Chapter 1
I'm a normal sixteen girl, with dark brown hair and red highlights for just some color. I have pale white skin, and I was skinny like a stick but not sickly looking. My eyes are pale hazel, blue-green. I mostly wear long sleeve shirt and dark blue jeans with black converse shoes. I'm pretty tempered at times, protective, but caring and loving. I guess you could say I'm like a candy bar. Tough on the outside, but sensitive person on the inside. And you should know something about me, I love anime television shows. My top favorite is "Vampire Knight" and "Wolf's Rain." Of course I'm the type of girls that squeals when I see Kiba, Zero, Kaname, and the cute little boy Toboe. I mean cute as in brotherly cute, and I'm pretty sure he's like what fourteen?
"Kami!" a girl behind me calls my name. "Oh hey, Jess," I told as my head was turned to see her. "So have you finished watching the 'Vampire Knight' shows yet?" she asked me excitedly. "No, not yet." I told her. She frowned at me and said, "What's keeping you then?" "Uh… homework." I said making it sound like a question. "Oh, well finish it sooner and watch more," she told me, "Well I better get to class early. I wanna sit next to John! BYE!"
I stood there as I watched her. John was the guy that she had a crush on for a long time. I've known Jess since I was in pre-school. We've been best friends ever since then. I walked to my next class, which was astronomy. Great, the lesson on stars and how they form. I waited for the time to go by for school. I really did like the Vampire Knight shows. But my number one show was Wolf's Rain. I had seen all of the episodes to the series and loved them.
When school was over, I went outside into the bus bay and waited for my bus to come. "KAMI!" a male voice had called my name. I turned and saw one of my guy friends, Tyler. "Hey, Tyler," I told him smiling. "What you doing after school today?" he asked me with a smile on his face. "Oh," was the first word to come to my mind, "I'm doing homework, then after words I'm doing chores. Then if I have time, I need to finish watching Vampire Knight so that Jess can stop bugging me." "Quite a hand full of stuff you do," he said as his smile turned into a frown. "Uh, what was it that you wanted to do after school?" I asked him. "I was going to ask you if you wanted to hang out, but I know you're busy now," he said with a sad smile. My sympathetic face wasn't really helping my situation much. "Well maybe some other time. Other wise I would," I told him smiling now. He grinned at me and waved to me. I waved back to him and he walked away.
I got home and went into my bed room. I dropped my bag on the floor along with my book. I walked into the dinning room that lead to the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom grading cheese and my dad putting noodles in a pan. "What are we having for diner?" I asked. My mom didn't answer and my dad answered me as he sighed, "We're having spaghetti." "NO! WE'RE HAVING PIZZA!" my mom shouted at him. He glared at her and she glared right back at him. I walked to the fridge and got out some left over ravioli. "I'm not gonna eat anything that you guys are making, so it should be easy on you," I told them. "Kami, you should eat my pizza. I made it from scratch," my mom told me looking at me with pleading eyes. "For once," my dad muttered. My mom slammed her hand on the counter. My dad didn't turn around or say anything. She started to shout at him. I put my ravioli in the microwave and walked out of the kitchen into the living room. My little brother was playing a video game. He was always silent when ever mom and dad argued. Which was a lot. Some times I wished that me and my brother would escape to Cross Academy, if it was real. Or even in paradise, where there were lunar flowers everywhere and no one would bother us.
My brother glanced up at me with a sad face. My eyebrows furrowed in anger, and narrowed my eyes at the carpet. I still could hear my parents fighting, it made me upset and I wanted to slap them both for making my brother live through this. I closed my eyes and thought, 'Couldn't my brother and I live at Cross Academy. I would help be a Guardian there during the night class. If it all were real, I wish for my brother and I to be there.'
A hand was tugging on my long sleeve shirt. I opened my eyes and saw my little brother looking at me with a smile. "Kami, I don't like it when they fight. Can we just run away," the eleven-year-old boy asked me. I looked at Timmy with a sad face and said, "I would take you, we would run away, but there isn't a place for us to run away to." I looked at the kitchen and my parents were still yelling. "Go into my room, we're gonna watch Vampire Knight," I told him. He smiled and ran away to my bedroom.
I walked into the kitchen, got my food, and walked away. I walked into my bedroom where my little brother was sitting on my bed waiting for me to put on the show. We watched the last episode of Vampire Knight. "Wow, Kami. I didn't think that Yuuki would go for Kaname," my little brother told me. I was finished eating by the time the show was over. I smiled at him and said, "Yeah, it's kind of sad." "If he was real, I would hug him." he told me. I smiled and nodded.
"Kami you like Zero right?" he asked me smiling. I smiled back at him and said, "I like his character." "But you two would be perfect. You both scare people off, and you both don't like to be bothered," he told me. I looked at him and said, "Thanks little brother, you make me feel like I'm the nicest person in the world." He nodded at me closing his eyes and giving me his biggest smile. I rolled my eyes and left the room, but then I forgot to bring my fork. I walked back to my door way and I heard my brother whispering to himself.
