JEZABELLE
"... Miss Jezabelle." i hated to admit it but i was begining to warm to this noble. I noted to myself that i must see the nurse when i got back to the academy. My brain might be suffering from a minor concusion from the knoocking about i recieved from that monster... whatever it was...
Smirking back at her i picked up my bag and placed it on my back.
"Just try to keep up... That IS... IF you can." i sped off. I was about 100m away before she was even able to get her backpack on her bag. To my surprise however she caught up with myself, and unlike most that i had done this small dissapering act with she wasn't out of breath. I always found it pathetic when even at this slow speed they were puffed and wheezing at me.
"I must admit, not bad Noble...sorry, Shimei" i said running backwards.
"Oh I can do better pureblood...I mean, Jezabelle" She said a cocky smirk on her face.
"I would expect so. You having a slight injury, keeping up with me and not being exauhsted.... But I can do better also. However the time is not for racing but for getting to our destination." with that i gave her a slight nod of my head and continued on. a small silence engulfed us until Shimei ended it.
"Do you know a guy named Alex? he rescued me... and i wanted to say thank-you."
"Why would you ask me? How could I know of him?"
"It's just...." she paused for a short while, i looked over at her and she looked back pointing at my thigh, "He had the same Knife as you."
I placed my hand on my knife gently.
"This knife?"
"Yes, his was exactly like it."
"You DO take notice of everything in your surroundings don't you?"
"Yes, But their exactly the same you can't deny that." I stayed quiet, in the distance i could see the top of the mountian, soon we would be able to go downhill, much easier in my opinion.
"The tops in the distance, better get ready to go downhill."
"Are you trying to avoid my answer?" another pause was between us and i looked down at my feet.
"This is Sebastian knife, i borrow it from time to time.... I would not know about it's origins, so whether or not it had others like it i would be anaware if it." i lied through my teeth, at least about the not knowing it's origins. This WAS Sebastians knife, but i knew the story behind it just as Sebastian and Alexander knew it.
An elder walked through the door. Tall and lean, pale at the moon and Flaxen hair past his shoulders. He bent down, his thin arm outstrecthed to pick up my painting with claw like nails stracthing the wood on the underside he observed the painting at a distance like an art critic evaluating a peice of work from an unknown painter.
"Putrid." he said simply, discarding the painting like a peice by Andy Warhol should have been. My amazing painting of flowers and angels, like that of a master, was nothing more then garbage.
"Your harp. Pick it up." he said forcefully motioning his clawed nails to my instrument. I got up gracefully and balacing the large instrument on my small shoulders played. He seemed content with my music ability and nodded to the beat. Barking instructions for me to keep my time and rhythm. A knock from the door interrupted him and i stopped my playing. A scowl on his face showed his disapporvement of the interuption, however another elder entered.
She was almost identical to him however she stood taller, no hunch in her back
"A guest for Mistress Oread has arrived."
"Tell them to wait, she is busy." He barked back at her, One of his eyes began to close, a sign of his anger. Even at a tender age of 28 (4 years old) i knew the signs.
"It is..... Alexander...."
"Who is Alexander? I have no knowledge of an Alexander that is important enough to...." She came up to him and whispered in his ear, a sign of understanding came into his eyes then a confusing anger.
"You heard the woman, FOLLOW HER child." he said forcefully. I quickly got up from my chair and followed.
I walked behind Elder not knowing of my fate... As i walked i past several rooma containing other children, some my age, other older. Sebastian came to the door of his room before i was even up to it. He stood there watching me and as i past followed. The elder hissed in his direction and Sebastian stopped by the staircase as i and she descended.
At the bottom of the stairs stood a hadsome man, his blonde hair the colour of gold yet it was wild and not neat like our own, he stood tall, beeming with muscles. He curled his lip at seeing me, an attempt at a smile, and pulled at the leash which was attached to a young puppy. I smiled at the puppy but remained behind my elder.
"Samuel, you may leave now. I will handle the young ones." Elder said.
"Sorry dutchess, but the Alphas said i was to watch over him... and thats what i'm gonna do." The puppy was chewing on the leash, trying to bat at a bat that was flying around.
"Tell your elders i am capab..."
"Hush it tight ***, i wouldn't be here if i didn't have to be. Now let the princess play and then i can get out of here... like both you and me want to happen." My elder sneered at him and walked to the louge room.
