Chapter 45

"I-I came to apologize."

-She stood at the entrance of the infirmary with a sad and worried expression on her face, while her left hand was lightly griping her right one. Roselin wasn"t sure if Rin wanted to see her or not after what she did to him, she was too afraid of hearing what he would say to her and couldn"t muster the courage to get any closer to him.

-She was afraid of losing him, a person she considered to be her friend, first friend she made in a very long time, and one her own age as well. After what she did to him it wouldn"t be so weird if he wouldn"t want to talk with her anymore and would cut himself away from her. She got used to it already, not having people to talk to and always being alone, its something she"s accustomed to.

-But Rin and Finn were deferent, they weren"t like the other student and talked behind her back. They stood up for her and even went out of their way to help her, she was thankful for that and hoped they could get a lot closer and become real friends, but in the end, it was because of her that he"s now in the school infirmary.

No... I can"t let it end like this, I have to make it right and apologize.

-She gathered all the courage she had in her body and moved from the entrance towards the bed in which Rin was laying in. As soon as their eyes made contact Roselin got scared and decided that it would be best if she simply left. She couldn"t take the look he gave her, at that moment various kinds of bad thoughts and scenarios went through her mind and she didn"t want them to come true.

"I-I understand if you"re angry and don"t want to talk to me, so I"ll just leave..."

"No, stay."-He said before Roselin could leave the room crying.

-Rin was completely calm, there wasn"t even a slightest bit of anger inside his eyes or voice. Unlike what she thought, Rin had no feeling of anger or resentment towards her, if anything he was happy she came to apologize. Hearing him say that, Roselin stoped and did as he told her.

-Her previously watery eyes gave birth to a waterfall of tears that went down her face at a rapid rate when she heard him say those words. She was happy to hear that, but she was mad at herself for doing what she did to him that every time she remembers it she simply wishes she were dead.

"I"ll give you two some time alone."-Emily said while leaving the infirmary.

-The reason she came was to apologize for her actions and that"s what she did. Even though she wasn"t in control of her body she was aware of every action she was doing. She can remember attacking him fiercely and drinking his blood, she was the reason he lied in this bad right now and it made her feel horrible.

"I-I know this won"t be enough... to make you forgive me for what I"ve done... but, I"m really sorry."

"Sigh... You don"t need to apologize. I a.s.sume you had your reasons for doing it, otherwise, you wouldn"t have done it, am I right?"


"...Yes, but doing that to a friend is just..."

"...I"m glad that you are calling me a friend."-Rin stood up from the bed and with a gentle smile told her those words.

"I-Is it weird? I can stop if..."

"We"re friends, so don"t be afraid to call me that. And on another hand, now I know why I had that weird feeling around you, It"s because you"re a vampire."

"...Feeling? I don"t understand."

"You see I"ve encountered a vampire once before, fought him in fact. When I saw you for the first time I had this strange feeling which I couldn"t describe, but now know it was Déjà vu."

"R-really?"

"Say... does the name Vladimir Petrinski ring any bells?"

"I"m not very versed in our culture to tell you the truth. In fact, I honestly hate my race from the bottom of my heart, and I hate the fact that I am one of them. I hate that I"m a monster, so, unfortunately, I don"t know anything about this Vladimir Petrinski."

"Well doesn"t matter at the end of the day..."

Since he"s dead now!

-Being that his injury wasn"t all that serious and Emily was just overreacting, Rin took his stuff and together with Roselin left the infirmary. As they walked down the empty school halls, he decided to ask her a personal question, something he found strange in her last words.

"You said that you hate being a vampire, how come?"

-The question he posed her was a very personal one, but she didn"t mind telling him.

"...Both of my parents committed suicide after my birth. I can understand why though, I was left alone in a castle surrounded by people who cared only about whose child I was. My feeling and decisions didn"t matter to them, I was like their puppet which they could control and use as they see fit. My parent"s death was of little matter as long as their child was still alive... because I was born with a power unlike any before and they wanted it... It"s all because of them and their stupid traditions."

"I realized soon enough that we"re nothing more than blood-sucking monsters who feed off of humans, we take their lives so what right do we have to live. I hate and always will hate the one that made us and I hate myself for being one."

"I starve myself for as long as I can take it, I tried subst.i.tuting it with animal blood but my stomach couldn"t digest it. Once I"m at my limit my instincts kick in and force me to feed in order to stay alive."

"So you were at your limit and needed blood to survive, that"s why you attacked me."

"Yes, Im sorry."

"As I said, don"t worry about it. But if your clan is so strict about following traditions and especially about you and that power you possess, how some they allowed you to join this academy."

