Persona - Mask of Origins

Yuki soon found Zain.

"Let go of my brother." She said, drawing her scythe.

 

Callen hissed at her, "Brother? Zain Menlow has no siblings. I made sure of that. His mother and father died by Shiv's hand and burnt them to a crisp in their own hom. Zain came into my care and I took him to the Orphanage, to Lady Shiv, to recieve a special treatment so I could survive. Zain is mine to do with as I choose, young lady." His manners, Zain thought, was still immpecable. How could he stay so calm. Turning slightly he stared at Yuki, "Run..." Callen laughed and licked a drop of Zain's blood dripping down his neck, "They have no where to run dear Zain. Your sister will have to suffer the same fate as your parents I'm afraid."

 

Yuki swung her scythe, sending a dark wave towards Callen.

 

Callen dropped Zain and moved quicker than the eye could keep up with. He stood behind Yuki and lightly touched her neck, "So beautiful...so young. You have lovely skin." His hunger was only half sated and he pinned Yuki's scythe to her side, pulling her back against him. "Such use I could make of you."

 

Yuki let go of her scythe and fired a dark blast at Callen's face.

 

Again he let go of her and moved out of the way. Kneeling beside Zain. "You really should be more careful. You could've damaged my face with that. I don't believe I caught your name. I'm Callen Kirykuu. The one who protected Zain for the majority of his childhood. Now, do you think it is smart attacking me like that when your dear brother needs something of me?" Zain felt his body become heavy, his bright blue eyes slid to Callen and he forced out his words, "Give me...your blood."

 

Yuki grabbed her scythe and stood on guard.

 

Callen grinned his fanged grin again at Yuki, "Skipping the formalities are we? Alright then. Now Zain, why should I give you my blood. What will you give me in return?" Pushing himself, Zain barely could make himself heard, "My blood..." Callen's eyes glowed their rust red, "Exactly as I wanted." he lowered his head back to Zain's neck and bit into him again.

 

Yuki gripped her scythe in anger. She wanted to attack, but didn't want to risk harming Zain.

 

When Callen finished, Zain's eyes were closed and he was limp in Callen's arms. "Hmm, perhaps waiting this long to feed was too much for the boy. He was extordinarily delicious though. I thank you for the meal and your reward dear Zain...I will return with your prize, but first there is something I must take care of." He vanished and Zain passed out. No, you have to be kidding me! He...I...dammit! his thoughts kept going.

 

Yuki grabbed Zain and tried to heal him.

 

Zain's wound healed but he stayed asleep. More shadows moved out of the darkness and approached Yuki. "The Shadow Hunter....we can heal him. He needsss our blood. He issss one of usss."

 

Yuki slowly backed away with Zain.

 

They followed, "Do not flee....if you want to keep the Shadow Hunter alive. He needsss our blood."

 

Yuki came to a stop. She kept a hold of her scythe to attack if needed.

 

The shadows touched their hands to Zain's head, a dark flash flared from their hands and Zain's eyes opened, they were back to red. "Hmm...? Yuki?" The shadows backed off and faded away as they promised.

 

Yuki sighed in relief.

 

Zain rubbed his face and touched the bloody wound on his neck, "Oh...god...please tell me I at least got the blood I needed before that creep bit me." His red eyes avoided Yuki's. Zain felt ashamed for consorting with Callen's sort again. Though unwillingly seeking him out.

 

"I don't think so."

 

He felt pain spear from his neck throughout his body, "Ah, dammit...n-no... How could I let Callen do this to me again. Always what he wants..."
