Chapter 10

I woke up screaming from my nightmare. I sat up with tears in my eyes. Remembering what happen before I fell asleep. I was turning into a vampire, but unlike then, I didn't feel the sharp, annoying pain. I felt like myself, but somewhat different. I got up from the bed, and went to look in the mirror on the wall.

Nothing looked different when I took the first glace, but I looked again, and saw that my eyes were a liquid topaz color, like Rosetta's eyes. I also notice that my skin was a lot more whiter than it was before. I made a smile, and saw fangs. I put my finger to one of them. They were sharp. Very sharp. Other than the things I notice in the mirror, nothing else seemed different.

I suddenly remembered my dream. I hadn't had that dream in about three years. During the time I last had that dream, I didn't recognize the person who bit me, but now, I do know who it is, Kaname. I know that it wouldn't come true, because Kaname promised me that he would never hurt me. Now, that I think it through, he could go back on his promise. No one could keep a promise forever. I started to feel dizzy. I headed downstairs, to get some air.

Once I got downstairs, I went to the front door, but as I past the living room, I saw Kaname sitting on the couch reading a book. My heart started to pound, remembering my nightmare. So, I sprinted out the front door without making a noise, but I know he would have heard me, because he too, was a vampire. As I sprinted out the front door, I felt like I was flying. I moved faster than I thought I would.

As I slowed my pace to a stop, I took a deep sigh. I stood in the front yard, thinking about what I should do about the dream. I was thinking of running away, but that would only make things worst. Besides, I am a newborn vampire. I still don't know how to control everything about being vampire. I went to the 'forest', is what I called it ever since I moved here because there was tons of trees and you could easily get lost. I walk into it, not ever sure where I was headed. I stopped about twenty feet in, and started to climb the tree in front of me. It was the same tree I had fallen off last year, and broke my arm. I climb all the way to the top, and sat on the branch. I tried to clear my head of all thoughts that was running through my head.

"Is everything all right, Yuki?" Someone behind me asked. I let out scream, and lost my balance. I almost fell, but a white hand caught mine.

"Kaname!?" I said. I was shocked to see him here. I didn't think that he would come here. He pulled me back up onto the branch I was sitting on. He did it without a struggle. "Thank you…" I said once I was back up.

"Your welcome. Are you alright?" he asked again.

"Yes… I'm alright.. Other than knowing that I'm a vampire now…." I started to trail off. I was getting lost in my own thoughts again. We sat there in silent, listening to the wind whisper through the trees. I couldn't stand the silence anymore.

"Kaname?" I finally said.

"Yes?" he answered.

"I know that you promised me that you'll never hurt me, but I have to ask. I had this dream that I didn't have for a while, and in it, you bit me……" I trailed off.

"Oh, Yuki. You know I would never do that. I love you too much. I promised you that I would never hurt you, and I intend to keep that promise. I never go back on my promises." he said.

I sat there looking into Kaname's rose-red eyes as he looked into my new golden color eyes. "I'm… I'm sorry…" I swung my legs and jumped off the branch. I landed about ten feet away from the tree, where I left Kaname.

I started to run. I ran into the house, and dashed up the two stair cases and went to my room. Once I was in, I locked the door. I grabbed everything I need, that I didn't take with me to Cross Academy, and threw it into a backpack. It wasn't much, only my emergency money under my bed, and a few of my favorite books. I was thinking about taking Twinkie with me, but she was still just a puppy and was just getting used to her environment here.

I grab my bag, and open my window. With out a second thought. I jumped out the window. I landed on the ground with out any scratch. I started to run, trying to remember the back to Cross Academy. I knew that running away was wrong, but I do recall Zero telling me that the Headmistress understands these kinds of things, I know she can help me in my state.

It didn't take me long to get to Cross Academy. I got there in 5 minutes flat. I made myself stop before I enter the hallways again. And that's when it hit me, I got that strange feeling again. The same feeling I felt when I first arrived here last week. I ignored it, but something in the back of my head tells me not to, but I ignored that as well. I headed inside to see the Headmistress.

As always, the Headmistress was in her library. I knocked quietly on the door.

"Come in." she said.

"Headmistress. I… um. I wanted to ask you for something. A favor. If you will." I said quietly.

"Yes?"

"Someone told me that you know about the vampire ways. Like how to control the instincts and all the other stuff. Do you think you can teach me?" I asked.

"Of course I can. What do you want to start with first?"

"I want to start with how to control my thirst for blood. I don't want to be like those other vampires, who suck the blood out of innocent humans. I want to be a good vampire." I replied.

"Okay, then. If you want to be like the good vampires, then here." She opened up a drawer and pulled out a small black container. She tossed it to me. "Your going to have to take those. Take them when you get a thirst for blood. You don't always have to take them with water. Are you feeling thirsty? You must since you're a newborn."

"No, my um.. Friend gave me blood tablets.. I think.. In water." I replied.

"Oh, well, good. Then that means your body can accept the blood tablets. Most vampires can't. That's how they end up at Level E. Unlike most vampires, I can tell you will not end up at Level E."

"Really?" I asked in excitement.

"Yes. Now. Tell me, what do you know about being a vampire. Like, what do you know already that can help you. Whatever you don't know, I'll teach you."

