Trending: Vampires

Well, Shi-

When I woke up, I found myself very naked, with the exception of the covers covering my ass just enough, and very alone. I narrowed my eyes slightly once I noticed the second thing. Of course the fucker would do that, he probably went to the palace to work. Honestly though, it didn't make me mad, no, in fact it made me chuckle into the pillow with my hair splayed across it.

Eventually, I made myself roll ober onto my back with my arms thrown haphazardly on the bed. There were random pillows in even more random places like on top of the dresser, and one at the door from when we were just laying there and lazily throwing pillows at one another, and then being too lazy to pick them up. I was astounded by the way he made me feel last night. It was almost like we actually cared for one another, and that we weren't just going through the motions of what a married couple would.

Of course, I had to keep reminding myself that he had sort of admitted to liking me a bit more than he wanted to, and it made my heart race every time I remembered him saying that. It was so strange, all of it was. Normally, married couples would have admitted their feelings for one another a long, long time ago. For us, we were supposed to only learning to tolerate one another. But last night? There was so much more there than what both of us cared to admit. 

And so, I forced myself to sit up, glancing at the clock on the wall to tell me it was a quarter past ten in the morning, a little later than I normally slept in the day but not too worrisome. I slung my feet over the edge of the bed and grabbed the suitcase of my belongings that honestly I had no idea what were. Someone else had packed the bag for me so we could leave. I had never been more grateful for that in my life with how many people were swarming us- Kaname -and giving their congrats.

Eventually I found some boxers to put on, because walking around naked was still frowned up here, and ran a hand over my face. Stretching my back, I could tell I was sore from the night's activities. There was no telling how Kaname felt when he woke up, but I just chuckled about that as well. I decided to take a leisurely stroll to the kitchen since I was about to starve to damn death.

On the counter was a note, a pack of pills, and a glass of water. The note simply stated the obvious, him going to the palace to work on some things but would be back before noon. He was pushing his time frame just a smidge. After realizing that there was absolutely nothing in the fridge or cabinets to eat, I sighed and took some of the blood tablets that he had left me. They tasted awful, and I wondered how anyone could stand them.

But as I swallowed the last drop of water, it was a sharp knife went straight through my stomach and I fell to my knees, clutching that area and screaming out in pain. I never really had something bother me that much, but oh god was this a bitch. This was the first time I had ever taken the blasted pills, at least in a long time, and it was awful. My screams got louder as the pain intensified. The door swung open from the living room and someone ran through the house.

"Zero oh my god, are you okay?" Yuki asked as she knelt down beside me. She seemed a bit uncomfortable by the fact that I wasn't wearing anything but boxers, but I was thanking my rational side for saying that I should put something on. "What happened?" she asked as I leaned against a cabinet and gritted my teeth hard enough to nearly break them.

"I took blood tablets." was all I could force out before the pain was just too unbareable for me to talk. I involuntarily screamed again, loud enough to pierce Yuki's ears I'm sure. I could tell that she was internally panicking while watching me scream and writhe in pain.

"Okay so- I'm not sure what's going on -let's get you back to bed." she finally said, coming to the front of me and lifting me up the best she could with the obvious weight difference. Vampires may be slightly stronger than humans, but that didn't mean they could lift a whole lot. Especially not Yuki.

She basically dragged me to the room I had spent the night in previously and helped me get situated in before covering me up and fretting over my pillows being set correctly. Once they were to her specifications, she rushed to the bathroom to get a bowl of water and a damp rag to drape over my forehead. She was honestly acting like a mother worrying over he sick child right then.

My screams got louder and longer, tears pricked my eyes as I felt like my entire body was being ripped apart from the inside. Yuki was so worried that she called in some of the maids from the palace to be of assistance to whatever she thought needed to be done. Everything they tried to give me for pain, my body rejected.

It was almost as if I was being eaten alive by some parasite. My throat burned from all of the use my vocal cords had gotten. Everyone there was running around like beheaded chickens because they didn't know what to do and they feared for their jobs if they didn't get me better soon. This went on for hours I'm sure, but time seemed to not exist for me during that. It was all so horrific, the pain spread to various parts of my body, making it feel like I had some awful disease.

It was nearing sun down when the door slammed open once more to reveal a disheveled looking Kaname, his eyes wide with worry as he looked at me. He immediately rushed to my side taking in my appearance. I was covered in sweat, my face was for sure either flushed or completely devoid of color at all, and my eyes were barely able to stay open. But I did notice how when he first came into the room, the pain dulled down immensely and the closer he got, the more tolerant I became to it.

"Are you okay? What happened? Did someone try to hurt you? How are you feeling?" he asked quickly, checking me up and down for injuries.

"It would have been so much better," I began, taking a deep breath and swallowing thickly in between, "if you had showed up six hours ago." I finished and he lowered his eyes. Everyone in the room looked so exhausted. "I'm never taking blood tablets again." I told Kaname as he took my hand discreetly.

"I could hear you screaming at the palace, everyone could. Oh god I thought I was going to lose my mind. I tried so hard to get away, I really did. I'm so sorry-" I cut him off.

"Hey, its okay. You're here now and that's all that matters. It doesn't hurt so bad now that you've decided to arrive." I joked and he chuckled quietly. He looked so genuinely worried, I almost forgot about my body attacking me. Almost.

"I'm not going to leave you alone until this goes away. First thing tomorrow morning, we're going back to the palace. We'll get you better." Kaname told me and I hummed in response, realizing just how tired I was.

"Kana, do you think someone poisoned the tablets?" Yuki asked quietly, making Kaname clench his jaw in thought. Why would someone do that? Oh right, I'm an asshole, and everyone wants him. Why not try to kill my slowly and painfully?

"It's possible." was all he said and she let her features contort into worry, sadness, and fear. My eyes began to grow heavier as I watched the exchange, and it was getting to the point where I couldn't stay awake much longer. "Get some rest, I'll be here when you wake up."

And so I did, thinking about what Yuki said quietly.

"Oh shit."
