Chapter 1
Her name is Rosalen but everyone called her Rose or Akira. No one uses the name Rosalen but her family or one true love.
And so the story starts.
Nine year old Rosalen sat on a hill in the park. It was getting late and she was watching the sunset. Rosalen sighed heavily as she heard footsteps coming up the hill with her black cat ears. The steps stopped and she looked around the tree she was leaning against and saw a boy with bright red hair and emerald eyes. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know anyone was up here," he said very nervous and shy for what looked like an eleven year old. "It's okay. If you want you can join me." Rosalen smiled and moved over a little so the boy can sit. He smiles, walking over to where the girl was and sat down.
"So you new around here." He asked not looking at Rosalen. "Yeah, me and my aunt just moved," Rosalen said. "Where are your parents?" He turned to look at the girl next to him. Rosalen looked down at her lap not wanting to meet his eye, "they're dead," she responded. "Oh I'm sorry for asking," the red head said in very sad tone.
They sat there for a little longer to speak to each other. 'I wonder why he hasn't asked me about my ears yet' Rosalen thought bringing her knees to her chest and leaning her head on her knees. She didn't notice the red head glancing at her every few minutes. He also noticed the cat ears but didn't wasn't to ask because he had the same thing but his where wolf ears and they were very well hidden. He sensed that there was something odd about the girl next to him.
Rosalen's ears shot up as a voice reached both of the ears, "rose it's time to come home." "I got to home. It was nice to meet you…..um…." Rosalen paused. "Lavi, Lavi bookman," the red head smiled. "Well Lavi, it was very nice to meet and I hope to see you again," Rosalen smiled and waved him good-bye and she ran down the hill and to the voice that was called her name. Lavi watched as Rosalen ran down the hill, 'hope to see you again too,' he paused in the middle of his thought smiling to himself 'Rose'.
