Author's Note: Please check out the poll in my profile to determine who will be Nyx's romantic interest! Sorry for the late update but as I mentioned before I'm going through a tough time so please go easy on me. School starts tomorrow(I know my schedule is weird) so I don't know if I'll be able to post as much. Anyway, enjoy!
Fifth
I was so concentrated on figuring out Zero's words, that I didn't notice that we had arrived at the Moon Dorm. We approached a security gate, where an odd looking man gave us a weird glance, but let us pass through without question.
I didn't remember seeing so much security at the Sun Dorm. It gave me a strange feeling, but I tried to ignore it. Instead, I tried to figure out Zero's thoughts. His face was unreadable but one obvious feeling shone through: fury.
Before I could keep on dwelling on the subject, Zero swung open the doors to the Moon Dorm. Instantly, there was a change in the atmosphere. I felt as if I had been slammed into a brick wall. Repeatedly. I was so distracted by Zero that I hadn't noticed it before. How could I've missed it? I could feel myself going into panic mode, my pulse was out of control and I was sure they could hear it. I forced myself to calm down and face the situation.
My dorm was full of vampires.
Apparently, they were as unprepared for this as I was, because they all stopped what they were doing and turned to stare at me. I gulped, and looked at Zero for help, but he avoided my gaze.
So this is what he and the Headmaster where fighting about. My dorm mates. I hope I don't end up having to share a room with one … Zero was right, I do want to chop the Headmaster's head off, but judging by how serious he was about this program, if I killed one of them I was going back into the Association's claws.
The blond vampire that I had threatened at knifepoint was sitting on an ivory, classy couch with his mouth gapping open like a fish. I believed that if the rolls where reversed I would have the same expression. It's not like I would admit to that under any circumstances.
After some of the shock wore off, I saw that all of them had the same uniform as me. So that's why there are two classes. The Day Class for the human students and the Night Class for the vampires. Then, why was I here?! After a few more seconds, it hit me: I was the Headmaster's guinea pig.
Great. Just fucking great.
I was seriously reconsidering if killing blondie over there was worth getting my ass dragged all the way back into the Assosiation. I spotted Kuran going down the stairs as I dropped my bag on the spotless marble floor.
Zero walked inside. His shoulders where tense and I knew he was ready to spring to action if any of them made a suspicious looking move. I knew that because I was doing exactly the same thing. I rolled my shoulders before picking up my bag. I felt slightly better knowing that my dagger was safely tucked inside one of the short, brown boots the Headmaster had given me. The cool metal was a comforting reminder that I could go on kickass hunter mode if needed.
Kana- Kuran's face was unreadable but something told me he wasn't aware of me joining the Night Class either. That brought some satisfaction.
As I passed near the couch blondie was sitting in I noticed he was still staring with his mouth wide open. I leaned down and spoke so low that I knew none of the other bloodsuckers could hear me, "Take a picture, it lasts longer." Shock turned into anger, and blondie bared his fangs at me.
"Scary," I mocked.
I flashed him one last smirk, and turned to follow Zero upstairs. When passing Kuran, I just wiggled my fingers in a ridiculous wave. His face remained emotionless. I couldn't wait to crack his perfectly controlled mask.
Zero walked me through the twisted halls. We found my room soon enough, but before he could open the door I saw some huge double doors beside what I guessed would be my new home. Double doors almost always meant something cool and/or important.
"Where does that lead?" I couldn't help but peep while nodding towards the set of doors.
Zero sighed, "For your own safety, the Headmaster positioned your room next to Kaname's."
"Safety my ass." I grumbled under my breath. Zero seemed to hear it anyway, and cracked what I assumed was the start of a grin.
"So, changing the topic," I started, "At what time in the crack of dawn do I have to wake up to get to class?"
"You don't." Zero said as if it were the most reasonable thing in the world.
"I don't go to class?" Before he could answer I spoke again, "Listen comrade, I know you have the whole rebellious act going on, but if I play along, I'll get handed over to the Assosiation like a pair of returned shoes."
"Are you done?" Zero inquired, and I nodded. "Well, what I meant was that your classes start in about twenty minutes so I would suggest trying to settle down for a bit and then following the rest of your new roomies to class."
"Oh . . ." Zero probably thought I was retarded or something now. If he did, he didn't show it. Zero simply looked as if he had somewhere better to be.
"Anything else, comrade?" I demanded.
"Yeah, one thing," He said, "don't call me comrade again."
"As you wish, mate." I answered with a cheeky grin. He muttered something along the lines of 'it's hopeless' and my grin widened.
Zero left, and I allowed myself a couple minutes to think of every single door or window that I could use as an emergency exit if any of my new 'roomies' went all Dracula on me. After that I tried to make myself presentable enough to fit in with my classmates.
I sighed. Why do they even go to class? Aren't they supposed to be fanged geniuses or something? It didn't matter. It is what it is and I have to learn to live with it.
Who am I kidding! It scares the living shit out of me to know that I'm sleeping under the same room as those monsters in human form. Sure, I could take on a couple Level E's at the same time, but these guys were all aristocrats or higher up in the vampire hierarchy. I'm not even a real hunter, how could I take more than two at the same time? Plus, I was assuming there were more than forty in the building.
By the time I was done analyzing the structure, fifteen minutes had gone by. Suddenly I heard screams coming from outside the gates of the Moon Dorm. It was obviously more than one person, but there wasn't the usual scent trail of blood that came with a vampire attack.
Before I could go take a look at what was going on outside, there was a knock on my door. I gave my hair a final brush, and smoothed my skirt. Then, I opened the door trying not to freak out at the fact that a monster just knocked as if it was the most normal thing ever.
A different blonde vampire with bright green eyes stood outside my room with a cheerful smile. I gave him a quizzical look and his smile became even warmer. Odd…
"Hello! I just wanted to let you know that we are leaving for class now, and you might want to tag along." Blondie number two said.
I forced a smile into my own face, "Thank err…"
"Oh! How foolish of me," the guy face palmed, "I'm Takuma Ichijo, the Moon Dorm's vice president."
"I'm Nyx, the new girl." I answered with a not-so-genuine smile.
"Well, we are leaving, so just incase you want to come with us."
"Alright, Ichijo." I stepped out of my room and went down the hallway next to him.
"Please, call me Takuma." Ichi– Takuma pleaded. I only nodded, not wanting to continue making small talk.
