getting at Kaname, I suddenly had a thing I wanted to do, I wanted to show my love for Demira and I wanted her to tell me that she had hidden love for me too, then, I would go on and be reborn as someone else, since my body kept on resisting to give in so I could die for this time around.

I heard Demira's footsteps as she ran towards me and dropped to her knees next to me. "Fuck, Argro. What the hell? Man, this better be the last thing I have to do this!" She groaned, and I heard metal come out and I smelt the lovely smell of Demira's blood and heard her sucking it into her mouth.

I mentally smiled and imagined Demira's lips on mine just like she had over three months ago. When I imagined that her lips came off mine and left that electricity feeling just like last time, Demira's lips came on mine and I felt her blood slip through her lips as her lips parted a little just enough to pass the blood down into my mouth.

Fire shot through me, that feeling that you get when you kiss someone that you love and hold dear, not Demira burning me with her fire, which I can imagine her doing if I actually piss her off enough.

Her lips tried to be straight and not move, making it look like she was doing it against her will, but is enjoying it at the same time, I smirked into the 'kiss' and had the thought of them with me forever.

Suddenly, I felt a twitch in her lips before her lips disappeared and she gave out a little yelp. I shot up and opened my eyes, blinking a few times to see my vision normal, her blood was already working, but I saw some blood slip out of her mouth, meaning that something stopped her from giving me that kiss and blood.

I saw more of her blood at her arm, and saw a dagger, with a hand holding it. D's face was close to Demira's, giving her a snarl before pulling the dagger out and jumped for me and Demi was in front of him and she fell over somehow and landed on my chest just as he brought the dagger down and it got her thigh and I heard her yelp once more and felt the dagger go through her thigh and I felt the tip of the dagger scrape my chest.

Demi kicked him with her other leg, pushing him away from us, and I sprang into action.

I pushed Demi off me and jumped at D, grabbed his neck and broke it in an unnatural way and his body fell limp in my arms. When I looked down at what I just done, I was shocked. I was glad that I just killed the man that tried to kill my Demira and I was too lost in my anger that I didn't know what I was doing until it was done.

"D!" his sister cried out, running over to him and holding his dead body in her arms as I backed away from it.

I decided that I needed to leave the girl with his dead brother so she could cry in silence so I grabbed Demi and teleported us to the house that I had lived in Canada for the last three months. I didn't need Zero to find us and go spastic about Demi's condition and seeing Demi's blood on my lips, I would have to take her back later so Zero won't see me, because I think he won't think twice about shooting me if he sees me with Demira again that will give him the wrong thoughts.

I shifted Demi in my arms so that I was carrying her bridal-style. I wondered about telling her that I love her right then, but then, I saw that she was asleep, probably so her body could heal since a dagger went through her thigh, and I don't know how bad the other injury was, but the best part was I hadn't woken when I shifted her body around in my arms. :P

I walked upstairs and put her on a spare bed and saw her cute face that she always has when she's asleep. I thought about leaving her to go to the Academy to finish off Kaname, but then, nah. Kaname can wait, and I didn't want to leave Demi alone when any of my minions could come in and attack her, thinking that she is a snack, but I knew that it was impossible, since they are all in Japan and we are in Canada.

I took a deep breath before sitting down on the bed next to her on the bed, without touching her curled up body. Her breathing was even and she wore a worn-out smile on her face. I fought the urge to touch her face just to feel her smooth skin under my skin and to kiss her, to feel the softness of them once more.

I gave in and caressed her face and gave her a kiss on her lips before getting up and leaving the room. She would need some clean clothes soon when she wakes up, and I don't plan on going to Cross Academy for her clothes, I just hope that I can find some of my clothes that will fit her, we will probably but some clothes when she wakes up later, unless she goes crazy and tries to kill me.
