A/N: I've had an idea for this, and decided to start typing it on the computer, while waiting for my phone to be fixed so I can continue with Away. I guess it can be something you can read while waiting for Away ;3 Hope you'll all enjoy this one aswell though.

Prologue

Matt POV

I never asked for any of this. I could remember everything like it was yesterday.

I was seventeen at that time. The world was an open door, with my above-average intelligence and incredible technology skills I could've gotten anywhere. But I was just seventeen, still in school, and not even thinking about future. I was unmotivated, lazy and I guess chilled out. Yeah, I took life as it was, not bothered by what was yet to come.

That day was supposed to be just like every other, but my lack of common sense and friendliness got me into trouble.

You see, some people said that the world has changed. That God send those creatures on earth to bring some sort of judgement, but something went wrong. The scientists, on the other hand, said that those were simply defects of evolution. I believed they were always here, but now they are finally coming out, sick of having to hide underground. They looked just like everyone else. They were all among us, acting like humans, going to schools, jobs, having friends and foes. But they weren't humans. They were creatures that fed on us. They didn't need it to survive. It was a known fact. Some of them have been caught before and placed in the hands of the scientists, who did all sorts of experiments, that in case of a human would be deemed cruel. But they weren't humans. And they were to be avoided at all times, as much as possible. Anyone who was suspected of being one of them was taken away immediately. It was against the law to help them in any way. Not like anyone would. People were scared. It was an obvious reaction to something you don't understand. But I was different. I believed they could be on our side. Besides, no one has actually seen them feeding on humans. People have gone missing from time to time, but that could be explained with so many other things, like the constant mafia activity or other underground business. It usually happened in big cities, like the one I lived in.

It was particularly calm, until that one day when someone had discovered a body of a young woman, somewhere in the woods. Usually incidents like this one are ignored by the media, as it's a common thing in Los Angeles, but this case was all over the news. Everyone knew about this one. The odd thing was that the body was completly drenched. There was no blood left in it.

My mother had been especially touched by that incident. She gave me a week off school, to make sure I'll be safe (not like I cared anyway, like any typical teenager I hated that place) and told me to stay home. I was used to being home alone, as she worked and my father died when I was young. But it never bothered me as I could play my beloved games.

I guess I should've introduced myself. My name is Mail Jeevas. Or should I say, it was Mail Jeevas. Now I'm just Matt, but a lot has happened before I got my new name.

When I went back into school, everything was as usual. I went into my first class, sat beside my friends, got after school detention. It was a typical day for me. After school I went into the usual classroom, where detentions were held at and took my usual seat at the back. I've noticed there was an extra person in the room, sitting in front of me. I've seen him before, but never really acknowledged his existance. I took out my psp as soon as the teacher that was supposed to keep an eye on us left.

"What you playin'?", the guy in front of me turned around in his chair.

"A game", I replied, not interessed in having a conversation with him as I placed my goggles with orange lenses over my eyes. I loved them, although I've heard people say they weren't too stylish. Not like I cared about fashion or anything like that, after all, I also wore a black and red striped shirt, blue jeans and black boots. So fashionable.

"I can see that much", he said, irritated by the sound of his voice, "Why are you here?"

"You're not gonna shut up and leave me alone, are you?", I looked up at him, turning off my game. He had blond, shoulder-length hair and piercing blue eyes.

"No, so you might aswell be nice and talk to me. Why are you here?", he repeated his question.

"Hi I'm Mail, nice to meet you too", I put on a sweet smile and held my hand out to greet him.

"Mello. You're really fucking weird", the blond laughed shaking my hand, "Will you answer my question or will I have to beat you up?"

"Talking and playing games in class. You don't need to be so agressive, princess. What about you?"

"I broke someone's bones in a fight and you'll be next if you call me that again", Mello gave me a sweet smile, yet his eyes yelled murder as he softly tilted his head to the side.

It was weird, but that's how our friendship started. And soon all the trouble.
