Escaping Prison

Yuuki stared out her closed window. This was not a house anymore and she knew it; this was a prison. She watched as the stars lit up the sky all around her, and the moon shone into her small room, the silver glow reminding her of the one thing she missed the most. She closed her eyes and thought, and then her mind was made up. The last straw had been broken, and now she was going.

She searched through her closet trying to find something to wear. Finally, she settled on something old fashioned: her prefect uniform from the Academy. Grateful she had it enlarged and fitted to her growing body, she quickly dressed in it. Putting on her mid-length knee socks and black boots, she strapped Artemis under her skirt and strapped it to her thigh like always. She grabbed the bracelet she received from her long lost friend and slipped it on, before quickly and quietly slipping out her window.

She stopped on the roof as her gut dropped; there was a bad sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Quickly, ignoring it, she jumped silently onto the top of the roof and moved across in order to get to the front of the mansion.

"Leaving so soon?" A voice asked from behind her. She froze.

"I'm not staying here. I'm going to where I really belong." Yuuki continued as she began to step forward, until the voice stopped her.

"Yuuki, you know I cannot let you leave. And to what? Go back to that parasite? He could never give you anything I could…the type of protection I could." Yuuki's anger flared in her throat as she bit down on her lip hard, bringing blood to the surface, to contain the yell she was holding.

"You don't know anything, Kaname…" She spat out before making a bolt for the end of the roof. He beat her there as his hands grabbed hers and locked them at her side.

"I said you're not going anywhere." His voice was harsh and final, but Yuuki ignored it and countered it.

"You don't control me," She said, eyes narrowing, before she broke the grip he had on her hands and moved away from him. He was a little shocked that she was able to get away from him so easily, but quickly turned his expression hard again.

"If you continue to leave, I will have no choice but to stop you by force," he said as his hair guarded his eyes, his emotions hidden behind them. Yuuki put one hand on the scythe on her thigh as she readied herself to run.

Yuuki took off from her spot, her vampire powers kicking in as she ran incredibly fast. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, and when she looked, blood had gushed out of it and into the air. Two hands grabbed her arms and pinned them behind her.

"You cannot win Yuuki…" He trailed off. Yuuki felt helpless, but then the face she had longed to see for so long flashed in her mind, the face of Zero, and she felt stronger than ever. Kaname felt an evil aura from her; it was something he was not used to.

Yuuki summoned all her pureblood power to her mind, as her eyes opened they revealed the color of blood. Kaname fell to the ground as he gripped his head in pain, and while he was down Yuuki quickly ran off. She then felt yet another sharp pain, this time in her leg, but she ignored it and kept running.

"You'll regret this Yuuki! You can't hide from me!" She heard Kaname yell at her, but she dismissed it as she continued to run. She climbed a tree as she sprinted from the branches in order to stay out of sight.

Yuuki knew she was losing a lot of blood, and so she stopped on a very high branch on the tree. She sat down and winced in pain, her wounds hurt a lot more now than they had before. Yuuki bit down on her wrist and drank her own blood, hoping that it would heal her wounds even a little bit. As soon as she felt minor strength return, she was off again.

"Find her. She cannot have gotten far. I don't care what you have to do, but get her back to me. Now." Kaname whispered in a deadly voice before multiple vampires snapped into position to do his bidding, and dispersed. He gritted his teeth as he paced back and forth around his small office room. It was quite ironic to have such a small office in such a large mansion. Yuuki never got it, but then again he never did explain it.

"Yes I know…" He spoke so someone unseen.

"We will get her back…we have to…" Were the last things heard before Kaname disappeared, a dark figure in the corner following after him as soon as he left.

Yuuki kept on running for as long as she could, she would stop for a short time, but then continue on for a day. She was running for two sunsets straight and she had to stop. She was in a foreign town and so she retreated to the top of a tall skyscraper-like building and rested for a while. Suddenly, the smell of fresh blood graced her nose, and the thirst was almost impossible to ignore. She followed it down into a small alley where a boy sat in the corner, completely overtaken by fear as a Level E vampire was walking casually up to him. Yuuki spotted the parents not too far away; they were both dead and lifeless.

She acted on instinct, as she quickly swooped down into the alley. Artemis burst open and she sliced it right through the Level E. The woman screamed before quickly turning into nothing but sand. She walked over to the boy, whose eyes had been shut the entire time and talked to him.

"Shh, calm down little boy. It's ok. The evil woman is gone…" She said as she patted the boy on the head. He looked up shyly and then quickly shut his eyes once more, obviously traumatized from the event. Yuuki went quickly into a small store she found and grabbed a piece of paper. She jotted down what had happened to the boy and gave it to the woman who owned the store. She looked down and read it; here eyes froze open in shock. When she looked back up though, Yuki was gone.

She was trying very hard, very, very hard to resist the temptation. The bodies were just laying there…their blood draining into the ground…and Yuuki was so thirsty. She quickly shook her head as she jumped back onto a high roof top. She continued the process she had been doing for the past couple of days and bit into her wrist, giving herself a slight amount of energy. She quickly took off running and jumping once again.

Days passed by as Yuuki felt her self slipping away. It was now the five day mark, and she had not eaten in a week. True, she had been with Kaname before this, but she refused to eat there as well. She rested under the cool shade of a large tree as she gathered her thoughts.

He probably hates me…

What am I going to do…?

What am I going to say…?

I wonder if…if father will accept me…

Yuuki's mind plagued itself with questions and doubts, before finally she settled for running instead of thinking. She began running, but quickly stopped as pain shot all around her body. She had moved too quickly, and the gash in her shoulder and neck has opened back up, and the one in her leg never healed to begin with.

Shit…at this rate I'll die before I even get there…

Yuuki sat down once more as she used her temporary fix. She ripped a piece of her jacket sleeve off as she tied it snuggly around her leg wound, for that was more important. She closed her eyes and breathed in, focusing all her pure blood power on her next task.

How long…focus…

After minutes of concentrating, Yuuki finally got her answer. If she continued at the rate she was moving now, she would be there in less than a day. She got up quickly and then began walking, making sure her movements were lithe and simple. She got the gist of what she wanted, and then she was gone.

Finally, after a little over a day, Yuuki reached Cross Academy. She stumbled through the large gate, as she was now using Artemis as a tool to help her walk. She smiled slightly as all the scents flew into her nose, one of them standing out more than any of the others. She made it to the steps of the building as her hand reached forward. But her vision had become blurry, and the next thing she knew her face was on the hard concrete of the steps as her Scythe fell on the door and slid down next to her. Her eyes began to close as the days of restless running and not feeding caught up to her, and she could only murmur one last thing before completely going limp against the ground underneath her.

"Z-Zero…"
