Chapter 5: The Hunt for Nysissa

He just sighs and leaves her a note telling her where he is before leaving to go meet the hunters and Kaname.

Out in the courtyard Kaname waited for Zero when he sensed the hunters.

"Please to be your acquaintance hunters. How can I help you."

"Shut it. We're only working with you because of Kiryu and you know it." Said the one who was attending the school just a few weeks ago.

"Nice to see you again too."

Zero walked out with his gun on his side.

"Ok, here's how this will go. You guys spread out. This is what he looks like. That is the vampire we are after. His name is Rio. He has this girl." He said as he hands them two pictures.

"Rio is an easy slip away. He's a pureblood who knows how to manipulate his blood to use it as a weapon."

The hunters stood listening until Zero told them to begin. Then they all left leaving Zero and Kaname.

Zero looked at him and left. Giving into the vampire side so he could track his sister and Nysissa down.

'Ryisaz, where are you? I know you are with her. Where are you?'

Then he snapped out of his thoughts when he caught onto a scent of her blood. The blood he knew so well. He followed it. Lead him right to the hiding. But only Nysissa wasn't with them. It was just Ryisaz.

She was badly beaten. With whip marks all over her same ones that Kaname was talking about.

"Zero, you have to leave. He'll come back. Back for you. He wants you and Kaname. He wants to kill Kaname. He wants his power. He wants the power of another pureblood."

That's when Zero heard a scream.

"Nysissa."

Zero quickly helps Ryisaz up and puts her.

"You need to feed. You need to be to your full potential."

"No. Leave me here. You go help her. She's more unpredictable. She has no idea what she can do. He could kill her and take her power then Kaname's."

Zero nodded and set her down by a tree before taking off to go get Nysissa.
