Chapter 8: Shocking News
Everyone in Sotoba was in shock from what just happened. Megumi Shimizu—age 14—died from erratic heart failure. The people most shocked were her parents, Kaori, Natsuno, Connor, and Dr. Ozaki.
Ozaki's Point of View:
It appeared as anemia, how could this have happened!?
Why couldn't I see it? What was it that I missed?
Kaori's Point of View:
Megumi...*sniffle*...it wasn't your time...
Natsuno:
Shimizu's dead?
It must have something to do with those people...
Wait, why am I worried about it? I wasn't very close to her.
Still, it feels like...I...lost a...part...of myself.
Inferno:
What is this? Why are all these mortals mourning? Where's the hatred...the anger...the BLOOD...the DEATH?
Wait...this scent...this is the scent of...VAMPIRES!
There is death in this village...but not permanent death.
What are this one's origins?
Female...Young...exotic...loving?!
This creature is not the one I seek!
Connor:
Was I imagining the feelings? No...that coldness was real...as was the lack of...a pulse.
That little girl also...acted...older than she should be.
These factors plus the eyes and the fact that Seishiro told us they only come out at night due to a "rare medical condition"?!
There's no such thing...they...they are...vampires.
...It might be best to keep this to myself for now. I don't know if anyone else here believes in such things. Besides, there's something far more dangerous, and much more terrifying than the undead that I have to deal with...Soul Edge.
