Hands ran over the page to the side as it gently laid down the pencil while the opposite hand shut the journal. The hands moved to push the body up from the almost cot like bed. They then pulled open a drawer and bright sea green eyes stared down at two ruby bladed daggers. These orbs slowly moved up to look out the window on the wall facing her as rain poured down while nimble hands lifted her shirt and slid the daggers to the sides of her pants and then let it drop. Her eyes slowly moved towards the door then as her ears heard movements and next the door creek open.
An older lady stood and watched her, nodding her head slightly. "It's time for your session again miss..."
The thin body shoved itself up and held the journal to her side as she moved to the door and past the lady silently. Walking down the hall with the ladies footsteps falling in behind they arrived at some stairs but heard a voice and pounding feet.
"Sister! Oh sister!" a child's voice called from behind.
Turning, silver hair flowed as a smile had graced the delicate lips on the girls face while the boy made his way up to her and the lady, breathing slightly fast.
"I made it!" He then held out his hand which in it's keep was two bright maroon colored flowers. "I got some for you today sister."
Taking them gently she smiled brightly and nodded. "Thank you, Shurui. There as beautiful as always."
The boy grinned as his big sister took his hand gently in hers, after she had put the flowers with the hand securing the book, to her side. Turning they went down the stairs with the lady leading them to a hallway that was lined with windows to show the grey skies that let ran pour down. Making there way to the door at the end the lady opened it to show a huge roomed area. Walking to the left then they went to yet another door, opening to show dull darkness as the blinds were shut but the chair swerved slightly from the body sitting in it.
"Thank you for bringing them here."
The lady bowed her head as the two siblings walked in, hand in hand. The door shut and the figure turned and smiled with green eyes that matched the younger lady standing there. Fixed, black hair laid on his head as he waved his hand towards the two seats.
"Please sit."
They did as they were told, hands unlatching as the girl stared down the guy and then slid the journal she had carried towards him on the desk. He smiled at her and then took the journal, opening it to the latest entry and was silent for a moment as he read over it.
"Hmm... I see. I see," He moved his eyes back up to look at her little brother and then her. "I know I'm Paranormal physiatrist... And that I'm supposed to help you with your problems but nothing I seem to be doing is knocking these dreams and thoughts from you."
"But their not just dreams. I know these things are real. Me and my brother aren't normal and yet we live with humans. If this is true then why can we not believe their are other things out there?"
The man laced his fingers as elbows propped on the desk. "Because this is just nonsense... I want to ask you something." He eyes locked hard with hers before trailing to her brothers. "Does you little brother have this so called... 'visions'?"
The girl glared as her brother slowly shook his head and answered quietly towards him. "No sir... I don't."
"Ah, so your sisters the only one. Miss I really don't see how I'm helping. We've talked about what was going to happen. I'm sending you to a friend I know, he should be able to help."
The man hid the smirk as it itched to show when he picked up the phone unaware of the plan running through the girls mind that sat in front of him.
Hearing a ring was the last thing before the phone was dropped as the girl quickly leapt over the desk towards him. Holding the ruby dagger in her hand and towards him. He growled without thought and shoved his chair back enough in the small room to barely dodge the dagger as it sliced his cheek.
Green eyes flashed deadly as suddenly a sizzling sound was coming from the cut.
The girl straightened herself some as she held the dagger at ready. "Your one of them aren't you." She said with a shaken voice. "Aren't you!"
He grinned and nodded, making her pause and jerk her head back some, surprised she was right.
"I'm surprised you figured it out... I've been here for quite some time."
"I put some things together."
"Well it is about feeding time... Maybe I can have some fresh type. These work ladies become old fast." He seemed to float into a standing position and then was quick to move at her.
Shocking her, green orbs flew open as she stumbled back to the desk but jammed at the dagger towards him, only to have him side step and lunged over the desk towards the freighted boy that sat frozen as the man quickly had fangs and shoved his head to the side only to bring his own down, driving his fangs into his neck.
The boy opened his mouth to scream but no words were audible while the girl stood there, letting her mind reel in what was happening before she climbed over the desk and raised her dagger to slam it into his back. Lowering her arms seemed in slow motion as he swung around knocking her into a wall, a stand tumbling over and suddenly hitting her in the head as green eyes met green eyes.
The man had hunched down and now smirked towards her.
"Fine... I'll have you first so your brother will be a more peaceful dessert."
