Helen's POV
I felt myself drifting off to sleep as I sat in my room with my sketch book in my hands. Honestly, I never fell asleep while drawing! I took it seriously you know (here's a fun fact to know about the character, and my best friend Helen. She loves to draw, and she's pretty damn good at it to XD she also likes to write, and I believe she's also pretty damn good at it .), but ever since Victoria and me stopped sharing a room, i found my restful night's turned into restless night's. i had grown attached to her as a roommate. I found it funny when she talked in her sleep, and I didn't feel so alone? But now that she was rooming with Zero. I found it hard to sleep. It was like, a huge chunk of the room had been taken away, and it felt empty. I knew i'd get over it, but to be honest, I missed her snoring? There was a knock on the door, and I looked up
" who is it?"
I called" it's me!" Victoria said happily from behind the door. I sighed
"coming you big weirdo." I called back.
I got up from the bed I was in, putting down my drawing pad, and shuffling over to the door. I opened it, and the first people I saw was Victoria and Zero. He leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed. You know, I know this sounds terrible. But Victoria's boyfriend was hot. But she knew I knew that already, so it was all good.
" yeah?" I said calmly as I eye'd my long time friend.
She smirked" do you remember Destinee?"
she asked calmly. I nodded" yerp." I said as I dragged the unnecessary R a bit.
She smiled and stepped to the side, dragging Zero along. The first thing I saw was a girl about my age, maybe younger? She had black hair, and brown eyes. She wasn't tall, but wasn't short either? She was at least an inch shorter then Victoria. And trust me, that was good, because Victoria was really, tall. She was about Yuki's weight, and she was very pretty. I found myself smiling brightly.
" Destinee!" I said happily an hugged her. She laughed and hugged me back" Helen!"
she cheered back. All the while, Victoria had a huge grin on her face, and Zero was... smirking? Never thought i'd see the day when the infamous Zero Kiryu would smirk at something like this?
I shook the thought off and smiled at Destinee.
" I can't believe your here!" I said happily. She giggled" I can't either! I had to practically beg my parents to let me go here."
she said with a dramatic sigh. I chuckled and looked at Victoria, who was still smiling childishly. That's one of the weird quirks with Victoria. She always smiled, and when she did, it was either creepy, childish, or excited. It was usually only creepy when she was hyper, or she was forcing on a fake smile when all she really wanted to do was frown, cuss you out, and flip you off. Which was another thing I loved about Victoria. She was to sweet to actually do anything like that, unless you really pissed her off. Then you might be in trouble. I only say "might" because she wasn't the strongest person in the world. But if she had a gun, it would be a different story.
" Hello, Earth to Helen, you there?" Victoria Sang as she waved a hand in front of my face. I stared at it for a couple pf seconds, when I noticed marks on her wrist? Bite marks... I instantly knew what they were, and I frowned. I reached out and took her hand, flipping it over so I could see the to small teeth marks. Victoria gasped and tried to take her hand back, while Zero stiffened and looked down guiltily. Destinee looked at Victoria's wrist, and let her eye brows draw together.
" what the?" she muttered under my breath. I knew I shouldn't have been so angry. It wasn't Zero's fault he was a vampire. But I was still very, very pissed off.
" Zero." I practically growled. But Victoria stopped me.
" it wasn't his idea, I told him to." she said quickly.
That made sense. Victoria was giving like that. And painfully stupid like that. She wasn't stupid though, but in these kind of situation's, she thought with her heart, and not her brain. I sighed and let go of her hand.
" I have to go get some coffee." I said calmly as I walked down the hall.
