Pokémon: Vampire Princess*

Chaptet 43: Café•

I found myself back in my room in the academy. I stared at my ceiling, hearing Xavier yelling at someone outside my door. I looked to the side and saw Shauna appearing over my view with a smile on her face.

"Morning sleepy head!" I sat up, wondering how I got here "Did you sleep good?" She picked up a bowl of oatmeal from the dresser and spoon fed me all of a sudden. I questioned her, but didn't say anything.

"Yeah..." I said "what's going on out there?"

"X is yelling at the holy nurse. Don't worry about him"

"What? What for?"

"She refuse to take more of his blood for your treatment. I was certain you didn't really need it, but he wanted to make sure you have enough so this won't happen again"

"What exactly happened?"

"I don't know, you tell me" I didn't have a answer "so what? You made dad worry about you and you don't even have a reason why?" I made him worry? "The same thing happened when you and X left the badlands. Only this time, you weren't screaming in the middle of the city" I held my chin to think, and then I looked at my pinky.

"My blood promise"

"What?"

"Mom and I made a blood promise a long time ago to never look too deep into her memories. Since she's the first vampire to live, she had a lot of memories. From what I remember, I was drawing a picture of some things, and she made me promise to never remember those things again. Whatever triggered me must've made me remember something" the front door open, letting in Augustine and X. X ran pass him to hop on the bed and wrap his arms around me. I smiled and hugged him back, missing his warmth.

"Yannie! You got me worried all over again!" He frowned.

"I'm sorry" I kissed his cheek and cuddled into his shoulder, feeling his body heat and heart increase.

"It looks like the blood bond triggered the same thing again" Augustine said. X questioned what that was.

"It's a pinky promise vampires make in order to keep secrets. It works by cutting your finger for it to bleed and share each other's blood. That promise makes you swear to whatever you promised. Making a promise like that is taken seriously, you'll have to commit to it" I explained.

"What if you want to remove the promise?" Shauna asked, thinking about it.

"Isn't it cruel for your mom to make you swear on something you can't control?" Xavier asked.

"It's not like she expected me to run away from home" I shrugged.

"I had detected that whatever triggers you has to do with the 3,000 year old legend of Kalos that has to do with the king" Augustine suggested. I hummed.

"Were we talking about that?" I asked.

"You can say we got into a subject Lysandre was talking about after talking about your father" I tried not remembering whatever happened that time just in case "It's better to not talk about it. Lysandre knows better now. It's for your sake" I nodded.

"Thank you for taking care of me" I took the bowl Shauna was holding "I'm fine now. Hopefully something in that subject of whatever triggers me won't come up again" I ate my food.

"I better get back to work. When you're able to, I like to talk to you down in the dungeon about the two Team Flare grunts and another young lady who is waiting for you" young lady? "She followed me from Lysandre's café, revealing to me that she was a vampire and that she wanted to help you" a girl working at the café? That girl? The one who I met in Glittering Cave?
