Mochi Ai is the sweetest, cutest, most kawaii person you could ever know. Returning to her stepmom and dad back in USA from the Harajuku district of Japan, she meets the alpha of her new school, a wolf-and-dragon hybrid named Drake. Poetic, huh? As the two get to know each other, however, Drake realizes Mochi has some nasty skeletons in the closet. What is she? Who is she?
Drake's eyes shot bloodshed open as he dared to believe what he had just done. Mochi froze dead in her tracks. Thea and Anais's faces had an expression so scared and pained that it can't be described. And Gavin... he saw the event unfold in front of him, startled, and ran away like a coward. Drake's face turned to his hand: The knife he was holding had plunged deeply into Mochi's hip, black blood blossoming all over her clothes and his hand. Drake felt tears of regret and fear drip down his face: He had stabbed Mochi. His mind replayed it over and over, each time feeling more unreal, yet true at the same time. Suddenly, Mochi's hand slowly slid up to the hand that was still clutching the knife... and wrapped her fingers around his blood-blackened hand. Drake startled: Her touch was warm. And the blood... was no longer searing his skin? Drake looked down: Mochi's blood was now a normal color, her skin becoming it's normal pale skin and hair black. The transformation continued, until Mochi looked like her normal self again, except her black outfit. Suddenly, she fell to the ground, taking Drake with her.
"Call 911!!!" Drake screamed at Anais, who already had her phone out. He looked down at Mochi, who laid still on the ground, her head resting on his knees. Every remaining student ran off to find a teacher, except Thea and Anais, of course. "Mochi... I-I'm so s-sorry..." Drake sobbed. Not many things made Drake cry. Mochi in pain or a tormented state of mind was one of those things that could. He had failed to protect her. HE was the villain. Mochi lifted her head to look at her distressed boyfriend. "D-don't be, Drakey..." she said. "Y-you did the r-right thing... Now all y-you have to do is bring me to the hospital before I-I bleed out..." she whispered. Drake felt Mochi's left arm lift up and her hand touched his face. "Babe, the ambulance is on their way. Just stay awake. Look into my eyes, and stay awake..." he begged. Mochi lifted her head and kissed Drake on the chin as a small stream of blood started trickling out of her mouth. "I love you, Drakey..." She turned towards Anais and Thea, who'd rushed by her side when they heard the sirens outside. "I love you too, girls... you're the sisters I never had..." And with those words, she closed her eyes and her breathing stopped.
