Hello everyone (: I have written a story for you all, and it's about a girl named Mea. The first few chapters are going to be somewhat confusing, and a little different, but don't worry it'll get better (: Please read on and make comments and suggestions. Email me () I really want your opinions! Thank you *roles out story*
I remember the smoke, the screams from the people who were trapped behind the burning doors, but most of all I remember seeing the figure of that boy as he ran into the snow dusted night; his silver hair tussled lightly by the wind. I remember and I dream of him turning to look at the small me, alone on the opposite end of the burning home I had loathed; I dream of him smirking at the me who couldn't even move, and him running further into the night. Gone.
I was alone, sitting in the ashes of the manner, when the Chairman found me. At first I was afraid when I saw him walking through the white snowy clearing, his long silvery hair, jacket, and scarf waving in the wind had made me think that he was a hunter, but as he came closer I could see that he was nothing of the sort. He wore wire classes that made him look somewhat feminine, and his hair was pulled back into a loose pony-tail. He didn't see me at first, and I had debated on weather I should crawl away from his presence while I had had the chance; too late. As soon as the man saw me he stopped in his tracks. I remember his words like they were said just minutes ago; sweet and loving. No one had spoken to me in that tone before. No one.
"Have you lost your way, young child?" he was edging closer, stopping at the start of the black ashen snow, "You know," he was looking up for the house that no longer stoop; up at the grey, flakey white sky, "there was once a house here. As beautiful as the duchess that lived inside," Duchess?, "this manner stood prideful and strong, even though it was alone in the clearing, but it was massacred, burned to the rubles you sit in. Did you know that?" his dark eyes were piercing into me, and I squirmed under the weight his gaze.
I was always told to lie, so I shook my head. "No," I mumbled, thinking of more to add on, "I-I was just sitting here because it was warm. I'm a...trash." I pulled my legs closer to my chest and picked up the ashes like they were sand, letting it run through my fingers and stain my creamy skin. It burned, but I didn't flinch which made me smile a little to myself.
He gasped before crunching through the black, making his way closer and in an instant I was pulled up into, surprisingly, firm arms. His scarf was wrapped around my chilled frame before I could even make a comment about dirtying it up. "Then I'm taking you as my own," his smile was bright, and filled with something-an emotion I had never seen before, "would you like a home and a father?"
'Father.' I rolled the word through my head, a real father; one that cared if I was gone, one that actually loved me; the me that was really me, a father I could run to for help, a home. I nuzzled my head into this strangers chest, warm. Closing my eyes I smiled when I felt his body rumble with a light chuckle.
I made a dissension that day. I wouldn't tell anyone where I had once lived, my past, or what I really was. No one would know; only me. Only me.

I woke up in a small room on a somewhat soft feather bed. It was dark, but the fire to the far right of the room gave off a gloomy light for me to make out the rest of the details. The windows had no blinds, and from the inside I could see that it had stopped snowing and the moon was now dancing its rays across the sea of white that had settled on the surrounding land. With a huff I pulled the heavy blankets away from my body and walked to the door, standing up high on my tows I reached for the handle, and with a click the door creaked open. I knew people were here; three of them, I could hear them before I opened the door, the Chairman, a girl about my age, and a...a boy. I gasped.
"No way," I mumbled before straining my ear to listen in on their conversation even more. The boy was talking with the chairman, I couldn't help, but cringe at his voice; noble and pride filled. It pissed me off.
"Her name is Yuuki," the boy declared, "she was just minutes away from that place, and I protected her from a LevleE."
The Chairman clicked his tongue, "there seems to be more of them lately. I'm starting to wonder if this school will be a good idea. You know so that you're able to be closer to her and...your kind," he was chuckling now, "Yuuki, your supposed to eat the pudding not poke it.
Yuuki was the name of the girl.
"Kaname..." the Chairman had no time to finish. I could hear the weight of the plush couch give as Kaname (the noble boy) sat down next to the girl.
"Yuuki," there was something in his voice, something deeper than words could honestly explain.
I smelt the blood before she cut her finger, but I didn't know that she'd run in my direction, and before I knew it I was in a heap of the floor with a crying Yuuki. Wonderful.
Kaname was around the corner in a flash followed by the Chairman.
"Who's this?" he whispered as he crouched down to pick Yuuki up, his crimson brown eyes never leaving my silver and red ones. His hand brushed my leg and I jolted to my feet.
"I'm not the same as you!" I tried to make it sound like the truth, but my voice was too shaky.
Kaname nodded, and turned to the Chairman, Yuuki held close to his side as I prickled and glared at him. "She seems to know. Where did you say you found her again?"
"She was sitting in the ashes of that mansion. I adopted her," he was smiling at me in a prideful way, "Mea?"
I looked up sheepishly, but still with Kaname in the corner of my sight, "yes?"
He pulled Yuuki from the Kaname who was watching me like a hawk and stated, "Say hello to your new little sister! Yuuki!"
I looked at the sniffling cry baby then back up at the smiling father, "who do I say 'thank you' to?"
