I love you guys so much!
I do not own Vampire Knight.
Red.
It was everywhere.
Even the moon wasn't free of the red that surrounded me.
My fingers twitched but that was about the only part of my body I could move, everything else felt numb from the loss of blood. Was I drowning? I know I was in water. Sinking to the bottom. But I don't know if you can call it drowning if you don't remember getting into the water in the first place. In the back of my mind I somehow knew I was the cause of all the red around me, the blood from my wounds having leaked into the water for some time now.
How long have I been under?
My glassy eyes stared at the full moon. Is this it? Was I going to die? Well, that sucks since I don't recall what brought me up to this point. Aren't people supposed to have those things that show your past before you go, what do you call them? Flashpacks was it? God, the blood loss is affecting my thinking.
Right when I felt my back touch a hard surface I gave upon any chance of living.
Wait what's that?
It looked like someone swimming towards me.
The red moon outlined their figure as they reached out and began to pull me up to the surface.
'At least I now they'll have a body to put in the casket at my funeral.' I thought as darkness finally took over my thoughts and vision.
xXx
My whole body felt like one big bruise. Everything hurt and I would've groaned in pain if I wasn't so tired. I had had a weird dream about an anime that I watched. It had been about Vampire Knight and the main character, Yuki, had saved me from drowning then she had dragged me to the Chairman. After that I woke up, but I still refuse to open my eyes since I'm so tired. I can feel a soft bed under me so I must've made it home.
I hear voices a few feet away from me. did I leave the T.V. on? No, they sound too real. What are people doing in my apartment?
"Is she really going to be okay?" a girl's voice worriedly asked. "There was a lot of blood in the water when I saved her?"
"Don't worry Yuki," another voice, this time a man's, answered. "She just needs some rest."
"But she's been asleep for two days!"
Were they talking about me?
"She'll wake up soon enough just give her time. And speaking of time you're going to be late to class."
"Oh, you're right! I'll come by again after school to check on her."
"Make good grades my daughter and make Daddy proud!"
"I will!"
The sound of a door closing sounded weird since only one of my ears seemed to be functioning.
"You can open your eyes now." The male's voice from earlier said. "I am aware that you are awake."
"What happened?" I croaked my throat aching from the effort.
"I was hoping you'd tell me."
Finally giving in I opened my eyes and just stared at the scarf fed man in front of me.
Stare.
Stare.
Blink.
And some more staring.
I'm seeing things.
Because standing in front of me was Chairman Cross from the anime I had just been dreaming about.
"Do you know who attacked you? Those wounds look intentional and they were very severe." The Chairman frowned when he saw my confused gaze. "If Yuki hadn't seen the blood on her patrol then you would be dead right now."
"D-dead?" I tried to sit up but when I put pressure on my wrists I let out a yelp and collapsed back onto the bed. Bringing my bandaged hands to my face I saw some blood coloring the white cloth where I must've reopened the wounds. Who or what could have done this? How did I end up in an anime? Why had I been so injured and close to dying? Looking into my memory I was shocked to find one big empty blank spot between my leaving of work and waking up in front of Kaien Cross. "I don't u-understand." My hands began to tremble slightly as I brought them to cover my face. I felt vulnerable. Not knowing what happened left me feeling exposed and confused. How far did the memory loss go back? It didn't feel that long but you never knew. "I c-can't re-remember."
"Ah, don't trouble yourself! It's fine!' the serious attitude that the Chairman had been showing vanished when he saw my distress. "I'll just call your parents! They must be worrying about you!"
If I was in the Vampire Knight world then my parents were still in France. So that means they can't be reached. "They're dead." I felt bad lying to him but it was kind of true. I won't be able to contact any of my friends either. "I really don't have any family or friends you can call..."
"Oh, how horrible!" tears began to fall from his eyes. "Would you mind if I adopted you then! I have an adopted daughter and son already but I don't think they'll mind getting a new sister! Actually I think Yuki will love you! She's been quite worried over your health!"
"I'd love that." I smiled. "I'm sure Yuki and I will become great sisters."
"Aw~" he hugged me and petted the back of my head. "You can call me Papa!"
"Okay...Papa." this seemed to be the right response since he gave a manly (not really) squeal of joy.
He probably could've gone longer on his little celebration of getting a new daughter but a loud grumble from my stomach stopped his movements. But the Chairman laughed when he saw the blush of embarrassment on my face.
"I'll go get you some food!" the chairman skipped out of the room a trail of flowers seeming to follow him. "I'll be back soon~!"
He's more bipolar then I imagined.
Now that I have some time to myself I should think.
I'm in an anime.
Yep, that's about all I was able to think before the Chairman came skipping back in setting a tray in front of me.
"Here I made it myself!"
"You made that in twenty seconds." I stated staring warily at the bowl of brown chunky goop. Is it moving? Yeah, it looks like its moving.
"I made it extra quick so you wouldn't have to wait!"