She narrowed her eyes as he drew close, his hand holding her cheek. "I won't let you!" Was the last things she remembered screaming as she drove the dagger up and to the mans stomach.
He began gagging as the sudden smell of burning flesh filled the room. He backed up, her eyes watching, wide and shaking. She stumbled up quickly as she let the dagger stay in his stomach while she jumped past him and shoved open his desk. Finding what she wanted, her hands stumbled and shook uncontrollably as she struck the many matches she had on the box and then threw them to the floor by the things head.
Dropping the box she grabbed her brothers hand around the desk and flung open the door.
"Come on Shurui!" she hollered as she yanked him with her. Eyes frantically searched the area and found what she wanted and her feet began moving them to it.
Soon as she was close enough to the exit from her fears she stumbled to a stop when a few women’s were glaring her down. Pale skin glowing in the dark main room. She felt her brothers hand cling tighter and she shoved past the women, punching one in the stomach here and there and finally shoving the door open. Turning around on the side walk she pulled her brother close as the women began to move out but suddenly stopped as they hissed towards her. Blinking she looked up towards the sun that was barely showing through rain clouds and then back at them as they shielded there eyes and wrinkles started showing until they backed into the building and it became normal again.
The man was heaving out breaths as he held the ruby dagger in his hands, a dark liquid running down off it.
"You better run... 'cause I'm coming for you. I'm not going to let you get away with this and you aren't going to share our secret. Your not going to make it very far... So go... Go ahead and waste your energy running." he finished and began laughing so cold that she seemed frozen to move until she felt a tug.
Her brother pulled her away and they then began running. Night was close and if he healed to quickly they would all be on their trail. Shoving faster they began to try and find shelter from the dark that now wanted to consume and get revenge on them.
Eyes slowly opened and moved to look at shy green and blue ones. The face giving a smile as the body shoved itself slowly up. "I'm alright Shurui... Are you okay?"
Shurui then looked down and sighed. "I feel kind of sick in the stomach but maybe I'm just hungry."
She watched him and then slowly put her hand on his forehead and then let it slide to his cheek as her other hand came up to his other cheek. "I'm so glad your alright."
"I am sister, please don't worry about me."
She pulled him into a hug and then kissed the top of his head as her hands slid to his shoulders, pushing him back to look at him. She blinked then though as she felt something sticky on his clothing. Pulling her left hand away she let her eyes widen as she saw blood dripping from him. Shifting light blonde locks she then saw the marks. Shurui's eyes moved to her hand and then back at her as he gulped.
"Sister... Sister I'll be alright won't I?" he asked with a shaky voice. For a moment he didn't get a answer so he grabbed her hands and made her look at him. "Sister! I'll be alright won't I?! I don't want to be bad! Tell me I'll be alright sister! Sister, please!" he shouted as tears formed in his eyes.
She hesitated but then swallowed hard as she looked at his eyes. She pulled him to a tight hug and then sighed gently as she pulled him to stand up as she did the same.
"We have to get out of here before the guy comes for us with whatever help he has."
She held his hands and looked around the run down looking building her little brother had managed to get her into to. Tugging gently they began out the door that hung askew and into the light mist of liquid falling from the dark night sky. Watching the moon rise for a moment she looked at her brother who was still looking back at her with frantic eyes, trying to receive answers that would never come.
And so they began running into the night, he hadn't came for them just yet. Green eyes searched roads as they ran, hopping the man would need more time to heal or that she had gotten him enough to dispose of him. Whatever the thought she wanted him to stay away as long and as far as possible.
The feet stopped after a moment. Red eyes stared towards the mirror then before him. Growling he grabbed a book near by and chucked it towards it, the sound as it shattered ringing out.
"Damn him to the fiery pits of hell! Damn him for eternity! This can't be happening!" the voice growled deeply under it's breath.
Staring at the doors then that opened as a huge built figure had came to check what was the noise and then slowly going to close the door again only to be stopped by the voice of the one that had been pacing.
"Wait... You sir," he called, drawing the muscular man back into the room and blink at him. "I need to ask you something," he spoke calmly as he strode towards him.
The man eyed him, figuring he was up to something but never expected that he would next be on the ground as the figure had jammed his elbow into his stomach and a knife towards his heart. Black spiky hair bounced as the young man did while spinning just once to miss touching the body and then it began bouncing again as the body began jogging down a hallway and opening a door to run down another hall way, heading towards the huge double stairs only to come to a fast stop as more pale men began showing.
