A/N: DEAR DEDICATED READERS: I LOVE YOU FOR READING MY FANFICTION! (And as I always say- NOT LIKE THAT) So, we left off where I (the ever-so-smart Nobody) decided to turn off my cell phone and walk into the woods after a vampire tried to drink my blood. Are we all caught up? No? Well I've got something to say to yoooou. (Sticks out tongue and blows a raspberry) There. I think I've made my point. (SpongeBob reference. Yes I know. I have hit rock bottom.) This is not your average, everyday darkness. This is ADVANCED darkness. Hey, if I close my eyes it doesn't seem so dark. (Yes, I just referenced again. I feel like eating some pizza right now, though…) The Krusty Krab pizza is the pizza for you and me. The Krusty Kraaaaaaaaab PIZZA IS THE PIZZA FOR YOU AND meeeeeeee! I am pitiful.

911 Is For Losers

I put my phone in my tote bag and walked into the forest. It was gorgeous, and I wished that I could stay there all night to look at the stars. I wanted to so bad, but knew that my parents would kill me. Wait. They were off on a company trip this week. Which meant that they weren't home…

The responsible side of me screamed that I shouldn't be so irresponsible. This is the first time that I have been left alone for a long period of time. Ever. I was not going to let my parents down. I sighed and continued to walk into the wooded area. I swore that I could hear someone walking behind me, but every time I turned back, no one was there.

I just shrugged it off. It's a forest. What do you expect? I had been through these woods so many times that I had my own little personal place for it. There was a stump from a rotted tree that I liked to sit on and sketch the woods around me. My parents didn't know I went to the woods. If they asked about my pictures, I said it was a dream.

I don't know why I didn't tell them. I think it's about the peace, the time spent alone that made it worthwhile. I would sometimes come here on the weekends and spend all day here, studying everything around me. Nobody knew about my secret place. No one. Zero. Zilch. Nada. While sitting there, I could swear I heard someone again, but when I looked around no one was there. I must be going insane. I heard rustling behind me, and when I turned around, I screamed.

I knew that if I had a heart, it would be racing. But all felt was a deep, hollow emptiness. And stupidity. The thing that had been making the noise was a bunny rabbit. Even if it was Bunnicula, I still wouldn't be scared of the cute little fluffy creature. I sighed. Stupid vampire had my nerves on edge.

Yeah. A vampire like him would go chasing a girl like me. Classic Twilight story. Except, unlike Bella, I could kick major butt, had special powers, and wouldn't even dream of falling in love with Aidou. Oh, and I had no heart. No feelings to call love.

It was around sunset when I headed for home. Usually I didn't stay out late, but I made a small exception because my parents weren't home. It took a good hour just to get home. I didn't mind though. I liked walking outside during the night. It helps me think.

I walked up to my house and put the key in the door and was about to turn the key when someone grabbed my wrist and said, "Where do you think you're going?"

I turned around so fast that I knocked the stranger to the ground. But there was a problem. The key had fallen on the ground and I didn't have enough time to grab it and hurry inside the house. I ran toward the street, but the person grabbed my ankle, and I went sprawling for the cement. I caught myself on my hands and knees and seemed to be okay, but the wounds on my hands reopened from earlier that day.

"Mmm… you smell delicious. You made it even easier this time. I didn't even have to hurt you." I knew that voice. After a whole period of being bothered by this creep, he was now stalking me to my house. Greeat. Just what I needed.

I turned around to face none other than Aidou Hanabusa, who apparently found it very entertaining that he had gotten me into a situation like this. I now realized how much of a risk this guy could be. I figured he could drain my blood in less than a minute and leave no forensic evidence behind. I hurriedly reached for my cell phone to call 911, but remembered that it was turned off.

As if he was one step ahead of me, Aidou plucked the phone from my hands and tucked it into his back pocket. There was no way I was going to try to get it back now. I stood up beside him, backing away slowly. Then, without warning, I punched him in the stomach, trying to give myself some time.

