Itazu's past part 44

Naikendan-


             I kneeled down and picked up Shimaret, I carefully pulled out a match from my bag and burned his body placing the ashes carefully in a container I carried to grab blood if I bled. I never wasted my own blood. I wiped the tears out of my eyes. I needed to concentrate, I needed to find Metode and Itazu before they were also killed, if they were still alive enough to be killed that is.

Itazu-


"Please! Just five minutes!" sounded the voice in Metode in a sort out blurred out way, I felt light headed.

"Five minutes? I am waiting for her to wake is that not enough for you?" spoke the same voice as before ringing in our heads, causing pain.

"It means a lot!  But when she wakes up she will not be in her right mind and will need talking to! Please give me only that!" he begged desperately.

"I will very well be in my right mind. Thank you very much" I said weakly, I was lying on the floor I tried to get into a sitting position but that was not easy with my arms tied behind my back. When I finally managed to sit up I noticed Metode's expression. He was panicked.

"So our sleeping beauty had awaken I see. Well over two hours have past, have you changed your mind since our last conversation?" she asked.

             I opened my mouth to say no but before I could Metode interrupted "she has! We will both do what ever you ask!" he shouted looking at me warningly.

"What?! No we wont!" I shouted angered by Metode's attempt to make this choice for me.

"We will, she's not in her right mind, like I said. She will" said Metode sounding serious.

"Very well, I will take your word. I will present myself to you tomorrow so you may understand your use to me" said the voice.

"Thank you" said Metode.

              The same noise as last time sounded in my head as silence once again came. I kicked Metode as hard as I possibly could several times. He did not complain or show signs of pain. He looked at me with sad eyes.

"What were you thinking?!" I shouted.

"I was thinking we should treasure our live more…" he said.

"What lives?! Like you said before, we're already dead!"  I shouted.

"Itazu, it's going to be ok. Please calm down!" he begged.

"No! No I wont calm down! You asking me to calm down? How the hell am I going to calm down?!" I heard my voice raising.

"Listen! Naikendan will come, we wont be slaves as you call us for long!" he shouted desperately.

"Any time is to long for me Metode!" I shouted.

"Please, were you not a slave to does vampire hunters, why is this different?" he said.  

                I looked at him with horror. He was right but in the wrong way. He didn't understand the difference between the two cases. He only understood the out come.

"Because, when I was a slave for the vampire hunters, I was doing it so Kasai could keep her life, now I'm just doing it to save my own" I said simply, my anger had faded remembering Kasai, was she ok?

"I know Itazu, but it's not that simple. If you die you won't be able to see Kasai again, would you want that? And Naikendan as well would be upset. And me! Please understand that giving it up is not the way!" he shouted, I understood how right he was but how could I give in so easily.

                   What I said next was not what I had expected, anything but what I fought I'd say to be honest, it horrified me that I could say such a thing, so simple, so human.

"I'm scared, Metode, I'm scared"  I said weakly.
