"No one will stand in my way in this. The only way that will happen is if I am dead."
It was now the night before the group was supposed to leave to return to the Academy. Christmas had been a complete success in many ways, and it was the same for Kisuke, though it was not openly apparent. However, there was a small nick in his plans. He was originally simly going to lure Nikki away, it wouldn't have been hard at all for him. But that brother of hers, he was smarter than Kisuke had given him credit for. Though, while the boy knew too much, he also posed an interesting subject for study. His serum was ready for another test run, and he was the son of a Pure Blood, just as Nikki was the daughter.
That in mind, Kisuke stood over the male Alistair, who was sleeping. He was well awarethat the boy would probably wake up, which was why he wasted no time in injecting him with the serum, to which Morgan did wake up. Kisuke waited patiently with a hand over his mouth, and within seconds the serum fell into effect, and the boy lost conciousness.
There was a second reason for Kisuke's actions. That was because of Morgan's long range ability to charge things with kinetic energy and then cause them to explode. It was one of the few things that could prove hazardous to Kisuke, as it still effected him, even when he was using his own ability. So, in order to go along with what he had planned, Morgan needed to be out of the way. With this, he would be.
"What is happening to me?"
The only thing Morgan had been aware of was a presence that did not belong to someone he wanted it to, and then he felt the hand over his mouth, and a sharp pain in his neck. After that, he lost conciousness, but not entirely. It was more as if he was outside of his body, yet still connected to it. He was in a room, somewhere dark. Fire burned through his viens, destroying him form the inside out. It was excurciating, this pain. There were times that he simply wanted to die, so that he didn't have to feel it any longer.
There were times when he could see blearily, and he would occasionally see a shock of white hair, a red eye, a yellow eye. At first, all he connected them with was Kisuke, but then he got glimpses of a female. A part of him didn't understand what he was seeing. This girl would come up to him, staring blankly. She never spoke to him, not even when he was screaming in pain.
"I don't like it when Father does this. But there is nothing I can do to stop it. It would be unwise to anger him so."
Yuki had glanced up from her chess board when Kisuke had entered her small room, but had made no movement towards him, or any sort of showing that she was happy to se him. He was carrying something heavy, and after a few glances, Yuki surmised that it was a person. He was male, with dark hair and red eyes, and he smelled of vampire. There was also an underlying scent of something rancid, and it was then that Yuri understood that he was her father's next intended bject for the test of his serum. She showed little interest in it, and truly, she wasn't interested. More than likely, the male would die, like all the others had before him
After about three hours of chess and crossing the room to peer at the subject, she finally looked at Kisuke. It is time yet, Father?
Kisuke's eyes flickered to her. "Soon, Yuki. Very soon."
"Something is very wrong."
Itill in the late hours of the day, the sun had yet to set, when Nikki sat bolt upright in her bed. She was...uneasy, and she didnt know why. She closed her eyes, focusing on the heartbeats and bring of the others in the house. As far as she could tell, everyone was still asleep.
Her eyes snapped open. Not including her own, there should have been seven other pairs of heartbeats and breathing. She could five. She focused again, pinpointing who was who. Jasper, Ava, Vincent, and Erys were on the second floor, all where accounted for. So was her uncle, Heinrich. He was awake, it appeared, but that was not her concern. She then focused on her own floor. Her eyes snapped open again, a cold sweat running down the back of her neck.
Morgan and Kisuke were not there. She couldn't sense them anywhere in the mansion, nor on the grounds. She slipped out of bed, and quickly changed, grabbing her sword in the process. She silently corssed the hall to her broters' room, and entered without hesitation the minuet she saw it wasn't fully closed. The mix of Morgan's and Kisuke's scents was overpowering, along with something else that she couldn't explain.
She took a sweeping glance around the room, her sharp eyes noticing something halfway under the bed. She knelt down and picked up a syringe, a rancid smell eminating from it. This was the underlying smell she couldn't place before. Her lips pulled back in a silent snarl as she smelled Morgan's blood on the needle. What the hell have you done, Kisuke?
She didn't waste any more time, and she quickly left the room. She exited the mansion via the front door, wincing in the mild sunlight of the late evening, but she only paused to get her bearings. She had to find her brother. Kisuke had some answers to give her.