"I wish you were real Zero. I wish that Kami and I could escape and be with you and Mr. Chairman. I wish you could be my older brother, I wouldn't replace your other brother, but it would be nice if you were my brother. Kami needs someone to be with. I wish you and Kami to be together." He was finished talking. I frowned and walked a little ways away, then I went in to my room saying, "I forgot my fork. See how forgetful I am?" I looked at my little brother picking up my fork. He laughed at me and said, "It's fine Kami. Can you draw me Kami?" I looked at him in confusion. "Draw you?" I asked him. "Yea, like that," he said pointing to my drawings on the walls. I looked at them and smiled. "Sure, just a minute though okay?" I said leaving the room with the fork this time. I rinsed my plate off in the kitchen and placed it in the dishwasher. I looked into the living room and saw my parents glaring each other from across the room eating their dinner. I rolled my eyes and walked back to my room.
"Okay," I said. I got out my pencil, a piece of paper, and a folder to have something to help me draw. "You wanna look anime?" I asked him. He smiled and nodded. "Okay," I told him. I looked at my brother for a while, I began to draw the head and long wavy hair, I drew the eyes, the mouth, and the rest of the body. It took me an hour to draw it. Then I looked at him and asked, "Do you want it to be colored?" He thought about it for a minute and said, "Uh huh!" he was really happy. I colored in the drawing for him and gave the picture to him. "There you go," I said giving him the paper. "Thanks Kami, I love it," he said. He hugged me and ran out of my room with the drawing.
I pulled out my homework and started to work on it. I worked on it until nine. After that I went to bed to sleep. I was so tired and didn't want any disturbance from my parents for once. My brother used to always come into my room to sleep whenever mom and dad fought. His room was right next to them. But I think after a while they decided not to do that anymore and slept in separate rooms. My dad slept in the Master room as my mom slept in the couch. Now my brother doesn't come in my room anymore. I just wanted peace in this house for once, which I knew wouldn't happen. The only time when there was peace was when my brother and I were alone in the house. We would talk and think about where we would go if we ran away.
Our parents would worry about us if we ran away, and I concluded that there would still be even more fighting after they would have found us. I knew that one would blame the other for makes me and my brother leave. I laid in my bed restless. I waited for the hours to just pass and to finally fall asleep. When I did get sleepy, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I heard a soft knock at my door. It woke me up and I went to my door and opened it. As I did everything sort of looked strange. Like everything was different. "I can't sleep, Aneko," Timmy said as he was rubbing his eyes. Aneko was my nickname in Japanese my little brother had found on the internet. He's called me that for months now, and I've gotten used to it. I looked down at him and sighed. "Come on Yuuto," I told him. Ever since he gave me my nickname I gave him one too. I decided to call him Yuuto.
Timmy walked into my room and laid down on my bed. I rubbed my eyes and sat on my bed, leaning over towards my desk, turning on my nightlight. Timmy's eyes were still opened and on me.
"What's wrong Yuuto?" I asked him. "Mom and dad. They're not yelling but their just arguing. I hate it. I wanna go to Cross Academy, Aneko," he told me. "Yuuto, I already told you why we can't run away. And Cross Academy isn't real anyways." I told him. "Aneko, we could go to a place like that," he said. I stared at him and said, "Go to sleep Yuuto, I'll put you back in your bed when mom and dad are done fighting." I didn't want to continue this conversation. Timmy closed his eyes and rolled over on the bed. I waited for him to start falling asleep.
I waited for at least what felt like an hour for Timmy to be asleep. Then I had to go to the bathroom. I was pretty sure that he would be ok to be in my room a little longer. I walked out of my room and closed my door slowly trying not to wake him. Down the hall I could hear my parents arguing. I rolled my eyes and went to the bathroom. After I went to the bathroom and washed my hands, I began to think about what Timmy told me. Not just about running away, but going to a school where the people would take care of us. I shook my head and combed my hair. I heard a strange noise that sounded like it was coming outside.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! WAH BOOM!
I shrieked in horror. At first I hid under the sink in my bathroom as the parts of the ceiling was falling to the floor. I ran out of the bathroom and into the living room where I heard my parents last. It was still dark in the house and I heard voices talking in the room. I looked around the corner. I saw someone that looked to be a woman. She had bright blood red eyes. The first thought that came to mind was one word.
"Vampire, a level E," I whispered softly to myself. "It can't be though." I saw someone else that moved behind the woman. "We need to finish cleaning out this town," the harsh male voice spoke out. The woman hissed at him and said, "I smell blood still. I need more." I heard a loud thump and a scream. I gasped in air as I was about to scream and felt someone from behind me close my mouth their hand.
"Don't scream or breathe heavily, the vampire will scent your fear more then your blood," a different male voice said into my ear. "THERE ISN'T MUCH TIME WE HAVE IN THIS TOWN!" the harsh male voice said. The woman hissed at him again and I looked a little bit closer and saw her dragging my mother's dead body. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried not to breathe as much as the person behind me told me not to. "Squeeze my hand," he whispered into my ear, "It'll get your anger out of you faster for now." I squeezed his hand as hard as I could as tears rolled down my cheeks.
The man and vampire woman left in some flying aircraft and continued to bomb the town. They did it for another few hours making sure that there wasn't a living thing. When they did leave the male behind me sniffed and said, "They are gone now." "How do you know," my voice cracked a little. "I can sense it," he told me. I looked at him in the darkness and he said, "I'm a wolf, that's why." I looked away and saw that my bedroom was destroyed. "Timmy!" I screamed. I tried to pull everything off of my bed. The male who told me he was a wolf, helped me out. I found Timmy's body on my bed motionless. "Timmy?" I whispered. There was no response. "TIMMY NO!" I shouted and cried holding my little brother closer to me.
