"I don't want to go!" I yelled. My mother was sending me to a boarding school, Cross Academy, against my free will. Everyone had heard of the prestige school. There were two classes, the day class and the night class. The night class was known for it's good-looking students. Everyone in a hundred mile radius melted at the sound of the night class. I thought it was overrated and stupid.

"Too bad, Juliette! I already said you were going, and that's final! So, start packing you leave tomorrow!" My mother yelled back at me. I stomped up the stairs and down the hall into my dark bedroom. I didn't bother to turn on the lights. I threw myself onto my bed, and tears began to stream down my face. Why all of a sudden does she decide to send me away? I haven't done anything wrong. I've been a good girl, other than the few fights we have every once and a while. I reluctantly started to pack my clothes, making sure to safely put the picture of my father in my suitcase.

I resembled my father in many ways. We both had straight auburn hair, bright green eyes, and extremely pale skin. One night, when me and my mother were out shopping, someone had broken into our home. My father was home alone and tried to fight him off, but was killed in the process. That's all my mother would tell me at least. Ever since I have had the feeling that something was missing, like that one last piece to the jigsaw puzzle.

After finishing packing, I put on my pajamas and went to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long and boring day. It took me no time at all to fall into a deep slumber…

"Stay away from me!" I screamed. "Leave me alone!" A dark shadow was approaching me. I backed up to an unsuspected tree. There was no where to run, no where to hide. It was just me and my pursuer. How could it end like this? I thought everything was finally perfect. Next thing I knew I blacked out.

I jolted up from sleeping. I looked at my clock. It was only 4:00 AM; I didn't need to get up for another hour. What was that dream about? I had never been to that place before. What was I running from? I shook my head and told myself not to worry about it. It was just a dream anyways. I didn't bother going back to sleep. If I tried, I would probably have over slept.

After eating breakfast, I decided to go get changed into my new uniform. It was a white-collared under shirt with a black jacket, and a black mini skirt. The jacket had white-lined embroidery and two cufflings on each sleeve. A red bow had to be tied around my neck. I looked at myself in the mirror in disgust. I looked like a little preppy school girl. I hated it!

It was soon time to be off to my new life. I had no clue what I was in for. I heard the school was big and very private. I still had no clue how I got in. I hadn't applied for enrollment. My mother was smiling joyously as we drove to Cross Academy. She didn't say a word and niether did I. I was too upset at her for making me do this.

We pulled up to a huge gate with an odd symbol on it. Next to the gate was a sign reading "Cross Academy." So I guess I'm in for a lot of rich snobs. Hooray! I rolled my eyes. Could this day get any worse? The school was gigantic. There were so many different buildings. When we arrived at the main building a girl was waiting for us. She looked about my age. She had sholder length brown hair, and brown eyes to match.

"Good morning! I'm Yuuki. You must be Katherine." Yuuki held out her hand for me to shake. Being the kind person I am, I shook it and smiled. Even though I didn't want to be here, I wasn't going to be rude.

"Hi." I said. Yuuki nodded. My mom didn't bother and stay. She just hugged me good by and drove off.

"Let me show you to your room, and then I'll introduce you to the chairman." Yuuki said, as she grabbed one of my bags. I followed her in silence, as she pointed out some things on campus. All I remember is where the classes were held.

"Here we are, room 15." Yuuki handed me my key and let me put my things down. It was a small room, but It didn't really matter. Yuuki led me back to the main building, so we could meet Chairman Cross. She told me how he was her father and she had a brother named Zero. I was hoping that he wasn't as upbeat as Yuuki. She might be a nice girl, but she got pretty annoying after awhile.

"Chairman?" Yuuki knocked on the chairman's office door.

"Yes! Come in. Come in!" He beckoned. I walked into a nice sized office, with a big desk in the middle. The man sitting behind the desk was introduced to me as Chairman Cross. He had long dirty blond hair tied into a ponytail. His glasses relfected the light in the room.

"Welcome! You must be Juliette. How are you enjoying the school so far?" He asked politely.

"It's nice." I meant it in the kindest way I could, but it came out a little sour. He didn't seem to notice.

"Good, good! There's something that I need to talk to you about though." All of a sudden, the atmosphere became very serious, following the look on the chairman's face. What did I do? All I did was put my stuff in my room. Was that a crime around here? Yuuki was the one who told me to.

"We have a program going on here, which Yuuki and Zero are a part of." Chairman Cross motioned to a boy leaning against the wall at the other end of the room. This must be Yuuki's brother. They didn't look anything alike. Zero had silver hair that fell into his face. His lavender colored eyes were captivating. He was extremely attractive. His silence was a clue that he was nothing like Yuuki. He looked up at me, and caught me staring. I turned my head back towards the chairman, without a sign of intrest, though I was very much interested.

"They are prefects. They protect both the day class and the night class. We feel that you would be the perfect addition, so here's your arm band. Welcome to the prefects!" Chairman Cross said in a too cheery tone. He handed me a white armband with the same strange symbol that was on the front gate.

"Isn't this awesome Juliette? Now we can get to know each other better!" Yuuki cheered as she gave me a hug that I didn't return.

"What?" I asked. "Why?" Yuuki looked at me increduosly, like she couldn't believe that I thought this was odd. I saw Zero look up out of the corner of my eye.

"I had a feeling you would be reluctant. Let me care to explain. We know your father was murdered when you were young." The Chairman said.

"How do you know that? What does that have to do with any of this?" I yelled. Who were these people?

"Calm down. It actually has to do with a lot. Your mother thought you needed a fresh start, so she contacted me, and explained the whole story." My hand balled into a fist that grew tighter and tighter with every word. "I also know who killed your father." My head flashed up in surprise. How could this man know who killed my father? No one did, not even my own mother. Chairman Cross bowed his head and then slowly looked back at me. "It was a vampire."
