It's so cold. Where am I? What happened? I can't see anything, it's too dark.
Cold, so cold.
Where am I? Hmm... I can't remember what happened to me.
That's right! I was late for school and I was in a hurry, and then there was that guy with white hair... but I can't remember anything after that.
"Do you want to live?" A voice came from the darkness.
"What? Who's there? Wait, LIVE? You mean I died?" I asked, trying to see who it was that was speaking to me, and where I was. Then the memories came back. "That's right. I got hit by that truck when I tried to save that guy." I felt tears come to my eyes. "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry."
"I will ask again, do you want to live?" The voice asked again. I paused for a moment before answering.
"Yes."
"Even if you have to give up everything you hold dear? Even if you have to give up your old life-" I was confused and interupted the voice.
"Huh? Give up my old life? What do you mean?" There was no response from the mysterious voice for a few moments. "Hello? What do you mean by give up my old life?" There was a slightly irritated sigh.
"No more questions. There is no time left. Do you or do you not want to live? This will be the last time I ask." The voice sounded impatient.
'What should I do?' I thought. 'Man, today sucks, but I have to choose. If I don't, then I will die.' I felt weak. I needed to answer, and I knew what it was.
"I... I... I want to live."
"Good choice." The voice said before I fell completely into the darkness.
What's that sound?
"Honey, she's waking up!" Said a familiar voice.
"What, really?" Said another.
"Veri, my baby! I'm so glad you're alive!" I slowly opened my eyes to see my parents.
"Mom, Dad, where am I?" I asked when I looked around. I was in a hospital. My mom looked slightly surprised.
"What? Don't you remember? Honey you were in an accident."
"That's right! I got hit by that truck when I pushed that guy out of the way." My parent's looked at each other, slightly worried.
"Guy? Honey, there was no one there. The driver lost control of the wheel." My dad said. I cocked my head slightly, raising an eyebrow.
"What? That's not what happened. There was a man with white hair crossing the street and the driver didn't see him and I jumped to push him out of the way." My mom shook her head sadly.
"Oh honey, you must have hit your head too hard." I was slightly shocked by my mother's words.
"But Mom-"
"No, that's enough. No more talking. You need to rest am I understood?" She said firmly. I sighed as I looked to my lap.
"Yes Mom." My parents smiled softly, kissing me before exiting the room.
'What the hell is going on? Why is everyone acting so weird?' I thought to myself.
"Good, you're up." Said a familiar voice. I jumped.
"Aaah!" I shouted. "Who the hell are you?" I turned to see a man.
"Oh right, I have't introduced myself. My name is Shadow. It's nice to meet you Veri Yue." I felt slightly light headed and fell back onto the pillows in my hospital bed, barely being able to pick up my hand to place it against my forehead. Suddenly my head started to hurt.
"Ow!" I flinched, then dropped my hand. "Why do I feel so weak?" I asked no one in particular. The man with white hair, Shadow, flinched slightly.
"Oh right. I'm sorry. I said your full name." I looked back to Shadow.
"Shadow?" I said while staring at him. He had white hair and a strange case of heterochromia, having one blue eye and one red eye. He looked familar, and once my head stopped hurting as badly, it clicked. "Wait! You're the guy from the street!" Shadow nodded with a light smirk.
"Yup, that's me."
"Wait, how did you know my name? And why are my parents acting weird? What's going on? My mom and dad said that I didn't save you, that no one was there but me. But I remember you. Explain!" I glared. I may not know this man, but if I ended up in the hospital because of him, I deserved some answers.
Shadow sighed. "That may take some time to explain." He said. I crossed my arms over my chest, careful of the IV in my hand.
"Well, I'm not going anywhere's any time soon, so I'm all ears." I said, causing Shadow to sigh again. He was quiet for a few seconds before sighing again.
"Okay, fine. I am what is known as a Blood Breed."
Okay, so this is actually my boyfriend's story. He doesn't have his own account, so I'm posting it for him. Well, he thinks of the general story, and I have been given perrmission to throw in emotions or actions he may not have thought of. He's a little self conscious about his abilities to create stories, but constructive critisism is welcome! This will have anime/manga characters in it, we promise, but he wants to get his protagonists developed a bit first.
