Vampire Knight: Reborn
Rose's Pov
Ten years. Ten years since that dreadful day...i was only nine years old. My little sister, Daisy, was five. Our parents...were found dead, bleeding. A pool of blood. But it wasn't who killed them, it was what.
*Flashback*
" Rose! Rose? W-why are mother and father bleeding! I'm scared!" My little sister cried out in fear. She was wearing a white and yellow tank top with daisies patterned across it. Our parents named her after a sweet, and innocent flower. One that brings joy to many people. One without a vampiric backround. Hoping she would be safe. The prodigy child. Your little sister. You sometimes wondered if they wanted you to be the sacrafice for your little sister. If they wanted you to give yourself over to...something, in order to protect your sister. And of course, like every wish they had. You obeyed. You would protect your sister even if it ment sacraficing everything you had. Your life. Something was out there. You didnt know what but...you knew it was dangerous. Your sister, she was special. She could outsmart an engineer. She could take down a full grown man. She was nothing average. But she relied on you. Your whole life your parents had treated you as nothing more than a servent while they praised their youngest daughter. You knew why you were named rose. They had expected their second to be a prodigy. Because when she was born, she never cried. You cried, which is why you were cursed with the most dangerous name. Kids at school...were scared of what would become of them if they be-friended you. You loved your sister, parents, and family anyway. THye were all you had. And almost all of them were gone. The something you had feared your entire life had come and revealed them selves. You bent down and hugged your crying sister. Your were orphans from now on. " Daisy, dont cry, I'm still here and nothing willl hurt you. Not over my dead body." Her hazel eyes melted into your crystal blue ones. She had taken more to your fathers side. Chocolate brown hair and hazel eyes. While you were the complete opposite. Blue eyes, and dirty blonde hair. " Sister...dont die...please. I want you alive more than me." "We need to get out of here. Now!" you grabbed her hand and ran down the bloodied stairs. That something...WAS FOLLOWING YOU! you heard the footsteps of a man. Low growling was amersing from the kitchen. You bolted out the door, with your sister behind you. "Sister! Please i cant keep up!" You spun around and picked her up slinging her onto your back. "Be quiet and dont speak." "Blood! BLOOD! give me it now." That thing! It, It was a monster! It had bloody red eyes and sharp fangs. It was crazed...for blood im presuming. "Daisy, this is where we say goodbye. Run, run and dont come back!" Normally, you were...erh...sarcastic, witty and stubborn. But now...now you were scared and alone. "But sister-" "GO! AND NEVER COME BACK!" She looked up at you with tears in her eyes but obeyed and ran. You faced your opponent. Your whole life you were alone, cooped up in the upstairs attick. Which was your room. You've never fought. "My my, how adorable. The older sister protecting her little sister. Well, that wasnt smart to tell her to run. What if theres more of us? The prodigy child, now away from her protector. All we want is her. Do not interfere." Your eye's widend. "DAISY!" you ran as fast as you could. You looked down every alley way. Every street. "DAISY! COME BACK!" your eyes welled with tears. You ran through dark gates. You didnt care if you were had to make sure she was safe. "DAISY!" you ran pass a window and looked up as you ran. In the window stood a boy with silver hair and burning violet eyes. He looked down at you and watched you run past. You reached the edge where the forest began. You ran full on ahead. She had to be here. "DAISY!" You yelled hoping she would hear you. "Rose?" You heard her faint voice and turned. There she was. On the ground with two holes in her neck. Blood pooled around her. And two men with crazed looks stood watching her. Her white socks were bloody and her leather penny loafers where no where to be seen. As bad as the situation was...she looked beautiful. You ran to her and held her. "Daisy, stay with me." "R-rose...t-thank you. F-for always being there. E-even when mother and f-father treated y-you badly. I-i l-love you." She became limp and lifeless in your hands. The men were no where to be seen. Good because at this moment. If they were still here...you would kill them. Your sister lay there with blank, hazel eyes. You stayed there with your arms cradling her the rest of the night. Vowing you would never let someone you love die again.
Zero's pov
"Zero, i hope you had a nice bath. Was yuuki any trouble? I'm sure she wasnt, she never has been. Please make yourself at home." The chairman cooed. He has just taken you in after that...unfortunate event with your family. You looked out the window right as a young girl your age ran past screaming out the name of a flower. "DAISY!" Must be her sister or something. She looked scared though. And why was there another girl here on campus. The only people should be the night class. And they were in highschool. So why would a nine year old girl be here? "Chairman?" you asked dully. " huh? Please call me daddy! But yes?" " Are you sure no one but the nightclass is on campus. No one our age is...on campus?" "oh, no, there shoudlnt be. Why did you see someone?" "No, just a stupid question." You walked out of the room. "Ah! Zero! Wait let me show you to your room!" Yuuki called out to you. You stopped in the hall way. "Yuuki...i need to talk to you." you said looking slightly over your shoulder. "Oh, okay." She stepped ahead of you and dragged you to your room. "What is it? You saw someone didnt you?" "Yea...she looked...scared. She called out for someone...daisy...yea it was daisy alright. But who is she and who was daisy?" "I dont know, wait..she? Daisy...daisy..there is a young prodigy child named Daisy Hope. Many..erh...you know...vampires...have been searching for her. Apparently her blood is supposed to taste really good. Yuck! I dont know how they do it." My faced tightened up and i found myself glaring at the floor. "yea," then realization hit me. "Yuuki does this Daisy have any siblings?" "Erm, im not sure. There is this girl, she seems to always obey the Hope's orders. And she is always seen around Daisy. Mabye she's their servant. Is that who you saw?" "I think so...the girl. she was screaming out Daisy desperately, and when she looked up she had so much pain in her eyes. Her eyes...were crystal blue and...her hair was a beautiful dirty blonde." "OOH, could zero-kun be in lovvee?" "WHAT! No way i dont even know the girl!" She giggled and started poking my stomach making me step backwards. "Yes you do! Love at first sight!" I then started pushing her head. "Shut up and go to bed. I dont need this." She giggled and closed the door. I opened it really fast and screamed down the hallway. "IM NOT IN LOVE WITH HER!" then slammed the door shut. i sighed and climbed in bed, already missing my family. I turned the light off and closed my eyes as sleep consumed me.