Kaname smirked and I flinched. "No one Ms. Mea. She will be your little sister, and you will be the one to protect her when I'm not around." He took a step closer and I took a step back, trying to hold back the growl in the back of my throat/
"I'm not listening to a noble like you! I'm not like you!" Yuuki must have still been scared because she had squirmed out of the Chairman's arms and was now huddled against Kaname who was staring at me with glinting eyes.
"You will protect her or I won't let you stay, Mea."
We glared daggers at one another till Yuuki's hiccups broke the silence.
"Why don't you go wash Yuuki up? She's really scared." Father stated.
I grabbed her hand and she yelped as I pulled her to the washroom, "Yes, father."
~T~T~T~T~T~T~T~T~T~T
I lifted up the warm rag to the sniffling brunette's face; she wouldn't look up at me, so I had to pull her face up so I could examine the mess. There was only one thing that concerned me; the blood smudge on the edge of her right cheek. I could smell it: LevelE.
"Yuuki, if you don't try to help me how am I supposed to help you?"
She sniffled and I sighed, a tick mark slowly forming on my left temple. What a joy, I thought as I wrung the dirty cloth in the sink, she makes me look like the bad guy and now she won't trust me. Is this sibling love?
As I argued on with myself I hadn't noticed that Yuuki had made her way to the edge of the counter. She was peaking up at me as if I was a foreign creature she had never seen before, brown eyes deep with questions. Then, she reached up and pulled lightly on my dress, "are you a princess?" it was hard to look into her eyes, and hide my sudden pulse of terror all at the same time.
I looked down at my dress, "no, I'm not a princess. Just a girl."
She giggled as if I had said something funny, "Mea reminds Yuuki of Kaname..." she was smiling up at me, "Yuuki loves Kaname."
I smiled, but in my mind I was screaming. What if she knew! How was she able to sense that we were alike! I'm not like that pureblood. I'm not. I never will be. Never. I would tell myself this till I started to believe it was true.

The day class was like wild cats all crammed against the moon dorms' gates, each one screaming for the nobles that lie just out of reach, and who was the one pushing them back? Who was the guardian yelling with all her might, trying to sort out the crazed girls? Obviously not me. It was Yuuki. I could hear her high pitched voice as she called the females back. I was on the fence line; just watching, not a smile in sight. It's not like I chose to be a guardian, father had just pounded it on our shoulders, so that he could take care of his stuff (only god knew what he did), and most of the time I took areal view so that no one climbed over (it's happened before); quite frankly I didn't understand why they all piled here any ways. The 'moon' clearly stood for 'night time', so why were they piled here at dawn? No idea. I yawned and watched the scene unfold again.
"No! Step back. Step back! Ouch!"
Yuuki was yelling with more fury than before, but with no luck. I let out a sigh and hopped down with a thud. Making my way through the girls I used my mind to lightly nudge each one so there was a road leading to Yuuki. I stopped and turned to face the crying girls, took a huff of air and screamed, "SHUT UP YOU CRAZED CATS!" Silence, "why the hell are you here anyways? It's not like they even want you here. You are all day class and if you think—"
I was cut off when I heard the sound of someone clearing their throat, spinning around I met, face first with a white uniformed chest. Kaname.
"Hello Ms. Mea. Yuuki." He actually smiles a little when he said her name. Bastard blood sucker.
Yuuki flushed; I growled, his voice was so sugar coated that it pissed me off, "don't act so innocent Kaname, I hate you no matter how sweet you talk." I added a smile just to touch things up some.
Yuuki gasped, "Mea!"
"WHAT!? This happens all the time! You're, honestly, not used to it yet?"
Kaname chucked and tousled her hair, "It's okay Yuuki, she only hates me because I'm more attractive than she is."
I scoffed and crossed my arms over my chest with frustration and he began to walk away before leaning down and whispering into my ear. Then, he was walking into the crowd of yelling girls once again with his blood sucking minions right behind him.
Yuuki edged closer, "what did he say?"
"Nothing, I couldn't hear him." I walked the opposite way.
"Where are you going? Our dorms are the other way!"
"I'll do a search 'round the perimeter, you know these bitchy teens and they're unspoken love. Don't wait up for me." And I ducked under the tree, Kaname's words ringing through my thoughts 'Don't forget who's superior to you,' over and over they ran until I fell and lay in the grass clearing, tears streaming down my cheeks.
It was dark; very dark. I lifted my hand to my face, but wasn't even able to see my fingers wriggle; I lowered my arm back down to my side when I heard the snap, a misplacement of a foot that gave away my stoker's position behind me. I didn't dare move.
"I know you're there!" I bluffed.
No answer. No movement.
The congested darkness was closing in on me faster, and I could feel my breath speeding. "Why are you here?"
Foot step closer: a deep, rumbling chuckle.
I spun around, "Tell me!"
A hand on my waist, breath on my neck; lips.
I squeaked when I felt the shadow's tongue, wet on my skin, moving up to my jaw; feeling its way to my ear before the chilling words escaped with a cool whisper, "do you not know remember my scent, Mea?"
