Chapter#1: The New Student Who Doesn't Have the Past In Her Hands.
It's raining cats and dogs outside along with lightning and thunder. It's a perfect storm for nightmares to happen.
In the Head Master's Office
The Head Master turned to face me with a calm scary glance, over his shoulder. It scared me but I wasn't going to show him that. I would have shown my emotions more openly before but not anymore. My name is Scorpion, Scorpion Scora I don't know my last name. In fact, I don't even remember my past and I'm what 16? 17 maybe? I don't know. The only thing I do remember is my name.
They say some stranger found me in the middle of the woods deeply wounded. And that person brought me here, to Cross Academy. They said I had a terrible head injury that resulted in memory loss. I believe they called it amnesia. I also had many cracked ribs a fractured tibia and a badly bruised hip.
The first memory I have is waking up in the school's infirmary with the President of the Moon Dormitory and the Head Master. Both looking at me, unfortunately, I can't recall any of my conversations with them. Only my actions I believe they were nice. But I felt someone's touch a few nights past the first morning that I wake up. It felt disgusting on my skin to the point that it had made me sick. So I went to the showers to bathe.
If it wasn't for my stubborn determination. If it wasn't for my disgust or the relentless scrubbing until I bleed I would have never known about the vampire tattoos or the scars. There was three of the spellbinding, taming, of a vampire tattoos. One over my heart, the next right next to my right hip but not on my hip like really close to it. It would be hidden by my pants but slightly peeking out. Then one over on the other hip but on my back also peeking out. Then finally one right over my heart. I had trusted them, so much. . . I never knew how many scars I had until I got in that blasted water. There were so so many scars. I skin crawled with goose bumps and shuddered just thinking about how many, there are on my body.
When I had asked about my scars the Head Master told me that they were from the accident. . . But there are too many to be from the accident. Just what was I doing to get the scars in the first place? Just what am I a vampire ex-human thing or a vampire that's just tamed? The President of the Moon Dorms told me truths I checked with the other vampires to make sure. Or they all could be in on it. I can't seem to trust anyone can I? Or for that matter, I can't seem to make out the truth from a lie. (sigh) I'm too trusting.
That lying cheat of lying ass bastard. I had trusted him so damn much. I feel so cold and numb to the world and to myself right now. But I also feel like something or someone is missing and is in danger like I must get to them to know they're safe, no I NEED to know they're safe I sense it. And then sometimes my body strength is so things I crush a doorknob when trying to open a damn door. Or if I trip my body automatically catches its self. Like I did it on instinct and the funny part is no one noticed that I had tripped. And when I wake up, I wake up to broken objects. The strangest thing is that I know how to trick people on instinct. How to fool them into thinking something else and trust me this skill has saved me from many Day Class students. And I can always make believable lies.
Funny thing is I accidentally threw a knife into the Head Masters kitchen wall just trying to cook a meal. And I almost got him I missed him by an inch above his head. HIs face was what was funny, though if only you could have seen it. Plus, when and if someone tries to attack me my body moves elegantly but also in a dangerous way. I hurt them so badly to the point they have to get to the hospital. The thing is I don't even try to hurt them either. But I never feel sorry only if I accidentally hit someone mainly vampires but they understand.
The Head Master has been talking but I don't know what. Only that I've been watching his mouth move and trust me it is not nice. But if you really pay attention he actually spites A LOT.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I couldn't hear him.
It was just like his lips were moving but I'm not getting any audio. (You know the joke with InuYasha and Kagome Kagome says 'InuYasha I can see your lips moving but I'm not getting any audio.'
I had hidden my tattoos in makeup so that they couldn't tell that I had found them. Since it was one of them who had covered them in some strange covering thing in the first place. But with me, you never know it could have been ME who did it in the first place. Or even the person who had found me.
Hmm...
There's one more thing my mind won't stop having ideas about. Like how I could kill this person or that person with the tiniest things like I could kill them by using their own earplugs or with the music they listen to. I'm always on alert thinking someone could be like right here or behind this corner. I know how someone might try to kill me! So I'm always alert and tense I don't have any time to relax since I found my hidden scars and tattoos.
I am terrified of myself ( depressed sigh) I really wish I could remember my past. Without it, I'm really a big danger to others. I even know how to dance and my clothes feel weird on my skin like I must take them off. So I avoid wearing a lot of heavy clothes and I wear very little clothes. And I have to confess when I'm in my dorm room I take my shirt and bra off. What? It hurts and feels weird on my skin besides I don't have a roommate. So I can do whatever I want and I hate having my bra on so yeah I am going to die when my time to follow the dress code comes in. Which I would do anything to avoid or stale that time just a little longer. And I can't go anywhere without some form of weapon on me another wise I feel naked. (sigh) I really hate myself sometimes.
"Scorpion are you in there? Scorpion?" The Head Master asked gently as he lightly shook my shoulder.
Blinking I looked up into his eyes. "Scorpion, are you okay? Are you well? You look pale." his voice was soft and filled with a gentle caring.
That only made me feel even sicker than I already was. I was disgusted. Sharply I turned my head to the right and snorted in disgust with myself and. . . THEM. Roughly I shook off his hand. I heard him gasp in shock to my reaction. I crossed my arms and snorted again.
"Sc-Scorpion I-I (sigh) . . . how do you feel?"I didn't want to answer him but I did anyway.
" I feel sickly," I stated maybe a little too coldly he was only concerned for my health after all.
