My Cold Prince - Chapters 9 to 11

Chapter 9

*Kaname's POV*

I quickly left the class room, still amused about Jessica's comment, and walked down the hallway, bored. I took out a little packet from my back pocket, tore it open, and swallowed it. I grimaced at the taste and tossed it in the trash can. I suppose, I should explain what I just swallowed. Where should I start? I'll start at the beginning so you guys will understand.

I had never told Jessica about the sixth clan. Its existence was torn out of history, now vanished and not a lot of Shadow Guardians even know about the sixth clan. I am the next leader for the sixth clan, the Dragon Shadows Clan. My parents are Cassandra Nightshadow (mom) and Kaname Lightdragon Takumi (dad). I used to be a member of the Dragon Shadows Clan until they vanished along with the Death Reapers Clan. The Blue Phoenix Clan had eliminated us, and we had scattered, now in hiding and living in fear that the Blue Phoenix Clan members would hunt us down. I soon got in the Shadow Wolves Clan with the help of dad and I soon became a spy for the two eliminated clans. We sometimes meet up and discuss but that was usually it. We both used to be one clan, but there were too much of us so we became two clans. Before the two clans were even gone, the Dragon Shadows Clan was the first strongest clan, then the Death Reapers, then Ancient Dragon Keepers, Golden Flame, Shadow Wolves, and last of all, Blue Phoenix. The Blue Phoenix hated us so bad because they were last and they thought it was OUR fault that we had caused them to be like that. It was a stupid reason. Now that the Dragon Shadows Clan and Death Reapers Clan were gone, the Ancient Dragon Keepers were first and then Blue Phoenix, then Golden Flame and Shadow Wolves. Apparently the Blue Phoenix were content being in second and now, they think they are the rulers.

Another note that you guys should know. I'm a vampire. A full-blooded one. Not a single drop of human blood in me. The Dragon Shadows Clan and the Death Reapers Clan are the only clan with vampires. We were the only two clans able to become Death Guardians and we were strong. Also, the stories about vampires sleeping in coffins or turning into bats or that they can't go in sunlight is all a story. My great-grandfather had to create it so that the humans wouldn't know about our existence. Us, vampires, could go in sunlight and we aren't pale and cold. We look like real humans and we even feel warm instead of icy cold and we don't sleep. At all. We don't turn into bats which I thought was pretty funny but we do have special powers.

Daniel, Jessica, and their family are from the Death Reapers Clan. They know that I'm from the Dragon Shadows Clan because apparently, my parents were best friends with Daniel's. Daniel is a vampire too and he's supposed to be the next leader for the Death Reapers but instead now his parents and Jessica got landed in the Ancient Dragon Keepers Clan and one thing I know is that Daniel and Jessica's Aunt is now the Lady of the Ancient Dragon Keepers Clan. For some strange reason, Jessica is the only one who isn't a vampire in her family. When she was young, her parents had no choice but to withdraw her vampire blood and inject in a lot of human blood. So much that she slowly turned into a human and got sent away to a foster home and she never knew her real parents until now.

And I almost forgot, the medicine. It's a special liquified medicine that controls the vampire thirst but lately, it's not working for me. From time to time, Daniel usually hunts down people but he takes the medicine too. I haven't hunted people for six years, just constantly taking the medicine, and Daniel thinks that my immune system is rejecting the medicine because I haven't drank blood in such a long time. I'm 18 right now so....I have been 12 years old since I never drank blood. Odd.

Now that you know my history, I suppose that you guys understand everything now.

I turned to the next aisle and leaned against the marble pillar. My head was pounding like crazy and I was dizzy. I couldn't focus. I needed blood. Real bad. I saw a figure running towards me from a distance.

"Kaname! Kaname!" The person shrieked and I realized it was Jessica. She launched herself at me and sobbed. I hugged her tightly and she continued crying.

"Hunter.... Hunter is here! Help... you've got to help me...." She cried and I tried to tell her not to worry. I couldn't. My thirst for blood was too strong and Jessica's blood was so tempting. I wanted to sink my fangs into her neck and drain her blood but I was trying to fight it.

"Are you serious Jessica?" Asked Daniel who had just appeared. Jessica looked at him and whispered, "Yes. He was outside the window. Please, make him go away." Daniel nodded and dashed away, who seemed to have not noticed me. Jessica looked at me and her face turned from fear to anxiousness.

