Alone
-X-x-
Somehow Neige had made it to her minor without attracting more attention to them.
Slowly closing the door behind her, with the help of her foot, she made her way into the dark corridors of the mansion. Every step she took echoed in the back and front of the hollow dark hall. Reaching a door less frame she moved into the empty living room. 'In has nothing of 'living', it's indeed a contrasting name.' nei thought letting out a giggle.
Walking towards the cozy sofa, she laid the boy down, miraculously the white furry jacket kept him warm even though it was soaked with water.
Moving the boy until nei found an angle where he looked comfortable. She took her lives through a creamy color door, which led to a surprising lit hall.
Opening yet another door she took a couple of towels. Walking deeper into the hallway, taking very quiet steps that echoed back at her. Taking in a deep breath nei let the humming sound of the song, that had brought her new memories; for that song was what had led her to this 'palace' as she had first call her home.
"Rou to ishe de tsukure, stukure, tsukure. Rou to ishi de tsukure. My fair Lady." Nei sang as she walked into the corridors, which were starting to become dimmer at light.
"Rou to ishi de kuchihateru, kuchihateru, kuchihateru, Rou to ishi de kuchihateru, My Fair Lady." As in cue all the lights of the corridor and rooms turned on, illuminating the lonely place. Humming the song she made her way deeper into the corridor.
"Lets see, he is around my height so…" living her statement unfinished Nei walked into an open room.
Centering the room was a rather big bed, with pillows of all shapes and sizes; both bed and pillows were an elegant jet-black color. In the middle of the bed laid a single snow-white bunny rabbit with extra long ears, bright red eyes and a dark dress.
The shades protecting the bed were silk wine curtains pulled neatly to the edges of the bed. At the foot of the bed was a reasonable sizes treasure chest, with a beautiful landscape painted to the sides.
To the side a mirror door reflected nei, and an organized wooden desk. Walking by a mannequin, with an unfinished red dress, which stand beside the mirror door. Nei opened the door reviling a small walk-in closet; walking in she grabbed warm cotton t-shirt an and an undershirt, both navy blue. Making her way out of the closet she opened a couple of drawers taking out a couple of socks and shorts; living everything on top of the neatly lay bed. Walking up to the second door in the room, turning the light on she walked in into a fair sizes bathroom. Walking up to the porcelain bathtub at the far corner, turning the water on with luke-warm water, letting the water filled the tub in a slow manner. Taking her lives from the white room into the lonely empty room; letting her eyes wander around, just to let them land on the closed window covered with wine colored curtains. A low sigh escaped her lips as she briefly closed her eyes.
Silently listening the rushing water inside the tub and the dripping sound of the storm outside, thunders roaring with might, and from the gap of the curtains dimly illuminating the inside of the room. Another crack of thunder was heard as the head of the young girl wander.
'My child, you are notta long, when ever thunder frights you I shall be there for you.' The voice echoed in Nei's head as though it were in the room itself. Cherishing the memory and the voice she came to love so. Recalling how she had enter the room of the old women crying, that freighting night was also the best night she have had since she had left her 'home', for it was the day that the lady of the house had told her to call her 'abueleta' or 'abuelita'. (1)
A sad sigh escape her lips, pulling a sad smile along the ways.
"I hope he is not the one Grell was talking about, but if he were to be him what happen to his companion… then again Grell said that he had died." Letting out a frustrated sigh with a confused troubled expression on her face nei made her way into the bathroom.
Turning the running water off, nei walked through the door connecting the bath and room, and the last one connecting the empty corridor. In what seemed like a blink of an eye nei stud to the boy's side.
Lifting the child up she let her mind drift, every step she took seem like three long steps. In an instant she was once again in the room she had been not more then five…no three minutes ago. Moving the cloths that lay on the bed; she gently laid the boy down, reaching for his gold colored bottoms nei started to strap him from his upper cloths. Once the boy lay shirtless nei's eyes were caught gazing onto the boy's back.
"Is it a burn? Wander how he got it?" Nei's voice asked to no one in particular but herself. "I should probably heal it, it doesn't really look healthy." Living the mark alone, she hands made their way to the boys lower region. Taking off his soaked dark socks.
Grabbing the towel she had gather with the other pieces of cloth.
Closing her eyes she took off his dark color shorts, being guide only by the sound of fabric. Covering the towel on the boy's lower features. Taking off her damped boots and gloves, she left them in the unorganized pile of cloths. Taking the fainted boy in her arms, Nei walked into the small bath, the gentle flouting steam letting off delicate lavender aroma.
Carefully lowering the boy into the warm tub.
'I, wander if Grell was wrong when he told me about he was human, or was it perhaps the heavy rain that fogged my senses. Was it his time with a demon felt him with a demonic sent on him.'
"I should probably call Grell and probably Madam as well, for check up that is, I wander if she found Frey. Hmm?" Making a small note to self, Nei started to shampooing the boy's scalp.
Happy with her work nei grabbed a cream color bath rope, covering the boy who somehow did not fell from her grip. Taking the boy back to the room, removing the damped covers where the boy had lay a while ago.
