Chapter 4: Incomprehensible

Slowly I opened my eyes, seeing a scenery much different from the last one that I remembered being in. A curtain was closed around the bed that I was laying in; a white sheet laying delicately on top of me. There was a sterile smell in the air and the room was dimly lit by a light somewhere in the room beyond the curtain that shielded me from the rest of my surroundings. The room was extremely quiet and somewhat comforting.
As I began sitting up I felt such a rush in my head that I didn’t even have the strength to keep my own body sitting in an upright position and fell back down feeling short of breath. I moaned lightly bringing my hand to rest on my forehead and then allowing my arm to shift covering my eyes.
After a few more moments of lying motionless in the bed there was a quiet shuffling and then a cold hand rested upon my forehead. A little startled, I jumped ever so slightly with a gasp and opened my eyes to find a worried looking Yuki starring down at me.
“You’re finally awake. That’s very good,” She left her hand on my forehead for a few more moments and then smiled a little taking it away, “And you’re body doesn’t seem to be in shock with a fever anymore either. That’s extremely good. How are you feeling?”
I tried to sit up, and once again failed miserably earning myself another worried glance from Yuki, “I’m fine. A little bit dizzy, but that’s nothing that can’t be fixed. Ugh, and I have a throbbing headache…. Where am I?”
She smiled a little bit once again and helped prop my body up on a pillow, “You’re in the infirmary. You lost a lot of blood… Zero found you and rushed you here. We aren’t sure what happened to you,” she glanced away a little uneasily.
Closing my eyes and rubbing my temples a little bit, I tried to think back what had happened to me. My head began to hurt more and more the harder I tried to remember. There was nothing to be found in my mind about anything. The last I remembered I’d been on my way toward the stables searching for Zero; after that there nothingness. It was just all blank. Not a single detail to be found.
I sighed frustrated keeping my eyes closed, “I… I can’t remember a single thing. It’s like there’s a wall there in my head blocking it. But….”
“But what?” Yuki watched me with a nervous expression.
“Nothing, I’m blank,” I opened my eyes and looked at her in time to see her expression go from anxious and nervous to relieved.
She put her hand on my arm and stood up, “Don’t strain yourself. I should go find Zero and let him know that you’re awake. He’ll be happy to hear that you’re alright.”
I nodded and watched her leave in a hurry. Thoughts began rushing through my head as my curiosity once again got the best of me. There were so many things to question right at this moment. Like why I couldn’t remember anything beyond heading for the stables, or why Yuki seemed so anxious when I thought I might have had at least a small fragment as to what had happened in my mind. One would think she would be thankful if I did even just a little. Though, maybe it wasn’t anxiety that I saw on her face but instead worry. Another thing I couldn’t figure out is how Zero had magically found me. I had been the one looking for HIM, not vice verse. Looking out the window I tried to connect all of the pieces in my head the make sense of everything. I hated not understanding the things around me.
The more I thought the more my head began throbbing and my breathing became laborious. A throbbing pain appeared on my neck, and out of comforting habit I brought my hand to the spot only to find a portion of it covered by a large bandage. The throbbing in my head grew more painful and persistent, seeming to encourage the pain of the wound on my neck to increase as well.
A bright flash went across my eyes blinding me a little bit. I felt light headed and dizzy again and as though I was on the verge of fainting. For the life of me I could have sworn that not once in my life had I fainted or passed out, but this felt so familiar; as though it was a recent event that had occurred. Another flash went across my vision bringing with it for just a short instance the image of piercing blood red eyes staring at me.
I gasped in pain as the throbbing in my head and neck became a full on flame. My heart was pounding so hard and fast that I thought it might bust from my chest at any moment. Finding it was getting hard and harder to focus on my surroundings I placed my head between my hands. My eyes began darting from one place to the other and I started gasping for air feeling an unbearable weight on my chest.
Another image flashed before my eyes, but this time it was a familiar yet frightening one and it stayed longer playing out more like a play than anything. Zero, standing before me with blood red lustered eyes. I could feel the danger radiating from him, but no matter how much I wanted to I couldn’t seem to move away from him. Instead I made my way closer until he was within arm’s reach.
Just as quickly as it had come on, the pain and the visions vanished leaving me out of breath, energy, and with half the strength I had had before. Feeling almost like I was in slow motion I slid low in the bed and partially under the sheet that was now tussled about my legs.
