Blood runs through my ears like standing right next to a waterfall, my body trembles like as if I were buried deep in the coldest snow, and my mind can hardly think straight.

How I'm able to keep conscious is beyond me. This pain is intense, but ever so slightly I can tell the pain is lessening. I guess everyone is too impressed with my change, and has forgotten about their fight.

I wince as my canines start to throb, my nails feel gross as they become longer, my scalp itches as I notice my hair growing longer, and my lightly tanned skin is becoming even more pale than I thought it would ever be.

Becoming a vampire hurts, especially if you're not prepared for it. All because I was clumsy, and fell on the vile. Talk about an embarrassing way to be turned.

I'd always thought it'd be one of those romantic moments where my vampire lover takes me in his arms, looks me intently in the eyes, and begs for me to stop him as his fangs pierce my neck. Cheesy, but I can't do anything about it. I have some naïve notions of romance thanks to the media.

My throat is dry. I'm so thirsty. It's something I've never felt before. I guess this must mean it's done. I've changed into a pureblood, and now I'm craving blood.

I look up as I see Kaname standing before me. He bites into his wrist, and the scent of sweet blood makes my fangs painfully pop out of my gums. He turns his wrist onto my mouth, and I open it gladly as the first drops of blood touch my tongue. It sends a jolt of satisfaction through me. Now I understand why vampires like the taste of blood. It's different to their taste buds than humans. But it's not enough...

"Is your hunger satisfied?" All sense returns to me as everything that happened falls on me like a ton of bricks. I abruptly sit up, and touch the blood running down my chin. I wipe it away, and look at the crimson liquid sliding down my pale finger.

My body feels so different, I feel so much stronger than before, like as if my true powers have finally awoken. The hunter and pureblood in me are mixing and mingling to make me stronger the longer I get used to my change.

I look around to find everyone's eyes on me. I blush, and run my fingers through my waist length brown hair. My hair hasn't been this long since I was eleven. I had forgotten how heavy it feels having so much hair. I look down at my blood stained chest, and reach down to pull out the glass shards that became embedded on my skin. Oh, right I suppose since I'm a pureblood, the vampires that aren't purebloods are hesitant now to harm me.

"Your blood has awoken, Alondra. Now I can eat you up." I gasp at Sara's sudden return. I was so distracted that I didn't notice her sudden appearance.

My heart pounds, my skin crawls, and a sudden gust of wind blows my hair up. I smell blood, and Sara's arms come off of me. I look around to find the place around me cracking, crumbling, and breaking apart. I jump as Kaname lands on my lap.

"You must calm down. Your powers are destroying this place." Kaname tells me. I look at him, and trust him enough to do as he says. I close my eyes, and take deep breaths to calm myself down.

The wind subsides, and my hair spills over my shoulder, face, and well almost all of my upper body. I move my hair away, and turn back to find a bleeding Sara putting her face back together. I look away, and rise from the ground.

"Lets go!" I gasp as Ichiru grabs my hand, and we start to run. I reach my hand out towards the two nekos following after us. They latch on, and I also look back to find Yagari-sensei running with us. Away from the building that's falling apart. Hopefully the two purebloods will stay there until their faces heal. I pull my arm up, and wrap both nekos in my arms as we run out of the top floor.

"We're not going to make it!" I yell out worried at Ichiru. I look back to find Yagari-sensei slowing down. Of course he was still too weak from his injuries and lack of basic needs. I pull away from Ichiru's grip, and he stops as well.

"What are you doing?!" He yells out at me.

"Go on ahead! I'll catch up!" I say handing him Kaname and Zero.

"What?!" He says stunned as do the nekos in his arms.

"GO!" I yell out accidentally unleashing some power, and pushing him back. I shake my head, and go back to Yagari-sensei.

"Don't come back for me, and get out!" He says dropping to one knee. I shake my head.

"No way! You're coming with us! I didn't come all this way, get caught, and turn into a pureblood to just leave you here!" I yell out taking his arm, and helping him up. I hardly felt the effort as I picked him up. I guess I have super strength now.

"We have to go!" I say pulling the weakened man with me. We curse as a giant piece of the ceiling blocks our only exit.

"Couldn't they invest in windows?" I say finding us trapped.

"Just go! I'm only dragging you down!" Yagari-sensei repeats trying to get his arm off of me.

"Screw you! We're getting out of this alive!" I tell him sternly.

I focus on the part of ceiling that was blocking our way, and I try to imagine casting my powers at it, and shattering it. It puts a strain on me, but it works very slowly. I manage to break it, and we start moving forward again.

I sense something behind us, and I whip my head around to find a blood whip coming our way. I curse, and pull on Yagari-sensei's arm to shove him through the passage.

The whip catches me, and I grab on to a pillar. "Sensei, get out of here! Please!" I yell out at him as he looks back at me in shock.