"Kaname.... your face.... what's wrong? Are you in pain?" She asked pulling away and shaking me gently. I looked at her and I whispered, "I am so sorry Jessica." She looked confused for a moment but my need for thirst was overpowering me. I let out my fangs and sank them into her neck, drinking her blood.

Chapter 10

I have so much ideas in mind *evil laugh*
************************************************************
*Kaname's POV*

I began to relax as I continued to drink the blood. Delicious. It tasted so delicious. I felt my victim pushed weakly against me but I didn't really notice. Then, before I knew it, I was flying backwards in the air and slammed into the marble pillar. I looked up furiously and wiped my mouth. Disgusting. That's one thing I hate about drinking blood. It usually smears around your mouth if you don't lift up your head carefully to avoid smearing your mouth. I hated wiping it. Its icky. One strange thing about vampires. I looked up to see my attacker and saw Will standing in front of me, with an angry expression and Jessica was next to him, holding her neck which was bleeding.

"Kaname... why are your eyes so bright red?" She asked frightened, and I stared at her for a while. I realized that I was the one who attacked Jessica. I had chosen her as my victim. I felt sick and told myself that I should have been on my guard. Yet, I couldn't resist the scent of human and blood so close, especially when I'm so hungry....for blood. I'm so disgusted at myself.

"I...I'm sorry Jessica," I said and backed away.

"Stay away from now on Kaname," Will said angrily and bared his fangs at me. Will is a vampire too and he's from the same clan as me. Dragon Shadows Clan. Jessica looked bewildered and reached her hand out to me. She stepped closer to me and whispered, "No...no, don't go Kaname. You've got to help Daniel from Hunter," I shook my head and dashed off. I heard her say my name before I ran off but I continued to run. I reached my dorm room and stumbled in. I sat on my bed and put my head between my hands. After a few minutes, I calmed down and changed into the school uniform. It wasn't mandatory for us to wear the uniform but sometimes, I felt like wearing it. I changed into it, straightened my tie and threw my bloody shirt in the trash. I carefully wiped my mouth and ran my hand into my hair. It grew quite a bit longer and nearly reached my shoulders. A haircut will do. And hair dye. I went to the escalator (Yep, my school has elevators and escalators and all those high-tech stuff and the school is 10,023 meters high, 10,025 meters long, and 10,024 meters wide. All made of marble and has huge pillars. It looks small in the outside but big in the inside. It's just an illusion to make it look small but the school expands when we get more students. It's all by the work of magic) and then I went to the hair salon. (we got malls, cafes, salons, game shops, and everything. You name it, they have it) I walked in and saw Maria and waved cheerfully at her. She usually makes me smile. She's really funny too and I usually ask her for advice. She knows my vampire secret and she's been my best friend for four years so far.

"Haircut Mr. Sharpteeth?" she joked and I smiled.

"Yes please. A nice trim will do and please dye my hair....dark brown," I said and Maria nodded. I sat on the squashy seat and she got to work. I must have drifted off because she started shaking me to wake up and laughing. I yawned and she took the opportunity to pop in a watermelon flavored lollipop in my mouth. I nearly choked on it and I bit in all in one crunch.

"Jeez, you need to learn how to savor the taste instead of just eating it in one bite," Maria sighed and I looked at the mirror. Wow. I looked different. The ends of my hair were jagged and my hair was also a nice dark brown.

"Your hands are like magic," I said to Maria and hugged her. Longer than usual. Maria sensed that something had happened earlier and she slipped me a box of my favorite mint, Minty Binty.

"Don't worry, it'll turn out fine," she said and I sighed. I took out two mints and gave it to Maria and left. I started to munch on the mints rather than letting it melt in my mouth. I was too worried about Jessica. As soon as I was walking in the hallway, Jessica appeared out of nowhere. Her neck had a band-aid on it and I looked away.

"Kaname?" She asked in amazement. I continued walking and she caught up to me.

"You look different. Nice actually," she complimented but I didn't say anything. She grabbed my arm and made me turn around.

"Listen Kaname. I know what you are and your clan and all that history. Will told me. What happened earlier was ok. You didn't drink a lot of my blood anyway," she said and I stared at her for a while.

