The Rosen Vampire Knight Series

Rose~n~Vampire: Chapter 8

Here we go again,I thought as I found myself the height of a six year old. I was in the dream again, but this time instead of looking out across the beautiful garden of colorful flowers on the balcony, I was in it. Laying on my back, gazing at the clouds above it was a sunny afternoon. I got up and brushed my baby blue dress down and looked about. The pathway was one that I had seen from the balcony. Then I noticed the strange woman again, but this time her face was fully formed, letting me see her deep sea blue eyes and rosy cheeks. She smiled at me and motioned for me to come over.

As I neared her she had faced away, attending to her flowers with a green watering pail. I stopped next to her staring at the flowers as they gladly took the cold water on this hot, sunny day. A small clunk of the watering can being set down surprised me and made me give a little jump. The woman's face looked very weary now like she was on the brink of tears. She started to point out to me the various flowers and tell me thier names, but her voice was muffled to me and I couldn't quite understand.

Turning to dirrect herself to me, she bended over so she was the same height as me. Her white lace dress touched the ground and became wet, but it didn't fase her. She began to talk to me again in a shaky voice that drew her closer to breaking. I could only make out a few words.

"Have..........strong.........don't......worry.....you'll.....fine..............Evalene"

The beautiful woman broke out crying and hugged me close to her. I didn't know what to think, I just stood blankly staring at the sky behind her shoulders.

I woke up in the all too familar white room. I quickly sat up, weariness didn't have it's effect in me as its last time, swung my legs off the bed as to stand..........and stopped. There was a boy sitting in a chair the way a normal person should wearing a white uniform.

"Now don't you faint on me agian" the honey tone with a hint of sarcasim voiced. Followed by a short second pause,"Sorry I could not help myself, but you are okay, are you not?" the honey tone said in a more proper manner that reminded me of the medieval ages.

"Yeah, I'm fine" my voice said, but my heart was racing. Something about this night class student put me on edge like I should be running, not daddling around here."What time---or day---is it?" I asked in a casual tone trying to hide my nervousness.

"It's sunday" checking his watch," About eight in the morning." the honey voice replied in a regular twenty first century tone.

"Ohh" I replied. Jeez that was a stupid thing to say, I thought. Then I remembered Sam and Risa. "What happened to Sam and Risa? Are they Okay? Did the monster go back and get them? Are they still alive?" I blurted out so fast that there was no way he could have understood.

"To answer your first question." The honey tone voice said, taking its time." We found them huddled up near each other scared out of thier wits."

A pause followed that gave me time to think. Boy, if I had my camera,I thought grinning to myself.

"For the second, they seemed okay....phisically, but they maybe damaged mentally" the honey tone continued and gave another pause.

Well,I snickered, Risa's always acted like she's been damaged mentally, with her jokes and all. So, I can live with that.

"I think the first two answers pretty much sum up the last two of your questions" the honey tone said, interupting my train of thought about how much Sam would be different. He leaned back in his chair casually, waiting for me to ask more questions.

"Uhhh" I began. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! You can speak in front of annoying Zero, but not....not......not?

"What's your name?" I asked suddenly. That seemed to surprise him.

"Sorry, it seems that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kaito." Kaito said in his proper tone, sitting up straight in his chair like a gentleman.

Kaito,

I thought, I guess it's a nice name.I began to get lost in thought until Kaito abruptly stood up.

"Escuse me, but I have to take my leave now." Kaito said in a tone that was still honey like, but stern too. He began to walk out the door in a fast pace like something was bothering him.

"Wait!" I called out. Stupid!, I thought.

He paused and turned around, questionly looking at me though still a bit stern in the way his muscles were tensed. As if he was about to spring on someone like a panther would its prey.

"Where are you going?" my voice was very weak, like I couldn't live without his honey toned voice for a second. Gaahhh! I sound desperate! the inner voice sounded.

"I'm, well......see you later." Kaito said in an unsure voice. His eyes darted from me to the open door. And, in a split second, he was out of the doorway. The sound of his footsteps vibrating off of the long hallway.

But there was one thing I caught before he walked out of the room. "Yes, I'm coming". Was he talking to himself? or was there something more to it.

The empty room left me to reflect on last nights events. I began to focus on the monster; the exact details on what it looked like. For one it had a slimy tongue--- I had gained that knowledge when the beast licked its chops at me. But then I picked up an important detail that had escaped me before----the monster's teeth were fangs.

And what kind of monster had fangs? There was only one explaination. The monster was actually a vampire.
