A/N:
This is my second Shima fic. This is only the prolouge, by the way. The actual chapters should be longer than this:)

The dream started with water – rain, actually. The small cold drops were falling on my body, soaking through my clothes. That coldness made me wake from my unconsciousness. I shivered, looking down at myself. No wonder I was cold; I was wearing a loose, button-up shirt, that finished right at the very top of my thighs. The shirt was also an unnaturally white, it went see through after the first few drops of rain hitting it – revealing almost everything underneath.

I got up, and analysed my surroundings. It was dark, and misty, so my sight didn't go very far. I could tell by the feeling of grass under my feet that I was in a field. The grass was unnaturally long; so tall it went up to my knees. The air smelt muddy and nice. It was a good change from car fumes and tempting human blood of the day class at the academy. The only source of light I had was from the moon. It was a big full moon tonight. I smiled up at it in all of it's white glory.

My neither blonde or ginger hair wasn't in it's usual bunches. It was loose and long around my face. It really had grown! I'd never noticed it all that much before. I twirled a lock of it around my finger... My nails had grown, too.

Dancing around like this in a field reminded me of when I was little. I used to be so carefree and happy. Then everything changed. I don't know what happened, but, suddenly I was afraid to let anyone in. I wouldn't show anyone what I felt inside, and my smile was rare. There was just one boy who could make me smile. Just the thought of him made my lips tilt upwards. The smile lingered as I pictured him. His pale skin; his reddish brown hair; icy blue eyes – all of them were perfect. I thought about when he asked me to feed him pocky. Occasionally I would jab him in the cheek with it, just to see him chuckle or grin at me... even if it were only for a second. I thought about his magical laugh, his deep, velvety voice... How it melted me inside, whenever he said something as simple as my name. "Rima," he said. It was like a dream come true, hearing my name uttered in that beautiful voice. I turned around smiling shyly. But the smile was replaced with fear as soon as I saw his face. He was glaring and angry. Walking over to me, his movements were jerky and stiff. My body went cold, and the rain went warm... and red.

Blood stained my white shirt in drops. The sweet scent filled my nostrils and made my blood lust flair up. I felt my fangs, and the all too familiar cold sweat break out across my forehead. I opened my mouth trying to catch a few drops on my tongue. I forgot about the red headed boy making his way over to me.

He was making his way over to me...

He grabbed my wrist, and made me look up at him, his blue eyes that were once warm and friendly to me, were now cold and murderous.

My throat burned, and it felt like it was closing over. I ached for this man's blood. I clamped my hands over my mouth as I tried to stop myself letting out a shrill scream. "Shiki," I panted, "Need... blood... Now!" I begged. I put my hands on his shoulders in an attempt to steady myself. It didn't work. I was falling to one side and then another. When I finally managed to balance, I clamped my mouth to his throat. Millimetres before I could sink my fangs into his throat, his big hand found the back of my head. At first, I thought this was meant to be a comforting move, until he scrunched up my hair, pulling my head backwards. His other hand grasped my neck, getting tighter... tighter... tighter; until I couldn't breath.

He muttered the words, only three words, but they were enough to do soul shattering damage. "You're a monster."

I never meant to hurt you...

I felt a single tear slide down my cheek, then he broke my neck, giving me the fatal blow.

I woke up, in the middle of the day with daylight streaming through the curtains, tears streaming down my cheeks, whispering his name. "Shiki... Shiki... Shiki!" I cried.
