Chapter Thirty One: Little Facts
Black's POV
"Lizzo... It's not my fault that you didn't ask me about what special features FrostBittens had", I sighed, walking with my five second younger sister towards school with White, Melody and... Phase. A spirit born from the egg I was given who follows me around endlessly like a never ending echo. I didn't mind her one bit. It's like a few movies I've watched many nights ago with Mindy... Haha, those memories never die! Nostalgia at its finest!
"I know but I just hate how you and the rest of your friends know all these stuff about FrostBittens, Crimsons, Novas and even the unexplainable", Lizzo complained like the child she was as a car passed by to our right, honking at a few fellow students 'ahem' by the name of Star and Sapphire who crossed the road on green lights.
"Star's always getting into trouble. How the hell does Jace even stand her?", I chuckled, scratching the back of my head with my right hand as Phase hovered over my right shoulder. She wasn't the type of spirit that you'd see in regular everyday horror films or documentaries. She resembled a complete human and is NOT transparent in any way. Basically, she was just like me, only could everyone see me with their bare eyes. Unfortunately for her, I'm the only one who can see and hear her. Literally.
What makes her even more strange, is that she can interact with the physical world with will and can go through physical objects as well as possessing people. It's hard to take in but after her whole story she told me last night, I almost know everything I need to know about her... And how she can shape-shift into anything she wants to as long as it's a living thing.
Man... Today's going to be such a hard day. I haven't even had my match with White yet!... Actually, I might want to reconsider that after what I witnessed her do yesterday. I promised to keep it a secret and Sino also decided to do the same as over a good ninety percent of the people who live in our house are afraid of blood sucking monsters. Just knowing that they live under the same roof with a vampire is more than enough to make them jump out of their skin!
"Melody... Can I please see your study notes?", Lizzo asked Melody in a desperate, innocent tone of voice that had a hint of sadness.
"Then you'll have to fork your twin sister over to me", She replied in a serious voice, causing me to sigh as I stared straight ahead at the partially empty walkway. The street to our right was filled with many vehicles, all taking the tunnel route to get to the other side of the massive lake.
"Deal!", Lizzo exclaimed happily.
"Speak for yourself", I whispered to no one in particular, speeding my walk towards the upcoming traffic light as Phase followed me over my right shoulder, hovering as if she was swimming. "Can I ask a few questions, Phase?", I asked her.
"Mhm! Anything!", she said cheerfully. I smiled slightly, blinking once as I took in a deep breath of air before exhaling half of it out.
"For starters, can you explain to me how you were born from an egg?".
"Well... Let's say that I was trapped and forced inside of it".
"I won't ask how or why... Also... When you mentioned that you can turn into almost anything you want, what does it include?".
"Living things. For example I turn into a tiger. I'll have every single innards and outards of it, including the sexual organs"... She didn't have to mention that... "But don't worry Black! I won't ever do anything bad to you unless it's for your own good!"...
"Thanks, I appreciate it a lot", I thanked her, knowing that she'll be a big help in the future as I had a very strange question in mind to ask her... "What's your favourite form?", I hesitantly asked.
"Um... It's my slime and plant forms!", She replied in a joyful, enthusiastic manner that caused me to smile warmly as I stopped in my tracks, looking beyond the traffic light at the other side where Ruby, Cream, Candy, Shine and Glow walked amongst a large group of people.
"That's cool, being able to transform into things like that. I was once a spirit too", I whispered with a smile, pressing the silver button attached to the traffic light that stood slightly to my left, towering over me like a tree.
"Really?!", She exclaimed as the others caught up to me, standing by my sides as they held a conversation about 'FrostBittens'.
"Some of them even have cat-like ears", White said to Lizzo who exhaled in awe.
"Not some. Most of them. But the guardians have fox-like ears", Melody corrected.
"Yeah, I was once like you", I whispered as quietly as possible, hoping that only Phase could hear me...
"Hmm? Did you say something Black?", Melody asked me. I shot a look at her, smiling vividly as I shook my head left and right for a 'no'. "Then I must be hearing things"... Phew...
"What about Nova's? Don't they have some sort if special abilities and appearances?", Lizzo asked as the beeping of the green pedestrian light commenced, causing me to blink as I turned my head forward and walked onto the road, listening carefully to their conversation.
"They specialize in magic and some have strange animal ears", Melody explained.
"Just like the ones from yesterday, right?!", Lizzo exclaimed, causing my eyes to widen to what she had just said as both me and White's facial expressions entered a state of shock... No one currently knows that it was us.
