as darkness fills the place, silence spill over

one vicious thing is coming

someone monstrous that hides in the shadow of the night

She stared at those emerald eyes the moment she seized him. Unable to understand what's happening as only one thought runs in her mind. The moon is out there shining in its fullest, a full moon in the darkest night. Her people she knew are out there somewhere, doing what is necessary for survival. The thirst for blood is becoming unbearable, she just have to do it in order to survive.

She heard the noise created by her people, even if she's inside this place, she knew even in a closed eyes that they were her people. With one last look, her once golden eyes had turned into a cold red, the eyes of someone ready to kill. She gave a glimpse to his neck, it sounds inviting and with this, she put her fangs in his neck and sip the fluid of his life.

He stared at her, in that moment he realized, his life was taken. His one last breath is in her fangs and he felt his energy is draining slowly. He should be sad in this condition but he chose it himself, he chose his destiny in her fangs. Gathering his almost exhausted energy, he inched unto her, gave her an embrace amidst the coldness he felt in her, the warmth embraced of his goodbye. He had lost her.

"Cagalli."

CHAPTER 1: THE HUNTING CONTINUES

"Just abide with the plan, all right Athrun?" said Yzak, a silver-haired.

"Got you," was his short response to his radio. This blue-haired boy with emerald eyes didn't know, that after this hunting, his life would change forever.

"Cagalli, we got some information. Don't stay too far this night. The hunters have come and as what the information said, they are well prepared tonight," said the elder, a brown-haired woman with an alter ego as Murrue.

"What are you worrying. Theyare no match for our unlimited power," the blonde said almost assuringly.

"Look who's talking? You can only tell me that if you are able to kill your prey and search your own food. You're always depending on us so it's easy for you to say about not to worry," Murrue discussed.

"All right, if that's what you want I'll go ahead and search for my own food tonight," she said though she knew that for tonight, she would never hunger even if she didn't have food. Full moon for this month happened last night and so she had her ration of a glass of blood last night that will last for a month. An energy for the whole month.

Among the clan of vampires, Cagalli is the only one who hasn't tried to bite her prey personally because somehow she felt that it is not right. The elders as they were called always provide her with a glass of fresh blood and she drinks it in order to survive. She was the only the elite vampire left in their clan that is why such respect is given to her.

"I heard your conversation Murrue.You didn't have to be hard on her. Remember the prophecy," Mwu whispered in her ear.

"Prophecy? when is the last time that such prophecy came true? Would you state one instant?" Murrue said as she walked away from Mwu.

"I'm sure this time, it will. I have a feeling that it will in the form of Cagalli," Mwu explained as he walked towards her. " We just have to believe in her," he said and is now looking outside the window, staring at the empty field.

"You hope too much yet that is the reason that I fell in love with you. I just wish that we should also be conscious on the reality. Our enemy is getting closer and closer as time goes by," before she could finsih her reponse they heard a gunshot which sent them both to panic.

"What is that?" Mwu asked.

"Sorry for the immediate entrance. We were shocked by the enemy, the attack is so soon. we didn't expected such horrible thing. The enemy had located our hiding place. We better evacuate. I had alerted everybody including the other elders. Hurry up, we must escape now," said a brunette vampire.

"Thanks Kira, Murrue let's go," before the other could answer, Mwu grabbed her hand and made a run.

"We'll be using the secret tunnel. You know where it is, right? " he asked

They both nod, but as they made a run, Murrue remebered Cagalli, "Wait. Cagalli, we have to find her first. She told me that she is going to search for food tonight. She must have gone out to haunt for food."

"I'm sorry but I have to keep your safety first. We must believe in her, being our future leader. She could take this moment to exercise her power and eventually become an independent vampire and a very strong one," answered Kira.

"But--"

"We must trust her," Mwu answered to calm Murrue without knowing that their precious Cagalli had been surrounded by Yzak's group.

"Don't you ever try to escape. The rope we used to tie you is not ordinary. It was especially made for you, you freaking vampires," Yzak said as he slapped Cagalli who's fangs had been shown. Cagalli's eyes are burning in anger, in hatred as it stared into Yzak's blank eyes.

"So tell me, where are your comrades? We had raided the place and wedidn't find any single damn one!" Yzak asked pointing his gun on her head.

Silence.

"Speak up or I will shoot you," Yzak asked and gave Cagalli a kick in her stomach. " What are you defending them for? they have left you, see? Wouldn't you like to take your revenge?" he asked

Yzak prepared to give her another kick when he herad Athrun's voice," Stop it Yzak. The way you act made you look like them, though in another way," Athrun said.

"Why are you defending her? didn't you see, this mission is a failure," he answered looking at her as if in anytime, he is willing to shoot her down.

"I'm not defending her, we could bring her to the laboratory for experimentation. We could even discover their secrets for regenerating or their weaknesses so would you used your mind and think straight. You said so yourself, we had failed this mision. Still we're lucky that we had catched one vampire," he said and looked at Cagalli.

By this time, Cagalli had transform back to normal, like an ordinary person without the fangs and her golden eyes returning. When she heard the word vampire, she turn around to see the person who had said it, and her eyes met somebody else's eyes. A very cold green eyes. An eye for an eye. With the feelings overflowing, she had swear that she would take her revenge, not to her people but to these guys especially the silver-haired man who had kicked her.

Athrun felt her piercing golden eyes. He felt sorry for her, what are you thinking Athrun? She is just acting innocent so don't even believe her, yet he couldn't take his eyes off from those stares. He felt something special with those eyes.

Cagalli averted her gaze as she noticed that those cold green eyes had been staring at her and somehow it felt warm. No, those eyes were made to haunt and kill us, she thought " hey you! would you stop staring at me or suffer my fangs when I escaped from this rope,"she threatened.

"I couldn't care for less," answered Athrun to Cagalli's amazement. She didn't believe that he had actually talked to her as she thought that he would ignore her. You're brave to talk to me amidst your condition. But your the one who is suffering now. Vampires? They still have the guts eventhough the situation does not favor them, he thought.

"All right men, let's head to the base," Athrun then ordered which yield an unlikely look from Yzak.
