I do not own any characters from Vampire Knight. Anyone who reviews gets a preview to the next chapter. oh and the corny parts are meant be there. Sorry I couldn't resist.

I tried to jerk away, but the figure had me pressed me against its body and had its hand against my mouth. I mumbled an incoherent curse into the hand and clawed at it, trying to rip the hand away. I looked out in front of me and saw Kaname in the distance lurking through the trees. When I realized that I was not in Kaname's grip my mind began to race.

"What if I kicked the vampire in her shin, it worked with Kaname, sort of, maybe it will work here," I thought. So, I brought my foot forward and drew it back hard into the figure that had me.

The figure gasped and released me, while pushing me forward onto the ground. I hit the ground and caught myself with my hands. I stood up and started to step away slowly. Suddenly, I backed up into something and thought it was a tree and I was wrong.

"I got you now."

I recognized the voice fairly well. It was Kaname. I took off from Kaname, but I didn't get very far. Kaname grabbed my arm and pulled me back sharply. I turned to face him and brought up a fist and tried to hit him, but he grasped my forearm and began tighten his grip on both my arms with his nails.

I felt weak in the knees from the sharp pain that erupted from my arms, "Kaname…please let me go," I said on the verge of tears.

Kaname continued to tighten his grip and I was slowly growing weaker. Kaname pulled my arms over my head and pinned me to the tree next to the other figure. The back of my head hit the tree and I immediately felt a gash appear.

I had tears in my eyes and spoke softly, "Kaname…let…me…go."

I dropped my head and tears fell from my eyes. My bones were cracking until the figure that I had kicked pushed Kaname off of me. I fell to my knees and looked at my arms that were in front of me. My arms were dripping with blood because of Kaname's tight grip and nails digging into them. I looked up at the figure and saw it pull out a gun looking object and point it at Kaname.

I thought to myself for a moment, "The only person who carries a gun at this school is," I stood up fast and yelled the last part of my thought aloud, "ZERO!"

I quickly hugged Zero and kept my grip on him. "Kaname don't you know the rules? No attacking or drinking of the blood from ANY of the day class students. I'd advise you to return to your dorm before I report you," Zero told him coldly.

Kaname glared at him hatefully and turned and walked away.

"Shana, do you realize that you could have gotten really hurt if I wasn't here," Zero scolded me gently.

I kept him gripped in a hug, "I know but I don't know what came over me. It was like it controlled me. And I wasn't going to stop until it was done," I admitted.

"Well the night class, including Kaname, are not the kind of people to mess with. You must return to your dorm and sleep for awhile," he told me.

"But I don't want to sleep," I said. I let go of him and looked to the ground.

Zero looked at me confusingly, "What's wrong Shana?"

"It's nothing," I said running my hand up my bloody arm, not wanting to look Zero in the eye.

"Shana, your hurt," he said quietly.

"Oh it's just little nail scratches that's all," I lied holding my hands up in front of me as if in mock surrender.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the distance. "Zero! Zero!" called the voice.

"It's the headmaster. He's looking for me. Come on," Zero said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the headmaster's building. My scratches were burning at his touch. Zero pulled me in the opposite direction away from my dorm.

"Um, Zero my dorm is that way," I said pointing behind me holding back the tears from the pain.

"I know that, but the headmaster is headed in that direction," he replied pointing in the other direction and pulling me along.

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"Just be quite," Zero commanded. I kept my mouth shut and Zero pulled me to the headmaster's building.

"What are we doing here? I can't be here," I told him as I finally recognized my surroundings.

Zero pulled me through the double doors and down a darkened hallway. We then came to a door and Zero quickly opened it and pulled me inside with him. I thought to myself, ''That this must be a dream.''

Zero released my arm and shut the door. I walked over to the window and saw the headmaster lurking around in the trees.

"We should be safe in here for awhile," Zero said sitting on the bed.

I turned to him, "Where are we?"

Zero slightly chuckled, "My room."

My eyes widen and nearly lost my balance as I leaned against the wall, "Y-Your room," I squeaked nervously.

"Yes. Are you okay?" Zero asked curiously.

"Yeah…Just my wounds are making feel a little light headed," I said as an excuse, but not a complete lie. I really was feeling a little sick.

Zero stood up and took my arm lightly. He held it out and ran his finger across them, "Those are pretty deep," he murmured.

I looked at him and shook my head, "I know…I have definitely learned my lesson about Kaname tonight."

"Yeah, Kaname never likes to play by the rules."

"I figured that out," I said watching Zero continue running his finger across the wounds.

"Hang on," Zero said as he left the room for a moment and returned with a rag. He grabbed my arm again and began wiping the blood away. I looked up at Zero and saw that his eyes were a dark deep red color that was almost hard to see in the darkness around us.

"Zero," I said as I pulled my arm away, "If you want it, take it."

"I don't want to hurt you anymore than what you are," he told me eyes me.

"I was bitten by that one vampire," I admitted to him.

"You mean Shizuka?" Zero asked, it was more of a statement than a question.

"Shizuka? Who's that?" I asked, confused

"Shizuka turned-" he began but stopped.

I placed my hand on Zero's cheek, "Turned what?"

"Me."

"What do you mean?"

"Shizuka turned me into this blood sucking monster."

"Don't say that! You're not a blood sucking monster," I scolded him.

Zero looked at me with lust filled eyes. "Zero, I'm not afraid of you. I never have been. If I was afraid I wouldn't be here with you," I explained to him gently.

Zero grabbed both of my upper arms and held me in front of him, "I'm going to regret this."
