Chapter I

My eyes snapped open to the brightness of reality.

I was laid out upon a soft, comfortable surface. It felt nice compared to the roughness of the ground that I once remembered from that night. So that wasn't the end for me. I didn't really die after all. My hair was messily spread beneath me, but it didn't bother me much. My hair is soft. Looking around myself, I could see that I was in a bed, and it wasn't my own. Did I even have my own bed?

Where was I anyway?

And . . . how did I get here?

Did those people, Yuki and Zero, bring me here?

Setting aside the numerous questions, I sat up from the bed and immediately felt a sore sensation at the right side of the base of my neck, and also at my lower back. I lifted a hand to the area and gently ran a finger across it, but what I felt wasn't skin. It felt like smooth cloth. I didn't bother to question what this strange article of cloth was doing on my neck, so I dropped my hand back to my lap. I looked down at my hands. Pure white locks of hair instantly fell to the side of my face, which were too long for me to see the ends of them, and created white curtains on the sides of my head. White hair.

That seems a bit strange.

I gazed down upon my hands and lifted them into my field of view. Long, skinny fingers, pale skin, and uncolored nails are what gloved my hands. If I can recall correctly, I'm somewhere close to sixteen years old. There's a block in my memory before that day that I was walking.

How long ago was that?

Days?

Weeks?

Months?

Perhaps longer than that?

Maybe that horrible night was just a nightmare. It sure felt like one. But, that pain in my body remained there, it just felt a little less intense than it did before.

Why did I feel pain?

And why did that 'vampire' attack me, if that night wasn't a dream after all?

Was it madness?

Bloodlust?

I brought a hand up to the cloth wrapped around my neck and tried to find an edge to it. I wanted to see what that 'vampire' had done to me.

"Oh, you're awake."

I flinched and looked up to the voice that had startled me.

It was a girl. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, judging from appearance. She had medium brown hair that fell down to a short length, which was just above her shoulders, and light brown eyes that nearly matched her hair color. She was wearing what looked like a uniform. It was entirely black, except for the red ribbon and the white shirt she appeared to be wearing underneath the black shirt. She was also wearing a black skirt that ended mid thigh.

This girl also had a familiar voice as well . . .

"Are you thirsty or anything? I can get you a drink if you'd like." She offered.

I shook my head to tell her no.

She definitely sounded familiar.

Maybe . . .

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Yuki Cross, by the way." The girl smiled at me.

I knew it.

She was that girl from that night.

If I recall correctly, she was with this other guy . . . Zero, was it?

". . . Yu . . . ki . . ." I repeated the syllables aloud.

"Yep. That's me. If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me your name?"

I'm not sure what my name is.

But the name Miki seemed to sound like my name.

". . . Mi . . . ki . . ." I said a bit quietly, but loud enough for her to hear me.

"Nice to meet you, Miki." She smiled at me again.

I lifted my hand back to the cloth around my neck and held my palm against it.

". . . what . . . happened . . ?" I said a bit slowly.

"Well, Miki, we found you hurt in an alleyway out in the city two nights ago. You lost some blood, but obviously not enough to kill you. We brought you back here to Cross Academy and got you bandaged up, and you've been sleeping ever since then." Yuki explained to me.

Cross Academy?

So that's why she's in a uniform. This is a school, isn't it?

"Also, the Headmaster requested to see you as soon as you are strong enough to walk. He just needs to speak with you for a bit."

". . . Sure . . ."

I uncovered my legs from the blanket I was sheathed in. One of my legs had a bit of bandages also wrapped around the area, and it didn't appear that big. Probably just a minor cut. I took a hold of the mattress beneath me and shifted my body towards the edge of the bed, trying not to hurt myself in the process, and then let myself connect with the floor. It felt cold to my feet. I gained my balance and stood just a tiny bit hunched over, due to the minor pain in my lower back.

I now took a glance down at what I was wearing.

My chest was covered in a pure white button up shirt, which was similar to Yuki's white shirt, but this one was too big on me. I was also wearing a pair of light gray sweatpants that were only a little bit baggy, but they seemed fit for my size. My feet were bare as well.

I also found the bottom of my hair too. My pure white hair seemed to end to just below my knees.

Why do I have really long hair?

"Alright, let's go. We shouldn't keep the Headmaster waiting." Yuki took one of my hands and gently pulled me behind her as we left the room and went to look for the Headmaster.

DONE.

I know this chapter is kinda short, but at least I got one up, eh?