"Oh," I said and blinked.

"Listen, I can help you," she said and I forced a smile.

"Thanks but no thanks," I said tonelessly and shook her hand off. I walked towards Herbs and Potions Class and heard Jessica catching up to me. I entered the room and thankfully, no one knew what happened earlier. But they did point at my hair and some girls started coming to me. As usual.

"Hey Kaname, you know about the ball on Saturday night? Will you want to go with me to the dance?" A blonde girl asked shyly and I saw Jessica watch us with an interested look.

"No sorry I'm busy," I said and the girl burst out crying, seriously. These girls are too fragile.

"Hey. Can I go with you?" Jessica asked suddenly. A lot of girls held their breath and I tried to suppress a bored look. I hate these... dances. I attended it last year and found it horrible. So I left in the middle of the dance because Daniel kept on telling some girls to go ask me to dance with them. I never danced with any of them. Wasn't interested.

"No, I'm busy," I snapped and Jessica backed away with a slightly amused expression.

"It was a joke ok?" She said trying hard to laugh and I furiously slammed my hand on the table. I leaned into her and she froze.

"Don't even think I can joke around right now little girl," I hissed angrily and stormed out of the room, leaving a bewildered Jessica behind.

Chapter 11

"I had never ever wanted to see someone like that. Especially Kaname whom I started to grow feelings for." - Jessica
************************************************************
*Jessica's POV*

It had been two days since Kaname ever talked to me. He is definitely avoiding me. I felt kind of lonely without him. I didn't like seeing people like there in pain and then they avoid the people not to talk to them. I had never ever wanted to see someone like that. Especially, Kaname whom I started to grow feelings for. I told Daniel about it and he looked furious. He had cornered Kaname earlier today and punched him in the face. Kaname looked blank and continued walking forward as if nothing happened. Daniel called him a stupid asshole and then started to pull Kaname's hair to stop him from walking away. Kaname simply turned around and he looked furious. I just stood there, like an idiot, and watched Kaname looking at Daniel for a long time and then a few moments later, six pillars had cracked. It was Kaname. I had found out recently, vampire leaders of a clan could have every single vampire power which I thought was cool but they have to control the strength of it. Daniel later walked away and Kaname furiously turned around and walked away, disintegrating five pillars he didn't crack into dust. The Shadow Guardians had to repair it and everyone was leaving Kaname alone.

I walked across the field, and touched my neck. The fang bites were healing up nicely but I could feel the marks. I shuddered at the memory. I had felt so hopeless and scared.

"Hey Jessica!" Daniel yelled and caught up to me. I turned around and Daniel was looking terrible.

"Hunter.....he somehow escaped," he said and my eyes widened.

"But... he was right at the window!" I spluttered and Daniel shook his head.

"He left once I spotted him and I sent the school dogs to chase him down. They couldn't catch him," he said and I shuddered.

"I made a special request and the school has now extra barriers, so no worries little sister," Daniel said ruffling my hair and I smiled at him. He hugged me and left. He's such a sweet brother. I hummed to myself happily and entered the hallway towards my fifth class. I passed by the stairs and heard someone in pain.

"Eh?" I said stupidly and looked over the rails. I saw a figure lying on the ground, agonizing in pain, and with a jolt I realized it was Kaname. I rushed down the stairs, nearly tripping over my feet, and rushed towards Kaname.

"Kaname! Wake up!" I yelled even though he was awake. I felt stupid just watching him twitch in pain, so I held on to his hand tightly. I couldn't go to the main head office because they can't risk helping a vampire because I knew that there were only a few Blue Phoenix Clan members attending this school and they really hated the vampires even though the other clans didn't mind. Luckily, the main head office doesn't have any Blue Phoenix members so it was pretty ok to them.

"I'll get the secretary," I said and was about to leave when Kaname grabbed my ankle. I looked at him with surprise and he managed to whisper, "Packet... in my left pocket... my medication." I kneel down once more and saw his eyes slowly turning bright red.

