Rosario X Vampire: Classified
Chapter 1: Through My Eyes
I have seen the world change as time has passed by. It moves so fast seeing people change and build a world they all can live in harmony together. For every bit of good in this world, there is always darkness. For centuries there have been tales told of my kind. I will not tell you what I am. I will not let such a thing fall on the wrong ears.
I want to see the world. I want to make a future for myself. I want to make friends, and learn what this world has to offer. For over one hundred years, I was raised in Rome by the Vatican. My home was the Basilica of St. Peter. This place has so many memories, and many faces of those that have served as the highest figure in the Christian faith.
Those that have held that seat of power seemed to have something to teach me about the world. Thus my knowledge of the world is great, but what good is knowing about the world when you don't get the chance to see it for yourself? I hoped to have that chance, and I finally got it. It was both the happiest and the saddest time in my life.
If you look at me, I appear to be a normal looking teenage girl, yes? I am far from normal, but get to know me and I can be your friend. Would you want to be friends with someone like me? In the past, there have been stories of my kind and not all of them place my kind in a good light. Today seemed like just a normal day in the Basilica.
Tourists walk around the area, and watch as the Swiss Guards go through their daily drills. That evening, I was to be summoned to see Pope Francis. A good and kind man he is, "My child, you have lived your life within these walls, but I feel it is time you see the world through your eyes," He said, smiling a fatherly smile while sitting at his desk.
"It has recently come to my attention that there is a special place where you can go and live in harmony...in Japan," he stated, this peeked my interest which he took notice of, "interested? Well, it is going to take some time to get through the paperwork, a child cannot grow within these confined spaces, this is your big chance, I would take it,"
"For over one hundred years, I have lived here, I have seen all manner of men hold the position that you now hold, I look up to you...and your wisdom, you have taught me all that there is to know about the world, I want to see the world for myself," I explained to him, he nodded and opened the window shades to view the grand basilica square.
"Well then, every journey in life must have a starting point," He replied, looking back at me, "this may take some time, we need to have you fill out the paperwork, and we will have to speak with the dean of the school you will be attending," I was surprised by that, "oh! I forgot to mention this to you, the place you will be going is a high school"
"You will still have to study hard, but the main reason you will be attending this school is for more social reasons, you need to learn to live around your own kind, I know it sounds harsh, but it is the truth, I feel that some may look different, but deep down we are all the same," he explained to me, I smiled in understanding, "it is time for mass"
Days soon turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. As it is to be expected, there were a few problems along the way. One of which was that I would be allowed to attend classes, but they did not have a uniform in my size. It is what it is. The time had finally come, and I was escorted to the airport by a nun, Sister Gabriella, to the gate.
"This is your chance, and look on the bright side, if things do not work out, you will always have a home here," she said, "go now with eyes ready to be opened by the world, and new people to meet and care for," it was the hardest choice I had ever made, this had been my home for over one hundred years, and now I am going to some place new
I don't know what to expect in Japan or at this school. I am at that age where I am making my own decisions for my life, creating my own destiny as some would say. I am not one to believe in destiny, but I believe that everyone can make a contribution in the world. Everyone has a place in the world. It is up to me to find my place in the world.
It all starts here. I am nervous, and excited. The flight was endless, hours of getting up to use the washroom, packaged peanuts and snacks, and airline food. When the plane touched down, I walked out of the gate to pick up my baggage from the terminal, "Here we go," I said to myself, my name is Zorine Faust, and these are my new adventures.
