"Youre mission….. kill…. Rose…. Let nothing stop you"
Green eyes snapped open in a flash. Sitting up in a startled frenzy he looked around. He was in an alley, cold, damp; full of rainwater. He chuckled, not able to remember a day that was drearier. Then his smile deepened into a frown. He couldn't remember anything. His head dropped and then shot right back up. His torso had a large gash in it; a crimson liquid, his blood, seeping from the wound.
Staggering up he clutched his wound applying pressure. However much he tried, he only made it a couple of feet before falling back to the earth. As if a sign from somewhere beyond this world it was enough. Turning his head he saw a figure in white clothes, dark hair ending in red whipping about, running right towards him. He wished, as his eyes began to lose power and shut, that he would be able to thank them someday.
"Don't…. die…., moron"
When he awoke he was inside. The rain still poured as it pounded heavily on the walls. Feeling for his wound he found that they had been bandaged over. He started to raise himself up until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning his head he saw a girl, green eyes met silver, and she smiled. She wore a black corset, skirt, and stockings with boots.
"Sorry kiddo, you just got treated for a life threatening wound; you're not going anywhere." With that she removed her hand and sat in a chair besides the bed he laid in. "Now as you're current caretaker I will have to ask some questions. Firstly who are you?"
"I… I don't know" His voice was weak in comparison to hers, his filled with uncertainty, hers filled to the brim with confidence about the situation.
"Alright… then tell me where you got that wound. You can do that much right?" a sullen shake of his head was all he could do to respond to her. He didn't know anything. Not who he was, where he was, or even why he was here.
"Hmm… in that case explain to me how you bleed so much from a tiny scratch. The scans say you aren't hemophilic so that doesn't explain it. Then again I doubt you can explain it either given the lack of personal information you seem to have…"
"A scratch?" suddenly he was confused. He knew for a fact that his torso was cut open before he passed out. Why was she saying it was a no worry injury? "What kind of monster do you have to be to call having your chest become a fillet, a scratch?"
Her eyes closed in thought for a while, his question hanging in the air, until she opened them and smiled once more. For the first time he realized he was shaking during her smiles. It was like a wolf staring down at her prey, and as the prey he felt helpless; She opened her mouth releasing her sugar sweet voice once more.
"How would you like to stay at my school? It would be a good place for you to stay until you regain what memories you seem to have lost."
School? The idea seemed out from left field, random, a complete tangent. Yet it felt right, as if he knew that he must do so. The lady staring him down must have noticed the acceptance in his eyes because her smile let up once more as she stood.
"Good, It was going to be troublesome having you in Rose Wall's infirmary if you weren't a student. School starts in three days so you should be good by then. See you later kiddo." As the pale woman walked away the only thing remaining in his vision was her long dark hair that ended in red. He now had to thank her a second time her realized. It seemed to have to be the same person. Staying awake was taxing him, and so he let himself drift back to sleep, guided only by the chaotic tapping of the rain.
"This is the first chapter of a story idea I had. If it gets enough love from you all I might decide to actually continue with it. If not I have other stories that I know you guys already love to do.
You all need to be aware of one thing with this story. The main characters will all be OC's. This story is post ending of volume 3 and a major time skip later. If you all have an issue with OC stories tell me why that is. I might be able to ease your concerns.
In any case this is Topaz signing off. Read, review, live life well.