I ran to the door, grabbed my key, shoved it in the lock, and quickly slipped inside, twisting the deadbolt behind me. I sighed in relief and turned around, bumping into something large and cold. I stumbled back against the door, hitting my head hard on the wood. Crap crap crap crap CRAP! The first mistake- taking your eyes off of the assailant.

"Stay away from me," I warned, looking uneasily up at Aidou while feeling for the deadbolt. If I can unlock it without him noticing, I'm home free. Well, not really. With his vampire speed… and strength… and fangs… he'd catch me within seconds. Why'd this guy have to be a vampire?

"And why should I do that?" Aidou asked, stepping closer to me. I stopped trying to unlock the door- which was an impossible feat- and pushed against his chest with all of my might, trying to make him back away. He didn't budge. If I wasn't so calm most of the time, I would have been hyperventilating.

Aidou grabbed my wrists in his hand, holding them in between us. He then grabbed the side of my neck in the other hand, tilting it to the right, leaving the left side of my neck exposed. He's going to bite me and drain all my blood and kill me and bury my corpse so no one will find my body and everyone is going to have a funeral for me without my body and he's going to laugh and remember how scared I was and how defenseless I am and he's going to kill other girls too, starting with my friends! was all that I was thinking.

No. I wasn't going to give him the pleasure of seeing me scared. He wants to kill me? I'm not going down without a fight. I instantaneously calmed down and gazed up at Aidou. He smirked when he looked into my eyes. Did he know that I was terrified? Or was he waiting for me to speak?

"Let go of me," I said trying to sound courageous. I wasn't sure how well it worked out, because Aidou just smiled like he wasn't about to kill me. He leaned in toward me and I stiffened just a bit, letting him know that he was too close for comfort. Like any space near him was comfortable.

"Give me a reason," he whispered in my ear. "Don't worry. There's no wrong answer." Any reason was plausible. You scare me. I don't want to die. I don't know you. Something along those lines. But I had a feeling that there was more to his "game" that he wasn't going to tell me.

"I don't want you to drink my blood." It was a fact. I could feel his breath on my neck, and I tried one more time to heave him off. Which didn't work. He slammed me back against the door, which caused me to hit my head again, leaving me dazed. I closed my eyes in pain.

Aidou licked a small place just beside my jugular, and I held my breath. I didn't want this. Why me? I started to relax more and more as time went by in silence. I waited for him to bite, but he did nothing. We stood there like that for a minute or so before he said something.

"Wrong." Without even pausing, Aidou sank his fangs into my neck and proceeded to drink my blood. I tried to fight him off, but couldn't. I was getting dizzier and more tired as the seconds ticked by. I stood there in shocked silence while Aidou satiated his thirst on my blood.

I got so weak that I was about to collapse on the floor when Aidou pulled away and held me up by the waist, his smile covered in my own blood. He licked his lips, catching the stray drop of blood trying to escape from the corner of his mouth.

"I was right. You taste excellent." And that was the last thing I remembered.

When I came to, I felt groggy and fragile. I looked over at my alarm clock and saw that it was 11:30 in the afternoon. I yawned and turned over in bed, about to fall asleep again when I realized something.

"OMYGOD I'M MISSING SCHOOL!" I leaped up from bed but collapsed back onto it as I was overcome by extreme lightheadedness. A small piece of paper on my nightstand caught my eye that I didn't remember there earlier. I picked it up, and the more I read, the angrier I became.

Xelxa,

It was such a breathtaking experience to drink your blood last night! I know you'll be distressed, but do not worry; I called the school, and they believe that you are sick with a stomach virus. I cannot wait to see you tomorrow. You will no doubt give me blood sooner or later. You cannot conceal yourself; I will forever find you.

3 Aidou H.

So, that monster in human form wants me. Or more specifically, my blood. Never. I contemplated on hiding from him, but taking into consideration what he said in his note… was I ever safe? Would I be running from him forever? No. I am going to find a way to get rid of him, even if it means killing myself. Or, even better, I could murder him.

