Red velvet death book prologue
it was a nice cool day in London, vidia deathstone was done folding and drying some sheets on the clothes line." wow… that sure was tiring…maybe I'll ask mother for a nice drink!" she thought. She went inside with the folded sheets in a basket in her arms. She took of her boots and slid of her coat and lazily tossed it aside. She wasn't really the one who was a fan of chores and hobbies, but to get the family a little more money in their pockets she'd do anything…her family had been in debt for a long 2 years. She was surprised that they could even pay the rent! what kept their house pay able was that her mother her father and herself had one pair of shoes, a merely puffy jacket, an outfit, no furniture apart from three sheets and three pillows and a small table with no chairs.
she came in the house to see her mom calculating numbers…as usual. "Mother may I have some water?" she asked tiredly. "I'm so sorry dear. But we only have a liter left for the rest of the week, and it's only Sunday dear…"her mother replied through teary how she wished for her daughter to have the luxuries of just simply getting a glass of water without worrying that it might finish before they can get could see the tears in her mothers eyes. she only smiled and said" I understand mother…don't stress your self out ya'here?"Her mother returned the smile and nodded.
She loved her daughter dearly. For she had suffered a devastating miscarriage 12 years ago. Then she was blessed with this beautiful daughter, always knew just how to cheer her mother up in any situation, and it warmed her mother's heart dearly. Then vidia thought to herself 'maybe I'll go see if Mr. Peters needs help.' was a baker on her street. Ever so often she would ask if he needed any help. in return she would get a loaf of bread or two and 10 walked to her door once again, and slipped on her jacket and boots and said" mother I'm going to see if Mr. peters needs help." she said as she opened the door."Ok dear" mother replied.
She stepped of from the house step onto the cobblestone ground. She walked through the busy streets of London .there was a grocer who tossed her an orange" wow thanks mister!" she exclaimed. He smiled back and said "no problem lil' girl" this was true vidia had only turned 10 the other day. She was so happy to have the orange she was giggling until she bumped into a lady" I'm so sorry!"Vidia exclaimed feeling a bit lady had blonde hair and beautiful blue couldn't help but notice…she was part of aristocracy! This was none other than Rachel phantomhive!
Now realizing this was way more than a simple accident seeing that she was pregnant she started pleading not to send her to jail." don't worry little one…you were excited to have that orange! This was no ones fault really." she said kindly stroking vidia's red hair vidia smiled. then Rachel gave her five gasped" spend it wisely young one…"Rachel said. Then a frown spread across Rachel's face."Hmmm little one? What in heavens name happened to your teeth?" she pointed out looking at vidia's yeah…how could vidia forget…she was born with these sharp jagged teeth. These have caused her trouble ever since she was small among other children when she was small.
They'd call her names like monster, devil and weirdo and other various names that hurt her to the heart…oh these I'm afraid I was born with this ma'am."vidia replied politely and quietly" their very….unique" Rachel replied smiling warmed vidia's heart, no one has ever sad any thing nice about them apart from her mother and father who tried to cheer her up about it." thank you ma'am…for the money…and your kind words"vidia said politely before walking away to the bakers shop.
Meanwhile
"What are we going to do Arthur I checked and calculated but I can't find I way to pay off this months rent." Arthur (vidia's dad)"the only thing we can…Lillian I know you won't agree at first but. The only way is to sell vidia away…"Lillian looked at her husband with eyes as big as saucers. no way was she gonna give away hr only child, her only miracle, her own flesh and blood…."a-a-Arthur?" she said trying to keep from bursting out in tears." I know dear. But we have no choice…if we keep her. The government is going to take her away from us because we'll have no where to go. So either way vidia is gone." he said through sobs."Well, where do we sell her?" Lillian asked while tearing up." we'll sell her to a circus for she can find her talents, earn money, get better food and meet other unique people…"Arthur explained. "i-i-I guess we'll bring her tomorrow then…"Lillian sighed. Of course she loved her daughter dearly. And this was the only painfull, sad and depressing way to let her daughter have a brighter future.
