Chapter 2- A New Path Awaits

-Ayame's POV-

I wander around the hallways of our mansion trying to find the room my parents were occupying. I was supposed to leave today for Cross Academy, a school for vampires and humans. I didn't really agree with the thought of going to this new school, so I was in no rush to find my parents to say goodbye. I finally hear my mother's voice in one of the living rooms on the second floor.

'Maybe I can talk my way out of going' I thought to myself as I walk into the room. My parents were sitting on the couch across from my older brother Tatsuya. He looks up at me, dark brown waves hanging in front of his blue eyes. We both have the same unruly hair but he has our mother's beautiful eyes which I have always admired. My eyes are like our dad's, so dark they're almost black.

"Shouldn't you be packing your things Chi?" Tatsuya asks causing my parents to give me their full attention.

"Yeah you'll have to leave soon if you want to get there before it gets dark." My dad mentions looking at the clock on the wall.

"I don't think it's a good idea for me to go." I say taking a seat next to my brother.

"Why do you think that?" My mom asks me with a confused and concerned look.

"Because I don't know anyone and the night class at the school doesn't get graded so what's the point. I also don't want to leave my friends behind; I am the lead vocalist in our band."

"I'm pretty sure they won't miss you, their parents are sending them to Cross Academy too. We all thought it would be a good idea!" My mother declares happily.

"So all five of us are going?" I ask in disbelief.

"Yeah it was supposed to be a surprise. They should be over soon and you can all leave together. That's why you need to go back to your room and pack the rest of your things."

"Shit." I mumble and let out a long sigh as I get up to walk out of the room. I made my way back to my room and plop down face first into my bed. "I DON'T WANT TO GO!" I scream into one of my pillows. I hate being around vampires that aren't my family and close friends, but even they get on my nerves sometimes. I don't like what we are. We drink blood, hangout at night, and have creepy powers (well having powers isn't so bad). Also I've never really fit in with vampires other than my few friends. I enjoy being out in the day and don't mind the taste of regular food. At least at my old school I could act like a human and blend in. No one had to know of the monster that I truly was.

I look down at my suitcase and smile "They have a day class too, maybe I could be in that. Maybe the others would like to join that class with me instead?" I wonder out loud to myself. A knock on the door interrupts me "Come in." I call out in annoyance. A maid walks in and bows her head.

"Your friends are here Ms. Ayame. Are you done packing your bags?"

"Umm yeah, I'll be down in a minute."

"Would you like me to help with your bags?" Her voice and attitude makes me smile. This maid was always so polite and nice while the others would quietly complain about everything which really annoyed me.

"Yeah you can take the smaller bags. I'll take the big suitcase."

She nods, takes the bags, and leaves my room. I look around my room almost forgetting one of the most important things I need. I grab my black motorcycle helmet off the door handle, grab my suitcase and leave my bedroom.

"Jeez you kept us waiting long enough." I look up and see my friends standing around the end of the stairs.

My eyes first meet Kazuki who plays the rhythm guitar in our band. He has violet eyes and stark black hair. His younger brother Kazuya who plays the bass was standing next to him. He has green eyes, the same colored hair as his brother. Then there was Riku who plays the lead guitar. He has messy brown hair, blues eyes, and several piercing in both ears. Finally there's Natsumi, she the drummer in our band and is my closest friend. She has short dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes.

"Are you ready to go?" Natsumi asks with a smile on her face. I could tell she was excited.

"Yeah let me just say goodbye to my parents and Tatsuya."

"Could you hurry up we have to go." Riku loudly complains.

"It will only take a minute!"Right as I say this my parents come into the room. "What good timing."

"Well we could hear you in the other room." Tatsuya confesses.

"Goodbye sweetheart!" My mother pushes past Tatsuya and pulls me into a tight hug.

"Bye mom, dad, Tatsuya. I'll visit whenever I can." I say looking at all three of them.

"You come home if anything is wrong no matter what, ok?" Dad adds.

"I will." I reply with a sad smile. I look over at Tatsuya who is staring down at what's in my hand.

"So you're really going to ride your motorcycle there?"

"Of course, he's my precious baby."

"Wait so you're going to make me ride in the car with the three of them?" Natsumi asks motioning towards Kazuki, Riku, and Kazuya.

"Hey, what's so wrong with that?" Kazuya butts in.

"Well if you want. I have an extra helmet." I tell her and watch her face as she thinks it over.

"I think I want to ride in the car." She sighs.

"Alright but I'll bring the helmet just in case." I wink at her.

"Let's get going now if you guys want to get there before tonight." Riku says.

"All right. Bye you guy!" I yell one last time on my way out the door.

"Ok so we have all the suitcases, bags and instruments in the car now." Kazuki declares as he slams down the trunk.

"Great so now we can get going!" Natsumi shouts happily.

"I'll ride in front of you guys." I say hoping on my 2009 black Honda bike as Riku nods while getting into the driver's seat of the car. Finally when I think we're all ready I put my thumbs up for the ok and Riku beeps the car horn. I pull out of the driveway and speed down the street. Now we're starting on a new path, whatever new adventures and people I face on this path at least I'll have my friends with me.