He wouldn't ever be able to hassle anyone anymore. But I couldn't kill him. For one thing, I wasn't strong enough. He'd stop me before I even came close. That meant that I had to get someone else involved. But who?

Definitely not my friends. I would just be hurting them. But there was no one else I could rely on. Wait, what about that guy Zero? He seemed perfectly set to kill Aidou. WHAT AM I SAYING? I'm thinking about slaughtering someone! It's not right to take a living things life, even if it isn't worthy of it. Which I'm not saying that Aidou doesn't deserve life but…

I sighed and laid back down. There was no way that I could kill someone. I turned over on my side and closed my eyes, thinking about what I could do to change my situation…

"Wake up, Xelxa!"

"I've never seen her asleep before! She's so cute! Maybe we should come back later…"

"No, I don't feel like walking that far and then coming back. C'mon Xelxa, get up! Let's poke her."

I felt a warm finger prod my cheek. I stirred a bit, but hoped that it would go away. I wanted to sleep more. I did just get my blood drained by a psychotic vampire. The finger kept prodding my cheek until I got fed up and opened my eyes.

"What?" I asked sleepily and rubbed my eyes, looking up at the two intruders. Daxdy and Axis were standing over my bed, looking down at me. Daxdy was smirking at my obvious annoyance and Axis was smiling warmly at me.

"About time you woke up! You're still in your clothes from yesterday!" Daxdy said and pulled on my hand, forcing me from my bed. I had to stand to avoid falling down to the ground, and was overcome by the dizziness again. I wobbled a moment before sitting down on the bed and holding my head in my hands, trying to stop the room from whirling.

"Aww, are you okay?" Axis asked and sat down on the bed, putting her arm around my shoulders. I nodded, and when the room returned to normal, I put my head up.

"Y-yeah, I'm okay. Just a little stomach virus. I'll be back to normal by tomorrow. Don't worry about it." I felt dreadful about lying to my friends. Daxdy always said that she could tell when I was lying, but she appeared to have bought it. Now that I thought about it… I was starved. I could devour a whole woolly mammoth. Bones and all. As if reading my thoughts, Daxdy spoke up.

"You look really pale. Or- paler than usual. Have you eaten anything today?" I shook my head. I hadn't eaten since yesterday morning, and all I had eaten was a package of pop-tarts. Everybody thought that I was obsessed with them or something, but I had been eating pop-tarts since I was four or five. They were like a sort of breakfast ritual for me.

"I'll go make some ramen!" Axis volunteered, hopping up. "Besides, last time Daxdy made us ramen, she burned the noodles. How you do that and still have them inside water, I will never know..." She walked out, leaving me and Daxdy alone.

"What's this?" Daxdy asked, and started to pick up Aidou's note. If she ever found out about what he did… I swiftly took the paper from the nightstand where I had left it and put it in my pocket.

"Nothing." Daxdy stared bizarrely at me, but said nothing. I had a feeling that she wanted to ask me what it was, but since I was "sick", she most likely wasn't going to bother me about it right now. I thanked Aidou silently for making me ill.

But… it was his fault that I was in this situation at all! So really, I shouldn't be thanking him for anything! I seriously hated this guy.

Axis came upstairs and gave me my ramen, and we all sat around, talking. The ramen helped me feel better, and I could walk around a bit. At around 5:00, Daxdy and Axis got up to leave. I said goodbye and lay in my bed, waiting for them to leave so that I could shower.

I heard them walk to the front door, and then they stopped. I heard them converse for a second, and then they headed back to my room. I figured that one of them just forgot something, but from the looks on their faces, they were majorly mad. For a second, I thought that they had somehow found out, but how could they? There wasn't any way that they could have.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?" Daxdy screamed, her eyes turning red. I sat up in bed and looked at them, trying not to betray my secret- or even that I had one. Axis put her hand on Daxdy's shoulder, calming Daxdy down a bit.

