As I rubbed my eyes, I realise what day it was today. The memories flooded my mind without my permission. My hand instinctively moved to the side of my neck.
Flashback~~
I had gone off while everyone wasn't looking. Mother had told us to get ready to move but I couldn't leave my pet turtle. She lived in a small pond behind the house. As I stroked the small turtle's head, I felt happy. But I suddenly smelt blood. My eyes widened in fright.
I quickly ran in the direction of the blood, back to the house, only to see my parents parents that were so kind and willing to take me in andjoin their family. I tried putting my hands over my ears as the wind seemed to tease me, repeating one single word, 'Suffering.' But my hands diobeyed. While I was paralysed with shock, a woman… no a vampire stood behind me. I gasped as she pulled down the collar of my jacket and positioned her fangs beside my neck. I had just realised that Zero was on the floor, bleeding from his neck. 'No! Leave her alone!' Suddenly, her fangs dug deep into my skin. I felt my blood being sucked out as she drank. It was a strange sensation but her fangs were inside my body.I prayed that she would let me go. Then, she pulled out and dropped me. I fell to the ground, blood gushing out of the wound in my neck. My eyes showed anger, confusion and pain. My breathing became laboured.
She kneeled beside me and whispered, 'It's painful,isn't it? Are you scared? Your parents hunted down every one of my beloved brethren. This is my revenge.' She then stood up, bringing a hankerchief to her lips and said, 'Since members of the Kiryuu family are infamous vampire hunterers, this is my privilege as a pureblood.'
My head hurt after the memories began to tune down. It was strange that she would prey on me, although I was a Kiryuu by name but not by blood. I quickly got dressed and put Venatrix on my leg. Venatrix was the sister weapon to the Artemis. I preferred my katana, but it was harder to carry around. It hung in my wardrobe. I decided I would bring my tablets and a small bottle of water instead of drinking it all in the morning. It was just too uncomfortable. I put on my gloves and headed off to class.

I quickly finished my Supplementary Class work and headed out to my Guardian Duties. I was always the first to leave, but I noticed that Zero was paler today. I headed out to the Moon Dormitaory gate. Yuki joined me soon after but Zero didn't come at all. Where is he? Is he okay? Today would mark the fourth year… and I was worried. The crossover was done after scaring all the Day Class students with a baseball bat I had found. But as the Night Class walked out, I noticed that Kaname-senpai and Ruka-senpai weren't among them.
After 2 minutes of discussion, I set out for my rounds around the school grounds. Yuki chose to go around the school building. I walked around and found nothing suspicious. I sat down at the fountain, my head in my hands. The signs are clear. Zero is definitely going to transform soon. But when? I sighed. It was hard trying to keep Zero safe as well as the people around him. Then I realised, it could happen, even now.
I ran around the school looking for him. Then the smell of blood tinted the air. The school building! I ran towards it. I saw that Zero had put his fangs into Yuki. There was no time to hesitate. I pulled up his head by his hair and forced him to release Yuki. I pushed her away and I positioned myself so he could have my blood instead of Yuki. I cringed as I felt the fangs sink deep into my skin. 'Stupid! Why didn't you call out for me, Zero!'
I looked back to Yuki. Her hand held the wound on her neck as the blood trailed down her arm. She looked so fragile and fear was obvious in her eyes. But slowly that changed. The smell of blood…not only my own but Yuki's aroused my thirst. My eyes turned a blood red as I fumbled in my pockets for my blood tablets. 'Yuki. Get away from here. I don't want to hurt you. Go find Kaname. You don't have to stay to watch this.' But she sat there,mesmerised, watching as Zero drank my blood.
Finally he pulled out. I dropped to the floor, landing awkwardly. My hands found the packet of blood tablets and pulled them out. I quickly put them in my mouth dry. I didn't want to strike someone and hurt them. I felt the fangmarks on my neck were healing. I could hear Zero keep repeating, 'I'm sorry.'
Then we heard someone walking up the stairs. We all looked there to see Kaname. I knew what he saw. Yuki and me having blood covering our necks and Zero with blood by his mouth. 'So you've fallen to the bloodlust of beasts. Zero Kiryu' he said as he placed himself in front of Yuki protectively.
I stood up beside Zero. The last few tablets had given me enough strength to stand. But still, I had to lean on Zero. I could feel my knees shaking, begging me to give them a rest.
But something Kaname said made Yuki move in front of Zero, her arms spread out. She said, 'Don't Kaname!' But then, her strength failed her. She fainted into Zero's arms. I looked up to Zero and saw that he was shocked. 'Yuki.' He whispered her name so softly. Kaname picked Yuki up and said to Zero, 'Your thirst must have beeninsatiabble. To have drained her and Tsuki to the point where they can't even stand.' Kaname stared at Zero and said, 'Their blood…was it that delicious?'
I didn't have enough blood tablets, as I felt my vision blurring and felt light-headed. The last thing I knew that I was falling… and then I was caught …
By darkness.
