Ch. 4: Revelations

(Nathan Kisuki Cross)

I woke with a start. The same dream again. I remembered what happened yesterday and what Yuki told me. Vampires were real. And to make things worse, there was an entire class of vampires nearby. I looked at the clock near my bed.

12:42 PM.

Now I was really awake. I overslept. I immediately got out of bed and got dressed. I went to the door and saw a note. It was from Yuki.

"Nathan, just a reminder, today is a Saturday." I sighed in relief, and kept reading. "When you do wake up, I need you to come down to the courtyard. We need to talk."

I knew this had to be about the vampire situation. I opened the door, and saw some students talking. When they saw me, they stopped talking and stared at me. I went out to the courtyard, and it was the same with everyone else. Everyone who saw me stopped talking and just stared. I just walked ahead, trying not to make eye contact. I eventually found Yuki, and she pulled me away from everyone else. We were in a more outer area of the courtyard, not many people around. We sat down under a tree and I finally asked her, "So what do we need to talk about?"

She looked around, I guess to make sure no one could hear us, and said, "Do you know how you got those marks on your neck?" I didn't understand for a moment, but remembered the bandage. I shook my head no and she continued. "That type of bite mark can only come from a vampire bite." I tried to absorb this information. Then, I had a bit of a flashback moment.

It was that dream again. No, not a dream, a memory.

I was being thrown out of the car. I was running to my dad. I was stopped by the man and was thrown back. I fell and the man jumped me. He moved my head and I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I felt something moving under my skin, and I cried out in pain. The man pulled back and I saw Dad pulling him off. He turned him over and punched him. He yelled, "Go, get out of here!" And his neck was snapped. It was like my dream, but warped. My dream was a memory. Dad had nearly killed the man he was fighting, but Mom died. The man who fought Mom went behind Dad and snapped his neck. By that time, I was running away. I was pulled back into reality when Yuki started to shake me awake. I was lying on the ground and she looked really worried. I explained what had happened with my parents, and how they died. She was shocked when she heard they were killed by vampires. I began to cry, but I forced the tears down.

I got up and ran off. Yuki started to call me back, but I kept going. I just wanted to be alone. I saw a tree up ahead and decided to climb it. There wasn't a school rule saying that I couldn't, so I went for it. I jumped and landed on the lowest branch. I started to climb, and sat down on a strong limb. I looked down, and saw I was about ten feet up. Yuki was looking for me. She ran off somewhere else after a few seconds. I stayed up in the tree for a while.

I just wanted to be alone.

(Yuki Cross)

'Where could he be?' I thought to myself. 'I was on his tail, then all of a sudden he disappears.' All I wanted to do was talk to him about his bite marks. 'Then again, I guess he would like some privacy. His parents being killed by vampires is pretty hard to take.' I thought about where I would go for privacy. I ran over to the dorm areas and searched for him there. I asked around, but they all said they hadn't seen him recently. I kept looking, but couldn't find him anywhere. I eventually gave up and went to the headmaster's office. I saw him frantically trying to finish some paperwork. He saw me come in and told me to take a seat. I sat down and waited. He finished the last of his paperwork and looked at me.

"So, how is he?"

"Not good." I replied. "He told me about his past. He was bit by a vampire, but it is unclear if it was a pure blood or something else. After that, he ran off somewhere and I lost him." He was looking outside.

"Yes, well...that's to be expected of him. Hold on." He told me to come over to the window, and he pointed at a nearby tree. I looked out and saw a black shape. "I believe I found him," he said with a smile. He knocked on the window, and Nathan looked up. Unfortunately, he was a bit surprised that we saw him, and he fell ten feet out of a tree. We looked on and saw him hit a few branches and finally hit the ground. We ran outside and found him still lying there. I shook him and he gave a groan. He tried to get up, but fell down an his face. The headmaster and I picked him up and, with some difficulty, took him to the nurse's office. She didn't look surprised when he saw him.

She examined him and said, "There's good news and bad news. The good news is that no internal organs were seriously harmed." I sighed with relief.

"And the bad news?" The headmaster asked. The nurse looked down a little, it had to be something bad.

"Unfortunately, not only did he fracture his left arm, he is also unconscious. At most, I would say he would be in it for less than a week, about the time it would take for his arm to heal." She walked off and left us. The headmaster also left, saying he had to get back to work. I stayed, and sat next to him. I stayed there until the nurse said I had to go. I went and hoped Nathan would be okay.

Okay, so now Nathan knows about how his parents really died. Next chapter will mainly focus on Nathan's acceptance of his "destiny". R&R, PM, Peace Out!
