Magnetic Impulses
Chapter I- Into the Light
Gravel crunches under the tires of the taxi cab. I stare out the window into the rainy gloom, barely making out the grey wrought-iron sign proclaiming that we have reached Cross Academy. The night is dark, and has an ominous aura somehow. I like it that way. A fitting aura for the night, I suppose... the night in which Tsuta and I will be separated for the first time since we were toddlers. We're the twins of Hiyari Orphanage, we've always been. But now, I will be separated into the vampires, and Tsuta will be separated into the humans. As it should be, I suppose....
"This the place?" the taxi driver asks. His voice is rough, but concerned. He, too, senses the aura...
"Hai {yes}," I say softly. Tsuta is staring out the window as well. I can see a faint reflection of her face. It's sorrowful yet expressionless, as usual. I touch her hand gently, and she doesn't respond. Ever since the fire a month ago, she's been more emotionless than ever. It's as if she's taken shelter from the world within herself... I pull some money out of my purse and offer it to the driver as Tsuta steps out of the cab, eyes downcast.
"No, no, the lady at the orphanage paid me," he says, shaking his head. He clearly wants to get away from this place. I thank him, and step out after Tsuta.
I can hear the tires on the cab squeal as it fishtails, straightens, and speeds away. Tsuta laughs quietly. "For someone so concerned, he did not waste time getting away."
I shrug. "It isn't a comfortable atmosphere, even for us," I say diplomatically. She shrugs as well, agreeing. Free from watching eyes, Tsuta looks over the entrance, raising her head to see better. It's big, grand, pointless. Stone supports and wrought iron are expensive, and completely useless for an academy of vampires. Vampires and humans, I remind myself. The Day class, where Tsuta will be, is made of humans. Charming. We are separated in a potentially dangerous place. The situation couldn't be much worse.
"I suppose if we aren't going to get a welcoming committee, we should just go ahead," I say, trying to make my tone lighter than my thoughts, trying to dig Tsuta out of her shell.
She merely nods, already building walls against the people she hasn't met. I take her hand, and run forward, making her run along side me. Tsuta loves running. She says it makes her feel less dragged down, makes her feel like she could fly. Sure enough, she's smiling as she looks up to see. She laughs, and my spirits soar. Maybe... maybe this new place won't be so bad.
~~~Tsuta's POV~~~
As Kameria and I near the dorm building, we hear music. I cast my eyes downward and slow my pace to a walk, not pleased by the relevation this gives me. Someone is having a party. Friends.... there were friends in there. It made me scared. Scared they would hurt outsiders like me. Like everyone else had.
I slow to a stop, dropping Kameria's hand, and stare at the grass under my feet. Kameria stops as well, she slowed with me, and touches my arm.
"Tsu-chan..." she murmurs, her hand down my arm into my hand. She squeezes it lightly. "We're so close. C'mon, Tsu-chan..." She tugs my hand lightly, and I follow dumbly, looking down still.
Across a few more meters and up a flight of stairs and we reach the large double doors. They're thick and wooden, more useless expenses. "Ready?" Kameria asks quietly, grasping one of the handles. I bite my lip, and nod, taking hold of the other. Together, we pull open the doors, and step into the light.
