Blood: The Last Vampire Page #3

the Elders all about this.

Be my guest.

Caus' I'm not the one jeopardizing

our mission.

You're getting soft, old man.

Maybe. But not stupid!

You all right?

Who's stupid now?

We have to go!

Wait!

You drive!

Radio free Japan.

Top of the hour.

The commanding officer of right

Air Force base

General Howard R. McKee

has died from a heart attack.

The general was discovered in critical

condition at his home a few hours ago

but doctors on the scene were

unable to resucitate him.

Authorities are asking your help in finding

his daughter Alice McKee,

who fled the base in an air force truck

shortly after earing the news.

A base's psychiatric describes

the teen as unstable

and cautions that her life may be at risk.

Saya!

Saya! Are you okay?

Saya?

Wake up!

Saya! Wake up!

Your blood...

Why did you save me?

I'm not your kind.

It was the right thing to do.

The right thing...

I used to know right from wrong.

Life used to feel right.

Kato raised me, in that moutain village,

where I called home,

Where I found the only friend in my life.

Happiness and love was within reach.

But then, the dark dream came!

In the dream, I killed him,

love was gone,

replaced by blood.

Saya!

Saya sama!

Then I woke up, and it was not a dream.

What's happened?!

Come, my girl.

We have to go.

Take your father's sword!

I don't understand.

This sword has gathered dark powers

from all the demons it has slain.

It's a blessing, and a curse.

One you're yet ready for.

But we have no time:

demons have found us.

Kato,

Kato...

Sh...

Don't come out till I tell you to!

Don't follow me!

We go together!

No!

Kato...

It's time to be on your own my girl.

What are you going to do?

My duty.

No, Kato!

Stay out of sight until you're truly

ready to face the demons;

Now go and don't look back!

You're okay?

You're thinking about your father?

Just...

just all the little things.

What about you?

Your family?

My mother,

I never knew her.

My father,

he died, days after I was born.

How?

Onigen murdered him.

The oldest, most powerful demon.

My father's most loyal retainer,

Kato, saved me,

he took me into the mountains.

Cared for me.

Trained me to be strong.

To be like my father.

At the end, he died for me.

Kato!

Many a night Kato told me

about my father's murder.

How demons deceived him

in the most dispeakable way.

That day I finally understood:

I'm my father's daughter,

but I'm also the evil that killed him.

...Since that night,

time stopped.

I live for one purpose,

and one purpose only.

To kill Onigen.

That's my duty!

Kato was right.

Demons can't conjure up human souls.

Promise me one thing also,

Never doubt yourself.

You're human.

I promise.

So much pain.

So much struggle.

Silly girl.

She's close by. Bring her to me.

Alive?

Still holding a grudge?

The halfling owes me!

Don't be ridiculous.

Her power is far beyond

what it used to be.

Uh.

We will see about that!

Let me out.

What?!

You go alone.

Too dangerous to stay with me!

No!

It's our war now!

Come on!

Come on!

Start!

Are you okay?

Yeah!

Yeah... yeah.

Alice!

Dad... Don't go.

It's me!

It's me Alice!

Please wake up!

Okay, let's go!

Saya!

Alice.

Alice.

This isn't really happening.

Any of it.

You!

You' re alive!

Saya!

He isn't real!

This isn't really happening.

None of it!

No.

He's alive...

No! No!

You finally found me.

And I found you.

Look at you, my girl.

Eaten alive by guilt over a single human.

Yet, not a glimmer of regret for having

slaughtered so many of your own kind.

I'm not your kind!

Denial.

Stubbornness.

You are, after all,

your father's child.

I see you've taken good care of his sword.

Show me your true form Onigen!

What do you want to see?

The demon...

...who murdered my father.

The demon...

...who I'll kill!

You knew all along, didn't you?

Deep down in your heart.

I, gave you your strength.

I, gave you your power.

I, gave you immortality,

my daughter!

No!

Silly girl.

You've suffered long enough.

Come to me.

I've waited a long time, Saya.

For you to gain your strength.

To be ready.

You think the more "demons" you kill,

the more "human" you become,

don't you?

How naive.

The truth is,

the more you kill,

the more you unleash your power.

You come to your true nature.

Don't you see?

You've been doing everything you could,

to become what you don't want to be.

To become me.

Never!

It's your destiny, silly girl.

Leaves fall, forest grows on.

The future, lies in you...

Let her go!

Alice! Alice!

Alice!

Don't you see now?

Which half of you gives you strength,

which half makes you feeble?

Let it all out

Unleash yourself

You gave birth to me.

And you can kill me.

But you're nothing to me!

You don't know

what it means to be a mother!

Kill me, my daughter.

Kill me.

And become me!

Saya...

Saya...

Are you okay?

What's the point?

You don't believe me.

These monsters.

You said one of them attacked

the army truck you stole.

But when we found you at the bottom of

the ravine, you were alone.

They cleaned it up.

They?

The Council.

They killed my father.

Yes, General McKee.

Mortally wounded by the side arm of

the Sergeant Frank Nielsen.

Sergeant Nielsen lost his son

in the war three months ago.

His psyc evaluation show, instability.

And this girl, you mentioned.

Saya I believe.

Her name, her identity were false.

In fact we believe

she's not even Japanese.

Where is she right now?

She's out there.

Searching.

Searching for what?

Searching for her way back.

From the other side of the looking glass.
