Chapter 1

She sat on a comfy chair, staring at out onto the moonlit fields in a large mansion of a home. She then looked at her claw like finger nails, trying to decide on what to do. She looked out towards the door seeing the many people who lived in his home pass by her room, the loud electronic music making the small things in her room shake.

Though she found it to be so boring here, she wanted to just leave out and do something she's always wanted to do for a long time.

"What? You want to go to school?" He asked in a deep tone.

"Yeah, I think it's something I should do, I've never once done it for as long as I've been here." She replied.

"You know we're taking a big risk in you doing that."

She nodded, "I know."

He sighed, "Alright Marinel, you can go to school but we'll find the right one for you so as to not attract to much attention to us."

Marinel nodded, "Alright."

She retreated back into her room, and waited, she waited so long that the sun was coming up and almost everyone retreated back into the basement to resume their activities. She knew she was the strange one, while the sun didn't harm her as much as her friends who would burst into flames the longer they stood under the sun's rays, it still hurt to be on them.

She wasn't a full-blooded vampire like they were; she was what they would call a half-blood; half-vampire and half-human. A creature looked down upon by vampires because they were not like them. Most gave her a cold shoulder while others ignored her except for a few who calling her a friend would be putting it lightly.

She kept mostly to herself, including her past while only two others knew of it and the only reason they kept her around was to ensure no one knows where to find vampires.

A knocking came at her door, and she opened it.

"Marinel," He looked at her, "I found you a school, nice little secluded place that should hide you really well."

"Really," She smirked, "Where?"

"In Japan," He said, "At a place called Astraea Hill."

"I see."

"Are you sure you want to do this Mari?"

She nodded, "I've been around for so long and not once have I gone to school, so yea I want to do this."

"I get it," He said, "Just remember, don't let anyone know you're a vampire, and a half blood like you should be able to blend in better since you are a day walker."

"Well, not fully." She corrected.

"I know, but the place is surrounded by a lot of trees, plenty of shade for you to walk through." He gave her the papers, she gripped them but he wouldn't let go, "One more thing, you must control your lust for blood." He said with a commanding tone, "You've had it easy here, but out there. it's a different story."

Marinel laughed, "Who do you take me for?" She walked back to start packing, "Don't you worry sweetie, I'll be careful."

"You better."

"So when does my flight leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

She smiled and waited for the next day to finally leave this boring place behind.

The sun hasn't even come out yet but Marinel already found herself waiting at the airport, sitting down growing ever more anxious to finally leave. She was left alone because no one wanted to be caught by the suns deadly rays.

Slowly people began to show up, getting their days started while others were waiting for their flight and Marinel observed everything going on, as she tapped her fingernails on the chair.

Another couple of hours passed by, the sun beginning to fill the room, she had to stand up and wait in a much more shady part of the building till finally her plane was called up that they would be boarding.

She walked through the plane, finally reaching her seat but it was next to a window where the sun was shining through. Luckily the person who would be sitting next to her showed up and she quickly offered her seat to him and sat next to him, away from the sun.

For the remainder of the flight she read her book till she finally made it to Japan.

After arriving to Japan she walked through the terminal and knew she would have to walk out in the sun and find a taxi driver to take her to the school.

She reached into her bag, pulled out a hat that had a black mourning veil on it, slipped on her black lace gloves and made sure her long sleeved shirt covered her skin and finally stepped out.

Despite what she was wearing, the sun already made her eyes feel uncomfortable and she could already feel her skin feeling the heat but it was manageable and not painful. While the sun wouldn't kill her like her full blooded brethren, it would still burn her to the point where it would look like severe burns.

She could feel many stare at her, no doubt it was strange seeing a woman dressed in all black, her face covered by a veil but she didn't fully care, she just kept walking towards the taxi and after loading up her luggage in the back, she climbed inside.

She handed him the slip of paper with directions and drove off to her school.

The drive was a long and quiet one as she saw him make one more turn and pulled out to a dead end parking lot or at least it looked as such till she scanned her eyes around, spotting a staircase made of stone that lead up.

