Kyūketsuki (Blood Sucker)

Chapter III

That night was the most restless night Albea had endured. She couldn't fall asleep,due to her over-active brain. It was a bit of a paradox though. It took her long,but Albea managed to actually perform a healing ritual, even though she had to intentionally shed more blood to the fallen angel she summoned in exchange for her well being.

As a result of it all,she didn't actually go to sleep until about 11:00 A.M on Saturday. Did she care if she slept the rest of the day? Not exactly.... her energy had been drained and therefor she wished to sleep,but the gentleman that saved her yesterday wouldn't get what was due him. What it may be....

~×~

It was around 4:30 or so that she awoke,hair a disaster and clothes wrinkled from the many ways she slept.

The teen did care about her appearance, she just wasn't feeling up the whole.'get dressed and look good for a very casual event' sort of thing.
So she threw on a regular pair of jeans and black jacket before heading out once more her beloved spot.

As she locked her door,the dreary thought that the trio may come back lingered in the back of her mind. She shoved it aside,as she was quite stubborn and truly didn't care if they came back. She pushed her glasses back onto he bridge of her nose and went on about her venture to pond in it's getaway of forest trees.

Albea soon found herself nearing her destination,and she pulled her ear buds out her ears in case anybody tried to talk to her. Although, the only person she would be talking was the stranger from yesterday, because currently nobody was around.

Albea shrugged. She would just sit around and wait as usual. She was about to place her ear buds back into her ears and listen to that sweet heavy metal when she heard a familiar voice.

"Hello,small one. I see you came forward."

Albea forgot all about her music and quickly looked around for the owner of the voice,but couldn't find it.

"Aha, clever. But clever enough."

Albea rolled her eyes.

"Seriously? C'mon, where are you hiding?"

Ashen kept quiet on the subject and instead jumped to something that's memes entirely unrelated to the matter at hand.

"How do you feel about monsters?"

The word was said in a more soothing rather then threatening tone.

"Umm, they're rad I guess?"

Ashen audibly sighed.

Albea looked down and spread mud around with her shoe. To her,It was a rather odd question. The more she thought, the more obvious the answer became; but she chose to ignore it.

"What I'm saying, small one, is....how-...do you really want to see me?"

"Of course!  That's why I'm here~..."

Ashen swam from his comfortable dark corner of the pond,making sure just a little skin showed beneath the water's surface. Albea watched,rather curious more then afraid. She scooted closer to the edge of the bank,before stooping down. Ashen swam closer and in a matter of seconds was only a few inches away from Albea who stared in awe. He poked his head above the surface of the water and stare at the human with bright blue eyes.