I told her all the things that Kaname taught me before I had changed, but I still had so much to learn. I felt a that strange feeling again, but only worst. I heard that little voice in the back of my head, but this time, it was louder. Much louder. It kept telling to go home, and never return to this place. Just like last time, I ignored it.

"Now, I'm sensing that you have powers. Do you know what they are, yet?" said the Headmistress.

"I do? I thought only certain vampires can have that…" She nodded her head as I finished my sentence. "But, if I do have powers, how do I find out what they are?"

"Well, they have to come to you, you can't go to it." she said.

"Huh??" I said in confusion.

"It means, that you have to wait for it to come to you. You can't go and look for it. When the time is right, they will show up."

"Oh… Is there anything else that I need to know?"

"No. I think we covered all the things you need to know." she said with a smile that send chills down my spine.

"Okay…. I'm still enrolled here, right?" I asked.

"Of course. Why wouldn't you be?" she laughed.

"Okay. Just making sure." I said. "I'll be going now. Thank you so much!" Without another word, I left.

Once I was in the garden. I stopped realizing something. No one was around, which is very odd, by now, it had to be dinner time, and there would be kids around here. It bothered me a bit, but I just shrugged my shoulders and continued to my dorm.

I locked my door as soon as I closed it behind me. Everything was the same as I left it. A pile of clothes on my floor. It was a mess so, I quickly put everything away in my suitcases. I laid back onto my bed and tried to relax. That's when I heard my phone ringing. I startle me a bit, but I got and answered it.

"Hello?" I said into the phone.

"Yuki! I'm so glad your okay." I didn't recognize the voice at first, but I realized it was Rosetta. "Where are you?" Her voice was frantic, but I can tell she was trying to clam herself down.

"I'm at school. Why? Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Well, no. I came home and Kaname was in the library. He was on the computer with a shock look on his face. I asked him what was wrong, but he didn't answer. Instead, he got up and left. I was trying to think what could be wrong until I looked at the computer screen. It was an email calling Kaname out on an assignment, but not just any kind of an assignment, it was an emergency one. Vampire hunters rarely ever see this. It only happens when a vampire, most likely a pureblood, and they start to kill innocent humans and turn them into vampires and teach them to kill humans for blood.

"The reason why I'm calling is because where they think the leader is, is at your school. Cross Academy." I almost dropped my phone.

"No wonder. I got this strange feeling on the first day I came here, and now that I'm getting my things, I got that same feeling but only it seemed like it was getting worst. Plus, as I was walking to my dorm, I didn't see any kids around where they usually are." I was starting to get scared.

"Yuki. Listen to me. You have to get out of there, now. I don't want anything happening to you, and I know Kaname will be heartbroken if anything happen to you. Please, get your stuff and come home." Rosetta was begging as she finished her sentence.

"Okay. Let me finish packing up my things and I'll head home." I promised.

"Good. I'll see you in a little bit. Be careful." she said.

"I will." And I hung up the phone.

I quickly threw anything else that was mine that wasn't packed up and tossed it into the suitcases. As I was about to head out the door, when I turned around and scan the room to see if I left anything. I didn't and started to run. I ran down the hallways, through corridors, and down the stairs. Once I was out of the building in the parking lot, I took a quick glance back, and I swore I saw Kaname standing on the roof of the main building. I didn't take a second look, and kept running, just like the wind. Or the wind carried me to home. Like a bird in the sky.

I arrived at the driveway of my home under 10 minutes. I looked up at the house and I thought I saw someone on the roof, looking at me, but I looked away then look back up to see if there was really someone there. But, there wasn't.

As I walked inside, Rosetta was waiting in the living room, watching TV or at least trying to. When she saw me, she sprang up from her seat and came running to me.

"Oh, its so good to see you. Your not hurt or anything, are you?" she asked.

"No, I'm fine, but I have to go back. Back to the school." I tried to get it out as fast as I could.

"Why? Your not going back there. Kaname will never forgive me."

"I know, but I have to. I have a feeling that I --" I paused as I started to stare into space. I wasn't sure what I was doing, but then, I saw something. Something that I could only see. I saw Kaname, he was fighting, and killing vampires. I figured it was the newborns that were created. Then I saw that there were too many that he couldn't kill them all, even with his powers.

The vision came to an end, and I came back to reality.

"What's wrong?" asked Rosetta with worry in her voice.

"I think I just saw the future. And I saw Kaname. There's too many of them." That's when I knew that he needed my help. "I'm sorry Rose, but Kaname needs my help. I have to go. I promise I'll be save." I didn't even let her reply to my comment. I was up the two stairs and in my room with my suitcases.

As I got into my room, I locked the door and toss my suit cases by my closet. I searched franticly through my drawers for something. But I couldn't find it, until I remember where I had put it. It was in the door in my closet. I called that room and the door, my secret door, where I had my personal things. And the thing I was looking for was in there.

I wanted to change into something easier to move in. Tight jeans and a sweater weren't exactly easy to move in. So I changed into this dress. It wasn't like any dress, it was a short black dress that criss-cross in the back. It was a plain black dress, but it was very easy to move in. Since I was going to be running, I was glad there were shorts underneath. I also slipped on my black, knee-length boots.

As soon as I was ready, I climbed out my window, and worked my way up to the top of the roof. Once I was up, I was face to face with a silhouette.
