All Goes Wrong, So Very Wrong

Vincent was meanwhile also looking at the window with fascination though at the crow nestled on the roof. Poking his head out of his window, he narrowed his eyes and decided he'll climb the top and get some fresh air for a bit.

Grabbing his sketchbook and pen, he carefully slipped his leg out of the window and then, holding onto the side of the window, quickly lifted his other leg towards the top of the roof so he wouldn't fall.

Hearing the soft sounds of scraping shoes on the roof, the crows screeched and flew up into the air, leaving behind bits of feathers on top of the roof. Vincent, looking a bit disappointed, decided he'll go up that roof anyway. Heaving himself up, he finally managed to get himself to the top of the rather slippery roof.

Cold wind blew at his face but he didn't mind as he opened the dark brown sketchbook in his hands. He looked at the previous drawings he had drawn into the paper with pride.

Many of them included butterflies, crows, landscapes and even people, including one of Valeska. He sighed at the portrait of Valeska he had drawn for. Unfortunately he rather... forgot to give it to Valeska. But she seemed to have forgotten and he himself also seemed to forget about it whenever he thought of giving it to Valeska.

Still, it made him sigh lovingly at the picture. He loved Valeska so very much. And when he had heard Valeska say 'yes' to his proposal, he was absolutely delighted. Vincent laughed as his dark hair, also like Valeska,whisked back and forth with the blowing wind.

He picked carefully at the pen so he wouldn't let it fall and started to draw another drawing of the town when she heard his mother's shout call for him.

A bit irritated to be disturbed but didn't really have the courage and heart to shout at his mother, gloomily crept back towards his window, where the curtains flapped back and forth. Slipping both his legs in, he dropped his sketchbook and pen on the bed with a soft thump and opened the door to his room.

He was about to open the door and ask his mother what she wanted when he bumped into a woman the same age as him. He fell with a hard thunk on the ground and the woman in front of him also did the same, with a faint 'Oof!' coming from her lips.

Groaning silently, Vincent winced and looked up at the woman, who looked bewildered and...strange looking. She had chocolate brown eyes and hair and she wore a fancy looking dress, nothing quite as pretty compared to Valeska, Vincent thought, but still rather pretty.

The woman smiled but something about her eyes made Vincent both suspicious and curious. It felt as if he was being consumed by it. He blinked several eyes, suddenly realizing that he was staring. The woman's smile widened as she curtsied.

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you, Master Crosfolt!" she spoke as her eyes twinkled with something Vincent couldn't really read. Was it joy? Or... triumph? Vincent thought. He didn't know.

"No no, don't worry. Who…?" Vincent began but he was cut short by the woman in front of him.

"OH! Pardon my manners, my name is Alaerda Herald," the woman spoke. She seemed to blink at Vincent as he continued to stare at her for a minute before stumbling for her to please come in to his room. Vincent shut the door behind him as the Ms. Herald looked towards the open window and then at the bed with the sketchbook curiously.

"So umm may I ask why you are here. Ms. Herald?" Vincent stuttered a bit as he watched a bit dumbly at the woman. Who was she? he thought in confusion.

"How silly of me! I am here to ask-"

But before Ms. Herald could continue, the door opened and Valeska came bursting in, opening the door in a swift motion. All of the people inside Vincent's room looked shocked. Valeska looked wide-eyed at the woman and then at Vincent, who had, in the moment, took a step closer towards Ms. Herald. Valeska gave out a choked gasp of horror and tears filled her eyes as she saw Vincent look at her in confusion.

"Valeska!" Vincent shouted, ready to grab his bride-to-be but Valeska shrank away, stumbling back, her footsteps wavering. In her eyes, tears rushed up. A horrified expression on Valeska's face made Vincent realize that something terrible was going on.

He looked back at the strange woman now wearing a confused and shocked expression and he felt his blood draining as he found to his horror how Valeska may have misunderstood. He quickly tried to grab Valeska's hand comfrotingly, to tell her that it was all a misunderstanding, but Valeska stumbled back again.

Vincent shouted in horror as he saw Valeska stare up at him with tears one more time and run down the stairs towards the door. Vincent immediately followed, shouting for her name, but Valeska's face did not turn to look at him.

Before Vincent could do anything else, the door had slammed at his face, knocking him on the floor again. Tears also filling his eyes, he looked at the shut door and whispered, a name dripping with guilt and despair.

"Valeska!"

A/N: Hehe! There I did it! I had to think quite a while to think of a situation like this that will part Valeska and Vincent and at least It came to me:D If you liked this chapter, please review! Thank you:D
