Chapter 1. Nightmare
I'm five years old… There is a knock on the door… Mama and papa rush in and tell Yuuki and me to hide. Kaname takes Yuuki to a safe place, and mama tells me to take care of her. I nod. Mama kisses my forehead and hurries off, once again, leaving me alone. That was the last time I saw her… I search for Yuuki, but I could not find her. I looked around for her outside in the snow storm. Soon, I found her sitting in the middle of the storm, alone. She looked so innocent, so afraid. Remembering mama's words, I run to her, eager to be with someone. Once I get there, a figure appears. He looked crazed for blood… Our blood. Yuuki cowered into me, and I wrapped my arms around her, protecting her. Then Kaname-onii sama came. I thought that he had come to save us, but, he had only come for Yuuki.
"YUUKI! COME TO ME! I'LL KEEP YOU SAFE!" he screamed to her. I sat there, in the snow, dazed as I watched Yuuki and Kaname leave me. Never looking back once. The figure, realizing that the two had gotten away, and that I was alone, advanced. I closed my eyes and awaited my fate. I was shaking with fear with tears streaming down my face as I felt his rough tongue graze the skin on my neck. I felt his hot breath as he opened his mouth wider, and as he was about to come down, there was a gunshot.
~End dream~
I shot up from my bed, shaking, crying, and covered in cold sweat. Yuuki automatically got up and came to me. She was my protector, my only friend. And though I was to protect her, she didn't need me.
"Hiroona… Hiroona, are you alright?" she asked, her voice dripping with worry, though she dared not touch me. I cowered into myself and calmed myself down. Just as I was almost fully calmed, our door burst open. I pushed Yuuki into the corner and took a protective stance in front of her.
