Chapter Two: Promises and the Red Rose
Five years (?) have passed since the day I was born. I have officially five years old, human age. I kept on looking at the door, hoping to see Kaname. Since I am a pureblood and a weak one, not to say, therefore I am hidden from the outside world. No one knows about me except for my family. Since the vampire council (senate) is planning to use pureblood's blood for something that I do not know of therefore I am hidden. My parents are worried about my safety so my room is in the basement of the house. There are no windows. Therefore no one could look through the window and see me. Right at this moment, I am sitting on the couch reading a book where Haruka and Juuri are sitting on the chairs near the table looking at me. Suddenly the door opened with Kaname smiling at me. I quickly ran to him and jumped into his embrace.
"Kaname-onii-sama, you're back." I started rubbing my cheeks onto his chest while Kaname is hugging me.
"I'm sorry that I came back so late. Now that I am able to hug Yume, I feel a lot better." Kaname hugged me tighter as the snow on his body melt.
"Onii-sama, what is the white stuff?" I looked at Kaname with big glossy eyes. He smiled back and caress my check.
"It's snow. Snow is cold so by hugging Yume I feel warm." He takes my hand and lead me back to the couch I was sitting on minutes ago.
"Yume, today I saw a very special red rose. It's really beautiful and special. Unfortunately, once you pluck the rose out of the dirt, it would turn to ashes. Next time, I would use resin to solidify it so that it would not turn to ashes even if it leaves the ground." Kaname lifted me up and I sat on his lap. I looked at Kaname with curiosity.
"I promise that when you can go out to the outside world, I would bring you to the place and we could enjoy our time there." He tightened his hold on me. I turn my head to look back at him. Suddenly, he had this sad look on his face.
"Onii-sama, please do not make such a scary face, Yume is fine. As long as brother, mother and father is with Yume. I do not mind not being able to go out. I just need mother, father and brother." I looked at Kaname with a big smile on my face.
Haruka and Juuri walked over to us and they hugged me apologizing. I pulled back from the embrace and smiled at them.
"As long as mother, father and brother are with me, even if i have scary nightmares, Yume would be fine." I said softly, looking down on my lap. They looked solemn and serious for a second and they look determined to do something. It seems like it is almost time. I look over at Haruka and Juuri and I feel like I want to cry. Should I save them or let the story go on like it should?