She paid the man, grabbed her things and began her ascent up, still feeling the burning sensation from the sun she took a turn into the shade of the trees to cool off. She removed her hat, feeling the cool breeze on her face but yet she wasn't sweating, it just felt hot. She moved her sleeve up to look at her skin, it was only slightly red, and her clothes were doing a good job on protecting her from the rays of the sun but even still, it was a painful walk up.

She sighed, wondering if this was a good idea after all… she did want to go to school but she didn't know if she would be able to handle being out in the sun for long periods of time every day.

She put her veil back on, her hat and continued her walk towards the school. As she got closer she could make out the voices for girls, laughing, talking and giggling and she could only smile as she got closer.

She finally made it, "Well well," She smirked as she saw so many girls walking around, talking with their friends, "So many girls to play with, and so little time." she said.

She took her first few steps towards the path to the main building, that's when the girls all noticed the girl in all black walking towards the main building. She could hear many whispering already, no doubt talking about her and staring at her.

She opened the door and stepped inside, there was one girl there and looked up, looking at her.

-"Ohayo,"- she greeted the girl.

"Mornin' sugar," she replied, her voice like a seductress which enticed the girl working the desk, "I believe you should have me registered as Marinel Reeve."

Her face blushed, just by the tone of her voice which was getting to the girl, she went through the computer to look for her name.

-"Ah we have you are in our system, you'll be attending Miator correct."- She saw Marinel nod, -"Your uniform will be sent to you tomorrow, I'll have someone escort you to your room."-

"thank ya darling." She smiled and saw another girl come to the room after a few minutes, a girl with sky blue hair, and enchanting blue eyes, "Well now... and who might you be?" She asked as she extended her hand.

She smiled as she shook her hand, -"Suzumi Tamao, please to meet you Reeve-senpai."-

"Please," she gently ran her finger down Tamao's face, -"Just Mari."-

Tamao gently moved her hand away, all while her face was starting to go red, -"O-okay, Mari-chan…"- She then lead the way while Marinel followed.

Once inside the building Tamao described as the strawberry dorms, Marinel finally removed her hat and it was now that she along with a few other girls finally saw how she looked like underneath it. Her long black hair flowed down, her green eyes were like neon and her skin as snow, she was just enchanting to look at and many were speechless. Though Marinel wasn't so sure how she felt about all those eyes on her, while on one hand she liked it and in the other she didn't, she was already attracting to much attention and was not a big fan of it.

-"This is where you'll be staying at Mari-chan."- Tamao opened the door to her room and she stepped inside to look around.

"This'll do." she said as she set her bag down.

-"If you need anything Mari-chan, I'll be four doors down,"- She pointed to her left and with a smile she excused herself and closed the door.

Marinel walked around her room, "Some thick curtains, a change of sheets and maybe a small radio and this place will be perfect."

She sat on the bed and looked outside then wondered; what would she do at night, she didn't really need to sleep like normal people do and she was sure this place had a tight curfew.

While she wanted to explore the place, it would have to wait till the sun would go down so for now she would have to bored in her room.

Before she could gather her thoughts, a knocking came at her door and walked up to open it, behind that door was a girl, she had a commanding presence to her and carried herself seriously. Her blue hair reached up to her neck, her amber eyes bore an intimidating gaze but she was beautiful.

She smirked and leaned against her door, "Now who might this beautiful girl in front of me be?" she said, her words flustering the other girl slightly, a response she wasn't expecting to get from the new girl.

-"I'm Rokujo Miyuki, I'm the student president of Miator and you're Marinel Reeve correct, I'm here to welcome you to our school."- She said.

"Really?" She said, -"Are you sure you didn't come here to keep me company sugar?"- Her seductive tone ever present.

Miyuki cleared her throat, -"No, but I am to show you around so you can familiarize yourself."-

Marinel shrugged, "Shame." She grabbed her hat and followed Miyuki out the door. They made it to the main lobby and before they made it out, she heard someone's voice.

