"Alright, sit her down here." The nurse tells the two boys who helped me into the office. They sit me on the swivel chair, and the nurse checks up on me. Asking me questions, but the problem is I'm getting sleepy again. I'm scared to fall asleep. I'm afraid to see that nightmare or worse.

"She's exhausted. She hasn't been sleeping well." Kaname tells the nurse for me as I feel my head tilting down. This exhaustion is not normal for me. I'm too tired to explain it to the nurse though.

"Oh dear. Just lie her down for now, so she can sleep." The nurse says. I'm helped up again, and put to the bed.

"N-no. I don't. . .want to. . .sleep. . ." I try to say as I reach my hand out towards Kaname and Zero. I want to stay awake so bad. I don't want to fall into my dreams. I've never denied dreams before, but after that I don't want to dream ever again. Not like that. "No. . .Ze. . .Kan. . ." I can't do it. My body is shutting down.

As I thought. I came back to this destroyed world. Is my mind in shambles? Am I finally seeing how broken up I am inside? I think so. What I don't like is that it has to look like this. Where my loved ones are dead at my feet, and I just watch. Unable to do anything. All because I discovered two neko vampires I never meant to find. It just happened, and these nightmares aren't going to push me away from them.

Blood bubbles up from the graves that I dare not look at. The names there. . .I can just imagine what they say. There's no way out of this cemetery. Where there usually would be a fence separating the cemetery to the main road is just more cemetery, more blood, more destruction, and more death. Who is doing this to me? Why are they doing this to me? If they're trying to break me. . .it won't work! I've always defied people, and this person is no different. I will not let them break me!

"Whoever you are! You won't get to me! I will never submit to you or anybody else!" I yell out as my voice echoes through the whole place. I don't receive an answer.

"We'll come to an understanding." I jump at the voice. I turn all around, but I don't see the woman. Wait. This woman is different. I think. I was so confused before, and I could hardly tell what her voice was.

"Leave me alone!" I yell out to the woman that seems to be all around me. I don't know how, but these people have either invaded my dreams or I'm finally losing my mind. One of those two. I hope it's my second option. At least that way everyone would be okay. But Yagari-sensei did say that purebloods are after me.

Apparently so are the female purebloods. That's a little creepy, but at least I'll be training to stop them from ever coming near my family or me. I hear her laughter, but I stay strong. A hunter never shows weakness in front of a vampire. . .that's what Yagari-sensei taught me. I plan to uphold that.

"You're awake!" I open my eyes to a dimly lit room. I find I'm facing two concerned lilac-gray eyes. The fear I had suddenly disappears and I'm finally at ease.

"Pretty." I near the face, and kiss it. I don't know why. It just looked so cute and kissable. Am I still dreaming? Is that it? I can't remember what real is anymore.

"Lips. Small. Silver hair. Lilac-gray eyes. Zero. . .Zero? ZERO?!" I jump back, and fall off the bed on the other side. Oh crud! I was still half asleep. I'm so stupid! How could I have done that?! Oh gosh! Now I won't be able to face him! He must hate me even more now!

"Are you alright?!" Kaname questions as he rushes towards the other side of the bed.

"Eh? Um, y-yeah. I'm wide awake now." I say with a nervous giggle. Kaname smiles, and kisses my cheek.

"That's good to hear." He whispers to me. I blush at the sound of his voice.

"You looked like you were having a nightmare." Zero says peeking his head over the bed. I blush even brighter, and look away. He doesn't look affected at all. Well, I shouldn't be surprised. Typical though, I suppose.

"I guess you could say that, but I don't really want to talk about it. I just want to forget the nightmare, and get back to training. I have to get stronger." I say sitting up, and looking up at the dark ceiling. Time to bury away what just happened, because it didn't happen at all! It was a mistake...

"That nightmare is bothering you, isn't it?" Kaname questions me. There's no point in lying to them, so I should just tell them the truth.

"Yeah, it's only a nightmare. It just makes me feel awful inside. I saw horrible things, and I want to make sure they don't become a reality. That's why I have to get stronger." I tell them as I close my eyes. I wipe the tears that started building up from my eyes. I then smile. Ready to fight and protect those I love. Now its my turn.

The exhaustion seem to have vanished from my body. Looks like it really was a trick of the vampires. How far is their reach?

                                            ~0~

"Eeep!" I run around as Yagari-sensei tries to kick at me.

"Stop running, and either fight back or defend yourself!" He yells out at me.

"I can't! I've never been in a real fight before, and I'm outta shape!" I yell out flinging myself away from his kick.

"Quit thinking then, and let your hunter instinct take over!" He says still coming after me as I roll away.

"I can't! Focus is not my forte!" He isn't even giving me a chance to get up, and focus anyway! This is harder than I thought. Real life and imagination are two different things. I thought I'd be able to fight, and be all cool, but I was dead wrong. Damn!

I crawl away from him, and hide in the larger grass. "Okay! Okay! Focus, Alondra! You gotta do this!" I pep talk myself, and I slightly peek my head over to see where Yagari-sensei got to. Uh oh. I lost him. Okay, I gotta focus, and unleash my hunter. Easier said than done. I close my eyes, and try to focus myself.

"Gotcha!" I smirk as I stop Yagari-sensei's kick. He looks at me a little surprised, and I don't hesitate to flip him over on his back.

"Whoa. Awesome!" I cheer at that sudden move, but then a smack at my head makes me drop to the ground.

