Chapter 4
I groaned when I felt something cold and wet nudge my face. I reached up to bat it away when something licked my hand. My eyes shot open and I quickly sat up. Big mistake. As soon as I sat up, I instantly felt queasy. I covered my mouth and sat still for few minutes. After waiting, I finally could move without throwing up.
I looked around the room I was in. I was sitting on a very nice looking bed, with dark grey curtains hanging off dark ebony posts that towered over the bed. I looked to my left when something licked my hand. Slush looked at me with his large blue eyes. I smiled and picked him up. I scratched behind his ears and continued to look around.
There were large windows on the wall behind the bed covered by black curtains. The sheets were the same shade of grey as the curtains and the blanket was an inky black. I looked down at my clothes. I had on a plain black baggy shirt that was not mine. I sniffed it. 'It smells like…..mint and…..something...strong…' I blushed when I realized that I was being creepy. I moved the blanket and saw that my pants were still the same. I frowned, confused. I shook my head and looked for my stuff.
I spotted my things on the chair a few feet away from the bed on a nearby chair. I sighed before sitting Slush down. He looked at me confused. I shook my head and slowly turned my body so that my legs were dangling over the bed. I took a deep breath before slowly getting up. My legs were still weak so when I took one step, I immediately crumpled onto the floor. My fall was loud enough that someone outside heard it because a few moments later, I heard footsteps rushing towards the room. Someone opened the door.
"Anna-sempai!" I heard Haruhi yell. I looked up from my place on the floor as she rushed over to me, quickly helping me back up. More footsteps rushed into my room.
"Anna-chan! Are you okay?!" Honey said loudly. I blinked, shocked that he was even here. I then felt the pain come back, but tried not to show it. I nodded, dumbfounded. He smiled brightly before going to play with Slush. Mori came in a few minutes later, carrying a tray. I looked at Haruhi for an explanation. She sighed and explained everything to me.
"So, they took you back to their place, where we are now. It's around 7:46 right now. You were out for a few hours." She said, a hint of worry coloring her voice after she finished explaining what happened. I smiled and patted her shoulder, wincing when I used my sore had. She then looked even more worried.
"I'm okay now! I have a slight headache and my hand's sore, but that's nothing to worry about!" I said, trying to cheer her up a bit. It seemed like it was working because she cracked a smile.
"Hey, can you give me my phone? I need to let Robin and Sarah know what happened." I said. Haruhi's smile dropped before she looked guiltily at me.
"They already know…" She trailed off uncertainly. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Why?" I asked feeling the headache get stronger. She stared straight at the blanket when she answered me.
"Because Erin told them…...And she knows because Kyoya-san told her…" I looked at her wide-eyed, ignoring my pounding headache.
"Does that mean….The Host Club knows?!" I asked. She grimaced and nodded. I stared at my hands, trying to ignore the headache that would not stop before a cup of tea was placed in them. I looked up to see that Mori had given it to me. I smiled slightly and nodded my thanks. He grunted back before going to stand next to Honey, who was playing with Slush. I shook my head before drinking the warm tea. 'Hm, this tastes good.' I thought as I looked at Haruhi again, slowly feeling the pain stop.
"Where are they now?' I asked.
"The Host Club, along with Erin, Sarah and Robin are all downstairs, waiting for you to meet them down there. Robin said that if they all were up here, that you would shut down completely." She said. I nodded. I would. I don't like being surrounded by tons of people. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I finished the tea and stood up. I wobbled slightly, but Haruhi helped steady myself.
"Okay. Let's go then." Haruhi looked at me, unsure. I smiled at her.
"It's all good! I'm feeling much better after the tea." I said oddly happy before gently removing her hands from my back and walking slowly towards the door. Haruhi followed quickly after me, keeping an eye on me. Honey and Mori walked out behind us a minute later. Before we made it to the stairs, I asked her a question.
"Who's shirt am I wearing?" She gave me a sly grin before replying.
"Mori-sempai's." I blushed when she said that, but I don't know why. I peaked behind me to look at Mori, but he was already looking at me. I blushed some more and his eyes widened slightly when he caught me looking. I quickly turned back around, ignoring Haruhi's smirk. We finally made it to the top of the stairs. Before I could step down, Haruhi stopped me.
"Tamaki-sempai was worried about you, as well as the others…..So don't hold it against them if they ambush you okay?" She said. I smiled and nodded before walking down the stairs.
I worriedly bit my lip while waiting for Anna to come down with Haruhi. There was a loud thump and Haruhi, Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai went up there to check on her. I shuddered, remembering when I found out the news from Kyouya.
