 Hana and the vampire prince

This is the story of Hana the orphan. Hana’s parents were strong supporters or vampires even when everyone else was against them but they were ironically killed by vampires, Level E vampires. They had kept Hana a secret due to the dangerousness of their ideals among other humans, they didn’t want Hana to be treated poorly should anything happen to them. But being kept secret didn’t mean she was always alone; in fact she spent most of her time playing with VAMPIRE children. She herself was fully aware why she couldn’t play with other humans or go out in public during the busy hours of the day, so when her parents were gone she figured it would be best to accept the invitation of the pureblood vampires who had befriended her parents. Well that was the plan her mother had come up with “if anything ever happens to us go to the purebloods they’ll protect you and even raise you; it is up to you whether you become a vampire or stay a human. Tell them which and they’ll make sure you are what you want to be” she said but during the attack of the Level E’s while evading them, she hit her head and lost her memories. She ended up wandering around town in a daze and passed out. when she woke up she was in the hospital and everyone was asking her what happened and where her parents are she could honestly say she couldn’t remember they asked around town and everywhere but no one had reported a missing child; they concluded that she was a wandering orphan and of course sent her to the nearest orphanage, but it would be hard for her to be adopted since no one knows where she came from, but she didn’t hang around waiting to be adopted she got bored of the orphanage and didn’t care if she got adopted so she escaped, found an abandoned house, and did a little cheap renovation. In fact the only reason any of them knew her name was because it was written on the tag of her shirt and a fake last name also.

Hana is now sixteen years old. she has been working her way through school well was because since her teacher made her take an IQ test and it was clarified that she was a super genius, she had long since gotten bored of middle school and tested out of it along with high school but she knew a college degree was a necessity so she decided to go to college with a full scholarship so she wouldn’t be stuck at a community college and she has finally finished since she was a super genius and college was easier for her than most others she had managed to get it done in half the time and decided to go for two majors in music and art since she has always been pretty creative, and she has a minor in writing. so now that she is done with all levels of school she got a part-time job so she could hang out with her friends after they get out of school; however, she couldn’t help but notice that she is extremely different from her friends, sometimes it was even like they belonged in two different worlds but that’s not the most of it. Lately she has been having visions and strange dreams along with flashbacks, but they are all shattered memories like a puzzle that needs to be put together to see what it is. She has had flashes of fangs and flowing red, full moons, starry nights and bodies dead on the floor. Constant headaches begin to haunt her and memories plague her without explanation questions surround her every thought “who are those dead people” “why am I seeing blood” and the most frequent and oldest of the questions that has been plaguing her since she was a child in the orphanage “why can’t I remember everything and what happened to my parents”

The knowledge of vampires has been abundant for a long time and a few rules were posted a long time ago. These were the rules:

1. 1.      no going out after dark
2. 2.      if you do go out after dark you must not be alone and must have garlic of some kind; even though the garlic does very little to prevent an attack
3. 3.       and last of all keep your house well lit at night at least at all your doors and windows

Hana like everyone else had heard these rules and was warned about the vampires only unlike everyone else she paid no attention to the rules. She loved the night and the peace and quiet that came with it. She also preferred to be alone; having another person with her would ruin her peace and quiet. She also wasn’t afraid so she felt no need for the garlic which she wasn’t even positive worked and she also believed there was nothing to lose with her life since she still can’t remember her past and her parents. She also found extremely bright fluorescent or artificial light to be extremely annoying so her house was almost always dark besides some candles which are only lit at night since she thinks the sun is the only light you need during the day. Also she does some of her best thinking alone in the moonlight so she goes on a walk almost every night and usually never has any problems with any vampires amazingly. But how long can a girl go wandering empty streets at night in a town full of vampires without meeting any?

