A/N: So I am back, now with a brand new story and not even bothering to complete the other stories I have. But it's for a reason. I had been having a writer's block. So I can't guarantee that I won't be getting one while I write this story. However, if you are willing to sit through this with me, I'm thankful. Recently, I have been obsessed with Ymir x Krista (yes, only now) despite them already being one of my OTPs way back when SnK started airing as an anime.
I do hope for some reviews, some constructive ones. It will really help me in writing. You can even give some suggestions in which I might take them into consideration. Well, all that's said is just my usual ranting.
Other than that, enjoy the story!
Update: Edited some stuff and of course my lousy grammar. I apologise if there still mistakes present. The second chapter will take a while because I still have little idea as to where I am headed with this story.
Chapter 1
"Oh no! I won't make it in time!" I looked at my watch, running full speed down the hall way towards my class.
Judging by the emptiness of the hall way, classes had probably already started. And it was the first day of school.
How could I be so careless! I mentally scolded myself as I continued rushing down the hall way.
I was about 3 class distance away until I saw someone collapsed on the ground, seemingly unconscious by the unmoving body.
I stopped my tracks just right before the collapsed person and crouched down to confirm the condition of the person.
Looking closely, the person wasn't unconscious but was fully conscious either. Sweat could be seen drenching the person. It also seemed that the person was having trouble breathing.
With concern, i spoke up to offer help. "Erm, do you perhaps need me to carry to you the nursing room?"
Since there wasn't any response, I just took things into my own hands and taking the person in my arms. Slowly, I stood up and it was then that I had realised that this person was way taller than me. With my small build all I could manage was supporting them and partially dragging them to the nursing room.
-x-x-x-x-x-
Upon reaching the nursing room, I gently laid the person on the bed - she was now unconscious.
I caught my breath shortly after, settling in the chair beside the bed.
The nurse had been out for something and there wasn't anything I could possibly do to help now than let her rest in the bed. So I leaned back in my chair, resting and waiting, till the nurse returned and then I could finally head to class.
Oh great. I'm even later than ever... how do I go about explaining this...
I softly sighed to myself. My eyes now wandering off to the person in bed. It took me only a few seconds to realise that I had started to study her almost too intensely.
The person in bed was a brunette; with slightly freckled face, dishevelled hair. For some reason, my heart had began to race as I continued to study her, unable to tear my eyes off her beautiful face.
Beautiful? What was that? What am I thinking? I almost mentally slapped myself for such thoughts. I had only just met her and yet here I am, sitting on the bed beside her having trouble keeping my eyes to myself.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-
It was about an hour later when the brunette had started stirring in bed, her eyes slowly fluttering open. And of course the nurse hadn't returned.
With slight struggle, the brunette sat up, her hand reaching up to her face and her fingers rubbing her temple. She grimaced at the slight headache she felt.
She begin to glance around after recovering from the pain, grasping the situation in just moments.
"Did you bring me here?" The brunette turned to face the blonde whose existence was recognised almost immediately after she awoken.
Nodding, the blonde agreed. "Yea."
"Alone?"
"Yea."
The brunette raised an eyebrow at her answer, slightly amused.
"You sure are strong, despite being a midget." The blonde scan the blonde thoroughly, from head to toe, a smirk on her face.
"Wha-" the blonde gasped, too shocked to even finish her words.
How could this person be so rude to her when she was the one who had helped her? The ungrateful attitude she held made the blonde sigh. Why had she gotten herself into this mess, if she was only going to get such... rude comments? - Like being called a midget.
"Forget this. If you are fine now, I'm getting to class." The blonde stood from her chair, ready to leave this rude person alone. Man was she stupid to even think that this person was beautiful. Sure, she might be good looking, but her attitude sure wasn't "beautiful" at all.
"Right. Right." The brunette just waved, not caring whether the blonde would be leaving or not. At least until she suddenly reached out to the blonde, pulling hard but not hard enough to injure the small fragile girl, after a short gasp from some realisation.
"What are you doing?!"
The blonde turned and the next thing she knew, she was in the brunette's embrace, her face shoved close to her chest.
"Just shut up until I say so." The brunette commanded, in a soft but strong tone. It was intimidating enough to make the blonde shut her mouth.