My breathing was slowed but still rough, and tears ran from my eyes. I felt as though a wrecking ball had just hurdled into me and slammed me into a concrete wall; and that was putting it lightly.
The light click of a door being opened somewhere in the room brought me a little bit more back to reality and I tried to make myself look as presentable as I could after the mental attack I had just had. I was sure that I was as pale as the sheet lying across my legs.
I could hear footsteps crossing the room at a steady pace towards my little curtained off area. They stopped just outside the curtain, almost as if hesitating for a second, and then the curtain was carefully and quietly pulled open.
Zero stood looking me over for a minute and then moved closer slowly. He kept a very close eye on me as he came into arms reach of me. Involuntarily, my body moved flinched away a slight bit as he brought his hand up to touch my head. He stopped short and dropped his hands to his sides, a pained looked barley being masked on his face.
“Are you feeling ok?” he asked quietly.
I bit my lip for a moment trying to get the picture of him with those bloody eyes out of my head and tried to sound optimistic, “yes, just a little drained is all. I’ll be up and around to bother the disciplinary committee in no time!”
The corners of his mouth twitched up if only the slightest bit in a hidden smile and his face seemed to relax some as well, “As long as you don’t become a fan girl on us I don’t really care what the hell you do. Oh and you gotta avoid almost getting yourself killed as well. That would definitely be a plus to having you around,” he paused for a moment and looked thoughtful, then continued a bit hesitantly, “Do you even remember any of what happened to you?”
“No…” I bit my lip watching him, staring into his deep violet eyes. They weren’t that terrifying red like I’d seen in my attack only minutes ago. No, they were his usual beautiful color. At this moment though they seemed a little lonely and in need of comfort; they’d always had a guarded look to them whenever I chanced to peek at them in this last week since I’d known him.
Thinking back to the last dream I had had I snickered a little too myself, unable to hold back my amusement with my own teenage hormones towards this mysterious guy.
“What’s funny?” Zero asked eyeing me curiously
I waved him off self-consciously and blushing a little, “Nothing, was just thinking of something,” I paused for another second as he clearly waited for me to say more,”… Do you know anything about what happened to me?”
Zero’s body visibly stiffened and he looked a little uneasy for a moment.
I waited moments, wondering if he did know anything but was only too afraid to tell me, but then continued on, “I don’t remember a single thing about what happened. The last thing that’s even close to clear in my head is when I was about half way to the stables. Then… after that… It’s just- blank.”
His jaw was stiff, “No, I don’t know what happened to you, but Yuki sent me to find you,” he paused for a second watching me, “… She said you’d been gone for a while and she was getting worried about you. So she badgered me into tracking you down. When I found you, you were so pale and drained of blood, that I wasn’t sure if you were alive or not. You were covered as well so I couldn’t tell where any wounds could have been on your body. I panicked and ran you to the Headmaster…”
“Where did you find me?” my curiosity was once again kicking in.
“Where did I find you?” he repeated me slowly and then answered, “I… found you out in the woods, just over by the Stables.”
“Why would I have gone there?”
“How should I know?!” Zero snapped
I flinched away by instinct once again and bit my lip, “Sorry…”
He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, “Don’t worry about it. I’m just glad that you're alive…”
My head began to dully throb again as he finished his last sentence, “I agree. I’m a little afraid though. I mean since we don’t know exactly what happened to me that is.”
Zero stayed quiet and looked out the window.
As I watched him I couldn’t help but picture him that way I’d seen him in my vision, and my head began hurting worse and the pain grew faster. I had to put my head in my hands again to try and stay the pain, but my attempts were futile. I groaned quietly to myself wishing it’d stop, and Zero turned his attention to me.
“Claire? Are you alright?” He asked concerned at the pained look on my face.
It took me a moment to answer which made the look of concern on his face grow deeper, “It’s just… My head. It’s hurting. Nothing to worry about.”
My breath began coming in short gasp again as I tried to speak, but was struck by a new wave of pain inside my head leaving me utterly speechless. Small portions of scenes began flashing in front of my eyes. First, of the stable, laying in the hay, and then eventually falling asleep. I managed to open my eyes and began searching the room for the one friendly thing that seemed to come to mind at the moment, Zero.
I caught sight of his worried face for a moment, but was quickly replaced with another image of him with blood red eyes and an ominous and terrifying look smile. My eyes went wide at the side and I had the impulse to protect myself and flinched away.
