The Lost Prince's

Chapter 15 For A Friend (part1)

This afternoon I was a little surprised to find Shane on the roof

the Humphire library building. He was crouching near the guardrail with

holding a reconnaissance binocular.I approached him out of curiosity.

“You're looking for someone?”

“Ah, no”, timpal Shane looked surprised to see me at

behind him. “I mean yes. I'm looking for someone”

“Who? Cewe ya?”

“Not. Prince vampire”

My ears almost jumped because I didn't expect the same

one answer Shane. “Eeeh?! P-prince? You mean the missing prince?”

Shane nodded.

“Why are you looking for it”

“You think he's not here?” Shine.behind asked.

“If he's hiding, I think he won't

come to a school?”

“I think so too. Rumors about the prince

it's in Humphire already spreading. That's why I'm curious too, just in case he

true is here”

The lost prince, according to information he injected

his shadow. So we can't be sure what the shadow prince looks like

the vampire now. Plus the consequences of his actions eating the heart

his fiancee, she might have a much different appearance from

appearance first. His color and physical features are currently unknown to anyone.

Egitu said Ario.

“So, who do you think?”, I asked, leaning against the fence

then look down, to the crowded garden and cafeteria area.

“How about him?” Shane asks for an opinion, while

pointing to a pale-skinned vampire with dark brown hair dangling

and the sparkling emerald green eyes. “Arion?”, I murmured in disbelief.No, no,

I also had time to think Ario was that prince. “Oh, not Arion”

“Why is that? He looks suspicious”

“Arion a halfblood”

“Eh?! Really?!”

I nodded in agreement. Shane looked just as shocked

with me when I hear this. Arion has a big shadow and obviously he is

have a strong talent. Anyone would think that he was a

purebloods.

“It was beyond expectations. Well, so who else is the person

suspicious here?”

After sweeping the surrounding view a few times, we

he also got several names of prospective suspects and finally agreed

the most suspicious among the candidates. Leith Longsword's.

“If he's right then what's your plan?”

“No. For now I'm just watching and

report to headquarters. But we have to be careful of everyone

probable. The existence of the prince could be a threat to human”

I cast my gaze at Leith, the haired vampire

white is slightly wavy, not neatly combed. His eyes are almost gray

white as if the color is faded. He sat on a corner bench with some

vampire schoolgirls. Usually he prefers to be alone in the back garden or in the garden

building roof. I don't know why he seems to have changed.

“By the way, Key. Would you come to prom

with me?”

“Eh? Prom?” I was confused by the question

suddenly this. What prom? I never even heard of it.

“Next week will be held annual prom. Come over

with me, ok?”

“T-wait..aku..”.

Shane's gone without giving me a chance to answer. It

waving his hands while rushing towards the door. Of course he knew I would refuse. Considering my condition

now that is often lost consciousness. Not to mention the bad mood due to the quarrel

great with Zero a few days ago. I actually left today

school to get away from him. I don't know how many times we fought

because of the same topic. This time I crossed the line of patience

Zeros.

"Ok, fine! Yeah, you're right!I'm no different than that junk vampire! I

he wants what he wants! I want your blood! And I won't

let you go because I want to keep you to myself!! And you will

obey me! Satisfied now?!!”, shouted Zero. His eyes grew and turned red

full-out anger.

Something felt like a landslide in my chest. My knees

losing power. I found myself trembling hearing Zero's anger.

Which makes absolutely no sense. Why am I surprised about this?

Didn't I expect it? Isn't this exactly what I thought

about Zero?

"H-hey...Zero, you mustn't yell at a girl" said Arion, trying to calm his sidekick.

"He was expecting it" Zero turned around and walked out of the house. He's headed inside

Outside was scorching, yet lightning was seen striking some

times split the sky. I can't ignore Arion trying to melt

ambience. I stopped the trembling at my feet, raising my gaze at the

Karen.

“You heard that? Now can you say that

he won't do it?”

“But he really won't.”

“Enough! He said it himself, Karen. Him

wants blood. There is no guarantee that he will not

wants your blood!”

Karen's not chiming. He decided to shut up, though,

understand that nothing can change my opinion now. But I am too

you know, Karen didn't change her opinion about Zero one bit. Him

trusting him. Running out of patience, I got out of my chair and walked

towards stairs. Get off the roof. Lightning still strikes many times

the sky without clouds. I heard the familiar footsteps approaching me.

“She said it out of anger. You know that too, right?’

“You're on his side, Arion”

“I know him. He may be a bit of a jerk, but he's

not a person like that”

I chose silence, not responding. Arion took a deep breath.

“You also already know the true nature of Zero, right

wasn't he? That's why you're still here even though he said something like that”

“Arion, I don't care what will happen to me”,

my word. “My life ended the night vanBlood changed me. I don't care about

what did that jerk Zero plan on me. Things will not be

better even if I'm not here”

Arion's eyes are enlarged, there is a sad shadow behind the retina

the emerald is crystal clear. “So, are you worried about Karen?”

I'm nodding. “There is nothing I can do about

I turned into a vampire. I almost lost it all, Karen

what is left of what is precious to me. I want him not to get involved with

vampirism. I want him to live a normal life like everyone else. I don't want to

dragging him into my troubles”

“But, Key, it was actually Karen who dragged you inside

all this”, said Arion. “I know I shouldn't have said this, but

the fact is if it wasn't for Karen you wouldn't be in your situation right now”

“You really shouldn't have said it”, my hiss

infuriated. Arion could have said that.

“”Maaf”, he muttered regretting his own words. “I

I don't really understand how the brothers are

because I don't have. But isn't it normal to feel annoyed or jealous in

between brothers?”

“Do you want to say I might hate him for what he

happened?”

Arion looked doubtful, but he nodded.

Ah, Arion has always been like this. So honest and warm.

It's not hard to tell my true heart, if it's on Arion. “I

don't hate him”, I said. “There were really times where I felt annoyed

by having him as a brother. I am jealous of a lot of things too

about her. I admit it. But now we only have each other. I

not willing to waste my time on childish feelings like before

any more. Besides I don't have much time”

Arion looked at me for a long time. At first I thought he was just

find out if I'm lying. But his eyes said he was angry. “Entry

you think that every time you say something like that, you hurt

your buddies? You just made my heart hurt, Key”

“What did I say?” I don't get it. What

piss him off?

“You always have, Key. Saying as if you'll soon

die, as if you were just waiting for time, as if we were going to let it happen!”

Ah..About that yes, my mind. I didn't say that thing

wrongful. It's like that. I just hang on waiting for the time to get my revenge

and for my death. That's if I can still survive.

“For God's sake, Key! I won't let you die!”

Arion said it firmly. Her emerald green eyes seemed to glow with

determinedly.

I smiled a little. Arion is different. She will

it's always like this. It was as if he had a chance to change destiny.  When I turned into a mad vampire, nothing

all I can do is kill me. But, hear what Arion said

it still makes my heart feel warm. He's a really good friend. Darling

once that I just met him after I was no longer human.

Sometimes I can't stop thinking how much fun it would be if we were

both are human.
