I miss her…

I can't stand to admit it, but I really do. After she left, everything changed. Everything became so much harder; I didn't have her kind words and sweet smile to lift my spirits - just the harsh reality of a cold and cruel world.

Keine allows me to stay at the academy, and I appreciate his kindness despite our different views on certain matters. But my life is hunting now rather than classes. To the untrained eye it would be simple enough: track the vampire and kill it, using my own vampiric abilities as an advantage. But it's not that simple; not when you have to look into those glowing red eyes and pull the trigger knowing that you're one of them and you were meant to suffer the same fate; knowing deep down that I might have suffered the same fate were it not for her. She saved me, even though I never would have asked her to.

Cross - no. Kuran Yuuki. My first friend, and now, it would seem my final enemy. Every night that day replays in my mind, that final promise we made. I'm still yet to hear anything about her, or Kaname for that matter. Sometimes I wonder what happened to them; has Yuuki's vampire instinct taken over her completely? Or is she still the sweet and optimistic girl I knew three years ago? How different would things have been had she chosen to stay here with me?

Why did she have to leave?

Why does it hurt so much?

Why?

Three years ago I watched her walk away and at that moment I could feel the icy claw of loneliness sinking in.

It's been three years since I watched the love of my life walk away. And it hasn't stopped hurting since.
