Hi again! Hoped you liked chapter two. Right now, I'm working on chapter four. Now that I think this story more through, I'm not sure when to end it. I guess when there's nothing left to right about. Please note: Kaname is six feet and two inches tall, and the story is from Yuki's point of view.
Rosetta
Chapter 3
Yuki's Point of View
"Mom! I'm home!" called Kaname. His house was really pretty on the inside, but I didn't know what it looked like on the outside. I looked around, and I saw a black grand piano, a few paintings. The front entrance had a lot of space, enough to have a huge party. I could smell roses, but I couldn't help of feeling a strange feeling.
"I really like you house..." I said quietly. Kaname started to take off a jacket that I didn't see him put on. Then hung it on a coat rack, and headed towards me, but then he paused.
"May I help you with you coat, I mean, my coat?" laughed Kaname. This made my heart skip a beat. Kaname's laugh was soft and playful one that made me fall in love with it.
I felt my face turn red, and was too shy to speak, so I nodded my head to say yes, but I didn't want to take it off, it was so warm and it smelled just like him. "May I keep it on?" I asked. Although the house was warm, I was still cold.
Kaname pause. "Sure you can. Are you still cold?" I just nodded my head. At that moment, a woman appear. She looked like she was in her mid-thirties. Her hair was pure black, just like Kaname's, but unlike Kaname's rose-red eyes, the woman's eyes were a liquid-topaz color. She was about a few inches shorter than Kaname. Kaname had the same features as the woman, everything except for his smile. Kaname's smile was a bit crooked, and the woman's was regular, and her teeth were white as pearls. I'd figure this would be Kaname's mother.
"Welcome home, Kaname." she said, her voice was soft and comforting. Almost like.. Mo-- No! I can't think about them. I just can't...
Kaname's voice interrupted my thoughts. "Mom, this is Yuki. Her parents had just been killed by a vampire, Level 'E' to be more clear. Do you think its okay she stays here for a little while?" I could hear the pleading and the sadness in his voice.
"Why of course she can!" exclaim his mother. I was a little surprise to hear this. She turned to me. "Yuki, I am sorry for what happen to you parents. So, for a little while, you are going to be staying here. Okay?" Her voice was soft as velvet, just like Kaname's. She was making herself so clear, that it sounded like she was talking to a five year old, I'm not five, I'm twelve. And I'm a lot smarter than you think, but I wouldn't say that aloud, I didn't want to hurt her feelings. Besides, I'm too afraid to speak, I hate being in new places.
Once again, my thoughts were interrupted. This time it was Kaname's mom. "Yuki, do you understand?" She paused to look up at Kaname, but he didn't say anything. "Does she talk?" she ask Kaname.
Kaname looked at me before answering. "She says little, but she may know more than we think. For now, lets not push her, its been a long day for her." He kept looking at me. A minute passed by, and he finally looked at his mother.
My heart started to pound, as Kaname took my hand and started to pull me to the stairs. I didn't want to be alone with him, at least not yet. Not until I know more about him. Luckily, his mother stopped him.
"Kaname, where are you going?" she asked. Her voice was stern. When I looked up at Kaname, he seemed sort of embarrassed.
"Well... I was going to see if there's some clean clothes that might fit her, then get her cleaned up." Kaname replied. It seems like Kaname's mom didn't like the idea.
"I'll do it. You go fix the guest bedroom and dinner, please." said Kaname's mom. Then came over to me and took my hand. Then headed upstairs, with Kaname behind us.
Upstairs, the hallway had many paintings, old and new photographs. Some were family photos, or a portrait of some old person. I started to count each picture frame we pass, but I lost count around fifteen or so. They weren't all in a row, they were scattered around, like a puzzle and the pieces were everywhere. There five doors in the hallway, and another stair case. We only pass by two doors out of the five. The first one looked like it was a study or a library. The second one was the bathroom. Kaname's mom took me in the bathroom while Kaname kept walking to the end of the hallway to the last door, and went in.
I felt a little better with Kaname's mom instead of him. Kaname's mom started to fill the bathtub with hot water. I didn't realize how much blood was on me until now. When I turned my head to sniff my shoulder, the blood made me sick. I looked at my hands, they were covered in blood as well. I studied it carefully, with thoughts of how my parents were killed.
Kaname's mom interrupted my thoughts again. "By the way, my name is Rosetta. I am truly sorry for what happened to you parents. I lost my husband the same way you lost your parents. If you don't have anyone else to take care of you, Kaname and I will do so. If it doesn't work out, I have a close friend, and he will take you in, he understands all of this. He actually is the headmaster of the school near by here." said Rosetta. I didn't say anything, for I was afraid I was going to start crying. "Well, come on. Let's get you cleaned up for dinner. I'll close the door so Kaname won't come in." She sounded just like Mom, as if I was her child.
She helped me with my clothes and when I stepped into the bathtub, the water was so warm against my skin. I wanted to stay there forever. Rosetta had clean clothes ready for me, which was dark blue skirt, and a black t-shirt. They fit just right, it was as if they were expecting me.
Dinner was ready by the time I got dressed. Kaname called us down, and we went downstairs. I wouldn't leave Kaname's side, because I was afraid that I was going to get separated from them, and get killed by the next vampire that came through town. Out of no where, Kaname picked me up, and put me in one of the chairs at the table; Rosetta sat across from me and Kaname next to me. The bowl in front of me had ramen in it. Rosetta and Kaname started to eat, and I remained there, staring at my bowl.
"Yuki, honey? Do you like ramen?" asked Rosetta. I didn't say a word. I kept looking back and forth to Rosetta and Kaname. Minutes passed by, and Kaname got up and headed towards the kitchen. He came out with a small plate of red stuff, that jiggle, in one hand, and a spoon in the other. He walked towards me.
"Yuki, do you like jell-o?" asked Kaname. I wasn't sure what jell-o was. Kaname must have seen the confusion in my eyes, because he made a quiet laugh, and smiled his cute, crooked smile. He sat down next to me, "Say Ah." said Kaname.
"Ahhh..." I repeated. Then he stuck a spoon full of jell-o in my mouth. It didn't taste bad, it was actually pretty good. I made a smile to make sure they knew I liked it. Both, Rosetta and Kaname smiled at me. At that very moment, I felt I was part of the family, but Kaname felt like he was more than a friend to me.