-"What's this,"- They both turned to see a beautiful woman walk up to them, her long silver hair trailing behind her, -"Miyuki, why didn't you tell me you were going to see our new student, I would've greeted her personally."-

-"I know why you would."- Miyuki turned to Marinel but saw she was approaching her.

-"What a beautiful woman, does she have a name?"- Marinel grabbed her hand and gave it small kiss which sent a static feeling across her body.

-"Hanazono Shizuma,"- She replied, her smirk on her face, -"You?"-

Marinel without letting go of her hand, "Marinel Reeve."

Shizuma stood closer to her, -"Come, I'll show you around."-

Marinel grinned, -"Oo please do."- she wrapped her arm around Shizuma, though she was surprised that a new girl was returning Shizuma's affection, most girls would freeze in place and wouldn't know what to do.

Miyuki only rolled her eyes and walked away, letting Shizuma have her fun which normally she would never let her do, but now she wasn't in the mood to deal with it.

"So you're the Etolie of the school, pretty impressive love," Marinel clung to Shizuma's arm as she explained to her how important she was to the school.

-"It is, but it can be really boring sometimes."-

"Really? With such a title, I would assume you could do whatever you want," She smirked, -"Like have fun with anyone you chose."-

Shizuma giggled, she liked this girl, -"I like how you think Marinel."-

-"You can just call me Mari, love,"- She had a suggestive look of desire on her face. Though before she could keep her advance on Shizuma, her skin began to feel hot, it was almost nearing a burning sensation and the sun was already on its high point which would explain her pain, -"Hey Shizuma, mind if we find some shade?"-

-"Oh course,"- She smirked and the two walked over, behind a couple of trees and watched as Marinel removed her hat but wait… something was strange, no beads of sweat on her.

Marinel waited in the cool shade as Shizuma looked her over, -"Are you okay Mari?"- she placed her hand on Marinel's cheek… it was cold.

-"Yeah I'm fine love, I just don't like the sun… I uh… I burn easy."- She said.

-"Oh… I've never heard of something like that."-

-"Strange huh."- She chuckled, -"But don't let that turn you off sugar."- She continued with a sly look on her face.

Shizuma felt her inner fire reignite and pulled Marinel to her, releasing a small yelp but kept her grin on her face as she stared into Shizuma's eyes.

"I like where this is going." Marinel wrapped her arm around Shizuma, letting it slide down to her lower back.

-"You know, most girls would melt just by being so close to me… but you, you're different, I like it."- She gently whispered near Marinel's ear.

Marinel smiled, then licked her lips slightly, "I see."

-"Well look what we have here, Momomi."- Kaname stepped from the shadows, -"The new slut and the womanizing Etolie that is too lazy to work."-

Shizuma's expression turned into one of anger and was about to say something when, -"Slut?"- Marinel let her voice ring out, she laughed, -"Oh please, you clearly don't know what a slut is but if you insult me again, then I'll hurt you in ways you can't even imagine,"- She was now in her face, -"And all without touching you, then, you'll be begging me to actually hurt you."- She flicked Kaname's nose causing her to take a few steps back, -"Let that be a warning to you."-

Kaname was speechless, but before she could say something back she saw Marinel take a couple of steps to Momomi.

-"And you, such a cute thing,"- She looked Momomi over, -"Beautiful too, now what's a gorgeous flower doing with trash like her?"-

-"Trash?! Excuse me!"- Kaname balled her fist, but Marinel only gave her a smug look and Kaname threw her fist against her and her movements were like lightning, she was nowhere near Kaname's fist!

What… happened, did they all see things or did Marinel simply just move away?

-"Are you done?"- Marinel asked when Kaname didn't answer after being dumbstruck, she turned back to Momomi who was already flustered by Marinel, and it was strange, why was she feeling this way, -"So tell me something pretty girl, would you like to be my friend too?"- She grabbed Momomi's hand and kissed it.