"They shall play here. Refreashments?"
"Don't mind if i do." With that the gentleman took a flask from his coat and a gulp from the flask. Letting the puppies leash go he sat down on one of the chairs, dirt falling off his coat, the undersides of his feet black. he took one look at me staring and motioned with his flask in his hand.
"Go, play... Have fun.... enjoy." shaking his head he went back to the flask. A quick look and a nod from elder and i walked after the puppy, trying to coax it out from under the chair.
"Here puppy." the puppy sniffed my hand, then continued chewing on it's leash.
"For..... sake....." Said the handsome man under his breath. He pulled the leash and the puppy whimpered as it came out from the chair.
"Don't hurt the poor thing." i said looking at the man with a frown
"I'm not a poor thing, i can take care of myself." i turned around to see a boy, about my age staring at me. A smudge of mud was on his cheek and an identical leash to that of the puppy was around his neck.
"Who are you?" i asked backing away from the stranger. He looked like a younger version of the guy sitting in the chair, just his eyes blue instead of brown.
"I'm Alex. Who are you?"
"Jezabelle." he tilted his head and looked at me. edging closer he sniffed at my hair.
"Jeza.... you smell nice."
"My names JezaBELLE."
"I like Jeza better, it's prettier... more like you." i smiled and pushed him.
From there we became friends, i had never had a friend... apart from Sebastian but i finally had a friend Alex. Every time we met, he would insist that i call him Alex instead of Alexander, and everytime he would come in his wolf form... bound through the door, lick my cheek then run around, his wagging tail in the air. I would follow him and eventually he met Sebastian. After a period of them trying to eat each other they became friends... and thats how Sebastian got a solid silver knife from Alex. A silver knife that ment they were now men.
Serval years later Alex came again, but unlike other times, he didn't come as a wolf, he came as a human. And walked through the doors. A knife clung to his waist. We were no longer children, that was his news and he ment it.
I shook my head and looked forward. Continuing on I reached the top of the moutained and stopped slightly and looked down. Picking a flower from a nearby tree i placed it in my hair and then continued running down the moutain. As i came down i could see the sun begining to come from over the top of the moutian.
Going faster i continued to look behind me, observing the sun as it follow Shimei and myself. We both quickened our paces. Eventually the suns path slowed as it got higher over the horizon. We reached the bottom of the moutain, barley with enough time to escape into the inerds of the caves that would have been the exit to the labyrith of tunnels underneth the moutian.
Taking a few breaths i sat down, took off my backpack and sat on a nearby rock.
"Almost there.... Just a little longer and we are there."
"How far over the plains till the village do you think?"
"A quick jog." I said smiling at her and resting against the wall. "But a nap would be nice."
Before i could get my eyes closed for long, i heard a scream. An ear peircing femine scream from the moutain labyrith. As i walked further into the cave i noticed three exits, the sound came to the right, i tried looking down it as the sound came closer, i leaned further into the tunnel to the right.
It dissapered. Sharp silence was heard. Until. Someone ran into me from behind. I flew into the tunnel i was leaning towards. Lieing face down on the floor i heard the screaming continue. I covered the mouth of the one that was screaming... the one that had ran into me from behind. finally getting up i looked into the vampire's eyes.
"Stop screaming James."
"I wasn't screaming." came his cracking voice, panick ricken in it.
"Yeah.. you were....."
"SHORI."
"SHIMEI." i looked behind me and James sprawled on the floor. Yay the lovey doves are back together.
"Man i hate the dark." came James's voice from beside me.
"Your a vampire James, act like it."
"Not until someone turns on the lights."
"James...."
"My PSP ran out of batteries.... i'm allowed to be scared, and afraid... if IT can run out of batteries... ANYTHING can happen."
he then became somewhat eratic. I grabbed him by the cuff of his collar and led him to the entrance.
"Happy now?"
"No... but i'm not scared of the monsters in the dark anymore..."
"James?"
"yes?"
"We are the monsters that lerk in the dark." i said leaning in and exposing my fangs.
"...... You know... your REALLY scary when you do that."
"Good. Makes dealing with you easier." i bagan to walk away to sit down and get some rest. leaning against the rock wall i dozed off.