"The what?", Melody asked curiously as we stepped onto the other pathway, continuing our long walk towards school... A stiff silence cast upon us all like a curse, filling both me and white's heart with guilt and anxiety.
"Yesterday, I think during the afternoon, five people were killed via sniper rounds on the bridge and one survived with slit wrists. According to eye witness accounts, a girl with black hair and a sword came to the scene and was attacked by the girl", Melody shot strange, narrow glances at White and I as Phase hovered directly on front of me, staring into my light red and light blue eyes, knowing very well that the girl with the black hair, was obviously me. "She bit her neck and drank her blood dry. According to the government, both were disposed off", Lizzo explained in great detail to Melody...
"Hmm... Those two sound VERY familiar...", She whispered.
"If you're thinking that it's Frost and White, think again", Lizzo immediately said, making Melody him in confusion as she turned her head to the right, staring into Lizzo's face. "Firstly, both were killed by special forces, secondly, they were identified as Non-human, and finally, the girl with the white hair was a vampire and the girl with the black hair was a genuine FrostBitten... Well, according to what I've heard"...
"Hmm... Is that so?", Melody sighed, slowly turning her head around, glaring at both me and White with her dangerous, light green eyes. "I guess I can believe that". Phew! "But I can't believe that Black wasn't at the scene of the crime"... Eh? "Black hair, a girl, getting pounced by A girl, a bloody FrostBitten and finally, a sword. Tell me Black, did you honestly think that I wouldn't be able to realise?"...
"It can't be Frost! She's a human to begin with and if she was bitten by a vampire, then where are her wounds on the neck? Also, they stated that the two girls were KILLED", Lizzo responded back, making Melody narrow her eyes at me, gritting her teeth gently as a small smile crept up her face.
"let's say that both of the people involved survived and the government are hiding their existence, what do you think would happen after that?", White asked Lizzo in a curious, very serious tone of voice that caused me to gulp a mouthful of saliva before began to breath heavily to anxiety...
"A lot of things. Myths, legends and folklore are a breeze to me. It's just those three races that I can't even begin to understand", She stated as a few men walked passed us from the left. "For starters, the vampire has already bitten the girl, meaning that it'll stay by her side for as long as time goes. The two will never age and the girl's blood supply with increase a tenfold"... That's not good... "Usually, when a vampire sucks blood from it's first victim, it's almost always means that they love that individual"... My face burnt a bright red... "You can tell if the eyes and behaviour of the vampire changes dramatically into a demonic-like state". Argh! My nose is going to bleed if I hear anymore! "Because of this however, I'm sure that people are hunting for them. And sometimes it's not only people. Animals can too also strike them down".
"Hmm. Now that you explained it like that, I don't think Black was there after all", Melody sighed, allowing me to sigh in relief with a burning face of embarrassment to the harsh reality of what happened only yesterday.
"Hehe. Guilt is written all over your face, Black", Phase chuckled intimidatingly, making me blink as I took in a deep breath of the cool, chilly morning air, hearing the endless roaring engines of the passing vehicles.
"Anywho, the others are dearly afraid of blood-sucking things. And a vampire is no exception. In fact, everyone's afraid of them! Even you, White!", Melody stated, sounding like she was back to her cheerful self... Thank goodness for that...
"Oh crap! Five minutes left?! Let's go!", Lizzo exclaimed, suddenly realising the time on her phone as a jolt of electricity invaded my entire body like a sharp pain, branching off into my limbs like the roots of a tree... Hopefully, I'll be able to fight White today... Oh wait... We don't have sport classes today... Dammit!
"Song for Reluctant Heroes, oh give me your strength, out life is so sho-ort. Don't fall, Reluctant Heroes, I want to be bra-ave like you", I hummed to myself as I stared out the window to my left at the field where Star, Vortex, 'Sino', Plantina, Flicker, Shine and Glow ran on the outer tracks... It
reminded me of my troubles to both Star and Melody somehow... I sighed, blinking as I focused on my reflection via the crystal clear window, hearing the tapping of pens against he wooden tables... Damn Melody, I can't even remember her REAL name! Melody is just her nickname that everyone uses to call her so that no one can suspect that she's the Maiden of Realms... Realm... Oh that's right! Her name is Realm! Dammit... I'm getting flashbacks of me and her having a fight, resulting in us all plunging down into the depths of my insane hell of my creation. Do the others know her real name?... Hmm! Why am I getting so worked up because of her stupid name?! Argh!
