A Vampire's Promise (Sequel to-Lost in a Frozen World)

Chapter 13

Sorry for not uploading, I just got done going to my ANIME CONVENTION :D MY FIRST ONE!!!!

*victory dance* I was having a heart attack the whole time, looking around and basically naming every cosplayer. I was amazed by how many people went, since I come from a small town, not to mention province. It was AMAZING!!!

tHERE GOES ABOUT $300 TT^TT It was worth it...I got everything I dreamed of and I met the voice actor for Mousse (Ranma 1/2), Gohan (Dragon BallZ)  and Light Yagami (Death Note).

ANYWAYS, BEFORE I NEVER SHUT UP-

What i was originally going to talk about was how the story line is kinda going no where. I thought it was alright and such, I still do, but I realized that the promise Zero was SUPPOSED to make has passed. .-.

I'll just squeeze into this chapter XD

PICTURE: Zero ( i thought it looked good and kinda went a bit with the story line...?)

MUSIC: Terrible things (I love this song now, I even know how to play the song on piani while singing it...I got hooked when I wanted a Clannad AMV TT^TT) So many feels.

I didn't bother talking to her. She sat staring at the television. I sat staring at her. The air was tense, I could feel it weighting me down as her dull eyes reflected everytthing the TV showed. I stood up, grabbing my coat as I threw it over my shoulder. Drinking solves everything Zero! Drink until you can't anymore, it'll put you at ease! Fuck no. My mind looped around strange thoughts over and over, begging me to do something to get my mind off this, but it just wouldn't go away. Something like that doesn't just go away.

I turned to leave.

"I'm going out to get mil-"

"Stay here." Sammy murmured. I was surprised that she even directed any of her words at me, but I didn't show it. I dared a glance at Sammy; her eyes were transfixed on the screen. I looked back to the dark wood door.

"I need to get it for tonight."

"Stay." She said again in the same monotone voice. She sounded more dead then ever, and I couldn't help but think, Zero, she's already dead. Get over it.

I walked over to where Sammy sat. I stood in front of her, she stared right through me. I kneeled down before her, glaring into her eyes in a kind fashion as she looked me dead in the eye. She saw righgt though me.

"Sammy, I'll be out just a minute-"

"No."

"Why not?" I frowned. I didn't really need milk from the store, I just wanted a walk to clear my mind. not that she'd let me go do either from the looks of things. The plan was to head north towards the hospital and clinic; I think that's where the wind blows from, maybe it would give me an even clearer mind. Maybe, just maybe, I might get a couple blood bags. Although I find that it's horrid to drink blood, I find it better then blood tablets and not as bad as fresh blood.

"Death." She muttered, finally staring at me, the person in front of her. She gave me a look over, as if we were meeting for the first time. Her eyes narrowed as she whispered harshly, "Death follows those who follow you." My jaw went slack. Did Sammy hughes really just say that to me? Really?

"Like you're one to talk." I hissed, not trying to sound rude, but then again, all those years living in the dorms, trying to control all the people had made my heart grow colder and colder by the day. Shizuka Hioh had started the pain, the others only added onto it. i just had never expected Sammy would thaw out my heart only to cause a blizzard inside of it later.

"Stay." She whispered again, her voice sounding like one not to be challenged. She was seeming to get lost in her own world again, so I grabbed Sammy hands. Suddenly she was deathly cold and shaking. Sammy must have really been afraid.

"I'm not going to do anything. I won't turn into a Level E if it's the last thing I do. I will pull through this, and so will you. I promise." Sammy looked confused, but she huddled away from me, pulling her knees up to her chest as she whimpered. Her hands were shaking badly, they seemed almost numb. She forced her hands away from mine, pulling them up against her heart as she cried into the couch. I got up and left. As I closed the door, all i could make out of what Sammy was saying over and over was-

"Since death follows you wherever you go, death follows those who follow you."

Well hell everything was getting dramatic. I didn't know what to say. I liked to keep my promises, especially to Sammy, but shit. I don't even know if I can stop resisting the smell of blood, let alone drinking it! Everything was going down the drain.

Looking at my hands now, I noticed they were shaking slightly, the finger nails growing longer by the minute. The slight sensation of burning didn't take me by surprise. I hid it over my jacket, hoping people wouldn't notice the glowing. Just as I was buttoning my jacket, someone poked me on the shoulder, slow and deliberate. I turned to face a middle aged man with a kid standing next to him.

"Bonjour. Mon nom est Francis. Où est l'hôspital? Me diriez-vous?"*The man, looking hopeful, confused me to no end. Was he speaking....Spanish or something. I was Japanese, hello? We lived in Japan. English and japanese mainly, so whatever the hell he was talking about was confusing. The look I was giving must have told him I didn't understand, because his smile fell and he hung his head. The man started walking away when the scent hit my nose. Bloof. Fresh at that. I looked back to the man, noticing the small child walking beside him who wailed, holding his arm in an awkward position as blood seeped between his fingers. I licked my lips, grinding my teeth together as to not give in. What had he said again?

"What did you say?" I asked in english hoping the man would at least know the language. Suddenly the man hopped up, coming over to me and grabbing my arms. the child followed him, the scent only growing stronger. I felt myself losing to the pull of my instincs.

"Hello, I'm Francis! Where's a hospital around here? Will you show me the way?" He replied in a deep, thraoty voice. The child looked at me then, his eyes full of tears as he continued to cry. Those eyes were like bright blue marbles.

I nodded my head, almost mesmerized by this kid's eyes. I took the lead, leading them down the sidewalk, walking in the opposite direction. South. I couldn't help but grimmace. My mind and body were doing two seperate things. I shook my head, staring at the ground as I realized what Sammy had said was true.

Death follows those who follow you.

And that was exactly where I was leading them.

* The man ikn french, the full sentance is :"Hello, my name is Francis. WHere is the hospital?Could you show me?" And it is written again later in english.