"Thanks…" I think…
xXx
I spent the rest of the day mostly resting and watching the students from the window, the infirmary was on the second floor so I got a good view of the court yard below. I got time to think and I quickly came to the decision to keep my knowledge of the anime a secret from the others. Too many characters would see it as a threat and want to get rid of me. I was about to settle down for a nap when the door opened and Yuki came rushing in.
"You're awake! Thank goodness, I had begun to think you'd never wake up!" she ran to my bedside smiling. "Father asked me to bring you to dinner! Here let me help you!" she ran around to my right side and helped me into a sitting position so I could pull my legs to the side of the bed. With my arm around her shoulders I was able to stand up but a sense of vertigo hit me and we stood for a minute or two so I could reorient myself. On our way to the door we passed a full length mirror and I was allowed to see what I looked like. I was wearing a white frilly night gown that went to the top of my knees but even that wasn't long enough to hide the dark bruises littering my arms and legs. I had a bandage wrapped around my neck and head. The bandage on my head was covering my right ear. Yuki saw me staring and she gave me a comforting smile. "You have a busted eardrum and some cuts to your wrist, neck, and back and some minor scratches to your face but Father and I were able to patch you up! Come on a nice dinner will cheer you up!"
We slowly made our way across the school with Yuki apologizing most of the way since she hadn't thought the house was that far. But finally we made it and Yuki right away lead me to the dining room near the front door and settled me into a chair.
"All go get you some water!" she called as she ran to the kitchen.
Panting softly from the effort of walking I looked at the nicely decorated room and smiled. It felt…homey.
"Come on Zero! Come meet our new sister!" Yuki handed me a glass of water, that I greedily swallowed, and turned to face the entry way that Zero just entered through with four plates of food balanced on his arms.
The silver teen paused at the door gazing at me for a moment before proceeding to set the food down on the table. "My name's Zero."
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Yuki!"
"My name's Ami."
"Are you French?" Yuki asked her brown eyes sparkling at me. "Because that'd be so cool! You kind of look French and speak with a really nice accent! You even have a French name! Are you?"
"Oui, mademoiselle." I laughed but grimaced halfway when it hurt the wounds on my neck. The Chairman had mentioned something about a wild animal biting me there. I have my suspicions but I don't know if anyone from the Night Class would do something like that to a human. "Yuki you need to calm down. Just listening to you gets me tired."
"You have no idea." Zero rolled his eyes and sat himself in the chair to the left of me.
"Hey!" Yuki huffed plopping into the chair on my other side and sulking.
"So wha-"
"Hello my children!" the Chairman came skipping in and hugged Yuki.
"Hi Father!"
"I'm not your son."
"Hi Papa."
"See Zero, why can't you be like your sisters!"
"Because they're not really my sis-" Zero stopped when he saw the hurt look on Yuki's face. "Can we just eat, the foods getting cold."
My stomach let out another growl and I flushed in embarrassment again.
"Wow, you're still hungry even after the lunch I made you!" the Chairman sat at the chair across from me.
Yuki and Zero looked worriedly at me but I mouthed 'I didn't eat it.' and they relaxed, beginning to eat the food Zero had made.
It was true. The second the Chairman had turned his back on me I had thrown the weird brown stuff out the window and into the bushes for some poor animal to stumble upon. I hope I hadn't unintentionally killed some bunny by doing that.
"So Ami are you going to attend school?" Yuki asked around the spoon in her mouth.
"Ah~ that's right if you are then you'll need to get a uniform! Do you need me to take your measurements?"
"Father!" Yuki cried out as Zero silently stood and smacked him in the head.
"What!"
"That won't be necessary. If I remember correctly I'm pretty sure they're 36, 26, and 35."
"So your memory loss isn't that bad!" Yuki smiled but it faded a little. "You can still remember your parents right?"
"Uh, yeah."
"If you don't mind me asking how did they die exactly?" the Chairman questioned.
Yuki glared at the Chairman for asking such a private question but there wasn't much heat to it since it seemed she was just as curious.
Zero just stared.
"Um…" what movie can I rip off? "It happened when my parents took me to a movie and I got scared half-way through so they took me out the back exit into the alley so I wouldn't disrupt the movie. Then this guy came out and killed my parents in front of me while he took their money and ran off."
Did I just explain the death of 'Batman's' parents?
"That's horrible!" The Chairman and Yuki both stood up and hugged me. Zero just gazed at me since he knew the pain of watching a loved one die without being able to do a thing to stop it.
I feel bad about lying now.
"It's okay, I have you guys now."
"Aw~" Yuki and the Chairman squeezed me harder in their sandwich of love and soon I was left begging for air. After a slightly mean comment from Zero that was meant to save me (I'll thank him later) and some whining from the Chairman, everyone was once again seated in their respective seats.
"Since tomorrow is the weekend we can go into town and buy you some clothes and pajamas!" Yuki was jumping up and down in her seat from the excitement. "This is going to be fun!"
Please review and let me know what you think!
If you're wondering how to pronounce Ami's name then just go to Bing translator and type in 'Ami' for the 'translate from' box then set it to French in the 'translate to' box.