"Black, eat a snickers", Melody whispered to me from my right, causing me to slowly turn around, looking half pissed as I blankly blinked with narrowed eyes, staring into her light green ones before she chuckled to herself. I took in a deep breath of air, blinking once again as I lay both my hands flat on he cold, hard surface of the brown wooden desk, ready to say something.
"Why?", I asked in a both curious and threatening manner that sounded as if I wanted to murder her on the spot.
"Because you're not you when you're hungry", She giggled... I smiled, holding back my sudden urge to laugh as my upper body recoiled and shook to my contained laughter... Haha! "Better?".
"B...better", I chuckled, taking in a quick breath of the cool air of this classroom before looking to the front, staring at Shard who wrote dot points about the 'classes' in the FrostBitten race... That reminds me. Just what role do the others play in the FrostBitten system? I've never thought about it until now, and it's starting to bug me like an itch... For one, I know very well that Lizzo is a FrostBitten, and her role is a 'Royal' for obvious reasons. But... What's her strength?... Time will tell... Eventually...
"Do spirits ever sleep?", I asked Phase as we walked through the quiet, empty streets of the young night, walking under glowing streetlights that made me stand of very easily. The road was to the left of us, bare of anything but rubble and black skid marks that resembled tattoos. On our right, were the buildings of the city, all closed with signs and caged barricades to keep people out for good.
"You said you were one, right?", She said rhetorically, making me blink as I smiled warmly, feeling her hands wrap around my right hand as we continued to walk in the forbidding darkness that took pleasure in walking in.
"Sorry", I apologised with an innocent tone of voice, staring deeply ahead of me... Dead ahead, I saw two, dark red glowing balls of light that resembled eyes slowly walking forward towards me... I grit my teeth, clamping my fists tightly shut into balls of hurt as I slowed my pace, feeling anxiety take the lead of me.
"Something's up ahead", Phase whispered, causing me to blink before suddenly, a distinct sound of the wind being cut caused my eyes to widen a tenfold, instantly forcing me to spin to my left, snatching my right hand back from Phase as she gasped in shock. I dug my right straight though the waistline of my miniskirt, grasping tightly onto the handle of my jet black, Night's Melody in the form of a pistol.
As fast as I could, I tugged it out with all my might, completing my turn as a stray bullet passed my right ear, causing me to clench my teeth twice as hard. I extended my right arm out, holding it towards the now visible figure that fired the bullet. My stance was wide and slightly tilted. My eyes were locked onto the approaching figure like chains.
"Who are you?! Why'd you shoot?!", I demanded an answer, gently pressing on the black, carbon fibre textured trigger down with my right index finger. My heart rate increased a tenfold, my blood boiled like piping Therian water and my mind became shrouded with anxiety and fear, wondering when the next shot would be fired straight for my skull...
"Perfect reaction. As expected from you", The figure said with a feminine tone of voice that had a slight hint of evil within it, sending a bad vibe down my spine as the figure slowly came to the light post I stood under. The tip of a white, shiny pistol was the first thing I saw before an entire arm followed with the whole body emerging in a liquefied manner, causing my eyes to widen a tenfold the moment I had a glance at it's face... White?!
"White? What are you up to?", I quickly asked in an instant, keeping my composure as my pupils contracted into tiny pin dots to focus on her. My left eye captured her obvious movements whilst my right caught attention of her breathing patterns, heart rate from her exposed palms and neck as well as her body temperature via a light red glow that emitted from sighing her body... Hmph... I guess this is what my right eye can do when I'm in a tight situation... "And why'd you try to shoot me?".
She smiled, lowering her gun down to her thighs as she walked closer to me, blinking twice before she stared at something behind me. I blankly blinked, feeling Phase tug on my left hand, causing me to turn around very slowly, facing the ground to see a letter, stained in the deepest shade of blood... When was that there?
Phase let go of my hand right before I bent my knees very slightly in a careful attempt to pick it up and search it's contents. Suddenly, from out of the blue, a rhythm of footsteps smashing against the concrete ground sprinted up from behind me, causing my eyes to widen before two arms wrapped themselves around my body as a furry white tail wrapped my right thigh excruciatingly tightly. I gasped, blushing a hard red as White's warm breath beat against my right cheek, making me squirm in a desperate struggle to get free...