I couldn't blame her for what she did. Because I probably would have done the same. But to risk her life like that just to quench Zero's thirst... maybe it was true? Maybe it wasn't just a fangirl crush anymore? Maybe... maybe she actually did love him? Nobody knew this, but over the course of a couple of weeks, o had ran into Hanabusa. We had started talking, and getting to know each other. We were pretty good friends at the moment. But it was kinda hard to look at him, because I always found myself blushing, and looking at his painfully attractive body. Damn him and his painfully attractive body! My thought's were shattered when the voice of the boy I was just thinking about called my name. I looked behind me and stared at Hanabusa with wide eye's. It was the middle of the friggin day! What is he doing out!
He smiled childishly and waved furiously" Helen!" he called as he ran over to me. The day class girls glared at me. I swear, if looks could kill, i'd be dead.
"Ha-hana-hanabusa? What are you doing out in the middle of the day?" I whispered to him furiously. He sighed and pouted" your not happy to see me." he muttered with his adorable puppy dog eye's. Damn him and his adorable puppy dog eye's!
I sighed" i'm happy to see you, it's just you could get in trouble if your caught out here."
I said calmly. He smirked" eh, me and Takuma are chasing after Maria." he said with a shrug. My eye's widened, and I looked in the back of him to were Takuma was chasing Maria.
"oh lord." I muttered. He nodded" yep, she decided to take a stroll. And Kaname sent us after the little she devil." he muttered.
I smirked" I take it you don't like Maria?"
I said calmly. He looked at me with serious eye's.
"something's off about her." he said seriously. I swallowed, and acted normal. I smirked and patted his head" alright, whatever you say detective gadget." I said calmly. He frowned, but then looked at my hand and smirked.
"you know, you smell awfully nice today." he said flirtatiously. I frowned and flicked his nose.
"no, bad vampire." I whispered. He pouted and nodded his head. And I couldn't help but smile.
Weiro.

Victoria's POV
"stay back!" I ordered the day class student's as I stood at the gates. Zero was leaning against the gates as usual. His infamous glare keeping people back. He seemed a bit distant ever since Helen had found my bite marks. I would have to talk to him about that later. I wasn't mad at Helen for acting like that. I probably would have done the same if Hanabusa bit her or something.
"no fare! You get the night class student's all to yourselves!" a girl whined in a really annoying tone. I shot her a look.
"trust me, I don't want one of your stuck up, rich, groomed for success boy's." I hissed at her. She glared" so you want a messy, mean guy who tells you what to do, and has no manners?" she smirked" no wonder your dating Kiryu." she hissed.
"SMACK"
the sound rang out though the crowd as the little bitch held her red throbbing cheek. I glared at her.
"shut up." I said calmly. She looked up at me with cold eye's, and jumped at me right s the dormitory gates opened. I jumped back as she swung at me, and Aidou yelled out.
"cat fight!" and then Kain smacked him in the head. The girl glared at me with sharp eye's, and smung at me against. But before I could block her hand, and before she could swing it into my face, a pale hand shot out and caught her wrist. I looked at the hand, and trailed my eye's up to the silver haired perfect I had fallen for. He glared.
"go back to your dorms, everybody!" he shouted. They all complied, and ran off. And we watched as the night class walked down the stone path. When they were all gone, including Yuki, I looked up at Zero. He looked down at me and sighed.
"you shouldn't have slapped her." he said calmly" but she said-" Zero shook his head"i know what she said." he said softly.
"but still, you shouldn't have slapped her." I looked down, feeling like I was a child being scolded.
"i won't take back what I did, and I wont feel sorry for it either." I said calmly, and walked off.
Why would I take it back. She insulted the one thing that makes me actually happy to be alive.
She deserved it. Oh god, I sound like a child?
XXXXXXXXXX
I stood in the shooting rang with my double barrel shot gun, blowing holes into the center of the required targets. My eye brows drew together as I focused on nothing but the targets. I didn't even notice the little girl sitting in the corner of the room with an interested look on her face. She cleared her throat, and I gasped, turning my gun and shooting at her. It went right through her, and she rolled her eye's.
"ow." she said in mock pain. I frowned"what do you want Sin." I growled.
