Bloody Roses (chapter 1)

Loud echoing steps sounded throughout the hallways of Ouran Academy. Outside the windows, the last rays of dusk were beginning to disappear. The lone girl heading down the hall was in a desperate hurry, for what reason, dear reader, you are soon to find out. After what seemed like hours rather than a couple of minutes, the girl picked up her pace, her breathing starting to become heavier with each step, her long yellow dress was tattered and dirty, an uncommon thing amongst the ranks of the Ouran students. But the real thing that stuck out was the way she was clutching her neck, a red liquid seeping out from underneath her shaking hand. She knew they were after her, and she had to get away. With that resolve in mind, she broke into a full out run. Her panicked eyes scanning for an exit, or some place to at least hide.

"Where are you my princess? We weren't done yet! We still have plenty of time left before my next client arrives~"

Someone called out in a sickly sweet voice, only serving to fuel the girl's panic as the footsteps trailing behind her came closer and closer by the second. In an attempt to put some distance between the hunter and the prey, the girl ran into the closest room. It appeared to be abandoned, but that made no difference for someone running for their life. Out of breath she slowly backed away from the door, keeping her eyes trained for any sort of movement.

"You know you didn't have to run away right?"

A voice said from behind her. In a flash she turned around to see the glowing red eyes she was running from, and the golden blonde hair draped in shadow as the sun had completely set, throwing the room into a pitch black darkness.

The girl's scream was soon drowned out by ominously serene silence.


Author's Note:

Sorry this wasn't much of a "chapter" so to speak, more like a prelude I guess you could say. Just so we make this clear though, the story will follow the main course of events that occurred in the anime/manga, but adapted to fit the story's theme. Please tell me your thoughts and keep in mind this is my first fanfiction!
