-A-
Ichigo was in a deep and peaceful sleep, she had let all of her worries and thoughts go and managed to drift off.
She was dreaming of home, how her life would be with just her friends and no aliens attacking them twenty-four seven.
But then the dream took a turn and immediately turned in to a nightmare. She saw all of her friends killed by an alien she had never seen before, and she was left alone. The last mew.
In her dream she retuned home to find everyone she knew was gone. Dead. She was too late to help them and the aliens were beginning to take over.
-a-
Suddenly she awoke and sat bolt up right in bed. She was sweating and panting and tears sprung to her eyes as she realized that it had just been a nightmare. She was so glad.
It took her a few minutes to calm down and she decided to take a shower and get ready.
Because of her dream she had woken up restless and two hours before she needed to get up.
It was now four in the morning and there wasn't much she could do to occupy herself and keep her mind from straying back to her horrifying dream.
She decided to take her time getting ready before her friends would be awake and then she would have time to call them.
Ichigo made her bed first, then she went to take a nice long, relaxing, warm shower to help her calm down.
Her heart was still beating fast from her nightmare, but as she took her shower she managed to calm it down by convincing herself that everything was fine and that it was just a terrible dream.
Even though it worked, Ichigo still felt uneasy and resolved to get home as soon as she could.
-a-
After her shower Ichigo dried herself off and wrapped a towel around herself while she dried her hair. She then put it up in a French plait while it was still damp and left her bathroom to choose what clothes to wear today.
It was now five in the morning and still dark outside. Ichigo thought that she should wear something warm today, like jeans because it would still be cool outside.
But she decided that the fresh air might do her some good at distracting her thoughts from her friends so she chose another outfit.
She looked in the wardrobe at the many sets of clothes she had brought with her; she was prepared for over a month of staying in this town and had brought a lot of clothes with her.
She chose a black and white plaid skirt that reached to just above her knees; her favourite red, almost pink shirt which came down to just below her belly button, it was a v-neck style shirt and had short sleeves, and it was just one plain colour with a small black and white cat curled up in the bottom left hand corner; she also picked out her black velvet waist length jacket that had gold buttons down the front and had gold patterns threaded in to it as a border pattern, it also had long sleeves and it kept the top half of her body very warm because of the material it was made from.
She was hopeful that there may be some cute guys in this town, maybe ones from the academy on the hill, so she had only brought her best looking clothes with her.
Once she had finished picking out her outfit for the day she finished getting dried and got dressed. She then pulled on her long multicoloured socks that reached mid thigh and somehow managed to stay there and she put her cute black, flat summer style shoes on that had little Velcro straps across them with small, shiny red buttons on the ends of the straps. Then Ichigo walked to the full-length mirror and made sure she looked all right.
She added some black eyeliner and barely visible fruity lip-gloss; strawberry, her favourite, of course, and pulled a few strands of hair out of her plait to frame her face and then she was ready.
-a-
It had taken her a while to get ready and now it was six.
She looked around the room and then dashed for her mobile phone, which was pink of course, that you could see a mile away.
She quickly dialled the café to check on her friends and get an update of what had been going on there without her.
Ryou answered in a sleepy voice. "What's up Strawberry, you got me up at this time. Do you really hate me?" He asked her jokingly.
"Sorry Ryou, I just needed to call to see if everything is alright. I had a nightmare. I know its stupid, but I needed to know you were alright." Ichigo pleaded with him.
"It's alright baka-strawberry, everything is fine." He then updated her on everything that was going on with them and the aliens.
A minute later he yawned loudly and said, "Now I need to get ready to open the café in a few hours, and I am sure that you need to get back to looking after your ill family. So talk to you soon, okay Ichigo".
They said their goodbyes and Ichigo was satisfied with what Ryou had told her and she promised to call them later when the other mews were at the café.
Ichigo now had a clear mind and she was happy, everything was fine, nothing had happened to her loved ones and she should see them soon.
Ryou had told her that they were coming up to visit her next weekend because they all missed her so much.
Ryou had used his genius brain and somehow hacked in to the aliens computer system and found out that it was a holiday for the aliens next weekend, so they would be free of their troublesome antics for at least a couple of days.
With a smile on her face and a light heart she grabbed her bag with her phone and keys in it and headed out of her door and down the stairs, she waved at the nice young man at the counter who runs the hotel with his father and she stepped outside in to the cool air.
-a-
Now that Ichigo felt fine, she didn't feel the cold at all, but as she was walking down the street something was wrong, she had a feeling in the back of her mind that she was being followed, but when she subtly looked around, she couldn't see anyone.
She tried to ignore it and thinks about what she has to do today; firstly she has to check on her cousins and see how they are, then she needs to go pick up their medicine from the doctors and then go around the house making sure they were all alright and spending some time with each of them.
It seemed like they made her do a lot, but she was happy to help them and she got to spend time with them for once, also there was the benefit of that they generously paid her, even though she had refused at first, but they had insisted.
But as much as she tried to keep her mind of it, she still had that feeling that someone was there.
She felt like someone was watching her, and she just couldn't shake it. Ichigo quickened her pace slightly, she was just a couple of streets from her cousins house, she would be safe there, she just had to convince herself that she would be fine until she got there.
She knew she was being paranoid right now, so she tried her best to keep her mind of the feeling and on something more pleasant, like getting to see her friends this weekend.
She was in such deep thought about it that she failed to notice the person following her in the shadows of the night, just like she had feared.
-a-
Suddenly as she was walking past an alleyway, she was dragged backwards through the darkness.
Ichigo tried to scream for help, but there was a hand covering her mouth and when she tried to struggle with her captor, she found that they were very strong. Too strong for her to fight off.
