o.o Oh no, it's a romance story! Ish... More like a drama... Ish?
Anyways, a friend of mine kind of struck this idea into me, and I had to write it. I think it's really sappy... Personally, and there's no gore in it... But I figure it's okay!

Have fun reading it!

After His Death

"Silz... I'm sorry I couldn't keep the promise. I can't stay at your side after all... Please... move on and... forget about me. I love yo-"

My mind blanked out. He was leaving, Ketsu was actually leaving me. "NO!" I cried out, my mind filled with thoughts. You can't leave, you promised. You won't leave, please, don't… Unconsciously my grip on him started to tighten, but his body was turning to dust… Like vampires have to when they die.

I thought furiously, what can I do to make him stay?! I cried out, "Don't go Ketsu! Don't! You can't! You're not allowed to!" If I command him, maybe he'll stay, he listened before! He wouldn't stop listening just because he's dead right?! RIGHT?!

But whatever I did, it didn't work. I begged god, I wished with all my might, I willed against fate, I even hoped that my tears will somehow work.

My tears… They wouldn't stop flowing; I knew I had to stop. If they hit Ketsu, it'll cause him more pain, and I couldn't have that, but they wouldn't… They just wouldn't. "Ketsu… Come back, my tears… They won't stop! Kets! They won't stop!" I cried out, hoping that he'll come back for my own good. He always had, so why would this time be any different?!

But he didn't come… I should have known that he wouldn't come… He left… He really… truly… and actually… left…

Suddenly, I felt a tug at my sleeve. Kets? Is it really you? Please, let it be you… I begged him inside my mind. In my mind, I wished and hoped that he'll just be faking his death and tell me he was kidding. I can then whack him, call him a stupid jerk, and rush off. He'll chase me… And I'll be so happy… If only…

"Honey… Stand up… Don't sit in the dirt; it'll ruin your clothes." An older man looked down at me. His lightly brown hair shone slightly in the moonlight, and his eyes looked at me with true concern.

I glared at him.

"You… You…" I stood up, my mind racing, and my face flushing in anger. "I HATE YOU!"

The man looked surprised, but then his face was calm again. He smiled at me gently, trying to win me over, I think. "Come on honey, you're just shocked. You don't hate me."

My eyes widen, how STUPID was he? "I-I don't HATE you? W-why shouldn't I?!" I spoke through my tears, I felt them sometimes sliding into my mouth as I spoke. But I ignored the terrible salty taste that entered my mouth, as I yelled at the father-figured I trusted in front of me.

"You KILLED him! WHY?!" I screeched, closing my eyes tightly as the tears started to burn my cheeks.

"He was a traitor."

His face was so calm, so relaxed, like all he did was killed an insignificant fly! But Ketsu was NOT a fly. "I LOVE HIM!" I screeched again, not standing for this. "He's my HUSBAND! I love him! Why?! WHY?!"

The Vampire King stepped forward, reaching his arms out to hug me, but I stepped back, refusing him. He looked slightly shocked but once again his face smoothed over.

And I hated that.

"STOP IT! Stop looking so… So… INNOCENT! You MURDERED him! You TORTURED him!" I kept on yelling, kept on blaming him. He killed Ketsu, but not only that, before he killed Ketsu, he tortured him. Tortured him almost like Ketsu deserved it, but he didn't… I knew he didn't. "That's ALL you did! You TORTURED him all his LIFE! What did he DO?!"

During my whole rant, the King just stood in front of me. His face was emotionless now, not calm, and he looked at me with cold eyes. The calm, loving, and caring eyes that I've seen so long on him had totally disappeared. And in its placed, they left an emotionless man… No, not even man. They left an emotionless devil.

"Silviya, calm down, it's not good for your health to get this irritated." His words are meant to be caring, but I couldn't hear it now, instead I heard the fakeness in his voice, as if he was trying so hard to try to be nice to me.

It didn't work though, I knew better. I saw Ketsu's terrible state before he died, I saw HOW he died. "You don't understand… You killed him… He was a father… A perfect person… MY lover!... And you KILLED him! Keichi disappearance, was that not ENOUGH for you?! All you do is torture me! Me and Ketsu!"

"I never meant to hurt you darling, and I'm sorry for your loss."

"SORRY?! You HATED Keichi! Because he was Ketsu's kid! And you HATED Ketsu!"

"I don't hate them."

I stared at him bewildered. He was crazy, he was irrational, he was driving me insane, and he was trying to make me his puppet. That's what he's been trying to do for so long, and I almost let him. I had forgotten after all, he was part of the head of the Vamparian Government, the root of all my losses.

"Come on darling… I'll take you back home. To meet your mother, they'll help you."

I stepped back, no, I wasn't going to become a puppet. Not to the devil that killed Ketsu. Not to the devil that caused Ketsu's desperation, made Ketsu turn to a devil dealer, and made me make a treaty with the same devil dealer for Ketsu. No way. Not ever.

"Silviya?"

I took another step back, I had to run, I had to get out of here. Ketsu wasn't here, why was I? I have to go somewhere… Somewhere where I didn't I have to face all this misery… Somewhere…

I took off, I heard the King cry out my name before, but I rushed off. In the back of my mind, I wanted to kill the king, but I couldn't bring myself too. I didn't have the strength; I only had the strength to run… To run far away. Run away, that's all my mind had.

Run away…

Working on putting up chapter 2! And I should have chapter 3 done by... tomorrow... Maybe.

Hope you like the story so far!
