Dark Fairy Tale
By LisaAckerman
Chapter One
The night was quiet and the full moon shone brightly in the starless sky. The sound of footsteps crunching against twigs and leaves disturbed the peace. A shadowed figure emerged from the trees and the moon reflecting its light onto the figure, revealing a man. The man halted, the wind blowing his long hair as he gazed at the moon softly.
'I'm sorry...I'm sorry'
A soft voice whispered to her, slowly woke her up from her deep slumber.
'Forgive me...Sakura'
The voice slowly faded into her mind as she registered her surroundings. Her body shivered and it became unbearable to her. She groaned softly before she slowly opened her eyes.
"Snow..." she whispered to herself. Sakura blinked, fluttering her eyes from the snow that fell on her eyelashes and face. Her mind was foggy, yet somewhere in that fog, she can saw something. A memory of someone, a woman face.
Sakura slowly pushed herself up, every inch of her being ached lightly. She had no idea how long she had been laying there. She took a moment to survey the area. Snowy grounds and trees.
She's confused, just what was she doing here?
Sakura pulled herself to her feet. As she straightened, something slid from her shoulders and pooled around her. It's a beautiful kimono, color red with the beautiful golden pattern. Sakura reached down, her long hair fell over her shoulder. Her fingers trailed down the beautiful clothing, an image flashed inside her mind before turning her eyes upwards once more.
…
It has been one hour since Sakura walking around to find someone that can help her. Not to mention, she felt tired already with her body for being small and weak, She realized it a while before.
The kimono had been folded, neatly clutched at her chest with her small arms. Sakura still looking around while she rubbed her arm, breath puffed out of her mouth.
Her feet tripped and she fell forwards roughly. Vision blurred as tears threatened to fall from the corner of her eyes. Her hands clenched tightly.
"Ugh…" she whimpered softly.
The hairs on the back of her neck stand up immediately, Sakura freezes. She turned ever so slightly, looking around cautiously, eyes widen slightly. A rustle had Sakura jump up, almost screamed.
Slowly, she pulled herself up again. Her gaze had shifted toward where the sound had come from, ears straining to hear what she heard.
Her body fidgeting.
"Hello?" Sakura called out, her heart beats quickly.
Silence greeted her.
With a frown, Sakura turned and moved her feet gain, unaware of someone-or something-watching her with glowing eyes.
…
With a deep breath, Sakura walked forward the night did nothing to help her vision. Eyes narrowed, adjusting to the darkness around her and then, she saw something.
There was a small figure in the distance, step by step Sakura edged closer and the figure began to take a shape.
"Hello?" Sakura called out, again and the figure turned toward her.
It's a small girl.
With a relief, a smile breaking out on her face, "Thank goodness! There was someone here…" Sakura breathed softly.
Sakura stopped in front of the girl and asked, "Excuse me! Do you know where we are right now?"
The girl stared her, her big brown eyes blinked slowly. Sakura shifted closer, her mouth opened a bit but no sound came out.
Sakura's brow furrowed, "…what is your name?" she asked.
"Name…?" Sakura nodded.
"…Yuki"
Sakura smiled at her, "Yuki, my name is Sakura."
"Sakura…chan?"
Sakura noticed Yuki's eyes widened slightly, then the girl lunged at her, hugging her tightly.
"E-eh?" that startled Sakura.
"What are you doing, Yuki?" Sakura asked, her gloved hand touched the girl's shoulder. Yuki's arms were tight, squeezing her body. Her head buried in the clothes under her chin. Sakura noticed that the brown haired girl a little bit shorter than she did.
One of Sakura's hands squeezed between them, face frowning as it became a bit difficult to hold the red kimono with just one hand. Sakura was silent for a few moments, her other hand had been gliding through the girl's hair.
"Yuki-"
Sssshh-
Sakura blinked. What…was that?
Her hand which resting on Yuki's back curled slightly as she listened to the faint sound.
"Are you lost, little girls?"
The voice startled both of them. Sakura spun, eyes flashed up toward a shadowed figure. There was a scuffle of shoe and a man emerged from darkened trees, dressed in a trench coat. Glowing red eyes stared at them with hunger, mouth opened to reveal a pair of sharp teeth.
