Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Vampire Knight or any of its Characters

This originally began as a series of one shots, published separately, but then I decided to place them into a collection of short stories... or memories. Certain characters may have more than one. And I shall take requests, for any characters you may want doing. I am going to do more than Yuuki, Kaname and Zero, but any characters you want just ask. I have my own ideas which memories/ Story I am going to use/ make up, but I can also take request for a general storyline. (But only from events previous to Guilty (I am not reading the new stuff...)

Anyway,I hope you enjoy it. (Incl. The King and Queen and The Elegy (which have now both been deleted in order to be included))

*WARNING* may contain spoilers. ^_^

It is hard not to look back for too long. The White towers spiral up to the sky, a sky dotted with spectral clouds, and a never ending wail of wind. Behind me I abandon some of the people who have made me who I am today, in some senses. I leave my best friend and room mate, a girl who always knew when I was down, would always rush to my side and always cover for me. Despite the fact I am now what I am, she still values our friendship. I was the only real friend she ever had, and now I leave her behind, perhaps forever. I leave my deranged adoptive father, who waddles around the Academy wrapped in blankets, pink ear muffs which were once mine on his ears, a constant steaming mug of Hot chocolate with marshmallow's in his right hand. I never told him, how much I really loved him as though he were my father or perhaps an Uncle, I had never actually had. I also never told him, I knew he was gay. I leave behind someone else, someone who was my shining white knight. Zero.

I stare once more at the high walled Academy and smile, the wind drifting leaves before my body. So many memories lay behind those secure walls, so many different stories not only my own. Each person has a story to tell, but for a while mine seemed to take prominence. For instance, the three Vampires squabbling and sighing slightly higher than me on the stairs, over luggage have a story. I may not know what it is yet, but I vow to find it out. The handsome dark knight standing protectively beside me, staring in wonder at the scene before us, has a past I need to unveil from him, perhaps to save his own soul. I have never been clever, but this new life...

I treasure my memories of the past, every single one, be it blood stained, drenched in agony and sorrow, or memories of my time in the building I know leave. And I dream of a time when we can all live in peace, me, and my dark and white knights, in happy solitude, free from the riddles and traps of wars and the past. Just happy been with each other.

I remember something my father always used to tell me, his voice echoing in my mind:

"Reach out, for the light at the end of the dark abyss and when you reach it, hold it and never let go, even when that light fades, keep your dream with you always and you will be immortal truly."

I never understood that meaning until now. A collection of leaves floats past me, beckoning me onwards into my new life, with my old dream, a new hand encased in my own. I hope that he can forgive me.

She has become a fairy tale... for now she has escaped. Her slender neck calls to me through her wispy hair, I can almost feel the blood pulsating though her veins. I move the hair out of the way and lean in closer, my mouth opens.