“Claire?” Zero’s voice was panicked, “Are you alright?! Should I call the doctor? Or….”
A thought occurred to me as he attempted to be sure I wasn’t in need of any medical service, “Zero….”
“What? What do you need?” he was frantic at this point.
“What… what color are your eyes?”
“Huh?”
“Just… please tell me…”
“Violet, but I don’t know what that has to do with anything.”
I could tell from the tone of his voice that his face was creased with worry and curiosity.
“Violet……” I was quiet for a long moment letting everything stir in my head, allowing more flashes of what seemed to be a memory and not just hallucinations.
His eyes were violet, and in my painful memory they were blood red. But there were instants where his face would pop in and they were normal; that beautiful violet that I had grown to love even without really knowing it. If these flashes really were memories, then his eyes had changed and his mannerism had too. He had been my attacker.
“I should go and get help…” Zero murmured as he stood up right quickly.
“Zero,” I paused for a moment again as he stopped and glanced at me nervously, “… why were… why were your eyes red?”
He instantly tensed and froze,”W-what?”
“Your eyes,” I took my face from my hands but kept my eyes in my lap, “They were a bloody red when we were in the stables… it… it was scary. They weren’t your eyes.”
“In the stable?” He had to work to sound confused, I could tell just from the way he spoke, “I haven’t been in there for a while. What are you talking about?”
I glanced up at him a little bit afraid that the image would come back, “You were there. You… hugged me and then… I don’t know what then. It’s all blank. But your eyes, they were red. You weren’t yourself.”
My head ache was beginning to subside as if in relief that I was getting it out in the open and not just in my own mind.
“Claire… you…” He seemed confused but at the same time had a look to him that he knew exactly what I was talking about.
“Zero, am I just remembering a dream from when I was unconscious? Or was that real?” I watched him closely as he looked down as if to try and find the words he wanted to say. The look on his face gave him away instantly. It hadn’t been just a dream.
He had been the reason I had blacked out, but how and for what reason still managed to elude my mind. The only thing that was clear was the way his eyes seemed so fierce, it scared me.
“You’re starting to remember then?” he kept his voice and eyes low and level.
“I… I think so. I can’t seem to remember what happened after you hugged me. Zero, what did you do? What happened?”
He raised his hand to the right side of my neck and touched lightly, shooting a small pain through it. The fact that there was a wound there had completely blow over my head before. It wasn’t hurting until he brought attention to it.
“I bit you.”
Stunned I tried to let that one little sentence go through my head. I couldn’t quite get it.
“W-what?”
“Don’t make me repeat myself Claire. It’s not a fact I am even anywhere close to being proud of. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time and now you are caught in a deadly secret that you weren’t even meant to know. No one was,” Zero’s voice was low and had an almost deadly ring to it.
“A secret? I don’t understand exactly what you mean. You’re saying you bit me, but I don’t…” slowly my voice dropped out. The more I pried at the memory, the more it seemed to become clearer. I began to understand as it came more into focus behind my eyes.
Recognition was written across my face now, and as I looked at Zero, I knew he could read my expression. A light bulb went off and I knew why it was that he said he’d bitten me and that I had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Zero was a vampire.
I began to run through the clues in my head.
First off, zero was quiet and often had a deadly look about him; especially when it came to other people. Rarely did ever see him around other students unless he was required to. He was also handsome beyond belief, but then so was the night class; all of them. He was so similar to the night class, and yet they were so different that it seemed impossible to place them together once you actually knew Zero.
A thought popped into my head, could the night class be vampires too? That would make quite a bit of sense. They were the night class after all, and were always kept separate from the day class as much as possible. All of them were said to be elite students and were extremely beautiful. I had heard talk around the school that none of the day class students were allowed to even apply to transfer to the night class.
It took me a minute to actually get the words in my mind and to get the courage to ask what it was that I was asking, “Zero, are you the same as the night class?”
The glare he gave sent chills down my spine and I had to look away, “I’m nothing like those beasts in human form,” he growled at me and stood turning to leave.
He stopped just at the edge of the curtain and took a deep sigh, “I really wish you hadn’t gotten caught up in this, Claire. Just do yourself a favor and forget we ever had this conversation and that anything even happened to you. They will release you soon and then you can go back to the way things were.”
Without another word and before I could say anything more, he left. I sat there in the quiet of the infirmary for a while going over everything in my head. I would try to do what he told me; forget about everything that happened today, and move on.
