Temptations and Cravings (Haunted House//Open)

[Mattaru Ichinose]

Cross Academy was very lucky to be having an event for the Holidays. It seemed that it would change of the pace of events on campus. After all, it ended up being quite boring to go day in and day out with the same exact schedule. Mattaru Ichinose disagreed with how boring life could often be at the school, so he was always doing something different every single day. Sometimes these activities included skipping class. Kaname had scolded him when he had first started at the school, but over time he seemed to have just given up because he had skipped every so often and didn’t cause too much trouble. It seemed that a lot of the Night Class students would get upset that he could get away with so much, but he honestly didn’t seem to mind.

He was bored and done with everything to do with the ball. The entire idea seemed too cliché and typical to him. Besides, there was always a ball with the different campus events so he decided that he’d check out the haunted house that was set up for the students to enjoy. He figured that he could hide around and scare random faces or even find someone interesting that he could flirt with. After all, he loved the attention.

It seemed a lot of his fans had gone to the dance. How uncool! Who needed fans that couldn’t quite keep up with his fast changes of pace!? Tch. It figured that people couldn’t keep up with him. Oh, well! He’d just have to find his own mixture of fun for the night. Maybe he could flirt with random people and get their blood types listed and noted in his mind. He loved to do that, but it seemed that it wasn’t tolerated if you got caught doing that. Of course, he didn’t drink their blood; but he very much wanted to try it. He knew he’d get in a lot of trouble if he did.

He strolled down to the woods to see the gigantic set up that was before him. It was dark, creepy, and had your stereotypical ghosts, vampires, and cobwebs. He made a face and stuck out his tongue playfully at a little Dracula statue that was in the entrance. How ridiculous! Was that really supposed to be scary? It wasn’t scary to him because of how fake and untrue it was. However, he did find it quite amusing, so he figured that he could play along with it. He wondered how many Night Class students would file complaints to the Headmaster for this insulting display and he found himself chuckling out loud.

He had only just entered the house when he smelled a familiar scent that he seemed to crave and he felt his crimson gaze flashing as he licked his lips. It seemed like someone had gotten hurt in the house and left with blood somewhere in there… Or there was someone in there that was hurting. He found it hard to control himself, so he found himself moving towards the scent. He didn’t care if someone would follow him or not. His instincts and curiosity seemed to get the best of him. He figured that he could help someone out and maybe would be able to have a small taste of their blood left on his hands from helping with their wound.

To a normal human, that would normally sound and look repulsive and disgusting. However, to a vampire who was still getting used to only eating blood tablets it seemed to be a normal reaction. He didn’t think he’d get that big of a penalty if he didn’t bite the student who was hurting. If he was helping someone out, then there was really no reason that he could be seen as the bad guy. Hence, his mind was made up to see what had happened and what exactly seemed to be going on.

[Saiyuri Hiou]

saiyuri caught scent of blood and found herself at the haunted house. She felt dizzy and very clumsy. She took little notice to the laughable and the silly un-realistic designs. She had to control her hunger. She felt surprised how tired she was. She didn’t think about her outfit from the ball. the peach colored ball gown fit perfectly. She went as Katrina van tassel. Her hair in smaller curls mimicking the movie Sleepy Hallow. She also did a pretty good job as looking the part. She was far prettier than her.

She quickly walked through the house the scent getting stronger. She fell into several walls trying not to mess up her curls. She blinked several times trying to get blood out of her mind. She tried to carry herself about as if she were fine. If she had fed sooner she may not have been in this state. Going without blood for a week and a half wasn’t a good sign. She sunk to the floor blinking as if lost.

Her vision became blurry and her mind flashed back to the first time she tasted blood. She was five then. She remembered him very much. He was the cutest boy at her school. Her parents felt she was safe going to school with humans. And they felt it would be healthy for her to learn with children her age. She quickly became friends with that cute boy. She mainly remembered his hazel eyes and his light brown hair. He always looked so friendly so she enjoyed playing with him. When a few of the kids at school played tag he was the one who fell. His blood made her heart beat faster and faster! She could remember his blood type. It was so rare and so delicious. AB positive. She licked her lips as if she could taste it once more. She felt sorry for that boy. She longed to know if he was still alive or if he killed himself yet. He had to be dead, her parents couldn’t give him pure blood since it was her that killed them with her own two hands. She wanted to see him again. See if he still had that twinkle in his eyes, was it possible for her to be in love with a boy she watched from afar after that day?

She began to run crashing into something. She frowned looking up noticing a boy with fire like hair and red eyes. He was kind of cute. She quickly jumped to her feet dusting herself off and keeping eye contact with him. This strange boy just stood there.

“I’m sorry” she replied growing silent taking out her phone. She sighed turning her back to him reading work related text messages. she quickly finished giving him a curtsy and a prize winning smile keeping the scent fresh in her mind.

[Ayano Takahashi]

It had all started with a dare. Ayano didn't want to go anywhere near the haunted house, even if it was all fake, but it was a dare and a guilt trip all in one that had forced her to even so much as consider it. She had been given two choices, go to the dance or have a walk through the haunted house. Most of the school was attending the dance so her natural choice was the lesser of two evils, the haunted house. There was just one down side, she had to bring something back to prove she had gone in the first place.

Lost in her thoughts, Ayano made her way to the little set up in the middle of the woods. Glancing up at the sky, she noted that the sun hadn't quite set yet so the dance hadn't started yet. Maybe if she was lucky she could just go in the house real quick and get out of there fast. As she drew close enough for her to see the silhouette of the house, her hands started trembling from fear and she hadn't even gone inside yet. Terror and sheer panic started to set in as she continued walking on. Every fiber of her being was screaming to get out of there but she still carried on with the thought of taking a step inside and then running out of there as quickly as possible. Lost in her thoughts, she walked on only to pause when the shocking reality of her situation snapped her back to reality.

She was in front of the door. The door to a place of nightmares. Well...nightmares for her at least.

Slowly, she opened the door, listening to it creak eerily as she did so. Looking into the house, she shivered slightly at the cold darkness that awaited her within. She took a quick look at the sky and saw that the sun was dangerously low and in a moment its light would fade from view for the rest of the night. Swallowing her fear, she took a step inside only to be greeted by the musty smell of dust and decay. Just the thought alone was enough to make her want to hurry up and get out of there. It was also the very thing that made her start running.

She didn't want to be here in this place. It was just somewhere she wasn't supposed to be. Running through the house with those distracting thoughts in her mind were not a good thing especially when almost anything could go wrong. The only thing that made her realize what was going on and that her sense of panic had just skyrocketed, was her grasp of balance slipping as she tripped on the electrical cord to one of the strobe lights. Her first reaction was to put her hands out to stop the fall but in the end it wasn't enough. She still hit the wooden floor with full force and she still got hurt.

Slowly and shakily, she pushed herself of the floor and tried standing up, a stinging sensation shooting through her knees and her hands from the impact. She had just been about to brush herself off when the fact her palms felt slightly wet came to her attention and a cold sweat started to bead on her forehead. 'Please don't let it be blood....' she thought before turning her palms upward so she could look at them. Curiosity killed the cat and in this case the fact she looked down at her hands also made her glance at her scraped knees. The sight of the crimson stain on her hands was enough to make her feel lightheaded and her vision to go black as she collapsed on the floor of the haunted house, soon to noticed by the Night Class students that visited shortly after she fainted.
