Chapter 5: Thirst

Kanda P.O.V

I stood outside the cellar's door that sat 15ft away from the house, staring at the tall grass surrounding me. Lavi sat against a tree, reading out loud what ever book he was reading.

Drowning him out I listen to the sound inside the cellar, which were so low I was tempted to go inside... but the slight screams I could hear kept my feet in place.

When the cellar doors finally reopen, a worn out Lenalee came threw. Black blood was splatter on her face as well as her lab coat. I heard Lavi close his book.

"It definitely a vampire...the only way I can explain why the blood was red is that the innocent on it left arm purified it blood. What I can't explain is why and how." Lenalee said taking off her gloves that were cover in black blood.

The White Star, the frist vampire I capture alive a week ago, who had red blood for the first 2 days, before the blood return to the black color it should be. It was also the first vampire I every seen that had an innocent. According to Lenalee the vampire shouldn't even be alive if the innocent is attached to it.

"Should we just kill it?" I asked.

"No, It will be better if I do some more research." Lenalee said. She look even more overly exhausted then usual.

"Well that good, but you should rest Lenalee." Lavi said putting his arm around Lenalee shoulder and guiding her back to the house.

I look back at the cellar before I turn and followed the others.

Allen P.O.V

The Earl once told me that the cruelest being on Earth were not demons, were not us, were not animals, was not even the god that put us all here, it was human being. Because you see humans have an ability to see the things that they are doing as good.

You may think we're cruel because some of us kill for fun, or kill for food. But humans in the end would be the cruelest; all you need to do to prove it is to look back on man kinds history. The witch hunts, the crusade, and etc. They prove human cruelty, ...and greed.

But then again good and evil is just an opinion in the end.

So I question myself as I always do, but now I'm soak in my own blood as I slowly try to heal the wound on my stomach which had been cut into, do I deserve this. I may have kill humans, but I pity them. I try to protect them. And one thing's for sure is that I never tortured a human.

Leaning against the underground wall my wounds wouldn't heal fast enough to drown out the pain. Bitting into my lip hard I ignore the fact that it drew blood.

7 times that witch came down here, 7 times the witch cut me open and experiment on me.

Spitting out blood from my mouth, I wish I could drink my own blood and it would work like how I drink others. If I was stronger I would have been able to to rip out the witches throat with my bear teeth.

But the thirst had hindered me. It had been so long since I felt the Thirst, since I felt true hunger.

It takes 2 months of not drinking blood for and average vampire to began experiencing the thirst. I felt the thirst on the first day, before I met the witch. I had forgotten how much tons of blood I drank in a day. I needed blood, I need blood. I need to keep my vampire blood strong so it can fight the innocence.

So now my wound heal as slow a human, the thirst is driving me crazy, and the innocence is killing my vampire cell making me as useless as a doll.

Neah would laugh at me if he saw me and Mana would... I grined to myself. I hadn't seen my brother's in forever.

And probably wouldn't even see them again because if the human didn't kill, the innocent will. "What a fitting end." I laughed
