Summary: I lost everything because of the Kurans. Hundreds of years ago they launched an attack on my family to eliminate us all because they feared our power. I've been hiding in the shadows ever since. I finally agree to come to Cross Academy as a favor to Kain to help with his son. My name is Tabria Winters and I am the last survivor of the original vampires.

Chapter 1.

The snow crunched under my boots as I stepped out of the limo. So, this is Cross Academy? It's...cute.

"Lady Winters, it is so nice to see you again!"

I'm picked off the ground and engulfed in familiar arms. I can't help but laugh at the enthusiasm. As I'm placed back on the ground, I smile at my friend.

"Kain, it's good to see you again. It's been what? Twenty years since I last came to this part of the word?"

He smiles.

"Yes, I understand your hesitation to be here, especially with Kaname being here but I didn't know who else could help," he rambles and I chuckle touching his shoulder.

"It's alright. It was the least I could do. You've helped me more times than I can count and you saved my life. I think I can deal with some wayward vampires for your sake."

He smiles, his eyes getting a glassy look to them.

"Come this way, I've prepared a room in my own home for you. No one lives there but me and Zero with Yuki sometimes leaving her dorm room to stay with us."

I nod as we continue across campus. It's nearly dark and we pass a group of humans screaming and surrounding what looks to be a closed off building. Their attention is focused on the door and none of them bother to look behind them and notice us.

I look to Kain for answers.

"Those are the day students. They like to wait outside the Night class dorm rooms for the cross over just for a chance to see them. You can't see them from here but my kids are in charge of holding them off when the Night class comes through," he says pointing in the direction of his kids.

"Humans and their obsessions with danger. It's no wonder none of them have been eaten yet. I think I've seen enough, I'd like to get settled in if that's alright with you, Cross."

He nods and I follow him away from the crowd just as the air shifts. I can practically feel the energy of the purebreed as the sound of a door opening reaches my ears. Thankfully we put enough distances between us before anyone noticed my presence.

Kain showed me to a beautifully decorated room in black and red silk. My driver somehow beat us here and had already left all my bags in the room. He gave me the school uniform for the Day class. We both agreed it would be best if I stayed away from the other vampires for the time being. I may not be out to kill Kaname for what his family did to mine but that didn't mean I wouldn't hurt him if given the chance.

I pulled my hair out of my bun and let my dark locks fall over my shoulder and down my back. I grabbed some tolietries and a night shirt before heading across the hall to the bathroom for a shower.

I reached for the knob just as the sound of running water reached my ears. I guess someone beat me to it. I turn to head back to my room when the door suddenly opened and a hand gripped my wrist and pulled me inside the bathroom. The door closed behind me just as my back hit a wall. The move left me winded.

A click of a safety reached my ears just as cold metal touched my head.

"Who the hell are you?" A deep voice demanded. I shivered a little before finally looking into the face of my capture. He had snow white locks that were damp from his shower, pale skin with a lethal body to die for. I didn't feel any shame in checking him out as he stood in nothing but a towel around his waist. I bat the gun away from me but remain in place between him and the wall.

The scowl on his face did nothing to deter my assessment as violet angry eyes glared at me. He really was gorgeous.

"Relax. Is that anyway to treat your new house guest?"

"What the hell has the old man gotten into now? Listen whatever he called you for, you can leave. We don't need another blood sucker around this place."

I chuckle.

"Kain was right, you really are fiesty. Listen, Zero...as cute as you are. I don't take orders from you. I was called here to help you and I came because your father asked me to. I'm Tabria."

He snarls. His eyes flashing red. I watch as he collapse to the ground clutching his neck. He lets out a painful cry and I sigh. It's worse than I thought.

I slide down to the floor and reach out to touch him. He jerks back.

"Don't touch me!"

I slap his hand away and cant help but roll my eyes. No wonder he's having such a hard time. He's stubborn. Must be the hunter's blood in him. His fangs elongate and I can't help but look at him. He really does make such a good looking vampire. It's a shame if he were to die.

I bite into my wrist with my own teeth and watch as the blood flows from my mark. I look to Zero to see his red eyes focused completely on me. Moreso, the blood on my wrist.

I hold my wrist out to him.

"Drink it. It'll make you feel better."

"No….I"m not a monster."

I grab the back of his head and force his mouth to the wound. He struggles for only a second before I feel his lips and then his fangs slicing into my wrist. I move behind him and allow him to lean comfortably on me while he drinks. His pulls become slower and deeper. One particular pull sends a sensation straight through my body and I don't fight the moan that leaves my lips. The sound seems to only drive him on to do it again and again. I tangle my free hand in his hair. He drinks a little longer and I can feel myself becoming light headed. Finally his fangs leave my wrist and he pulls out of my hold, scrambling to his feet.

My eyes feel heavy and I know I need sleep to re-energize from the blood loss. His eyes are no longer red but the beautiful violet from before.

"Why did you let me do that?!" He commands but I can tell he's a little shaken by the whole thing.

"Look we can talk about this tomorrow alright, can you just help me back to my room across the hall?" I ask. He stares into my grey eyes for a second before nodding. A second later I'm in his arms. I lean against his chest as he carries me out of the bathroom.

My head touches the pillow and I fade off into a dreamless sleep.

Author's Note: Please leave reviews so I know if anyone is interested in this story. It was an idea I had in my head after watching Vampire Knight and hating how they did Zero.