Drying him off, the silent girl made her way up and down the boy, giving him a new change of cloth. Walking into the bathroom she opened a small door; taking out a new fresh bed covers. Walking out the bathroom the lights went off.
Covering the boy up, nei took the covers and cloth lying on the ground. She walked down towards the open door; stopping only when hearing the voice of the boy.
"It's…ord…rder…sebaschan…s…stay…me." Forcibly the boy said, patting for air. Turning around, as to make sure that the boy was in fact asleep.
Giving him her full attention, nei noted that he was indeed asleep. An echoing constant ringing snapped her of her gazing trance. Closing the door as she exit the room, walking down the hall nei came upon a table with a ringing phone and a small flower arrangement.
Putting the wet cloth down, nei reach to grab the phone; putting it over her ear. "Hello, this i.." "HELLO! DARLING how are you doing! Do you want me to come over since there is a storm? How are things doing? Have you seen Madam today! Have you eaten?" came a high pitch voice from the phone. "Hello to you to, I'm doing fine thank you. I would love for you to come over, not only because of the storm; I have something I want you to see. Things are going to explendid, and yes I saw madam today, also no I have not eaten yet. Now may I ask you how are you doing in this fine day grell?" "I, My dear, I'll be right over you just hold on okay? Tah tah."Nei put the phone down letting soft giggles escape her mouth. "I should put some tea for when he arrives; I hope he doesn't…" nei was cut off as a loud knocks and the doorbell rang throughout the state. Living the cloth in front of the table, making her way to the door.
Grabbing the doorknob tightly nei opened the door, as she opened the door a flash of light and the electric sound of thunder fuel the air.
A large shadow was cast onto nei as the light dimmed itself, so did the shadow over nei.
"NEI! Darling I came as soon as I could as promised!" came a high-pitched voice, which had been on the phone not to long ago.
Walking into the house where the light cast itself upon the new comer, his soaked fiery long red hair, his bangs dripping in front of his eyes. A red raincoat with an umbrella closed being hold to his side.
"Grell!" "The one and only my dear!" said male greet with a grin decorating his face.
"HEY! Why are you wearing white and silver? Is it that you don't love me any more?" asked grell dramatically pointing out the colors and waving his arms around.
"That is not it, you see the key I gave madam seems to be coming in handy for her that is. All of my beautiful red dresses have 'disappear' with the exception of the one I'm making. It's not that I don't love you, it's just I been robed." Nei's voice found itself explaining. A smile took over as she saw how the man in front of her relaxed his dramatically stress body.
"Well then… How come she has key's, while I do not?'' but you do have them, it's just you always leave them here." Giggled out nei.
"Well then, we'll go and get you some new red dresses, the most beautiful red we can get." Sang Grell while gracefully moving dripping cold water onto the tile floor.
Another flash of light came trough the open door, making the red headed jump a little. "That is, when the sun comes out." Grell said with a smile.
"How rude of me, please let's go to the living hall, do you wish to change I still have a change of cloth from before." Question nei closing the door, living all the natural noise out.
"That won't necessary; how ever there is something intriguing me." "What would that be?" Nei's question wasn't left floating in the air for long as Grell pointed at her way. "Well first of all why are you soaked to the bone? CHILD YOU WILL MAKE YOURSELF SICK!" "Well you se…" "No, No I'm not done ranting yet." Said grell, as his hands were place on his hips. "Sorry." Whispered nei. "It's alright, now tell me who else is in this house, other then yours truly and yourself?" question the man taking his raincoat off and shoes, placing them inside the small closet neat the main door.
"That is what I wanted to show you. You see today I went to the park where I meet up with big sister Ann, please don't tell her I called her that.
Anywho I made my way to the small fountain behind the small forest, there I dipped my toes in when there was a loud splash on the opposite side of the fountain, when I went over and checked there laid on his belly a young boy, just floating in the water." "So the person, is here? NOW?" cut grell off. "Yes, he is in my room, he hasn't awoken since…well he never opened his eyes."
"NEIGE! How can you bring a complete stranger to your home, especially when there is no one here! If it weren't for me calling and coming over who knows what would have happened to you!"
"Oh please don't be over dramatic he has been asleep since I found him; also I was about to call you when you did." Nei ranted back to the stubborn grown up in front of her, handling him a fresh towel.
"I see, well who is this person?" "I don't know…but." "BUTTTT?" Sang Grell standing the word, in a successful attempt to make nei smile. "He unconsciously called for someone, and he…well he has a sorted sent to him but I wasn't sure if it was the rain or if that is his sent.
"I see, well may I see this fellow?" "Of course, but wouldn't you like some tea first, besides, even if he were to be someone to be aware of; he wouldn't harm me because I have you." Nei smile as she walked into the living room.
Grell hold a grin as he shock his head, in an amusement manner. "You little runt, fine I will drink tea and some cake if you must." "My Pleasure." Smiling warmly nei disappear into the gigantic kitchen.
