Whoah!!! OMG! I can't believe I'm actually publishing my first story even though I don't have even a week here! O.O

First of all: This contains KanaYuu, Yume, KanameXYuuki, YuukiXKaname or whatever the hell you want to call it (srsly how many names a pair can have?!) so if you don't like it then just press the cute bottom at the top of the window called "Back Buttom" okay?

Anyway, the main plot of this story is something I created with my BF Rossmary. However she passed away last year. She loved Vampire Knight (tho she didn't make to watch Guilty) and was also a great fan of the manga, just like me, and pro'lly the YanaYuu BIGGES fan, just like me xD So I'm mixing the story with VK ^-^

I'm publishing this in memory of Rossmary a.k.a. Romy and dedicated to her little cousin who was interested in this story. Hope you like it! Since there are personal matters behind this, I'm personally not expecting reviews, however good critics and comments are always welecome ^^

And special thanks to my AMAZING beta reader Crikeywhathappened Whom I obeyed. I can't believe such an AMAZING writer accepted being my beta reader *-*. She made a GREAT editing work, she made this story WAY better and easier to understand. It must've been though to deal with my horrible grammar and confusing plot (Well I speak spanish so it's natural... I guess) but I promise I'll try my best to make the things more clear and easier for you ^^ Wel... I'll try xD

Chapter 1: Condemned Memoir

Ultimatum:

"Who would love me enough to give up his precious life for my sake? For my soul? For my happiness?

Only if someone sacrifices his blood for my love and dies... only then will I be released from this eternal sleep and be able to live once more...

Live.

But if I wake up after such a sacrifice, after the one who loved me and cared for me dies…

That will be the moment I will cry because of my loneliness. When I can look at the world, after my sleep finally ends, I will cry. Even if my blood matures like wine… what will it all be for? It will not bring back the one who loves me the most…who freed me from my eternal dream…"

Kuran Yuuki

How much time has passed? How many years? How many lives have been lost in that time?

It doesn't matter to me anymore.

Since that night… I haven't being able to see anything.

I can't remember my bright childhood; I can't remember the colors, only the dark memories that fill my mind. I haven't opened my eyes since that time… A time I still don't want to remember. The only thing I see is the bond that connects me to this whole world, dreams, wishes, happiness, sadness, hatred, love… Love. Those feelings are what connect us to what we call life.

Life.

And they are also what make me able to travel into the dreams of people; making me able to know their feelings and desires. This is what lets me know that I amstill alive.

Alive.

I can share the feelings of other people; I can get into their dreams. They might not even realize I am there but I still feel the way they do, share in their pain…and their pleasure.

I know it all, even if I'm condemned to lie inside this coffin… for all the eternity, I know everything about them. And I will remain this way until one day someone hears my voice… and falls for me. Until someone loves me enough to give away his own life for mine. For me to be able to escape the chains that keep me trapped in an eternal slumber, never allowing me to wake up . "An eternity alone, watching the world through another's dreams or a life knowing I see the world myself because the one I love the most died for my happiness"

That is my curse's Ultimatum.

What happened that night…I don't even want to remember it. And yet, I can't forget it because it's the only clear memory I have.

Many years ago:

It had been a cloudy day and I was locked in the basement where my mother and father always kept me.

Father had gone to discuss some things with the Council, as usual.

Mother stayed with me, as usual.

Nobody knew about my existence besides my parents and the servants, at least that's what they told me.

I remember that mother and father always told me about an older brother but he didn't know about my existence since he didn't live with us. He lived with another pureblood family, the Shirabukis. My mother told me that many years ago, before I was born, my uncle, Rido, attacked her and my father in order to steal my brother's power and kill my father so he could marry my mother. She would have had no choice or he would have killed her too. My father, driven by an uncontrollable fury after hearing his brothers' actions, pulled out Rido's heart and burnt him. That night my father made sure Rido could never hurt us again.

However they decided that it was too dangerous to keep my brother in the Kuran manor with so many plotting against the Kuran family. They trusted his upbringing to the Shirabuki family, until my parents decided that he was old enough to understand the situation. My mother was already pregnant at the time so we would not have to wait long until we could meet and be married. It was a day I greatly anticipated.

But that day never came.

The Shirabuki family had an heiress, Sara Shirabuki. Although she had never met me she knew about my existence. She was a very proud woman. She had everything; I still don't understand why she did the things she did…

I met her on the day my parents hosted a party.As I had expected, she was incredibly beautiful, looking like a girl 18 years of age with amazing blonde hair each one like a fine thread of gold. Her gorgeous emerald eyes pierced the soul, and contrasted against the white of her skin, soft like cotton. Her beauty outshone even the goddess Venus herself. Yet she saw something in me that displeased her, to this day I don't understand what that was.

As twilight descended and the sun began to fade from the sky, the snow started to fall. It was then that I came across a dark silhouette, the silhouette of a perfect woman, and it was, without a doubt, the silhouette of Sara Shirabuki.

My parents came to greet her, but they sensed something uncomfortable in the air, a dangerous presence. Then they appeared, the followers of the Council and some Level E's, and it was obvious that they did not mean well. I was frozen and all I could hear was my mother's voice, a melodic voice filled with fear.

"Yuuki, run!" she screamed

And the scary scarlet eyes came closer.

I only remember a maid trying to take me back to the shelter but she turned to dust with the rest of them. Their final act was to try and save me from my fate. They failed.

"Yuuki!!!" My mother yelled. "Yuuki! Yuuki, run, run!!!"

I was scared, frozen in place. I saw her coming to stand in front of me.

"Sa…ra" I whispered

I could tell that she was using some kind of weird power in order to… kill me.

I closed my eyes…would this be my final night?

When I woke up I saw Sara unconscious in the floor, I was in my mother's arms.

"Yuuki, this is the last thing I can ever do for you" she whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks. I was astonished but another thought crossed my mind.

"Father? Where's father?! Mother?!" I cried hysterically

"He's not here anymore Yuuki" she sobbed

"Where is he mother?"

An expression crossed her face, a terrible one, one I'm still not able to describe. A pain I will never know.

"He… passed away, protecting us" I didn't know what to say. What do you say to something like that?

"Listen Yuuki, Sara's power has affected you, this power only needs to be used once per person because it can kill everyone, even a pureblood. I know a way to save you from this…if I don't you'll die and I won't let that happen but when I do, I'll go where your daddy is. You'll be sleeping inside this coffin until someone loves you enough sacrifices his life for you. "

"Mother? What are you saying? I won't be able to see you anymore? What will happen to me?" I pleaded, struggling against her hold. But she stayed strong.

"Yuuki, remember, love is stronger than any kind of curse, magic or obstacle. I know you will able to wake up again and live happily. Do it for me. Please be happy, Yuuki. Farewell…I love you." she whispered

"Mother, mother? MOTHER!!!" I screamed

The last thing I saw was blood, blood running down her face. Then the darkness consumed me, and I never woke up again.

Pain, time, emotions… Do they even matter anymore? Things like that have no meaning for someone who lay sleeping for all of eternity, unable to experience it themselves. I don't understand why I am alive. My mother sacrificed herself for me to live a life trapped inside my own mind. Completely alone. Would it have been better if I had died that fateful night?

My life…

Is pointless.

I'm sorry if I didn't make anything interesting in this chapter, but I had to explain things somewhere since the rest of the story is based on this.

Thanks Again to the best beta reader EVA: Kita Thank You again for your support! This would be a huge crap without your support! Thank You sooo much and thanks for cheering me up about this ❤