"Oh, so you can't leave me, but I can leave you?!' He yells out at me. He's got a point, but it's different. He's human and I'm a recently turned pureblood.

"Yes!" He frowns, and starts coming towards me.

"NO! STOP, SENSEI! YOU CAN'T!" I yell out at him. My emotion seeming to have an effect on my powers. Pushing him back.

"I won't let you come here! Please! I'll be fine!" I insist with him. My nails dig into the pillar as I begin to get pulled back.

"You're not going anywhere." I look book to find Rido next to me. His face is halfway put together, but not completely. He puts his one arm to my waist, and tries to pry my hands off the pillar.

I look forward again to find Sensei still there, and he picks up his double barrel gun weakly. I shake my head.

"Sensei, no! You ha-" I gasp as Rido's fangs pierce my neck. The pain is excruciating. On reflex I close my eyes as multiple shots go off. I feel Rido's fangs pull out of my neck harshly, making me wince. I drop to the ground, and look at the bullets in his forehead, eye, chest, and neck. It looks very painful, but he smiles like he doesn't care. Yet, the healing process seems to have stopped.

"Lets go!" Yagari-sensei grabs my arm, pulling me up, and rushing us out of there. I don't dare look back, so I won't see if Rido is still going to come after us.

"Why didn't you leave?!" I question him out of breath, feeling my blood still running down my neck.

"Because you didn't leave me." He answers as he tugs me with him so I can go faster.

We stumble down the stairs as the building rumbles again. Most likely signaling the fall of part of the top floor. "Do you know how to get out of here?! Are we even going the right way?!" I ask again. Wanting some distraction from the chaos around us.

"I'm just following Kuran's presence. He's purposely showing us the way. Don't tell me you don't feel it?" He says to me.

"I feel a lot of things! I can't really tell what they are yet!" I yell out since the rumbling nearly drowns out my voice.

"There's the exit!" Sensei points out towards the final flight of steps we still stand on. The ground rumbles again as I put one foot out. I slip, and bring Sensei down with me. I hit my head, but not hard enough to fall unconscious, but hard enough to open a wound. Sensei rises from beside me, and grabs for my hand again. I sway around as we start to move again. Yagari-sensei curses, and picks me up in his arms.

"Geez, you shouldn't have put on that dress. It makes you way too clumsy." He tells me as he too stumbles around as the building closes in on us. Slowly, but surely.

"Like I had much of a choice." I touch my head, and find no injury anymore. Looks like I heal a lot faster as a pureblood. The only thing that remains is the blood that came out of me.

"Sensei, we're getting nowhere like this! Put me down! I can walk now!" I tell him. He stops momentarily, and sets me down.

"Lets go." I grab his hand, and start running. Pulling him along now. I curse yet again at the sight of a flash of blond.

I put both hands to Yagari-sensei's one hand, and fling him out. Making him break through the door. I stop, but end up being tackled in the process. My arms are pinned to each side, and I look up to find Sara's crimson eyes looking down at me in fury.

"Get off!" I yell out at her.

"Your blood will be  mine! I'll be the most powerful being in existence! I will be queen of all the vampires!" I think she's lost her mind to the power my blood possess, but I won't let that happen.

"Not in your life!" I manage to tear the skirt of the dress, and move my legs around. I kick her off of me easily, making her hit a pillar behind her. It falls down, bringing more of the building with it.

"ALONDRA!" I hear a call to me from the outside. I see Yagari-sensei, Ichiru, Kaname, and Zero all waiting for me. I pick myself up, and run past falling rubble and debris. I'm so close, but it feels like I'm losing speed.

I manage to catch myself as Sara grips my leg. I thought I'd be able to keep her down longer, but she caught up to me already.

"Alondra! NO!" I gasp as the ceiling above Sara and me finally caves in. I put my arms above my head, but it's useless. I'm going to be crushed to death. I close my eyes, and wait to be crushed along with Sara and Rido.

I keep hearing crashing, rumbling, and crunching. This wait is torture, why haven't I been crushed yet? Unless. . .I open my eyes, and find myself surrounded in the familiar barrier of Blue Rose. I look down, and find Sara's arm still on me, but she's been crushed. I move my leg, and it disintegrates.

I look back ahead. "Kaito?" I see him putting down Blue Rose as he walks towards me.

"Reckless idiot." He says locking Blue Rose. The barrier fades, and I just stand there. Not sure what to do. I'm still in shock. I thought I was about to die, and I was ready.

Ichiru makes his way towards me, and I look up at him. I look at Kaname and Zero still in his grasp. They clawed at him, but Ichiru thankfully held on to them.

"Don't cry. You're okay." Ichiru says giving me a sad smile. I put my fingertips to my moist cheek. I didn't notice when I started crying. I catch my breath, and wrap my arms around Ichiru. Kissing Kaname and Zero in the process as well on their foreheads.

