Bloody Rabbit
Chapter 1: Unexpected encounter
"Don't go!"I yelled at my best friend.
I'm sorry, Alice, but I need to go..." I started to sob as I can only see little details thanks to my wet and heavy eyelashes.
"We're just 6 years old Oz..." I told him, trying to change his mind. But he just looked down and shakes his head. I wipe my tears away. Turn around and leave running.
"ALICE!" Those are the last words before everything in this world faded away for me.
I wake up sweating. "It was just a dream..." I get up from my bed and walk over to my mirror. I sigh. I've been having these weird dreams for about a month now. But, the strange thing is, I feel as if this has happened before. As if I've been there. On that place, where there's only one little sakura tree, in spring. I can't even see the face of this so called "Oz" All I know is that he's a blond boy. Sort of girlish. And every time I have this dream is like a different part of a story. I sit down in front of my mirror and start brushing my soft, long, brown hair. I start humming a song of my little fragments of memory. When I finish doing my hair, I stand up and walk over to my closet. I put on my usual clothes. I finish and walk down to the dining room where my friends where already eating.
"Well look who just woke up! It's stupid rabbit-san!" This guy pisses me off a lot.
"Oh. Shut up, Gil!" I sigh in frustration and sit down on my usual sit. I look at my plate and all I see is toast, eggs, bacon, etc. Just the usual. I'm getting tired of always doing the same routine. Waking up, getting ready, eating, and beating the shit out of this guy, etc.
"Alice? Are you feeling alright?" My friend Sharon asks me. I look up and give her a reassuring smile.
"I'm alright! Please don't worry about me!" She looks suspiciously at me but smiles and continues eating.
"Your sure don't seem like your having a decent sleep, Alice-sama" Says Break, the butler of this house. I sigh.
"It's just that I've been having this weird dreams for almost a month now and well I haven't been able to sleep well because of it" He stands up and stretches his hand out to me.
"Would you like to accompany me to go grocery shopping today, Alice-sama?" I smile. Break is always trying to make me feel better. I nod and stand up from my seat.
"Were leaving!" Says Break.
"Take care!"Says Sharon one-san.
We start walking towards the market place. Thirty minutes later we arrive.
"If you would like Alice-sama, look around the place but you need to be here in none less than two hours" I nod and start to take my own path around the market. I look at all the stands. But only one took my breath away. It had a mysterious pocket watch. It sort of looked liked something that I saw in those strange dreams. I just ignore it and keep looking around. Without noticing I bump with somebody. I fall to the floor and lightly hit my head.
"Ouch!" I start touching my head to look for any bumps.
"I'm very sorry!" It was a male voice. I look up and look at a brown haired boy. He smiles at me and helps me stand me up. He had a black cape. He was looking around as if he was watching out for something. He looks to his left and I look too. I look at some angry man running towards us. The boy puts his hoody on again and grabs my hand.
"Get ready to run!"
"What?"I was very confused right now. Then suddenly he starts pulling me while running. It was as if he was running away from those angry men. I look back and see those angry men following us. I'm starting to think I was right.
He suddenly pulls me into a dark alley way. "What the hell is-?" He covers my mouth. "Shhhh!" I start to try and pull away his hand off my mouth. I look with my eyes to the side and see the angry men looking for us but they can't find us so they leave. I hear the boy sigh in relief and he lets his hand that was covering my mouth drop to his side. I take a deep breath and look at him in the eye with an angry look.
"What the hell was that?" He tries to calm me down but I just ignore him.
"Why did you pull me with you all of a sudden? Are you some kind of stalker?" He shakes his head.
"I'm sorry but as you could see those guys wanted to kill us!"
"US? Since when did this become MY problem?" He chuckles and scratches the back of his head.
"Well since the time I bumped with you."I get angry, turn around and start to leave. He grabs my hand and turns me around. Then the most shocking thing happened to me. He kissed me, on the lips! My eyes widen. He wraps his arms around my waist as if he was holding me tight so I didn't get away. I start to struggle but his grip was too tight. Some strange liquid starts getting inside my mouth. It was like the taste of blood. I start to panic to this taste. But after a while he loosens his grip and I push him away. I start to breathe heavily. He smiles at me like he was sure that he had done something good right now.
