Chapter 2: A rude awaking, A confused past.

Yume awoke on a bed in a dark gloomy room. His head hurt like crazy. Yume tried to get up but then someone pushed him back down. "Don't try to get up Yume, you could hurt your self." Yume could not see who it was, but by the sounds of it, it was a boy. "Where am I?" Yume's words were scattered all over the place, his eyes still trying to focus to the darkness. "You are at Lord Varons castle, located in the deep forest of Varonkama." The boy said, taking off the towel that was placed on Yume's head and rinsed it out. "My name is Seth, that’s if you don't remember me." Seth smiled at Yume. Once Yume's eyes were adjusted he saw the boy. He looked like he was seventeen with pink and purple hair. His hair was long, very long. It reached the floor and was tied in a pony-tail; however it was like a long tube. He was wearing a fish-net top and black skinny pants, with big black combat boots and spiked bracelets. Having a girly figure to top it all off.

Yume still looked at the boy confused. "I guess you don't remember me." Seth sighed. "What do you mean remember you? I don't even know you." Yume said quietly. Seth pouted, "Keith! He does not remember!" At that moment a guy looking twenty kicked the door down, literally. He had shoulder length red and blue hair, built like a tank, wore camo pants, combat boots also. Was wearing a tight dark green tank top. The guy named Keith walked over and looked Yume hard in the eyes. "You really do not remember us?" His voice was hard and stern, bit like a relaxed sergeant. Yume sort of attempted to wiggle back. "Keith don't intimidate Yume, he just woke up." Keith backed away, exhaling. "Sorry Babe." Seth blushed a little but looked back at Yume.

"Where did you go all them years ago?" Seth cocked his head to the left. Yume was confused, "I was at Magic of Lute Academy." Seth closed a fist and hit his palm. "The one place we did not check. You were lucky Lord Varon found you before anyone else did after leaving the academy. Something could have happened to you." Yume felt anger come up. "I did not want to leave! I was safe and happy! Just because I could not cast one spell I was kicked out! I had to leave Sakura and....him..." Yume laid back down and curled up in a ball. "Leave me alone..." Seth was about to say something but Keith put a finger over his lips and held him by the hand, leading him out of the room, leaving Yume to sleep.

Lord Varon looked up as Seth and Keith entered the room. "Aha, there you two are. How is Yume doing? His memory back yet?" Seth shook his head. "He does not remember, also he is very upset. It seemed he did not want to leave the academy. He said he was happy there. He should of never removed his ability to cast the spells if he was happy!" Lord Varon rolled his eyes and Keith grabbed Seth's shoulders to calm him down. "I did it because I knew he was there Seth." Lord Varon calmly said, taking a sip of a red substance from a wine glass. "But we had no right to take him away from somewhere he was happy." Seth was getting tears formed in his eyes. "Shh, shh Seth, calm down a tad." Keith whispered into Seth's ear, patting his hair slowly.

Lord Varon looked at Seth. "Did you not want him back though Seth?" Raising an eyebrow. Seth looked down at his feet, mumbling something along the lines of 'yeah but...' Lord Varon held up his hand. "Just relax. I will unlock his powers shortly, you two work on bring back his memory. He needs him to remember all the training before the end of the month, before the war starts out. Seth and Keith bowed low. "Yes Master Varon of Varonkama forest." They both left the room, Keith holding Seth.

Seth pushed the door to their room open. "Gash damn it! I hate him so much!" Seth barged over to the large bed and sat down on the soft quilt. "Calm down Seth." Keith walked over to the boy, putting his arms around him and embracing him in a tight loving hug. "Just relax and be glad Yume is back with whom he belongs with. His own kind." Seth rested his head on Keiths chest, putting his arms around him also. "I guess you are right there Keith." Seth looked up at Keith. Keith smiled and leaned in and kissed Seth softly on the lips.

