A/N: So it's like, 12:04 at night and I just finished watching Vampire Knight. It saddens me that there are only two seasons on DVD, I want to watch more! Anyways, Please enjoy and reviews are very helpful, Thank-You!
So, it was just pointed out to me by my dearest reader, awanbiru that I haven't really described what Circe looks like! I'm so sorry! I'll try to be better!
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight
The pistol on her side pressed into her body as Circe found an enclosed area of trees. She took off her coat and laid it on a low hanging branch. Carefully, she unlatched the pistol holster and set it down. Circe grabbed onto a branch and swung herself up onto it. She hadn't worked out in a while, when she found out she had family, she dropped everything to find them, and here she was.
Taking a deep breath, Circe launched her body at a branch five feet away and three feet up from where she was standing. Latching on to it with her right hand, she pushed her body to reach for another branch, higher up. The feeling of her muscles working together to trapeze through the trees felt amazing. Circe let her mind take a break as she swung through the trees with ease, something she had always enjoyed.
"Beautiful" Circe's heart stopped as she heard a voice. Dropping like a rock from the tree, she bolted to the pistol.
"S-stay back! Err... no, show yourself!" she cursed herself for stuttering.
"Calm down" The person laughed and stepped out from the shadows. "I forgot how jumpy you were."
"You..." Circe held the pistol tighter. It was the boy from the plane, the vampire who had put her to sleep. He was tall, blond, with green sparkling eyes. He was gorgeous. 'No,' she chided herself, 'he's a vampire, don't let his looks deceive you.'
"That was, wow, amazing. You're really beautiful and strong. Oh, sorry, my name is Takuma Ichijo." Ichijo smiled and walked closer.
"Don't. Don't come any closer, vampire." Circe spat the word like it was venom. Keeping eye contact, she slowly bent down and picked up her coat and holster. "Do not follow me." She turned and ran back to her room at the academy.
Zero was lying on his bed with his eyes closed. 'Peace and quiet'. It was all lost in a second. The door flung open, and he sat up. Circe stood, hunched over gasping for air. Her small frame was shaking to badly, Zero thought she might combust.
"Circe!" Zero jerked up from his bed as the girl let go of the door frame and collapsed onto the floor.
"Just…ran... about… three miles… from…tree grove... to here… in under…..two minutes… can't… breath.." She reached out and gripped Zero's sleeve tightly with her petite, slender hand.
He griped her should and pulled her into a sitting position in his lap. "Why?"
She lifted her head up to stare into his eyes. "Vampire." Her eyes swam in tears.
"Who?" Zero growled. He knew the answer; it had to be that Aido idiot.
"Blond hair-"
"Blue eyes?"
"No, green"
What? Zero wasn't sure who it was, but he would find out tonight. "Did he touch you, hurt you at all?"
Circe shook her head, "No, b-b-but I'm deathly afraid of v-v-v-vampires. Ever since..." she trailed off.
"Since what? Circe, you have to tell us. When Ichiru gets back, will you?" Zero looked into his cousin's eyes, silently pleading to know. She nodded, and then buried her head into his shoulder, still crying.
"When I get back what? Why are you two on the floor?" Ichiru leaned on the doorway. "Circe, why are you crying?" his heart fluttered as he leaned down. "What's wrong?"
"She's finally going to tell us what happened." Zero looked at his brother.
Circe looked up at Ichiru and opened her arms to him, compelling him to sit on the floor with his small family. He wrapped his arms around her tiny neck, and scooted closer to his brother, ready to listen to a long story.
