PROLOGUE
Droplets of rain water dripped from the collar of my coat, and pooled down at my feet as I stood on the doorstep of the estate mansion. I stared up at the towering and threatening door in front of me, the glossy dark wood mocked my reflection as the rain from the storm flowed down it like a water feature. An uncomfortable churning in my stomach kept my arms locked to my sides, and my legs frozen in place, the only function I seemed to be able to do was stare at the door. Almost willing it to knock on itself.
I wasn't even sure what I was doing there anymore. Just a week ago my life seemed so simple and menial. I woke up, I went to work, I came home. Rinse and repeat. That was my life. It wasn't exciting, it wasn't adventurous. But I was happy with it. Never in a million years did I expect it to take such a turn like this, now I didn't know what was happening. All control I possessed over my life was slipping away, and the cause seemed so small and avoidable.
But do you know what the craziest thing was?
Something inside me was...intrigued. And I guessed that's what had brought me to this house at 11 o'clock at night, waiting to find the courage to knock and see the man who's been haunting my dreams since the day I met him. Don't get me wrong, this man was a monster. He was cold, possessive, arrogant, cruel and pretty much every other word that describes a man with no people skills. But I knew there was more to him that I couldn't see. I'd always been raised to see the good in all people, and be open minded when judging a person on their behaviour. With Hikaru Hitachiin, that was a challenge. But he'd asked for help. And I knew that must have been hard for him.
I counted to 10 and let out a long breath as a growl of thunder echoed from the sky. Once upon a time I'd been terrified of thunder, but that fear cowered in comparison of what I was about to do.
Slowly, I lifted my arm, and balled my fist against the hard wood of the door.
Here goes nothing...
And I knocked, 3 times.
Hi everyone! After hitting writer's block with King and Lionheart and Let The Wind Blow, I thought I would start posting a new story I've been working on for a while, a story that I'm confident to update. Don't worry, my other stories will be continued! I'm just trying to get myself past a wall so I know where the stories are going! I will still be updating K&L and LTWB, but the posts may be a lot slower until I cure myself of this mental block.
This one is a little different to the others, but will still have the same Hikaru/Haruhi charm!
I hope you enjoy it! I've been wanting to post it for a while, but decided against it for a long time due to having two other stories that need finishing! But hey, why not.
Please remember to Review/Favourite/Follow.
Love you all!
Yuli xxxx
