I know I know, its been a while..

Own nothing

By the time you open your eyes, the world might have already changed.

"What do you mean she's gone?" His voice echoed through the darkness of the manor.
Aidou twitched. "I.. I'm sorry Lord Kaname." He bowed stiffly, face filled with fear.
Kaname turned away from him and crossed his arms in silence.

Aidou feared the worst, surely his Lord would punish him gravely for his insubordinate actions. He closed his eyes awaiting judgement. After a moment, he felt something grasp his shoulder lightly. Shocked, Aidou rose his head in astonishment. "Lord Kaname..?"

Searing pain enveloped him as a warmth flowed down his arm to settle on the floor, pooling beside him.

Blood.

Kaname shifted his blood soaked grip from Aidou's shoulder to clutch his throat, lifting him from the ground. His feet dangled above the floor, his body limp. Kaname's voice came out softly, almost a whisper.

"You WILL find her."

Aidou's body fell to the ground.
He was spared.. For now..

Zero skipped out on his classes for the day, not wanting to take the chance of another outburst. He wandered the halls as the sunset, all the day students were safe in their dorms for the night. Normally right about now I'd be...

"Zero! Hurry up! We can't be late for our guardian duties!" Yuki smacked his arm as she ran by him on her way to the night classes main gate.

He took a step forward, reaching out, but it was too late, the vision of her faded. He was alone again...

Pulling out his pill box, he emptied a small handful into his mouth, but it was never enough. His thirst couldn't be quenched anymore, and this was beginning to scare him. How much longer did he have?

His head whipped around, he could sense it.. A vampire.

He sprinted off into the woods, it was close.
Coming up to a small clearing in the woods, he saw a figure. Pulling out his bloody rose, he aimed it at the silhouette.

"Vampire.." He called out. The figure whipped its head around, to face him, the smell of fresh blood became so potent he could barely hold control. It was a young women, dripping in human blood. His hand shaking slightly, he tried to focus, but his vision was blurring. It was overwhelming. She licked her greedy lips, laughing, before lunging at Zero.

Shaking his head, he put his arms out, she clawed at him, pinning him to the ground. Struggling under her, he kicked her off. Throwing her against a tree, he held the bloody rose against her a fired.

Closing his eyes, he let out a breath. Looking down at his hands, they were covered in the blood of the human she had devoured.. His eyes flashed, as he held his hand up to his mouth, licking the blood off.

When had he fallen so low...

"I'm disgusting.." He turned away to return to his room.

Yuki stared up at the fading stars, it was almost dawn. Breathing in the cool fresh air, it had been so long since she'd felt this free. Not that she wasn't grateful for Kaname's protection, but it wasn't the same.
She sighed deeply, her love for Kaname was great, but he had so many rules, and being a pure blood was so tiring. There were so many expectations of her, it felt as though she'd never learn it all..

Was she truly happy with Kaname? She had always thought she would be, but found she missed her life as a human more and more each day. Sighing, was it really for life as a human she missed or was it just...

"Zero..." She glanced over at the boys dorm, to his old room, the light was still on. He was still awake..

Frowning, she turned away and began walking towards the headmasters suite, something felt a miss, it was gnawing at her insides, but she couldn't quite figure out what.

Zero sat on his bed, hunched over.

I'm losing control... he buried his head in his hand. I don't know how much longer I have until... He closed his eyes.

"I.. I can't take this chance anymore.." He lowered his hand to his side.

He glanced over to his nightstand, to the broken frame, to her.. She was smiling at him... almost, mockingly.
His eyes fell to the drawer below. Reaching for the handle, his eyes travelled back up to her. Opening the nightstand, he removed the gun he had tucked away inside, the gun he had entrusted to her...

I can't put anyone else at risk...

"Yuki..." He softly breathed her name. He stared at the pistol for a moment. "You... I'll never have you back..." tears welled in the corners of his eyes, "You're dead.."

He brought his hand up to his head, pointing the barrel to his temple, this, the gun I entrusted to her, to end my life when she see fit. This gun.. how symbolic...

He closed his eyes,

"Yuki..."