It is a beautiful night, it’s warm and clear and you can almost see every star in the sky as soon as you get out of the residential district full of scared morons with their lights blaring into the night. So, Hana decided it would be the perfect night to go for a walk. She walked out of her neighborhood and straight down main street stars as the only light since the stores had long since started closing BEFORE dark. She turned on several streets, she turned left then right then right again then left again, she had been in that town so long she had great confidence in her sense of direction and would not get lost, but then suddenly a chill ran down her spine and a gust of wind went past, she saw bats flying left and right all of them looking hungry. She wasn’t afraid but she wasn’t going to just stand there and neither was she about to be stupid and run from people ten times faster and stronger then her so she ducked in a nearby ally. But unfortunately she wasn’t alone in that ally before she knew it she was grabbed from behind and she could feel the breath of someone behind her on her neck the grip tightened as she could feel his fangs closing in on their target, they touched but didn’t pierce, there was a pause and while the grip stayed the fangs went back slightly, so the boy could ask “where’s the terrified scream” he said with a grin “aren’t you going to scream for help like everyone else does?” Hana just took a deep breath “why spend my last seconds screaming its not like it would help you’d have bitten me and be finished with me by the time anyone showed up anyway.” She finally said then she managed to pry one arm free and lightly touched his ear “besides” she continued “I’m sure you hear enough screaming already, it must hurt your ears.” The vampire boy was quite stunned she was the first human to ever do or say anything to any vampire like that. Without knowing it his grip on her loosened and she got out of his grip he was still expecting her to run and was ready for pursuit but when he looked towards the exit to the ally there she was. She could have started running no one was blocking her but she didn’t move. She stood there facing him. “What’s your name” she finally said and he told her. His name was Yuki, she stared at him for a little bit, as if examining him, he was average height with pale skin and silver hair his eyes were charcoal black however she could have sworn they were red a minute ago and they were. While she stared at him, he stared back examining HER. She had soft golden blond hair that framed her beautiful pale face, though not as pale as Yuki’s, she had deep dark azure eyes and glossy pink lips. “What’s your name?” he asked but she didn’t answer at first “what’s your name? It’s not fair to get someone else’s name without presenting your own.” He argued and he was ready to force her to tell him her name then she just calmly smiled and introduced herself “My name is Hana Morishita nice to meet you” he smiled back revealing his fangs then closed his mouth for once he didn’t want a human to see his fangs. She giggled all of a sudden stopped and had this kind of inquisitive look on her face “so you aren’t going to bite me?” she asked and he responded “nah I’m not that hungry tonight anyway” but no sooner did he say that then his stomach started growling his cheeks turned slightly red, he told her to be careful going home and then he flew off and she headed back home as she got home, the sun was already starting to rise. She had been standing in that ally way talking to him for hours even though few words were said, so she picked up her cell, called in sick to work and went to bed. “What a night” she thought thinking back on all that had transpired that night.

The vampires layer looks like an ordinary house because of a hologram but is really an abandoned house and a huge one at that, with blackout curtains at every window so they are free to roam the house during the day if they want and meanwhile that is just what two of them are doing since Yuki’s growling stomach is keeping them up “If you’re so hungry, you should’ve had dinner, there’s plenty of FOOD in this town.” Haru said, then Yuki started stammering slightly “uh w-well you see I-I uh did go after one person” he said. Haru looked confused “what do you mean, I mean it’s not like they could have out ran you” he said then Yuki felt he had no choice but to tell his best and most trusted friend everything that happened since Haru knew how to keep a secret unlike some of the other vampires who like to gossip and spread rumors. And YES there are vampires who gossip too it is not just humans who do that. Well as Yuki finished telling his story Haru’s mouth stay open in awe but in awe of what? “That is a load of bull shit” he started “there is no way a human like that exists. Maybe it was just a trick to get you to let her go…” Haru was ready to go on but Yuki cut him off there “there is no way that was a trick and if it was then she’s a damn good actress! I am no fool and I would have known if she was being fake!” he began to yell but Haru being the good friend that he is covered his mouth so no one else would hear “don’t talk so loud, you’ll get in trouble if the others find out you let a human escape” he whispered but then he got an idea “if you’re so sure she didn’t trick you” he started “then why don’t we find out. You find her tomorrow night and point her out to me, I’ll confront her and I’ll be the judge as to whether she is acting or not” he plotted and they agreed.

it is ten o’ clock at night and the two boys are currently looking around town for Hana then Yuki thinks “what if she decided not to out at night anymore since she bumped into a vampire” then he got depressed “that would mean she really was just trying to get away” but just as that thought was crossing his mind he saw her. She was wandering around right down Main Street again, so he signaled Haru the plan was just for Haru to approach him and Yuki to quiet his stomach and grab a snack but he wanted to see what happened with his own eyes so he stayed low and watched.

Haru started the way Yuki had the night before attempting to bight her although he wasn’t positive he was going to go through with it, it depended on whether Yuki was right or he was. as soon as his fangs were an inch from her neck he noticed silence and started with the same question Yuki had the night before “why aren’t you screaming” she smiled “you know you’re the SECOND vampire to ask me that” she said “well what did you say to the last guy” Haru asked her and she told him “I told him the truth, the same thing I’m about to tell you. There would be no use in screaming, few would hear none would help and even if someone wanted to help they wouldn’t be able to make it in time.” he smiled thinking that Yuki was right either she is an extremely badass actress or she is really uniquely incredible. “why are you out at night” he asked her and told him if he’d let her go she’d tell him which her did because he knew if she’d tried to run away he could catch her. “Follow me” she said as she made her way to a fire escape and climbed to the roof while he just flew up there “why are we here” he asked. She smiled “you wanted to know why I’m out at night right?” he nodded and she told him “that’s why” she said pointing to the moon “it’s so beautiful. You can only see it at night you know. It’s always there but outshined by the sun. I guess I feel the same outshined and unnoticed. I guess vampires are like the stars. unlike the moon they aren’t out at day they only come out at night with the moon.” she ended it smiling then continued “but it’s not only the beauty of the moon because I could stare at it from home. The lights from the other houses are just too bright and there is never peace near my house at night because of the whimpering from fear of vampires. I guess I just fell in love with the peace” “so you’re not afraid of vampires at all?” he asked she looked at him “do you want me to be” then she did a REALLY bad impersonation of someone afraid of vampires and in a whisper “oh no a vampire someone save me” she said laughing then the mood became serious “am I afraid” she asked herself and looked back at Haru again “if I had to give an answer I guess I would have to say ‘yes’” Haru was shocked “the truth is I am afraid I’m just not going to run from them but I’m content with how things are, whether I die tonight or not I’m not going to die cowering like everyone else.” Haru let her go the same as Yuki the night before him “you were right” was the first thing he told Yuki when they were back home and Yuki smiled because honestly he had been worried that it had been a trick and was extremely relieved that it wasn’t but now they had to hurry because neither of them had eaten anything and the sun was on it’s way. They decided instead of hunting people down they decided animals would have to do even though they aren’t half as filling it will hold them till tomorrow night.