Narrowing his eyes, he slowly bent his knees, bringing his fists up. "Alright... I can see I'm not getting out the hard way."
The suddenly ran at him, seeming to be invisible spots but one appeared above him, making him roll quickly forward. Jerking his head back he had to bring out another concealed knife from his shoes side and hold it against a sword that came down. Knowing the tiny knife wouldn't stand much of a chance he swung his body around to kick towards the figure, connecting and slamming him back a good distance. Jumping up he turned and began running with almost inhuman speeds towards the stairs and then down them. Seeing the second to last door he was only inches from, that kept him from his freedom. Then another figure seemed to just appear in front of him.
Narrowing his eyes he brought his fists up as the other did also.
'One of the lord's bodyguards by the way they were dressed no doubt.' he thought to himself as he quickly attacked then.
The bodyguard moving and going to slam his fist down to his back only to have the nimble figure twist around, palming the ground with one hand and bringing his arm up to block the guards.
The guard smiled at him, making him confused for the split second he needed to bring his knee up. His eyes widening as his wind was knocked from him for the moment, bringing him down to his knees and other hand. The guard lifted him up by the back of his shirt and pants as it was nothing, red eyes wide and glittering with evil as a smirk grew when he spun a few times and then shot him towards the stairs, making him land oddly on them.
He twitched but quickly got himself up, knowing he needed to and went to move only to feel a sudden pain rocket through his body. Looking at his arm he saw it half twisted the way it wasn't supposed to be. Forgetting it for the moment he turned his glance back to where the guard was. His eyes growing as he had disappeared, hearing a deep chuckle behind him he whipped around, stumbling on the last few stairs and skidding back. The arm that was twisted making bones grind as it hit the floor. Quickly shoving himself up with his one good arm left he watched but then turned and started running to a window.
The last thing he remembered was the sound of shattering glass and then ground beneath him. Screaming in his mind and clenching the ground as best as he could with the good hand he felt the pain begin to flood his mind and his eyes opened to look at a ground that was slowly becoming red as blood covered his vision.
Looking up at towards the window he jumped his eyes traced up the mountain he had leapt from, normally killing instantly anyone else who would have tried it. Hearing noises from the huge bridge that was built from the castle to more lower ground, he moved himself up and then bent his knees, weighing himself as his other hand held his arm still while he leapt into the air to the trees and as further away as possible.
Then there was a knock.
Letting out a grumble and huge breath the figure straightened himself just as the door opened and a figure walked in.
"And what pleasure do we owe this so unwanted visit." The voice said with venom, making sure he got his point across.
"Ah... Sir," the man hesitated and then just figured he would get it out. "We haven't found him and it's been... well you know how long time has gone sir."
The figure standing behind the woman at the seat thought and then tapped his chin with fingers that were nimble and had long nails on them. "I suppose your right. And my time has flew by hasn't it? Hmm... Very well, keep about twenty men searching until I say otherwise though."
The man nodded and then quickly left, feeling in the air he wasn't wanted.
The woman turned slowly and her hand moved up and across his chest. Eyes coming down to meet her lustful ones. He shook his head and slowly took her hand away.
"Not now... I'll make it up to you later..." he then strode off, leaving a slightly pouting pale woman sitting there.
"But my legs ache and my stomach is feeling horrible. I feel like I'm going to get sick." whined a young voice.
The one in front stopped and sighed as it turned and looked down at her little brother.
They had made it now quite a few towns away from the town with the vampire and he hadn't come yet. Hope would come to mind every now and then and thoughts that she had managed to kill him would come. But the nightmares were telling other wise. And that was just two times of rest.
Moving to pick up her brother her legs were feeling like jelly but they had to continue.
"You rest. Soon as we hit the next town I promise I'll get you the biggest ice cream you want. And I'll get you whatever else you want too..."
"Hmm... ice... cream..." came mumbles but the eyes were quickly shut as the small, exhausted body gave out.
She let a sigh come from her lips as they continued, pushing her will to the limit and finally made it to the next town, sure she was going to pass out, but saw a church up ahead and suddenly had hope since they had to let in anyone. Making sure not to wake her brother as she pulled them to the doors, she knocked and then shoved a huge one open with the little strength she had left and walked in.
