Chapter 1
"RUN!" yells a mysterious voice. Run? But why? There's nothing to run away from. "Run! Hurry!" it yells again. No, I can't. I'm too tired to run and my body won't let me move. Suddenly, I hear a gunshot ring out through the air and see a young boy with long brown hair pulled back into a ponytail fall down to ground, his brown eyes empty and devoid of all life, blood dripping down from the gunshot wound in the middle of his forehead. Shortly after his lifeless body hits ground it shatters into little shards of glass. I look over at where the gunshot came from and see two men standing there, one holding a pistol and the other a sword. They both smile at me and walk towards me as I tremble in fear. "You're next little girl," said the man with the sword. He raises it and swings it down towards me at a tremendous speed.
I let out a blood-curdling scream as I sit up in my bed, sweating profusely as tears stream down my cheeks, my eyes widened in fear. I put my hands on my face and tremble as I let out shuddering breaths, trying to forget the dream I just had. I grasp at the silver cross dangling from the black ribbon tied around my neck and start to calm down, feeling its cold metal pressing against the palm of my hand. A young man with a slender body frame and shoulder-length dark brown hair opens the large oak door to my room and walks over to me with a worried expression on his face, wearing black pajama bottoms. "Are you okay? I heard you scream." he says in a gentle relaxing tone. I shake my head, still mortified and unable to speak. He sits down on the bed and wraps his arms around me, pulling me close as he strokes my head. "Did you have a bad dream?" he asks, even though he already knows the answer. I nod my head, my forehead rubbing against the center of his bare chest as I slowly stop crying. I close my eyes, a small smile forming on my lips as I feel him rub my back in slow small circles. "It's all right now Rin." he whispers into my ear, "I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you while you are here. I promise."
I sit up a little and look at him, my brown eyes gazing up at him as he reaches down and gently places his hand on my cheek. He smiles gently at me, the sight of his garnet-colored eyes sparkling in the sunlight making me blush. I try to look away so he doesn't notice but he stops me, holding my face in place by my chin, locking his eyes on mine. I close my eyes as he moves his face towards mine. Oh my god he's gonna kiss me! I open my eyes when I feel him press his lips against my forehead. So close. "You really want me to kiss you that bad?" he says with a smirk on his face. My cheeks glow bright red from embarrassment, knowing that he knew what I was thinking just by my facial expression. "W-Why would I want you to do that?" I say as I turn my head away from him, completely in denial about my feelings. "You must really want to get into my pants Rin." he says, his smirk growing wider. I look at him and shove him away from me, watching him fall off the bed. He lands on the ground with a thud and starts laughing. "That's not funny Kaname Kuran!" I yell at him, my face completely red in embarrassment. "Well it must be true," he says with a slight laugh, "your face is completely red Rin Tsukiyori." "Shut up…" I say quietly as I pull my legs close to my chest, turning my head away from him. He gets up and crawls on top of the bed towards me. When he gets close to me he moves his head close to mine and gently bites my ear, causing me to widen my eyes in shock when I feel a slight prick. "Your blush is really cute." he whispers teasingly in my ear.
He pulls away, getting off the bed. He then walks over to the doorway. I can't help but stare at him, entranced by his good looks. "Now go and do what you need to do to get ready." he says knowing that I'm looking at him, "We have class in 2 hours." He walks out, closing the door behind him and enters his own room, which just so happens to be next-door to mine. I let out an agitated moan as I lay back on the bed, my long brown hair fanned out underneath me. I stare at the canopy of my bed and pull the ties that bind the sheets of fabric to the posts on the bedframe, causing them to flutter close, enveloping me in darkness. I close my eyes and sigh. "My first day here at Cross Academy and I already have someone messing with me." I say to myself with a slight blush on my face," But why'd it have to be the Night Class president…" I close my eyes and drift back to sleep, remembering what happened earlier that day.