Yume was tossing and turning in the bed, trying to get back to sleep. He hoped all of this was a dream and that he is having a hard time waking up. However deep down he knew it was no dream. He was kicked out from his home and far away from his friends. On top of that he was now in a place that everyone knew his name and always asked 'do you remember?' Yume sat up, giving up on sleep. He lent back against the wall. It was hard and rocky. At lest something here reminded him of home. Yume could not bottle it in any longer. He started to burst into tears, crying loudly.

A girl, with short brown hair heard a noise from one of the chambers. She peeked through to see Yume sitting up against the wall, crying loudly. She gasped and ran off to the dinning room. Seth and Keith were sitting next to each other, eating slowly. Seth's thoughts kept on going over to Yume. "Seth, just relax. Yume will be fine." Keith whispered in Seth's ear. At that moment the girl barged through the door. "Oh my god! Everyone! Yume is back!" Everyone's heads shot up. "He is in his chambers!" Few people were about to get up when Keith jumped up and banged the table. "Everyone quiet! Torn!" Keith glared at the girl that barged in. "I am warning you not to go to Yume. That goes for the lot of you!" Keith's voice boomed through the room. "Lord Varon, Seth and I are the only ones that can see Yume at this time." Torn put her hands on her hips. "Who died and made you king?" Keith spat at Torn’s direction. "Yume does not know a thing. We are all strangers to him. So it is best if not one of you lot to go see him. It will freak him out a lot more." Keith had a stirn look in his eyes which made people sit back down quietly. Seth sat there, slowly eating his food.

Torn glared daggers at Keith, going for the viollin on her back. "Torn...now is no time to fight..." She spun around fast to see Lord Varon and Bakara. "Sorry my Lord." She bowed down and took her seat at the table. Lord Varon walked swiftly to his seat near Keith, Seth and the empty spot next to Seth. "How is progress going my children?" Keith snorted. "Don't call me your child, it makes me sound as if my lover was my brother." Lord Varon sat up straight, clearing his throat. "You did not answer my question." Keith rolled his eyes and was about to speak when Seth cut in with a quiet voice. "There has been no change...he is still the same as before...If you will excuse me..." Seth got up from his seat and walked slowly to the door, leaving the large room. "Poor, poor Seth. Learnt to find out his younger brother does not even recognize him..." Lord Varon sang quietly. Bakara laughing. "Shut your mouth...Master. Leave Seth alone. It is hard enough as it is." Keith pushed back away from the table and went after Seth. "Such ingnorent boys...the three of them."

Seth walked up to the door of Yume's room and knocked on it softly. A weak soft cry answered. "Come in..." Seth gulped a little and pushed the door open. "Yume...Are you ok?" Seth eyes were full of tears and concern. Yume had his head in his lap and shook his head. "Of course I am not ok! I have been taken somewhere against my own will...Also that everyone knows my name but I know not one of all of you." Yume started to cry softly. "Yume..." Seth sighed and walked over to his younger brother. "Tell me...do you know anything about before you were ten years old?" Yume's head shook fast. Seth smiled and exhaled. "You see this was your home...before you and Lord Varon had another fight. You did not want to get changed at the age of te-" Yume's head shot up. "What do you mean by changed?" Seth bit his lip, a sharp pointed tip of a tooth showed. "Changed into a vampire..." Yume's eye went wide and he curled up. "Let me finish Yume. Freak out after not now."

Seth took in another deep breath. "Well after that fight you stormed out of the castle and into the woods, were you got attacked by a bear. You healed fast and ran for town. Lord Varon removed your power after that. You had already forgotten your past. Your healing ability is what we all have. However you vanished from then on. I thought I lost you." Seth had tears building up in his eyes. "Why do you care and know so much about me?" Yume looked at Seth with a confused stern look. "Because...you are my younger brother. By a lot of years. I may look seventeen but I am really one hundred and four years old. Keith is five hundred. You are my younger brother because mother got with a human again just like her and had another child. She may be human but she is immortal and looks not a day over twenty one."

