“Would it hurt to die?”
As Haruka watched the scene before her, more explosions racked the grounds of Cross Academy, destroying nearly half of the school. The ground shook violently and she fought to keep her footing and her eyes on Zenith and the boy who had no name.
As the grounds shook, the browned haired boy glanced over his shoulder at her, red eyes meeting blue as a crooked smile graced his lips, building up the unease within herself. She knew right then and there that she should have turned around and left this to Zenith, but she couldn't bring her to do such a a thing, it may sound foolish, but she wanted nothing more then to help the fair haired Vampire, but she couldn't she was just a human, what could she have possibly done to help now? Te boy turned back towards Zenith before speaking. "I'll accept your payment wholeheartedly."
The boy moved faster than Haru could keep track of, attacking Zenith head on, but it was easily blocked. "Aren't we strong? Let's put more effort." The boy said, his voice laced with amusement before delivering a roundhouse kick, which Zenith blocked with his other arm, but that was what the boy was hoping for. "Caught you." The boy hissed before electric currents expanded throughout the blade Zenith held, scorching his hand and soon causing an explosion around the two of them, a blast of wind swept her hair back and blew bits of rock and dirt towards her, making her throw up her arms to cover her face and shutting her eyes tightly.
"You do not disappoint. The sweetest of all purebloods." Haruka blinked as the smoke cleared, revealing that both Vampire's were not harmed in anyway, but also reveling strange globes of bluish-fire that surrounded them."Raising the dead? How fitting." As soon as the words left his mouth, haunting cries came from strange glowing globes. However, Zenith never responded to the boy, instead the globes were directed in an attack towards the boy causing even more explosions and now where the boy had stood smoke was all that could be seen, but Haruka knew deep down that hoping the boy had died from such an attack was only wishful thinking. The could of smoke prevented Haru was being able to see Zenith, and worry began to build up within herself. "You're no fun, let's make it so."
That's when it happened, the boy jumped backwards and landed in front of her, a horrifying smile placed on his lips as her eyes widened. He made a move to seemingly cut her into half, however, Zenith took the blow, moving in front of her before she could blink and allowing the blade to sink into his stomach."Z-Zenith!" Her voice was a mere whisper compared to the boys. "So predictable." The boy laughed as he pulled out the blade, no mercy being shown in the act. Blood fell to the ground in a sicking way and Zenith still stood in front of her, bleeding at a rapid rate. Zenith held his wound while the boy licked the blood from his weapon, making her stomach turn. "They are right. You're blood is indeed the best." The boy said with a malicious smile. "You won't mind me having all of it right?" Haruka's eyes widened as she realized that he was about to attack once more in what would be the finishing blow, but then, he stopped. "Well, there is always next time."The boy said with clear disappointment before he disappeared with the gush of wind. Once the wind was gone, along with the boy, Zenith turned towards Haruka and stared down at her, but all she could do was stare at his wound. "Go. You are not safe here." He said before walking past her.
She was lost in her own mind and missed the words that was shared between Asuka and Zenith not to far ahead of her, but she didn't miss the look he sent over his shoulder in her direction before they both disappeared, leaving her alone in a destroyed field that used to be part of a forest. Haruka didn't know how to feel, he had saved her, and yet there was nothing she could do to repay him, there was nothing she could do to help Zenith like Asuka could, because she was only human, she didn't belong in his world, it would end up killing her. Haru looked down at the ground, where Zenith's blood still lay, and her stomach tuned once more, because she realized that she would have to die if she was ever going to be able to live in his world, in this new world full of monster, or she would end up getting other's killed.
Haruka clenched her fist's and stood there for a good half an hour before she slowly begun to make her way back towards her dorm. Half of the school was in ruins, and the other half was in panic, all she felt like doing was sleeping, she felt tired and weak, like she hadn't slept in months, and Haruka felt alone. She had no family, no friends, and now her school, which was filled with Vampires, was being threatened by Vampires. What kind of twisted fairy tale was this? Surly she was never supposed to find out about this strange new world, because if she was, shouldn't she have known the second she thought about entering this place, shouldn't all of the Day Class student's known about he danger they would be putting themselves in by joining this school? That they were all risking their lives? Shouldn't the world be made aware of what was going on behind the vial of lies we had all set up? No... If the world did know everything would just be worst, perhaps things were better off like this.
She sighed quickly as she opened her dorm room, which she hadn't been in for awhile, and was highly surprised to find the room more populated than it had been in a few weeks. Asuka lay in her bed, sleeping peacefully, and beside her bed, in a chair, lay Zenith, who had also given into sleep. Haruka stood there for a few minuets, blinking at the scene in front of her, before she silently walked into the room and shut the door. She moved around the room like a gentle breeze, barely making any noise as she pulled out clean clothes for herself, which consisted of a long pink baggy t-shirt that went a little past her mid thigh, and new under garments. She silently went into the bathroom and showered quickly before changing back into her pajamas and walking back into the room. Both Zenith and Asuka were still asleep, but as Haru threw in dirty clothes into the bin by the door, she felt worry for both of them, they both looked pale, and ill, most likely because they both had lost a lot of blood. She sighed once more and grabbed the comforter from her bed and gently placed it over Zenith's body and re-covered Asuka with the sheets she had kicked off before she went over to her own bed and curled up, hugging her pillow to her chest and staring up at the ceiling. She allowed her thoughts to wander for awhile before sleep took her.
When she woke up she would speak with both Zenith and Asuka, she had to thank Zenith for protecting her and she would have to speak with Asuka about something, a way to maybe help the Prefect...Haruka was tired of being alone, and she didn't want to be scared, or angry with her roommate any longer.
