I do not own Vampire Knight....The Valentines are mine though =]
Chapter 1: New Cage
I looked out the window to the black sedan and gazed at the falling sun. With its colors of reddish-orange and pinkish-purple painting the sky, I became hypnotized by the peaceful scenery that passed by out of the window.
"Well isn't this a gorgeous atmosphere to put a boarding school," asked Aunt Alexandra.
"Aside from the location, the institution is very prestigious and secluded for safety precautions," replied Aunt Christina. I ignored their attempt at conversation. I wasn't in the mood.
"I'm sure you'll be better off here, darling," said Aunt Vivian. What's best for me is for my father to come back. But that's not going to happen anytime soon, so I'm not going to be better. Ever.
I didn't know I had a family until three years ago...My father, Uncle Jack, and my Aunts...before that I was an orphan. Going from home to home hasn't the best life a kid could have. But it could have been worse...I could've been dead.
I can remember the night so vividly that it haunts me.
I was running...running away. Piercing red eyes were chasing me...a creepy voice telling me my blood smelled sweet. The dirty creature hissing at me, chasing me through the streets of the city. Cornered in an alley, I was going to die.
I didn't...because HE was their. He said he was looking for me. He was my dad.
"A.J...A.J," called Aunt Vivian jerking me from my memory. I looked away from the mirror, blinking, gazing at my aunts. Vivian had slight confusion in her icy blue eyes. Alexandra's emerald-green ones held a worried essence. Christina's bright gray ones had the same nonchalant expression that they always had. "Are you alright, love," Vivian asked.
"Solid," I said, starting to fiddle with the silver chain around my neck. I swept the chain til I found the charm that hung from it, the small teardrop shaped aqua gem that matched my aquamarine orbs. Vivian lifted her hand to move my dark curls behind my ears, her hand lingering to trace the multiple piercings in my ear. "Promise me you'll try to behave." I turned and gave her an annoyed look.
"Are you going to frown like that all the time, it makes you look gloomy," said Vivian.
"It's unbecoming," said Christina.
"It gives you frown lines," said Alexandra. I just glared at them and went back to looking at the beautiful sky that would soon turn to darkness.
"Enter," commanded Kaname when I knocked on the door to his room. I immediately entered the room with window slightly opened, letting in some of the evening light.
"The preparations are finished, Kaname," I said.
"Excellent, Takuma," he said looking up from his solitary game of chess, "I assume everyone is ready to greet our new student?"
"Yes, you can thank Yuki for corralling everyone together in the foyer."
"I take it she's extra excited."
"As always. It's a momentous occasion. It's not everyday that we get e new Night class student, especially one that is a pureblood."
"Do you think things will shift." I knew exactly what he meant by that, and I had the answer.
"The Night class will always be loyal to you. Ever since Rido has been defeated, and peace reinstated there would be no reason for us to lose faith in you now. But I must saw, three purbloods in one general area seems interesting." Kaname just nodded. "We are all waiting on their arr-"
"They're here," Kaname said rising from his chair.
"Oh! Well it's time to go greet our new classmate." We both exited the room to make our way to the opening foyer where everyone else was waiting for our guests.
"We're here," Christina said in monotone. I looked out to see a large iron gate with the schools initials on it. The car came to a halt and we all exited the car to be greeted by a cheerful man with glasses and a honey blonde ponytail.
"Good evening ladies," he said in a kind voice.
"KAIEN, DARLING," cried Alexandra. She walked up to him and embraced him in a tight hug.
"Alexandra," he said in an excited muffled voice, "It's wonderful to see you again. You are just as beautiful as ever." My redheaded beauty of an aunt started caressing his head seductively.
"How are you, my little nugget," she nuzzling his face. The man turned beet red with embarrassment, from my aunts overly seductive gesture. She is known for her very flirtatious and sensual spirit. She was the "fun aunt".
"I-I'm d-do-doing well L-Lady Alexandra," he said with a shiver.
"You know you can't eat him, Alex. That would be unethical," said Christina. She flipped her silky straight blonde hair over her shoulder.
"Alexandra, dear, must you molest Kaien," asked Vivian running a hand through her dark brown locks. Alexandra pressed her cheek against his and winked back at us.
"Good evening, Kaien," said Christina stepping up.
"Good to see you Lady Christina," he said taking her hand and giving a bow, "Lady Vivian," he said doing the same to my other aunt.
he turned his eyes to me and smiled.
"You must be Miss Avery," he stepped towards me and gave a respectful bow.
"Welcome to Cross Academy." My new cage.