Despite angry that the brunette had suddenly grabbed her, the blonde felt the arms that were embracing her tightly, comforting. She didn't understand why but it was like she was intoxicated by the scent that came off the brunette. The scent of the brunette made her feel safe and comforting. It was pleasant being in such strong arms. She flushed immensely and her heartbeat thundered in her chest.
Just what is this feeling?
Shortly after some footsteps couldn't be heard from outside the nursing room, the brunette had let go of the blonde. Her arms that were wrapped around loosen themselves and the warmth left her body. Warm? She was more than just warm. It was like she had a bad fever.
"That was close." The brunette sighed in relief.
"What was? And why did you do that?" The blonde couldn't help but ask. Her face still flushed from the previous intimate contact. She averted her gaze slightly, but her head faced the brunette directly. It was until seconds later she decided to focus on where her hands were curled up in fists on her lap.
The brunette eyed her once then chuckled upon realising her flush face. She was amused at how the blonde was great at giving different reactions. It was no doubt interesting to her and she found her those reactions adorable.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
The blonde was obviously upset from not receiving an answer, but only a chuckle.
Still ignoring the blonde, the brunette slid off the bed and stood up, towering over the blonde who was still seated at the edge of the bed. She started adjusting her tie, realising it was loosened, probably by the blonde when she was unconscious.
"Oh right." She had walked to the door, but stopped by it, turning back over her shoulders to the room. Her eyes now laid on blue orbs that stared back in her brown ones. "Maybe you ought to be careful if you want to survive in this school." The brunette gave a small grin before she disappeared out of the room.
Still sitting at the edge of the bed, the blonde had her eyes widened, wondering what the brunette had meant.
Then she looked up at the clock, her eyes wider than before. "Oh great, I'm even later than before and it's almost lunch..." she rolled her eyes and sighed. She got up from the bed, straightening her clothes that were mess slightly when the brunette had pulled her earlier into an embrace. Then she left for class, hoping that the teacher will pardon her if she actually explained herself.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-
School was finally over and everyone was rushing to go home. Krista, took no detours and returned to the dorms.
As she was walking towards the entrance, she felt the atmosphere was heavier and darker than early that day. Cautiously, she glanced around her surroundings until she was finally inside the dorms, hopefully safe from dangers.
Sighing, she recalled the events of the all so tiring day.
I knew explaining anything was useless but he didn't have to be so strict. It is just the first day! That lecture sure was long... and boring.
Keith was known to not let any tardiness be pardoned, even if it was just the first day of school. Or because it was the first day of school.
Krista was heading towards the stairs when she heard a thud. She glanced around and saw a figure near the corner of the stairs.
That back... it's her!
In a fast strides, she hurried to the figure. It was the brunette after all.
Seeing how the brunette was sweating profusely like before, she wrapped one arm around the brunette's shoulder, ready to head to her room.
I've no idea where her room is, so I guess my room will do for now. She totally needs a place to rest.
With all her strength she managed to reach her room, unlock it and gently she laid the brunette on the bed.
Hurriedly, she went to loosen the necktie the brunette had on.
For a minute, she observed the brunette. Just like before, the brunette was seemingly having breathing difficulties. Each breath heavy as if she was breathless. Her chest was rising up and down quickly.
She looks like she's in a lot of pain...
Looking at the brunette forehead and neck, she saw beats of sweat dripping. She was mostly likely drenched in sweat from head to toe.
I think I should get some wet cloth and wipe her sweat off. It should cool her down a little.
With that resolute Krista was about to take off to the bathroom but was stopped with a grip to her wrist. It wasn't very strong but still firm.
"Don't..."
Turning over her shoulders, Krista smiled at the brunette. "It's okay, I'm just going to get some water and cloth to cool you off." She reassured as she easily slipped her hand away from the grip.
She's hot. And it isn't just normal hot... she's burning hot. It's worse than before.
Krista came back minutes later with a basin of cool water and a wet cloth. Starting from the brunette's arms, she wiped the sweat away as gently as possible.
Just as she finished wiping the brunette's forehead, she washed the cloth in the basin.
I think I should wipe her back, though I don't want to be touching any other part of her unexposed body without her permission... I guess I can just reach under her shirt.