Sakura's eyes widened, Yuki's body trembled behind her.
"May I…drink your blood?"
Sakura took a step back. What's wrong with that man?
RUN!
Without a second thought, Sakura quickly grabbed Yuki's hand and ran away from that man. Her feet carried her as fast as it can, Yuki still trembling beside her. Panic settled deeper into her gut when the girl's body trembled even more. The wind blowing wildly through their hair, slapping their faces.
Sakura twisted her head slightly to look over her shoulder, she breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they weren't followed. Sakura slowed down, she pulled Yuki to lean against a tree, hiding their body from that man. They were gasping for a breath. Sakura turned toward Yuki, "are you okay?" she asked.
Yuki muttered, her mouth opened slightly, "…blood of people…are beasts…as humans." Sakura leaned, straining her ears to hear clearly.
"They are-"
Sakura's eyes widened.
"I found you, little girls"
A large hand clamped over her head roughly, yanking her toward him. Red eyes stared straight at her.
"NO!" Sakura cried loudly, hands gripped his wrist and arm. She tried to pull his hand off her head. The man's lips curled viciously as he tightens his grip.
Sakura opened her eyes, it widened when they landed on something behind the man.
Crash!
A hand pierced through the man, drops of blood splattered on her face. Sakura fell on her knees, wide eyes stared the man lifeless body until it suddenly turned into dust.
"You are a disgrace to all vampires." Sakura heard the boy. Yuki ran over her, she gripped Sakura's arm tightly. In her other hand, was the kimono she held before.
The boy with dark brown hair licked his bloody hand, his glowing eyes stared at the girls, eyelids lowered slightly. His gaze lingered on the girl with emerald eyes, before slowly roamed over Yuki beside her.
"Are you two alright?" he spoke to them kindly as he offered his hands in front of them. He helped the girls up, his body leaned down to put his arms around the girls.
…
Dark Fairy Tale
…
His name Kaname Kuran, the boy who saved them two hours ago from the man who had attacked them. That man was a vampire, Sakura heard Kaname said it, but she still did not know what it is. He took them to a man with glasses, his name Kaien Cross, and the one who will take care of them.
Right now, they were in Kaien's living room, Sakura sat beside the man and Yuki sat on the sofa in front of her, next to Yuki was Kaname. Sakura saw Yuki poking her pudding for a few times and chuckled at her behavior.
"You should use the spoon to eat it," Sakura said as she seated herself to hold her spoon. She scooped her pudding and decided to crawl on the desk when she cannot reach the other girl to feed it, "here."
Yuki ate the pudding, she opened her mouth waiting for Sakura to feed her again, Sakura granted her wish to do it. Meanwhile, Kaien watched them with sparkles eyes, in his hand was a camera that appeared out of nowhere. Kaname smiled a bit at their interaction.
"You cannot sit on the table, Sakura." He lifted the girl and put her beside Yuki.
'It's the first time he said my name,' Sakura thought.
Kaname saw Yuki tried to hold her spoon filled pudding and raised it in front of Sakura's mouth. His garnet eyes softened.
…
"Please, take care of them," Kaname said to Kaien after he fixed up her coat and scarf
Kaien nodded, "its fine, don't worry about them."
Kaname gripped the door's handle, he stared at the girls before he turned his body.
Kaien waved his hand, "be careful!"
"Then," he turned his body toward the girls, "how about you girls take a bath together?" Kaien asked them Sakura and Yuki.
…
Sakura opened the bathroom's door, she walked slowly to the bathtub. Yuki trailed behind her, she put her hand in the warm water that prepared by Kaien but immediately pulled it out. Yuki funnily stared the water as if it offended her. Sakura stared at herself in the mirror, she found herself stared at emerald eyes. Soft pink hair framed her face, the length around her waist, with short bangs covered her forehead cutely, her skin pale and smooth.
After they take bath, Kaien took them to their temporary room before he prepared their bedrooms. Sakura has not fallen asleep, Yuki has been asleep beside her. She closed her eyes, slowly drifted to sleep.
