My first Vampire Knight story. Read and comment!
Katsu P.O.V
The roaring of the car motor brought me into the conscious world. Sleepily, I rubbed my eyes and looked out the window at the passing scenery. Thick raindrops pelted the ground and window, almost making a musical sound. Plop! Plop! Plop! Using my coat sleeve, I whipped the fog away from the glass and pressed my nose to it, allowing my warm breath to once again cloud it up.
After a few times repeating this than only getting to see the nearest tree through the rain, I gave up. Unhappily I sat back in my seat and looked over at Riko-sensei. He gazed out over the rain washed road, not looking at me. His bright blue eyes were tinged with something that made me want to disappear- Maybe it was regret. Regret for ever promising my parents that he would look after me if anything happened to them. Regret for ever keeping that promise. I opened my mouth than closed it, I doubted he would turn the car around if I asked him to. But why would he ever take me there if he himself couldn't stand the place?
"We're almost there Katsu." Riko- sensei said, eyes still fixed on the wet road ahead of us. His black hair, which was cropped short, stuck out in different directions. It was obvious that he hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before, bags were starting to show under his usually alert eyes.
Nervously, I cleared my throat, "Riko-sensei." The words came out in a whisper but he tilted his head my way slightly. I had gotten his attention.
I didn't speak for a few moments so he looked at me; "Yes Katsu?" he prompted.
"I don't mind if we turn around." Hope became entangled in my voice making it sound as though I didn't want to continue our drive. Truthfully, I didn't. The destination seemed so far away, too far out of my comfort zone.
He sighed, gaze dead locked back onto the road. His next words came out softly but I knew by the way he forcefully gripped the steering wheel that he would have gladly turn the vehicle around; were it not for his promise. "You know I cannot do that. I made a promise to Hikaru and Noriaki and I tend to go through with it."
"But-"
"No!" this time his voice was hard, resolved.
I felt my face turn a slight shade of red after having to be reprimanded. "Sorry Riko-sensei." Usually my sensei was calm, but when he spoke harshly it was a sign that you had better be quiet and listen. I turned to look out the fogged up window once again.
After what seemed like hours, but could have only been a matter of minutes, he cleared his throat, "We're here." I felt my stomach plummet. What if they didn't want me? What if they too believe that I should have been killed after being found amongst the bodies of my parents and siblings? Taking a deep breath I gathered my courage and whipped the condensation off the window so I could look out. A big, dark building stood out against the pelting rain. Appropriately, lightning flashed and I was able to see my new home for the first time. Cross Academy.
