May I just begin this by saying that this will contain dub-con...probably...tbh I have no idea why I do these things. I'm terrible.

This probably not be all that long of a story. And I do not know if it will have a happy ending...yea I'm evil like that. Here is A SHORT INTRO THING OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT. Whoops, and that is caps lock...too lazy to fix that.

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or any of the characters.

Zero had always been different, and people hated him for it.

He was know as 'Red' or just 'The strange boy in the red cloak'. Nobody hardly talked to him unless necessary, except a crazy yet kind man who treated him as his own son. And Cross didn't exactly improve his reputation as it was...

"Oi, Red. I need you to run an errand for me."

Zero sighed and looked back at the older man, his cloak fluttering in the wind, contrasting his black pants and shirt.

"What is it?"

The man grimaced and handed Zero a package, obviously trying to avoid contact. Not that Zero really cared.

"There is an older couple, hunters, that live up on top of Wolf Mountain. Could you deliver this to them? You are the only one that can."

Zero nearly scoffed. More like the only one that would even think about it. Wolf Mountain didn't get its name for no reason. It had lots of wolves, big ones at that. And there were even rumours of actual werewolves too. But Zero doubted those.

He would have been a Hunter, if not for the fact that his parents died when he was very young, killed in a dangerous hunt. He didn't end up training and taking the course but he did, by law, get a weapon. The Bloody Rose was its name; It was as deadly as it was beautiful.

He sighed and nodded, turning back around and holding the package close as he headed toward his ''father's'' house.

"Waaaaa, Zero-kun! You can't! It is so dangerous!"

Zero rolled his eyes, ignoring the bubbly man practically draped across his back as he put a few small and necessary items into the inner pockets of his cloak.

"I'm going to do it. He'll pay me good money for it if I do. Besides, a few wolves don't scare me. Even if they are supposedly 'big and scary'. I have Rose."

Cross whined and continued to harass Zero as he finished gathering the items he needed. As he walked to the door he grabbed the package off the nearby counter, opening the door and trying to push his adoptive father, who was now clinging to his leg, off of him.

"I'll be back in a day or two. Don't worry."

Cross clutched the doorframe and watched Zero walk away, only once the young teen disapeared from sight did his face lose his bubbly mask. Becoming worried and unhappy.

"Zero...be careful. You have no idea what you are really getting yourself into."
