Sealed Blood
Chapter One - Resurrection
"OK, here's today's lunch. I'll put it in your bag." "Alright, thanks, grandma!" I said as I scoffed my breakfast down my stomach. Although grandma is really old, she always gets up early and makes my lunch for me. She has looked after me really well, since my parents have died...
"Did you have that dream again last night?" "Um, yeah." For some reason, I always have that dream of when my parents had died in that car accident. The dream was so real, that I screamed every time I have it, but when I wake, I'll be alright again. "It's nothing grandma, I'm older than you think, I'm not as weak as I used to be." "You know, hearing this does make me feel better." Grandma said, "but what worries me is why you keep having that same dream again and again." "Because that's what I saw when I was little, that was the last time I saw mom and dad, maybe I've been thinking too much about them." I smiled, but the worried look on grandma's face still remains. 'What is there to worry about? I'm just having a dream of my past, what's wrong with that?' I wanted to tell grandma that, but decided not, as I was already late for school.
When I got to school, the teacher was already in the class. I knocked on the door and went in. The teacher looked at me angrily as I walked across the room, which was on the other side. 'Why does my table has to be so far from the door?' I asked silently. "Mizuno Sora, I'll see you at the end of class." The teacher said. "Yes sir." I looked on the ground as I didn't want to see anyone laughing at me. Then I heard some familiar giggles. 'You're gonna pay for this, you little monkey!' I cried angrily in my heart.
I didn't know how long it has passed. 5 minutes? 10 minutes? I just know that I can't hold my stomach any longer. I'll have to let it rumble, but it'll be too embarassing, in the middle of him having a go at me. "You can't keep on like this! You know, taking away 5 minutes every morning would mean almost half an hour a week, 2 hours a month..." He'll go on forever if I don't stop him soon. "But it's the dream..." I began. "Dream, dream, dream, you always blame on them!..." I couldn't be bothered to listen any more. I want food!
I was so happy when he had finally let me go. I tried to walk and open the door as calmly as I could, but I need to get out of the staff room quick, my stomach is going to rumble soon! When I was out in the corridor, I let go of my stomch, then heard two familiar voices laughing. I looked up and saw Maki big brother and the little monkey, Nobunaga Kiyota.
"Food! I need food!" I begged them, I felt like I'll die soon if nothing goes in my stomach any faster. "So did everything go on alright in there?" Maki big brother asked me as he threw me an apple. I cought it immediately and took a huge bite. My stomach stoped rumbling and I felt much better. "Um, yeah, just the usaul stuff." We started to walk down the corridor.
"Heh heh, it's because you spend too long having your breakfast that you're always late!" Nobunaga said. "Hey, you cheeky little monkey!" I shouted at him. "Actually, it's because I eat too little at breakfast that I'm always hungry." I explained to him. "Did you have that dream again?" Big brother asked, caringly. "Yeah, the same dream, unsurprisingly." I said. "I'm just wondering why you keep having that dream..." "Stop worrying, you're just like grandma!" I teased him.
"And little monkey, I haven't forgotten what you did this morning." "Wha?!" "Laughing at me when I came in the class." "But it's just so funny the way you got told off by the teacher, heh heh." "Hey you!" He started to run towards the courts and I chased after him.
When I got into the courts, I was just in time to see an amazing scene. "Ow~!!" A ball had fell on Nobunaga's head. "I... I'm sorry." It was Jin senpai. "Ha ha ha!" I laughed at him, "serves you right!" "You're not suppose to laugh! It's hurting!" Nobunaga said. "Sorry..." Jin senpai said again. "Thanks, Jin senpai, you hit him for me." I smiled, "was you practising shooting again?" I asked him. "Yeah, just five more to a hundred." "You can carry on, don't need to worry about that little monkey." "OK," and he begins shooting again. "That wasn't very nice, 'that little monkey'!" "But you deserves to be called this!" I giggled. "Don't you think you should get change, we haven't got long left." "I already know that!" He yelled back at me and heads for the changing room. I went to the other side of the court and sat down leaning back against the wall. 'Yes, we haven't got much left. The HI tournament has already started and our first game is tommorrow. Altough they aren't that strong, I believe we'll meet some strong teams in the quatre finals, therefore we must work hard!'
After watching the practise for about an hour, I felt tired and decided to go home first. Usually, I would go home by the main road with big brother and the others, but because I was tired, I chosed the more quiet road, which is a short cut to my house.
