The day she was born
It been nine months since Lady Moriko got pregnant, and she was in labor for the last 6 hours. She was in the labor chamber of the castle, with her servants, and her personal maid, Hoshi. After the last few pushes, the baby finally came out of her. It was a baby girl! They quickly wiped it off, then wrapped it up in a blanket. Lady Moriko was breathing heavily, then fell a sleep. The maids left her to rest, as they also left with the baby to show to Lord Kichiro.
" My lord, your baby is finally here," Hoshi ran up to Lord Kichiro, he took the baby out of her arms. "Ahh.. My son.." he said with a smile on his face. "My lord, you have a daughter..," Hoshi looked kind of worried about how he would react to it. " oh.. well, that still great! A beautiful daughter, she will become then!" he gave a laugh, before, think. " is there a problem, my lord?" she looked at him, with a raised eyebrow. " no, it's just ..I don't know what to name her?" he looked at her in wonder, " Hmm.. I have always loved the name Hotaru," he said giving his flawless smile. "Ah! What a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl!" she said, and they both walked back to the room Lady Moriko was in.
15 years later…
Hotaru had her mother's hair and her father's eyes. She was as lovely and as gorgeous as her parents. All the girl envied her, and all the boys and men wanted to be with her. She had a good heart like her father, yet a fiery spirit like her mother. But her personally was her own; she was a quiet girl, she usually didn't have much to say to people she really didn't know. She was smart and clever, she would correct people when they made a mistake. Opinionated she was sometimes: she rather not argue about things. At times, was charming, and had charismatic to her. Hotaru was a dearly loved child, she was the only child that they, her parents, ever could love. She meant the moon and the stars to them. She was quite happy to have parents that loved her so, she was happy about living in the castle. Yet she was alone, she never could play with the other children that she saw outside the castle. She would watch for hours, as the children ran around and played, how she wished when she was younger to play with the children, yet now she was to old to play like the little children.
She now watched the older children, as they talked and laughed, and the boys and girls, huddled and kissed. She loved seeing the boys put their arms around the girls , as they whispered sweet things into each other ears, and stare out into the field of wild flowers and as the grass swayed with the cool breeze of late summer. As the sun was setting giving off vivid colors to the sky.
I
( Hotaru's point of view)
I watched the boys and girls as they kissed each other goodbye and went back to their calling parents. It was getting dark, the sun was almost gone. She felt really sad at the moment. I knew in a couple of hours it would dark, and the moon would be visible for her to see. I felt warm tears were running down my pale cheeks. " Lady Moriko, what are you doing?" It was General Taskashi, I quickly wiped her face from the tears that stained it. "Oh nothing, just looking out the window." still facing the window, he was right behind me. I didn't want to turn around to face him, he moved to my right side, also looking out the window. "ah.. Look at those humans, scurrying around like little insects, waiting to be squashed." He let out a little laugh, I just nodded my head. I looked out of the corner of my eyes, he's ebony hair was tied back in a red cloth. He was kind of looking at me, he kind of has his own little way of looking at me without me knowing, as he thinks. " what a astonishing young woman you have be come." he said looking at me with his dark red eyes. " Aww.. I remember when you where a little girl, you were so cute." he smiled at me, I felt uncomfortable. He's a good looking man, I wasn't trying to say that he was ugly or anything. But there is something about him, he comes and see me at the lasts of nights. He would ask me to go on a walk with him through the wood, and to look at the stars with him. He acted like this ever since I turned 14 . He was a blood demon, as mother told me. I didn't know what a blood demon was, mother told me, 'it's kind of a vampire and it's kind of a demon,' and that was all that she told me about him. Then she told me why I was different, I was half demon, quarter werewolf, and a quarter vampire. So I very special girl , and that's why they can't let me go out and play with the rest of the children. I finally knew the harsh trust to my existents., and I except it.
The sun was finally down, and I forgot that he was still in the room with me. "well, are you going down to eat?" he said to me sternly. " unless you would like to stay up here, and talk about.." I quickly headed off down stairs, before he could even finish his sentence.
When I got down stair, I saw a bunch of people sitting at the table, more than usually. " umm.. This is our daughter, Hotaru." mother said to the people, " ahh.. What a fine girl she is, my lady Moriko" the woman said to mother, I took a seat next to father, I felt safe next to him. Then Gen. Takashi took a seat next to where mother was. I saw some boys, either my age or up. Maybe we could become friends? That sounds like fun. I was about to say something before, "mother, I won't allow myself to be married to her!" I stopped from saying anything. I was stunned, married? What were they talking about? " father, what is this about?" I looked at father, and her didn't say anything for a long time.. " well, you are at the age of marriage. And we are going to pick a suitor for you." I could not believe what I was hearing.. " but father.. I don't want to get married" my voice was so low, that he didn't pick it up. Sure, I would want to get married, but not to these boys, they aren't that nice looking that I would want to marry them. " Father! I will not allow myself to marry any of these dolts!" the room went quiet for a long second. " EXCUSE ME!" one of the women cried out. "you'll marry my son, if you like it or not!" she looked at me harshly, as her pigheaded son was drooling at me. It was vile, it was disgusting, I would not allow myself, to be held by arms and hand like those! " oh shut up, you old hag witch!" I yelled back at the woman. "ah! I through with this!" I got up and walked towards the dining room door, the went out. I walked away with a smile on my face.
I got to my room, and looked out the window with a content look on my face. Then I saw someone, as all the people from the dining room left, and walked out the front door with their lame sons. I saw two guys, which to look like a man and his son. They both had silver hair, the father had his hair up, and the son didn't. I kept looking at the son, he was amazing to look at. He had marking on his face, such as his father's marking. I could not take my eyes off them. Then the son froze, and looked up right at my window. I ducked, "oh my gosh, did he see me? Am I blushing." " what are you doing?" a voice form behind rang. It was the general again, then he looked out the window, and he started sneering at the young man out side. " You know your parents are infuriated with you.." he said in a cold voice. I looked up at the window and the father and son were gone. Damn! " so.. I don't care, I hate all the guys in there anyway. I just thought they were friends of mother or father. And they just brought their sons long to talk to me." he had a irritated expression on his face. I knew I got him mad. " now if you let me, I would like to go see my parents." I started walking towards the door, then Taskashi got in front of the door, and shut it. "They are down stair talking to the two gentlemen , that you saw a few moments ago." He locked the door to my bed room.
"why don't you relax? Sit on the bed." he started walking closer to me. I started backing up, and then I feel onto the bed. " what do you want?" he gave a little smirk, "you."
