Chapter 1: The Urge

12:30 A.M.

At this time of night, most, if not all of the students at Beacon academy were sleeping. All, except for one.

In the dorm room of team RWBY, one member of the four huntresses-in-training was tossing and turning in her bed, trying to find sleep. Weiss Schnee had been doing this for almost an hour, yet slumber evaded her. She would occasionally close her eyes and feel the need for sleep begin to take her, but then she was awoken by a searing pain, but she knew how to make the pain go away, but a part of her wanted for her to stay up all night and hope that the pain would go away. However, that would not be the solution. Only spilling blood would bring her solace in this sleepless night. Quickly and quietly, she set both of her feet on the carpeting of the dorm floor and stood up. She had been doing this gig for almost two weeks and the results were the same, her teammates never woke up. Her eyes quickly adjusted, partially aided by the full moon's light and her newly acquired sense of sight. She could see the room in perfect clarity and looked at each of her teammates.

Ruby Rose occupied the bunk above her, crudely held together by four pieces of rope. She hugged her pillow and mumbled something rather incoherent in her sleep; Weiss swore she said her name.

Blake Belladonna took the bottom bunk on the right side of the room. Ever since her friends found out she was a Faunus, she usually had her untied bow in her clutched hand. Blake was rather quiet, her mouth agape in her sleep.

Yang Xiao Long slept in the bunk above the black haired teammate. Weiss was surprised that none of the others woke up because Yang often snored in her sleep. Her mouth was wide open and her sleeping form sprawled out over the bed.

'Just sink your teeth into their neck, they'll never know' a small voice seemed to say in her head. She had to admit, it would be easy. Just stick her teeth into one of her partner's necks, suck out some blood, then return to her bunk and have them wake up with a sore on their neck in the shape of two dots. But she restrained herself.

'No, their friends. I can't do that to them' Weiss mentally scolded herself for such an idea crossing into her head. She would not want them to carry on her curse, her shame.

Quietly, she maneuvered over to the closet and pulled out her usual combat attire. She quickly threw a navy blue cloak over her uniform. She had dozens of cloaks that she got rid of on an almost religious type basis. Plus, navy blue would help her blend into the light of the moon. She also decided to keep her hair down, to prevent anyone from recognizing who she was. Quickly,she snuck over to the door and opened it slightly before slipping through and closing it, her friends, still asleep.

As Weiss approached Beacon's courtyard, she felt an all too familiar urge. The urge to satisfy a thirst that plagued her well-being every so often. She walked over to the airship dock that overlooked the city of Vale.

"Tonight, I will feast." Weiss said quietly as her normal blue eyes became blood red.

She quickly materialized a glyph underneath her as it flung her into the night sky.

Unlike most people, Weiss was special.

She was a vampire.

And tonight, she craved blood…