It was so silent and dark on this road, makes me feel uncomfortable. Come to think of it, I've never been on this road at night. Oh, and I remember, grandma had said to me before never to come here at night, but it's too late now, I'm already on it. Suddenly, I heard a gust of wind blowing the leaves on the trees, and a few sounds of birds. I was expecting a spirit to pop up behind me, but I don't really believe in them so I carried on walking.
After a while, I heard another sound. Was that a scream or the sound of winds? I stoped walking and listened hard for the sound again. Trees shuffling and then, "Aarghh~!!!" So it was a sream! I looked all around me to try and find where the female voice had come from. Then I saw somebody running towards me from the left. A female, ...a woman. She must be the one that screamed, but why? She seems to be running away from something. She's getting closer now, and she was crying "p... please leave me alone!!" Was somebody trying to kill her?
I didn't know what to do, shall I go and help her? Before I had made my decision, the woman has already seen me and it's too late to run away.
"Excuse me..." I said as she ran passed me. She didn't even look at me, she was just looking behind with fear. And was that some blood I see on her neck? I looked in the direction where she is looking, at first I didn't see anyone, but then a tall person with long hair appeared from among the shadows. It's so dark and the person is so far away, that I couldn't even tell if it's a man or a woman.
Suddenly the woman who was running shouted back at me, "run! Don't let it come to you!" Before I had time to say anything, I saw a tree infront of her, but she didn't see it, she was still looking behind. "Watch out!!" I shouted, but it's too late, she bumped into a tree.
She fell on the ground immediately. I ran over to her. I knelt down and saw there was a lot of blood on her forehead, where she had hit the tree. "Oh my god!!" I didn't know what to do.
The wind is blowing again and I thought I heard a laughter. I looked back in the direction where the tall person was, but he was nowhere to be seen.
I looked all around me to see if there was anyone around that could help. I couldn't see far because it was so dark, so I shouted, "help! Anyone please help!!"
"Please..." It's the woman, she's not dead! But she doesn't seem she could stay very long. I tried my hardest to listen to what's she's going to say, maybe it's her last will, but her voice is so weak. "Please... get away... from... the... ..." I couldn't hear the rest, but the movement of her lips looks as if she's saying 'fa' or 'va' or was it 'wa'? Before I could figure out what she's trying to tell me, I could see that she's not breathing any more. She's dead.
I can't believe this is happening, a dead person lying beside me. What am I suppose to do now? Run away? I could see my hands are trembling, I can't run away like this!
Suddenly, I noticed the blood on her neck, which I had seen earlier. I looked closer at it. Is that two red marks undernearth the blood?
Before I realised, I was staring hard at the blood. The blood... I've seen it somewhere before. Yes, in my dream. No, it's not a dream, it was real, something that happened to me when I was little. What happened after that, after I've seen the blood? I can't quite remember clearly.
Something in my heart told me to touch the blood. Touch it, but why? 'Go ahead and touch it' a voice in my heart said. So I touched it.
The blood is warm and thick. The wind is blowing hard, I felt cold. I wonder what it would feel like if this blood goes down inside me. 'I'm sick!' I told myself, but I didn't care. I raised my fingers to my lips, and then opened my mouth... I tasted the blood.
Some how I find the blood refreshing. 'I'm going crazy!' I moved closer to the dead body. 'Would they notice if a bit of the blood is gone?' I put my mouth on her neck, where the two red marks are and started sucking the blood.
I felt the blood going down my body and making me warm. I liked the feeling of it, and began sucking it harder, until I realised what I was doing. 'What AM I doing? Am I going insane?!'
I began to vomit and cry at the same time. I can't believe it, I'm drinking a dead body's blood and I'm actually enjoying it!!'
Then I saw a familiar pair of feet. I looked up and saw grandma. She must have seen what I was doing because she looked more worried than usual.
I stood up. I wonted to hug her, but will she not want me after what I've done? I was surprised when she put out her arms. I didn't think of anything, I just cried, "grandma!!" and went into her arms.
My brain was empty... I couldn't concentrate... I just hugged grandma tighter, not wanting her to go... then I fainted.

Comments: OK, so that is how it begins. I know it's a bit sick, but I also hope you found it enjoyable ^_^. If you don't like vampires or find the story disgusting, then I suggest don't read anymore of this fanfic, cuz there'll be more disgusting stuff in later chapters!! In the fic, Sora (main character) calls Maki, big brother, Maki hasn't actually got any relations with her, she just calls him this because Maki is like a big brother to her.
