Vampire Knight ( A Forgotten Love )

A deadly surprise

--Charlotte's POV--

Zero Kiryu. For all he knows is that I visited him after his family was murdered...but I saw him even before that happened. He used to be a kind and strong boy, now he's resentful and has a wall up to protect his feelings from the world. And his hate for vampires, hurts me. Mostly because he doesn't remember me from his childhood days.

"Hello Charlotte."

A boy with a mask and katana was standing a few feet away from me. His smooth silver hair was in a ponytail, and he was wearing a black long coat that blended in with the darkness.

"Who are you?"

I gripped my weapon and glared at the masked stranger.

"Let's just say I'm here for someone I used to know."

His voice...it sounds like...Zero's. It can't be. Zero never puts his hair in a ponytail and definitely doesn't carry a katana around.

"All right. Then how do you know my name?"

"You'll see soon enough."

He charged at me. I sidestepped and missed getting sliced by his blade. I took out my daggers and prepared myself to fight, this guy looks trained though.

"Who are you!?" I demanded.

"A person that Zero Kiryu would know. And you as well should know who I am. After all...you are my crush."

"No. It can't be...he died."

He dropped his mask, and it fell to to the ground. That face. Everyone told me he had died that night.

"I-Ichiru..."

"It's been awhile Charlotte...too long."

He started to walk towards me, I backed away every step he took.

"Everyone told me that you were killed."

"They're wrong. Shizuka took me in. She saw that we shared that same fate."

I glared at him. How could he have stayed with a cold blooded killer? Shizuka Hio. The one that murdered Zero's family.

"Why are you here Ichiru?"

"To see my big brother. And I heard that you were attending as well. I thought I would surprise the both of you."

"Well you did now please...leave." These words were hard to say to Ichiru. But if he's trying to kill me, then he's here for another reason as well.

"You know I don't listen. I thought I'd stay here for awhile. Maybe get to know you better."

I was pinned against a tree now. Ichiru was really close to my body as well. His hand was on my waist and the other under my chin.

'Is he gonna kiss me!?'

I was trapped. His grip was strong so it was hard for me to try to escape.

"I won't let you go. All these years and you've become more beautiful."

"Thanks for the complement, but why do you want me?"

"No reason really. I just get lonely and need someone to accompany me."

He was a hair width apart from my face and his warm body was pressed against mine.

"Ichi-"

I was interrupted by his lips colliding with mine. This isn't right. He might like me, but...it doesn't feel like love.
