Chapter 10

"Do you think she knows?"

I heard a male voice asked and pull me out of my dreams. Even though the question was a soft whisper it was still loud enough to wake me up, which probably meant the voice was close by. Even though I was now awake I kept my eyes closed to pretend that I was still sleeping.

"I'm not sure. I think she might have some kind of idea. I have never had anyone look at me so scared before." Another male voice replied and I this time I recognized it to be Kaien Cross.

"Hmmm, but do you think she remembers the attack?" The first voice asked again. The voice sounded familiar and I knew it had to be a Vampire Knight character but I couldn't place who it was at the moment..

"Well, if she does remember, she lied to me." The Headmaster's voice came once again. I could hear disappointment in his voice and it bothered me.

Since I didn't want to hear the two men talk about me anymore I gave a groan to imply that I was now awake. I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in more complete darkness, or almost complete darkness. The lights in the room had been turned off so I guessed that it was now night time; or the lights had been turned off to help me sleep without light in my face.

"Oh, you're awake now. How do you feel, dear?" Headmaster Cross asked as he sat on the edge of my bed. I just shrugged as the man put a hand on my forehead as if to check my temperature

I truthfully didn't really know how I was feeling, besides still being a bit sleepy. So I couldn't give the man a proper answer as I began to rub the crust away from my eyes.

"Your name is Ashley, right?" The other person spoke up as Headmaster Cross started to unwrap my bandages. I guess he was doing to to see if I was healing or something.

I looked up at the person and, even though it was still dark, I made out who it was. Kaname Kuran; the Purblood vampire and Dorm President of the Moon Dorms and Night Class. Once I got through my slight shock and surprise, which I hope didn't show although to a vampire's eyes I'm guessing he must have noticed, I nodded.

"Your wounds are starting to get better. They are healing slowly but at least they aren't bleeding anymore." Headmaster Cross told me as he began to wrap me back up. I sat still to make his job a lot easier.

"Ashley, how can you remember before you woke up here?" Kaname asked in a soft, yet dry voice. It was like he was warning me not to lie to him.

"All I remember before I blacked out was that I was going to meet my aunt. On the way I met some man. That's all." I answered in a soft, quiet voice.

"Do you remember what this man looked like or what he did?" Kaname asked me and I shook my head, looking down and away from his gaze.

"It was too dark to make out his face but he did speak to me. He side 'Hello there, little girl'. That's all I can remember." I whispered again as I looked up to see Kaname nod like he understood. He then stood up from the other bed he had been sitting on.

"Headmaster, can I talk to you outside the room, please?" He asked the man sitting on my bed. The Headmaster finished wrapping me back up and also stood up, nodding.

The two men left the infirmary without a word to talk about things I was guessing that Kaname didn't want me to hear. I sighed, knowing that he was going to talk about me, so I focused on the door to try to hear what they were saying. I didn't want to get up and go listen by the door because I didn't want to risk being caught. To my surprise, as I didn't know it would work, I could hear what they were talking about.

"Headmaster, I think it would be smart to keep her here for a while. She seems to know more than she is letting on." I heard Kaname say from the other side of the door.

"Yes, so do I, Kaname, but it's kind of cruel to just keep her here. Her family and her aunt, whom she said she was meeting, must be worried sick about her." Headmaster Cross put in. I frowned as they continued to talk, but didn't listen in.

'I don't think the Catchers would give a single care in the world for me. Although I know that my aunt will be worried that I wasn't there to meet her.' I thought to myself as I went back to listening to the man and vampire talk.

"Very well, Kaname. We will keep her here until she gets better and to see if she does know more than she has already told us. Besides, you're right about the other thing." Came the Headmaster's voice after a sigh. I had stopped listening and frowned in confusion.

'What other thing? What did I miss them saying?' I thought to myself. Also, I did know more about what was going on and where I was, I just didn't want to say anything since I was scared about what would happened next. I was also scared of what they would try to do to me if they found out.

I was pretty smart so It didn't take me long to figure out that it was that man that had attacked me. He must have been a vampire, I mean, the gauze around my neck and shoulder, where the nape of my neck was, was kind of a dead give way. Yet, how did a vampire get to my dimension? Vampires were only really in books and movies were I live, weren't they? I just sighed and decided not to ask myself too many question since it would just confuse me even more than it already was.

Suddenly the door opened again and Headmaster Cross walked back in, without Kaname. He must have gone back to class or the Moon Dorms; depending on what day it was. Kaien Cross had the same smile on his face I've seen him give a few times in the anime show and in some manga. It was a soft, friendly smile instead of the childish, over hyper smile he almost always gives.

"If you are hungry I can go get you something. You may have to stay here for a little longer than I thought." He said to me with a warm smile and a gentle voice.

"No thank you, I'm not hungry." I refused politely and shook my head. Although, my stomach seemed to think otherwise and growled loudly in protest to my words. I just blushed a little bit as the Headmaster laughed.

"I think your stomach is saying otherwise. I'll be right back in a moment." He said, walking towards the door. "Would you like me to turn the lights back on?" He added once he was at the door.

"No thanks, I'm fine." I said, my voice a little stronger than a whisper now. Headmaster Cross gave me another smile and then left me alone in the room. I just laid back down on my bed, hands behind my head and with a leg crossed over the other, and waited for Kaien Cross to get back.
