This is my first story, and I'm pretty excited. The pairing is Yuki/Zero (my favourite pairing in any book series) While it may contain elements of the Vampire Knight series, it does follow its own storyline. I'm sure you will enjoy (remember: I love feedback!) I don't own Vampire Knight or any of its characters.



There was something about snow that gave one a sense of surrealism. It could be the way it turned the sky white, enclosing a person in an isolated world. This sense could have been due to the effect snow had on sound, softly absorbing the creaks and words of nature to leave the world in delicate silence. Always, silvered flakes fell, icing shadows and cooling cheeks.

Zero eyed Yuki, perched in an armchair across from him. She was silent, watching the snow outside the window with hooded eyes. Her fingers absent fiddled absent-mindedly with the hem of her skirt and her breathing was light and even. Zero felt it like a lullaby, lulling him to sleep. Drowsily, Zero wondered if the snow brought Yuki back bad memories from another snowy day years before. He briefly debated asking her, but something warned him not to disturb the serene atmosphere.

Zero realized he must have fallen asleep as a sharp creek woke him up. Yuki sighed, standing up. "I'm sorry" she whispered. "I didn't mean to disturb you."

Waving off her concern, Zero inquired. "Leaving?" As she headed through the doorway, Yuki informed him she was going to cook some supper.

This effectively left Zero alone with his thoughts. His worries, fears, and bloody desires all ran rampant when he wasn't with Yuki. That girl meant more to him then he'd ever bothered to admit, and it was on days like this that he fully released how strongly she affected him. To calm his racing mind, he turned to stare at the snow. Slowly everything ebbed away, leaving only white.


That's the end of the prologue! Next chapter will be Yuki's point of view. Feedback is greatly appreciated as this IS my first story. (Feedback also prompts an author to write faster) See you next time!