She smirked"i just wanted to watch you shoot." she said on a fake little girls voice. Then chuckled darkly. I set down my gun and crossed my arms" liar." I hissed.
She laughed" your right. The real reason i'm here is because your angry." she smirked" angry at that annoying girl who insulted you dear Zero, and angry at Zero for scolding you for hitting that disgusting human." she said softly. I frowned and turned around.
"i'm not angry at Zero." I said calmly as I picked up the gun again and began to shoot. I watched from the corner of my eye's as she stood up and walked over to me, watching as I blew holes into the targets with scary accuracy.
"you know, if I could be killed by a gun, i'd be scared of you." she said calmly with a wide smirk on her pale face. I scoffed.
"your so smug, aren't you." I hissed at her. She nodded" do you want to know something?" she sang. I looked at her" what?" I asked. She smirked" both of your sides are winning at the moment." she said calmly.
My gun fell to the ground, firing one last shot, and making a hole through the bottom of the shooting range.
"what's that supposed to mean?" I asked with shock and fear in my voice and eye's. She laughed" it means, if your vampire and witches side wins, you'll be stronger then those stupid vampires." she said happily. I looked at her, and my eye's widened at the smirk on her face.
"and if both of your sides win, you'll be a half vampire, half witch. Which means you'll have the powers of a witch, and a vampire. And you'll be able to hide your vampiric nature from everybody." Sin said calmly. I blinked at her.
"this is bad." I muttered. Sin nodded" yep! I know." she frowned" if I were human, i'd feel bad for you." she sang. I glared at her.
"do you know what I want to know?" I said calmly. She looked at me"what's that?" she asked softly.
I crossed my arms" what are you? Are you a ghost, are you a demon?"
she smirked and looked up at me with her white eye's, which seemed to go on forever" I am the dark side of you. All of your sinful dreams, and actions. I am the feeling you get when you just want to rip someone's throat out. I'm the sinful feeling you get when Zero touches you. I am Sin. Your Sin." she said in that dark sinful voice of hers. I shook my head.
"then, if your here, and your my dark side. Where is my light side?" I asked curiously. Sin sighed" I don't know, and I don't want to. She makes everything so boring." Sin whined. She smirked. I rolled my eye's and waved her off as I picked up the gun. She looked at my hands, and smirked.
"i am also the peaceful feeling you get when you fire that deadly weapon of yours. The feeling that takes control of you, and makes you into the most deadly sniper in that sinful moment. I'm the dark feeling that takes you over when your about to lift up your gun, and blow a hole in the center of something, or someones head." she smirked, and I looked at her.
"i take it you know about my families ability at shooting." I muttered. Sin laughed" yep!" she said in her slow happy voice. If that makes sense? I looked up.
"if your the dark part of me, why are you in all white?" she frowned and put a hand on her hip" what, just because i'm your dark side means I have to wear black? Nuh uh honey, I like the color white." she said as she snapped her fingers. I couldn't help but laugh. She sighed.
"i better go, your boyfriend is walking up to the shooting range." she sang as she disappeared.
"what!?" I said, but she was already gone. Damn it! I honestly wasn't in the mood to talk to him. After what happened today, I was kinda on edge, and seeing him would just make me remember how angry I was with that girl for insulting my Zero. I frowned when the door opened, and I got back to blowing holes into the targets. Zero was silent as he watched me. My shots got the targets in the center everytime. Zero sighed and walked up next to me" your quite good." he said calmly. I nodded and kept shooting until I ran out of bullets to use. I sighed and set my gun down, and watched as Zero pulled out his gun, and set it in my hands.
"i want to see how you are with hand guns." he said calmly. I nodded, and cocked the gun, aiming it easily at the target, and shooting. The bullet hit the center of the target, leaving a decent sized hole in the middle. Zero smirked.
