Hong Meiling
This happen before Sakuya comes to SDM when Meiling still a chief maid…
"Did you hear this,yet?"
"Hear what?"
"What!? Every maid here know this rumor!"
"I have been sick for whole three week! How can I know the rumor here!?"
"Oh! Sorry,I forgot about that…"
"So…what the rumor about?"
"Well…It's about…"
"Hey! You there! Get back to work!"
"Y..Y..Yes chief maid!"
The fairy maids run quickly as they see the chief maid.
"Geez…these guys as always…"
As she sighs, she thinks about the 'popular but true' 's about the forbidden area in this mansion.
'the basement'
'There a new maid who love to disobey the mistress and the chief maid ,one day when she see the door where nobody ever decide to go look inside while she goes near that door, there is the other maid see her, she tells her not to go but she not listen and then she goes inside that door, other maid run to tell her friends when they arrive that maid comes out with her face full of fear , she says something about the monster,demon,one week later she kill herself month past by another maid goes to clean inside that door without knowing anything and she never comes back…'
But the rumor fades away because of mistress orders still there are some maid who still talk about this rumor just like those girls.
"chief maid,The mistress calls you"
"Ah…Yes,I will go right away"
She quickly goes to her mistress 'Remilia' room.
"Meiling…you finally come."The little vampire says with her clam face.
"What do you want from me mistress,tea? cake? or…"
"It's about the rumor."
Everything in silent.
'Why she talking about this? Doesn't she the one who said not to talk about this'
Meiling thought but still stay silent.
"…You have been here for so long near patchy and you are the one that I can trust…so…I think you should know what inside that basement."
"…"Meiling still stays silent but Remilia ignores that and still talks about it.
"What inside that room is…my little sister…"
"…!"Meiling looks at her mistress with her eyes full of surprise and full of question.
'Why she do she something like that?'
"You might think why I doing like that if you want to know then go take that lunch to her normally I will ask patchy to give it to her but I want you to see it yourself if you don't want to I don't really mind."even she say that but her eyes tell as if she know that Meiling will say yes.
The chief maid sighs and goes take the food plate.
'If she looked at me right that I couldn't do anything well,she still knows me well.'
After Meilling left Patchouli comse in and that makes Remilia make the face 'I know what she gonna says' face.
"Is it ok to send her to that room."Patchouli says with her face full of worried.
"Nah…she's gonna be all right, she not in that mood today."
"Well…if you say that then it's all right."
"…Don't you look a little too worried?"
"I just don't want my library helper die that's all what about you Remi don't you worry about her?"
"I know that Flan won't do anything to her for sure."
"Why?"
" It's a secret."Remilia smiles at her friend.
"…Well,in the end I will know about it,right?"
"Yep but around 50 years later."
" …Isn't that too LONG…Well!It's not that long that I will call my familar. "
"Not so long after you found your love."Remilia mumbles.
"Did you just say something?"
"Nooooooothing"
As Meiling goes inside that door, the way is a bit dark as she goes down the stairs, she smells something like…blood…
'Maybe it's just my imagination but if she's mistress little sister then she a vampire, ,It's not a surprise that there might be a smell of blood.'
At the end of the stair she sees a huge metal 's look strong that no one could break it.
'I think this is her room.'
She knock the door but no answer.
'Maybe she still sleeps.'
When she tries to open, the door It's already unlock.
'Huh?The door is unlock then why didn't she come out maybe lady Patchouli cast some spell on this door.'
She go inside the room and what she see is…darkness.
'So dark she definitely sleeps right now.'
While she finds a table to place the lunch suddenly she hears a girl voice.
"Patchy…Is that you?"
'She awake?'
"Did you bring lunch to me?"
"…I not Lady Patchouli…young mistress."
"! W..W..Who are you!?"
"The chief maid…I bring your lunch instead of lady Patchouli."
"…The chief maid?Sis tell you to bring lunch to me?"
" you want to see my face I will turn on the lig-"
"No!Don't"
"…Pardon?"
"…I..I don't want anyone to see my face expect my big sis and Patchy…"
"…Understood"
Everything turn silent until Meiling notices something.
"…What is that light?"She say as she looks at the rainbow color light.
"Huh?...No!Don't look!"She hides her rainbow light.
"Why?"
"…B..Because when anyone see this they say it's weird and scary."
"It's not weird and scary at all.I think it's beautiful."
"..R..Really?"
"Yeah"
"You not lie?"
"Why should I lie about that?"
"…"She quiets a little, it's look like she think about something.
"…You can turn on the light now."
"…Huh?"
"I…want to see your face."
"…Understood."
After Meiling turns on the light she saw a young girl with red eyes blond hair and crystal wings.
"Are those wings glow that light."
The young mistress nods her head.
"It's look so beautiful."
The young mistress blushes as she hears those words.
"Y..You are beautiful ,too"
"Huh..?"
"Your red hair…really is beautiful."
"Ahh…thank you"Meiling blushes a little.
After that it turns to silent.
"Err…Well!Is there anyone come here?"Meling breaks the silent.
"…You are the third person who come here…alive."she says with a sad face.
"Wha..What?"Meiling look at her with confuse.
"I…have a very strong power that I can't even control it, that why when someone that I don't know come near me, I will broke that person and that made sis locked me in here."she tells her story as her eyes full of tear.
"I..*sniff*very*sniff*very lonely*sniff*e..even patchy come to talk to me and *sniff*sis,too but they just stay here *sniff* just once a month*sniff*I…*sniff* I…"she says as her tear drop on the bed.
Suddenly Meiling hugs her tightly.
'Why I doing this to her? We just see each other not so long ago.'she thought as she look at her Young mistress crying face.
'But…seeing this face I couldn't not help but hugged her…I wonder what is this feeling.'
In the room only the crying sound in can be hear, after the sad memories they sit on the bed, stay silent and hide their …blushing...face.
"…Thank you for hearing my story."she says with a small smile.
"Ah…No problem."She says and smiles back.
"…Are you leaving soon?..."she asks her face look a little sad.
"Oh…I think I will have to soon or some maid will not do her works"
"…Will you come back?..."she asks with puppy eyes.
'Ooooh…That got me.'
"Of course!"she says with a big smile.
"Really!"her eyes sparkle.
"Yep"
"Then promise?"she says point the little finger to Meiling.
"Promise."she says staring the pinky promise song.
Before Meiling leaves the young mistress calls her.
"Wait!"
"What is it?"
"Your Name!I didn't know your name,yet!"
Meling smiles and says her name.
"Meling,Hong Meiling."
"Meiling…such a nice name."
"Your name,please young mistress"
"Huh?Sis didn't tell you?"
" just tell me to see you without telling your name."
"…It's Flandre…Flandre Scarlet…"
"Flandre,huh?You have a nice name,too."
Flandre blushes a bit.
"Then…see you tomorrow Y-"
"Please call me Flan."she says with a small smile.
Meiling smiles a little
"Then…see you tomorrow Flan"
"…Yes,see you tomorrow Meiling."
On that day Meiling thought 'I will never make her cry…again.'
And that's how those two met, Meiling didn't know that her love for Flandre is staring to grow on that day untill the scarlet mist Incident.