I opened my mouth to speak, but instead a light finger pulled my bottom lip lower and a mouth was pressed, firm against mine. I gasped. His breath was warm and his lips felt soft as silk. His hand tugged at my shirt, working its way up my bare back. His kiss was light at first, but I was drunk; drunk to the point of pulling him closer, so close that the only thing separating us was the thin fabric of our clothes. My hands pulled at his shirt; he chucked, but to my surprise he stopped kissing me and whispered into my ear once more.
"Mea," his tone was filled with longing and a somewhat teasing smile, "if only your thoughts weren't so dark all the time."
I gasped, and the darkness was gone. I was staring up at the sky that was now filled with stars, and into a pair of clouded violet/silver eyes; inches away.
"Mea," Zero looked pissed and somewhat bashful (if that was possible), but I realized something and couldn't help but blush a little. He was kneeling down and his arm was under the smalls of my back as if he was just getting situated to pick me up and carry me like a princes, or something.
I let my expression harden, "what chya doin' there?"
He went on with it and lifted me without a hint of hardship. Like I was a pillow, "I, honestly don't think it's good to worry the Chairman and sleep in the woods till midnight. You know who comes out at this time," he placed me on my feet and I dusted off the dirt on my uniform.
"Gay people creep around at night time."
"I was doing a patrol and I just dozed off. It's not even night…it's, like, morningish, you know." I wiped the dried tears from my cheeks.
"Yuuki said so too."
"Yuuki knows about the gay creepers? Who the hell told her about them!?" I acted like I was shocked and began to pound my fist in my hand like I was tough, "I'll kill them because they soiled my beautiful sister's pure mind."
Zero was trying not to smile and a tick mark was making its way to the surface of his forehead. "You're stupid as hell."
I smiles, but that was before I remembered the dream again, I touched my lips. That felt so real, I thought, how was that just a dream?
As I asked questions to myself I hadn't noticed that Zero was watching me as I walked. His eyes were intense.
"Did anything happen?"
"Nothing that concerns you."
"Mea, I'm not stupid I know that when you run away you're stressed. What happened?" He was pissed (what a jolly surprise).
"Like I said 'Nothing you need to hear about." Just a really weird dream. I couldn't add the last part; too awkward, but I blushed anyways.
He sighed, "You're such a bitch."
"You're the one that came looking for me!" I was in his face; on my tip-toes, pointing at him in an accusing way. In other words; I snapped.
"I only did it because Yuuki told me to!" forehead to forehead now, "go burn in hell for all I care!"
"I could give a damn if you died in a hole, bastard!"
"Whore!"
I froze, "Whore?" What the heck is that supposed mean?
He turned around and started walking again, "I'm not stupid Mea. I'm really not."
I walked behind him with my head down, deep in thought. What the heck was that about? I haven't done anything with anyone, I thought about the dream, sure, it felt real, but that was just a dream. I wasn't really kissing anyone…was I?
Zero walked through the door of the Chairman's office first, and let it slam blank in my face. With a heave I burst through the doors and ran to my father's desk, shoving Zero out of the way.
"Daddy," alligator tears in my eyes, "Zero called me a mean name again!"
Zero was standing up now, "What? You're telling on me!? You bitch!"
"See," I pointed to Zero. "Daddy, he's being a mean brother!" I was diving over his desk and trying to climb into his lap, avoiding the Zero that was burning with rage when Kaname came into the office. We all froze.
His eyes got big when he looked at the scene, "did I come in at a wrong time?"
Zero straitened, I rolled of the desk with a thud, not bothering to stand up, and the Chairman just looked at Kaname as if nothing was wrong and that this was just a daily routine (it mostly was), "What is it?"
"I believe that you know."
"Ah, yes, yes. Mea, Zero go, find Yuuki, I think she's making something in the kitchen."
Zero walked off with a blank face, but I just stayed sprawled out on the floor.
"Mea," my father was looking at me with curiosity, "what are you doing?"
"Daddy I don't want to stand up. Kaname scares me! He always harasses me and tells me he's better than me, and I don't know what he means by that," I put on the crocodile tears again, and I could see his expression softening.
"Awwwwww! My oldest daughter is so cute!" He had pulled me up and was hugging me now. I could see Kaname over his shoulder so I stuck my tongue out while crossing my eyes just to piss of the brunette.
"Mea loves her papa!" I gave him a sloppy kiss on the cheek before walking out of the office doors, making sure that Kaname could see my glare as I walked past. I shut the doors just short of Kaname's next words.
"Mea really is just like a little kid, and her height doesn't help her persona at all."
I gasped cocky bastard! I can't help how tall I am! And made my way, fuming, to the kitchen where Yuuki and Zero were waiting.
I touched it up a bit, I'm working on the next chapter, but I'm not sure about it all quite yet…may make a few more changes to the whole story line, but other then that I hoped you all liked it. I'll try to update by next week or sometime around there. *depending on school and stuff* THANK YOOOOOU!
