Chapter One: The forest
Running through the forest . . . free. Not one human to bother them. No petty mortal foolishness to bother them. The scent of her blood hung in the air like a heavy mist that would not fall from the sky. She screamed as she fell to the dampened earth while her hunter followed close behind her. Her legs and arms were bleeding from cuts that were recently made from running into tree limbs and HIM. She was a wounded creature to him. Her blonde hair was a knotted mess while it lay down her back. Her blue eyes wondered the darkened forest as the mist fell upon her erasing her scent from the ground but somehow he closed in on her. Her purple school uniform was caked with mud and blood. Her top was torn to the midriff and her skirt had tears in it.
His dark mystical figure walked stoutly to her laying frame that shook fiercely. His arms extended out to her as if he was a zombie. High-pitched huffs that went along with the tears were sweet blissful music.
"Kaname!" She said relieved it was him but something was different this time. His eyes were dark, distant, hungry. "Kaname you don't want to do this!" Her powers went in one ear and out the other. He was now an untouchable. The ones that go insane from their hunger only in the night. She hadn't fed him in a while but she didn't think that it would do this to him.
"Shut up! SLAVE!" He screamed. He pinned her to the ground with his body.
Her whimper only made him madder. He wanted to have all of her life force.
She would now give it up to him no matter how he had to take it.
"Kaname stop this. You don't want to do this." Her words circled in his mind, pushing it back to the way it was supposed to be but it wasn't a great enough push to make him come back. His lips rested on her neck where the shoulder and neck meet and his demon fangs went into her pure plump skin as the energy poured out with the blood. Her body shook under him profusely, her energy draining along with her life force. His poison ran through her veins like acid.
"Master! Master!" Kaname finally realized what was happening to her. He held her face with his roughened hands.
"Kaname?" She said as her eyes rolled in the back of her head and let her head fall to the ground. His electric magnetic pulse smothering her as she lie there. He picked her up with his muscular arms and carried her back to the safe cabin. No one could find her there. She began to whimper and hit his chest as a fever fell upon her. He finally looked at her, not like how he normally did but really saw her for her and not just his master. Mana was his and no one else's and he wasn't going to lose her now.
"Kaname! What the hell happened?" A voice said as a figure ran from the cabin.
"It's Mana." Hyoue said almost in tears.
"Mana." The other boy had blonde hair and seemed to be a good friend of Kanemes, said almost in a question. "She was fine almost an hour ago. What happened? Look at all these fresh cuts, she must have lost a lot of blood if she was running with these freshly opened." Kaname didn't say any- thing to these accusations. "You did?" Kaname still not saying anything but just stared down at his arms at his master. She belonged to him and he almost hurt what was his.
"You don't know what it's like, Itsuki. She was bleeding and her energy was way too strong and I just needed a little taste. I could not hold back anymore." Kaname said still staring at her.
"I know what it's like. Kaname you promised her you'd keep her safe even from you. You swore an oath." Itsuki said angrily.
"I know that I did. I still see the branding mark on her arm from us. You know I hate being me." Kaname said as they walked back to the darkened cabin while she lie in Kaname's arms.