Looking around and then down the aisle as a man in a robe came walking towards her she began to mouth something but suddenly began to pass out forward. The robed figure caught her in time, laying her down and shifting her brother from her back. Running off quickly to get help to get them more comfortable and food ready for when they woke.
"It... Looks so good..." the voice uttered under its breath and then leaned towards the exposed neck. Silver hair moved as the figure turned, green eyes meeting the red and slowly widening.
"Shuru-" she shouted but was caught off by a holler as the little boy jumped at her with amazing speeds.
Quickly rolling to dodge she scrabbled herself up and turned to looked as she was being backed into a corner by the fanged, red eyed boy in front of her.
"Y-your... not my b-brother..." she stuttered out her words as she hit the wall. "Y-Your not! This is a dream! I'm dreaming!"
Going to close her eyes she just shrunk down as the boy lunged at her again, rolling almost head over heels backwards she looked up to what had the body of her little brother clinging by one hand and leg to a rafter.
"Sister... Come. Please play with me!" he yelled as he disappeared when he jumped at her.
The room became silent as she franticly searched around, her hands trembled as the felt something solid at her side. Her mind racing to think of what it was but then being tackled. Fangs bared towards her face as red eyes were wide.
She struggled against him, feeling his arms were much stronger when he normally wasn't, but rolling her body she thought she had him pinned until he grabbed her hair with a claw looking hand. The nails hitting her scalp and the other helping to shove her head to the side as he face dove towards her neck.
"No!" was the last thing said in the fight as a liquid was hearing splattering.
Shaking, feeling the grip loosen, eyes slowly opened to see her brothers face staring at hers. His lips moving slightly as he saw the blood splattered on her face, which used to be his own.
Her eyes slowly widened as she watched him, her hand which was shaking violently removing from the dagger that was now plunged in the small boys heart. Backing off him, she shook her head as her hands were on her cheeks.
"Shu... Shuru...rui," she began speaking softly. When he looked at her with a small smile and his skin began loosing color she bundled him to her in a tight hug, careful not to hit the dagger. "Shurui! No! Don't go! I didn't mean it! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!"
Burning her face to his cheek her body was heaving as a few men in robes came in, their eyes widening as they began muttering to each other, a few disappearing and a few coming to her. She looked up at them, blood smeared on her face with the tears.
"You have to save him! You can save him! He's still alive!"
One robed figure, a slightly younger then the others bent down and reached over, his hand checking a pulse and shaking his head as the girl barely had watched his hand move to check a pulse.
She cried out as she had leaned back then, pulling the body closer to her. "No! Your lying! He's still here! He's alive! He's with me!" she managed to cry out.
'People say that most would have died themselves. They were right. Your world fades into a darkness that only that other person could pull you from. But their gone now and who should mess with the dead and try and bring them back... Oh wait... I do... For my soul... before it shatters completely into darkness...'
A voice sighed as the robed figure sat the tray next to her and walked off, shutting a door at the side of the main room in the church. Only a few moments later it was heard opening as another figure walked out. The robe hanging as the old man stood by the girl staring out the window to the night rain.
"I need you to come with me miss..." He said softly to her, making her move her head from the window for once and look towards him.
"Why should I?" she asked a bit roughly. Her lips were dry and her voice sounded slightly cracked from the so recent crying.
"I have something you may want to see..." he voice drifted out as she blinked. His eyes seeming to do something to her mind as she stared to his. Having not moved any other time her feet were now gently touching the ground from the window seat as she followed him while he walked towards his preaching stand.
Her eyes wandered almost lazy towards him as he pulled out a book from his sleeves that hung over his hands and arms. Holding it to her she watched the black book catch a slight light and show a cross on it.
"This... I think, belongs to you."
Blinking twice she then looked up towards the old man. "I never had such a thing." She was about to turn back around and head to her window sill to rot in herself when a gently hand held her there. Green eyes swerving back to the old man she blinked once more as he had laid the bible down and now held a shiny looking cross on a chain.
Her eyes watched it for a moment but then knew what it was. "Ruby..."
"Correct... Here..." He reached wrinkled old hands around her neck and under the loads of silver hair hanging, latching it and then standing back and smiling kindly. "Please wear it always... Now if you'll wait here for just a moment."
She slowly nodded, watching him walk off and then through a door. Her eyes drifted back to the little black bible sitting on the stand and her hands moved almost on there own as she grabbed it.
