Authoress's Notice: I am really sick of not writing. I went into this little cave of darkness since freshman year of high school and I still haven't come out of it yet. So here's a story that I pulled from my dreams about a week ago. It wasn't a detailed story but it was a very powerful and meaningful one. It's one of those dreams you just can't ignore. So here's to hoping that dreams can kick me out of my shell. Also, I hope when you read this, that you find a different level of maturity that I've never really pulled off in my writing before. It's been a while since I've written anything, so let's pray that I've still got a knack for something I really do enjoy doing. (I just realized that only about 1/6 of people read these notices)

Sincerely,

Katie

Prologue:

She awoke groggily. She felt a sort of emptiness inside her. She didn't need food...and she wasn't thirsty either. She knew just what she needed to keep herself content however, she knew that what she needed was no longer around. What she needed could be grown, harvested, raised, or bought. What she needed didn't exist on this world (or so she thought). I supposed she was just going to have to wait. How long would she wait? If it was minutes, months, years, or centuries, I did not know. Could she wait that long?

How could she be patient when she was suffering so greatly? Someone of her kind would suffer in minutes what we suffer in lifetimes. Was it worth the pain, despair, distraught, the restless angry bitter nights that fell upon the needy girl ? She had a choice. She could have left it, and moved on with her life. She could have ran to it, and left everything else behind. She could have waited for it. Perhaps this world would never be kind and understanding to her. For where you and I live in a world of good and bad, there is only pain, loneliness, and war in hers.

Shall I be the one to write your story, Yuuki?

Which will you choose my little princess? Shall you shatter earth or shatter all hearts?

(AN: I had another dream after the prologue and moved this entire story from a Naruto theme to Vampire Knight. Hope no one finds this too odd.)

Chapter 1 : The Dream Scene

"Ugh. I hate Mondays. Who honestly enjoys getting up at this hour." Yuuki grumbled unhappily. Nothing was enjoyable anymore. She turned off her alarm clock in a non classy manner and got up. Was it only 8 months ago that she was living in a castle with maids, and private tutors, and the man she loved? How had things changed so much in such a little time? From a normal student, to princess, to student again. Maybe someone didn't want her to be happy anymore.

She got up and changed into her school uniform. It was white. It was black before. Yes, before her world came spiraling down. She slipped into her shoes and grabbed her small book bag and walked out her door. As she was walking down the path to school, she noticed how brightly the moon shone. She noticed her shadow. ' I wonder where he is right now...' she thought.

Yuuki approached her school, entering through a back door so she wouldn't have to deal with those people. She didn't feel like approaching the humans anymore. Would they accept her as a person? Would they accept her as someone with the same in explainable feelings? No. She didn't think they would even think of her as anything but a slut and a worthless girl. Yuuki walked through a dark hallway quietly, not making any noise to attract attention from the janitors cleaning the hallways. She glanced at the old grandfather clock near her first class. "7:30pm", her class wouldn't start for another half hour. That was okay, she supposed. She opened the grand doors to her first class of the night: history.

Yuuki sat down at her seat. Her desk was considerably nicer than all of the others in the room. Hers was made of ebony wood. A nice clean cut desk, only for her. 'He used to sit here, his smell is still here...why do I have to sit here...it belongs to him.' She thought to herself. She set her backpack down next to the desk and took out a pen, her journal, and her iPod. She turned on the iPod and put her iPod headphones cautiously into her ears. She's gone through at least a pair of headphones a month nowadays. They're made so cheaply.

"I'll never talk again. I'll never love again. I won't write a song again. I won't even sing along again-" Yuuki sang as she was interrupted. "Why are you here so early Miss Kuran?" Ruka said quietly as she walked into the room gracefully, placing her pale purple bag on her desk. Yuuki shook her head, "I just felt like coming in early, I need to work on history homework anyways." She lied. Ruka smiled lightly. Ruka was a perfect girl. She had the best hair, best nails, perfect body, everything. She was everything that Yuuki thought she wouldn't add up to. Ever since he left, Yuuki has felt vulnerable, like she wasn't as good as everyone else. "That's good that your so highly concerned with your education. Education is something that those who live long cherish the most. It is the only thing we can never stop attaining you know." Ruka spoke quietly, not looking at Yuuki. Yuuki smiled slightly and nodded. "You are right Ruka. I wish to learn more about animals though. They are my favorite to learn about!" Ruka laughed half halfheartedly, "That's good to hear Miss Kuran. It's good to see that you are moving ahead with your life." Yuuki looked at Ruka dead in the eye. "I do not think it is moving on. I think I am just living and breathing. Moving on and living are two different things. You haven't moved on either." Yuuki stated flatly.

Ruka nodded, " I admit that I haven't moved on at all. To be quite honest, his absence leaves me upset and empty. I cry at night you know." She frowned deeply. Yuuki opened her journal and started writing in it. "I've heard you at night. It's obvious you loved my brother. It's been apparent for years now." Yuuki frowned as she scribbled in her book, making sure that the paper was not seen by Ruka. Ruka got the hint, by the weary look in Yuukis eyes. Being the selfish women Ruka was, she smirked and said, "Well, I know that your brother will come back for me. He would care less about you, you know." and with that Ruka got up and walked out of the school doors. She left her stuff at her desk because she would be back in another 20 minutes.

Yuuki sighed. "Would you give it all up for me...?" Yuuki looked out the window, with her crimson eyes. The vivacious moon was shining brightly for her tonight. It was colossal compared to most nights, when it barely shone a mysterious light. 'Can he even come back at all....?' She thought.

The door creaked open as a man of six feet tall walked in with a black shiny leather briefcase. "I'm surprised to see you at class early today Miss Kuran." The man spoke with a mocking demeanor. Yuuki glanced over to him, "Yes, I decided to come in early, it is quite noisy back at the quarters. I wanted some peace and quiet. I can see I shall get that no where though." She spoke with little respect for the man. "As your teacher, I would tell you to be more respectful of my status, but I'll let it slide since your not in class right now." He said. He set his briefcase down on his desk in front of the class and started writing some words on the dry erase boards. "By the way Miss Kuran, how is Kaname?" He glanced back at her and laughed.

That's the end of Prologue/Chapter 1! I hope you enjoyed it. I've been trying to use a lot more descriptive words and I also changed my writing style. Being in high school now, I think it looks better when its written in paragraph form. If you think I should go back to writing dialogue form, then you can tell me when you REVIEW. Which you will of course. Just hit the little button at the bottom of the page. Thanks for the support; have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!
