Forgotten (Kaname x Reader) HIATUS

Chapter 4

It's a little later than I had hoped to release it, but when I did edit it, I didn't think it was long enough, so I had to add a little bit. Hope you don't mind, and thanks for being patient. Also, don't mind any grammar or typos. I'm going to read through this tonight and fix them. {7,570 words total}

That morning, I still couldn't tell her what had happened with Aido and Kaname. I could see the look of disappointment in her eyes when we got ready that morning. The silence draped over us, weighing down on me like a thick fog would in an early, crisp morning.

Something about the topic made me uncomfortable. Maybe it was the fact that Yuki was the first person to treat me like a normal person. I wasn't just a victim anymore. I'm her friend, and if she were to ever find out that there was some darkness within me... Would she even want to be around me anymore? Would I lose her? I didn't want my mind to muddle on the subject any longer, and instead of thinking of something else completely, I found myself thinking of Kaname.

A reclusive leader yet strong and firm where need be. Even though he knew I had managed to stop the vampire last night, Kaname knew I had done it. I had hurt a vampire. A weak mortal human managed to do that? No, something was very wrong with me, and yet he knows that. He still saved me and carried me back to my room despite knowing about my... unique abilities.

It raised the question though. Was Kaname a vampire too? A monster? Is that why I felt so cold at first towards him? It made sense as to why the Night Class would have their classes, well, at night obviously. They're unnatural, alluring beauty made it all click into place too. All of them were vampires. There was no denying it, and yet, they haven't attacked anyone else. From what I could tell anyway. They only attacked me..

Did they know what I was? Kaname asked me, so I'm guessing he doesn't. Aido kept referring to me as a weak human, so I guess they really don't know. Hell, I don't even know. I just need to keep low until this blows over. Maybe Yuki will drop it once and for all. I would like to hope so anyway.

It wasn't long will we found ourselves at a dinner table with the headmaster and Zero. I was a little surprised to find him there, but he seemed to be fine for the most part. Slightly agitated but alright. Yuki and I were both greeted with a hug from the headmaster, but both of us dodged it only to have him have an endless stream of tears. Yuki only smiled awkwardly as I rolled my eyes at the overdramatic reaction.

Needless to say though, it was nice to feel included for once. To feel welcome. To feel at home. Though how long would this last before they found out something was horribly wrong with me? Or worse, before he finds me. A shiver crept up my spine tauntingly as Yuki and I both took a seat at the dining table.

Yuki seemed cheerful enough that morning as she swallowed down her breakfast. As for me though? I just didn't have much of an appetite. I had too much weighing on my mind, and I guess it was obvious to the headmaster since he began to pry on the subject.

"It seems you had a bad experience last night, (Y/N). I know that you may have been startled by all of this, but I want you to know that you will be safe here. I've seen to it that the student-"

"Vampire." I muttered without hesitation, interrupting his reassuring apology. His eyes seemed to reflect his sudden drop in mood though.

"I won't deny it, but I would like to reassure you that they are not all bad. The ones living on campus are here to show that humans and vampires can coexist peacefully." I dropped my fork at his words, hearing it clatter against the plate loudly.

"Coexist? It's a delusional idea. I appreciate all that you have done for me, but I've already been attacked by one. Attacked, okay? There was nothing coexisting about it. It was predator against prey."
