I don't own any characters from Diabolik Lovers and I do have my own OC.
Chapter 1
I stood waiting patiently for a taxi as people flooded the airport entrance/exited.
I looked up at the digital clock on the screen and sighed within.
I was already supposed to be at my new house or home by now, but today was one of those days where everything just goes wrong. Just to get to the plane was a huge problem, lost the ticket, my new bag broke open as I was walking to the taxi – although I didn't have much in it – and almost didn't make it to the airport on time (Thank you traffic).
And now this, I couldn't seem to get a taxi and even after phoning for one, none pitched up. I really wished I took Karlheinz offer and took his private plane and car to the house, but I didn't want to be rude and intrusive of a man that basically saved my life from living on the streets until I died from starvation...again. Even though I did kind of save his life, he didn't have to go to all of this trouble to pay me back. He could have just given me enough money to buy food and I would've been happy but instead, he did this.
I did take his money to get here in the first place, although I was coming up with a plan to pay him back for all he was doing for me - a complete stranger, which still strikes me as a odd thing to do since people now-a-days are so selfish, but maybe he really was a generous person that was really helping out a person in need...but what if? (No, no, no!) I shook my head, trying not to full my head with paranoid thoughts.
I was moving on, I wasn't the person I was in the past. I was completely new person from head to toes, or as I liked to think.
A taxi stopped and I knew it was my ride. I quickly grabbed my bag from the ground and headed to it.
An old man around fifty, balding on the top of his head that got out and helped me with my bag, although I didn't need it but I stilled thanked him and forced a smile. Getting in the car I sat patiently, but inside my head I was screaming at how late I was.
Karlheinz said he would be waiting to show me around the house so I would get to know where everything was, and said he would be waiting for me a good one hour ago.
(Midori, you really need to stop being so absented minded) I thought, grabbed my old notebook and jotted down a few notes on how to behave but they were more like reminders.
Living on the streets for three years I was pretty sure I had lost some manners, which not too long ago I use to pride myself on. I smiled to myself and jotted down a few more reminders as memories flashed though my head, although they were more bitter than sweet.
"Miss?" I heard the driver asked.
I looked up from my notes and forced another smile.
"Where to?" He asked making me realize that we are still at the airport.
(MIDORI!) I heard myself shout in my head. I did it again.
"Ah..." I searched through my bag and pulled out an envelope with the address in it. "Here, I think this is it." I said handing it over to him. He looked over it and his face paled. I titled my head to the side in question. "Is something the matter?"
He snapped his head in my direction and then shook his head. "No, no, nothing. Nothing's wrong." He forced a smile that turned to a grimace and put the car in drive.
I sat back and frowned and then turn my head to look out the window, watching as everything flew past.
Soon I'm seeing trees and a mansion appearing.
My trembling hand grasped the pendant around my neck, which a few days back I came across when I was wondering the streets, and uncomfortably shifted in my seat and pulled at my waist long white wavy hair and tied it back into a low ponytail.
(Okay, almost there.) I took in an uneven breath. Out of the corner of my silver eyes, I see the driver looking back at me from the rear view mirror.
"Are you going to be living here from now on Miss?" The driver asked and I forced my attention on him.
"Yip!" I said trying to sound cheerful but it comes out cracked and hoarse.
"Oh, okay..." He trailed.
I frowned again and tried for a second to read his mind and then mentally hit myself for my childish behavior.
(What if the place is haunted?) My paranoid side came out and suddenly thoughts are flying through my head and all I can do is grimace at them. (What if Karlheinz is secretly some guy that kidnaps vulnerable girls and then does what he wishes to them.)
I cringed as even more warped ideas popped in.
(You shouldn't have just gone with some guy that you didn't know, believing that he has good intentions. What wrong with you Midori, do you have a death wish?)
I questioned and then shrugged. I guess I kind of did have a death wish if I just went with a stranger, then again I didn't really fear death. After almost dying so many times, I guess it just got boring after awhile and anyway, I didn't really have anything to live for either.
"Um..." I heard the driver mumbled.
I sighed in annoyance. (He obviously wants to say something, why doesn't he just say it?)
Suddenly the car stopped at the entrance of the open gate and he stared at it like it's a monster he's looking at.
I decided to get out since the guy made no move to drive any further.
I went to the front window and held out the money to give to him, he takes it slowly looking at me, but as I'm about to withdraw my hand he grabs it and hold it firmly. "I highly suggest you don't go in there Miss." My hand tensed in his grasp at his fearful voice.
"What, why?" I asked feeling confused at his statement but at the same time expecting it.
"I've heard and seen many girls go in there." He said looking forward towards the mansion. "But Miss, I've never every seen any of them leave."
I raised a brow at him. "I don't understand." I said slightly trying to pull my hand from his grasp.
"Miss, I've heard that the women that live in there are never seen again. I think it's haunted, or something...but Miss I worry for you, you don't know what may be waiting for you in there."
I looked down at his trembling hand and frown. "Mister..." I said but before I can say anymore the man flinched and let goes of my hand. His eyes fixed on something ahead.
I turned to see just then something pasting one of the windows on the second floor. Karlheinz did say that there would be staff that looked after the place so it must have been one of them. I turned my head back at the guy about to say that to him when he puts the car into drive and speed off before I could say a word.
I looked back at the mansion and decide that since there's nowhere else I can go I better go forward. (How bad can it be...? I've dealt with worst things in my life. I can definitely deal with a house that might be haunted or whatever...)
I shook my head and instinctively my hand grasped the pendant. I set my gaze on the mansion before me and nodded my head at myself.
(I can do this...I can do this. What can be the worst that happens...?)
Well, I hope you liked the first chapter, got to know a bit about my character. The next chapter you will be meeting the boys with a bit of a surprise...also don't forget to leave a review...Bye bye for now...