"it looks like you should have a gun instead of a sword." he said calmly. I smiled and held his gun in my hands, looking at the silver coating of the beautiful weapon that belonged to a beautiful man. I smiled and handed him his gun back, and put my hands in my pockets. There had been a thought running through my mind ever since I started dating Zero? I knew he still loved Yuki. so... what would happen if she decided she loved him to? I mean, me, Helen, and Destinee were changing the story so dramaticly. Maybe it would lead to her realizing she loves him? I knew, if that were to happen... i'd let him go, with a smile on my face, and wave him goodbye, and only cry when he was out of sight. I loved him to much to hold him back. I know, I didn't sound like a love sick obsessed fangirl anymore. I sounded like someone who was in love. Actually inlove. So in love in fact, I was willing to be miserable for ever, just so he could have his happiness. Yep, love would do that to you. I looked up at
Zero, and decided it was time to go to the dorms.
"we should get going to bed." I said calmly. Zero nodded and started walking to the door, me following close behind him. Yep, if he were to choose Yuki, i'd let him go. Simple as that.

It was dark, the air was suffocating me. I couldn't breath. It was cold, like I was drowning in the arctic ocean. My body shook violently as I tried to penetrate the surface of the water. Help me. I wanted to scream. But I couldn't find my voice. It seemed lost in the black water. There was a crash of metal to metal, and I looked up. Nothing? My sight began to blur, and I felt myself lose consciousness in unconsciousness. Weird?
XXXXXXXXXXWWWWW
I sat up in the bed that was across the room from Zero's. He slept soundlessly on his bed. The blankets half off of him, and half on. His messy hair covering his forehead. I tried to catch my breath. It was almost as if I had actually been suffocating? A little bit of moonlight shone in through the curtain. Staining my bed in beautiful white light. I swallowed the lump that had been forming in my throat, and stood up, shuffling over to Zero's bathroom, I opened the door and slipped in. I gently shut the door and leaned against the sink, my hands out in front of me, holding onto the edge of the counter as I tried to catch my breath. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I felt lonely. So, so lonely. I closed my eye's for a second, then opened them. I turned on the sink, and washed my face with the cold water. My eye's were tired, but I couldn't fall back asleep, to afraid i'd have the same dream.
I grabbed the hand towel next to the sink and wiped off my wet face. My eye's were red, and fresh tears dripped from them.
There had to be something mentally wrong with me if I was having those kind of dreams. But no, there was a reason behind it. A terrifying reason behind it. I almost wished I was mental. Then maybe I wouldn't have to worry about what Zero would think, or what anyone else would think? I'd be all cozy in my padded cell, with four square meals a day. But noooo, karma hated me to much. So she decided. Hey, since Victoria's life is already so sucky, lets ruin it even more! I sighed and opened the bathroom door, turning off the light and standing in the door way, looking from my bed, to Zero's. I decided I needed a teddy bear, so I shuffled over to Zero's side of the room, and quietly crawled into bed with him. He muttered in his sleep, and I smirked as I pulled the blankets back on him, and curled up against his warm body. "sigh" his body was so warm. He unconsciously wrapped an arm around my waist, and pulled my body closer to his. I closed my eye's, and fell asleep against Zero's warm body.
XXXXXXXXXXWWWWW
Zero's POV:
I sat in my room with my blood tablets in my hands. God how I hated these things. They didn't do anything for me. I heard the door open, and looked up to see Victoria walk into the room. I smiled at the girl before me. With her tall, curvy figure. And her long brunette hair. Peach colored skin, with light freckles strung across her cheeks. Her copper like hazel eye's. Her full, dark pink lips in that beautiful smile of hers. I couldn't deny it. I loved her so much.
"hey." I said calmly to her. She smiled and closed the door, running over to the bed and getting onto it. I chuckled when she snuggled up into my side. I wrapped my arm around her waist and looked down at her. Her eye's were warm, and her smile was bright.
I knew, if her vampire side were to win, i'd except her. She'd be the only exception.
