Crimson Sapphire

Blood Lust

The wind woke me up. I opened my eyes hoping nobody's watching me. I was relieved when I see no one. I climbed down the bed. I walked towards the bathroom and fixed myself. It's good no one's showing up this morning. I walked out the terrace feeling the warmth of the sun. I miss the sun as its sunlight touch my skin. The azure sky makes my day calming and wonderful. No one's at sight , only the clean grassy ground surrounding the big mansion where I'm in. Spotting the dark forest I came from makes me realized what should I be doing this time, what should have been doing.

I headed downstairs to see anyone but I found no one. Where are they? Everything's quiet. There's no changes. It's still a little dark but thanks to the sunlight stroking the transparent roof I can see clearly everything. Everything, including the mysterious paintings hanged on the walls. It's all old, obviously because of the stuffs around here is old as well. The staircase creaks whenever I step but It's still strong.

 "Maxin? Laxus ? Vexin? Lavix?" I asked but no one answered. Where'd they go this early ? And.... 

 It's my chance! I have to go! I run towards the main door and opened it. Good thing it's not lock. I quickly run towards the gate not looking back. As I passed through the huge gate. I looked around to see if there's a way for me to escape. I need to help Jules and the others. They need me. I can't ask for help to Maxin after knowing how weird they are. But I searched nothing. 

There's only one way to get out here. The road. But I can't risk taking the road. They might see me. I rushed towards the dark forest. I don't have knowledge about directions but there's always a first for everything. I stopped running when I'm sure far from the mansion. I sat down under the old big tree to rest. My leg hurts even more. 

 The forest is darker inside. Maybe I run too fast. But it's worth it. All I need to think about is how to get out of this dark forest to the other side. I felt someone's watching me. Like the trees... The trees are so big. No wonder the leaves are huge as well. It's my first seeing this kind of big trees though. All I can hear is the birds chirping. I looked around to secure myself but I think everything's fine. I can't be easily seen with this tall big trees around me. 

 When I caught up my breath I started walking to search for a way. Great! I'm stuck here! The leaves of the trees are too wide that covers the forest from the sunlight. Good thing I run off morning not night. It only means I should get out of here before it gets more darker. I hope there's no wild animals here. And here it is. Standing in front of me is the most biggest tree I think. 

I think it's time to give myself a break. I was resting when a loud scream of a dog reigned all over the forest and vanished. It gave me goosebumps. Something's wrong! I have to get out of here sooner or for an instant. But before I could start running I heard a rustle of leaves near me that ruined the tranquil atmosphere. It's here! My fear started to fire up inside me. I picked up the wood beside me and aim it in front the air. 

Turning around slowly, I waited for it to attack holding the wood tightly because of fear. My hand is trembling I know but I have to be brave. I need to survive. I have to talk with my biological parents. I have to ask them why did they left me. I need an answer for everything. I need to know everything about the cross-like dagger Sona gave me. 

 "Show yourself! I'm not scared to you!" I shouted. 

 "I told you I'm faster than you," Laxus suddenly appeared behind me and grab the wood from me then threw it away.The wood almost reached the house for sure! Unbelievable ! He's too strong! 

 "What do you want?!" I said stepping backward from him. 

 "What I wanted," he said smiling and walk towards me. I turned around and was about to run when he suddenly appeared in front that leaves me bumping into him. 

 "I can be more faster Tyro," he said and walked towards me again. His smile is what scares me the most the familiar devil eyes he's showing me. I walked backward faster than awhile ago. 

 "W-Who are you exactly?!" I asked trying to be tougher. 

 "You should be using WHAT, Tyro" he said and in a blink of an eye I'm laying on the wet soft ground with him on top of me. 

 "Let go!" I shouted and tried to push him but he suddenly got a grip of my wrist and leaned it on the ground. I wriggled but nothing happened. I can feel my back getting wet. The ground is making my back cold. 

 "Y-You're not human, are you?!" I asked. 

 "So what if I'm not? What will you do? Kill me? You can't, Tyro" he said still keeping a playful smile on his face. I can feel my tears flowing. I'm scared...God... help me... 

 "Don't call me Tyro! I have my name! It's Krizel! You can't take me, I swear !" 

 "I can call you names whatever I want! I'll show you how stupid you are running to us!" he said and lowered his face on me. He smiled like an excited kid. It's the moment I saw his fangs! He's a vampire! 

"Don't tell me you still didn't get it earlier?! What you heard about vampires are only made from simple plain stupid minded humans like you!" he said and tighten the grip. 

"I said let go!" I shouted. He ignored what I said. He lowered his face more and reached for my neck. 

"Day isn't a problem for us Tyro. You know nothing about us." he said and I felt his fangs near my neck. He's licking my neck. He's so cold ! 

 "We don't kill humans. We're just satisfying our needs," he said and in a split of seconds I felt his fangs savoring my neck. I felt my blood flowing from his bite.

"Ugh!" I can't stop moaning out of pain. It feels like my neck is separating from my body. I closed my fist fighting the pain. His heaviness is regulating my breath, it's suffocating me. I can feel the fatigue flowing all over my body. My breath get heavy as he suck my blood.

 "Quiet" he said and I felt him sucking my blood again. 

I gasped as he suck my blood because of pain. His cold thin lips touching my neck makes the pain more worse.

 "S-stop..." I tried to talk but the pain is affecting my strength. He ignored me again. The more he sucks my blood the more pain I got and the more I get weak. 

 "L-Laxus..." Still he keeps on ignoring me. I can't take the pain anymore. My hands surrendered to fight against him. When he realized I'm lacking strength, that my hands get weak, he let go of me. 

"You can't defy me" he said and next I felt his fangs on my neck again. 

 "Please.. Stop ..." But still he continued sucking my blood. God...I heard chirps around the forest like joining this moment with him. The pain is starting to reign inside me. The pain is starting to gain my consciousness. I felt his arms circled around me and lifted my upper body to get near him still sucking my blood. I can't stop moaning because of the pain. 

 "I didn't expect I underestimated you Laxus" It's Maxin's voice. 

I saw Maxin beside the large tree with a blood flowing from his mouth, his right hand leaning on the tree. But after knowing the truth I'm sure it's not his but the dog I heard a while ago. 

  Everything went black.
