374 ♦ dreams
( unwilling vampire )

[A rather young-looking Zero, around the age of 13, has been wandering the Dome for some time, now. He has no real destination in mind, but instead is just trying to figure out where he is, in general, and how he even got here. It hardly takes much for him to grow frustrated; upset, as well, but that part won't outwardly show.

All he knows is that this place definitely is not home.

At some point he winds up near the Blood Shack. It's as if on instinct alone that he finds the place. He's already keen to the presence of blood in the air as it is with being a vampire hunter. . . . Only, it's been hardly a month since he was turned into a vampire— the very thing he now loathes with every fiber of his being. He still keeps a bandage wrapped around his throat, while also in part to hide a rather large "tattoo" on the left side of his neck.

The very heady scent of blood in the air affects him belatedly, hitting his senses like a ton of bricks. And immediately is he both desperate and hateful. He initially can't even breathe, trembling where he stands with a hand clutching his chest over his heart. The desire to enter the Blood Shack to ease just how much he's physically aching is overwhelming. His other hand moves to claw at the side of his throat where that woman sank her fangs into him. Turning him into an unforgivable monster.

. . .So he turns to run, scrambling to get as far away as he can from such horrible temptation.

He isn't fully paying attention to anyone who might be in the area, only glaring at them before sneering. His eyes are a brilliant and bloody red, unbeknownst to him.]

What are you looking at?

[ OOC: Replies will come from [info]hatefully! Also, Zero can sense vampires, just as an FYI to any who might comment. ]

[ She nods quietly, her gaze falling down, brows scrunched up. The timeline is all confused within the dream, but Yuuki hardly seems to notice that. Instead, somehow it all makes sense to her.]

Even though I- I always wanted to remember, it's painful to remember, too.

[Lifting her opposite hand up she scrubs it across her eyes.]

Because that scary person recently came for me again, I remembered what happened.

[Zero doesn't entirely know how to respond; honestly, he's left with plenty of his own questions. More so, though, it's easier to focus on her, rather than his own distress. — She's helping after all, much to him, to a degree, not even recognizing it.]

Will he ever stop?

Mm.

[ She nods ]

He's-- [Gone...? Somehow she can't really recall how outside of the fact that he was killed.] I don't think he can anymore.

I just wish it had been before. [Before her parents wound up dead due to his actions.]

That's good.

[Even if he doesn't ask how or why, or even when. Not that he isn't curious.

He murmurs, then.]

Well, everyone has things they wish hadn't happened.

[Zero most of all... it aches to know just how much he's been through. To know that he dislikes what it is he's become.

Without much thought she reaches out to take his hand within her own.]

Even though thinking about what happened is painful, there are some things I'm grateful for. [She tries to smile up at him.] Because the chairman took me in, I've been able to meet Zero.

[He does let her hold it this time, though he looks away for the moment.]

You. . . [Bitterly] And what if you could go back in time? Would you still have it play out like it did? Because that's really stupid.

I can't go back in time.

[Sometimes she wonders what ifs, but-] I was really little when my uncle attacked.

[Her gaze drops to stare at the floor. Even if she knew what was going to happen, what would her five year old self have been able to do? She hadn't even grown in her fangs yet.]

I hadn't seen the outside world before, and the only interaction I had ever had was with mother, father, and my older brother. Even if I went back in time, I don't know who I could have turned to for help. Or how to have faced someone so strong at that age.

Obviously!

[It's hypothetical of course. However that only leaves her detailed response to be more annoying.]

'Tch

[Although he's calmed down a little since she initially found him, he's plenty irritable.]

That's even more stupid, too. Being kept locked up?

[Maybe what happened is good for her after all. Which is ridiculous.]

What kind of family even does that?

[The shock and hurt that crosses her face is as clear as day. Tears are quick the burn at the corner of her eyes. Hands grabbing her skirts, her head dips down so that her bangs fall across her eyes, hiding them from view. Her fangs clench hard, knuckles pulled white and gently shake.]

Don't say that kind of thing as if you know. [Calling her family stupid, tarnishing their name in such a way.] Mother and father died protecting me. The whole time they were protecting me from uncle and the senate, and bad hunters, too.

[She's practically trembling all over, now.]

D-Don't say it like they were bad.

[Zero's knee-jerk reaction and thoughts are of regret. It wasn't in his intentions to hurt her in such a way. Beyond than just how her blood smells, or the steady pulse of her heart, is the scent of her tears, be they spilled or otherwise.]

Sorry, I—

[His eyes widen, then. The senate? Hunters? Wait. WAIT—!]

Y-Yuuki, you mean. . .

[The need and desire to try and comfort her is mixed with the irritability of before. Fury, even, as it begins to surface once more.]

It's you!

Me...?

[Her head tilts back up to look at him, tears still clinging to her lashes. But his sudden shock causes her to look up at him in surprise.]

Me, what...?

That man— It's not his lingering presence or that he's around here. It's your own!

[His arm shoots out to point a finger at her as he steps back at the same time. He can't hurt her. He can't, but this. . .!]

Why else would you speak of the senate or hunters!?

[Eyes wide, she stares at him a moment. For some reason she thought he knew. But then-- no, of course. He doesn't know. Why had she thought he did?]

Zero- [Her eyes find his, the anger and shock reflected clearly at her. She looks apologetic if anything.]

Mother... she died turning me human. I really thought that I was. I couldn't remember anything else. Not until... that is... [She lifts a hand up to her throat.] not until my brother recently returned me back.

How. . .? H-How is that even possible?