Nodding to herself, Krista turned to the bed then she sat on the edge of bed, ready to lift the brunette up with her body. With much struggle, she got the brunette to sit up and reached for the cloth on the table top by the bed.
It was moments until... she found herself pinned to the bed, hands on either side of her head. A strong and firm grip was felt at her wrists. She blinked a few times then she looked into the eyes above her. They were blood red.
Blood red? Wasn't it brown?
And just before she could react again, the brunette inched closer and closer. Until she bend her head into the crook of Krista's neck. It was a second later that she felt something wet on her neck. The wetness was spreading. Something rough was at her neck. Then, she realised. The brunette's hovering above her was licking her.
From the shock, she trembled under the brunette, unable to move. She shut her eyes tight and prepared for what was next.
But... what was to come next didn't.
Still trembling, Krista tried to open her eyes. And all she saw was brown eyes staring into her blue ones. Those eyes that truly belonged to the brunette. The original colour they had.
Her hands were released and the brunette got off Krista, then the bed. Facing the other door, the brunette seemed to be adjusting something. Probably her loosened tie.
When she was done, she took a glance to the side table. Turning her head over her shoulders to Krista she spoke up, "So you brought me here, huh?" There was no response so the brunette continued. "I think I warned you before. That you should be careful here."
When Krista was back to reality, the brunette had already left the room. The door closed behind her.
The room was pitch black by then. Moonlight was the only thing that shone in the room through the small window by the bed.
Krista shook her head once. Bringing her hand to her face, she covered her it.
What is going on?
-x-x-x-x-x-
The brunette had just descended the stairs, at its last step, then someone shouted.
"Oi, Ymir!"
"Eren! Wait!" Another voice followed.
It was Eren and Mikasa. They were heading towards Ymir at a high speed and they only stopped when they were right in front of her.
"What the hell are you thinking?!" Eren shouted as he grabbed Ymir by her wrist as she tried to escape." Why is there an unmarked human here!" He continued.
"Huh?" Ymir shot a glare at Eren.
"Eren, calm down." Mikasa brought her hands to Eren shoulders, urging him to relax.
"Mikasa, stay out of this!" Eren turned to Mikasa warning as shrugged his shoulders away from Mikasa.
"Say something." Eren demanded, his green eyes now staring into brown ones.
Ymir rolled her eyes, slipped her away easily from the grip and was about to walk off in the direction of her room. But this time... she was grabbed by her collar with two hands. The hold was powerful though not enough to left the tall girl above the ground.
"Oi! Don't you ignore me!" Eren gritted his teeth, growling. Sharp fangs could be seen exposed from his mouth.
"Eren!" Mikasa brought her hands to stop Eren but Eren didn't let go. Instead, he raised one fist, ready to strike a punch.
"Wait! Stop!"
Eren paused in his tracks and turned to the source of the voice. It was Krista. She rushed down the stairs and took her place beside Ymir.
"Please, wait." Krista took a deep breath. "She didn't bring me here. I'm a student from this school. I just enrolled this year."
Eren stared down at Krista, his hands still not letting go of Ymir.
Ymir was about to speak up when someone called out from a distance.
"Now, now." A figure came between Eren and Ymir, separating the two. "If you kids want to talk, let's head to the lounge."
"But Hanji-"
A handed was brought in front of Eren, silencing him. "No buts. You are disturbing the others here." Hanji shot a glare to Eren, causing him to waver.
"Fine."
-x-x-x-x-x-
The group made their way to the lounge and settled in the couches there. Mikasa and Eren were both settled on one couch. Krista and Ymir were on another, both at the corners of the couch. The four were facing each other from opposite sides. While Hanji sat on a single couch on the end further from the entrance.
"Okay. Now that we've settled down. Let's get started." Hanji turned to Eren. "So what's the problem?"
"I saw Ymir coming out from a room which smelt of human." Eren began, his eyes glaring at Ymir. "She's unmarked though."
Ymi, on the other hand, was sat with her arms across her chest, leaning back into the couch, eyes closed. She was ignoring the glare Eren was shooting her.
"Er, erm..." Krista spoke up, breaking the short silence. "I found Ymir near the stairs and she looked like she was in pain so I brought her to my room to rest." At this, Eren raised his brow.
"How can I know that you aren't lying and covering up for her? You might have been threatened for all I know."
