The New Ruler of vampires

Episode 2 : what happens After happy ever afters

"Ritsuka. . ." the girl in her arms said as blood started to pool around her from a knife in her torso "...help me?" she whispered and turned her head. Her eyes were sunken and skin whiter than paper as her blood left her body

Ritsuka woke up in a cold sweat. It was the same dream.. well, nightmare, of the day Azuna died. It always felt so real. Ritsuka shakes her head, trying to get the image of her friend from her mind. She only wanted the memories of her when she was alive and smiling and happy, not the corpse from her dream. Ritsuka looks at her clock. It was six thirty in the morning. The sun was barely up but she decided to get ready for school anyways. She looked at the time. It was seven in the morning now, her mom and brother weren't up yet so she decided to make breakfast for everyone which included sunny side up eggs, bacon and toast. She decided she'd make something easy today.

I turned my head when I heard Lindos door open and close, signaling that he was up. Not soon after, mom also got up. "You almost done?" I heard mom asking Lindo. 'He must have gotten to the bathroom first.' I thought to myself as a small smile made its way onto my face. I sat down and Lindo entered the room. Mom came in after a few moments. "Good morning mom, brother" I say to them. "Morning Ritsuka" they replied. We ate our food. Mom and Lindo discussed her job and how his college courses are going. I nodded along. It was Monday so we will be busy with school and mom with her job. "Ritsuka" I heard mom call my name which snapped me out of my thoughts. "Yes?" I replied quickly. "Have you thought of what you are going to do once you graduate?" mom asks me "No, I haven't" I replied. 'I actually thought of becoming an exorcist.. but i doubt Lindo and mom would approve of it.' I thought to myself.

After breakfast I walked to school. It was actually the first time Lindo actually let me walk to school again in three years. At school, I made a few friends but it's not the same. I can't bring myself to hang out in the spots where me and Azuna hung out. 'Too many memories' I think to myself as I make my way through the halls of the school.

"Hey Azuna" I yelled to my friend. I had just made it to the courtyard of the school where we would look over our homework or just chat. "Ritsuka" Azuna says and turns around smiling.

I closed my eyes letting the images disappear as I neared my classroom. Opening the door and sitting down. I looked out the window watching as everyone went about their day.

The day went by like a blur. I walked to my locker and grabbed my shoes, putting them on and made my way back home. After walking for about a mile, I stopped having spotted a cart selling flowers from the corner of my eye. The yellow roses had caught my eye. Looking at them reminded me that I should visit Azuna again and let her know how everyone was doing. I made my way over to the cart, looking at the flowers. They were very pretty. "Hello miss, did you see something you like?" said an older women from the other side of the cart. I hopped back since I had not noticed her there. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?" said the lady. "A little. I didn't notice you there." I replied nervously. She just smiled "Getting flowers for a special someone?" she asked. I smiled and looked at the flower "Yeah, you could say that." I said, looking at the yellow roses "Can I get three yellow roses, please?" I asked the lady. "Of course" she said, smiling.

I walked up the steps. I had texted my mom and brother letting them know where I was. Lindo is going to pick me up since the sun is also down. I made it to Azunas gravestone and placed the flowers at the base of it. "Hello Azuna-chan.. How have you been? We've been good. I'm sorry I haven't visited lately. Lindo is in collage now and he is studying demons like grandfather did. And mom has fully recovered. and is now better than ever ".... I want to become an exorcist like you and Lindo so I can protect everyone." I said expecting no reply "Do you always talk to yourself?" said a voice from behind me and there stood a girl. She looked seventeen and had short, curly, platinum blonde hair and sherbet pink eyes. "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm Akiko Sato. Nice to meet you."
