CHAPTER 15

(YUI'S P.O.V)

"So this is it." I mumbled to myself staring in awe, at the golden pillars that stood on either side of elite sanctuary (vampire graveyard.) The three of us had come up with a plan. We would get in steal the spell (A drop of blood), and get out. Staring at Zero now, who had a worried look on his face, I remembered how much convincing it took to convince him to go through with this.

He argued we all could be killed, because since this was the elite sanctuary, and it was rumored to have powerful guards, guarding the place since a lot of secrets were buried with the legendary vampires. All I saw beyond the entrance were expensive black coffins lined off in an orderly fashion on either side. There wasn't a sign of life except for us.

I couldn't understand why Zero was being paranoid. Zero walked forward, as he closed his eyes, and chanted something in a different language. Just then the gates at the entrance opened inwards. "What was that?," I whispered to Staz. "It's a spell. In vampire graveyards like this they leave traps for uninvited visitors." Staz explained. As I stared at Staz, he shifted his gaze away from me uncomfortably.

"Yui I'm sorry." He sighed finally looking back at me. "For what?," I questioned innocently playing dumb. "Me ending our friendship. Look I –" "I get it. You don't need to explain." I interrupted him, as we stepped into the graveyard. "No you don't." Staz insisted. "I ended our friendship, because I thought getting involved with you would do more harm than good."

"Staz I think that ship has sailed." "But now I see otherwise. You're at a sadistic evil vampire's mercy, and I can't take it. When I learnt about your story, and I watched you with Ayato… I realized the only way you could be happy is if you gain your freedom…

I want to be the one to help you gain that…"

"Well isn't that sweet," Zero said with a trace of annoyance. "If you don't mind I need you guys to focus."

(ZERO'S P.O.V)

I knew Yui would wonder why I was being such a dick, but I didn't care. I needed her to focus. I was never on board with this idea. I finally went along with it, because it was our only option. As I approached the last coffin on the left, I had to admit that Yui was clever coming up with this idea.

I didn't like this…

Where were the guards?, usually in an elite sanctuary, you couldn't even get close to the entrance, because of them. Dead leaves swirled around me from the cold wind. "This is it," I finally said to Yui. "So the spell is in there?," she questioned uncomfortably.

"Don't worry the bodies don't decompose. Oh and by the way you're not going to have to take out the spell in the coffin itself, but rather the vampire's mouth." I said casually opening the coffin. "Ok that sounds- WAIT WHAT!" Yui exclaimed in fear. "Did you really think one of the strongest spells would have been easy to steal?. It's not too late to turn back…"

Yui didn't answer. She was too busy freaking out.

"Let me do it," Staz spoke up staring at the dead legendary vampires named Victor. Victor had short grey hair that was brushed back with oily skin. He didn't look peaceful. Eyebrows furrowed, it made him look like he had a frown on his face.

"No," I said turning to Yui. "The one who has to cast the spell has to be the one to pull it out." "Oh that's bullshit!," Yui screamed angrily pushing her hair out of her face in frustration. "You knew!." Yui accused me angrily while pointing a finger at me. "Is this your idea of a joke Zero?!. 'Cause it's not funny!." "I admit I knew about this, but I warned you…

Did you bring the fish hook and fishing string with the disposable gloves? like I asked?." As much as I wanted to help Yui, she was going to have to do this on her own, if she wanted to the spell to work. Grumbling to herself, she took out the fishhook and fishing string from the front of her front knapsack. The fishhooks were already attached to the string, as she slipped on the disposable gloves.

Staz produced a small ball of energy above his hand over Victor's mouth, so she could see down in Victor's mouh. "This is gross!," Yui groaned as the hook disappeared into Victor's mouth. "Do you see it?. It's supposed to be a small piece of paper?." I asked. "How is this possible?,' Yui asked genuinely confused. "Anything's possible when it comes to magic." I informed her. "Now focus. Do you see the small piece of paper."

"Yeah I see it." She answered. "Try to hook it ,and slowly bring it up." "I got it." She responded as she pulled it out. "Amazing," she watched in awe at the small clean piece of paper. She quickly took off its hook, and put it in her bag. "That was close," Staz sighed letting the energy ball disappear dropping his hand to his side. He moved away from the coffin towards me.

"Guess you were freaking out for nothing huh buddy?." Staz joked.

Without warning Yui let out a blood curling scream…

Victor was awake, and he held Yui left arm in a death grip., and by the looks of it he wasn't going to let go anytime soon.