Running a finger over the cover she then opened it only to let go when a bright light emerged itself and covered the room.
She screamed as hard as she could but no voice came out. After only a second a calm washed over her mind as she heard many voices around. Keeping her eyes closed, she didn't see the bible floating in front of her as words from a forgotten launge swirled around the room and mainly around her.
"Miya..." A few voices called and then a few more. "Miya... You are the one..." The voice almost sounded angelic.
After a bit more of the voices her chest heaved out as her arms hung limply to her sides, her head hanging back as well. A sudden, unexpected uldation of power sucked into her chest making her gasp but keep her eyes closed as her body stayed the way it did.
After a moment she slowly began to float to the ground, but unknowing to her as she was now knocked out. The robed old man walking in at the time along with a few more, nodding then.
"Prefect."

These thoughts, dreams... visions... what ever you would like to call them... they are becoming more frequent, as if trying to tell me something. I can't help but hear the screams I do in my nights sleeps. I don't believe I'm crazy... I know I'm not... But what am I to do with the thoughts that seem to draw to me... Especially if I can't get rid of them?Hands ran over the page to the side as it gently laid down the pencil while the opposite hand shut the journal.

"Sis... Sister. Please sister answer me. Are you alright?" a small voice asked as it shook the soaked figure.Eyes slowly opened and moved to look at shy green and blue ones. The face giving a smile as the body shoved itself slowly up. "I'm alright Shurui... Are you okay?"
Shurui then looked down and sighed. "I feel kind of sick in the stomach but maybe I'm just hungry."
She watched him and then slowly put her hand on his forehead and then let it slide to his cheek as her other hand came up to his other cheek. "I'm so glad your alright."

Feet paced the floor as a hand was fisted and continued to beat into a flat one every now and then as different thoughts would come and go from the mind that was reeling under spiky black hair. Boots sounding against the carpeted floors. The dark red shirt clinging tightly to show a built torso, while black pants hung loosely around the legs yet stayed attached to the waist.The feet stopped after a moment. Red eyes stared towards the mirror then before him. Growling he grabbed a book near by and chucked it towards it, the sound as it shattered ringing out.
"Damn him to the fiery pits of hell! Damn him for eternity! This can't be happening!" the voice growled deeply under it's breath.
Staring at the doors then that opened as a huge built figure had came to check what was the noise and then slowly going to close the door again only to be stopped by the voice of the one that had been pacing.
"Wait... You sir," he called, drawing the muscular man back into the room and blink at him. "I need to ask you something," he spoke calmly as he strode towards him.
The man eyed him, figuring he was up to something but never expected that he would next be on the ground as the figure had jammed his elbow into his stomach and a knife towards his heart. Black spiky hair bounced as the young man did while spinning just once to miss touching the body and then it began bouncing again as the body began jogging down a hallway and opening a door to run down another hall way, heading towards the huge double stairs only to come to a fast stop as more pale men began showing.
Narrowing his eyes, he slowly bent his knees, bringing his fists up. "Alright... I can see I'm not getting out the hard way."
The suddenly ran at him, seeming to be invisible spots but one appeared above him, making him roll quickly forward. Jerking his head back he had to bring out another concealed knife from his shoes side and hold it against a sword that came down. Knowing the tiny knife wouldn't stand much of a chance he swung his body around to kick towards the figure, connecting and slamming him back a good distance. Jumping up he turned and began running with almost inhuman speeds towards the stairs and then down them. Seeing the second to last door he was only inches from, that kept him from his freedom. Then another figure seemed to just appear in front of him.
Narrowing his eyes he brought his fists up as the other did also.
'One of the lord's bodyguards by the way they were dressed no doubt.' he thought to himself as he quickly attacked then.
The bodyguard moving and going to slam his fist down to his back only to have the nimble figure twist around, palming the ground with one hand and bringing his arm up to block the guards.
The guard smiled at him, making him confused for the split second he needed to bring his knee up. His eyes widening as his wind was knocked from him for the moment, bringing him down to his knees and other hand. The guard lifted him up by the back of his shirt and pants as it was nothing, red eyes wide and glittering with evil as a smirk grew when he spun a few times and then shot him towards the stairs, making him land oddly on them.
