"You can't pull the trigger, Zero..." I was on the ground, my nails scratching into the dirt with the hard metal like ice on my dark face.
"Don't underestimate me. I don't think you wanna piss me off more than you already have." He spat those words out in a ferocious whisper. A voice that once soothed me, now began to violently shake me.
"Me? What have I ever done, Zero? I did nothing but be there for you-"
"Wrong," He cut me with a vicious growl that was even more staggering than the bloodthirsty animal he just fought. "You have been like acid, like poison, slowly killing me." I could not believe the spiteful words that were coming out of his mouth.
Me? Poison? Denying the love I fostered for him? No, this can't be right. There has to be some other reason as to why he's acting this way. Yuki, perhaps? Did she do something to alter his mind?
"That's right, the only poison here is you." A childish voice rang in my eardrums. My tired eyes drifted, and there I saw her, more snobby than she ever was, her doll-like face dimpled and decorated with a smile: Yuki. The corroding metal that was still locked against my temple made my head thump in tune to my twisted heartbeat.
"Shut up." I snapped with a furious snarl, liquid anger and hurt and betrayal streaming down my reddened cheeks. Why did things have to be like this? Why has his mind, once so pure and good, now changed into something so malevolent?
"No," He breathed, "You shut up." Lifting me with his free arm and holding my shaking body against his hard chest, he clutched my mouth with his cold hand, now positioning the gun to the side of my skull. Gasping and whimpering from the sudden shock of pain, I wondered whether I did deserve this act of abuse. If I never existed, my sister wouldn't be faced with those jealous feelings and isolation; Zero wouldn't be misguided, and Kaname wouldn't be forced to delve into the dark side of himself.
With the silver-haired vampire's grip tightening, I tried to move, but failed, Yuki's verbal remarks making things worse.
"Insensitive, powerless, selfish, bitch." Suddenly, I copped a blow to the stomach by her rippling psychic power. I opened my mouth, but my screams were muted; it felt like I was being struck by sharp stones and cutting glass. Bow after blow, this time with her own fists and fingernails, streamed scarlet blood down my bare skin. Battered, bruised and barely holding back a river of salty tears, the clicking of metal made me feel conscious of every gasping breath I was able to suck in.
"Why...are...you...doing...this..." The words barely escaped my weakened state. My sister, with blood stained on her fingers, cupped my chin, her eyes glowing with the eyes of a demon.
"Simple. You die, we win." She smirked, and I wished that I could just close my eyes and block every cruel work that came out of her.
Yuki wasn't always this girl, she used to be so kind, so gentle and compassionate...but now her soul has transpired into something vile and filled with the hatred, jealously and emptiness that grew on her. It's sad how people change, when the pain they endure in life and the conflict that they are faced with cause them to turn into a monster. Is it the work of Satan himself, or is it a necessity for us all to delve into the darkness within us eventually?
Zero stood so silent, so still and unaffected by the violence that was bestowed upon him, as if he was numb and had a heart of stone.
"No, no, you lose," I wailed, trying so hard to escape Zero's prison. "Killing me will get you nowhere, yeah you might feel some kind of satisfaction, but it won't last. Your efforts will amount to nothing, Yuki." It took every ounce of strength in my body to pronounce those words.
"Fine," she gave in, "Leave her here then, Zero. Lets go."
Thrown to the ground like a sack of potatoes, I scraped my knee in the process, my body was rugged and my clothes were torn and shredded.
They began to walk. Zero, with his violet eyes locking directly into mine, had a strange facial expression. He looked angry, but had a spiral of hurt in his eyes, like some part of him on the inside was begging and screaming for help on the inside.
With Yuki further ahead, I choked a whisper without thinking: "Zero...I love you."
His expression changed and, for that split second, I saw the old Zero.
Hey people! Soooo sorry for the late update, I've been so busy with school and homework that I haven't had time to write! I hope this chapter is satisfying...At least until I write the next chapter (which I PROMISE you will be longer!) It's the holidays for me, so I don't know when I'll write more, since I'll be going to friends places and yeah...Wow I'm blabbering on and on...I hope you enjoyed the chapter (yes, I know it was dark, sorry about that too) I hate hurting Valeria, as do I hate making Zero the bad guy. Hopefully I'll be able to think up some good plot twists, because right now I honestly don't even know what to do for the next upcoming chapters!
Well, bye for now! xx
