Chapter One

oOo

If your teacher gave you a task to describe your life in two words, how would you describe it?

I would describe it as weird and extraordinary.

What's so special about me? Let's see. I live with my mother and father in an ancient castle. I swear, it's the oldest house I have ever seen in our city. I have a pink room. Everything inside it is pink. It's like Paris Hilton's twin sister's room. Only my clothes are in different colors.

I'm not very popular at my school. They call me as a freak because I can do weird stuff. No kidding. I can change the color of my eyes. Some people fear me because of that. That's why I'm an outcast in my school.

"Mom, breakfasts are ready." I shouted over the loud noise that our kitchen radio made. No one replied me. I walked to our guest room where my mother went inside before ten minutes.

Bump

Something fell on me and I screamed. I pushed that thing off me and rushed to the light switch of our guest room to turn on the lights. As I turned them on, I froze. On our guest room's floor laid a pale man. His body was bleeding and it looked like he was dead.

"Oh my God," I whispered with a doze of shock as I looked at the dead body. I felt frozen. Then I felt a cool breeze. Our guest room's window was open and my mom was standing in front of it. She turned around to face me. Her usual brown hair was white and her hazel eyes were red.

"Mom, what happened?" I asked her quietly and she smiled at me.

"Dear Mikan, I think it's time to tell you something."

"Oh, no. Not this thing again, mom. Have you taken your pills?"

"Pills?" she turned her head to the left and looked at me with a questioning gaze.

"Yes, pills. And what have I told you about the freaky wig? Take it off."

"I'm sorry, darling, I can't. We, vampires, can't resist the Change." She smiled at me and from her mouth streamed blood.

What is my mom using? Seriously?

"Mom, stop it." I walked closer to her. I pulled her white hair wig but nothing happened. She only turned her head on the side I was pulling her hair.

"What the fuck?"

"Mikan, manners." Mother scowled and shook her head. "If grand grandfather would see you, he would go bald again. It's a mystery how he can keep his natural hair color at the age of ninety."

"Don't start this again, mom." I knew that my family was weird. Even weirder was the fact that my grand-grand-grand-grandfather was alive. And he looked as good as Richard Gere in Pretty Woman.

"Did you pack your things already?" she asked me and looked at the ground where another death body was lying.

"Yes, mom, everything is already packed."

I was going away from home to the boarding school called "Darkness Academy". Yeah, I know, the name is kind of creepy but I guess everything is creepy for creatures as us.

We are vampires.

oOo

"Mikan, are you ready? Come down, let me see you."

I took two heavy suitcases and, taking final look at my empty bedroom, I walked away from it. My suitcases were in pink color. After all, I couldn't break the Paris Hilton's mantra, now, could I?

Yuka, my mother, smiled and hugged me when I walked down the stairs and put my heavy suitcases away.

"Write me every week, darling." She kissed my cheek and let me. Thanks gosh I could breathe again. "Remember meet new friends."

My mother helped me with my suitcases and we walked outside. There, in front of our house, had stopped black bus. On its sides were written words – DARKNESS ACADEMY in white color. I shivered and tried to look inside it. The windows were tinted. No fun.

"Now, Mikan, be a good girl and don't make your family be embarrassed. We already know what you did once with a human boy."

It was an accident, I swear. It wasn't my fault that I was hungry and he was throwing himself at me.

"Bye, Mikan." I smiled and gave my mother a peck. I took her heavy suitcases from the ground and stepped in the bus. Before the bus started to move, I got a last chance to wave to my mother.

In the bus everything was silent. Teenagers, some in my age, were playing with their Ipods, looking into their laptops and reading something. The gossip girls sat at the end of the bus and I didn't dare to walk there.

I took a seat next to a black haired beauty. Her skin was pale, more paler than mine and she was drinking something from a juice box. She was bobbing her head and looking outside while listening to her Ipod. I smiled and tried to be unnoticed. Of course, I failed.

She turned her head to my side and stared at me.

"Hey," I whispered and tried to smile. "What's you name?"

"Not your business."

"Great, I'm Mikan Sakura." I tried to make a laughing sound and I failed. She smiled at me and shook her head.

"Hotaru Imai. Who are you?"

"I'm Mikan-" I was inturupted as she shook her head.

"No, I mean, are you a vampire, werewolf or elf."

"I'm a vampire, you?"

"Same," she smirked and yawned, "Your first year here, right?"

"Yeah," I smiled at her.

SHHHHWWEEEEK

"What the hell?" I whispered as I was thrown in the back of the chair in front of me.

"We are now at the Darkness Academy, please take your bags and get out of this bus." Robotic voice informed us.

"Welcome to Darkness Academy, Sakura." Hotaru said and shoved me in my seat. "Sorry, have to get out first."

"Uh-huh," I whispered and stared at her disappearing form. Weird girl.

"Mikan Sakura, don't daydream here."

I looked up and stared into pair of blue eyes of an old woman.

"I'm sorry," I said and took my suitcases to walk out the bus. Once I was out, I felt lost. There were thousands of teenagers.

And I knew none of them.

I tried to search for Hotaru but I couldn't find here. It was like she disappeared from this world.

"What you looking at?"

I turned my head to the left and faced green eyed girl, her make up made her green eyes stand out from her face. She had raised her eyebrow and she was looking at me, waiting for an answer.

"Hey," I said lamely. She smirked at me and turned around to walk away.

Great.

"Will you follow me or not?"

I turned my head back to the green eyed girl and nodded, seeing that she was waiting me. I smiled and ran to her.

"Hotaru said that I should bring you with us. By the way, my name is Sumire. What's yours?"

"I'm Mikan Sakura."

"Good."

We walked past thousands of strangers. Well, they were to me. Almost everyone turned their head to look at Sumire and greet her. I guess she was some kind of a star.

"Just ignore them. All they want is to have the fame."

I looked at her, dumbfounded.

"I'm Sumire Shoda, rings a bell?"

"Oh," I sighed like an idiot. Vampires had ranks. Family of Shoda's was in the Four Star level. I don't know where my family was. I guess that they were around One Star and Two Star level.

There were Five Star levels. If your family is in the Fifth Star level, you're respected everywhere.

"Don't be so amazed. I heard a rumor that this year one member from a family that is in the Fifth Star level will attend Darkness Academy."

"Really? That's very cool."

"Yeah, but you can forget about talking with him or her. The person will be royal, respected and probably arrogant. She or he will only talk with the high level vampires."

"Which are you?"

"You know, you are interesting person, Mikan Sakura."

"Thanks, Sumire Shoda."

We walked in silence for few minutes. Someone shouted Sumire's name and she laughed out loud. The caller was a honey blond haired guy.

"That's Koko, he's my childhood friend."

"It's so cool that you know everyone here."

"No worries, hang with us and you will know everyone." Sumire laughed

"Gee, I will try to remember that." I smiled at her and together we walked closer to Sumire's friend.

"Hey, Sumire," Koko grinned at Sumire and she rolled her eyes.

"Hey, Dumb Boy, where are the others?"

"They are inside the school. We have to give in our documents, again. They really can't remember which blood type I prefer to drink?" he asked and only then noticed me. I smiled and his grin appeared again.

"Well, hello there. Who are you?"

"I'm Mikan Sakura." I smiled at him and he nodded happily.

"My name you already know, I guess."

"Yes," I laughed and Sumire joined my laughing. For vampires they were really nice. Then again, it was my first time going to darkness creature academy.
