Bloodlust

I dragged this aching body to my dorm and threw it onto the hard mattress. The room was dark, the only light being a hint of silver the moon cast on my bedsheets. It was chilly as I forgot to close the window, the cool air refreshed and brought me back to my senses. I always found the dorm rather depressing, the walls and furniture were colored in dark brown and purple shades, but tonight the usually unpleasant dimness calmed me down.

A sudden, sharp migraine reminded me of my poor state. Cramps left behind unbearable soreness, I didn't want to move, but that was the only solution. I could feel my throat tightening as my fangs started to collide with the rest of my teeth. I needed to sink them into someone, immediately. There were no blood tablets left now that my life depended on them. But hunger wasn't the only thing that needed to be taken care of, I needed to hunt. I needed blood in more ways than one.

Just like Yuki had Kaname, Ai had Ren. I, on the other hand, had no one. Apart from having nobody to love, having no mate meant having no blood to consume. When I wasn't serving the Princess, I was rotting from hunger and boredom, drowning in my own loneliness. Naturally, I had to find some hobby to keep my mind from eating itself inside out, and that's exactly what I did. I found one that isn't exactly ethical but it feeds my desire for both fun and food. I am a vampire after all.

Now that I've regained my composure, I stood up and found my way to the door opening. As I exited my room, the flash of light blinded me for a second but my sharp eyes quickly adjusted. The halls were filled with white uniforms, each one of these students was my own kind, yet they wouldn't understand. They were all brainwashed into rejecting their dark gift and keeping a low profile, fools.

After two years at the Cross Academy, I became such a master at sneaking out in the town that it became my personal dining hall. Unlike other students, I believed that vampires had every right to consume humans as they will, we were always superior to them and that's how it shall stay. That's why I often feasted on the town's residents and no one ever suspected a thing, I took great pride in my stealth and hunting skills.

I quickly slithered through the busy halls and got to the main entrance which I passed through nonchalantly. As I exited the building, lightning shifted from the yellowish glow of candles on chandeliers to cold, silver illumination coming from the moon. I looked up and saw hundreds of small stars on the night sky, their pure light highlighting the crime I am about to commit and exposing it to the world.

The academy's yard is pretty big so it should have taken me around fifteen minutes to exit the school territory, I usually enjoyed the beautiful vegetation in the meantime and looked forward to my upcoming playtime. It was October and tree leaves started falling off a while ago, such a shame that it was too dark to see the autumn colors which I often observed in the daylight.

Unexpectedly, a pleasant, metallic smell captured my senses and turned my body into desire's marionette. I felt the discomfort once again, my heart started beating and my throat aching from dryness. My mind was blank and suddenly it wasn't so dark anymore, the colors of fall revealed their beauty before me. I became awfully aware of my surroundings and sensitive to even the slightest change. 

After scanning the space around me, I found the source of the delicious aroma, a hurt, vulnerable human male. He was sitting on the ground trying to stop his scraped knee from bleeding unaware of the fact that it will soon become the least of his concerns. There was only one problem though-he wore a black uniform.

Eating a student would be unforgivable, normally I would never commit such an act, but in that moment, I wasn't me. I could feel adrenaline rushing through my veins while the smell of his blood pulled the strings attached to the puppet my body has become. It made me move and I didn't have enough strength to stop myself.
