Chapter: 13

Renji had his hands in his pockets and he scuffed his feet on the ground, "Ember as you know the masquerade ball is tomorrow night. And I was wondering if you wanted to go with me...as my date."

Ember had a shocked look on her face, "Me? Go with you? To the masquerade ball?"

"Well yeah. I didn't just pull you aside to tell you to go fuck yourself," he said sarcasticly.

Ember's face turned red as if she was getting a tad angry, "Well, I'll have to give thought."

Renji looked at her in a odd manner, "Sure, take your time," Renji grabbed her hand and pulled a pen out of his pocket and wrote something on her hand. "Text that number when you make your decision..." Renji said as he faded into the darkness.

Ember looked at her hand and turned quickly and took off towards the night class dormitory. I slowly stepped away from the tree and a hand touched my shoulder. I turned quickly in fright. "Damn. For a vampire you sure get scared easily. Are you a newborn?" a voice said distantly.

My first instinct was to run away but if I did that I would find myself in a more difficult situation. So I spoke calmly and acted as if I wasn't afraid, "Yes, I am a newborn. Is that a problem to you?"

"No, I just smell a familiar scent on you," a figure appeared in the distance and closed in on me.

"A scent? What kind of scent?" I asked backing away from the figure.

"You smell like my brother."

I was shocked, "Your brother? And who is your brother? Do I know him?"

"Do you always ask this many questions?" a young man appeared in front of me all of the sudden and put his hand under my chin and pulled me closer to him. He gazed into my eyes, "Well what wonderful eyes you have. They resemble someone I know."

I pushed his hand away while closing my eyes looking away from him, "Enough about me. Answer my questions," I said in a demanding voice.

"Fine, I'll tell you," the stranger's eyes glowed red, "My brother's name is Zero Kiryu." My eyes lit up and Zero's name. "It seems to me that you know my brother."

"I know him," I answer quietly.

"Hm, could you tell me where he is?"

"I couldn't tell you if I knew," I said as I crossed my arms.

"Hmph and why's that?"

I didn't respond and took off running towards the dormitory. I reached the door and went to open it but it was locked, "Ah fuck," I reached in my pocket and pulled out my phone and called Ember.

Ember answered the phone, "Hello," she said as if she was sleepy.

"Ember come-" I was cut off by a cold hand that covered my mouth. I tried to get away and dropped the phone on the sidewalk. I could hear Ember on the phone saying my name as if she was panicked, I wouldn't blame her I was panicked too. Whomever had my mouth covered pulled me away from the dormitory and headed in the direction of the headmaster's quarters.

I finally pushed away from the person and turned with my fist drawled. I then saw Zero who's eyes were in shock at my anger, "Woah, Shana. Calm down."

I put my fist down, "Damn Zero. You didn't even bother to tell me that it was you. For a minute I thought was the guy that I ran into earlier."

"You ran into somebody?" Zero questioned.

"Yeah after class, this guy I ran into said he was your brother."

Zero expression grew into anger, "My brother. What did he do to you?"

"He didn't do anything. He just looked into my eyes and said they looked like someone he knew."

Zero looked at my eyes, "Shana were your eyes always a crystal purple color?"

I thought to myself, As many times as you lose yourself in my eyes I would assume you would know the color of my eyes, "Um no...They are brown."

"Uh no, they are crystal purple."

"No way. They can't be," I ran over to the fountain and looked in it and saw that my eyes were crystal purple, "How could this be."

"Don't ask me. Becoming a vampire shouldn't change your eye color. Of course Kaname is the one who changed you so I suppose he did something."

"Give me the key to the night class dormitory. I'm going to go talk to Kaname," I said as I held my hand out to him.

"You know I don't trust Kaname very well. So I will come with you," Zero stated as he looked down at me.

"No, I won't allow that. I don't want you and Kaname getting into a fight if its something serious."

"What do you mean something serious?"

"Like if it means giving up on everything, and give myself to Kaname..." I said as my voice faded into a whisper. There was a long pause between me and Zero. "So, will you please give me the key?"

Zero looked away from me and stuffed his hand into his pocket and pulled out the key to the dormitory. He then placed the key in my hand, "You be careful you hear?"

I stepped to him and hugged him lightly, "You know I will," I said with a smile.

He looked away from me and I turned and walked to the dormitory. Approaching to the dormitory I could just smell the smell of blood that I couldn't smell when I was human. I tried to surpass the smell but it over powered my senses. I reached the doors and unlocked the door and entered into the dark room.

"Finally you show up." I was startled by a familiar voice. I glanced around the room and saw a pair of dark red eyes peer from the chaise lounge by the window. I heard a snap of fingers and the lights turned on. I looked around the lights were dim light candles. My eyes then viewed the red eyed person. It was Kaname.

"Of course you would be waiting for me," I said as I rolled my eyes.

"Come sit," he said as he motioned me to sit on the couch just beyond my standing point.

I walked over and sat down on the couch, "Kaname? I need to talk to you."

Kaname had a wine glass in his hand filled with a thick substance and he took a sip of it, "About what?"

"I found out tonight that my eyes have changed color. Do you have anything to do with this?"

"Your eyes changed color you say?" he asked after he took another sip of his drink.

"I speak English," I said annoyed.

"Come here and let me look at them," he placed the glass on the window seal and sat up from the lean he was in.

I stood and walked to him. I stood in front of him, "So tell me. What did you do?"

Kaname grabbed arm and pulled me down to where my eyes were looking into his, "Hmm... These eyes. They are cold. They resemble calmness. The eyes of Shizuka..."

"Who?" I asked as I pulled away from the sight of Kaname's eyes.

"Shizuka, Do you not know who she is?" I looked at me as if I was stupid.

"Uh... Am I suppose to know who she is?" I said leading him on.

Kaname took a deep breath, "Shizuka Hio, she is a pure-blood vampire who's possesses unnatural beauty unlike all the other pure-bloods. Who also bit your beloved Zero."

"Okay that doesn't tell me why my eyes changed color."

"Hush and let me finish..." I gave Kaname a weird look, "She also possesses the weak..."

"Okay so you're saying that she is possessing me?"

"Not yet but she is probably in the process of doing it. Though I don't quite understand why she would possess you. I mean your actually pretty strong and brave. Are you afraid of something Shana?" Kaname shot dark eyes at me.

"I wouldn't say I am afraid..."

"Why's that? What's troubling you?"

"I won't tell you."

"Shana if you tell me. I might be able to help you over her. Do you really want her to reach into your subconscious and remove you from what you now exist in."

"Of course I don't...I want to over come her myself," I said as I turned away and headed up the stairs.

"Suit yourself," Kaname said.

"Oh don't worry-" I turned to looked at Kaname but he was already gone. I shrugged my shoulders and headed to the room in which I sleep in. I sat down on the bed and gazed out the window. I then fell to where my head was laying on the pillow and slowly drifted into sleep.
