Pairings: Shun x Alice and Ren x Fabia

"Look Alice! We're here!" Fabia exclaimed to her friend. Alice Gehabich had finally caught up with her best friend Fabia Sheen, who had an interest in supernatural things. The two girls arrived at a large black mansion with a black stone gate. There also was a sign that said NO TREPASSING that was written with red paint. "Fabia, I'm going back home, this is too dangerous. And besides, we're not allowed to go in here, did you see the sign?" Alice said to her and pointing to the sign at the same time. Fabia looked back and frowned, "Geez Alice, I could get valuable information for the supernatural club at our school by going to this." Fabia opened the gate. "What supernatural stuff is in this mansion?" Alice asked. "I researched this place on the internet at school and found out that 900 year old vampires live here." explained Fabia. Alice shuddered, "I wanna go back to my house!" She wailed. Fabia then pulled her arm. "Come on Alice, this is going to be a wonderful experience for both of us." Alice shook her head. "No, I wanna go back home. Let me go Fabia." Alice struggled her hand. Fabia did sad puppy eyes at her best friend. Alice blushed, "Fine, let's go in, but if something bad happens, it's going to be your entire fault." Alice said. "I'll take all of the blame." said Fabia. They both opened the black stone gate and walked in. They saw crimson roses all over the yard. They soon approached a tall wooden door that was carved with curls and roses. "Is anyone there?" Fabia asked as she knocked on the knocker.

No response came.

"Maybe they aren't home." Alice suggested. Fabia shook her head, "No! They must be home!" She exclaimed nervously as she knocked again and again. "Fabia, maybe we should come back tomorrow." Alice suggested again. "NO! I was dreaming to come here to find supernatural things." She wailed. Soon, the door opened, "Hey, the door was open!" Fabia exclaimed happily. Alice sighed, sometimes she loved Fabia like a sister, and other times, she loathed her for her obsession. They went inside and looked around. The room had red walls and the floor was black. There were pictures hung all over the wall. There also was a piano in the corner. A stairway was across from them. "This must be the living room Alice." whispered Fabia. "Why are you whispering?" Alice whispered back.

Fabia looked at Alice, "People may live here, or maybe the vampires are hiding from us." she whispered. Alice nodded. They crept quietly through the living room and soon approached the back door. Fabia slowly opened it, causing creaky noises. From the top of the stairway was a maid dressed in black and white frilly clothes was watching them. "I must inform Shun-sama and Ren-sama about this. There are intruders in this mansion." She walked away to a black door. She opened the door slowly, "Hello? Is anyone there?" she squeaked. "Nanami? What is it?" a dark voice boomed. Nanami walked over slowly. "Ren-sama! There are intruders in this mansion." She babbled. The room became silent. "Who are they?" he asked. Nanami's palms were sweating. "Two young women." she said. A shadow walked toward Nanami. "Didn't they read the sign brother planted in front of the mansion? Anyway, bring them here, I shall punish them." he hissed. Nanami nodded and scuttled out of the room.

Fabia looked around, "Nothing seems interesting here." She sighed. Alice was looking at a grandfather clock. Something's not right about this clock, I can't figure out what is wrong. "Alice? Is there something wrong?" Fabia asked. Alice shook her head. "I wanna get out of here; this place gives me the creeps." She said. "Aww….come on! Are you gonna be a little baby?" teased Fabia. Alice glared at Fabia. "No…..I'm not!" She snapped. Fabia stuck her tongue out at her. "Stop it!" said Alice, feeling a little hurt. Fabia then left to explore more. Geez Fabia. Alice rudely thought. Suddenly, Nanami approached Alice with a smile on her face. "Hello." she greeted. "Aaaahhhhhhh!" Alice squealed. "Don't be afraid of me, I'm a servant here. My name is Nanami." She told her. "N-Nanami?" she said her name. Nanami smiled, "That's my name." She told her. Alice stood up and shook hands. "My name is Alice Gehabich. You live here right?" asked Alice. Nanami nodded, "Of course I live here." She told her.

"Do vampires live here?" Alice questioned. "Yes it is true that vampires live here, although they don't like visitors." Nanami explained. "Alice, did you read the sign that was out there?" She then asked. Alice nodded, "I read the sign, but you see, my friend is obsessed with the supernatural things at school, so she dragged me along. I told her not to go in, but she didn't listen." She explained. Nanami nodded. "Oh well, I don't know how I will be able to explain to Ren-sama!" She sighed. "Who's Ren-sama?" Alice asked. "He's one of the vampires that live here." The maid told her.
