I do not own Vampire Knight. It belongs to the talented and impressive Matsuri Hino. If not for her, I would not have been so interested in a story about vampires.
Prologue
The large room was crowded with many bodies and music, vampires of high social class mingling with one another, listening to the orchestra and waiting for the arrival of the purebloods. Some of the aristocrats decided to take advantage of the music and dance a few rounds with their spouse or family member. While those vampires danced, the others stood around, gossiping, having a drink of the wondrous discovery of the blood tablets. They were biding their time, knowing they were being watched by their enemies; hunters from the Society.
One such hunter looked on the aristocrats, a fire of deep loathing barely masked in his violet eyes. This hunter, Zero Kiryu, had a duty to the Society, but his past helped make him stand out from the others. His hatred for any and all vampires stems from that woman; Shizuka Hio's anger at his parents for something they couldn't control. The result was their deaths and Zero's future tainted with that of a newborn vampire.
It had taken him four long, miserable years to finally become a beast in human form, but it did not come without a cost. His first taste of true human blood came from the one person who knew him best.
This is the same person he has now sworn to kill.
His hunter senses kicked in as he felt the presence of the purebloods. Just as he had, the aristocrats paused in their actions and looked toward where the purebloods would enter the soiree. Zero clenched his hands into fists and felt his teeth gnash together in hope for composure. He cannot forget his duty; he cannot kill them without the order, even if he desperately wanted to.
He saw them. His blood ran cold as he looked at the one man he hated most: Kaname Kuran. Beside him was the one person, Zero knew, that would destroy him when he killed her. That one person was his savior; Yuki Cross-or Kuran, for she is the sister and fiancee to Kaname.
Just as she turned her gaze to him, Zero noticed the room suddenly came to a standstill. The music halted, the vampires stood frozen. Zero looked around and, when he realized something was not right, felt his throat clench and knew it was power beyond his control.
Suddenly, a bright flash of light burst from above, forcing Zero to cover his eyes in protection. All he could see was white, all around him, enveloping him. He tried to stay strong, composed, but he could not help his instinct to cower and close his eyes.
A.N. The prologue of my Vampire Knight fanfiction! I feel it's a little blah, but its only the prologue. Chapter one is in the works, and I think a lot of people will either love it or hate it with a burning passion. If you're one of the ones who want to see what happens to Zero, all you must do is leave a review. Just a simple "Good job" would suffice, just to help me get inspired to write more. I may be taking time in writing this one because I will start to use Google Docs to keep it in a safe place, and having to take it from the site to Microsoft Word and save it for a suitable form. Thanks again and I can't wait to write more for you all!