"Y-Ymir isn't such a-" Krista was cut off.
"Eren. Krista isn't lying. I was the one who invited her to this school and I've sent some watch guards for her. She isn't lying about Ymir." Hanji explained, a smile forming at her lips as she turned to Krista. "I'm glad you're alright though. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you in the morning. I was busy."
"It's okay." Krista smiled back.
Turning back to the front, Hanji's expression returned serious. "This is my fault. Krista doesn't know the truth about this school because I hadn't had the time to explain things to her." She placed her elbows on her knees, leaning her chins on her hands. "I will explain it properly here though. Things can't continue. She's in danger at this rate." She shot a glance at Ymir then Eren and Mikasa.
A few seconds passed then Hanji cleared her throat, sensing it was okay for her to continue. "Krista." She turned to the blonde. "Did any strange happen to you today?"
Krista nodded.
"Like?" Hanji prompted.
Krista took a glance at Ymir before she started. "Just now when I brought Ymir to my room... er..." she fidgeted. "I was attending to her when suddenly I was pinned to the bed. And before I knew it, she was licking me." She paused. "Her eyes... were red when I was sure it was brown when I had first saw it."
This time, it was Hanji who shot a glance at Ymir. But Ymir was as uninterested as ever. Her eyes were still closed and her arms were still crossed over her chest as she leaned back in the chair. Nothing seemed to faze her.
"Ymir, is that true?"
"Yea."
She answered almost immediately. Hanji sighed.
"Well, then I guess that is all you experienced and thought was weird today, Krista?"
"Yes."
"Right." Hanji closed her eyes for a moment then took a deep breath. "So what I'm going to tell you now is the truth of this school. And I need you to listen to me, question me only when I'm done if you have any. Understand?" Krista nodded once again.
"Okay, so... this school isn't your average school. It's a school for the supernatural." Hanji paused. "Like us." She pointed to herself then eyed the others. "This world isn't just made up of animals, humans and trees. There's more to this world." She paused again. "I suppose you have heard of legends in the world you lived in?" Krista's eyes widened and Hanji acknowledge that as a yes. "Those legends, they exist. Like for example, Eren and Mikasa here," she pointed at them. "They are werewolves."
Krista's eyes widened even further, her jaw wide open.
"And Ymir," hanji pointed once again. "She's a vampire." Hanji stood up. "This school has way more races than what I've just introduced and Vampires out of them all, are the rarest. Only a few are left in this world." Hanji opened her arms as wide as she could to indicate what she had just said. "And in this school, the Vampires are of the highest ranking and authority. They rule all the races here." Hanji pointed at Ymir again. "Ymir is the one in charge of this dormitory." Hanji then sat back down. "Now, that is the basic explanation of this school. If you want to know more, you can ask me now or whenever you want. I'd be happy to explain it all to you."
"Man, there she goes again." Eren mumbled.
"You there!" But of course it never went unheard. Eren froze in his seat.
"I'm sorry!" Eren squeaked. He knew that if he hadn't apologise, Hanji was gonna torture him with her talks again. It wouldn't be just a few hours, she could go on for a whole day, even missing sleep to do so.
Hanji sighed once then smiled. "So, is there anything you want to ask?" She turned to Krista.
"Yes. What does it mean to be "unmarked"?" She glanced at Eren. Hanji noticed.
"I see. I was eventually about to get to that. You definitely need to know this." Hanji looked up at the clock. Seeing how it was already late, she sighed. "Eren, Mikasa, go back to your room. It's late. I will get this settled, no worries. "
As reluctant as he was, Eren obeyed and he left the lounge with Mikasa.
When the two were gone, Hanji started again. "Krista, as I have said. The vampires are of the highest authority here." She saw a nod. "Of course, they wouldn't always be the one working around to maintain order and it isn't possible. There would always be minor issues and there is this other problem of blood. Like those in the legends, vampires in this world needs a constant supply of blood especially if they were to use any of their powers." Another nod. "Servants are there to make sure that their masters receive enough blood. And those servants are what we call "marked ones". Unmarked humans are of course, those like you who don't have a master yet or then."
"Why is that important though?"
"For the unmarked to be marked?"
"Yes."
