Oha. :3 Uhmm. This is my FIRST EVER FANFICTION. And I apologize in advance if I suck. Like, really, really, suck. . I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. :( To tell the truth, I'm not actually a confident person so. Yeah. There's a 99% chance this thing won't be finished. O_O Anddd. I did NOT proofread this so. You know~ :3Gr
Oh. By the way. I do NOT own Vampire Knight AT ALL. :3
++ PROLOGUE ++
"Young miss, a letter from the Udou household has arrived for you." A man in a black swallow-tail suit held up a circular tray containing a white letter atop it. The orange-haired young girl took it and fingered its red wax seal.
"Udou, huh?" She did not crack a smile nor show any emotion but there was a slight amusement in her tone. Carefully, she opened it with a black letter opener that was lying on her table. She took the contents out and curtly went over the whole letter. When she finished reading, she cautiously slid it back to its envelope and placed it back on the tray which her butler stood holding. "I'm going to send a letter back. I'll be calling on you when I'm done and I want you to find someone to deliver it as soon as possible."
The butler gave a curt nod. "Anything more you wish to command, young lady Rima?"
"No." She retorted, fiddling with the ribbon on her dress. "I'll be calling on you when I need it. Please, I would like some time to think by myself."
"I understand. Please feel free to call on me anytime." Again, the butler gave a curt nod before exiting her room.
When he was finally gone, Rima let out a sigh and leaned on the back of her chair with her eyes closed and fingers massaging her forehead. It was too stressful for a 16-year-old girl to be the young lady of such a distinguished family. She had to act nice, accept letters and send back ones with colorful words she didn't want to use. It was her responsibility to have good connections with the other renowned households through talking nicely to them, attending their parties and from time to time, flirting with their young masters. Everybody expects her to choose someone from those young masters but the truth is, she doesn't even like them or the idea of having to choose anyone at all.
She opened her eyes and met the medium pile of to-read papers stacked on her desk. Rima took a deep breath and was about to start when she noticed a photograph sticking out from her drawer. She took it and the ruins of an old building greeted her.
"Oh, right. I promised to buy this land if it was good for anything." She muttered under her breath and pinned the photograph together with a sticky note saying: must visit alone, ASAP.
Was it that bad? T_T Please tell me it wasn't. Come to think of it, it's my first time to write something that's not in the first person point of view. It's kinda hard to adjust. Sooo. Like I say, don't judge a fanfiction by its Prologue. . Uhmm. And because I AM a no-confidence person. Please do tell me if it's bad. Or good. Or something. :3
