Chapter 9

Standing behind me and holding me by my shoulders was Kaien Cross. the Headmaster of Cross Academy from the Anime and Manga, Vampire Knight. I was very scared but somehow I couldn't get the scream to come out of my mouth. If Kaien Cross that was behind me then that must mean I was somehow in the Vampire Knight World, or dimension. Yet the question still stands to why was I here, and even more importantly, how did I get here?

Even though I wanted to I couldn't stop staring at the Headmaster, Kaien Cross. He must have noticed that I was scared, probably a look on my face, since he suddenly had a concerned frown on his face.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to help you." He said and I shivered when he spoke to me.

Even though his voice was the same as the Japanese actor that voices him he had spoken in English. The people in Vampire Knight could only speak in English in the manga. I knew this because the anime wasn't yet dubbed in English. The man sighed when the look on my face didn't change.

"Come on; let me take you back to your bed. You still need more rest, you know. You shouldn't have ever gotten up in the first place."

It sounded like he was scolding me as he gave me a gentle shove. I knew that as the sign to start walking so, even though I was still in slight shock, I made my way back to the bed. The whole way back to my be the man didn't take his hands off me for a moment. I know he was just doing it to help me keep my balance and to prevent me from falling but it didn't help much with my shock.

"There you go." He said in a happy toned voice as I got back on the bed. I just sat leg crossed on the bed and looked down at my lap.

"If you don't mind my asking, what is you name?" The headmaster asked me and, even if I wasn't looking, I could imagine him looking down at me with a smile. I had managed to calm down enough so that I was able to hide that fear I had left.

'This is way too good to be true. This has to be a dream. It just has to be.' I thought to myself as I looked down.

"Ashley." I answered him in whisper although I made it loud enough so he could hear it. Yet I'm sure he'd hear it anyways; vampire hunters need hearing, don't they?

"That's a lovely name." I heard him say and I moved my eyes to see him smiling softly at me. Kaien Cross's smile slowly turned into a frown.

"Ashley, do you remember what happened to you?" He asked in a strange, serious tone. I knew he had his serious moments but most of the time he was a over hyper idiot.

"What am I even doing here?" I asked, still in a quiet, soft voice. I didn't bother answer his question; he probably knows that I don't remember being who he is.

"Umm, well... You were found passed out near the road. Your body was badly cut up so you were brought here since we had no idea where else to take you." He said and I noticed the nervous look on his face. I knew that look too; it was the look you gave when you lie and don't know what else to say.

"But last I remember I was still in Canada. This is Japan, is it not?" I asked and looked him straight in the face this time. I could almost see the sweet drop go down his head as the Headmaster of Cross Academy seemed to get even more nervous than before.

"Umm, get some more rest and I will come check on you later on. Bye." He said before he quickly ran out of the room. I just rolled my eyes and sighed before I got under the blanket again.

My head was starting to spin again and I knew I needed more rest. So I just laid myself down and the minute I closed my eyes I was swept away in a dream.
