Vampire Knight, The Tortured Knight(Fanfic)

ch.3 Lævateinn

It was a few days after the incident with Yuki "Grey, you seem troubled" Kaien would say to me. I looked to him, back to the chefs knife and cutting bored. "I suppose you can say that..." I would say as I gripped a carrot in one hand then started steadily dicing it with the other. "Really now? Does it have to do with the situation a few days ago?" He would ask, and of corse he did.

I would finish, grabbing another carrot. "Yep..." I would look to him, not bothering to look as I chop. He would smile to me, chuckling "and what would that be?" "That my maker, master, mistress, whatever, may still be alive..." I would answer him. His happy demeanor faded and he looked down at his stew. "Is that so...? Do you know whom it is?" He asked and I shook my head. "No... but I heard its voice in my head, I felt its presence... it asked me to give in, use its power that was forced upon me and embrace my nature..." I would say as I stopped myself from talking so much along with halting my chopping.

Kaien was simply in silence, a few seconds later went by before he spoke again "what was this power? Did you use it?" He would ask me. I nodded, clutching the handle very tightly. "Black flames... There were black flames Kaien" I would say to him. He simply chuckled and shook his head. "Impossible, there hasn't been a pure blooded vampire whom can summon and control black flames sense... Well Kuryiama" he would say as he continued to laugh. "But what if this Kuryiama is still alive?" "She's not. She's been confirmed dead by the society for ages Grey. Like approximately a five-hundred years ago. I think what you need is a good rest and maybe... some feeding, voices isn't uncommon among ferals..." he would say to me.

I simply clenched my teeth, gritting them. "Ask about Lævateinn" the voice boomed in my head. I would cringe slightly and kaien seemed to notice it. "Whats wrong?" He would ask me. I would look to him "what about Lævateinn?" I would ask him. He would narrow his eyes slightly. I couldn't tell if he was confused or surprised but his next words confirmed something. "I never heard of that name before Grey... though I will look it up for you" he would say. I would smile, nodding. "My fledgling, you wish to know of me. Along, you must feed, it be a shame if you go rampaging throughout the school, though it be an interesting sight, I don't want to be found out.." the voice boomed in my head, I gritted my teeth slightly.

"Gods... that... blows..." I would day slowly. Kaien simply chuckled. "As it may 'blow' Grey, you are stable and fine, thats all that matters" he would say. I would nod to him and go back to chopping up vegetables for stew.

After dinner, I went to the bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror, more specifically, my dark red tinted eyes. Slowly but surely, my hunger keeps growing... I would clutch the sides of the sink strongly, growling sligtly. "Gods... what a monster I become.." I would say to myself. "So because you carry my blood, venom, various of parts of myself, in you, you're a monster... Silly fledgling" the voice or... Lævatienn spoke to me. "Why speak to me now after all these years..?" I would ask out loud.

"You fed and awakaned my blood within you. From the way I see it... You have no real reason to be questioning me, I have my reasons for why I do things... So be a good boy and amuse me..." The voice demanded. I was confused slightly. I would shake my head, turning on the water, cupping the water then splashing it on my face. All of a sudden, Yuki bursted in the washroom, only to freeze when seeing me. Then just like bad luck, the hunger struck me like no tomorrow. I could see everything, her blood veins, her blood flow, everything. I grit my teeth, looking away, gripping sink even harder I swear the sink was about to break in my grasp.

"I never got to thank you that day... for saving me" Yuki would say. "Come on my fledgling... give in..." Lævatienn boomed in my head again. I would snarl slightly, turning my head to glare at Yuki. "You... would leave if you knew what was best..." I managed to say. She seemed scared at first as her eyes met mine, but then she seemed... almost brave. "Its happening again isn't it..?" She would ask. I would snarl, looking away, then finally my grip managed to snap off a piece of the sink. I quickly let go then covered my mouth. "What does it look like..." I would say to her. She would sigh as she approached me, loosening her collar.