Next day
"Oh my mother!, we never left in a carriage since 2 years ago! Were we going?"Vidia asked excitedly bouncing in her seat. Her mother only looked out the window to hide her tearing eyes, and her father looked down at the carriage couldn't help but think…about this all. First off when the tax collector came by and mother said she'll pay it off next week…usually there was enough for a week, but why was she gonna pay it off next week? Second off, it's been years since they last ordered a ride in a carriage but why suddenly order one now? Third off why weren't her parents speaking to her? Let alone to each other as well? Last but not least…WHERE ARE THEY GOING? This had pondered vidia the moment she saw the carriage pull up to their …the carriage came to a stop at a…circus!?Why a circus? This all didn't make sense and was getting weird and suspicious. Then ring master greeted 's father spoke" we brought her" WHAT? SO THIS HAS TO DO WITH ME? Vidia thought. Then her mother turned to her."Vidia darling…you work her now. We'll see you when there's enough money around" her mother sobbed. Then her mother and father threw themselves at her in an emotional group hug. "Mother! Father!" she screamed as she watched her parents drive away.
1 month later
The thought of vidia being in the circus turned worse by the second. She was nicknamed "sharktooth".people wondered what she was as they came to her cage; they looked at her laughed at her teeth and called her names. This hurt vidia a lot. She wished that her mother and father were here to comfort her and protect her, but she knew this is what she has to do for her parent's and herself some day a roof over their heads. She wasn't treated the best but it still could have been better. She never got along with anybody, when she talked to anyone they'd say: what happened to your teeth? So she kept her mouth shut the whole time apart from eating, praying and explaining that her teeth are natural. One day the ring master opened her cage. "Go in, and hurry it up" he snapped coldly to a young boy with red hair. He went inside her cage and went to the far side. The ring master smiled at vidia
"I brought you a friend" he said. The ringmaster was the kindest to vidia among them all, because he thought her story was sad and pities her. All was glanced over at the boy. Her had short red hair, glasses and looked about ten. But the strange part is that he seemed to be staring blankly at some object on the tried to see what he was looking at but it was too far away."Umm…hello"vidia said politely to the boy. The boy turned to look at her."Hi"he said covering his mouth."Uh…what's your name?" she asked quietly"grell Sutcliff" he said removing his 's eyes opened wide when she saw sharp teeth like her own.
She never thought anyone would have teeth like her own. Then she took another look at him. Red hair like hers, glasses like hers and teeth like hers…then she sweat dropped and thought 'is this some kind of joke…are they trying to mock me?'. Her thoughts were interrupted when grell bent over and picked up the item he had been staring at. "What was that?"Vidia asked "a lose button" he said hiding the object behind his back. "So what's your name?" he said nervously trying to change the subject."Vidia darkstone"she replied suspiciously looking at the grell.
8 years later
Vidia's parents had died of hunger 5 years ago. Now vidia was stuck at this circus forever. After a long day of working, night fell. "Vidia…are you still awake?" asked grell."Yeah why?" she asked. After 8 years they started to get along well and became good friends. "can I show you something?"Grell replied. "JUST WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT BOY? DON'T YOU THINK WE'RE TOO YOUNG?"Vidia yelled "no! I mean yes I mean-I wanted to show you something, not like that!" He replied nervously blushing. He dug into his pocket and took out a key. "So what's that key for?"Vidia asked curiously. "the day that I came to this circus I found this key that the careless ring master had dropped conveniently next to our cage." he said 's eyes went wide"oh so that's what you were looking at when you got here"
vidia said thinking how it perfectly made sense. but… grell had the key all along?! "So what are you impling"she asked "that we should run away" he replied. "I would have told you sooner but we would have not stood a chance at running away when we were brats" he added. They waited till all was .grell opened the gate and helped vidia out. Everything was going well. or so they thought…"escapers!"Yell'd the ring master. The circus crew ran to catch up with them. "Run faster!"Grell yelled. The knife juggler of the circus threw a knife…which hit grell in the back of his collapsed, vidia stopped."Grell!"She screamed in horror "k-k-keep going…"grell said breathing lightly"no! I can't leave you behind!" she yelled "just go! This wound can't be helped…I'll be sure to die j-j-just g-go! He said struggling with was completely confused. She didn't know weather to carry out his dying wish or to save her friend. She could only watch as he got paler, weaker and blood gushing out of him. The circus crew was getting closer. She got down on her knees and held grell tightly." please…don't go" she sobbed "it was nice meeting you. I hope we meet again some day vid-"…and he was gone.
The circus crew caught up, and took her back to her cage.2 years passed since grell's always kept the knife he had been stabbed with. As memories of him. Life was getting harder she barely got paid and was getting weaker. She was sick of everything so sick…that she took the knife. And stabbed her heart…now she woke up in a strange white space, as if nothing were there then a voice said. "Welcome to the reaper realm, you'll start your knew life as a grim reaper, but in order to become a full fledged reaper you'll need to go through reaper training…good wishes to you" and the voice faded.
