Chapter 2 Recap:

"What are you doing here?" I jumped, scaring Lily as well, and turned to see Zero leaning in the barn's door.


Third

"Oh, h—hey Zero," I stuttered. I have to admit, he does look kind of scary. I started stroking Lily again to calm not only her, but me as well.

"You do know there is curfew, right?"

"I didn't know that..." I answered.

"Didn't the Headmaster explain?" Zero inquired.

"Nope," I said popping the 'p' "But he said he would explain tomorrow in some kind of meeting or something..."

"Why didn't he tell you if he knew you were a hunter?" I was about to respond, but noticed he was simply thinking out loud. So I just shrugged.

"What's the deal with there being two classes? I'm still confused by that Day Class/Night Class thing they told me at the Assosiation." I confessed sheepishly.

Zero's eyes narrowed, and a dark aura surrounded him. Had I said something wrong? I waited for him to explain.

"The difference between the Day Class and the Night Class," he started, but then his face took on a more annoyed look, "You know what? Never mind, the Headmaster will explain."

I nodded to hide my disappointment. What is it with people not telling me anything today... Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow. I've never been very patient, though.

"But what about the vampi—" I tried to tell him, but Zero had already left.

I let out a growl of frustration, and threw a messy punch at the barn's wall. My hand started bleeding. Well that's just wonderful.

I stomped back to my room, and climbed my way in. It took me a bit longer considering I was only using one hand. I dare those monsters to come and pursue the blood that now drips from my hand. It would be the perfect way to end this night. Note the sarcasm.

Once inside, I entered the bathroom and searched for a first aid kit or at least some bandages. It took me a while to find it, yet I managed to do so. I cleaned the fresh wound, and wrapped some cotton bandages around it. Hopefully, no one would inquire about it. Yeah right... As if that was possible with the Headmaster.

I sighed and climbed into bed with my clothes still on. The lights were off and the room was silent except for my almost inaudible breathing. My eyelids were growing heavy, but I didn't dare close them. The land of dreams was somewhere I didn't wish to visit.

I pounded the door till my hands bled. My delicate fists bore no scars from training nor were they calloused from work. The door towered over my small size, and that's when I noticed I was a child.

The smell was suffocating. I couldn't handle it. It was almost impossible to decide what reaction to show; need, disgust or worry. It was somehow familiar, and all too overwhelming. I continued to hit the locked door, demanding for it to be opened.

Then, my request was granted. It swung open, and I fell forward face first. Before I could pick myself up and sprint to the source of the peculiar smell, a voice that sent cold shivers down my back spoke.

"My, my what do we have here?" The sarcastic question made me try to look up. At first, the only thing I could focus on was the mismatched set of cold eyes. One crimson as my blood that now stained my nightgown and the other one, blue like the clear morning sky.

I tore my own eyes away, and tried to focus on the situation at hand. The dark brown hair fell over his dark cerise colored eye. He was covered in blood that didn't seem to be his own. A strange kind of smile grew on the beautiful but cruel face. It was an amused grin.

"Child, did Juri really think she could hide you forever?" He bent into one knee, and offered a hand to help me up. Not knowing better, I took it. My fear slowly vanished as the stranger's hand warmed mine.

"Now little bird lets go home." I nodded and followed the man with the strange, yet familiar eyes.

I woke up with a start. My heart pounded heavily in my chest, and the morning sun shone into the room. Bathing everything in its warm, golden light.

My eyes had a heavy feeling to them, and then I remembered that I had collapsed in bed right after entering through the window last night. I also left the window open causing a small, light breeze to come in, brushing my hair away from my face.

With a sigh I threw the blankets back and sat in the edge if the bed with my feet dangling. I padded my way to the bathroom on the smooth and cold wooden floor.

I stared at myself in the mirror. My hair was all right considering I had just woken up. It was long, straight, and a dark mahogany color. Yesterday's clothes were all rumpled from sleep.

I yawned and my right eye started to itch. I turned on the water and washed my hands. The bandage had fallen off during the night. I should rewrap another one soon.

After drying my hands, I reached with my left one to open the eye that was bothering me, and with the right one I took off the brown contact lens. Then, repeated the same process with the other one.

I dropped it in its case, and put some of the cleansing drops on it. The bandages were in the corner near the sink. I dabbed foundation on them to make them match my dark tan skin color, so they'll be less noticeable.

I warped it around the bruised part of my knuckles, and tried not to hiss in pain as it came upon the open part of the wound. Then, I returned my gaze to the mirror.

The same mismatched eyes from my dream stared back at me.
