Chapter 6: No Escape

Yuuki

My ears rang from the sound of a gunshot echoing off the bleak stone walls. The room was bathed in the overwhelmingly sweet scent of blood. My eyes settled on the unmoving form of a male in front of me, blood pouring from his chest and out of his back where the bullet exited. I looked from the man in front of me to the heavy weight that was still clasped in my dainty hands, the smoking gun shining bright.

It's not a sin to kill a vampire.

"Bloody Rose" I whispered aloud as I read the side of the gun, why would someone name a gun that? I wondered if maybe it was because the blood scattered like fallen rose petals.

Bloody Rose!

I stared down at the gun in my hand in utter shock. This is Zero's gun! My heartbeat quickened and nausea bubbled up my throat as reality came crashing down like a ton of bricks. Bloody Rose slid from my grasp and rested on the ground next to a lifeless hand in the pool of blood.

I was terrified...so terrified to look at the face of the one that lay before me but I knew I had to even though I would know the shape of those hands regardless of how much time I had gone without seeing them. I lifted my eyes slowly, tears flowing the second I caught sight of the messy silver hair.

What have I done...

I leaned over his lifeless form; his features peaceful and free of pain. "Oh Zero no!" His features blurred as more tears fell. In a desperate attempt to save him I brought my wrist to my mouth and bit down; pulling as much blood into my mouth as I could and pushed my mouth to his, my blood sliding down his throat easily.

I waited.

Please Zero...

And I waited.

Please...

No sound beat from his chest, No color returned to his face, the wound still bled, and never once did his chest rise with a labored breath. He was gone and not even my pureblood powers could bring him back. Zero is gone and I killed him.

I'm alone...

Kaname is dead too.

I killed him...

I killed Zero...my chest ached with an unimaginable pain so excruciating that words cannot describe. I had sank myself into hell and there was no escape for me.

Please...Zero... I love you...

My eyes fell on the shiny steel that starkly contrasted with the dull crimson of blood that covered the floor around us. I reached out with a shaky hand and gingerly picked Bloody Rose up as if it might bite me. The left side was completly stained with blood which seemed rather fitting.

There's no escape.

"I'm so sorry Zero..." I whispered to no one. "I'm so... so sorry..."

Soon... I will be with Zero...

I lifted Bloody Rose to my right temple and closed my eyes.

"It is not a sin to kill a vampire." I whispered weakly and pulled the trigger.

A/N: I'm horrible... But seriously please never, ever, EVER, take your own life. You may feel like there's no escape and that you're at the very pits of the Underworld but suicide is never the answer. You are improtant. You are amazing. You are needed in this world.

So I hope you enjoyed or hated or whatever makes you feel all fuzzy inside. Please don't forget to review! ^,..,^
