A Blood Tablet a Day Keeps the Bloodlust Away

Chapter 11: A Failed Murder
I remember falling asleep that night. Yes, but when I woke, I was on fire...
Yuki's eyes opened, feeling her body still almost completely immobile in a way. She had been having such a beautiful dream, and then...almost as if telling her to wake up. Like at that very moment with a huge burning sensation in her breast.
Now she couldn't breath. it was getting harder to even focus. Her eyes began to glow, the burning sensation leaving as it pushed towards whatever had caused the problem. Her body lifted, seeing that there were four or five bodies against her wall.
One had crashed against the vanity, breaking the glass and causing it to fall on top of it. Another had hit where her supply of blood tablets were, and the pills now decorated the charcoal shape. One had by some miracle, managed to hit the wall and only the wall. The others had hit various other parts of the room.
At first Yuki said nothing, but got up and ran out of the room, rushing towards Kaname's room in blinding speed and knocking on it hard. When it opened, Kaname was surprised to see that Yuki was not only out of it, but completely covered in blood that was not her own. He pulled her into a hug, which seemed to make her fall right back to sleep.

"Maria...what can I possibly do?" Luvia sat near the list of people she had to make sure to send the invitations. She knew that eventually it would have had to be approached, the dreaded inheritance role.
"Sumire-sama is here."
"Send her in." She turned from the list, placing it to the side as she turned to face the woman who had entered. "What can I do for you so early? Our meeting wasn't until next week."
"Someone sent the eraser's to Cross academy."
"Are you serious? What could they possibly want there?"
"They attacked your niece." Luvia's eyes widened. "I need to figure out why they would attack her. Also...I think I know who did it. I'm not sure why though."
"Please take a seat."

"Kuran, calling me out when class isn't in session? I don't get it." Zero was leaning against the school building, looking towards Kaname with a glare. "It must be important if you have to come here yourself." His eyes narrowed.
"You know about the Sumire eraser forces, don't you?"
"Yes, well...only as much as was let out. All we know is that the Sumire's made the forces before even my family was born. They weren't used often and for important missions or so." His eyes narrowed even more after though. "Still...why do you bring them up?"
"Five vampires attacked Yuki this morning. I don't think she as fully awake at the time of the attack though. She burned them so they were unrecognizable...but they weren't normal forces. First of all, they got into the dorm without having to be stopped or given permission. Second, they attacked Yuki with enough sense to leave signs of who they were."
"Wait...they attacked Yuki?" Zero seemed to forget he was talking to Kaname. "How is that possible? She's done nothing that could possibly warrant an attack."
"They did attack her. We don't know why though. I hope it isn't something that will occur more than once."
"Wait Kuran, are you expecting me to keep making sure they don't enter?"
"Did I even have to ask? You will protect her because you still don't see a reason to hate her...do you?"

"You failed?!" Vord hit one of the eraser forces in front of him. "How could you fail at something so simple?!" They stayed silent. "Don't you realize what might happen?! She might get the monster! I will not allow her to inherit the legacy! That's why I killed off that branch before it could even get the chance!"