Yume was confused still. Was he saying this boy here was his older brother? Who was One Hundred and Four years old! Seth smiled. "I don't have all the details. Keith knows a lot. He works close with Lord Varon." Seth shivered. Yume looked at Seth with question filled eyes. "Seth...What did you mean by powers?" Seth grinned. "Glad you asked. You see every vampire that is bitten by Lord Varon was involved with one instrument and could cast spells with it. Lord Varon brings out that persons full potensul. Keith is drums, Torn is violin, Lord Varon is flute and you are lute." Seth smiled and Yume's jaw dropped. "Im lute? But...but I could not cast one spell at Magic of Lute Academy!" Seth grinned. "Remember I said Lord Varon removed your powers." Yume ran his hand through his white locks with blood stains in them. "I could have stayed if Lord Varon never removed my powers...I could have stayed with him..." Yume's thoughts trailed off to the silver haired boy. Seth blinked a little and started to click his fingers in front of Yume's face.

"He-l-l-l-o-o-o, earth to Yume!" Seth pouted at Yume when he did not look at him. Yume’s head drifted off to his feet as he sat on the bed thinking of Sen. Seth exhaled. “Look Yume. I know you may not be happy here now and that you are now away from your friends back at that academy but you are home now. Does that not make you happy?” Seth smiled and Yume just looked away from Seth. “Fine, I give up for now. I will leave you to sulk in your room. Why don’t you practice the lute? Your lute is in that closet over there.” Seth smiled and pointed to the large closet at the other end of the room. “Well talk to you later.” Seth got up and waved, walking over to the door. He looked back at Yume who was still looking distant from everyone. Sighing Seth left the room to the boy and his own thoughts. ‘Why don’t I remember them? Why do they know me but I don’t know them? If only Sen was here…’

Yume got up and walked over to the closet, taking a look at what it contained. He found some large photo polios and a lute. It was well designed with a golden edge frame and made of light, pure white marble. The strings were made of silver wire. “A work of art.” Yume grabbed the lute and the photos, walking back to his bed. He opened the book to take a look at the photos. ‘There must be a lot if the book is this heavy.’ Yume looked through the photos, seeing a younger version of him around the same ages Seth as he was just talking to. “Well he did say he was one hundred and four years old…” Yume looked through all the photos, trying to remember any little piece of information in the photos he could get. He exhaled, putting the large book down and picked up the lute. He started to play the tone Sen had taught him the first day they met. Yume had practiced it everyday and night, any chance he could get when Sen was not around to hear him play. Sen was always the only one that could make Yume stuff up when he was around. The reason for that is because he was worried about stuffing up halfway through playing the song.

Keith was standing at the door, listening to Yume play the lute. He exhaled and walked down the hall. Keith walked up the stairs to head straight to the head room of the castle, Lord Varons room. Keith knocked on the door three times and entered the room. “Lord Varon. I beg of you, send Yume back to Magic of Lute Academy!” Lord Varon laughed. “Even if I was to let him, he would never get back in; he will have nowhere to go. He was kicked out because he could not cast the spell, remember?” Keith snorted and spat at Lord Varon’s feet. “It is your entire fault. If you never removed his powers he would still be happy.” Lord Varon grinned at Keith’s anger. “But Seth was upset all those years because of it, all that time spent looking for him. You do not want him to lose his little brother again do you?”

Keith growled, “Of course not, just it was not fair of you to ruin ones life. You do know he is never allowed to speak to his humans friends ever again now you know!” Lord Varon nodded slowly. “Yes, yes. However we are going to war to the humans and last time I checked, Magic of Lute Academy was going to fight us so I did not want brother against brother.” Keith spat at Lord Varon again and hit his shoes. “I am your oldest ‘child’. I have never shown you no respect till now and your decisions.” Keith turned around and stormed out of the room. Bakara trying to stop him for the heck of it. Keith spat at his face and continued on walking to go back to his room to see Seth. Bakara was wiping the spit off his face as he walked up to his ‘master’. “What are we going to do about that one master? You can’t remove his powers, he is far too strong.“ Lord Varon raised a hand, hushing Bakara. “Don’t worry I have a plan for Keith…including Seth, Yume and Yume’s human friends.” Lord Varon and bakara started to laugh loudly.