-"Fuck off!"- Kaname shoved Marinel away from Momomi, -"Get your hands off my girlfriend!"- Momomi didn't even react, she strangely found herself enticed by this girl -"Let's go!"- Kaname had to practically pull Momomi with her before she finally snapped out of it.

Shizuma walked up to Marinel, -"You're pretty straight forward huh."-

She giggled, "Well sugar, I don't see why not."

Shizuma chuckled -"I'm actually surprised you managed to freak out Kaname, that's a rare thing to do."-

Marinel however ignored her and pushed Shizuma against the tree, then pressed her body on her, "Now then love, where were we?" she whispered in a lustful tone.

Shizuma really liked this girl, the two stared into each other's eyes and closed the distance slowly, their lips about to touch when.

-"Shizuma!"- it snapped the two out of it and turned in the direction of the voice, seeing Miyuki standing there with her arms crossed, there was only so much room Miyuki was willing to give to Shizuma, -"You have a lot of work to do, lets go."- Shizuma hung her head and sighed, -"Only cause you found me this time."- She looked at Marinel, -"I'll see you later Mari."-

"Don't make me wait too long," she chuckled and watched the two leave. She walked out of the forest after a couple of hours of waiting, making her way back to the strawberry dorms and back to her room. It wasn't long till nightfall and everyone was in there beds sleeping, getting ready for the next day.

Marinel however was in her room, wide awake and trying to calm her thirst. It was unusual for her, unlike full blooded vampires who drank blood on a daily basis, she didn't need too and could survive without drinking blood but she still retained the incredible urge to drink it and it was like a heavy chain smoker trying to quit but wanted to smoke real bad, that's how she felt.

Most times she could cope with it, or she could preoccupy herself with other things till it went away but there were some days where she just couldn't control it and her vampire instincts would kick in.

Her fangs extended down, then she stepped out of her room walked for a while, entering the spica wing and picked a random door and entered it quietly. She looked at the two people sleeping, a blonde haired girl and another girl with long black hair. She pulled the blankets down gently on the girl with black hair, then gently moved her head to the side to expose her neck then leaned down… she opened her mouth, her breath on the girls skin and her fangs touching the skin but not piercing it.

-"Yaya?"- The girl opened her eyes and looked towards her friends direction, then looked around… the room was empty.

-"Yeah?"- She woke up and rubbed her neck, she felt something on her neck, -"What's wrong?"-

-"I thought I heard something."- She said softly.

Yaya turned on the light, -"Hey Hikari is there something on my neck?"- she asked and watched her stand up to look more closely.

She moved her hair, -"No, there's nothing there,"- She looked at both sides seeing nothing.

Yaya began to yawn, -"Lets go back to sleep."- The two turned off the light and went back to sleep just as quickly.

Marinel had been standing outside the door, listening in, -"Yaya huh…"- she whispered gently, though her lust for blood returned and this time went back to her room.

Though luck was on her side, she saw something crawling on the ground and she quickly snatched it, it was a rat and this wouldn't be the first time she's done this.

She sliced it with her claw like fingers nails, tilted her head back, opened her mouth then dangled the rat above her mouth and felt its blood drip down into her mouth.

Most times this was a better alternative for her as she didn't like to drink from people, her urges would get so bad, to the point she didn't care who she got blood from but she absolutely hated hurting people for their blood which her vampire brethren hated her for, they hated her compassion towards them, calling it a weakness.

After all the rats blood was drained, she disposed of it in a trash bin and wiped her lips, walked into the bathroom to wash her face.

Now she could sleep, she didn't need to but she could or she could go outside and to the city and find something to entertain herself over there and be back before anyone knew she was gone.

She gave off a smirk, -"A little late night fun never hurt nobody."- She giggled then climbed out the window and using her abilities, she made it to the city in only a matter of seconds.

Now she could have so much fun and be back before the sun came up, but besides that, she would officially began her new school life tomorrow and she just couldn't wait any longer.
