Hey guys, so I wrote this as an experiment. I had thought up this idea awhile ago, and finally decided to actually type it up. I sent it to my almighty beta and she thought I should continue it, but I also want to know what you think. Please read and review! If you think that I should continue, tell me in a review, because I'm not a big fan of polls. So on to the disclaimer, I don't own Vampire Knight but I do own this plot along with my character Harper. I hope you enjoy!
6 months before Shizuka Hio attacked the Kiryu Family
I was in the backyard with my mirror image, Ichiru, beside me. I was trying to help him with the training our family was known for, although because of my brother's condition, he seemed to have more trouble, but I don't think he wanted to give up. I heard the door swing open with a small squeak from the hinges that had rusted from time. Looking up from our training, I saw my mother, sporting in a pair of jeans, a turtle neck sweater with a utility belt and a pair of combat boots to top it all off. Next to her was a girl around my age. Her dark brown hair was pulled back in a braid and she wore a purple shirt with a guitar on it, a straight jean skirt with black leggings, and converse.
"Zero and Ichiru come here for a second." Our mother's strong yet angelic voice rang out to us. Both of us ran towards her.
"I would like you to meet Harper Binx. She also comes from a family of hunters, although a bit different from ours. Her family is good friends of ours and while they are on a hunter mission, for the next six months she'll be staying with us." The three of us just stared at each other, her blue eyes against our violet ones.
"I'll let you three get to know each other."
Our mother walked back inside the house, leaving us engulfed in silence. Ichiru was the first one to break it.
"Hi I'm Ichiru." He extended his hand out to her, which she took smiling.
"I'm Harper." Her arms crossed in front of her, seemingly creating a barrier between her and us.
"So, how old are you Harper?" asked Ichiru.
"I'm 11. You?" "We're both 12." I wasn't one for small talk but one thing did intrigue me though.
"Mother said that you were a different kind of hunter. What kind?" She looked hesitant at first before answering. "My family heritage is known for their certain gifts that enhance their hunting ability." Seemed like a rehearsed answer, but still curiosity was getting the better of me. "What kind of gifts?" I inquired. She glanced around, looking for something when her eyes landed on a potted plant by the door. "You see that plant?" We both nodded. "Watch." She commanded. Our eyes never left the pot until we saw it levitate off the ground, both of us backing away in shock. "In other words, we're a family of witches that hunt vampires." That could be why I sensed something odd about her.
"That's so cool. Come on Harper let's go play." Ichiru grabbed her hand and started to drag her over to the tree we were just training at. "Ichiru." My tone was sharp. My brother turned toward me. "We have training we need to finish." My brother sighed. "Come one Zero. We can finish later. Please?" Reluctantly I agreed and let him have his fun, only to join them. I had to admit, Harper was a pretty cool person, although I'll never admit it to her or anyone else.
3 Months until Shizuka Hio attacked the Kiryu Family
My parents took Ichiru to the doctor's office today and left Harper and I here alone, but I couldn't find her. She's been missing all day and I was slowly growing worried. I searched the whole house and it wasn't exactly a walk in the park. With her petite size, she could hide pretty much in any place in the house. Continuing my search outside, I could hear sniffling, like someone crying. I approached the tree and saw her huddled there, her shoulders shaking when a new sobbed escaped her. I bent towards her and laid my hand upon her shoulder. At the sudden contact, Harper jumped up, whacking my hand away from her. Her eyes held fear until she realized it was me, breaking down worse then she was before. I walked over and held her, like I would Ichiru, except this time I felt something bubbling within me. It was a warm pleasant feeling.
"What happened?" I found myself asking. "I had my first premonition and it was horrible. Your house was covered in blood. Your parent's bodies were mauled, with bite marks all over them. There was someone, with long flowing hair and wearing a kimono, leaning over them and when she came back up, blood was running down her chin. Zero, I think a vampire is going to attack your family."
I nodded taking in the information. "Don't worry, that's why witches have premonitions, to prevent them from happening. I'll warn my parents when they get home." Soon her sobs died down. I felt her body shift before I heard her say, "Thanks Zero." Next thing I knew, she kissed me on the cheek. I blush and I looked down at her, her face turning the same shade as mine, or at least what I assumed was the shade of my face. I could hear my parents pull into driveway and before I got a chance to say anything to Harper, she disappeared into the house. Well, at least I knew what the warm feeling meant.
Two week before Shizuka Hio attacked the Kiryu Family
Harper was leaving today, and I don't remember a time when I was this sad, although I didn't show it. Her parents and my parents were talking in the kitchen while Ichiru and I were helping Harper with her bags. Ichiru left the room, a bag in his hand when I stopped Harper from leaving. "What's wrong Zero?" she asked. I shoved this bracelet into her hand. She looked at it with curiosity. "What's this?" I shrugged.
"It's an ancient bracelet that's also a weapon against vampires. I hear it amplifies a witch's power. When a witch wears one, she or he can see different auras. A human's will be the color blue, a vampire's red and a witch's will be green. I'm not sure about any other supernatural being though." She smiled and when she did my heart swelled. "Thanks Zero, this is great." She pulled me into a hug which I gratefully returned.
"I promise I'll never forget you." Harper whispered. "I promise I won't either." Harper's parents called her down and soon she was leaving. I thought back to when she kissed me on the cheek along with the premonition she had. I had told my parents and they reported it to the council. Nothing's happened yet, so maybe with all the preparations made, nothing will. The phone rang and I thought nothing of it, until my parents came into the living room, currently where Ichiru and I were. "We're off to hunt a level E. We'll be home late." The door shut quietly and I went back to my thoughts.
The couple days after Shizuka Hio attacked the Kiryu Family
Kaien Cross guided me inside his home, where a girl was sitting at a table. In my delusional state, I almost mistook her for Harper. That is until I noticed this girl had brown eyes. My heart sank deeper then it already was. Harper's premonition came true, but at least she was gone before anything could happen to her. "Yuki, this is Zero. His family was attacked by a vampire." Her eyes held concern but it didn't help. I don't know if I'll ever be the same as I once was.
So, should I continue?...let me know by review please! Thanks for taking the time to read. Peace Out!