"We have no proof. We need to check first." Daxdy nodded and sat down on the bed. Her eyes kept flickering from her normal gray to blood red.

"Show us your neck." I frowned, acting like I had no idea what they were talking about. They found out. But how, I didn't know. In a way, I was glad that I had left my hair down. They would have noticed the fang marks a long time ago if my hair had been up. I scooted away from Daxdy, but bumped into Axis, who had moved to sit on my left side.

"What are you guys talking about? Why do you want to see my neck?" I asked. Like I didn't already know.

"There's a drop of blood on the wall by your front door," Axis said accusingly. First, they were going to murder Aidou for biting me. And then they were going to murder me for not telling them in the first place. I was so busy trying to shield myself from Daxdy that I didn't notice Axis until after she quickly swept my hair back.

And saw the fang marks.

"He bit her! Daxdy, he-"

Daxdy looked furious. Oh no… Before anything could get bad, I jumped up and almost fell running down the stairs trying to reach the kitchen, where I grabbed a knife to defend myself from Daxdy. She rushed down after me, holding her flame-coated sword while Axis ran in behind her.

"HE DRANK YOUR BLOOD? If he hurt you, I swear…" I flinched at the words she threw at me. Axis looked like she was about to get pretty mad too, which petrified me. Because Axis never gets mad. I didn't want to tell them, but now I had to. No, I could lie. Without even thinking, I yelled back at her.

"I ASKED HIM TO DRINK MY BLOOD! He was going to yesterday at school but… he knew you guys were there, so he left. I didn't tell you because you wouldn't approve…" I looked down, feigning guilt. It wasn't really that hard. I was in drama. I didn't even know why I was protecting Aidou…

"You liar!" Daxdy screamed. "There is no way you'd let a guy like that drink your blood! So don't even try to feed us that crap!"

"How do you know?" I yelled back. "I'm telling you the truth, but if you don't believe me, then fine. But I actually did ask Aidou to drink my blood, and if you want, you can ask him." Daxdy narrowed her eyes at me, but her eyes turned back to normal and her sword and fire disappeared. Axis spoke up first.

"We don't believe you. But we will find out what's going on. This isn't good for you at all." She and Daxdy both turned around and stalked out of the house, not saying a word. I just lied to my friends about a guy that pretty much deserved to get killed. But I was sure that they wouldn't try anything anytime soon. They didn't have the full story and if they tried to hurt him, they could get in serious trouble for it. But why did I protect Aidou? Of all people, I protected Aidou.

I stood there in the kitchen for what seemed like forever until the doorbell rang. I walked over to the door, and when I opened it, I gasped. Marluxia was standing there, glaring down at me.

End Chapter 2

HI! So, Xelxa decided to lie about Aidou to her best friends. But why? She's certain she hates him, especially after he almost drained all of the blood from her body. So why did she protect him? And here's Marluxia, coming to knock on her door for some strange reason. Bunnicula, for those who don't know, is a book about a bunny rabbit that drains the juice out of fruits and vegetables, like a vampire. Yes, I made a pun there. I thought it was pretty funny… LAUGH AT THE PUN OR YOU DIE! So, yay! I won't be updating soon… I might, but it depends on my time. I LOVE AIDOU! MARLUXIA IS EPIC! I'm not big on country music, but I thought this song would go well with this chapter. And YES, it's talking about Aidou… ~~~You better take it from me, that boy is like a disease. You're running, you're trying, you're trying to hide, and you're wondering why you can't get free. He's like a curse, he's like a drug. You get addicted to his love. You wanna get out but he's holding you down 'cause you can't live without one more touch. He's a good time cowboy casanova, leaning up against the record machine. Looks like a cool drink of water, but he's candy-coated misery. He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes, and he only comes out at night. Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight; you better run for your life~~~ Cowboy Casanova by Carrie Underwood
