DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT OR THE CHARACTERS, EXCEPT SAM, SHES MINE:}
Sam ran in the forest, gripping her neck while trying not to fall, as she ran, she looked behind her and quickly turned back. "Stop running little girl!" it yelled closing in on her. "Leave me alone!" she yelled, hearing no noise behind her, but she continued running. By the time she got to the school, she was exhausted, she ran into the school and into the room labeled 'Headmaster'. As Sam barged in she noticed 4 people there, blood smeared all over her shirt, skirt, face, and hands, her neck aching from getting bit before she ran "help" she whispered, but did not see if anyone heeded her request before her world faded to black.
When Sam woke up she had a pounding headache and her whole body ached, especially her neck, while looking up, she put a hand over the bite marks and hissed. Giving a confused look to all the people looking at her, a girl a little younger then her, with short brown stepped forward, "Are you okay?" she asked. Sam nodded and sat up, leaning up against the headboard. The man she assumed was the headmaster of the school asked "How did you get here?" "Clearly I ran," she said, before looking up and seeing the hurt look on his face "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude." His expression was replaced with a small smile. "Who are you? I need to know so I can help you."
"My name is Sam Hanadashi, I am 12 years old. Anything else?" she said lightly brushing her fingers through her long dark brown hair. "Ok Sam, why was there blood all over you?" her attitude seemed to deflate at the question. "A vampire attacked my family. He killed them and I ran away because he said he was going to kill me." She had tears welling up in her eyes. "I left them, and… and…" she stuttered. A young man with the same color hair as the young girl, but older then her said "There was nothing you could have done, he would've killed you" "I know but it doesn't do me justice." She stated while calming down. "You are welcome to stay here and attend school here in a few years." Headmaster offered. "Thank you"
Zero P.O.V.
We sat in the guest room waiting for the strange girl to wake up so we could find out why she was 1) in the forest and 2) why she had blood all over her, but she hasn't woken up yet. The way Kaname was close to Yuki was making me glare as if I had heat vision, I turned my head toward a rustling noise I heard, and saw the girl open her eyes and rub the sleep from them. "Are you ok?" Yuki asked. The girl nodded as she sat up and leaned back. "How did you get here?" Headmaster asked. "Clearly I ran" she said, I resisted the erg to not snicker at the comment. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude." She said.
She introduced herself as Sam Hanadashi, at hearing the age my head picked up for some reason, 'She's the same age as me'. But, what caught my attention the most was hearing that her family was murdered by a vampire and the way she cried saying that she left them, even though she had no way to save them, it made my heart swell about two times its normal size. I've never felt this way, not even when Yuki helped me through the years with my parent's death.
With Sam I had the strong need to walk over there and hug her till the world ended and never let anyone hurt her again, but I was to afraid to tell her it was going to be ok. Headmaster ushered us out of the room, before he shut the door all the way I turned around to look at her. She was looking at me with curiosity, fear, and a small smile on her face. I may not be able to show her but I vow to protect her. I walked back to my room down the hall from hers and climbed in bed, hoping that no horrible nightmares of the incident plague her dreams from now on.
4 years later
It's been 4 years since Sam came to stay with us, 4 years since she told us about her family. To think that an argument between Yuki, Kaname, and I could've put us in the position for Yuki and I to make a new friend. Yuki and Sam are now as best of friends and Sam and I have become pretty close as well, and still neither of them know of my secret. I remember when Sam would wonder in my room crying when we were younger and beg to stay in there because of her nightmares that made her wake up screaming. When Headmaster found out I thought he would be furious but no, he placed another bed in my room and since then she stayed there.
Today was like any other day, boring classes, long prefect hours, and I still get to be around vampires that I'm not allowed to kill. When Sam found out that our school was harboring vampires she freaked, she claimed they were monsters in human form, I agree with her on that note. But now she's very comfortable with the vampires that attend this school, except Aido, apparently her blood type draws him to her like a magnet or something.
I was walking when I noticed Sam patrolling across from me and she was really out of it, she continued to walk and stare off into space. I stood there smirking and waited for her to notice me standing there. But my plan did not go as I thought, she walked right into me and we both fell to the ground, she squealed as we fell, I comforted her fall as she landed on me. As soon as we hit the ground she started laughing hysterically, "Zero" she said in between laughs.
"You idiot. You made me fall." she said, standing up and holding out her hand to help me up, I took it and grinned. "I saw you standing there. I just wanted to see how far you'd take your little joke." she said dusting herself off. "At least we're almost done here, I'm tired." I said yawning as she followed. "God your contagious" she laughed.
We walked back the school grounds near Headmaster office, and went into our room removing my shirts and shoes before climbing into bed. Turning towards Sam as she through her shirts and shoes into the corner, leaving only her tank top, I noticed the scar of a bite mark on her neck, I growled. She jumped into bed and turned her back towards me, "Goodnight Zero" she whispered as she drifted off. I stared at her back, before turning over and drifting off myself.
After classes Sam, Yuki, and I headed over to the moon dorm to begin our prefect duties, once we got there Sam headed over to one crowed of girls and managed to get them settled. Yuki and I got them settled as well, until the gates opened and everything got out of hand again. Yuki blew her whistle, making all the girls become silent and get in line leaving Sam in the middle, "Come on" she said throwing her hands up and walking incredibly slowly to the side of one of the lines. I glared at Kaname as he said hi to Yuki, but failed to notice Aido walking towards Sam as she was tried to keep the fan girls at bay.
Sam P.O.V.
I had trouble trying to keep the girls from getting to close to the night class and did not see Aido advancing toward me, until all the girls practically fell over from amazement, I resisted the urge of rolling my eyes. I turned and faced Aido who wore a very pleased smile, raising my eyebrow "What do you want Aido?" I asked while most girls where giving me a scowl.
"I just came over to say Hi" he beamed, I sighed.
""Hi"
"Go to class Aido" Zero said as he stood next to me, Aido pout but left, Zero glared as Aido's form faded as the night class headed to the school. I looked over to Zero and sighed, 'One of these days Zero going to shoot him.'
As the night went on nothing suspicious happened, except Zero leaving prefect duties early 'It's like Zero to slack, but not to ditch and leave all the work for Yuki and me'. The rest of the night went normal, Yuki and me watched as the night lass headed back to the moon dorm but not before Aido decided to whisper in my ear as he walked by me "I bet Zero's not feeling well, its only a matter of time." He walked through the gates and left me confused, stunned and temporary unavailable as I tried to decipher what he meant.
"Sam…Sam…" Yuki said more agitated now "Sam!" she nearly yelled.
"Huh? What?" I said snapping out of the trance I was in.
"What did Aido say to you? I've never seen out so out of it?"
"Nothing" I laughed nervously putting my hand behind my head, Yuki nodded her head as she didn't believe me, but she dropped the subject.
"Come on. Lets head to bed, I'm exhausted." I said racing her back to the Headmasters office. When we parted way I started to think about what Aido said, but forgot as soon as I opened mine and Zeros door expecting Zero to be there in bed asleep but he wasn't there. 'Guess I'm sleeping alone tonight.' Not that I mined he used to do this back when we were little, he would stay in some other room for a night, but he never told me why. He always told me to stay away if he was sleeping somewhere else for the night, just demanded I followed the one rule he had. I slipped out of my shirts and boots, before climbing into bed. Before finally going to sleep I started to wonder more of why I must leave him alone at times like this, I hated leaving him alone, especially when I had no idea what's wrong with him.
