Well, This Bloody Sucks

Cat & Mouse

"Seriously, what have I done to deserve this?" I sigh to myself as I pick up my bag off of the floor. I start making my way back to the stairs when I hear a voice.

"I love you. Forever and ever and ever."

Well I'm flattered but I DON'T KNOW YOU!

I nearly make a run for my life until I see that the voice is coming from Laito who's staring at the full moon.

"I love you despite myself whether you want me to or not. I've never forgotten you; your memory haunts me every moment. I remember the sound of your voice, your intoxicating scent; I remember everything."

I wonder whose he's talking about. Knowing him the possibilities are endless.

What? You think I don't know about Laito being a playboy? In the past two weeks that I've been here he's been suspended for five days in total for his perverted nature.

"Who's there? I can hear you breathing." He suddenly says.

Crap!

I sigh to myself once more, momentarily closing my eyes when I open them to find Laito staring at me.

"AH! You lot have got to stop doing that!" I jump in surprise.

"Little Bitch. Don't you know that eavesdropping isn't polite?"

I give an unladylike snort at his comment.

"Why do you think that Reiji is so strung up on disciplining me?"

He gives a faint chuckle in reply, "Oh, but you heard things that weren't meant for you, am I right?"

"A few things." I answer nervously, masking it with a shrug.

"Well what should we do about that?" He suddenly grabs hold of my neck cutting off my air supply.

"Laito. Life good, death bad." I struggle to say.

"Oh, but bad girls need to be punished." He simpers in delight as I let go of my bag to tug uselessly at his hands. When he slams me into the wall behind.

"So tell me, Little Bitch, where would you like it?" I shudder in disgust at the fact that he has one of his legs in-between mine. "I suppose I should start where you're most sensitive."

"My thirst will be quite hard to quench this evening." He states as my vision starts to fail on me, "That's because we Creatures of the Night become ve-ry thirsty when the moon is full. We become so thirsty that it almost drives us mad."

What, madder than usual?

My question is answered when he bites me, his bite almost seems desperate and feral.

Once his thirst is (hopefully) quenched, he pulls back with a surprised expression.

"It couldn't be..."

Not wanting to see what he has to say, I push him away from me and sprint down the stairs with angry tears falling from my eyes, the only witness being the full moon.

I run. Not caring where my feet were taking me. Blurry eyes clouded my vision and my neck stinging from the remains of Laito's bite when all of a sudden I encounter a phone box.

Inserting some spare change I keep in my blazer pocket, I robotically punch in my foster father's number holding the phone to my ear.

I hear someone picking up on the other end.

"Dad?" I start not caring about our non-existent biological relationship, "Its Eliza. The place you sent me too is crazy, I don't know what to do!" I sniff holding back fresh tears and wiping away old ones.
