CHAPTER 18

(STAZ'S P.O.V)

There are a few moments in my life that I've been afraid. Like the time my brother Braz was attacked by the past demon king, or when my little sister Liz told me that I didn't love her. Seeing Yui drop to her knees in pain was one of those times.

Zero and I sprinted towards her unconscious body, only to slam into an invisible force field. "Let her go!," I roared against the force field. "You'll never have her Staz," Karl Heinz stated condescendingly. "She belongs to Ayato now and forever."

Never have I ever felt so helpless. I pushed more of my magic against the force field, but it didn't seem to do any good. As I glared daggers at Karl Heinz, I noticed Yui suddenly got to her feet in an instant. She was facing Zero and I with blood shed eyes…

Without warning I screamed in rage, making my magic flare up so much, Zero was knocked off his feet, and sucked into the night's air. My magic was so powerful that it shattered the force field. Seeing Yui turned into a vampire was my breaking point.

I couldn't protect her…

The very thing she didn't want to become she now was…

And I was to blame for letting it happen…

With that thought I rushed towards Karl Heinz.

I didn't care he was in the underworld cage, which is known to be indestructible.

(Not even Karl Heinz could get out easily).

The only thing I knew was that I was going to kill him. As my magic energy swirled around me, I aimed a punch at the underworld cage. At that exact moment the cage disappeared at the nick of time, leaving behind Karl Heinz's mocking laughter.

I roared in pure rage causing the entire area to shake.

This wasn't over…

Not by a long shot…

I turned back to see Yui just standing there staring at me blankly. I powered down instantly in sadness. Gone was the vivid girl I knew, which was replaced with a pale lifeless Yui.

I wondered as I approached her, if she knew what had happened to her.

"Don't come near me," she said hoarsely retreating at my approaching footsteps. "Yui I'm sorry," I whispered as I stretched forth my hand to touch her face. She turned to run, I quickly used my arms, and gripped her under her armpits.

She screamed, and growled as she struggled.

I was tempted to let her go…

"You know i can't live like this!," she screamed in agony.

"Let me end my life!."

I could hear the pain in her voice, as she wept endlessly.

"I can't let you do that," I barely said, as I struggled to hold her.

"You're not a monster Yui. Karl Heinz is." I said calmly trying to reason with her.

Her struggling instantly stopped, as she dropped to the ground still crying.

I went down with her, as I combed through her hair with my fingers, in an attempt to comfort her. "The transformation isn't permanent. At least not during the day." Zero spoke up kneeling down to us. "What's going to happen tomorrow?," she said with her head buried in her lap.

"Every full moon you'll turn." Before I could react, Zero shot up in a standing position growling. I was about to ask what made him on guard, till I caught whiff of a familiar scent.

FUCK…

HE SHOULDN'T BE HERE…

How the fuck did he find us?!.

We didn't see him ,because he was still a good distance away, but it was no mistaking that it was him…

Somehow Kanato had found us.
