The snow was red with her blood. As she stood by, the man pulled out, dripping with sweat but satisfied. Suddenly, she could feel his cold skin against hers; smell the blood on his mouth. The taste of his breath was horrible. As she cried out, someone came to help her. Then everything went black.
"That was years ago. I don't even remember her." Anne mumbled to her. The her sitting in front of her was the headmaster at Cross Academy.
"I wonder why she goes by headmaster? Is she really a girl?" she thought to herself. Anne had been called to the office because she was a prime candidate for the new female guardian. Yuki was leaving for Venice and she would need someone to take her place.
"I know you don't. And don't look at me like that! You of all people are the one I consider most capable for the job. It's just, well; vampires are a part of your past. The marks on your neck prove it, but we don't know how big a role they play. You have no parents, and no idea where you came from. You could be a vampire!" the headmaster replied.
"I know that already! But what I don't know is why you don't trust me!" she shouted.
"Look, I know this is difficult to hear, but please listen. When we find out who you are I don't know how you'll handle it. I don't need you taking revenge on students because of something a rouge vampire did to you!" Headmaster cross replied, getting irritated.
"You honestly think I would do something to hurt them?" Anne asked her. She herself had always imagined meeting her parents or their killer face to face, but never thought about what she would do. The only thing anyone knew for certain was that she had a sister who was killed by a vampire, and Anne had been there to watch.
"I don't know. As far as I'm concerned you are the most capable, as I said before. But until we find out what happened and deal with it you'll be working under Yuki."
"But she leaves in a year." Anne said, astonished.
"I know, I know. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
"My little brother…"
"Is already chosen to be a guardian under Zero for now. So is his friend Austin.
"Fine. I just want you to know one thing. I know about vampires. I know them well. We may not know about my parents, but I know them. They are beautiful creatures, but I understand some of them go wrong. I would never hurt one of them. And I may not understand why you can't trust me now, but I can prove myself. Next year I will be guardian.
The next day
"The freshmen arrive today." Yuki told her fiancé Kaname Kuran.
"I know"
"Are you worried?" she asked him. The last time new freshman came one of them had wandered off after curfew and almost got drained by Kain.
"No more than last year. Where's Anne at?" he asked. Even though his tone was without emotion, Yuki could tell he was upset. "Is she on patrol with you tonight?"
"Yes, she'll be on campus with me. Zero and the other two have the moon dorms to guard." Suddenly Anne came over to them.
"I don't mean to interrupt…"
"You're fine. What's up?" Yuki asked her. She seemed unnerved by something.
"Nothing. Just nerves. What time is lunch?"
"Noon, you can sit with us."
"See you then." She called as she ran off.
"We better be going we have classes tonight." Kaname gently reminded Yuki as they walked away.
"Yeah I know. Hey, do you know why Anne was put in the night class?" she asked him.
"No, and the headmaster is keeping her mouth shut about this one. I know Kiryu was transferred back to the day class when you switched to night classes. Maybe she wants you to keep an eye on her." He replied, grinning.
"I think it has something to do with the marks on her neck."
