Chapter 2 - Nightmares Are Real
Even Kiryuu, the ever teasing douchebag, was starting to worry about my blank stares.
In the beginning, my awareness randomly dropping off in class looked no different then when I daydreamed, then it started happening everywhere.
I could be walking down a hallway or just sitting in class, then he would elbow me or wave a hand in front of my face, and I would go from staring blankly at my exercise book, or at a wall, or out the window, to see the frowning guy sitting or standing next to me.
Not that he'd admit it.
Oooo~ I should so tease him about it next time he does it! At the very least, his annoyed reaction will get my mind off my whole 'slowly going mental' thing.
Yeah... also, how does he always know when I zone out? He just shows up out of bloody nowhere - it's starting to creep me out.
"Maya-chan?"
"Hm?" I mumbled, reluctantly looking up from a book we were reading for English class (it was surprisingly pretty good) to pay attention to the girl I now called a friend.
"Aren't you supposed to be seeing the nurse soon?" Yori commented, before turning back to her food.
I looked at my watch- really?! It's that late already?!
"Shit" I hissed, ignoring Yuuki's scolding look "I gotta go now, or I'll be late!" cue another scolding look from Yuuki for not finishing my dinner.
Five minutes later, I was standing outside the nurse's office, fixing my uniform and trying to catch my breath at the same time.
Whoa. I am glad I've been working out. Otherwise I never would've made it over here so fast.
Having heard the ruckess, the nurse let me in.
I sat on the bed provided, removed my black blazer, red ribbon, and unbuttoned the top few buttons of my white shirt to expose down to my collar bone.
"So, Katsumi-san, how's it looking?" I asked.
"Well, the skin's knitted itself back together nicely" the raven haired woman commented, prodding at one of the jagged scars with a gloved finger "so it looks like I'll be able to remove the rest of your stitches today - just remember to keep the strenuous exercise to a minimum, okay? The skin's still healing and if you push it, it'll tear again and take even 'longer to heal"
I rolled my eyes. She reminded me of this every time I visited her on these bi-weekly mandatory visits - visits made mandatory by the Chairman. I still don't understand why they didn't send me to a hospital. Or home to my family for that matter - while I couldn't remember them, I knew they existed.
As the nurse began removing the last of the stitches, she asked the obligatory questions about my 'mental health'. To which I replied with the same thing I'd been saying for the last month since it started.
"It's still just the flashes" I told her, wincing as she pulled a stitch out "bits and pieces of conversations - nothing really coherent. Nothing I can put together, nothing that really 'means anything"
Of course I didn't tell her the whole truth.
How the hell do you tell someone that instead of just reliving an 'incident' where you got your shoulder ripped open, you're having nightmares about freaking vampires?
Yeah. You have that conversation seriously with someone.
I mean for fuck's sake, I know I'm crazy, I don't need other people tell-
'We're all crazy. Most of us just know how to act appropriately in public!'
"... Maya-chan?"
Shit, I must've zoned out again. That voice was new, though. Who was that? She seemed familiar...
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, just zoned out for a bit. I'm kinda tired" I replied, smiling sheepishly.
"Still not sleeping properly?"
"Not since I woke up..." I mumbled to myself as the woman turned to retrieve a folder from her desk and began writing in it.
"Well, I can't help you with that if you refuse to take the medication I prescribe to help you sleep"
"I didn't want to be on any drugs to begin with..." I continued mumbling.
"Alright" Katsumi sighed "you're good to go"
"Thanks, Katsumi-san" I sighed, buttoning up my shirt, pulling my blazer on and just stuffing the red ribbon in my pocket. No point in putting it back on, when I just going to take it off again when I get back to my dorm room.
By the time I made it back to the Sun Dorms, the sun had long since set and I'd already been caught out after curfew by Yuuki. Not that I was really trying to be stealthy or anything.
When I noticed two Day Class girls sneaking out of the dorm on my way up the first flight of stairs, I almost threw my head back and groaned.
I just want to freaking sleep.
Those girls were my neighbours, Maki and Aoi. They were nice enough, but they were absolutely freaking obsessed with the Night Class - unlike me, who, as I far as I knew, had never actually seen them.
Sighing, I left the Sun Dorms to try and convince them against their foolhardy adventure - to just see them disappearing into the forest across from the Dorm's entrance way.
I glanced back at the comfort and relative safety of the Sun Dorms... and then back to the forest that led to the main campus buildings where the classrooms were.
... am I really going to do this?
Shit. I guess I am.
Conscience - apparently - tugging at me, I ran into the forest after the two girls, hoping to catch up with them before a prefect found them.
The scene I came across was not what I expected.
Yuuki was standing in front of Maki and Aoi holding some kind of metal staff, as if she was defending them against the two Night Class students... Kain and Aidou, I think...?
A spark of electricity suddenly jumped between the staff and the orange-haired Kain's hand, lightly scorching the skin.
What... the hell.
"We smelled some blood, so we just came to see what had happened"
Blood...?
They smelled blood...?
"Really... we just wanted to come have look" the blonde Aidou's blue eyes glowed red.
At the change, my limbs froze. I couldn't move.
What the hell is going on...?
"Ah~ it smells so good" he breathed.
"Aidou-senpai" Yuuki began "if you lay a single finger on them, I'll..."
"Did you fall?" Aidou asked, ignoring her as he moved closer. More sparks of electricity danced between the staff and his hands as he touched it, though it didn't seem to bother him.
"The good smell I was talking about..." he purred, grasping her hand and raising it to show her grazed palm "... is your own blood, Yuuki-chan"
"You're really... tempting me"
Fangs. Blood.
He's a vampire.
A fucking vampire.
They're fucking real.
Yuuki's staff clattering to the ground must've snapped me out of whatever trance I was in, because suddenly I was running.
But not away, no, of freaking course not! I was running towards them.
Kain turned at the sound of me running across the grass, but I had already snatched up the staff and slammed it into Aidou's side, causing him to stumble back holding his abdomen.
Eyes wide and breathing heavy from the sprint, I held the staff pointed at them offensively.
"Take one more step towards her" I growled "and it'll be your face I smash in next"
"Ma- Maya-chan?!" Yuuki exclaimed from behind me.
I... can't believe I just fucking did that.
What the fuck.
Aidou growled, fangs still out. He looked about ready to tear me to shreds.
Um, now that I think about it, probably not a good idea to threaten the guy's face... he seems to really love it...
Then Kiryuu showed up.
"Drinking blood within school grounds is strictly prohibited" the silver-haired bastard began, holding a fucking gun pointed at the blonde vampire.
"Getting drunk at the scent of blood and showing your true self, vampire" he spat. As if it was a typical thing.
What... the fuck is going on at this school?! They have fucking regulations for this?!
"Zero, don't!" Yuuki protested.
"But it was just a taste" Aidou pouted.
A familiar gunshot filled the air, a purple light in the form of a cross appearing on a tree above Kain's head.
I... seriously need to fucking sit down.
Oh. No. Never mind. Apparently I just collapsed to my knees.
Also. I may have just fainted.
Fuck this school.
