Hey Guys! I'm back with another story!
Im probably not gonna include anythign that happens from the actual anime, just because i am introducing a new character that isn't in the actual anime/manga
I dont own the anime/manga so yeahh
I watched as it burned. It all burned. The bricks fell as the cement melted. The wooden porch in the back garden lit up like a bonfire. You could hear the screams of the people inside, desperately hoping that their lives will be spared by the flames.
I started to laugh. I was a maniac. I held a bottle of petrol in one hand, my face hidden by my hair as I laughed manically. I was crazy. I set this fire, and thought it was funny. This was the best thing in my life.
I awoke with a scream. "AGGGHHH!" Sweat pouring down my forehead, and drenching my bed shirt.
My maid ran into my room, "M'lady? Are you okay?" she asked, concern roughly scratched across her face.
"I'm fine Holly. Just a nightmare"
"Was it the one about the fire?"
"Yes"
"M'lady, if I may, have you thought about going to see someone?"
"I have Holly, and I don't think I want to, not yet"
"Very well M'lady. But just so that you know, the death of the master and mistress was not your fault. You were at school when it happened. No one blames you"
"I know Holly, thank you. But I can't help but think that if I had been home that da, I could've stopped it"
"That may be true, but what if you couldn't have stopped it? Then you would've perished in the fire as well, and your family line would've ended"
"You're right Holly, thank you"
"You're welcome M'lady" She said, smiling down at me. She turned to walk away, before she turned back and said, "By the way M'lady, don't go back to sleep, you have to be up now, breakfast is ready, and you have your tour around Ouran Academy today. Your uncle is expecting at precisely 10 am today"
"Yes Holly" Holly turned around and left. I threw the covers off, and swung my legs around the side of my bed. I sighed to myself. I hadn't quite gotten over my dream. The dark shadow of my nightmare loomed over me.
*explanation time*
I should probably explain. 6 months ago, before I started high school, my parents and younger brother passed away. The gas on the fire had apparently been left on, and the fire started when my father lit one of his cigars. Our home burnt down. My family inside. All whilst I was at school.
Due to that, I went to live with my last relative, my uncle. My uncle was not only rich, but he was famous. My whole family was famous. But my parents passed their inheritance to my uncle, although the rest of our fortune goes to me when I turn 18.
Today, is my tour around my new school that I will be attending soon. I'm only going there because my Uncle is the headmaster. But he suggested a fresh start for me, after everything that had happened. And, I agreed.
*end of explanation*
I got up and picked out my purple tartan skirt, a black vest top, my purple knee high converse, and my scarf and black and red stripy gloves. I ran through my room looking for my phone when it was on my desk all along. I grabbed my beanie with cat ears, and my headphones and walked out my room.
I ran down the stairs and into the dining room, greeting all the staff that worked at my uncle's mansion. I picked up a slice of toast and headed towards the door. "Madame Raven?" I swivelled around to see my butler Johnathon standing behind me, "Will you be needing your coat today?"
"Um, probably not John, but thanks anyway" I raced out the door, and into black car that waited outside for me. I climbed into the car, just as I heard John sigh, "Actually madam, the name is Johnathon" I giggled as we drove away.
I loved music. Music was my getaway from everything that had happened. I could use it to escape to another world. It was my life. I couldn't imagine my life without music. I slipped my headphones on over my hat, so that it covered my ears. I played my tunes through my headphones, just enough so that I didn't have to hear the noise that my bodyguard and driver we creating. I looked out the window as the world drove past us. I watched in awe, as the beautiful sights that my eyes were met with slipped past in a blur.
20 minutes later and we started to slow down. I noticed that we were pulling up to the notorious school known as Ouran Academy. 'So this is where I am going to spend the next couple of years studying' I thought.
The car came to a stop just outside the doors of the great school. My chauffer climbed out of the driver's seat, and wandered around to my car door. He opened the door, signalling for me to exit the vehicle. I climbed out with little effort, and slipped my headphones around my neck, my music still playing, just loudly enough so that I could still hear what was playing.
As I climbed out of the car, I was greeted by my uncle, "Raven! Darling! You sure took your time didn't you" He waltzed down the stairs of the school towards me. "It's only Half past nine. I'm half an hour early?" I told him, confused at why he thought I was late.
"Yes well, never mind. How was the journey?"
"It was okay I guess"
"Good. Let's get started then shall we? No doubt you cannot wait to see the rest of this wonderful establishment?"
"Uh, yeah sure, let's go with that" I said, unsure if I still actually wanted to be here.
I climbed up the stairs of the school and joined my uncle as we entered the great halls, followed by my bodyguard. Little did I notice the shadowy figures stood in one of the classroom windows to my right. I was too concerned with trying to avoid being hugged by my uncle who did nothing but feel sorry for me, he was also always really cheery…all the damn time.
