Kaname's eyes are redder than last night, but I can't seem to pull myself away from Zero even though I know it is making Kaname angry. But maybe it is just my imagination. Yeah, because that's so the answer for everything.
Suddenly, the door opens and Kaname walks in. Zero removes his lips from mine to look at Kaname, but holds on to my hand. "Is something wrong, Kaname?" Zero asks.
The tension in this room is growing slowly, but is enough to make anyone uncomfortable. "I came to say goodbye. I am going home for fall break," Kaname replies. I roll my eyes, but deep inside me I feel some pity for the home he has to go back to. "Are you feeling better, Rose?" he asks me.
"I guess," I say. I look him in the eyes and notice they are back to normal. "Why do you care?"
Kaname chuckles. "Rose, I will always care," he says.
Zero puts his arm in front of me and glares at Kaname. "Watch what you say, vampire."
Kaname's eyes widen. "Oh, calling me a vampire as an insult, are we?" he says sarcastically. "Too bad that you fell in love with one."
Zero's fist rushes towards Kaname's face, but I quickly grab it and stop Zero. "Stop it!" I shout. "I've had enough of this constant fighting!"
Zero slowly puts his arm down. "Rose…" The tears in my eyes stream down my face as I stare into Kaname's red eyes surrounded by his nonchalant face.
Kaname bares his teeth and growls, "I'm not done with you." He turns towards the open door and slams it as he leaves.
"Rose, are you alright?" Yuki asks.
I turn to her and nod my head. "Why?" I ask.
"Your eyes are… red," Yuki says.
"What?" I mutter. I rush to a mirror and look in to it and see that my eyes really are red. "But how? How could this be?" I ask aloud.
"Maybe it's just the fact that Kaname really pissed you off," Yuki says.
"No," Sky says, "that isn't it alone." She looks at me with sad eyes. "When I realized that I was a vampire, it was because I was angry."
"Shit," I mumble. "This… this can't be happening. I'm not a vampire!" I make a fist and punch a hole in the wall beside me. My body begins to tremble as my emotions begin to fluctuate.
"Rose, calm done," Zero says as he walks towards me.
"Just get out! All of you!" I shout at them.
"But, Rose-"
"Get out Zero!" I scream. I watch as Yuki pulls Zero out of the room while Sky remains. "I told you to leave," I say angrily.
"I'm not leaving you like this," Sky says. She walks towards me and puts one hand on my shoulder. "I lied, if you couldn't tell."
I laugh. "I'm not that stupid. I know you knew the whole time you were a vampire. I'm glad you saw I wanted them gone." I turn my gaze from her to the window. "What is happening to me, Sky?"
"I don't know, other than the fact that it is trying to break through," Sky says.
"What is?" I ask.
"Your vampire instincts," Sky says calmly.
"But why now?" I ask. However, Sky remains quiet so I look at her. "Sky?"
Sky sighs and looks at the ground. "Last night was the first time you have ever smelled blood of your own family. It awoke your senses and made you hunger for blood."
"But I don't have the slightest hunger!" I shout at her.
"Not yet, at least…"
I push her away forcefully and watch her fall to the ground. "I AM NOT A VAMPIRE!" I walk over her body and bust open the door.
"Rose! Rose!" Sky calls after me, but I ignore her and walk away. I open the doors out of the school building and walk outside angrily. As I walk, I notice people rushing towards the gates of the school. The students give me funny glance, and I realize that I eyes are probably still red. I quickly dash towards the lake and look at my reflection. I still have red eyes and now I have fangs.
I kick at my reflection and watch the ripples distort my image. "Damn you Kaname!" I scream as loud as I can. My face becomes hot as my body begins to shake again. However, this time I collapse to the ground, huddled over with my fists clenched.
"There you are," a voice calls out. I look up and bite my lip.
"Zero…" I look away from him because I don't want him to see me like this. Because I don't know what I am capable of.
"Sky told me what happened," Zero says as he approaches me. "You'll be alright."
I notice a rock beside my hand, so I quickly pick it up and throw it at him. "Zero, get-"
Before I could finish, Zero grabs my arms and puts his face to mine. "You won't become a vampire, Rose. I won't let you."
"Zero…" I mutter. Zero wraps his arms around me and kisses my cheek. "Zero, please… Let me go," I beg as a sudden urge grows in me that I have never had before.
"No, I won't let you be alone," Zero says. "No one knew about my life except for Cross. I know about yours, and I will be here for you."
"But Zero…" My body begins to shiver and I become thirsty. I shake my head. "No, Zero. Let me go!" I say as I try to pull away from him.
I feel a hand on my head gently pat it. "Everything will be alright, Rose. If you can't hold it in any longer, I am here. Let me be here for you like Yuki was for me," Zero says softly.
Soon, I find myself sinking my fangs in to Zero's neck. His blood… it is soothing… it… it's like nothing I've ever tasted before. No. No! I-I can't do this. I pull my fangs out of his neck and look at him.
"Zero, are-are you OK?" I ask hurriedly.
Zero smiles at me. "Yes, Rose, I'm fine." He kisses my forehead gentle, then wraps me in another hug. "Now I know how everyone else feels."
"Zero…" I feel like crying, but that seems to be all I do anymore. "What do I do now?" I ask.
"You keep it between the two of us," Zero says. "I don't know what everyone else would do if they found out that you gave in."
"Help me up, Zero-kun," I say, sheepishly.
"Alright." Zero stands and helps me up. "Lets get you cleaned up before we go back to campus."
"N'kay," I say.