I watched as Victoria's eye's slowly fluttered closed. Her dark lashes sending shadows across her pink cheeks. Then, she opened her eye's, and all I saw was red. Blood red. Her eye's were the color of a vampires. Her lips trembled, and she looked up at me with sad eye's. Then she let her hair fall infront of her face, and she reached up, clamping her hand on the back of my neck, and raising her head, biting into the my skin. My eye's widened, but I didn't move. She could do what ever she wanted with me. I was hers. She could kill me, and i'd still love her to death.
My eye's opened and I looked around the darkly lit room. Oh, thank god, it was only a dream. I felt terrible for having such a dream honestly. I then realized the small, warm pressure on my side, and looked. I then saw Victoria's calm sleeping face. Her eye's fluttering under her lids, and her lips in a soft pout. Her long messy hair cascading down her shoulders. I then saw the tear marks running down her warm pink cheeks. I frowned and let my hand rest on her cheek. She had been crying? Is that why she crawled into bed with me? I let a soft smile grace my face. It made me feel good that I was a source of comfort for her. She murmured in her sleep, and snuggled closer to me. It was hard to ignore the heat that was radiating off her body. Her body pressed against mine. I felt the bloodlust start to ignite in my veins. What made it even worse, was when she moved in a certain way, and her soft, pale neck was exposed. I bit my lip hard, drawing blood. I licked the blood off my lip and tried to sit up without waking her, but my attempts failed when she muttered in her sleep, and turned over, wrapping her arms around my waist. I had to admit, it was adorable when she did that. Her eye's started to flutter, and they gently opened.
" Zero?" she whispered softly as she rubbed her eye's.
I looked at her, and she looked up at me, her eye's slightly widening. I could see my eye's in hers, red.. my eye's were glowing red. Damn it!
She slowly sat up and moved closer, taking my shoulders in her small hands, she moved the hair from her neck, and exposed her soft neck even more by pulling at the baggy shirt she was wearing. I remembered the taste of her blood from before we were dating. It was truly sinful, and I couldn't help but lean forward. My vampiric side was fihting with my hunters side. I couldn't hurt her again. She was so fragile.
" are you stupid hunter? This women is strong hearted. She can handle it."
my vampiric side told me.
Of course I knew Victoria was strong hearted. If she wasn't, she would have ran away from me by now. She was a brave soul. She could blow a bullet clean through the center of your eye's, and smile afterwards. She was strong, but I still didn't want to bite her. I didn't want to lose her trust. But it's been so, so long since I last drank.
Before I could decide, Victoria sighed and pulled my head forward. I let my lips press against her skin. I couldn't help myself. I bit down gently, and she let out a small... moan!? It sounded so, beautiful. I decided I loved the sound right then and there, and kept drinking. Her hands found there way to my hair, and she gently pulled her fingers through my messy hair. Her head facing the ceiling as she let out little moans, and gasps. I removed my teeth from her neck, and gently kissed it, licking off the access blood from the bite wound. She looked down at me with calm eye's and placed her hands of my cheeks.
"i love you." she whispered gently.
I looked at her with soft eye's. I don't ever remember saying I loved her? I did, in fact, you could say I would die for this girl. I would.
"i love you to." I whispered, and lifted my head up to catch her lips in a gently kiss. She kissed me back gently. I did love her. A lot. Yes, I also loved Yuki. But there was something about Victoria that made me love her more. Was it the fact she loved me back, and she didn't love a pure-blood. Was that the reason I loved her more? Was it the way she handled herself. That day, when she was told she might have to go into the night class, she acted calmer then I would have. She was still scared, but you could just see it. She was brave, and she'd endure it if she had to. What ever it was, it made me love her more. Because I knew, for some odd reason, when she said she'd be with me forever, she meant it, one hundred percent. I knew, when she said she wasn't scared of me, she wasn't lying. And I knew, that when she said she loved me, she was telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Maybe, that was why I loved her?