Rose's Pov
"Excuse me miss. But why are you on the ground?" You heard someone's voice call out. You sat up and glared. "what?" you asked turning your head to the side after seeing where you were. " Well, one, a young girl such as yourself shouldn't be out here alone. Two, your sleeping on the ground. Are you ok?" The teenager, or so you thought, you were talking to had messy blonde hair and light blue eyes. "Yes now leave me alone...please." you added in the please at the end thinking of what your parents would do. Then you suddenly remebered...you had no one. You flipped onto your knee's and searched for Daisy's body. T-those men must have taken her. "Young lady, may i ask who your looking for?" The voice was different this time. Less hyper, more respectfull. You turned your head around and saw another blonde haired teenage boy with brown eyes. His uniform was unbuttoned at the begginning and had no tie. "U-umm, m-my little sister." "Oh! We'll help you find her! It'll be ok!" Shouted the other, more hyperactive, blonde. "No, she wont. She's dead." The blonde-who had been waving his hands trying to reassure- frowned and stopped with the hand motions. " Then why were you looking for her?" "She was here last night, I had made sure to keep an eye on her body...but s-sh-" your eyes welled up, you couldn't take it anymore. You had to cry. You felt one of them hug you. "It's okay, we understand the rest of that sentence." It was the brown eyed one. The blue eyed one looked at you. He looked deep in thought." What was your sister's name? If i may ask." The blue eyed one asked suddenly. You felt the arms release and the respectfull one stood back up. " D-daisy H-hope" you said sniffling slightly, causing you to gasped slightly. "The prodigy child" he whispered. Your gase lowered. "You know of her then, im sorry i couldn't protect her." They gazed at you sympetheticly. "I never knew she had a sister. There were rumors of a servent that followed her around though." "That was me, my parents treated me as though i were one." " And your parents...Violet and Ceil Hope? Are they-" "Dead im the last." He sighed. "How many poor children must Level E's make orphaned?" "Aidou...what shall we do?" The brown eyed asked. "Hm...I dont know." "Young lady, what is your name." "I dont want to tell you." You whispered. "oh c'mon we're not bad or anything." The blue eyed, which you inquired was aidou, stated funnily. You laughed. "Your funny" "HAHA! See Akatsuki! Someone said i was funny!" "She's nine and has just been put through a tramatic massacre of her family...she's probably delusional." You laughed again. "huh? You knew what those words ment?" "Yes, of course! doesent everyone?" "No, not nine year olds." "You never told me your name." Your face went grim. "No, its a terrible name, you'll be afraid like everyone else. He looked at you shocked. 'what kind of parent would give a name so terrible? She did say her parents treated her as though she were a low-blooded servent.' "Trust me I wont. In all reality, you should be afraid of me, but your not. So in return i will not be afraid of you." "Fear is not something you choose." You whispered quietly. "She is amazingly smart kain-sama." Aidou whispered to "kain". "Indeed." "Please i beg of you. I just want to help you. A cursed name is not going to scare me." "Yeah! we're not little school girls!" she giggled again.'Aww, so cute!' Both aidou and kain thought simotainously. "Ok, I-its Rose. Rose Hope." They flung your head down in shame. They looked at eachother. "Rose, a beautiful name indeed. Come with us, we will help you." Kain replied to your solemn expression. You smiled and laughed. "Ok!" You grabbed the hand he held out to you and held it along with aidou's. "You know, your a brave girl. Very intelligent to." Aidou said happily. "Y-you think so?" "Yeah! i know so!" You laughed again.
Aidou's pov
You smiled. You just made her so happy by talking to her. How hard had her parents made it on her. Did they even acknowledge her? Why would they name her Rose? Thats one of the most deadliest names. Their just begging for a vampire to come and suck the life out of her. Unless...they wanted her to sacrafice herself for her little sister. The prodigy child. You looked down at her. She must have had it hard. The little blonde haired, blue eyed girl looked up and smiled. She looked tired. "Rose-chan," you said bending down to her level. "Are you tired?" She though she was incredibly smart for her age...she was still nine and still acting like a nine year old should. Kain looked at her and smiled. Most likely having just gone through the mental conversation you had. You picked her up and carried her on your back. She was out like a light. "She must've been tired eh akatsuki?" he looked at her then smiled a sad smile. "Ya she's had it rough hasnt she?" "Yea, lets take her to Kaname...he'll know what to do.
I will also show you a sweet dream...next night
