Chapter 1
~12 years ago~
My life was perfect, I had everything a child of five years old could possibly need, parents who loved me dearly, two wonderful friends Marissa and Ashley and a white kitten, Icis. Yes everything was how it should be, that is until the day HE showed up. Ill never forget that day or those eyes. My father was a vampire hunter and was the best in the association and my mother was right there with him. My father was on an assignment that day and my mother was home with me in the kitchen making dinner while I was in my room practicing for my ballet recital. I heard the doorbell ring and my mother answer it. The next thing I knew was the sound of my mother screaming. I ran down the stairs and saw my mother lying in a pool of her own blood and a man with two different colored eyes hovering above her. "Darkana…..run my darling" my mother said with her last breath. "Mommy no…." I cried running down the stairs. The man with two different eyes smirked at me showing his fangs. I ran to my mother but the man grabbed me "I have special plans for you my dear. Daughter of the legendary hunter" He said. "DADDY HELP" I screamed making the man smirk even more. "Your to young right now, grow up and ill return to claim you as my bride. But until then ill leave you with a gift to remember me by". He said and sank his fangs into my neck. I screamed at the pain as he dropped me to the floor licking his lips of the remaining blood with that smirk still on his lips. "You blood is every bit as delicious as I was hopping". He said. "Darkana, Abigail" said the voice of my father. But I couldn't see him I was sinking deeper and deeper into an ocean of crimson red, an ocean of a new life stained with blood. The last sound I heard before I was completely consumed by this ocean of blood was my father furiously trying to keep me conscience and then all was darkened and clouded with the remains of the life I once had and the new life I was to now lead because of that man's so called gift, was the gift of a life stained with blood a new life as a vampire.
~NOW~
"DARKANA CROSS, Wake up and pay attention" said the history teacher. "Huh….oh, I fell asleep again I guess. I'm sorry." I replied "Sorry or not this is the third time this week Darkana, I have no choice but to give you detention" he said a little solemnly. I knew he didn't want to but I also knew he had to. I sighed and took the slip he gave me and went to my father's office. As I got to the door I paused, he was talking to someone. "Who is he talking to I wonder" As I listened closer I heard the voice I hated. "Headmaster, you can not honestly expect me to ignore the fact that she is becoming on of us" said the voice of Kaname Kuran, the night class president and vampire prince. "She is my daughter Kaname; you do not make decisions for her. I do not want to make things harder for her than they already are. And I never want to speak of this matter again, do I make myself clear" "Perfectly, but remember it was someone of my own line that put her in this position." Kaname replied walking out the door I tried to move back but I still bumped into him. He looked at me and I glared at him. He walked on. "Daddy" I said smiling as I went up to him and hugged him. He smiled back and returned the hug. "How long were you standing there my dear?" he asked. I glared at the direction Kaname went "Long enough, you not going to let him coheres you into putting me in that class are you?" I asked a little worried he would. "No Darkana I'm not" he replied and I smiled at him. "But why are you out of class" my father asked. "I got detention for falling asleep in class" I said rubbing the back of my head anxious. "Darkana that is not like you, are you alright your not getting sick are you" my father asked checking my temperature. "No I…." You what Darkana?" father asked "Well I have been having nightmares of that night." I replied looking down. "Darkana why didn't you tell me sooner, you know that nothing that man said will ever happen. I will not allow it" father replied pulling me into a hug as tears started forming. "I know, but what if he does come back to make good on his promise, I hate what I'm becoming daddy" I said fully crying. "Shhhh, it's alright Darkana, it's alright" he said soothingly.
