A Vampire Knight

Chapter 2

After the short car trip to the camp site, we get out of the car and get our stuff from the trailer.

'Gaah! This is so heavy!' I carry my bags. After getting to the camp site with a fire pit in the middle, I drop my bags and fall on top of them.

"Giving up again, are we?" Alya crosses her arms. Ready to make a smart alek comment about me. "If I were you, I would get myself off the bags and start making the tent."

'Seriously, Alya?' I get off the bags. 'Do I have to make the tent all by myself? I don't even know how to make a tent on my own.'

"Yup, but I mi~ght help you out. "She grabs a long bag and pours out the tent pieces inside it."Ok, let's get started!"

Alya and I put the pieces together. It's like solving one of those 3D puzzles, but a little easier.

'Ok, so this goes here?' I put two pieces together.

"No, the straight piece connects to a triangle piece." She points to the triangle piece right next to me.

'Oops, my bad. Heh.' I put the triangle and straight piece together and put the drape over the connected pieces and..... 'Done!!'

"Good job, girl." We high five and put our stuff inside the tent. "Finally done!"

'Same here, Alya.' I take out my sleeping bag and place it on the ground.

Alya gets a notification on her phone. She pulls out her phone and turns it on. Her eyes widen.

'What's wrong, Alya?'

"There's a new villan. Uggg, I so wish I could film this!"

'Oh, right, ummmmmmmm. I totally forgot, I left my other bags in the car. I'll go get it.' I step out of the tent. She probably figured out I'm up to something.

"Oh, ok. I'm gunna take a nap. I'm beat!"

I leave the camp area and go behind a tree. "Why can't a villan just come when we're at home?"

'Well, not time to complain about it now. Tikki, Spots O.......' In that moment, I hear something in the woods. 'Um, hello~?'

A person in a black jacket and brown hair comes out from behind one of the trees. "Hello, you must be Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Am I right?"

'Um....y-yeah... Who are you?'

"My name is Kaname Kuran. I see that you possess a miraculous. They are powerful hunter weapons." I don't know what to say. He walks closer to me, but I step back.

'W-what are you doing here?' I walk backwards into a tree.

"Oh, pardon my rudeness." He stops walking. "Unfortunately, I won't be able to answer that right now. But, I can tell you something about yourself."

'W-what is it?' I have shivers all over my body.

"I know this may sound crazy, but you are a pureblood vampire. Your memory was erased by your parents so you could live the life of a normal girl." Tikki flies out of her bag and guards me.

"How are we supposed to know you're not lying?" Tikki says to Kaname.

Kaname's eyes turn blood red and two of his teeth turn sharp. Just like a vampire...

'B-but, why do you you want me. I mean, I don't understand?' I point to myself.

Kaname turns around and walks the other direction. "If you want to know more about yourself, meet me here after you and Cat Noir defeat the villan. And also, don't bring anybody with you, your kwami. Or, I'll have to.... Well, you get the picture.."

Tikki gulps and hides behind me. Kaname vanishes out of nowhere. I gulp and look at Tikki. 'Alright then, Tikki, Spots On.'

Cat Noir and I defeat the villan,  Cover Girl. She took a while to defeat. These villans are getting harder to defeat by the minute.

"Pound it!" We fist bump. Cat Noir looks at his ring and I look at my earrings in a mirror. We both have about three pads. We don't transform for a while.

'C-cat Noir.' I grab his hand and he looks at me with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes, Mylady?"

'Did you ever go somewhere without your k-kwami?'

"Well, yeah. I've done it a lot."

'I mean, what if somebody told you that they want to talk to you and you can't bring anyone? Not even your kwami.' I hold his hand tighter.

"Well, I guess I would just talk to the person. Sure, it might be a dumb decision, but maybe it's  really important. It's your decision, Bugaboo."

'T-thank you, Cat Noir. That helped me a lot.' I look at him. This is the only time I feel like I want to be with him.

'I l-love you.'
