Author's note: I'm sorry that i have not updated in a while I have been distracted with other things and I have to babysit three days a week until summer school ends and my computer gets hogged half the day sometimes(plus it can get very hot in my computer room). I will try to update more often, I do start my senior year towards the end of next month and will have to focus on my classes and senior project. I would like to thank everyone who has been reading this and my other stories and reviewing, I greatly appreciate it. But here is the next chapter, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I only own my original characters and nothing else.

-Elaine's thoughts-

"Okay Elaine don't make it obvious that you've never been this intimate with a guy. Don't blush. Keep your cool. Oh my god. I can't believe we are this close to each other." She thinks as his fangs sink into her flesh.

-end Elaine's thoughts-

"Are you okay Zero?"

"I'm such a wretch. Even though I loathe vampires and I don't want to hurt anyone. I can't stop myself from lusting for blood. Give up on me Elaine. You know that this won't last long just like the blood tablets. Stop before I lust for your blood."

"You ask me to give up? Hell to the no. There is no way I'm giving up. I don't give up on anything, or anyone. Go ahead and hate vampires, hate me for all I care. I'm not giving up on you."

"Why would I hate you? Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine I'm not anemic. But promise me you will come to school tomorrow."

Meanwhile, the night class lessons have ended and everyone is making their way back to the moon dorm. On her way to the dorm Roselle passes by Zero and smells blood on him. But strangely she smells Elaine's blood on him.

"Wait a minute he smells like blood. It smelled like Elaine's blood. I've got to talk to Elaine about this. I hope he didn't attack her like last time. Wait scratch that. I hope she didn't offer her blood to him its forbidden to keep a vampire alive like that."

She walks off to find Elaine when she runs into Kaname not paying attention to where she was going.

"Oh my god. I am so sorry Kaname I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Oh and have you see Elaine around? I need to talk her about something."

"No I haven't why?"

"I passed by Zero as he was walking back to his dorm and I swore I smelled Elaine's blood on him. Lord I hope that lass didn't do what I think she did. No way would she let him attack her. Oh god this is really bad. Got to run Kaname."

Roselle runs around frantically searching for Elaine. Hoping that Elaine didn't do what she thought she did. It is forbidden for a human to give their blood as bait to keep a vampire alive. She walks up to the stables and sees Elaine petting one of the horses.

"ELAINE!"

"Hey Roselle. Shouldn't you be in class right now."

"Classes are over, but that's not why I want to talk to you."

"Huh? What do you mean."

"Zero has the scent of your blood on him. Please tell me you didn't do anything crazy. Tell me that you didn't do what I'm thinking you did."

"Okay so what. I offered my blood to him and he drank it what's the problem."

"ELAINE! ARE YOU CRAZY?"

"No. Wait, why are you so livid about this."

"Cause what you did is forbidden. Zero is falling to level E your not suppose to keep them alive especially since you are a human."

"He needs help controlling his blood lust or he will just attack someone. What else should I do."

"You shouldn't of done it in the first place. Doesn't matter if you wanted to help him. You could get in serious trouble if word of this gets out somehow. Think before you act Elaine. I'm your friend I'm just trying to be helpful. And do you really think it was wise to leave him alone. He hates vampires and what he has become. Who knows what he will do if left alone Elaine."

" You are right. Sorry but I have to go."

"Never thought that Elaine would do something that irrational. She must like him or she wouldn't of done that." Roselle Thought to herself

"Looks like you were right about what Elaine did Roselle."

"Kaname did you follow me."

"You seem worked up so I came to help calm you down."

"So you stalked me to help calm me down? Okay no offense but Japanese people are weird. No one does that back home. Except for Aedan of course but he is crazy."

Meanwhile Elaine rushes into the room where Zero is being held to find Yagari pointing his gun at Zero's forehead.

"ZERO STOP! DON'T DO IT."

"You decided not to wait any longer for me to kill you. You promised me that day that you wouldn't make me regret losing my eye to save you. Well I'm not going to save someone that is going to take the easy way out. Struggle until you can't struggle any longer. Don't run away Zero. Oh and that woman is still alive."

Yagari leaves Zero who has turned paler than a ghost like he had seen one.

Back inside the moon dorm...

Roselle is walking to her dorm when she drops a big white note pad.

"You dropped something."

"Oh. Thanks Kaname."

"What is it anyway?"

"Um it's not mine. Its Elaine's drawing pad she asked me to keep it for a bit."

"Oh alright… You seem to be a good friend to do that Roselle."

"Um thanks Kaname."

Inside Elaine's dorm...

"I wonder what Yagari meant by that woman is alive. I'll have to ask Zero later. Man why do I think about him so much? Maybe I should talk to Roselle. She seems like the person who can give that kind of advice."

"Why can't I figure out this feeling? I've got to figure it out without making myself look like a fool around him. It's already hard enough not to act like a fool around him. Now I am thinking about him a lot. What the hell is wrong with me?" Think to themselves silently.

Uh oh, looks like Elaine has done something she shouldn't and got scolded for it courtesy of Roselle. Also who is this woman that Yagari mentions. Does Elaine's refusal to give up on Zero mean that she is falling for him. Could Kaname be falling for Roselle? Could she be falling for him as well. Will Zero forgive Elaine for what she 'made' him do. Why does Roselle have Elaine's art pad? Could she be borrowing it. Could this mysterious woman mean trouble for Zero and everyone else. Will we ever see the crazy ex-boyfriend?. Will Elaine and Roselle come to terms with their feelings. Will a confrontation between them help make them realize what is happening to them.