                                        ~0~

"Kaito, how did you know we needed help?" I question him as we return to the Hunters Association. Luckily the other Hunters on President Cross's side managed to find the spies, and lock them up for treason. I don't know what's going to happen to them after, but I guess they asked for it.

"Well, the fact that those three disappeared clued me in that there was trouble." He tells me. I run my fingers on the sheet. I look at my hands, and then back up at the guys.

"Well, good thing you did. Thanks to you I'm still alive." I say smiling up at Kaito. He stays silent, and doesn't even return the smile. I guess he dislikes me even more now that I'm a pureblood. It's not my fault. It was an embarrassing accident that turned me into a pureblood.

"How's Yagari-sensei? Is he getting proper treatment?" I question.

"Yeah, he's doing better." I sigh in relief, and then look down at the two bundles on either side of me, who refused to leave me alone since we got back. I touch their head gently, and they look up at me. I smile at each of them, and lie back on the head rest.

"What about Ichiru? What's going to happen to him?" I ask, worried out of my mind for him.

"Who knows?" Kaito says.

"They're not going to hurt him, right? He's going to be okay, right?!" I question again with more desperation. "Please! He has to be alright!" I insist with him. Kaito glares at me, and steps out of the room without another word. I run towards the door, but it is locked.

"KAITO! KAITO! OPEN THIS DOOR!" I yell out. Punching it until I put dents in it, but it doesn't even creak on the hinges. I drop to my knees, and put my forehead to the cold door. "Why is he doing this?!" I question.

Zero walks beside me, and puts his small hand on top of mine. "A pureblood turned his brother, and he had to kill him with his own hands. He's held a grudge against purebloods since then." I look over at Zero.

"But it's not my fault! I accidentally became a pureblood when the glass shards of the vile pierced my skin, and Kaname's blood came in contact with my own blood. He shouldn't hate me because of that! I just wanted to know if Ichiru was going to be okay." I tell him sadly.

"President Cross, will be able to help, right?" I question Zero hopefully.

"I don't know." He says sounding like he's giving up.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to him, you'll help me, won't you Zero?" He looks up at me.

"Don't you ever worry about yourself?" Zero asks me. I give him a small smile.

"Not really. I should, but I don't." I tell him.

The door opens, and I quickly perk up. "Ichiru!" I jump up, and wrap my arms around his waist, pressing my ear to his heart.

"You're okay!" He puts his arms around me, and strokes my long hair.

"Of course I'm alright. What did you think happened to me?" He questions confused. I give him a confused look, and tilt my head to the side.

"I thought they put you under arrest or something! The way the hunters glared at you, and how they took you away so suddenly. . ." I stop talking as he lightly chuckles.

"Happy to hear you're worried about me, but it was nothing like that. It was just a serious questioning about my loyalties. They were wondering who I was loyal to. The Association or the vampires." I impatiently wait for his answer. "I told them I was on your side." I blush at the comment, and then smile.

"Thanks. I'm glad I can count on you too, Ichiru." I cave in, and hug him again.

"I thought you weren't touchy feely." He says petting my head.

"Not with other people I'm not close to. Well, except my mom. . .Oh fudge!" I smack my forehead. I haven't contacted them at all, and I'm pretty sure they're going crazy, wondering where the hell I'm at.

"What's wrong?" I bite my lower lip, and look up at Ichiru, then over at Kaname and Zero.

"If my parents didn't hate you then they definitely will now. Guys, if the day I see them again is the last day I live I just wanted to say that I'm glad to have met you all, sadly I haven't completed anything I really wanted to." I sit in a corner of the room, and sulk. I can only just imagine the looks being exchanged by the trio in the room with me.

"Um, Alondra?" Ichiru says to me. I look at him over my shoulder.

"What?" He rubs the back of his neck, looking like he's ready to break some bad news to me.

"You're supposed to be going home by tomorrow." I drop my head at the prospect of returning to angry parents, and most likely a displeased sch-

"OH MY GOSH! SCHOOL! OH NO!" I stand up, and throw my body at the door.

"Alondra?!" Ichiru pulls me back, and holds me down until I calm down.

"Your school is on the other side of the world! Anyway, why are you worried about school at a time like this?!" He questions me.

"It's the only thing that keeps my parents proud of me." I say pressing my fingers together. Ichiru sighs.

"Idiot, I doubt that's the only reason they're proud of you." He tells me. I pout, and calm down, so he lets me go.

"Okay, if you say so. Now! Guys! Help me think of an apology!" I demand of them.

"Does that mean we don't have a choice?" Zero questions as he comfortably sits on the bed I was on earlier.

"You got it! Now help me think!" He shakes his head, but doesn't argue with me. I sit on the ground, crossing my legs, and getting into meditating mode. Even though I have no talent for focus or relaxation. What's the worst that can happen when this accidental pureblood goes home?
