Nightmare Of The Vampire

Chapter 1

Dark Hollow Academy. The place for students with high goals in life to help themselves towards that goal. A place of tranquillity and peace. Well… so they say.

It was a warm day in August and the first term had started. With the sun beaming down on their faces, the students walked happily through the tall, dark gates to the entrance of Dark Hollow academy. The crisp air made the students bursting with energy and excitement as they met up with friends. Some old, some new. The new students were the most energetic. Seeing the academy for the first time to them was like someone giving them something they desired. Among the new students was a girl called Sarutobi Mikazuki. She was petite and a fragile being. She was the most energetic student there. Although she seemed pale all the time, Sarutobi was always up to something and mainly this was mischief. She found the most excitement in winding others until they were on the brink. Her shining blonde hair was glistening in the suns rays as she made her way to the hall. At Dark Hollow, new students are greeted with another pair from the year above and taken on a tour around the school. Yet being 15, Sarutobi didn't want to be treated like a child and so the fun began.

"Hey there. You must be Sarutobi Mikazuki. I am Elisabetta Alcher," the crème coloured hair girl smiled down at Sarutobi. Then pointing to her friend beside her said, " And this is Ayame Satoshi. She's a quite one, but she's okay once you get to know her." Ayame stared at Sarutobi. There was nothing but hatred in her eyes, yet Elisabetta didn't quite know why. Ayame's eyes became wide and small, like she was terrified or angry. What was this? Feeling the awkward atmosphere Elisabetta hastily said, " Well let's get on with the tour shall we?" Ayame just nodded and Sarutobi shrugged.

The awkward feeling didn't die as the three walked around the school. Ayame walked in front, then Elisabetta with Sarutobi beside her. Elisabetta wanted to know why Ayame was acting the way she was yet couldn't bring herself to ask her. "Hey Elisabetta! Hey!" Elisabetta knew whose voice this was but didn't want them to come near. " Hey are you ignoring me? Hey!" It was Shiro Kagame. He was in the same year and seemed to have some sort of crush on Elisabetta. " Err hey Shiro. What's up?" " Hey do you fancy doing something this weekend or during the week?" The dark haired boy glomped Elisabetta who had a long face expression. He had been asking her to go 'out' with him for ages. " Huh, fine but it's not a date or anything. We are just going as mates. It will have to be during the week. I am at Ayame's at the weekend." "That's okay, I am just happy you said yes for once." Then the bell interrupted their conversation. "Hey Sarutobi do you know…" Elisabetta wanted to know if Sarutobi knew where her next class was as Elisabetta had her own. Yet she could see Sarutobi walking off and decided to leave it. Ayame was looking darkly at Sarutobi as she walked off. Seriously what is wrong with her? Elisabetta was concerned for her friend but now she has to focus on getting to class. " Shiro meet me at lunch okay? And we will discuss it later" Giving a peace sign with his fingers and a huge grin, Shiro happily agreed.

"Come on Ayame, cheer up. You've been down ever since we saw Sarutobi Mikazuki." Leaning over her desk towards her friends, Elisabetta comforted Ayame. " I am okay. It just surprised me she was here you know? And to be honest, I bet her brother will be joining this school soon as well…" Ayame trailed off, lost in her own thoughts. Then it happened. "Ok class there is a new student joining our class today please be nice to him. Ok you can come on in." with that the doors to the classroom opened. As he stepped in, all the girls had a blush to their face, even Elisabetta. Yet Ayame sat there in shock to who was standing right there. The only word that escaped her mouth could sum up everything. "…You."