"...They didn"t, I ran away! At the age of twelve, after I realized how messed up those people were that I had no future If I stayed there I decided to run away. I drank my caretaker dry and escaped from the castle to the outside world."

"I see now... all of that must have been pretty hard for you."

"It was... I was all alone in a world completely new to me and I needed a way to survive."

"Is that how those rumors started?"

"I would a.s.sume so. You see, as a youngling, I needed a lot of blood so that my body could grow and develop properly like babies need their mother"s milk, we need blood. Money was also a problem, as I soon found out that you couldn"t do anything without it."

"So I killed two birds with one stone. While walking down a street an older man approached me with intentions of using my body for s.e.xual purposes to satisfy himself, so I took the opportunity."

"Took the opportunity?"

"It"s not what you think. To tell you the trough I"m actually scared of having s.e.x, just thinking about doing it and how much it would hurt sends chills down my spine... but none the less once I meet the right person I think the act itself won"t be that scary anymore hihihiihi."

"We were right, the rumors are nothing more than that, but then what did you do?"

"My ability is Euphoria. By injecting some of my blood into another person I can make them experience pleasures and emotions they never knew existed. I used this ability on the men I lored into hotels and while they were under the effect, drank their blood and took their money."

"I see, so that"s what that feeling was I had before fainting."

I a.s.sume she used her sharp nails to stab herself and used the finger with the blood on it to cut my face and activate her ability, quite skillful I must say.

"...Even if I didn"t do anything with those men, it was still scary entering those hotels with strangers who could do who knows what to me at any moment. I hate remembering those moments, but in a strange way whenever I do it makes me want to work even harder towards achieving my goal."

-Roselin grabbed her ear and showed it to Rin, to be precise she showed him the piercings she had on it.

"I have sixteen of them, one for each time I entered a hotel with a man and drank his blood. They serve me as a reminder of those hard and painful days so that I never forget what I went through to get this freedom."

"...Your idea of accessories is weird, you know that! You could have gotten something prettier to show off those beautiful eyes of yours."

-It was an attack she didn"t see coming and one that made her blush for the first time in her life. Her face was as red as a chilly pepper. Rin didn"t mean it in a romantic sense, he wanted to break the bad mood she was putting herself into by complement her beautiful crimson eyes and it worked. By his tone of voice and the look in his eyes Roselin knew he didn"t mean it in that way and laughed her heart out, but none the less, it made her very happy to hear it.

"Hahahahahahaha! S-somehow you can make me laugh and it"s weird... I haven"t laughed like this in forever."

"...That wasn"t my intention but I"ll take it."

"Hahahahahahaha! You know something, you were the reason I even went to cla.s.s the other day despite knowing all the rumors had already spread like wildfire."

"Really? How so?"

"I was out for a stroll and saw you training on the field, at that moment I thought to my self "Who is this idiot training in the middle of the night?", but seeing how you never gave up despite it looking like your bones were about to break at any given moment gave me the confidence to go to cla.s.s and simply ignore the rumors."

"It was like: "If he can train despite it being this late and being in that state then what can some rumors do!" hahahahahaha!"

"...Well, I"m glad I was of help to you."

"You both were in a strange way. Even if he annoyed the h.e.l.l out from me I have to admit that running away from him and seeing the deferent approaches he tried was the most fun I had in a very long time."

-She smiled and laughed, the feeling Roselin experienced at this moment was that of happiness.

She was happy knowing she had people she could call her friend, people who knew her for who she was and didn"t need to pretend in front off. She was happy to have finally made friends.

"I need to ask you something?"

"What is it, friend."

"Do you perhapse know of a student from cla.s.s C? Black hair, kind of scary looking, his name is Haruto. I havent seen him around the school recently."

-As soon as she heard his name she knew who Rin was talking about.

"You don"t know?"

"Know what? Is he alright?"

"Well... you see, he"s being bullied by this one guy from his cla.s.s. From what I heard he"s making him do all sort of disgusting and messed up things."

"WHAT!"

"Apparently, he had his eye on Haruto from the first day and was doing it ever since."

"That son of a b.i.t.c.h! And why isn"t Haruto protecting himself, he didn"t seem like the type of person who would just take that sort of thing and do nothing."

"I really don"t..."

-While Roselin tried to finish her sentence an arm grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her back, away from Rin and made her fall to the ground.

"GET AWAY FROM MY BEST FRIEND, YOU MONSTER!"

-Finn yelled with pure rage and anger in his eyes at the girl he threw on the floor as he stood in between two of them.
