The Howling (a Vampire Knight story)

Chapter 20

We left off at the moose part. The moose is Tori. Why is she here? Is this why Chaotic wouldn't make eye contact with me; well after the water bottle throwing thing. (I end up hitting his balls.) Also Shiki unexpectedly healed my arm. My arm was wounded by a Level E... that I knew. And because I took that painkiller, my emotions have been going haywire! It didn't mix well with my other meds. Oh well; let’s begin, shall we? I’m beginning to loath talking to myself; the mean voice is lurking.

"Tori?" I stare in disbelief, "What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be...what happen?!" I shot a warning glare at Chaotic, basically telling him that he's walking on a ground with hidden quick-sand pits...again.

Chaotic lifts October and places her on his lap and then proceeds to hide behind her. He's basically hiding under her hair, mouth-to-neck, with one red eye peaking out. Guilty was written across them.(I hope Tori doesn't see this!) I narrow my eyes in return. He knew about this and didn't tell me?! This is important! "What happened?" I repeat, placing a hand on my forehead. It just got very warm in here. Tori was the first to speak. "Well the twins got me back to Arizona and as I left the airport, I fell asleep and woke up in this place called… the Council? Anyways-" "What did you say?" Chaotic interrupts Tori; the atmosphere turns very dark and heavy again. The pressure was so unbearable that I almost took a step back. Kaname, on the other hand, looked perfectly fine from the corner of my eye? Does he know about Chaotic’s past? Most likely...they are purebloods after all. The vampire world is dangerous.

"I don't know. Supposedly I was drugged and words came out...? I’m sorry I don't-" "That's enough." I cut in, covering Tori's mouth with my hand, "even though, Chaotic has an emotionless face on; his anger is rising to the point that he would like to kill everybody in this room. For your and our personal health I suggest-"

"Cassie. Don’t ever read me out loud again. Do you understand?" Chaotic spoke in his serious voice, he was standing up but with his eyes hidden from view. Oh shit!!! I look back with a cheerful (forced) smile on my face; I even added two thumbs up, "Hai!" I look back at Tori and stuck out my tongue. If I’m going to lighten this up, I have to do it very carefully.

"If they can kidnap Tori then I’m kidnapping Takuma!" I skip over to Ichijou and linked arms with him. He gave me such a bewildered look that I had to choke back a laugh. "Oi Ichijou-san~! You shall be my little slave, yes?" I winked up at with a perverted smile. "Cassie." Tori threw me the look that says “really just really”. "It's not my fault! I read too much manga! IT'S AN ADDICTION! And it doesn't help thatIchijou is like a manga-pimp!"Aidou snickers at this comment, "Manga-pimp?" "Yeahhh, man! It’s like,whenever you need something to read, he hits you up!" I replied back as if it was the most obvious thing ever. "But what I want to know the most is that when you have all the nice manga out on the shelves, where do you keep the dirty ones, eh?" I elbowed him in the stomach while winking. "Do you have Strawberry Panic under your bed? Or is it Loveless you're into?" "CASSIE!" Ichijou barks while trying to cover up his dark blush; he even places his hand over MY mouth! I rip his hand off to finish my teasing. "Naughty, naughty!" I wiggle my pointer finger at him, "you're not suppose have those kind of things in your room! Looks like I have to punish you~! <3" "YOU ARE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE A PORNSTAR!" "HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT A PORNSTAR SOUNDS LIKE?!" I yell back at Aidou with an accusing look. I’m finding out more information about my classmates then I ever needed to know!

“Umm… I feel uncomfortable-” “Sounds like a personal problem.” “YOU! OFF MY PLANET!” Tori barks just as I glomped her arm. I gazed down at her, through my bangs, and spoke in a serious voice, “You know about vampires don’t you?” “Cassie-” “Should we erase…” Ichijou cuts off Aidou as he looked between the two purebloods. “No.” Chaotic spoke before Kaname, this is his responsibility anyway. “How long have you known, Tori?” She looks at the couple before sheepishly rubbing the back of her head, “For a long time now, actually. I saw you two at the park…and you were…drinking each other’s blood.” “Oooh Tori is a peeking Tom~!” SMACK! AND THERE GOES HER VIOLENT STREAK! My arm >w<