"What do you mean Anna was attacked!?" I shouted over the phone. We may have just met but I do care about her. And from what I've heard from Sarah, Anna's a really caring girl, even if she doesn't show it. I heard Kyoya sigh before starting again.
"Erin, you need to calm down for a moment. Anna-san was attacked by some men. She's alright now, but she has a large cut over her left eyebrow. She'll wake up feeling nauseous and she'll have a slight headache but, she'll be okay." He said calmly. I sighed and nodded, even though he couldn't see it.
"Fine. I'm telling Sarah and Robin. Give me the address." I demanded. He told me their address and quickly said goodbye before hanging up. I sighed before heading back into Sarah's room.
"Hey Eri, what movie do you…" She trailed off, noticing the look on my face. Her teal-blue eyes softening in concern.
"What happened?" She asked softly, coming up to stand in front of me. I sighed and told her what happened. Her eyes widened before she ran to her phone and called Robin. I grabbed my coat and called for my driver. We left after locking up and headed to Robin's work place. We picked her up and headed to Mori's house. I held Sarah's hand while she nervously chatted about nothing. Robin sat silently the entire ride, face pinched in worry.
We got there in about a half hour. Both Sarah and Robin rushed in, shocked to find the entire Host Club sitting in there. I wasn't though, considering how caring Tamaki is.
I was brought out of my mind when there were footsteps coming down the stairs. Anna was walking slowly. The first thing I noticed was her hair. One half was cut really short while the other half reached just below her chin. She also had blue highlights too. I also noticed that her face looked pale, but she seemed fine. There was a bandage over her left eyebrow. There was also a bandage over her right hand too and a bandage over her left wrist. Her glasses seemed okay, no scratches or anything. Her dark brown eyes looked tired but overall, she seemed okay.
Although, she was obviously wearing a shirt that wasn't hers. She had a faint trace of a blush too…..Hm, interesting. Everyone crowded around her, Sarah being the main one babbling over her, checking repeatedly for injuries. Anna chuckled and calmed everyone down. She looked around for a something before he face brightened. She made a beeline over to the couch with a big fluffy midnight blue blanket. She jumped onto it and snuggled into the couch.
"I'm still kinda tired so I'm gonna lay here. Why don't we watch some movies?" she said. She then turned to me.
"Erin? Weren't you and Sarah going to have a movie marathon? Why don't you have one now!" She said excitedly. I blinked and glanced over at Sarah. She looked utterly confused. So was everyone else, besides Kyoya.
"U-uh, sure. Yeah, you guys got any movies?" Sarah asked Honey.
"We have Netflix!" Honey said. Sarah nodded.
"Okay, let's get some snacks and enjoy this marathon!" Sarah said, discarding her earlier confusion. Everyone else nodded.
"Robin, twins you go get the snacks. Haruhi, Tamaki, you get the drinks. Honey and Mori will pick out the movies. Erin, Kyoya and I will check on Anna! Okay everyone, chop to it!" She said before shooing everyone off to their assigned tasks. Anna pouted but allowed Kyoya to check on her.
"Uh, Kyoya? Why is Anna acting this…..weirdly." Sarah asked.
"There were painkillers in the tea she drank earlier. She seemed to be in pain earlier and Haruhi asked me to give her some." I nodded and so did Sarah.
"That makes sense….She does get really happy or loopy when she takes any of medicine." Sarah said chuckling. A few minutes later, everyone came back.
I pouted when Sarah told Kyoya to check on me. I feel just fine! After a few minutes of them talking (I ignored what they said for the most part) everyone came back from their tasks. Honey picked Narnia and everyone settled down. The twins and Robin were on the floor near the t.v. Erin and Sarah sat on the other couch with Kyouya. Tamaki sat on the floor near Haruhi and Mori and Honey sat on the couch with me.
"Anna-chan? Can I sit in your lap?" Honey asked whispering loudly. I smiled and nodded. He giggled and jumped into my lap. I grunted quietly but adjusted myself so that my head was resting on his head. About a half hour into the movie I started to feel sleepy. By then, Honey had moved out of my lap and was leaning against me. I yawned quietly before I felt myself start to sway.
I landed on something warm and hard. That something froze up when I did. I ignored that and snuggled deeper into that something. After a few moments, that something slowly relaxed and wrapped something around my shoulders. I smiled happily and soon fell asleep.
I looked over at Mori and Anna and smiled at what I saw. Anna had fallen asleep on Mori and he wrapped one of his arms around her. He was smiling slightly and had a very faint blush on his face as he continued to watch the movie. I looked over at Sarah, who was laying on my shoulder. I smiled and blushed before slowly easing back so that we were both laying down. I caught Kyoya's eye and he smirked at me. I blushed and looked away, laying my head on Sarah's. I fell asleep soon after that.
