Alright. This chapter is in Kaname's POV(point of view) because (1)I needed to test if I could portray him correctly or not and (2), because this chapter highlights some major problems in the story that need to be considered.

PEOPLE NEED TO REVIEW ON THIS PLEASE.

And also, I'm changing the rating to M(mature) to be safe . . .

Happy reading!

Kaname's POV(Point Of View):

I took a seat on the edge of my bed, my hand coming up to run through my hair. Ember had just run off to her room. My hand came down to my neck, brushing past the spot she had bitten, where it was now healed.

I really hadn't expected her to just run out and bite me like that. She was so unpredictable at times. Still so young. It made me wonder why her thirst had gotten so bad. Pure-bloods like ourselves usually never lost control. Was I missing something? We were on equal footing here, even if she was younger than I, so she could be easily hiding something from me.

I heard her crying. I wanted nothing more then to pull her from that room and hold her to my chest. But I had made a promise not to enter that room without her permission. And I knew standing or sitting outside of the door would not persuade her to ever come back out.

I fell back on the bed, closing my eyes, letting my mind wander.

Ember. I pictured her face, heart shaped, and beautiful as always. Her light pink lips, flushed with aggravation, as they parted in a sigh. She was so innocent, despite her blood stained past. Did I really want to take that innocence from her? Would she understand the consequences of becoming my lover? Was I selfish enough to not care?

But I already knew the answer to the latter. My own sigh dragged out of my mouth. How I wish things could be easy. But things were only getting harder.

It was just getting harder to restrain her. To keep her so far away.

There was always Yuuki, too, to think about. My little sister, the one born to be my wife. I was the only one who knew. She was in pain. She was hurting over Zero. Despite everything, she had fallen in love with that hunter. She had been so willing, so fragile in my arms. I had made a promise to Haruka and Juri that I would take care of her. But how could I do so when I had Ember in my life now?

I loved them both.

Yuuki. I had watched her grow up since she was just an infant. I had always been by her side. Always looking out as an older brother should. Did I love her more than that, though?

Ember. We had known each other before Yuuki was born. Way before I gave myself to Haruka and Juri. Even then, it was hard to resist her. She's a strong girl. So beautiful it's almost beyond comprehension. I loved her in ways that were indescribable with words. And now she was hurting over me. My whole being ached for her. The thought of her in danger was enough to cause me physical pain.

I had been leading both on, and now I'm stuck in the middle.

If I let Yuuki sit human for much longer, she could succumb to madness. But if she came back as herself . . . as the true born pure-blood daughter of the Kuran's, the girl who was born to be my wife . . . What would happen then?

I had priorities as a pure-blood. Responsibilities. Certain things were expected to me. Would I even be able to defy the promise I had made to Haruka and Juri and still be able to live with it forever? If I kept that promise, would I be able to stand watching Ember suffer even more? No to each question. It was such a heavy decision.

Yuuki would know that she was born to be my wife. Would she be able to understand the love that had grown in my heart for Ember? Would she blame herself? I had waited ten years so far after all. Would she blame it on making me wait?

Would Ember understand all of this? I could see her reaction now, if I tried to explain it to her. Would she be able to except it? Would she give me up?

I sat back up stiffly. She had stopped crying in the other room. I wondered if she had fallen asleep.

Either way, either decision, I would be putting a sharp dagger through the heart of someone I love. Would it be worth it in the end? Would I be able to live with myself?

If Yuuki had excepted this, excepted my love for Ember over her, would she be able to live on the sidelines? Live watching me love another woman while she still had strong feelings for me? I was all she had left when it came down to it. It was the same thing with Ember.

I stood, and slowly made my way back to the door of her room. I leaned my forehead against it, closing my eyes, listening.

"Go away, Kaname." I heard her muffled voice croak out weakly. It was hoarse from crying.

I sighed, sadly and with relief. "Please Ember, come to the door."

"No. Go away." she said, her voice breaking.

My hand gripped the doorknob and shook it twice, realizing it was locked. "Then let me in."

"You're not allowed in here." she said, more sharply. I heard the swishing of fabric as she must of sat up.

"Then come out." I said, slight smugness in my voice.

Despite everything, the stupid sadomasochist inside of me liked when she was upset. I hated the fact she was hurting over me, and at the same time, it caused me a sense of possession over her . . . which was a great pleasure.

I heard her take hesitant footsteps toward the door. She paused a few feet away.

"Please." I said, taking a slight step back, but had one arm extended to the door.

"I can't." she said, new tears in her tone.

"I'll tear the door off if I have to, Ember."

She sniffed, and took another step or two towards the door and me.

"Just unlock the door for me." I whispered, my hand already on the knob.

Finally, I left the click as the door unlocked beneath my hand. I flung the door open, but Ember jumped a good ten feet back from the doorway so I couldn't grab her. Smart, too, she was.

"Ember." I sighed, holding out my hands for her.

She shook her head, tears spilling down her blotchy red cheeks. Her eyes were puffy from crying so much, and her bottom lip was chewed raw. The sight felt like it tore my heart right in two.

"Come." I said, my voice a little lower with emotion.

She looked up, obviously seeing it on my face. The tears came faster and a sob tore up through her throat as she tried to take another step back.

I couldn't stand it any longer. Promise or no promise, I stepped through the door and enveloped her in my arms.

She beat against my chest and tried to break free of my grasp, but I only held her tighter, bowing my head down to press my face into her hair.

Her sobs became more desperate, as she still struggled for freedom.

"Please stop trying to put distance between us." I whispered, using one of my hands to pet the hair that was resting on her shoulder.

That seemed to make her falter. "I hate you, Kaname. I hate you!" she whispered angrily, burying her face into my chest and gripping onto the back of my shirt harshly.

I smiled, kissing the top of her head. "I hate myself, too."

She laughed, a little hysterical sound that bubbled through her lips.

"Come, you need to sleep." I said, and scooped her up into my arms, carrying her out of the room and turning off the light on the way out.

I set her on my bed, and pulled the blankets over her.

"Would you like me to sleep with you?" I asked, touching her cheeks softly.

She closed her eyes and sighed. "Just get under the covers, Kaname."

My lips twitched as I tried to fight off my smile, but I did as she told me, and pulled her fully into my side.

She turned on her side and wrapped her arm around my torso, her leg curling around mine.

I pressed my lips to her forehead and sighed, inhaling her scent into my lungs.

She closed her eyes, and fell asleep quickly.

I watched her, tracing her features with my fingers like I had did before, and before I sank into my own slumber, I kissed each of her eyelids gently.

Please, puh-lease, review people. I need insight. To keep me going.

I know the plot and the whole story period is confusing and a bit jumbled right now, but I promise I have it all planned out, and if you just stick with me, it'll get better along the way.

And I apologizing for this being so short. Like I said, this was just a test.

Forth chapter will be back in Ember's POV. And things should start getting better from there.

Let me know if I portrayed Kaname alright. If you guys liked this chapter(where it was in his POV), let me know, and I might fill in some chapters with his POV, too.

Thanks either way, until next time! :D
