Allen pounded at the chest of the vampire before him as he felt the blood leave him. His punches became softer until he let the fall to his sides. What's the point? He asked himself as he stared over the shoulder of the long-haired man before him. He was going to die here, in this overgrown, long forgotten park. Would anybody care? No. Nobody would care, his body would rot away in this place. Allen's eyelids grew heavy and each time he blinked it became harder and harder to open them. Then something happened that shook his blood drained body awake, the vampire withdrew his fangs from Allen's flesh.
"You're delicious." Kanda stated, licking the last drops of Allen's blood off his lips. Allen slid to the ground and placed a gloved hand over the wound as he tried to stop the blood flow. The white glove quickly became dark red with blood and he switched hands, letting the blood soaked one fall limply on his lap. Kanda frowned at the display and crouched beside Allen.
Allen let out a low yelp as he was picked up, bridal style, by his attacker. Kanda began running at a speed impossible for humans, with the bleeding Allen in his arms. Allen closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them he was being carried up the front steps of a hospital. Allen grabbed Kanda's white shirt with a blood soaked hand, he'd rather stay and die with the vampire than enter the white maze of walls they called a hospital.
"Why did you bring me here?" Allen asked between quick breaths. Kanda smiled as he carried Allen into the building.
"I said you were delicious did I not. I'm not going to let such a sweet treat die on me now will I?" Kanda whispered into Allen's ear and he nodded slowly.
"Hey you! Get some doctors or shit! This boy's lost a lot of blood!" Kanda yelled at a nurse who was filling out paper work. Within a minute Allen was pried from Kanda's arms, placed on this bed and wheeled away to get medical attention.
Allen awoke to a room of only white. The ceiling, the walls, the bed, all pure white. Allen let out a groan as he shifted his weight, the world was still fuzzy.
"Looks like you're awake." Kanda said from the chair pushed against the wall of his hospital room. Allen turned his head to the side to look at him.
"It seems so." Allen said with a sigh. "Why'd you stop? I wouldn't mind dying."
"I already told you. Stop asking and stop with 'let me die. I'm useless' shit. If you feel useless I'll give you a job, be my little treat, to metaphorically brighten my day." Kanda replied with a small smile.
"Just don't almost kill me everyday." Allen smiled back. Kanda stood and looked through the closed blinds. The sky was beginning to become orange with the sunrise and Kanda pulled the curtains back in place.
"Shit."
"What is it?" Allen asked, trying to sit up. Kanda frowned and pushed him back down.
"The sun's coming up. I don't have enough time to get back to the house. Shit shit shit!" Kanda yelled leaning on the wall, sliding down slowly.
"Just stay here with me then. I need someone to talk to." Allen smiled as he watched the vampire get angry with himself. Allen laughed a moment as he watched Kanda throw punches at the air. Allen wasn't sure why, but he felt he could trust the vampire. He could have killed him back there, and yes he almost did, but he brought him to this god for saken hospital.
"Idiot Apprentice!" Cross yelled throwing open the door to Allen's hospital room. The girl under his arm giggled and closed the door behind them. "What the hell do you think you're doing? I don't have time to come down here every time you try to kill yourself!"
"I did not try to kill myself, and I never have! And you have plenty of time, you just spend all that time gathering whores!" Allen retorted with a frown. Cross pushed the girl away from him and walked up to Allen's bed side. Allen squeezed his eyes shut in preparation on what was about to happen. Allen willed the tears to stop as he felt the sting of his master's hand across his face.
"The fuck do you think you're doing?" Kanda growled grabbing Cross's hand before he could strike again. Cross yanked his hand back.
"Teaching this idiot a lesson and who the hell are you."
"He's just a friend, Master." Allen stated, laying down on the bed.
"Whatever. I just needed to know if I had to dump your body somewhere." Cross said before turning to the woman who he'd brought along "Come on babe, let's go to my place and continue this party."
The door slammed shut and Allen let out a relieved sigh as he rubbed the side of his face. Kanda sat on the side of Allen's bed and watched him for a moment.
"Who was that asshole?" He questioned a slight look of concern on his face as he continued to watch Allen.
"My Master. Don't mind him, he's always like that. I'll be leaving him soon, I almost have enough money to support myself until I get a job."
"Master? What is he teaching you?" Kanda frowned
"Nothing, he isn't teaching me anything. He's just my guardian and wants to be called that." Allen explained.
"That's...odd." Kanda replied. Allen laughed a bit.
"I guess you're right!"
"So, you're planning on running away?" Kanda asked, thinking maybe he could join.
"Yeah, I need around 500 bucks more and I'll have enough to live alone for three months, long enough to find a suitable job." Allen explained with a smile on his face.
