Chapter 8

Emiko's POV

Little, stupid, annoying, UGH! I hate her so much! I'm so glad I frightened her with my story, HAH! You should've seen her face.

It was nearly getting dark, the sun was starting to set. I don't have any duties so I'm finish for today. I decided to just go back to my dorm. As I did, I smelt blood. It was coming from the second level. Immediately, I rushed into the Sun Dormitory and ran quickly upstairs, following the scent.

"That's enough.. you're taking.. t-to much." A female voice said, she sounded like Yuki.

I slowly walked in front a of door and didn't bother to knock as I entered it. The scent came all the way from the bathroom. I made my way towards it, taking small quiet steps. The bathroom door was a little open.

" I-I said stop.." The female yet again, pleaded for someone to stop.

I peaked through the door, making sure that I'm well hidden. My eyes widened. There lay Yuki and Zero, on the bathroom floor. Him in his unbuttoned blouse and her in this pink singlet. He was drinking from her?! Is my blood not good enough?!

Feeling almost betrayed and shocked, I covered my mouth and backed away. How could he.. So all this time.. I was wasting my blood just so he could drink someone else's?! And more importantly? Yuki's?! Of all people!

I feel like I don't belong here, I feel so utterly annoyed and used. Hah.. I sound so pathetic. My eyes watered and I clutched my skirt tightly, squeezing my eyes shut too. That was when I heard the door open.

"E-Emiko?" Yuki said, standing in the doorway of the bathroom.

I opened my eyes and looked straight at her, fury and pain in my eyes. I noticed Zero had looked up at me and his eyes had widened but I didn't care to glance at him as I was glaring at my so called sister.

She seemed frightened by my glare and reached out towards me, "Emiko, I just-" She spoke up.

I slapped her hand away harshly, "Don't touch me," I started and glared harder at her, "You disgust me."

She gasped and I shadowed my eyes under my bangs, I then backed away from her and turned to run towards the door. "Emiko!" Zero yelled.

I slammed the door open and ran out, tears streaming down my face. I heard Zero repeatedly call after me but I didn't stop. I don't want to hear his explanation.. I just want to be alone for a while.

I ran out the dorms, accidentally jostling Hanabusa and ran past Akatsuki. I ran as if my life depended on it. I want to get away. I want to disappear. I want to die.

After a few hours of running, I stopped at a certain tree and leaned tiredly against it. My eyes were still covered and after catching my breath, I stayed completely quiet. My brain was processing the events that just happened and my eyes watered again.

For sure I'll get puffy red eyes after this. I hummed a tune that soon came out as words from my mouth:

[Hanging Tree - James Newton] (A/N: Sorreh, I just love Hunger Games. I do not own the video.)

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say murdered three.
Strange things have happened here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things have happened here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree."

I sung this sadly, sniffling. My chest hurt so much. Slowly, I sat down with my back still against the tree and closed my eyes. A tear fell down onto my cheeks.

"If we met at midnight in the Hanging Tree." Was the last thing I whispered before blacking out.

See you next time!
