She woke tothe accustomed darkness and the quiet sound of footsteps across the floor. Her deep red-brown eyes stared at the young blonde Noble as he walked toward the bed. Toward her.
She couldn't help the tiny smile her lips formed, nor could she help the feeling of happiness as she looked into his beautiful eyes.
" Good morning, Alessiel-sama." The blonde boy said softly, his eyes smiling as his face stayed unresponsive to her smile. He kneeled before the bed as she sat up, swinging her legs over the die in her nightgown. Alessiel's smile grew as she noticed her older sister standing at the door beside a taller, more shadowy figure.
" Onii-sama, Onee-chan!" She said in greeting as she nodded her head toward them, while extending her hand to the boy in front of her. Standing quickly, Hanabusa Aido took her hand gently helping her into a standing postition. As soon as she was standing, she felt a little faint. Internally she knew why and knew Aido would have something to say about it later, but she shook it off as she calmly walked over to her brother and sister.
Kaname stood silently watching Yuuki, glancing every so often back at Alessiel, but his eyes were, for the most part, on the girl he loved. Yuuki, on the other hand, gave her younger twin a slight smile before it disappeared into a frown. This was when Kaname spoke up.
" Yuuki and I are leaving the mansion for a few days. You will be here with Aido for protection, but otherwise alone." He faced Alessiel, taking care to look her directly in the eyes before adding, " Is this alright with you?"
Alessiel felt her heart soar, but was careful to keep it from showing externally. She responded in a cool tone, seeming indifferent to the idea.
" Of course, it's fine." She added a small nod, forcing her arms at her sides to relax and her legs to stay still so as to not run to embrace her secret love.
Kaname gave a small nod at Alessiel before whispering something in Yuuki's ear, causing her to blush, and leaving the room. Yuuki turned to face Alessiel.
" I'll see you soon, Alessiel." Yuuki said in a soft tone. Her voice showed her emotion, and Alessiel felt how much she would miss her sister in the next few days. She hugged her sister not saying a word, and in a matter of an hour Yuuki and Kaname were leaving through the door with Alessiel standing on the staircase watching them go.
She watched them leave with no emotion showing on her pale face, standing straight in a long beautiful white dress. In her dress and with her long straight brown hair flowing down her back, she looked very much like the Pureblood princess she was.
Aido came to kneel in front of her then, bowing his head for an instant before he stood and looked down into her eyes.
" Come," He said softly to her, pulling her gently with him as he began to walk away. She turned her head to look at the door as they walked up the stairs before resigning herself to look forward to Aido. He was still staring at her as he held her hand, pulling her behind him as they entered the dark library. " In here."
She followed him obediently, her heart feeling both heavy and light at once. It confused her.
Alessiel was deep in thought until she felt he back pressed up against the wall. Startled, she looked into his turquoise eyes.
" N-nani?" She whispered, as he pulled her to him. Her mouth was extremely close to his neck.
" Drink." He ordered. " Or you'll become sick."
Her eyes widened as they became a bright red, the red eyes of a vampire. She felt her fangs press on her lower lip as her throat ached for the blood. She gave a small nod, knowing he couldn't see it, before obeying his command.
She pulled back her lips as she widened her mouth, angling her mouth to bite his neck. She pressed her teeth to his neck and gently allowed them to sink into his flesh as she drew his blood from his body, quenching her thirst.
It was a few moments before she pulled away, her red eyes fading slowly as she looked at Aido. He straightened as he stared at the girl he loved. A trickle of blood slid from the corner of her mouth down to her chin, and he gave her a small smile.
" You feed so messily still." He commented, giving a light sigh. He cupped her face in his hands, leaning his face close to hers as he licked the blood that had been staining her pale face. Aido held her this way for another moment before she looked away at the bookshelves surrounding them.
" I apologize." Alessiel murmured formally, her eyes downcast.
Aido hid another smile as he released his hold on the Pureblood princess, walking to the door in a swift and graceful manner. Hiding his face, he fell into the regular tutor routine.
" Get your mathematics books. We will be starting with that for today." Was all he said before he left the room, the door seeming to yawn behind him.
Alessiel was thoroughly confused but found the books she needed and followed the man she loved to recieve her lessons for the day.