"OW! OW! OW! That hurt!" I yell out rubbing my head harshly.

"Don't lose focus idiot!" Yagari-sensei yells out at me. I frown up at him. Sadly he's right though. I have to start getting serious. It's the only way to keep everyone safe. And I mean everyone. I close my eyes, and really try to find the hunter in me.

It's not working. This is harder than I thought. I grunt, and open my eyes.

"Oh fudge." I look to find Yagari-sensei breathing heavily, and resting all of his weight on his one knee.

"What happened?" I question confused. I didn't even notice he got hurt or anything.

"You don't remember?" Zero questions holding on to my hand. Using actual strength to keep me down.

"Huh? Remember what? I just closed my eyes for a couple of seconds." I tell him. He looks at me surprised. "What's wrong?" I question him. They're being kind of weird. I'm not really sure what I missed out on.

"You were the one who fought Yagari-sensei, Alondra. You weren't out of it for a few seconds. The fight lasted ten minutes." My eyes open wide in shock at Zero's explanation.

"You mean I did that to Sensei?" I question. I'm still not believing what I was hearing. I found my inner hunter apparently, and didn't even notice. Weird. I don't think that stuff happens normally.

"Yes, so you truly don't recall a thing?" I smile, and close my eyes.

"Nothing. I thought I couldn't pull it off, but apparently I can. I guess training will be a lot more easier. I just have to notice when I go hunter mode." I open my eyes again, and realize that Zero was still holding my hand. I wish I didn't, but I blush.

"Z-Zero, thanks for stopping m-me." I wince at my stutter. I look over at Zero, and he realizes he was still holding my hand too. He lets go, and it makes me feel a little empty. I've gotten attached to them. Way more than I should.

"Yagari-sensei, are you okay?" I question him. He stands up, and wipes away sweat from his brow.

"Yeah, don't worry about it." He says. I nod my head, and realize I'm a beat up mess too.

"Wow. I guess I really did fight. That's weird. How did I not notice?" I question myself. No one answers, but I really didn't expect them to. I sit there, and look back up at the starlit sky.

"I wonder how many purebloods know about my existence?" I question aloud.

"They all do." Kaname says jumping down from a tree. I look at him surprised.

"Since when?" I ask him.

"Since the Vampire Council told them about you." I should have known that. If they apparently want to use me as a bargaining tool for the purebloods. How long has my own life been observed by the vampires?

Did they see me when I was the one that found Kaname and Zero? What if it hadn't been me? There's a lot of questions I have, but there really just hypothetical. Other than the one about the Vampire Council knowing about my existence and that I'm not an ordinary human.

"I don't see why I'm that big of a deal. Why the heck am I such a big deal? Am I seriously yearned for that much? I sigh, and rest my chin on my hand.

"Don't answer that. I don't want to know that." I stand up, and stretch my arms over my head. "Lets just go home. I need more four hours of sleep." I say yawning as we begin to walk back to the car. Out of the park. 

"Sensei, how long have the vampire hunters known about me? You're telling me about the Vampire Council knowing about me, but how do you know me? That Kaname and Zero ended up with me?" I stop by the passenger seat, looking at the three guys who crashed into my life and brought about the supernatural that was once a stranger to me.

Sensei looks at me from across the roof of the car. His expression is hard to read. He sighs.

"Both factions are heavily connected to the highest and lowest branches of governments. That includes things funded by government. That being hospitals. Both vampires and vampire hunters or affiliates want to keep the supernatural secret from all of humanity. What better to find anomalies among humanity than in a hospital?" My eyes widen in surprise. I mean, I suppose conspiracy theorists are not that far off when saying that humanity isn't exactly run by humans. Well, at least a small fraction of non-humans. Except they're not some alien lizard people, they're vampires.

"I see, so both humans and vampires get word of any anomalies born into the world. So, what then? We get observed all of our lives and maybe or maybe not know about it as we grow?" I arch an eyebrow. Sure that explains how they would know I exist, but what caused my anomaly to warrant attention until now?

"The hunters kept you safe when your parents moved from your birth state to where you live now. Of course among us there are also rats who would give you away to the vampires." Ugh, this sounds like some cheesy movie or something. I guess it's cool that my life isn't so ordinary, but maybe not so dangerously...

"Okay, then what about Kaname and Zero? How did they end up where they did? Do you know?"

"Coincidence I suppose. We'd been on a rescue mission when they up and disappeared in those pathetic forms." They both glare at Yagari-sensei, but I'm positive they don't exactly disagree with him. "You just got to them first. Yet, to bring them all the way here..."

"It definitely doesn't sound like a coincidence. Someone wanted me to meet both Kaname and Zero. There's still so much that is still hidden from me." I don't voice this thought aloud. I think that's enough mind blowing for today. I open the door for myself, Kaname, and Zero in the back. They hop in and climb over my legs before I close the door.

"You must have a lot of questions, Alondra." I glance over at Kaname as I help him and Zero buckle up.

"Yeah, I do. But I think I've heard enough for today. I'm exhausted physically and mentally." I force a smile before sitting back and looking out of the window.

"It must be annoying and tiring having your life be manipulated by vampires and humans." Zero speaks up and the disdain in his voice really sounds like he understands that all too well. I'm not even sure what to say. I suppose I never really thought about it in that way.

"Um..." I tried, but no. I have no more words. I'm going straight to the shower and to bed. Oh yeah, it's the weekend. So I can definitely sleep in today. Yay...
