Chapter 7-Letter

Zero stared at the Headmaster, so many emotions enveloping him at once. Confusion, anguish, anger, surprise, and dare it, excitement. He hadn't seen his brother since tat night. He thought that he was...dead.

"I know that this must be shocking but-",Kaien was cut off by the silvernette.

"Did you know?",he asked now once again angry. The question hung in the air, both parties knowing the answer already.

"I did. But I was under orders not to tell you and Ichiru made me promise I wouldn't tell you right away",Kaien said. He knew it would anger the boy but he couldn't deny orders and he didn't want to break the promise he had made with the other twin.

Zero was angry, but at the mention of his brothers name he tried to calm down. It was difficult hearing it since it'd been so long. Orders weren't to be denied and if Ichiru didn't want him to know...he wouldn't ever deny him either.

He sighed and put his head down, bangs covering his eyes. "How?",he asked. It was such a a simple question containing a huge answer.

Kaien sighed as well."He wanted to explain it to you himself". With that the silvernette left the room to process everything.

Normal POV

So today was the middle of the week, it seemed to go by so fast. It was flying by and now it was in the middle of the week. It actually hadn't been as bad as I had thought this would be. I had actually become friends with a few people. Me and Takuma hung out all the time now and we read hid manga. I also talked some with Shiki and Rima and shared pocky with them whenever we could. Although it seemed that Aido and Ruka still didn't like me it didn't bother me really. I didn't really speak to either Kain or Seiren but I'm pretty sure we had this silent agreement that I was tolerated.

Now me and the 'Leader' were a different story. I hadn't talked to him since he brought me here but I was polite and smiled every now and then. It seemed that he would watch me from afar like the first day I was here too. I had uneasy feelings about everyone here but when it came to him it was much stronger than the rest. I still hadn't said anything to anyone and wondered that maybe that was my inner self telling me to watch out for him and the others but I didn't know.

I digress though. Besides all of that though, it was turning out to be bearable here. I still hadn't had the chance to speak to either Yuki or Zero but we smiled at each other. At least, me and Yuki did. I could tell that there was something bothering Zero but I didn't know what. I know it sounds weird, considering that I didn't see him that much, but I was sure I was right.

So here I sat on my bed with another one of the manga books I was borrowing from Takuma. It seemed he especially had a thing for vampire books like my sister. Funny, I thought I'd gotten away from that but he it was. The present bringing the past back.

"Krystal?", Takuma asked from the door. I jumped, not hearing him knock and looked up.

"Hey, whats up?",I asked. He smiled and came in, closing the door behind him. I noticed that he had a letter in his hands. "What's that?".

"It's for you",he said as he came over and sat next to me, handing me the letter.

I blinked confused but sat the book down and toke the letter from him. I read the address before smiling.

"It's my sister",I said lowly.

"You have a sister?",Takuma asked.

I looked up."Didn't I tell you?",I asked.

"No. You haven't said a word about your life since you came here",he said.

"Oh sorry. Yeah, she's my twin sister. Her names Kayla",I said before opening the letter and unfolding the paper before reading it.

Dear Krystal,

Hey, and dont as how I got the schools address. You know I'm the smart one so don't ask stupid question, even if it is hard for you. Any way's, how are you doing? I hope your having fun away from he family. I bet your wondering how everyone is holding up even though you've only been gone about half a week now right?

Well, for starters mom and dad are exactly the same. Still drinking and getting high. I don't even think they know your gone. It's like you never existed to them in the first place. But I guess we can thank all of the drugs for that. Cameron has changed though. He's gotten depressed and he actually got into a fight a school. He locks himself in his room now and doesn't talk much. I can't even get him to talk to me now. I can't say it's your fault. We all know that he brought this on himself.

The little one's are doing fine really. They were upset to know you left but they are kids. Their still messing around and doing okay though. I honestly thought that they would show more emotion but I guess being raised in this family makes you a harder person. And that could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Martel is well...himself. He was upset and cried a lot. He still does actually. But I knew he'd take it hard. He always talks about you when he's home. He's gotten into the habit of staying away as long as he can after school.

Now I guess your wondering about me right? Well I'm fine. You know, you left without much of a warning and deserted your family to make your life better. Leaving me all alone with out my best friend. Without my roommate. Don't you love the guilt trip I'm putting on you now? I'd hate to lie to you like I know you must be lieing to everyone there. Who wouldn't coming from our family though?

I miss you though. A lot. I'm holding you to that promise of coming to visit us during Christmas. I am proud of you though. Doing something good with your life now. I want to know about your grades every time you learn of them. You got away...but don't forget what you've left behind.

Love,
Kayla

My eyes watered as I finished reading the letter and I could tell that Takuma was looking at me concerned.

"Are you okay Krystal?",he asked.

I looked up and smiled."Yeah, my sister just has a way with her words",I said. She knew I hated liars more than anything. So she told me the truth. No matter how much it angered me or upset me. Although saying that now made me think this was just irony. Me hating liars and lieing but here I was lieing to everyone that weren't anything but nice to me.

"You really miss her",he said as a statement now smiling at me.

I nodded."Who wouldn't once their twin was gona away from them?".
