Chapter 8:
The Man With Heterochromatic Eyes
THE ROAD TO SHIKI'S residence took a long period of time. The black limousine made a stop in front of a humongous Victorian mansion. Shiki yawned lazily and opened the car.
He breathed the cold air of the night, the familiar scent reminded him that he was finally home. A small smile slowly crept into his thin rosy lips.
The limousine behind roared in life and left, the wind blew hard and it made the trees dance and sway. He slowly opened the double doors of the humongous mansion.
It creaked and groaned as a dimly lit hall welcomed his sleepy eyes. The smell of the dust and the warmth made him see his childhood. Back when everything was perfect, back when he didn't know what sadness was.
"Love.." a soft whisper echoed through the hall, Shiki tilted his head sidewards and there, he saw a woman standing in the darkness, her voice was like the softest voice he's ever heard, and that made him smile more, for the only woman he has ever loved so much is now in front of him.
"Mother.." he said, and embraced her in his arms longingly, He kissed her soft burgundy hair, her familiar smell of lavender made Shiki hug her beloved mother tighter.
"I've missed you.." her mother whispered and kissed his neck.
"I've missed you so so much," she continued, raking her hands through his burgundy hair in which he had inherited from his Mother. Shiki smiled lovingly as he looked at her.
"I missed you too Mother," he replied, he stared at his mother's lanky figure, she wore a night lacy dress that flowed freely beneath her bare feet.
Her flawless figure was envied by a lot of their families and other models, for she was indeed a perfectly carved goddess.
"You haven't brushed your hair Mother. Come, let me brush your hair. People would be shock to see my beautiful Mother's hair uncombed." Shiki said and softly grabbed her mother's arms into a chair.
"I've been so lonely my son. The silence is so loud, It's making my ears hurt," his Mother whispered as she looked at the nothingness. Shiki sighed deeply as he felt sorry for his Mother's loneliness.
"You're looking a lot like that bastard's face day by day." his mom continued, he paused for a second and looked at her distant eyes.
"But I thought I got my features from you Mother," Shiki replied, he knew that his Mother was referring to his father. But he never saw what he looked like.
"By the way, your great uncle told me that you should visit him no matter what," she said and turned to look at him with lazy eyes. Shiki just looked at her and said nothing.
His mother grabbed a small mirror and stared at it blankly.
"You can't refuse right? He is part of the senate, after all.." she trailed off, she suddenly stood and softly touched his neck, leaning in to embrace him into her arms. Shiki remained still.
"But you should come back as soon as possible okay?" She whispered as she breathed hard, licking his neck softly. Shiki can feel her hunger, and it felt like it was drowning him.
"Now let me get a taste of your blood my son. I'm starving.." she whispered, her sharp fangs becoming bare, Shiki suddenly felt her pair of fangs digging into his neck. She eagerly sucked and slurped the fresh crimson liquid coming out from his body. It was sweet, sweeter than honey, sweeter than anything in this world. Shiki sighed once more.
"Yes mother.." he answered obediently.

Shiki stared blankly at the humongous mansion that stood mightily in front of him. It screamed of loneliness and dread.
The doors opened and his infamous uncle welcomed him with a cold look. Shiki nodded and together, they went deeper into the mansion.
Shiki was silent the whole time, the slams of their shoes echoed loudly across the hallways. The aura of the mansion always reflected his uncle, it was always cold and empty.
"Where are we going?" Shiki asked as he looked at his uncle's back.
"You are part of the family my dear nephew. So I guess I should tell you something about our family." He replied.
"I'm not gonna like this," Shiki muttered, his uncle laughed deeply like a Lion's roar in the rising sun of the morning.
Shiki noticed that he's never been here before, he's never seen this kind of path before when he was still a kid. Shiki silently threw his uncle a dark look.
As they walked farther into the darkness, something became different, something heavy, something that's sinful. Shiki's breath became fast, he was sensing another aura. It felt dangerous, dark, and powerful.
The doors creaked loudly as they were welcomed by a dimly lit room. Big candles gave light inside it, silence drowned their ears and it felt like it was making him deaf. They stopped.
There in the middle, was a red coffin.
Shiki's eyes widened at the scene in front of him. He can feel its dominating presence lingering around the room. there was a man lying inside the coffin, drowned in thick crimson blood from hundreds of humans.
A small red haired child suddenly appeared behind the heavy curtains. The child smiled slyly, before stifling a laugh.
"It's been so long.." the little child with heterochromatic eyes of red and blue muttered as he walked towards the coffin, his small hand dipped into the coffin, staining his clothes with blood to touch the hand of the man inside the coffin. The child suddenly fell limp on the ground.
Shiki felt his hands becoming cold. No, this cannot be! Shiki screamed inside his head. This is impossible, this cannot be possible!
A hand suddenly gripped the edges of the coffin, filled with blood and veins popping out. Shiki glared and readied himself, a man suddenly rose up from the coffin, blood dripping on the ground.
The man licked his lips and moaned, he opened his heterochromatic eyes and lovingly looked at Shiki.
"This feels good.." he moaned and smiled slyly.
Shiki began to shiver, he looked at his uncle and saw that his damned uncle wasn't even shocked. So he was a part of it! Shiki thought as he looked at his father trying his best to have his usual calm and bored visage as what he always wore.
'Kaname-sama must be aware of this.', Shiki thought, and that he needs to leave fast to tell this to the Pureblood Prince, to save him and all of the nobles and humans in the academy.
The man chuckled darkly, combing his bloodied hair with his slender fingers. Shiki turned to look at him with wide eyes.
"I've missed you. My cute son..How handsome you'd grown, and to look a lot like me at that." he said and laughed.
The menacing look of his heterochromatic eyes was the last thing Shiki saw before everything became black...
~•~
The moon was covered by the dark clouds surrounding the skies at Cross Academy.
A thunder storm threatening to roar over the sky, as flashes of lightning was coming down along with the thousands of raindrops falling down.
A clank of a tea cup was heard as it was being put down on its plate, emptied.
"This tea.. I have never tasted this before."
"It's Earl grey tea, my Lord."- answered his blonde haired servant.
He looked at his master's expression, which was quite satisfied. And so he asked,"Do you want more of the tea, my Lord?"
The noblesse only nodded as he closed his eyes, listening through the music of the rain outside his window.
His servant came back with the tea pot and took his master's emptied tea cup. As Frankenstein was pouring the tea, he suddenly felt an ominous aura causing him to accidentally drop the tea cup, spilling the warm tea on the ground. "Forgive me, master. I just felt--" he stopped when he saw the noblesse nodded in understanding.
The noblesse knew what made his servant flabbergasted.
'So he had finally reawakened.' thought the noblesse as he rose up from his seat and walked near his closed window that was stained with heavy raindrops.
His long porcelain slender fingers kissed the cold glass as he stood there, staring at a certain direction where he also felt the ominous aura that was obviously being spread around the entire area where vampires are, to warn them the he is coming.
The noblesse let out a sigh and called for his servant.
"Yes, master?" Frankenstein bowed down to his master as he waited for his command.
The noblesse looked at his servant as his eyes flashed its deep crimson color.
"Protect the children."