But he did lie to me many many times. Can he still care even if I hurt him the way he had hurt me? Can anyone really care about me?
Oh, did I forget to mention that the Moon Dorms President was also in the room? He was so quiet that I almost truly forgot he was here. Oh and since I live in the Moon Dorms his my President too, so yeah that sucks. But he just reminded quite like he knew I knew either that or he had the idea.
"How sickly like how do you feel? What hurts or how do you feel sickly? To what extent?"
"I feel cold the type of cold that gives you the chills. That runs down your spine,"As I described the feeling, I felt the cold run down my spine making me shiver. But I continued anyway. " The type of cold that comes from the pit of your stomach and up to your heart. It leaves the body numb from the amount of shame in it. In a freezing cold breeze that numbs you straight to the heart and deeper. Like a burning fire that burns spreading seeping into the heart. But it's also the type of cold that you get when you are sad. The type of cold that should have had a break out in a cold sweat. The type of cold that churns and twists the stomach."
I could feel the tears prickle in the back of my eyes. 'No not now' I could hear him take a step back. Then a pause in breath as he walked back to his desk and sat down. I could hear his chair creak as he leaned forward. Fingers intertwined as he rested his head on them.
"Can you place a name to this feeling? Should I have someone to get your medicine?"
'Who does he think he is, my mother?!' 'or is he trying to be my therapist?'
"Yes I can place a name to this FEELING and no I don't want medicine to thank you very much." My tone sharp and in a warning for him warning him not to push any harder. My tone didn't go unnoticed by my dorm president though as I heard him that in a sharp breath. Not the breath that says 'I'm scared but the breath that says don't push anymore or something bad might happen here'. And I think it would be the 'something bad might happen' one. Hey, at least he noticed that much.
"Head Master maybe you should drop the subject, Scorpion appears unstable you have pushed too far."
Unstable huh? Well, I'll show you how unstable I can really be. I growled low and dangerous. Which just proved his point
... damn it!
Sadly the Head Master either didn't hear him or he simply ignored him. All though it did get on my nerves that he called me unstable even though it was a very accurate description of my emotions at the moment. But at least, he cared.
"Do you care to share then? Sharing is caring you know." I turned my head sharply to face him. My hands falling to my sides as I clenched them into fists, unconsciously drawing some blood.
"Well, I don't care and its all your fault for lying to me in the first place! The emotion I feel right now is betrayal!"
Then at that insect moment, thunder and lightning struck close to the window shaking the building. But also giving me enough time to run before they saw my tears. Thank goodness the light blinded them for a few moments. No one tried to stop me. As I ran I remembered one of the things he told me.
"Now Scorpion the dress code doesn't apply to you until you know how you like to dress but you still have to wear the uniform. You'll be in both the night and day class. To see which one you feel the most comfortable in, that understood? Scorpion? Hey, Scorpion you alright? Scorpion?! Doctor! Doctor come quickly!"
The tears were trailing down my face in buckets as I ran, blurring my vision. I rushed downstairs and flung open the front doors to the school and ran out into the rain. And now my tears would never be noticed ever again.
This I promise.

I sighed as Scorpion ran out of my office. Getting up out of my chair I walked over to the big open window behind my desk and watched as Scorpion fled from the school.
"You shouldn't have pushed her so hard," Kaname stated "that was wrong of you especially with her unstable condition. Instead of running from you, she could as easily have killed you and trust me if she knew who she was, and how she had to protect, she would have." His voice was annoying right now only because he was right.
I sighed and nodded "Your right I shouldn't have done that but I had to know what would happen if I pushed her." I sighed deeply but this time in shame. I had known of what emotion she was feeling when she had described it to me. The cold burn of betrayal, she was feeling it so strongly that it had made her sick. I really, really should have seen this coming. And I really shouldn't have pushed her as far as I did she told me not to push any further but I ignored her wishes.
"She'll come around, besides it is not entirely your fault we were following her parent's instructions." "Yes, but I shouldn't have pushed her that far."

Kaname turned to look at the spot where Scorpion had stood you could see her little trail of blood leading out of the room. Scorpions trust is very fragile and easily provoked. But she trusted him now and he had to keep it otherwise he'd lose it, completely. Kaname was spread out comfortably on the Head Masters couch. his school uniform just a tad bit loose but another wise nothing was too different.
He was just tired you could read it in his eyes tiredness and the sad fact of being lonely. The Head Master turned to look at him and sighed he knew why he was so lonely but there was nothing he could do about it, at least not right now. Or was there.
"Kaname you should go rest its raining and the sun should be up soon."
Kaname just turned his tired eyes to look at him. He had a sad look on his face. He had terribly sad eyes like a kitten missing its mother. His eyes were so sad that the look actually caused you pain too. Even if you didn't look at them just the gaze of his eyes looking at you from afar made your heart hurt.
It even went as far as Takuma coming to ask the Head Master if he knew what could be done. To simply help him. Several different vampires had come looking for answers. And it made both Kaname and the Head Master happy to know that they cared.
But the day class students have gotten even more creative they go through the school's air vents to look at them now.
And if the day class students couldn't see them from the school events or vents they would go to the dorms vents, to see them.
Aido and Akatsuki woke up to girls in their room. And trust me they check the vents before going to bed which is really funny to see. When Ruka asks what they're doing. It is priceless.
To fix the matter, the Head Master has placed a Security Guard in the Night Class.
And Kaname is was very interested to meet them but he had yet to tell the night class
