vampire heven : part 2 everythings falling apart

I awoke on a soft bed matted with blue sheets. I don’t remember much but I do remember seeing Daisuke in the ambulance truck. That’s it.

Suddenly, the door to the room I was in opened and appeared Hinata and her grandfather behind her.

“Oh, thank god!” she cried, as she pulled me into a big bear hug.

I didn’t know what to say. I just began to hug her back. As she cried on my shoulder, her grandfather came into full view.

“Rei?” he stated with a sympathy look.

“Yes?” I asked.

“Your brother…is in the hospital…and your mother…is…is…” he trailed off. By this time Hinata had stopped crying. Now she was patting my back. As if to comfort me. But from what?

“Where’s my mom?” I asked a little above a whisper.

“She’s…she’s…” for some reason he couldn’t get the words out. “Where is she!” I demanded.

“She’s dead.” I heard Hinata say.

“She’s dead Rei and she’s never coming back.” she stated again. But that can’t be true. I was just with her yesterday. I saw her. When she cooked me breakfast and then went to her room. And Daisuke. What happened to him? Why was he taken to a hospital? What’s happening?

“What?” I whispered.

“No she’s not! She’s not dead,” I yelled all of a sudden. “No, this is all just a bad dream! I’m dreaming!” I was panicking. This is all happening too fast.

“She’s gone Rei! She gone and you can’t bring her back!” Hinata yelled too. Why? Why is this happening to me? What did I do? Did I do something wrong? Why?!

“NO!! Don’t tell me that!” I screamed, tears were blurring my vision and I didn’t see Hinata’s grandfather walk out of the room crying.

“Then where is she? Huh?! She’s not here. Where else could she be?!” she retorted.

“She’s at home w-with my b-brother-” I was interrupted.

“Your house burned down, Rei. She was inside. Daisuke was taken to the hospital,” she said a little bit quieter.

“I-I’m sorry, Rei.”

I couldn’t think straight. My head was filled with too many thoughts. I was so confused. What should I do? If my mom’s dead as they say and Daisuke is in the hospital then…where does that leave me?

“Rei?” I could hear Hinata saying my name but I didn’t flinch. I just sat there letting the tears fall down my face.

Where am I suppose to go. I don’t have that many relatives and they all hate me. I don’t have any friends except Hinata but I don’t want to be a burden to her and her grandfather.

I’m nothing now. I have nothing. I can’t do anything about that. The only hope is that Daisuke would pull through in the hospital.

But as always luck was not on my side. The next day I went to the hospital because Hinata’s grandfather got a call saying that we needed to come.

I was sitting in Daisuke’s room where he was sleeping. It was only me. Hinata said she and her grandfather had to go clear something up with the doctor.

So as I was sitting, I was just staring at Daisuke. As his chest rose up and down in slow motion. He was covered in bandages and had a tube connecting to his mouth. He looked so pale. He had no color what’s so ever. The heart meter or whatever you call it, was beating really slow.

But then it stopped. Well I mean it just went into a straight line and made that high pitched sound. I stood up and ran over to the door and called for Hinata. She came in with the doctor and her grandfather.

“What’s wrong with him?!” Hinata asked.

The doctor pushed us out of the room and called for his nurses.

It felt like hours. I was so nervous at what was happening. Daisuke can’t be taken away for me too can he? Seconds later the doctor came out with sad eyes.

“I-I’m sorry guys. But your brother is-” he didn’t have to say much for me to get the picture. I took off in a full sprint down the halls and out the hospital doors. I ran and ran and ran until I couldn’t feel my legs. Until I was out of breath.

I found myself in the woods. I sat up against one of the trees and sobbed. I was going to sob until I had no tears left to cry. But that was going to take a while. I kept a lot of tears hidden in the past few years. And those tears were replaced with new ones in the past few days.

I couldn’t breath. I was crying so hard my head started to hurt. My heart was breaking in a million small pieces. Each piece holding their own pain. This was it. This was my fate. This is what happens when you are born a freak. You loose everything you have and then fall in oblivion. And that’s where I was heading.

Now I’m guessing your wondering what’s happening. Yes, I know, this doesn’t make any sense but let me tell you what’s been going on so far.

Lets start with me.

My name is Reiko “Rei” Mistuki and I am nine years old. I have short dark red hair and my hair is actually red. Not orange. Its red. My hair reaches down to my chin.

I have green eyes and when I change my mood they turn different colors. The rarest I’ve ever seen is probably purple. I stand two foot nine and I know, I am very short.

I have, I mean, had, one little brother named Daisuke, a mom, and a dad. My dad didn’t send me to school. He homed schooled me but I guess it really wasn’t school since he beat me to a bloody pulp for no reason. My mom never did anything about it. She didn’t cringe at the sound of my cries. She didn’t yell “stop your hurting her.” She didn’t even care.

For some reason my dad only did this to me. He would never abuse my brother. Just me. And my mom would always say “I love you honey” to him. Only him. Actually I have never heard my parents say they loved me once. I was so convinced that my parents didn’t love me. I was so sure of it.

When I was in need of comfort I usually went over to my friend Hinata’s house. But she wasn’t just my friend she was like an older sister to me. Hinata is the total opposite of me. She is optimistic, outgoing, not afraid to show her feelings to anyone and very strong-willed. I’m more of the shy person. You know the person who stands outside the crowd.

Hinata has light pink hair. Now if you look at her you would think that she was sweet and kind right? Well she is not. Believe me. She is ten years old and is three foot four. She has no siblings and has a mom and a dad. She also has a grandfather that she likes to visit every other week. He teaches her and I martial arts but unlike her parents, my parents don’t know I do this.

She would laugh with me. Cry with me.

And we’d be together for hours just sitting in the old clearing. Talking and gazing up at the sky. Wishing that something exiting would happen in our lives.

See, Hinata doesn’t have it so good either. She didn’t tell me much and I don’t like to pry, but she did tell me that her mother and father both beat her. Even once her dad tried to shot her. I feel so sorry for her. I would never want my parents to be that hateful of me.

But one misty day when me and Hinata were sitting in the clearing, we heard footsteps. I don’t know how to explain it but we both have impeccable hearing and sight. When we looked away from the sky we saw them. We saw Makoru and Kohaku. Standing there with a sword in each hand. Ready to kill us.

hope you all enjoyed. messege me about how it was. i want to know what you think. part three coming soon! ^^