They went home and just in time too, Yuki’s mom was freaking out since there was no sign of his father and dawn was just minutes away too. “Yuki have you seen your father” she asked “he should be home by now” “Wait! This is bad, didn’t he say he was going to go spy on the government to see what their next plan of attack on the vampires was!” Yuki reasoned. They wanted to go look for him but the sun was rising and there wasn’t enough time. The wait was unbearable as they awaited the sun to go down so they could go and look for him. oh yeah uh there is something I forgot to mention Yuki and Masaru, his dad, and Hikaru, his mom, are the only purebloods around and are pretty much in charge like royalty in other words Yuki is a vampire prince, therefore the loss of one of the only three purebloods is a panic to all the vampires. the sun came and went all the same despite the restlessness of everyone, but almost immediately as the sun went down when they were about to go look for him he walked right in and with a few injuries which were bandaged in a human way “where on earth have you been?!!” they all yelled so he told them “this could take a while, everyone go get a quick bite then come back and then I’ll tell you.” so everyone did as he said and got something to eat then came back. Yuki and Haru looked for Hana but couldn’t find her this time so they headed back also and Yuki’s dad began to tell everyone “You all should know already why I was out all day. I did my job and I found out what they got. Getting in was the easy part getting out was completely different. They’ve developed new weapons, weapons that can take away our power” everyone was silent “they haven’t decided when to attack and don’t even know where we are thank goodness. So after I found all this out I, of course, tried to get the hell out of there, but like I said it didn’t go quite as I planned. inside that place was like a maze I got caught” everyone gasped “I got shot while trying to escape, my powers may have been gone but that didn’t mean I couldn’t run at all I was just slower I was running down the hall when all of a sudden I heard voices coming from around the corner. I was sure I was caught but then a random girl came out of nowhere. She pulled me by the arm through all the hallways and before I knew it we were outside but my powers still hadn’t returned and the sun was moments away she led me to an abandoned storage house and bandaged me up. I was hungry as hell at that moment but she saved my life so I at least left hers alone. She assured me that the weapon wasn’t perfected yet and the effects would wear off. She showed me all the best hiding spots in case people came looking for me there and she left. she came back just after sunset to let me out and my powers have come back just as she had said.” his story was finished and questions surrounded him mostly about the girl “what did she look like?” “Who was she?” “Did she work for the government?” “How old was she?” “What was her name?” he just held up his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet as he answered their questions “no she does not work for the government. she was beautiful and I guess she is about sixteen or seventeen and her first name was Hana I never got her last name and damn she looked familiar” Yuki and Haru both looked at each other both thinking “WHAT THE HELL?!!” then Yuki’s mom spoke up with a look of awe in her face “you said she was beautiful but you didn’t give us any specifics… b-by any chance did she have blond hair and blue eyes” Haru, Yuki, and Masaru all looked at her. “Hana Morishita! Where is she now” Hikaru exclaimed Masaru looked puzzled but Yuki spoke up “Haru and I might know” he said in a quiet voice everyone looked at the two of them now “how do you know her?” Haru asked Hikaru chuckled “we all know her, mostly because of her parents but we all know her. the question is does she know us?” everyone looked puzzled and that’s when the truth came out about Hana AND her parents along with the attack and what was supposed to happen to her when her parents were gone so the only reason for her to not be with them now was of course amnesia. “WAIT so the Hana I met the other night was the same Hana that I knew ten years ago!” he was shocked “so where is she” Hikaru asked. Yuki and Haru led them down Main Street “two nights in a row we’ve seen her down here” they kept looking and they never saw her than all of a sudden Haru made an observance he saw an extremely bright neighborhood with one dark house “that’s it” he yelled and everyone turned attention to it and headed that way “damn how do people sleep with it this bright” Haru said to which he heard a reply “it’s pretty dang hard, I’ll tell you that! I had to by black curtains just so I can get any shuteye around here” they looked up and on the balcony of the dark house was Hana “you brought friends?” she said with a smile and she jumped from the balcony onto the ground. “nice to meet you” Hana said with a smile Hikaru wasn’t that surprised and already knew the answer but asked anyway “you don’t recognize any of us?” and the anticipated answer was “no should i?” but the exact answer was a bit more precise “no I don’t, I’m sorry if I’ve met you before but I don’t remember anything before my sixth birthday, I’m sorry” she had a really sad look on her face as she spoke under her breath “but I really want to remember and have wanted to since I was a little kid.” and that made hikaru happy because that means she will be open to plans to recover her memories. Hikaru smiled “would you like us to try and help you remember” and that sparked Hana’s spirit