Her first thought was that it must be Kish playing another trick on her again.
But this idea was quickly dispelled as the person turned her around to face them.
It was a man, the man who ran the hotel that she stayed in with his father to be exact.
But he was different; she took in his appearance and was very shocked by what she saw. He had blood red eyes and when he smiled widely at her, his prey, she saw what looked like fangs protruding from his open mouth.
She tried to scream, but she found she couldn't with his hand in the way.
Her cat senses told her that he was very dangerous and he wasn't normal.
'No duh', she thought to herself.
She could smell the difference of him; he smelled more like a predator, a very hungry, wild animal. Something that a cat would definitely try to avoid.
She then looked in to his evil glowing eyes again and she saw in them a look of great thirst and want, like an animal does when it had found its prey and is about to feast.
-a-
She didn't know what to do and her eyes went very wide when he suddenly pulled her to him and kissed her roughly on the mouth, slipping his tongue in to her mouth.
This hadn't been expected.
She was too shocked to even try to do anything to defend herself from this assault.
He drew back at last when she felt like she was about to faint from lack of air.
She saw him look at her with lust in his eyes, and now she was very scared of him. Not only did he seem to want to kill her, but also he obviously wanted to do more than that to her.
Her heart was beating so fast now, she felt like it would just give out on her at any moment.
Before she could even try to think of a way to escape, he distracted her. He took her head roughly in one hand and angled it so that she had to look at him.
"Ichigo, my name is Hayato, I have been watching you since the day you arrived here. I have waited so long for you, and now I cant wait any longer. I have to have you. And quite frankly my dear I don't give a damn if you feel the same way, because I will have you. Whether you like it or not, I will drain most of your wonderful smelling blood from your already beautiful body. Then I will take you to my master so she can turn you in to one of us, that way you can be with me forever." He finished explaining this to Ichigo and smirked at her as he saw the fear reflected in her eyes, which by now were brimming with tears.
He realised that he didn't have much time now, he could only savour her for a short while before the sun came up and he had to take her to his master as well.
-a-
He grabbed her roughly to him and pushed her up against the dark, cold alley wall.
She whimpered as he tilted her head up and to one side and began kissing and nipping at her neck.
She was going to be this monsters food and there was nothing she could do about it.
Then she felt him licking the spot on her neck that he seemed to favour and her body jerked against his as he roughly sunk his fangs in to her and began the process of sucking the blood from her.
He still had his hand over her mouth, which muffled her screams of the pain that tore through her when he bit in to her.
She couldn't get away from his tight hold on her.
She felt so helpless, and wished that it really had been Kish now, because she knew that he would never hurt her like this, if his love for her was real like he said, that is.
Hayato loved Ichigo's skin; it was so soft, which had made his fangs able to go in to her so much deeper. This made him able to taste her blood a lot better, he could taste that it was untainted, untouched by anyone else, no one had ever drank from her, before him that is. He relished in the taste of it and he was very happy that he had chosen this girl to be his forever.
She was so delicious, he didn't want to stop drinking her blood, but as he looked down at her beautiful face and noticed it turn extremely pale due to the lack of blood he knew he would have to stop soon.
After all, he didn't want to kill her; he just wanted a little taste for now.
'He could have plenty more later. When she was his he would have her whenever he craved her,' he greedily thought to himself.
Ichigo felt the life draining from her and knew that if she didn't do something soon then she would die.
She realised that he had taken his hand away from her mouth and was holding her tightly with both his arms now. She could hear him sucking and realised that he was too distracted to notice what she was doing.
She may not be able to scream anymore, but she pulled her pendant out of her jacket pocket and managed to whisper the words to activate it.
-a-
Hayato was very stunned as he was suddenly thrown backwards, away from Ichigo.
He looked around, but couldn't see anyone who could have interfered.
But when he looked back at Ichigo, he noticed a pink light glowing from her.
It was quite weak, but it was there.
Then he saw her jump up in to the air and do a summersault.
When she landed she looked very different.
He couldn't believe his eyes at first, this was that mew leader that he had seen on TV everywhere for the past few months.
His Ichigo was a mew mew.
He was too stunned to move at first, but then he picked himself up off the ground and shuffled closer to the girl who was now dressed in a cute, all pink outfit.
Despite her transformation, she still looked very unwell, due to the lack of blood in her body.
And her eyes were very hazy as if she was trying to focus on him, but couldn't.
The taste of her delicious blood was still in his mouth and he wanted more now, just a little bit more before his master turned her.
He was still confident that even though she was a mew he could still kidnap her and make her his. 'She can't struggle in this state,' he told himself.
But when he got closer to her, she came around.
-a-
Her cat senses took over, and her body felt like it was flying through the air as the cat in her took control of her weakened body and ran and leapt as fast as possible, away from the dangerous creature.
She was barely conscious and felt like she wasn't really there, so she left her cat side to take over the majority of her actions for a while.
She clutched her hand to her neck wound in an attempt to stop it bleeding so much.
She couldn't afford to loose much more blood right now.
As Ichigo was darting through the deserted streets of the town, back the way she came from, she dared to glance behind her and as her senses had told her, the creature that had attacked her was right behind her, only a few hundred metres away at the most.
As her body pushed onwards she wracked her brains about what this monster was, she found it suddenly as she remembered her cousins telling her about it a few days ago.
Her cousins had been talking about the mysterious monsters that supposedly roamed the town. They had insisted that they were real, but at the time she hadn't believed them.
Now though, she realised that they were very real.
She was being hunted by a mythical creature, how ironic.
'It's not just aliens anymore' she thought to herself, 'it's vampires too now.'
And just like the aliens the vampire was very real and very dangerous.
-A-
So, that's it for the second chapter.
I hope its aright.
