So, as you may or may not have already known, I put Kyoto Mew Mew on hiatus. I did this because I believe it's not well written and I have writers block for it. But, as for Vampire Hearts, I have plenty of ideas swirling around in my head at the moment, and… Let's face it. Chapter one wasn't that well written. Therefore, I will re-write chapter one and re-post it for the story. Jeesh, I sound like a college professor!


When you go to bed, you have dreams, right? Well, have you ever had a dream that felt so real, it was scary? It isn't a pleasant experience, especially when this 'feel-real' dream starts out with the feeling of floating; and the problem of not being able to open your eyes or move your body.

What… what is this feeling…? Am I… floating?

My name is Raven Madison. I'm your average Goth. Wears black, thinks horror, loves vampires, and dates them, if you count that as normal.

What the…?

Slowly but surely, I was able to open my eyes; only to be greeted by darkness. Nothing but cold, solid darkness. And the weird part was: I felt like I was underwater, but I was most certainly breathing, and I wasn't wet.

How am I breathing underwater? That is, if I am underwater. And more importantly… where am I?

My eyes started closing, and I struggled to keep them open. But that problem became of no importance due to the fact that I was abruptly turned upside down. Or was it right side up?

A huge blinding light engulfed me, and I quickly shielded my eyes. As soon as the light dimmed, I uncovered my eyes. I was standing on the edge of an island.

Where am I?

I looked all around in amazement. The sky was clear and blue, and so was the water. I was standing on a huge, beautiful island (with a tinnier island attached to a bridge on the bigger island). I knew there had to have been people there because I saw tree houses here and there.

I was about to explore the island, when I felt a presence behind me. I turned around, only to see a girl with her back towards me. But I'd know that white hair anywhere.

She was Luna, little sister of my arch nemesis Jagger. She had tried to take Alexander; my Gothic knight of the night and only other Goth in Dullsville; away from me (just because she still had a crush on Alexander and he had rejected her in the nicest way possible and was now with me).

I glared at her back.

Oh, great. Stupid vampire and little sister of public enemy number one has to ruin this?

I was about to say something (not nice at all) when I noticed something was off. Luna is a vampire that can't go out in sunlight. It was probably noon here. I started to walk towards Luna when I noticed a wave. A very, very big wave. And it formed right in front of Luna. A look of terror formed on my face as I tried to call out to Luna. But it was like a silent movie, and no sound came out of my mouth.

Suddenly, Luna turned around and put on a fake smile. She held out her hand to me, the fake smile now a simple smirk. Now, as much as I hate Luna, I didn't want here to die. So I did what any person would normally do. I tried to run to her and grab her out stretched hand. But no matter how fast I ran, the wave came faster.

The wave was close now, and I was close to Luna. So, so close. I almost grabbed her hand, but the wave engulfed both of us, and I closed my eyes tightly. Ok, I was still worried about Luna and all, but what about me?

Ugh! Why did I have to do this? Luna and I hate each other anyway.

I opened my eyes, and Luna was standing up straight in the water. She held out her hand again, the smirk still plastered on her face.

What the… How is this possible? We should both be dead or something!

I started to swim towards her, but a current was pushing me back. I struggled to reach her, but the current was still stronger than me. I was pushed back, and was feeling light-headed from lack of oxygen.

Just as I felt like I was about to pass out, I was able to swim back up to the surface. I breathed in big gulps of air, and noticed it was now sun set. An array of reds and oranges and pinks painted the sky, making it beautiful and picture perfect.

Pushing the thought out of my head, I tore my eyes from the sunset and turned around, only to see the island. I noticed a person on the island waving out to me. I immediately knew who it was. My Gothic knight of the night.

Alexander! Yes! Hopefully he'll know what's happening!

I swam as fast as I could, not noticing the fact that I wasn't wet like I should have been. As soon as I reached him, I hugged him and gave him a big kiss. He was smiling brightly. But the sunset popped into my head. The sun was still out. And Alexander was on this island.

Wait a minute… Alexander… outside at daytime? Same with Luna! What the…

Then I noticed the ring. It was on Alexander's finger right below the spider ring I gave him. It was a simple silver ring with an onyx on it. I looked into Alexander's eyes with confusion. He just smiled bigger and kissed my forehead. I was about to say something when Alexander looked up at the sky.

I looked in the same direction as him, and noticed a huge comet shower. I stared in awe.

A comet shower! Wait a minute… hold on…

I would have thought that it would be a romantic moment, but something was even more off than everything else. And that's saying something. What was off was one of the comets. Only, it wasn't even a comet. It was… me.

This is impossible! That's not me! It-it can't be me!

I was shocked and confused. How could that be me? All of the sudden, I felt like I was falling. I quickly tried to grab onto Alexander's arm, but I missed. Alexander looked at me with a look of confusion, but it soon turned into a look of shock, and a look of terror on mine. Instead of hitting the water, I kept falling.

No…!

I reached for Alexander, and I called out for him, still no sound coming from my mouth. He called out to me, too. There wasn't any noise from him, either.

No… no!

I felt like crying, when the image of Alexander rippled like water and disappeared. I reached out for the spot where Alexander was, but immediately felt weak and tired. Reluctantly, I let my hand fall to my side and let myself fall as a tear fell from my eye.

No… I can't be separated from him… Not again!


I gasped and sat straight up, breathing heavily. 'What the hell?' I thought. I looked around. I was in the same old room and in the same old house. Breathing a sigh of relief, I got out of bed. You see, 'feel-real' dreams can take a lot out of you, so as soon as I got up, I fell right back down onto my bead.

I sighed, and laid back down. Why did I feel so exhausted? I mean, it was just a dream. Was I… was I actually there? No, no, that's impossible. I woke up, and in my bed, no less.

I looked at my alarm clock. It was 5:30 AM. 'Of course,' I thought. 'I woke up way to early on a Saturday.'
