It's so dark. I hear voices. What happened? I can't remember. My head hurts. I can't take it anymore. My stomach hurts too.

I open my eyes slowly. The bright light from the sun hurts my eyes a lot more than it usually does. I go under the covers.

I feel something strange. I touch my head since it hurts really bad. That's when I feel my hair. I get out from under the covers and see that my brown hair has grown long.

It's down to my waist. Seeing my hair I can't help, but wonder how long I was asleep.

I finally remember where I was and why I was here. I get up and close the curtain. Going into a bathroom that happened to be in the room, and I go to look at myself.

I look the same except the fact that my dark brown hair grew from shoulder length to waist length. I also notice that I can see clearly. Like as if I were wearing my glasses, but I'm not.

Zero's P.O.V.

"So tell me what happened?" Headmaster tells me. I can't really explain something I don't know.

"All she did was stop walking. She started gasping. I tried to ask her what was wrong, but I think she couldn't hear me. She looked at me for an instant, but then she fainted. I caught her before she hit the ground." I told him for the seventh time today.

"She's been asleep for two days. Do me a favor Zero and go check on her." He says to me with puppy dog eyes. I hold back from wanting to hit him so I just walk off to the nurse's office.

I make it, but I get this feeling once my hand makes contact with the door knob. I open it carefully, and make sure my weapon is ready for any danger.

Walking in to see that she isn't there. I turn around quickly, and she instantly pins me to the bed. Her once short brown hair had suddenly grown so long.

I next look at her eyes. They're the same crimson as a vampire when they are thirsty. I can't reach my Bloody Rose. The chain on my gun, even if I tug it now, it would be too late.

She nears my neck and licks it. Then she stops and begins to tremble.

"St-stop me." I hear her whisper near my ear. Before she gets a chance to go near my neck she knocks herself down and bites down on her arm.

I smell her blood. It makes me thristy too, but I fight it off. I try to go near her, but she jumps up quickly. She bursts through the window all the way on the third floor. She sticks the landing, and begins to run towards the gate.

Alondra's P.O.V.

I have to run I have to. I wasn't going to hurt him. What happened to me? How did I even jump from that window and land safely. Did I become something else? I know there is something in my mind, but I don't want to admit it or believe it. I couldn't be.

I can just barely see the gate. My abdomen hurts. I'm so thirsty, but I can't do what I know I want to do.

I finally make it, but it's closed. I don't know how to open it. I try so hard to push and pull the gates, but it's no use they won't budge.

Suddenly feel hands wrap around both my wrists. I look up and see him again.

Zero is looking at me with an unreadable expression. That feeling hits me again. I can't deny it anymore. I want his blood.

He turns me to him, and with one hand he removes his tie. I try so hard not to, but this feeling is too strong and I take a bite. It's so good. Every taste of it going down my throat is so delicious.

Zero's P.O.V.

I can hear her swallowing. Why would I let a vampire do this to me again? Don't I hate them? I do, but she's different. How is she different? She was human when I first saw her so how did she become this over night? Was she attacked? I don't understand, but I feel her as someone so fragile and delicate. Almost like Ichiru. Only she's even more different than he was.

She stops, and I can feel this sadness radiating off of her. Her breathing is heavier like as if she were trying not to cry.

Alondra's P.O.V.

I can't believe what just happened. Sure I've always believed vampires existed, but I guess I never believed it would happen to me even though it was my life long dream to be a vampire. If it was then why am I so scared right now? I can't think clearly.

Then I realize that Zero is still with me. I blink away newly forming tears and look up at him. I just want to tell him to kill me, but words won't come out of my lips.

"If I take some of your blood we'll be even and you won't have to feel bad about this." He says to me. I'm confused for only a moment. Realization hits once I feel his teeth or rather his fangs pierce my neck. I don't know how to react. I only stand there frozen. He drinks and drinks.

He stops just as suddenly as he started. He was right. I feel some relief.

I then hear footsteps from a distance. My hearing is better so I can tell that it's two people. I see Yuki again. She's with another man with dirty blond hair. Older, kind of creepy looking.

Zero's P.O.V.

"What happened?! We heard a crash in the nurse's office. I saw Headmaster headed this way so I followed him. What happened Zero? Who is- Alondra? Is that really you? Your hair it's so long." Yuki is asking so many questions. She won't even let me answer. I notice that Headmaster is looking at me in shock. He tells Yuki to get a first aid kit, but neither one of us needs one. But I realize I stained her with blood.

Alondra's P.O.V.

"Tell me you didn't take her blood." I notice that the man had gone completely pale. I can't take this anymore what do these people know about me that I don't know?!

