"Yes...?" She asked shakily. It was Pauline.
"We're going out. Will you be all right by yourself? We have to do some food shopping."
"Yes, mum...I'll be fine."
"Okay, Lizzy or should I say 'Riji' and 'Erisabesu" now we're in Japan?" Pauline giggled.
"Yeah, whatever, Okaa-san..." Elizabeth said hastily. "Just go."
"Okay, Lizzy. See you later."
When Pauline and Alan had left, Elizabeth backed away from Rido, but not breaking eye contact.
"You're a...vampire..? I'm a vampire too...?" she started mumbling incoherently in both English and Japanese. She was terrified. She tried to make a break for it, but the key turned by itself and locked her in.
"What do you want with me?" Elizabeth questioned.
"Your my slave, Riji-chan. That's why I turned you into a vampire. My blood will keep you from becoming a Level E, but I'm not giving it to you yet."
"What's a Level E?" Elizabeth asked.
"It is a human turned vampire who has gone mad and attacks humans in it's pursuit of blood."
"I don't want to turn into that...you have to give me your blood."
"Oh, no...you are not having any of my blood."
"But that isn't fair! You cannot create a slave and then not look after it! If you don't give me your blood, I will scream this house down and I will scream 'pervert' over and over again. I don't think you'd like that, now would you?"
Rido snarled and bit his wrist. Before Elizabeth could do anything, she felt Rido's arm around her waist and his lips on hers. He forcefully parted her lips with his tongue. Her eyes widened and all thoughts flew from her head. He allowed the blood from his wrist to trickle into her mouth and down her throat. She moaned at taste of his blood and her eyes drifted shut. It was velverty and...exquisitely delicious. It tasted better than she ever imagined. When she had tasted blood as a human, it tasted metalic and bitter. His lips moved against her own and Elizabeth gripped his shirt. Elizabeth got caught up in the moment and responded by biting his lower lip, letting yet more blood into her mouth. Rido growled and slammed her into the wall. They broke lip contact and Rido slowly pulled away, blood trickling from his mouth.
"Now quit your whining." Rido said gruffly. Elizabeth wiped the blood from her chin and around her mouth. She smirked and nodded.
"Oh I will and I'm happy. Well, I'm not particularly happy about being turned into a vampire...because I was human a couple of minutes ago...but I can live with it." Elizabeth said. "I thought Japan was a little wierd, but this just takes the biscuit."
"What are you going on about?" Rido asked. Elizabeth looked up at him and shrugged.
"I don't know."
"Then shut up." Rido snapped.
"Oooooh, what's rubbed you up the wrong way?" Elizabeth mocked. Rido glared at her, which sure enough silenced her. However, a smirk still played upon Elizabeth's lips. "So, Lord Rido, I assume you didn't just turn me into your vampire servant for the good if your health...you want something...and you're going to use me as the means to do it, am I right? Well, if it is, can it be after school hours?"
"You're going to that school, correct?"
"Yes, it's called Cross Academy. Why?"
"I want you to go into the Night Class, not the Day Class."
"Why?"
"Well, the Night Class is for vampires, Riji-chan. You must convince that idiot chairman to put you in the Night Class."
"What if he refuses?" Elizabeth asked. Rido turned towards her.
"Then...you'll have to beg."
"I'm not begging."
"You're going into the Night Class whether you like it or not."
"Make me." Elizabeth said, folding her arms, turning her back on him.
"Oh, I don't know...I have my ways." Rido said smoothly. Elizabeth scoffed.
"Even if I did obey you, I don't even have a Night Class uniform. I heard it's different to the Day Class one."
"Oh, Chairman Cross will give you that once you convince him."
"You seem confident...but...what if this doesn't work? Also, you haven't told me why you want me to go into the Night Class."
"I want you to be an assassin."
"An assassin? You cannot be serious? Who do you want me to kill?"
"Kaname Kuran...my little nephew."
"Why would you want to kill your own nephew?"
"Because, I want to take me place as the head of the family. You're the perfect assassin. You're unassuming, no one would suspect you. Steryotypes of the English may cloud everyone's perspective."
"Yeah, I hate that...I used to live in America for about 4 years. A few people from my school always came up to me and did cockney accents. I was like "No, I'm from Liverpool NOT London, get it right, you bitch/bastard". It was terrible...but...I got over it and ignored them." Elizabeth sighed, "But...I don't feel...comfortable with being an assassin...It's just the posh word for murderer isn't it?"
Rido rolled his eyes.
"When you meet the Chairman tomorrow, get him on his own. Talk to him and convince him. I don't want your parents to know. You're still human to them."
"Oh, okay." Elizabeth nodded she turned her head but when she turned it back, Rido was gone. She gasped. "What have I gotten myself into?"
