Chapter 8

Yuuki POV

When I woke up Bella was in her bed, blankets in disarray around her. I sighed; glad to see that she was back. I'd been worried about her last night but decided not to question her about it. It was probably best to take things one step at a time and I wanted to speak to her about her eating habits.

Getting off of my bed, I walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. Impatient, I did the part of my morning routine that was within the confines of the bathroom at Vampire speed. I hated having to be human all of the time now; habits that I'd obtained after awakening were becoming hard to kick.

I put away my tooth brush, reaching for the door handle at human speed. Bella was up now, her hair pulled up in a sloppy ponytail as she waited for the bathroom. We ghosted past each other as the last rays of sunlight began to fade from the sky. I pulled open the curtains, glimpsing the Day Class students as some went to the Sun Dorms whereas others milled around the Moon Dorm gates, well the temporary dorms gates. Though, they wouldn't be there tomorrow night.

Kaname had made the announcement last night, we'd be moving to the actual Moon Dorm today. Classes were cancelled so that we'd have time to get all of our things moved out and put into place in their new home. The Cullens seemed visibly unhappy with this announcement for a moment, as if it was bad luck or something. Alice was the one to react the most; her cheery face immediately fell when the words left Onii-sama's mouth.

I didn't understand why though. What could be wrong about moving to the Moon Dorm?

There was a click as Bella excited the washroom. I couldn't help but notice how opposite our outfits were to each other's. She wore a pair of ripped up blue jeans with a black tank top that didn't plunge too low. The jeans flared out at the bottom and were a light wash. It was nothing like mine. Whereas she looked like someone who'd be head banging to rock music, I looked like someone who'd be practicing classical music on a grand piano. I had decided to where a dark forest green skirt of modest length with a form-fitting red turtleneck sweater. Since there was no classes today were didn't have to wear our uniforms.

"Morning. Shall we head downstairs?" I smiled, heading towards the door of our shared room.

Bella just nodded, letting her hair down from her pony tail as we excited the room.

Almost everyone else was downstairs when we got there, divided up into small groups as they chatted. Bella and I soon latched onto Alice and Rosalie, falling into a conversation about peoples different outfits.

A bang was heard and everyone's head turned towards it. Nessie entered the room, coming from the kitchen. Jacob immediately walked towards her, slightly snickering.

"What?" She asked, slight annoyance under toning her voice. Her eyes began to wander the room, and before Jacob could even reply she groaned. "Today's the day we don't have to wear are uniforms isn't it?"

Jacob slung his around her shoulders, still slightly chuckling. "Yep." He popped the 'p'. "Wanna go get changed? I'll wait for ya down here."

Nessie shrugged. "Whatever, I'll just keep this on. Everyone else probably wants to get moving, I know I sure do."

Kaname nodded, "Let's get started then. There are dollies in the corner over there if you'd like to use them. Come to me to get your new room number, then start moving. The gates and doors of the Moon Dorm are already open for us."

The class became a flurry of activity, everyone moving together in pairs with their roommate. I had already gotten our room assignment earlier from Onii-sama, so Bella and I went and grabbed some dollies.

I sighed as the last box was unpacked, glad that the night would soon be over. Of course, there was still one more thing that I had to do, and no way was I looking forward to it.

Bella had moved downstairs already. She had less stuff than I, making her job of moving a lot easier than mine. I groaned as I picked myself up from my bed, not wanting to leave its comfort. The moon was still visible in the sky; I guessed there was about an hour left before sunrise.

I walked out of our room and towards the stairs slowly, unsure on how to approach Bella on her eating habits. I wanted to help her, but I didn't want to end up insulting her either, that'd just make things worse.

Pretty much everyone was in the foyer when I got there. Bella was chatting with Alice about something, so I moved to the side, claiming a couch where I could wait. Watching them out of the corners of my eyes, I couldn't help but notice how worried Alice looked. Her usually cheerful face was scrunched up, and her clothes weren't the pristine perfection that was the average for her. She was talking quickly in a whispered tone, and I couldn't hear her over the din of the voices from everyone else.

One thing I did know was whatever she was saying was changing Bella's demeanor too. Her brows were furrowed in what seemed to be frustration, and she seemed slightly fidgety. She replied to Alice, probably trying to calm her down.

Whatever she said worked slightly, for Alice calmed down enough to start berating Bella on her appearance. I couldn't help but giggle at that.

Alice left, her head scanning the foyer, probably looking for someone else. I got up, took a deep breath and made my way towards Bella.

"Bella-san, can I talk to you for a moment?"

She looked up slightly surprised, something was definitely on her mind. "Sure Yuuki-chan. What's up?"

"Well I was wondering if we could go somewhere else to talk, it's kind of private."

If she was surprised she didn't show it, she merely nodded her head and stood up. "Sure. Where would you like to g-"

That's when a blood curdling scream pierced the night.

Author's note- …I apologize for talking so long. My mused just slowly died. ;_; If you have something to revive it please tell me! My current obsession with Hetalia didn't help. I'll try to get the next chapter out more quickly.

Oh! And speaking of Hetalia, if you're a fan please check out my profile for stories! That's partly why it took so long to finish this! x3
