I walked around in the darkness realizing I was in the middle of the woods. Hoping to find someone, I walked, hopefully, in the same direction. Something was pulling me towards that way and I wanted to know what it was.

Reaching a turned over car, I ran towards it in hope that whoever was inside was okay. The car was old. It was one of the first cars ever made.

As I got closer, I saw bodies lying outside of the car. When I reached it, I could clearly tell that these were adults. I bent down and checked their pulse. Dead. Both of them. Honestly, I wasn't surprised because there was blood everywhere.

I looked around for a sign that anyone was out there. That's when I heard a child crying. Walking over to the battered car, I saw a child lying in there. He was bleeding bad and crying. Green eyes...

The boy had green eyes and short silver hair. Right away, I knew it was Riku. Out of no where, a blue-haired guy walked to the car and picked up Riku. It was Saix.

Saix gently cradled the boy in his arms and said, "Don't worry. Everything is going to be alright. I will be taking the place of your mom and dad, but don't worry I'm not a bad guy."

Riku stared at Saix, afraid.

"I'm afraid this is going to hurt, a lot, but it will get better. I promise."

Saix placed his hand on Riku's head, moving it. My eyes widened as he put his fangs into Riku's neck. Immediately after the bite, Riku screamed. I covered my ears so I wouldn't have to hear the boy I loved scream in pain.

I screamed Riku's name myself, but it seemed that no one seemed to hear me.

Finally, Saix pulled his fangs out and held Riku close. "I wish you would have passed out for that. You are a strong boy. Perhaps you will survive the Change."

Riku was still screaming with pain as Saix walked away.

Someone was calling my name over and over, but I couldn't find them.

"Sora! Wake up!"

I opened my eyes and could feel sweat run down my face. "Riku?"

He grabbed and held me close to him. I was horrified by the dream and Riku's screams that were painful not just to him but to me as well.

"Are you alright? You screamed my name like you were dying. I was scared you were."

I looked around and hugged him back. "I didn't mean to call you. I'm sorry. It was just a bad dream. You can go home now."

Riku stared at me and replied, "Would it make you feel better if I listen to what you dreamed about? I am curious."

He started breathing down my neck and kissing it as I blushed. "Okay."

I sat there and told him as he listened without interrupting. When I was at the part where Riku came in, his face darkened. By the time I was done, he looked away from me and stood up.

"What's wrong, Riku? Is it something I said?"

He looked out the window at the full moon. "That dream you had, is the same exact way I was changed into a vampire. I remember every bit of it. Saix came up and Changed me."

"What did he mean when he said 'Perhaps you'll survive the Change?'"

Riku sighed and continued staring out of the window. "When the venom of a vampire is in a human, it is literally killing you. Only a person with a strong will to live, will change into a vampire. If they don't care, because the pain is too much, then they will die."

There wasn't much I could say. I could only imagine what Riku went through and even then, I'm sure it was no where near what he really went through.

I looked over at the clock and saw that it was about two in the morning. Four more hours until I had to get up and go over to school. Letting out a sigh, I got out of bed and walked over to Riku. He put and arm around me and said, "Go to sleep. I'll be here until I know you'll be fine."

"Don't you have to sleep?" I asked, getting back in the bed.

"Vampires don't sleep. All those crazy stories people told about vampires sleeping in coffins are all a bunch of bologna. It's all myth. We don't need sleep. In a way, we're dead remember? The only thing we need to survive is blood."

I laid down and closed my eyes as he walked over and sat on my bed beside me. I closed my eyes and fell asleep again.

The alarm rang for me to get up at exactly six. I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed for school. It took me a few minutes to realize that Riku was here.

Grabbing a Pop-Tart, I headed out of the door. Kairi and Riku were already sitting on my porch and talking to each other.

I looked at them and said, "You know you guys can come inside, right?"

They looked up at me and said, "Okay. Thanks."

Riku got up and kissed me and grabbed my books.

Kairi looked at us, confused. "You two are...dating?" she asked, looking at me with her blue eyes.

I didn't really know what to say, so Riku spoke. "Yes and I love him. Do you have a problem with that?"

Kairi, I could tell, was hurt. I don't know which one she liked, but what I did know was that she did like one of us. I guess she didn't know we were gay, well, until now, that is.

She looked at us and ran off as I could hear thunder. It started raining as Riku and I started walking.

"What about Kairi? She shouldn't go alone in the dark. Plus, it's raining. She could get hurt," I said, trying to see if I could spot Kairi.

Riku glared at me with those scary green eyes. "Just let her go. If she wants to act like a child, then let her."

"Riku, she's our friend. Let's go look for her and try to talk to her," I said, running. I may be short but at least I could run fast.

Without looking back I ran through the rain, hoping to find Kairi. I didn't love her, but I wasn't about to lose a friend over something so stupid.

When I got to the crosswalk, I found her. Just as I was about to run up to her, I noticed a truck coming and that's when it hit me. The driver of the truck couldn't see Kairi! It was too dark to see anyone walking here.

I didn't hesitate as I ran to Kairi and grabbed her, turning so as I would get the full impact. The last thing I heard before all went black, was Riku screaming my name. The next thing I knew, I saw headlights, heard a screech, and felt darkness overwhelm me.
