Chapter 3- Mistrust
When I woke up that afternoon, I was terrified by my surroundings, but the warm body below me somehow comforted me. And then I looked at my…paw? No it wasn't mine, it was different. They were pale white; they were longer and different in size. I started to cry. I was afraid, what was I?
And then I felt myself being lifted off the warmth and saw a stranger, black hair, red eyes, pale skin, and then I started to whimper and cry more. I could see regret on his face when he grabbed me that way. I didn't understand anything. I was terrified by my surroundings. How did I get here? And then the memory, of the red light and warm water, came back to me. I fell back on the stranger with my head between his neck and shoulders, not caring if he was a stranger. Only wanting his comfort was my priority this second. And then I heard something nearby…open, I guessed. But I didn't stop crying even though the black haired stranger got off the … cushion and then he kneeled beside the bed and asked me more questions I had not paid any attention to. I also seemed to be covered in a blanket. I had no idea what they were talking about. The stranger that came through a wooden surface, I mean. The stranger had yellow hair, green eyes, a soft smile and looked like a gentle…stranger. They didn't look like kittens, so what were they? I just wanted to explore the outside of my home… I miss mommy. They were still talking, but I paid no attention to them and then the black haired stranger seemed to try and comfort me. Soon enough, though, I felt myself drift off to sleep.
"Kaname-sama, I have brought her clothes. I didn't know what her sizes were, so I kind of guessed… she's asleep" Ichijo stated as he spotted her on the far side of the bed, away from Kaname-sama.
"Yes, she both looked worn out and tired, or she fainted from hunger…I mean, she does look a little pale."
"I called Momo-san so she could dress the girl." Ichijo said as he let Amomoki Wakabi in through the door. "And you should probably get changed as well Kaname-sama" Ichijo added.
"Right" Kaname Kuran agreed.
"Don't you worry, when I get done with her, she's going to look like a doll" Momo said happily.
"We just need her dressed, so we can take her to Kaien Cross and figure out who she is." Ichijo reminded Momo.
"I know, but there's no problem with her being dressed well" Momo explained happily.
Kaname grabbed himself a pair of clothes and went into the rest room to get dressed. Ichijo went out on the terrace and into the cold weather and snow. At this time of year it was okay for vampires like him and a pureblood like Kaname-sama to go out during the day, since the sun wasn't as bright in this winter season. Even so, the snow carried sorrowfulness throughout the air. It was a sorrow type of year.