"What are you talking about?! I wasn't sent here because of my grades was I?! Why am I here tell me?!" I just couldn't take it anymore. I was so frustrated and scared out of my mind. Then the man looks at me, and finally leads Zero and I to his office.

"Alondra. You've grown into quite the young woman. How old are you now?" I bet he's stalling, but I have no choice but to cooperate since I want answers.

"I'm fif- wait today is January fifteen so I turned sixteen two days ago. Does my age have anything to do with what just happened to me?!" He smiles at me and I can tell that I'm right on the money.

Zero's P.O.V.

"Zero do you feel strange or sick in any way?" He asks me with concern. I don't get what the big deal is. He won't get to the answers. Why is he stalling so much?

I notice she is becoming irritated. This is typical of the Headmaster, he always goes about his explanations in a roundabout way. It's like he can't help but keep a secret.

Then the Headmaster sighs and finally gets to answers.

"Alright you two. Alondra, your blood is very dangerous. That is what made your clan so dangerous. Your blood and bite are like a lethal poison. Whoever takes your blood or feels your bite will die instantly. Hm, but there are the very rare and few who can survive both. I know you suspected this from the moment you felt your thirst. You are a vampire." I can't believe what I just heard. I feel light headed and I sit down.

"Th-this is so confusing. I don't understand any of this. I'm a vampire? My blood and bite are deadly? My clan?" I feel so weak it makes me sick.

It's like I was just thrown into some weird fantasy novel and I didn't even get to pick the genre.

Zero's P.O.V.

"Yes, you see your father was once a powerful leader to a pureblood clan. He turned his entire clan human once he met your mother. But you were a special child. You rejected the seal and he gave you at least sixteen years before your vampire blood would awaken. But even I don't know why your blood and bite is so dangerous." He is looking at her with respect. But that doesn't matter. I can't believe what I just heard. She's daughter to a former pureblood.

How did he become human? If she is a daughter to a pureblood then why don't I hate her? Don't I hate them? I do, but she's different. Instead of hatred I only feel this need to protect her.

She looks so fragile right now. Daughter to a former pureblood yet she has all the vulnerabilities and traits of a human being. Without warning to myself and to her I pull her from the chair and hold her.

Alondra's P.O.V.

I'm left speechless. What just happened? He's holding me like no one has ever held me before. This makes me break down and cry. I don't know why now I decide to let all my hidden emotions come out.

"I'll leave you two alone." I hear the Headmaster say, but I can't do anything and just fall deeper into Zero's embrace.

What should I do? I have to talk to my dad only he can give me the right answers. Why would he hide this from me? Does my mom know? This is the worst.

He eventually lets go when I stop crying. The realization that I just cried on a total stranger makes me blush brightly.

Zero hands me tissues from a box on the Headmaster's desk. My shaky hand manages to grab a hold of those tissues, but when I graze his fingers, I flinch a bit.

I'm being so awkward, then again I'm not used to people being this type of nice to me. The closest type of affection I've gotten from people is a pat on the shoulder or rubbing my back.

"Thank you. . ." Better not forget my manners at least. He doesn't respond and I clean up my face.

"So you're a vampire like me. . . Is it always like this? So much guilt?" I break the awkward silence, wanting some kind of reassurance from someone who understands vampiredom more than me.

"Probably, vampires are all different. Former humans like us feel guilt because of our humanity. But there are beasts who take pleasure in killing  people." His lilac-gray eyes seem to darken, like as if he were reliving a terrible memory.

My hand moves on it's own, and before I realize it, I'm holding on to the sleeve of his uniform jacket. He looks at me, coming back to the present, his frown lessening.

"I. . . I don't want to attack humans. Can I learn to control myself?" He pulls his hand back and startles me with a gun pointed right at my head.

I stumble backwards and bump into the Headmaster's desk. My heart pounds erratically and I'm frozen. I've never felt horror like this. I've never known true fear until now.

"If your fangs ever touch a human, I will deal with you."

*Zero's  POV*

She cowers in fear, curling up against herself as I walk over with Bloody Rose pointed at her.

She drops to her knees and puts her shaky hands over her head.

I startle her again as I grab her wrist, making her look at me with tear filled eyes. My chest feels tight as her reddish-brown eyes glimmer in the dimly lit office.

"And. . . If my fangs touch a human, then you'll have to kill me instead." Her eyes widen as I dangle Bloody Rose from the chain I have it attached to.

She frees her wrist and with a warm hand she pushes my hand back down.

"Then, if we don't want to harm humans. . . We can only rely on each other. Looks like vampires can drink from each other, so we only need that. Right?" What a strange proposal. Yet, it doesn't seem like a bad idea at all.

"Fair enough. . ."
