DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gakuen Alice, but I do take credit for the plot and my OC's.
He didn't know what pushed him over the edge. It could have been the thirst. He was just dying to sink his teeth into a pale, exposed throat; to be filled with the irresistible taste of fresh blood; to feel the pulse of an innocent flesh beneath him; to see the crumpled body, dead. Or it could have been the fact that they had fed him nothing but that pathetic excuse for blood the days he was in the academy. Who could survive of that crap? His senses were already starting to dull and his body was adapting to its lack of fresh meat. More likely than not it was the smells that pushed him over the edge. The humans. They had been so close but he had yet to take one of their lives. Now, as he crept through the Sakura trees as stealthily as possible, he could safely say it was the best idea he has had in days.
Bingo! He thought as he spotted his next victim. She was sitting alone in her room with her lamp on, reading what looked like a cheesy romance novel. Her head was bent slightly exposing the major vein as it coursed with blood. She looked irresistible. As a response to his hunger, his fangs extended, drawing blood from his lower lip.
"Having fun?" A monotonous voice snapped him out of his reverie.
He turned, fangs bared, eyes red. In front of him stood a sexy brunette with both hands behind her back, dressed in all black. Her scent was intoxicating. Just one sniff sent him into a frenzy. He pounced at her, ready to take advantage of what he thought was a poor innocent little girl. He hadn't notice the movement of her hand as she revealed her wooden stake, he only felt as it pierced his chest, only a fraction of an inch above his heart. As he fell, only one thought came to mind, That beautiful devil.
The sound of her heels echoed loudly through the vacant hallway. Her friends had been considerate enough not to wear noisy shoes, for they all knew the vampires would be up and about at that ungodly hour. She didn't care too much for those filthy bloodsuckers. To her they were inhumane and whatever sympathy she had for humans, which was in many cases lacking, was not reciprocated with vampires.
As they finally reached their destination, her friend, the brunette, stepped forward and opened the door. The brunette walked in and the rest followed. The room looked like a throne room of some sort. There were many vampires, but one raven haired, crimson eyed vampire sat atop the throne.
"Hotaru," said the raven haired vampire, addressing the girl in the noisy heel.
The girl, who had long black hair and dark violet eyes, twisted her face into a scowl. She motioned for her other companion, a blond boy who was carrying what looked like a dead body, to drop his cargo at the feet of the crimson eyed vampire.
"I don't want to see your trash roaming my campus, Hyuuga," spat the Hotaru. "The next time this happens, we kill him."
The raven haired vampire motioned for one of his subjects to I.D. the boy.
"He's the new student," they informed their master.
The crimson eyed one nodded. He then turned his attention to Hotaru, "You know you're not allowed to kill us," He snarled. "The second you kill one of our own, we kill you."
"I'm not afraid of you Natsume," growled Hotaru. "I have more than enough training in how to dispose of your kind."
"Guys stop!" exclaimed the brunette, as she became a physical barrier between the two arguers. "My dad created this school so vampires and humans can get along," she began. Then turning to Natsume, the crimson eyed vampire, she said, "I'm sorry for taking down one of your vampires," she said referring to the new student. "He lunged at me. I had to!"
"Keh," said Hyuuga. "You think I care?"
The brunette expected as much from the vampire lord. "I was trying to apologize you jerk!" she screamed.
Another vampire, Natsume's second in command, stepped forward. He had this big, goofy grin on his face. "It's okay Mikan," he started, "We'll forgive you because you're just so damn hot."
Mikan blushed, and started to respond, but she was cut off by Hotaru. "You're pathetic, Koko" Hotaru spat. "Why don't you find some other filthy bloodsucker to flirt with?"
With that Hotaru grabbed Mikan's hand, turned on her heels, and exited the building with her blond friend scrambling to catch up with her.
Koko watched as the trio left. He waited a second before turning to Natsume, their leader. He might have been the second in command but he only wielded a fraction of the amount of power Natsume did.
"You're in some deep shit, you know that right?" He questioned.
Natsume turned to towards him revealing a tired, solemn face. He didn't respond.
"Don't you think all of them have the right to know?"
Still no response.
"When are you going tell Hotaru that she's actually a vampire? That she's actually your sister? When are you going to tell Mikan that you drank her blood? Don't you think she deserves to know that she's bound to you for eternity?"
Natsume exhaled heavily while he ran his fingers through his jet black hair.
"Tell them Natsume," said Koko as he prepared to make his exit. "Or I will."
Mikan watched silently as Hotaru dragged her out of the building. She didn't understand why her best friend hated vampires so much. Mikan regarded them just as she regarded everyone else. Mikan also couldn't understand why Hotaru took this job upon herself if she hated it so much. Hotaru knew going to a school where both humans and vampires resided would be hassle. She knew that becoming one of the mediators would mean being friendly to the creatures she loathed so much. So why take on the job? What was her ulterior motive?
A/N: I've read many vampire stories but never dared to try writing one. I think I need to try writing different genres so this is just an attempt. It might be really horrible, or really good. Tell me what you think so I know if I should continue it or not. And for those of you who are dying to know, the new student is an OC. He is only in this story to give you guys an insight on what the other vampires are thinking. He will be showing up in later chapters and yes, he does have a name. Anyway, leave me a review if you want, and I will continue this story. I plan on updating every Thursday but I'm not perfect. Sometimes I might, sometimes I might not.