"He's trying to fight it," I thought and I hesitantly reached my hand into his pocket. I took out a tiny square packet, and opened it. I carefully poured it in Kaname's mouth and he's breathing started slowing down. A few minutes later, he seemed back to normal and his eyes were now losing the blood lust. He shakily stood up and leaned against the wall and I sniffed the packet. Eww. Smells so nasty! Like....oh I don't know, rotten eggs, old gym socks, sweaty clothes that had been left for a week, rotten fish all mixed together. Yuck. I suddenly heard the railing making a weird sound and I spun around, they all crumbled. One of the metal pieces accidentally sliced my pinkie and blood started coming out. I looked quickly at Kaname and I suddenly knew the reason why he destroyed the railing. He is trying to take his temper out on destroying things, so that he wouldn't think about blood. I stared at my pinkie and hesitantly walked towards him.

"Kaname...here...take the blood," I said holding out my pinkie. He shook his head violently and made a weak attempt to push me away. He fell to the ground and I kneel down beside him.

"Kaname, I know what's happening to you. Please, drink it," I said quietly and he still shook his head. I sighed. I went over to the metal pieces, carefully selected a nice sharp one, and brought it down on my palm. I made a deep and long cut and blood were pouring out fast. I turned towards Kaname and sat next to him, and leaned in. I brought my palm up and it touched his mouth. His eyes flicked over to me and I nodded encouragingly and without hesitating, he started to lick it (which I thought was weird) and then bit into my cut. I winced with pain and tears came into my eyes but I didn't pull away. I just simply smoothed his front hair back for him to drink the blood without it smearing into his hair and before I knew it, he was done.

"I feel so disgusted at myself," He said after pulling away. I stared at my palm and watched some more blood slowly oozing out.

"Why?" I asked and he wiped his mouth, smearing blood across his face in the process.

"Because I'm sucking my friend's blood and it's disgusting. I know you and yet, you let me drink your blood," Kaname said and I faintly smiled at him. I wiped the blood off his face and he stood up, and helped me up. He reached for my hand and put his hand over mine. My heart skipped a beat and I was pretty sure he was going to do something romantic like, oh I don't know, kiss my hand or my cheek or something. A girl can dream right? He's eyes just simply looked at my palm for a second and soon it glowed green and when I examined it, there was not a single trace of the cut. Cool yet freaky.

"I'm going to tell the principle to send me to the Vampire Classes. I can't be around you humans anymore," Kaname said walking up the stairs. I caught up to him and pulled his sleeve. He paused and looked at me with those stunning beautiful green eyes.

"Are you serious? Is it at nighttime?" I asked with my eyes wide and he raised an eyebrow, something I can't even do.

"Why in the bloody fang do you think it's in nighttime? You do know that we can go out in the day time right?" He asked, sounding a bit disgusted.

"Well duh," I sighed and Kaname shook my hand off.

"It's during the day. We got to the underground building," he said and I gasped.

"No way!" I screeched and he clamped a hand over my mouth.

"Quiet," he muttered and I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. It was Will.

"Get you stinking disgusting hands off Jessica. Now," Will said menacingly and his brown eyes had bits of red in it.

"Ooh, how scary," Kaname said sarcastically and removed his hand off my mouth.

"Well Jessica, there is an underground building. Only able to be accessed by the head office and vampires. Special pass," Kaname said and leaned in a bit. I blinked twice and Kaname was staring at me. Will noticed and swiftly stepped between me and Kaname.

"Why are you staring at her like that? Need blood you disgusting vile mangy flea-bitten dog? Then where's your medication you stupid piece of shit?" Will said angrily and Kaname leaned back.

"The reason why," Kaname said in a dangerously calm voice. I didn't like what was coming.

"I leaned in is because Jessica has some blood splatters from earlier on her hair," Kaname sneered and Will turned to look at me.

"So what, you drank her blood earlier? And you were going to lick it off her hair now?" Will hissed and Kaname just walked up the stairs. He looked at Will for a second and continued up the stairs and there was a loud crash. The windows shattered and the walls cracked and one of the walls had a huge hole. Dang Kaname's freaking strong with his powers.

"Why you -" Will said but Kaname cut him off.

"Next time, I'll make sure, I'll disintegrate you like what I did to that traitor vampire last time," Kaname said dangerously and Will spat at the ground. Suddenly Kaname flew to the side and his back hit the wall hard. Someone was holding him by the throat.

"Hell no you're not doing that to Will," the person said and Kaname smirked. I focused and then stepped back with horror. It was Daniel. And he had seen everything. Shit.