He twitched but quickly got himself up, knowing he needed to and went to move only to feel a sudden pain rocket through his body. Looking at his arm he saw it half twisted the way it wasn't supposed to be. Forgetting it for the moment he turned his glance back to where the guard was. His eyes growing as he had disappeared, hearing a deep chuckle behind him he whipped around, stumbling on the last few stairs and skidding back. The arm that was twisted making bones grind as it hit the floor. Quickly shoving himself up with his one good arm left he watched but then turned and started running to a window.
The last thing he remembered was the sound of shattering glass and then ground beneath him. Screaming in his mind and clenching the ground as best as he could with the good hand he felt the pain begin to flood his mind and his eyes opened to look at a ground that was slowly becoming red as blood covered his vision.
Looking up at towards the window he jumped his eyes traced up the mountain he had leapt from, normally killing instantly anyone else who would have tried it. Hearing noises from the huge bridge that was built from the castle to more lower ground, he moved himself up and then bent his knees, weighing himself as his other hand held his arm still while he leapt into the air to the trees and as further away as possible.

Hands ran down the soft skin of the fragile looking figure that sat at the vanity, staring at it with a smile. The owners hands running around more as lips moved down the cheek to the neck and to the shoulder. One hand roaming to the breast in front as the other ran up the thigh, under the dress.Then there was a knock.
Letting out a grumble and huge breath the figure straightened himself just as the door opened and a figure walked in.
"And what pleasure do we owe this so unwanted visit." The voice said with venom, making sure he got his point across.
"Ah... Sir," the man hesitated and then just figured he would get it out. "We haven't found him and it's been... well you know how long time has gone sir."
The figure standing behind the woman at the seat thought and then tapped his chin with fingers that were nimble and had long nails on them. "I suppose your right. And my time has flew by hasn't it? Hmm... Very well, keep about twenty men searching until I say otherwise though."
The man nodded and then quickly left, feeling in the air he wasn't wanted.
The woman turned slowly and her hand moved up and across his chest. Eyes coming down to meet her lustful ones. He shook his head and slowly took her hand away.
"Not now... I'll make it up to you later..." he then strode off, leaving a slightly pouting pale woman sitting there.

"You have to hold on, just a bit further." a voice breathed out eventually."But my legs ache and my stomach is feeling horrible. I feel like I'm going to get sick." whined a young voice.
The one in front stopped and sighed as it turned and looked down at her little brother.
They had made it now quite a few towns away from the town with the vampire and he hadn't come yet. Hope would come to mind every now and then and thoughts that she had managed to kill him would come. But the nightmares were telling other wise. And that was just two times of rest.
Moving to pick up her brother her legs were feeling like jelly but they had to continue.
"You rest. Soon as we hit the next town I promise I'll get you the biggest ice cream you want. And I'll get you whatever else you want too..."
"Hmm... ice... cream..." came mumbles but the eyes were quickly shut as the small, exhausted body gave out.
She let a sigh come from her lips as they continued, pushing her will to the limit and finally made it to the next town, sure she was going to pass out, but saw a church up ahead and suddenly had hope since they had to let in anyone. Making sure not to wake her brother as she pulled them to the doors, she knocked and then shoved a huge one open with the little strength she had left and walked in.
Looking around and then down the aisle as a man in a robe came walking towards her she began to mouth something but suddenly began to pass out forward. The robed figure caught her in time, laying her down and shifting her brother from her back. Running off quickly to get help to get them more comfortable and food ready for when they woke.
- - -
Mumbles were heard as a body shifted, and then the one right beside it. Red eyes snapped half way open and then opened all the way. Looking at the figure next to it, a smirk began to grow as it bit its lip, small fangs growing and drawing blood."It... Looks so good..." the voice uttered under its breath and then leaned towards the exposed neck. Silver hair moved as the figure turned, green eyes meeting the red and slowly widening.
"Shuru-" she shouted but was caught off by a holler as the little boy jumped at her with amazing speeds.
Quickly rolling to dodge she scrabbled herself up and turned to looked as she was being backed into a corner by the fanged, red eyed boy in front of her.
"Y-your... not my b-brother..." she stuttered out her words as she hit the wall. "Y-Your not! This is a dream! I'm dreaming!"
Going to close her eyes she just shrunk down as the boy lunged at her again, rolling almost head over heels backwards she looked up to what had the body of her little brother clinging by one hand and leg to a rafter.