[He doesn't need to ask, though. Purebloods have such an arsenal of abilities. So much so that even in his years of training, with all of the reading he did right along side honing his physical strength, there still was so much he hasn't learned. At one point he asked his Master if there's even an end to what the pureblood vampire is capable of at all.

She's just the same as that woman, then. He can't help but think of her.

He can't even say much else at the moment. A few more unsteady steps are taken back. He severs the way their eyes had met, one hand moving to cover his own. If only it's to (try and) keep any tears from falling, or being seen. But in the end he's unable to keep any from spilling, even if he's so desperately trying that he's practically trembling. Just as the pain also is so great within his chest that he feels he can't breathe.

Traitor. She's just some traitor! He can't see past that right now, or to recognize that if what she says is the honest truth, then that means she isn't truly at fault for anything.]

[She doesn't know what to say as he takes a step back from her. His question goes unanswered. She doesn't think he really wants an explanation. It's just the shock and upset of the situation. It has her heart breaking in turn.]

I'm sorry... [Her eyes threaten to overflow. She swallows thickly to try and keep her voice from trembling, but the faint quiver is still heard. Knuckles pulled white she clutches the hem of her skirt within her hands tightly.]

I-I didn't mean to surprise you. [To hurt him...] I'm still me-- Yuuki. [So please don't turn her away. Her heart sits in her stomach as she takes a few tentative steps forward.] We're friends. Zero is... is still like family to me.

[He knows that. He does. Every last word is the truth. She is simply herself; kind, gentle, and so purely unconditional. And that's why this hurts far, far more than it already did in that moment of realization. It's why he simultaneously wants to dry her tears and make an attempt to console her, even if he's never been good at that kind of thing.

Yet he also can't.

Now both hands cover his face. His back hits the wall and he sinks down against it to the floor.]

I don't have a family. I've said that before.

[The reply nearly silent. It's more of a defense mechanism. Having a family means the possibility of being hurt all over again. Of losing everyone.]

[She watches as his back hits the back of a brick wall, before sliding down to the ground in defeat. It's difficult to swallow past the lump in throat. The defeat-- the devastation is so painfully clear. Chest heavy, she doesn't touch him. She doesn't know if he would accept that kind of thing from her right now.

He's struck her hand away before. Now, as a pureblood, she could imagine it would only be so much more so.

At a loss she doesn't know how to help. Especially when her own heart hurts. Lifting a hand up to her eyes, she tries to scrub away the tears, before she moves forward. Back to the wall, she slides down beside him. Near, but not touching. Eyes closing, she buries her face into her knees. Her voice is barely above a whisper.]

I'd be willing to be Zero's family.

[Zero can feel the extent of her emotions even amid his own. And they're too overwhelming. He isn't sure how he's even supposed to handle them all, even if, in the end, it isn't needed of him. A part of him is desperately trying to convince himself that there's nothing and no one to blame right now. Again: Yuuki doesn't remember; she isn't at fault.

So he's trying to take her offer to heart. She's the only one he has. He knows that in spite of himself. It isn't that he's obliged to do or say or feel anything.

At the very least he doesn't recoil from her for sitting down beside him. So he's trying.]

The Chairman. . .

[He starts, hands dropping to his lap, though they grasp the fabric of his pants. Still tensed.]

What about him? Did he know all this time?

[For a little bit she's quiet, unsure what to say. She's heartened that at least he's speaking with her. Even if she doesn't know in what direction the conversation will turn. Arms wrapped tightly around her legs she studies her feet.]

I don't know. I think so. [He didn't reject her upon her becoming a vampire at the least.] I don't think he believed I would turn back into a vampire again.

[It could go either way. He's making an effort to at the very least consciously remind himself that this isn't something she had any control over. Even if he's still hurt all the same.

He doesn't feel too pleased with the Chairman, though.]

Did he have some kind of connection with you or something? For a [an ex-] hunter to just take in someone like that. . .

I know he had somewhat of a connection to me, but. . . Master was so much more of a guardian. He didn't simply train me. [He hugs his knees to his chest, a bit more quiet.] I didn't think he'd be too busy.

Hunter. . . ? You mean the chairman? [What is he talking about? It seems that she's not familiar with everything. At least in the dream.]

'Someone like that...' Someone like me, you mean?

[She can still feel]

I don't know if he knew mother and father before anything. Since I wasn't allowed to talk to others or go outside. [She hugs her knees a little tighter, voice quiet.] There were too many people that wanted to hurt me. [Her uncle and the senate.]

I'm glad that he took me in, though. If he hadn't, I don't know what would have happened to me. Oniisama was still too young to look after me on his own.

[She turns her head to the side to regard Zero, though.]

The chairman cares about you a whole lot, though, Zero. Maybe because he took me in, they thought it would be a good fit for you too?

It seems a little random. I don't know.

[A small nod. He means her. While also- ]

At least he was a hunter. He stopped and took up his cover job full time. At least I think that how it is.

[Zero still is irate over how Yuuki was basically locked away. He's able enough to acknowledge her reasons, but still. He won't say anything this time.]

Maybe. [he frowns] He's still really weird, though, and can be annoying. . .

So the chairman... used to hunt down vampires? [Cover? So being the chairman at the academy... was just supposed to be a cover?]

Mm. [He's quiet for a moment.] I don't really know all of the details or anything, but it's how he knows my Master.

[Why else would he often take Zero aside so Yuuki wouldn't hear what was going on? Right?]

I think he really does enjoy doing all of the academy stuff, though.
