Chapter 12
Zero suddenly wakes up to the taste of blood in his mouth and saw a young dress like a maid holding a small bowl filled with blood. He saw how beautiful she was. She had long straight raven hair pulled back in a low ponytail by a blue ribbon that matches her uniform. Her eyes were different from other people. She had one blue eye while the other was green. Suddenly her eyes turn red and he realizes that she was a vampire. Zero quickly slaps the bowl out of her hand and the blood spilled all over her. She quickly said that she was sorry for waking him up. Zero tried to reach his blood rose but it was gone.
He grabs her by the throat and demanded for her to give him his gun back. "I don't have it. I can't even wield a vampire hunter weapon." The maid said as Zero applied pressure to her wind pipe. "Where is my gun you fucking vampire?" Zero ask as he screams at her. "Lord Kaname has it." the maid told Zero. He finally let go of the maid throat but only to have one hand around her back and one hand forcing one of her arms high above her back. He made her took him to Kaname. She lead him thru the house to end up at Kaname study. On the way to Kaname study some of the night class saw Zero mistreating one of maids so they followed him. Aido was one of them and demanded to let the maid go or else. Right before they attack Zero Kaname opens the doors to his study. Kaname let Zero in while still holding the maid and closes the door.
"Give me back my gun pure blood." Zero yelled at Kaname. "Zero all you had to do was ask instead of mistreating Lily. No one is keeping you away from your bloody rose. Yori gave it to me and ask if I could give it back to you once you feel better." Kaname said as he went to his desk. He pulls out the gun and laid it on the desk. Zero tosses Lily aside and grabs his gun. Next thing both Zero and Kaname knew that Lily was bleeding very badly from the face. Kaname quickly went to Lily side and saw that she had a large deep wound that went over her left eye. "Is this want you wanted Zero? You will never change will you Zero?" Kaname said as he lifts Lily into his arms and walks out the door.
Kaname told Aido and Yori to show Zero back to his room as he takes care of Lily. "Yuki ask Kaname to have a room to yourself and not so close to the others so you don't feel to threaten while living here." Yori said as she stands up against the wall in Zero room. "Zero Yuki must not know about what just happen. I know that you mean no harm on Lily. You need to get along with those who lives here or you will end up dead and Yuki will be sad." Aido said as Yori stood close to him. "Just leave." Zero said as he lay down on his bed.
Later that night Lily came back to Zero room with a tray full of food and water. There were even a few blood tablets on the tray. Zero looks over at her and saw that her face was covered in bandage but only on the left side. He felt really bad because he never meant to cause any harm on her. "Why did you come back here after what happened?" Zero said as he sat up. "Lord Kaname asks me to become your servant as you stay here." Lily said as she places the tray on a low table. "If there is anything that you need please let me know I would be very happy to serve you." Lily said as she bows and stood at the door.
"Why are you still here?" Zero said as he puts his feet on the floor. "You haven't send me away until you do I am to stand here." Lily said as she kept her eyes to the floor. "Let me guess Kaname Kuran ask you to spy on me." Zero said as he looks at her. "Lord Kaname only asks me to become your servant as you live in the house that is all. I had to learn the ways of a vampire servant if I wanted to come here." Lily replied to Zero. "Why work for someone like him? Is it because he is a pure blood vampire?" Zero asks as he took off his coat. "Lord Kaname saved my life after a raid on one of the nobles who couldn't control his thirst. In order to save my life Lord Kaname turns me into a vampire. I nearly died that night when he turns me from blood lose. I never knew that Lord Kaname was a pure blood until I healed completely weeks later. I owe him my life so in return I will follow and do as he says." Lily told Zero who now stood up.
Zero looks at the food and saw the blood tablets. He picks them up and threw them on the floor and stomps on them into dust. "Never bring me those again. I can't keep them down." Zero said as he walks towards Lily. "As you wish." Lily responded. "Look at me." Zero said as he slam his hands on the wall. Lily still haven't look at him even though he was very close to her. "I SAID LOOK AT ME!" Zero demanded Lily. Lily flinches when Zero yelled at her. She was so scared that Zero would hit her so she looks up at Zero and stared into his eyes and saw that his eyes were red. He held Lily very close and bite into her neck very hard and deep. A few seconds later he pushes her away as blood drips from his mouth.
Zero looks at Lily as she just stood there. "Why let me drink your blood?" Zero asks as he lifts her head up. Lily just stares at Zero and she finally answers him. "Vampires find my blood very tasty from what I have been told. I was told to keep still or it will hurt more." Lily told Zero. "Draw me a bath." Zero said so she could leave. Lily opens one of the doors and left it open as she draws him a bath. Zero didn't realize that he had his own bathroom in his room. As she was drawing him a bath Zero went over and smelled the food. Nothing smelled weird or out of place so he started eating the food. Zero couldn't believe how good it tasted and wonder who cook the food.
Lily can back with wet hands and told Zero that his bath is ready. Zero started taking off his clothes but stops. "How old are you?" Zero asks as he tosses his shirt at her feet. "I just turn fourteen a week ago." Lily said as she picks up his shirt. "I laid out some towels and a robe for you when you're done with your bath. Would you like me to leave to give you some privacy or would you like me to help bathe you?" Lily asks Zero. Zero stops and looks at her with a glare. "Is that normal?" Zero asks her. "Yes it is. Before Lord Kaname asks me to serve only you I used to help Senri, Ichijo, and Kain all the time. I always ended washing the males within the house. I don't mind because they never once tried to touch me or ask me to join them and to be naked when washing them." Lily said. "Not this time." Zero said as he walks into the bathroom. "I will come back and with your bag and put away your items if you wish me to." Lily asks Zero. "Fine whatever I don't really care." Zero said as he shuts the door to the bathroom. Zero couldn't believe that this girl is still so nice to him after what he did to her.
Zero almost fell asleep in the tub when Lily came in with a small basket. She never said a word as she picks up his dirty clothes and left. He heard a door close and knew that she left the room once more. He notices the towels and robe on the sink were different. The towels were the same in every room black and red. The robe was black with lilies and roses. He looks at the designs very closely and notices that the designs were stitched in instead being painted on. The stitching was very well done and wonders who did it. He puts on the robe and walk out to see his nightwear laid out on the bed.
A few minutes later Lily came back in with more blankets and pillows. "I didn't ask for them." Zero said as he lies down on his bed. "I shall take these away then." Lily said as she started to leave. Zero snatches the blankets and pillows away from her and tosses them on the bed. He pins Lily on the wall and started licking her neck. Next thing Lily knew she was thrown on the floor. "Leave me alone now." Zero said as he points his gun at her. "As you wish." Lily said as she stood up and left. Zero fell on the bed his body still aches from the last fight he had and closes his eyes.