"Sister... Come. Please play with me!" he yelled as he disappeared when he jumped at her.
The room became silent as she franticly searched around, her hands trembled as the felt something solid at her side. Her mind racing to think of what it was but then being tackled. Fangs bared towards her face as red eyes were wide.
She struggled against him, feeling his arms were much stronger when he normally wasn't, but rolling her body she thought she had him pinned until he grabbed her hair with a claw looking hand. The nails hitting her scalp and the other helping to shove her head to the side as he face dove towards her neck.
"No!" was the last thing said in the fight as a liquid was hearing splattering.
Shaking, feeling the grip loosen, eyes slowly opened to see her brothers face staring at hers. His lips moving slightly as he saw the blood splattered on her face, which used to be his own.
Her eyes slowly widened as she watched him, her hand which was shaking violently removing from the dagger that was now plunged in the small boys heart. Backing off him, she shook her head as her hands were on her cheeks.
"Shu... Shuru...rui," she began speaking softly. When he looked at her with a small smile and his skin began loosing color she bundled him to her in a tight hug, careful not to hit the dagger. "Shurui! No! Don't go! I didn't mean it! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!"
Burning her face to his cheek her body was heaving as a few men in robes came in, their eyes widening as they began muttering to each other, a few disappearing and a few coming to her. She looked up at them, blood smeared on her face with the tears.
"You have to save him! You can save him! He's still alive!"
One robed figure, a slightly younger then the others bent down and reached over, his hand checking a pulse and shaking his head as the girl barely had watched his hand move to check a pulse.
She cried out as she had leaned back then, pulling the body closer to her. "No! Your lying! He's still here! He's alive! He's with me!" she managed to cry out.
'People say that most would have died themselves. They were right. Your world fades into a darkness that only that other person could pull you from. But their gone now and who should mess with the dead and try and bring them back... Oh wait... I do... For my soul... before it shatters completely into darkness...'

She shoved away the food as misted over, green eyes stared out the window. Tear stains down the cheeks. A blanket wrapped around the small body, tightly.A voice sighed as the robed figure sat the tray next to her and walked off, shutting a door at the side of the main room in the church. Only a few moments later it was heard opening as another figure walked out. The robe hanging as the old man stood by the girl staring out the window to the night rain.
"I need you to come with me miss..." He said softly to her, making her move her head from the window for once and look towards him.
"Why should I?" she asked a bit roughly. Her lips were dry and her voice sounded slightly cracked from the so recent crying.
"I have something you may want to see..." he voice drifted out as she blinked. His eyes seeming to do something to her mind as she stared to his. Having not moved any other time her feet were now gently touching the ground from the window seat as she followed him while he walked towards his preaching stand.
Her eyes wandered almost lazy towards him as he pulled out a book from his sleeves that hung over his hands and arms. Holding it to her she watched the black book catch a slight light and show a cross on it.
"This... I think, belongs to you."
Blinking twice she then looked up towards the old man. "I never had such a thing." She was about to turn back around and head to her window sill to rot in herself when a gently hand held her there. Green eyes swerving back to the old man she blinked once more as he had laid the bible down and now held a shiny looking cross on a chain.
Her eyes watched it for a moment but then knew what it was. "Ruby..."
"Correct... Here..." He reached wrinkled old hands around her neck and under the loads of silver hair hanging, latching it and then standing back and smiling kindly. "Please wear it always... Now if you'll wait here for just a moment."
She slowly nodded, watching him walk off and then through a door. Her eyes drifted back to the little black bible sitting on the stand and her hands moved almost on there own as she grabbed it.
Running a finger over the cover she then opened it only to let go when a bright light emerged itself and covered the room.
She screamed as hard as she could but no voice came out. After only a second a calm washed over her mind as she heard many voices around. Keeping her eyes closed, she didn't see the bible floating in front of her as words from a forgotten launge swirled around the room and mainly around her.
"Miya..." A few voices called and then a few more. "Miya... You are the one..." The voice almost sounded angelic.
After a bit more of the voices her chest heaved out as her arms hung limply to her sides, her head hanging back as well. A sudden, unexpected uldation of power sucked into her chest making her gasp but keep her eyes closed as her body stayed the way it did.
After a moment she slowly began to float to the ground, but unknowing to her as she was now knocked out. The robed old man walking in at the time along with a few more, nodding then.
"Prefect."
