The sudden glare of light coming from the window woke me up from my slumber. I rose from the bed and heard the bell ring for the day class to start class. I walked down stairs and saw not a single forgotten soul. I sat down on the chaise lounge that Kaname was sitting on the night before and saw a glass wine bottle and a wine glass sitting in the seal. I slowly reached for the bottle and pulled it to me.

I opened the bottle and brought the bottle closer to my nose smelling a peculiar scent. I then quickly pulled the bottle away from my nose. I could feel a difference in myself. My throat became dry and I looked at the window and saw my eyes changed to a darken red color. I placed the bottle back and restrained myself from the liquid contained in the bottle.

In the distance, I could hear footsteps rounding closer to me. I turned and see Kaname come to a stop behind me, "Shana?"

Startled from his quick appearance I spoke, "What?"

Kaname had dark black eyes that peered down over me, "What were you doing with that bottle?"

"I did nothing but only smell the content."

Kaname grabbed the bottle and the wine glass. He then titled the bottle over the wine glass and a red colored thick substance filled the glass, "Here..." he held the glass out to me, "Taste it."

I looked at the glass, "That's a little thicker than the blood pills."

"That's because its not. This is the real thing. I know you have to be dying of thirst."

I looked away from him with a smirk on my face.

"Am I right?" he threw in with attitude.

I mumbled under my breath, "Yes you are."

"Okay, here. Taste it," Kaname held the wine glass from the top and it dangled in front of me.

I reached my hand out and lightly gripped the stem of the glass. The glass was to eye level to me and brought it down to where the rim was touching my lips. I slowly tilted the glass letting the red substance run passed my lips into my mouth. Swallowing the liquid I could feel the odd feeling of thirst go away. I glanced out the corner of my eye to a mirror on the wall just beyond where Kaname was standing to see my eyes return back to the crystal purple color. I pulled the glass away from my lips and felt some run down the side on my lip.

Kaname saw the blood run down and leaned up close to me and licked the blood from the bottom of my chin to the corner of my lip. He inhaled deeply as I blinked and in a instant his eyes change to red. My eyes enlarged as I stared at him, holding my breath. Kaname leaned closer his lips inches from mine. I didn't know whether to move or stay still.

Considering Kaname is a pure-blood he could crush me in an instant if I dared to move. I could feel the emptiness in my chest begin to pound. There was a chill coming from his lips as he lightly pressed them against mine. I released the held in breath, breathing heavily against his lips. He then pulled away from my bubble and walked away.

I was short of breath and my chest was pounding like a hammer against cloth. I placed my fingers against my lips and brushed them across softly. I stood from the lounge and thought to myself 'Why did Kaname just kiss me?' I then shook my head disposing of the thought. "I need more sleep," I said as I walked up the stairs and headed back to my room.

I closed the curtains so the light wouldn't peer in ruining my rest. I laid on the bed and feel back to sleep.

I woke up to the sound of night class students closing doors. I lifted up and rubbed my eyes while standing from the bed. I yawned and walked over to the door and opened it up to see some walk by dressed in elegant dresses and suits with masks hiding there identity. I closed the door quickly and leaned against it, "Oh yes that's right. Tonight's the masquerade ball for the students."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. I turned to the door and reached for the knob and opened the door slowly. On the other side of the door was Ember dress in a straight ball gown that was a dark green color, with her blazing, curled red hair pulled off to the side where it rested on her shoulders held together with a green rose. And I black mask that arched around the eyes.

"Wow Ember. You're actually going to the ball?" I asked with a devilish smile on my face.

Ember's face flushed, "Of course I am gonna go when I have a date."

I was stunned, "You have a date?"

"Yes I do," Ember placed her hands together and fantasized.

"And who is it?"

"You'll just have to wait and see," she smiled happily.

"I don't think I am going to go..."

Ember's expression changed quickly to depressed, "You have to go Shana. This is like a once in a lifetime thing."

I sighed, "I know. How about this I'll try and show up later on."

Ember's expression lightened up a little, "Okay. But if you aren't there I am gonna kick your ass," she said as she giggled.

I laughed, "Well you better go on before your date thinks you aren't going to show."

Ember blushed and turned to walk off, "Okay Shana. I'll see you there."

I shut my door and turned to see a dress laying on my bed. I titled my head a tad, "That wasn't there when I woke up." I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to the dress and grabbed it off the bed. I held it in front of me and decided that this is what I'll wear.

The dress was a floor length, light pink color ball gown. It had a large bow that was on the chest with roses to make the tied in the middle. With soft cloth ribbon that made the straps for one shoulders. From the waist down the dress flowed out and ruffled towards the bottom with black ribbons that held it up in the front.

I then put the dress on a viewed myself. I smiled and looked around the room for a mask. But turning back to the bed all I saw was a light pink hat that had roses come off the side to cover the right eye. I grabbed the hat and placed it on my head. The hat was titled to the side and the roses flowed down to cover my right eye like a mask.

I then looked around the room to find a pair of shoes to go with the dress. I opened up the wardrobe and saw a black of black closed toed flats. I put them on and I was ready to go. I left the room and looked around to see nobody in sight. I walked down the stairs and exited out the night class dormitory doors.