"W...hite... D...on't... Bi...te me", I stuttered under the sheer amount of fear injected into my very mind and bloodstream, anxiously waiting for her to make her next move as I could not stand her holding me in such an absurd way... Her right hand cupped my left breast... Argh!
"Sorry Black. I have no other choice. This whole day I've been yearning for your blood and for you to come home with a bright smile across your pretty face... So please... Let me", She whispered into my ear as I trembled. My knees gave in, causing up both to fall down to our knees as she continued to hold me, slowly squeezing it here and there which caused me to moan thought my clamped jaws that resembled an unarmed bear trap. "I promise you a swift night... And tomorrow, a fulfilled day... Please, don't hate me"...
She licked the right side of my neck with her tender, slimy tongue, coating it with her warm saliva that chilled my senses the moment a small gust of wind blew across the city. Phase stared at me in shock and fear, unable to comprehend the current situation... In her deep, light blue eyes, I could easily tell that she felt sorry for me. Haha... Argh... I shut my eyes tightly, trembling as I felt her sharp fangs touch the tender flesh of my neck right where she licked, then, she placed her soft lips around it and kissed my neck, squeezing my left breast even more tightly though my black shirt which caused me to moan in pleasure and pain mixed into a horrible combination. I didn't want to see anything during this time. Nor did I want to feel the inner urges of my body go out of control due to what she's doing to me... The special place in between my thighs began to heat up, tingling like it yearned for something... No!... This is my first time feeling like this! How can I get aroused to something like this!
"Phase... Don't worry about me", I whispered, not wanting her to feel bad for not helping me out.
"But-".
"Ah!", I yelped in a meek tone of voice, jolting up in pain as two sharp fangs deeply penetrated my flesh like a hot knife brought butter. Blood spilt out of the wound, soaking my neck as White slurped it up like soup, enjoying it with all her heart as I sat there miserably in agony to her doings... She can't help it... I understand that. And I'll forgive her for that...
Three minutes, light headed. Five minutes, headache. Ten minutes, nausea. Fifteen minutes, fatigue. Twenty five minutes, drowsiness... Thirty minutes, it was all over... I blacked out due to major blood loss...
Phase's POV
That was horrible. Especially for someone like Black... She's so innocent and pure to deserve all of this, yet whenever I tell her that she deserves better, she tells me 'don't worry' and 'I do'... Tonight, I insisted that I should hug her while she sleeps for a good night's rest and it seems to be working. She really appreciates me being around... She said she feels safer wherever she goes because of me being right by her side all the time... Not like my previous owner... She's just use me for all her dirty work while she took leisure. She kept using my powers for her evil deeds.
I increased my tightness around Black's delicate body as I grit my teeth in anger to the cold, harsh memories of the past. That bitch... She kept on using me and using me like a fucking toy! And for what? From getting revenge on her friends that broke up with her all the way to forging her a legendary grade weapon that she used to terrorise villages... Their screams will never leave me... After all, it's my fault for giving that good for nothing woman my strength! In the end, I had enough of it all and killed her in the most gruesome way imaginable...
I tightened my warm, blazing embrace around Black a tenfold, causing her to moan in discomfort whilst I grit my teeth and watched how I killed the woman in my mind... An unforgettable memory. I pushed her off a two story house, snapped bother her legs before butchering them both clean off with a meat cleaver that she used to use to threaten me whenever I didn't get the job done in time. Next, I pulled off every strand of her hair from her head before I finally dumped her screaming corpse
into a tree shredder... I still remember how much blood and bones spewed out of that thing... Haha... The next day, I took my own life with the tip of a dagger, slicing off my right eye... And from what I've heard while being around Black, she too had her right eye taken away but had it replaced with a better one...
"Why shouldn't I?", Black suddenly said in her sleep, causing my eyes to shoot open as wide as day as I loosens my grip from around her, blinking once as I stared at her adorable face that eased my heart to the most it could bare. Sleep talking... She must be having a crazy dream. "I don't care if I die", She stated, trembling slightly... This caught me by surprise... A really great surprise... I would have never thought that she'd say something like that. I imagined her being the type who loves their life more than anything... But if she doesn't care of death, then what's stopping her? "Because I can't die... Not now, not ever. So I have to protect those I love with the best of my abilities no matter who they are"... Haha. She's in some world right now!... I would hate to disconnect from her... She's a really kind hearted person... And is really weak when it comes to sexual activity... "Goodnight, sweet dreams", She yawned cutely...
"Goodnight", I replied playfully. I just wanna hug the life outta her!