"There we go, now you're my Bloody Rabbit!" I look at him with an angry and confused look.
"What is that? Bloody Rabbit?" He chuckles and grabs my hand. "In other words, your now engaged with me" My eyes widen. I stand there, paralyzed to his words.
"W-what d-do you mean, e-engaged?" I couldn't even speak right.
"You see, the reason I was running away from those guys it's because, well, I stole something from them. Something important. And well, right now I need to go get prepared for my coming of age ceremony. And I needed to find, before the coming of age ceremony, a "Bloody Rabbit" which is a girl which will be my future wife. And, well, I saw you and you looked nice so I picked you."
I just stand there paralyzed. I couldn't say anything. I am now engaged with a boy I just bumped into. I don't even know how he really looks like. Not with that cape on! I sigh. This must all be one of those strange dreams I've been having. I pinch myself to make sure. It hurt, it really isn't a dream.
"What are you pinching yourself for?" The boy says. I turn around and look at him. "Are we really engaged now?" He nods. I'm really calm for a situation like this but I feel like this was supposed to happen. Just to unreveal my past. "Well, are you ready to go, Bloody Rabbit?" I look at him confused. "Where are we going?" "Of course, to my house" My eyes widen, shocked. "What?" He nods and grabs my hand. Once again he puts his hoody on and we start walking in another direction. What could this boy possibly be planning. I don't even know his name. Now that I think about it... Should I ask him his name?
One hour later, we arrive to some big gates. I looked up amazed. He opens the gates and we enter the backyard of something that seemed like a mansion. We were walking through a very beautiful garden. Not even my garden was this beautiful. When we arrive at the front door he opens the door. When we enter all I see is a very long line of butlers and maids vowing and saying,
"Welcome home, Master" I was seriously freaked out.
"This is my Bloody Rabbit. I will take her to my room. Please notice my Uncle." He said to the butlers and maids. "Yes, Master." They all responded at once. We start going up some stairs when suddenly I see a big painting of a boy with blonde hair. My eyes widen. That painting closely resembled the image of the boy in my dreams. But I can't really tell because I have never seen his face. All I know it's his name.
When we arrive at this boy's room, a butler opens the door for him. We enter the room and the door closes behind me. "Uhm, is this your room?" He nods. He takes his black cape off and by suprise he had a rather attractive type of clothing. Almost suited for a prince. He looks at me and says, "Im going to take a bath, by now make yourself comfortable" I nod and sit on the edge of his bed. His room smelled in some sort of way, really... nice? I look around and I see a bag. I go over to it, and open it out of curiosity. My eyes widen in shock. It's the same clock stole my attention in the market.
Minutes later, that boy comes out of the bath. He had only a single towel around his waist and was using another one to dry his hair. I was a little bit confused, but for a moment I thought I saw a blond hair come out of the towel. I sigh and shake my head. It couldn't possibly be true. When I come back to reality I blush a burning deep red colour. I quickly stand up and cover my eyes.
"Oh my gosh! Cover yourself!" I turn around trying to ignore that he only had a single towel.
"What's wrong with it? You're my Bloody Rabbit, there isn't anything wrong!" He chuckles as if this was some sort of joke. I hear a deep sigh. Then something heavy but light falls to the ground. I feel a light touch on my shoulder. Like the touch of a hand. That hand turns me around and suddenly I feel a light touch and the edge of my lips. Every second that passed, the touch on my lips got deeper and more passionate. Then I realized this boy just kissed me again. I open my eyes to be able to see the scene that was happening right now. My eyes widen as I see a very different boy kissing me. I tried to pull away but he just held me tight. What was happening right now? Why am I being kissed by a totally different person? I don't even know a boy who's blonde! Only the one from my dreams!
I let a little gasp escape my mouth. Could this boy be the one from my dreams? The boy that right now is kissing me so passionately? I'm so confused...
