CheckYesJuliet08: Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for reading my story. I hope you are all enjoying reading it as much as I am writing it. This one goes out to Stephyb14.
One more thing, reviewing a story and giving constructive criticism is great and all but there's criticism and then there is just downright bullying. Yes you may know the author personally but saying something like that person did could have sent my friend over the edge. You wouldn't want to live your life feeling guilty all because you were being an arse to someone you don't like and they took their lives because of it.
With that out of the way, I will continue.
Zero: She's done ranting now...
Yuuki: on...
Akatsuki: with...
Zero: the...
CheckYesJuliet08: STORY!
The entire school was absolutely buzzing with excitement for the party tonight. Yuuki especially, me well I was just there waiting for tonight to come. But silently, laughing occasionally when Zero would send me a help-me glare. I shrugged and ignored it, just more payback I thought. When 6 o'clock finally rolled around Yuuki was nearly hysterical with excitement. We were dressed and ready by like a quarter to seven which according to Yuuki is a record for her and Zero would just be so proud.
We exited the Sun Dorm with many of the other girls who were nearly as hysterical only because tonight was their first chance in a while to dance with the night class boys. I have to admit I was seething with jealousy when overheard a few of the girls saying how much they were looking forward to dancing with Kain, but I kept my cool. No one but Yuuki, Zero, Kain and I knew that I Kain and I were dating.
We all lined up outside the hall, well everyone but Yuuki, Zero and I as we were disciplinary committee members. We went in to suss out how the Night Class were behaving before we let the day class in. Everything went without a hitch though I never found Akatsuki to my disappointment.
"Alice" a deep, silky voice said from behind me.
I froze, my insides freezing and my heart beating wildly in my chest. I didn't turn around; I knew exactly who it was. I gulped
"Kuran" I nodded my head in acknowledgement then ran for it through a group of his fan girls.
I ran straight into one of the rooms that were placed around the dance hall. I locked the door behind me and sank to the floor, crying in relief and panic. It was no surprise that I jumped 50 miles out of my skin when a knock sounded on the door.
"Who... Who is it?" I asked in a shaky voice.
"Its Zero let me in" he says
I unlock the door for him, as soon as he is in I lock the door again, I turn around to face him, he takes one look at me and his eyes grow wide.
"What's wrong Alice?" he asked
"I need Akatsuki, please can you find him, please Zero" I beg
He places his hands on my shoulders, forces me to look into his eyes.
"What happened?" he asked sternly
"Nothing please I will explain as soon as you get Akatsuki" I say trying to stop the tears.
He sighs
"You're stubborn; alright I will go and find him. I'll be back" he says as he unlocks the door for himself.
I re-lock it when he is gone. Even though I know locking a door against a vampire, especially a pureblood vampire was completely useless. 20 minutes had passed since I had sent Zero on his little stealth mission, I began to grow impatient and worried. Worried for the fact that Kuran had caught Zero and had no taken to distracting him with Yuuki. Then there was another knock on the door, I froze the fear creeping back.
"Who-who is it?" I stutter
"Its Zero I found Kain" he said
I unlocked the door, they both entered and once again I locked it again. I turn to face the two boys in front of me.
"Alice quick question why Alice in Wonderland?" Zero asked
"Because my name is Alice and this place is my Wonderland duh I thought you would've figured that out Zero" I roll my eyes
"Why are you locked in this room freaking out?" Akatsuki asked
"Kuran" I say
I noticed Zero stiffen at the name, Akatsuki straight away asked
"What did he do this time Alice, I swear if he touched you I will-"
"No he hasn't well not yet, he just crept up on me when I was looking for you and he freaked me out so I ran off and hid in here" I explain
"What did I miss?" Zero asked clearly confused.
"never mind Zero I need you to go and tell Yuuki that Alice had to leave and that she's sorry but it was urgent" Akatsuki ordered.
Zero was about to argue back but the pleading look on my face made him stop.
"Alright fine but tomorrow Alice you explain everything ok?" he said as he took his leave.
I nod. When he was gone I turned to look at Akatsuki. He doesn't say anything he just pulls me into a comforting hug.
"Oh Alice I'm so sorry for taking so long" he whispered as I broke down in his arms, for the second time since we'd met.
"It's ok Akatsuki, really I was fine until then" I mumble.
"Come on lets go" he says leading me to the door.
I nod against his chest. But as he reached out to unlock it that same creepily silky, deep voice sounded from behind us.
"No I don't think so I'm not done here Kain" Kuran said.
I stand completely shocked and petrified. I heard Akatsuki growl.
"Kaname please you can't keep doing this to her" he nearly begged.
Kuran snickered "I'm sorry Kain but I can't do that, now come here like the good puppet you are"
It was like he had no choice, Akatsuki let go of me and walked over to the purebloods side.
"Now let's have some fun, alright Kain lets play with fire" Kuran said turning to Akatsuki and placing a hand on his shoulder.
And with that one touch fire erupted all over the room. I screamed praying that Zero or one of the other vampires would hear it over the music. The fire began to enclose around me, I started to swallow so much smoke. I felt the flames on my arms and neck.
"Akatsuki please stop" I begged sobbing loudly
I screamed again, louder praying over and over someone would hear it.
"Who's in there? Why is there smoke?" a voice said from outside.
Immediately the Kuran prince fled leaving Akatsuki and me in the room which was still on fire.
"Please whoever you are can you go get Zero Kiryu?" I shouted coughing loudly.
"Sure thing" the voice said
I turn back around to Akatsuki who was still standing there looking at me in a complete trance. I had to get to him I had to make him stop. I had no choice but to get even more burnt, I ran through the flames and run straight into Akatsuki.
"Akatsuki Kain if you can hear me please you have to stop this. Please" I begged grabbing the front of his clothes and tugging on them.
"Alice? Alice!" I heard Zero's voice shout from the other side of the door.
"Zero please you have to help me" I plead I could barely talk.
I began to black out, the last thing I remember was the loud crash as the door was barged open.