Hanji laughed. "I'm sure you aren't that naive? Or are you?" At this, Krista heard a sigh from Ymir who didn't show any reactions up till now. Her face flushed at realising she had asked a very dumb question.
"The unmarked will be targeted as long as he or she doesn't find a master to bond with. Meaning, your life is in danger." Hanji had clarified the answer for her. "Once you've become a servant, you serve under the Vampires and in return, they protect you from the dangers you face."
"So if I want to survive, here in school, I need to find a vampire to bond with?" Hanji nodded. "Then why did you invite me here knowing that?" Hanji laughed again.
"Well, you didn't seem like you had anywhere to go so I thought why not?" Ymir opened her eyes and glanced over at the blonde. "Besides, that idiot over there, " Hanji nodded at Ymir, "doesn't have any servants now. Why don't you bond with her?"
"No way." Ymir who was silent suddenly spoke up. "Not with this midget who seems to be weak, naive and a virgin at that." a smirked was on her face.
"Wha-" Krista was utterly shocked by her words when she finally decided to speak.
Why does she have to be so rude every time!
"Now, now." Hanji urged them to calm down with an up and down motion of her hands, palm facing down. "Ymir, you need a servant and I meant it. A chance is right here and I won't let you waste it." Hanji expression turned serious. "Drink her blood. Make her your servant." Hanji commanded.
"No way in hell. Not with her." Ymir rejected as she got ready to stand up until Krista shouted.
"Wait! Is there another way to do it? If she doesn't want to drink my blood?" Krista tried suggesting. Then a smirk crept up Ymir's face. Hanji eyes went wide open as she blinked a few times, dumbfounded.
"There is. But are you sure?"
"I-if it is something I c-can do?" She stuttered. She was unsure of what other options there was and was afraid to actually know of them. She had a bad feeling about it.
"Is that so? So are you willing to give your first to me?" The smirk on Ymir's face didn't seem to be disappearing any time soon. Krista shivered.
What have I gotten myself into?
"My first?" Krista raised her brow.
"There IS another way to make the bond. And that is to have sex with me."
The answer made Krista gasp loudly and she shot back to the corner of the couch. "Sorry?!" She was utterly shocked by the information.
Hanji sighed. "Yes. It's true."
"B-but!"
"Oh? If you aren't up for it then forget about becoming my servant." Ymir shrugged her shoulders.
Krista turned to Hanji, hinting for an explanation.
"Well, it's the only other way to do the bond. After all, nothing matches up drinking blood, to be able to give two beings the most pleasure other than making love to one another."
Taking a minute to let the information sink in, Krista sat tensed up in the couch. "I'm sorry. I can't do it." She turned to meet with brown eyes that disappeared in an instant after her reply.
"Is that so? Then I'm leaving."
Ymir stood up from her chair, and turned on her heels to facing the entrance.
But she had let her guard down being in the condition she was in and was pulled backwards.
Crash.
She had landed atop Krista.
"Ouch!" Krista grunted from the impact and was rubbing her head when suddenly her hands were pinned by a strong force.
Oh shit. Hanji thought to herself.
Just as Ymir was about to lean into the crook of Krista's neck and sink her fangs in, Hanji grabbed Ymir by her head, stopping her advances. Ymir paused in her actions and regained her consciousness seconds later.
Without turning back, Ymir stood swiftly from the couch and left the lounge in a rush.
"Hanji?" Krista spoke in a soft voice.
"What is it?"
"She's... really burning hot..." Krista explained. "It's not only her hands... her whole body. It felt like it was on fire. It was the same before."
"Yea."
"Why is she that hot? What's happening? Is she gonna be okay?" Krista shot questions at Hanji.
Hanji frowned for a second then a smile came on. "She will be okay. Will you help me?" Hanji ruffled Krista hair.
"Yes! Of course!"
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Ymir, who had rushed out the lounge, had ran full speed into her room - slamming the door close behind her. With her back against the door, she slid down to the floor. Her breathing not getting any lighter. She was hyperventilating. The burn in her chest getting stronger and stronger.
Shit. Damn it. Why did she just have to go and do that!
She cursed mentally.
Her fangs were now exposed fully, and her eyes were glowing bright red.
Because of her, I almost lost control twice. This isn't funny. Why the hell does she have to care about me! Leave me alone damn it.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
