I know it's short, but there will be more, so it'll be fine.
Weiss Schnee stood at the gate that marked the entrance of the darkened woods, looking around warily, searching for the beautiful, mysterious girl.
The flickering light of the torches lent a slightly unsettling element to the old gates, and Weiss was reminded of the old stories her mother used to tell her as a child.
The stories of the girls that wandered into the forest at night, only to find themselves enthralled and seduced by creatures of the night and spirited away into the twilight, never to be seen again. Stolen by vampires.
"Hello?" She called softly, unsure if the girl was even in there. So she called a little louder. "Hello?" There was a soft whooshing sound, accompanied by the sweet smell of roses, and she watched as a single rose petal drifted to the ground in front of her.
She swallowed thickly, trying not to panic and flee in the other direction. Did she do that? No, it's not possible. . .But if she did, she obviously wants me to follow her. But what will she do when I do? She stepped cautiously closer to the gate, mentally berating herself. This is stupid. Vampires don't exist. She's just a regular girl, now get in there!
The white haired girl squared her shoulders and stiffened her spine, marching through the gate and into the forest. She didn't know how long she'd walked before she could find her voice again.
"He-" The boughs of a tree to her right creaked and the leaves rustled. "H-hello?" She cursed herself for sounding so afraid, but she couldn't help it, being lead into the woods alone at night was something she never could have predicted would happen to her.
A rose petal alighted on her shoulder and she flinched, causing it to tumble to the forest floor. She looked around, feeling her eyes adjust slowly to the darkness. The trees came into focus and she scanned each one, looking for the darkened shape that would inevitably give away her presence.
The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and she froze, itching to turn around, but afraid of what she'd see. She turned slowly, balling her hands into fists to stop them from shaking.
"Aah!" She let out a short scream when she saw them. The narrowed silver eyes inches away from her own.
"You shouldn't have come here." Now she was full blown trembling, her adrenaline rushing, her heart pounding, and her brain screaming at her to run.
"W-wait! What are you-" She was cut off as she felt slim fingers dancing up her sides.
"Now I'll have to take you." Her voice was a purr, unusually husky and deep, sending waves of chills down Weiss's spine. The girl's cold hands rested on her cheeks. "I'll have to make you mine." The girl's pretty face loomed closer, her silver eyes closing as she neared.
Weiss realized what was happening and regained just enough presence of mind to pull herself out of the girl's reach.
"Who. . .Who are you?" The girl tilted her head, regarding Weiss curiously.
"My name is. . ." Her mouth framed the words, but no sound came out.
"What?" Weiss shook her head slowly, uncomprehensive. To her growing horror, her vision started to skew, and sounds entering her ears became distorted and warbled. The girl began to disappear and Weiss panicked. "Wait! Your name is what?! What's your name?!"
Weiss bolted up in bed, unsure what had awakened her until the knock came again.
"Weiss? It's time to get up!" Her mom called through the door.
". . ." Weiss stared at her ceiling for a long time, not really seeing it. It was that dream again. She sat up and closed my eyes tightly, trying to hold on to the girl's image. Her dark red hair, her silver eyes, her pale skin, and her lithe build. Weiss shivered just thinking about the girl's voice, that dark, seductive purr that never failed to make her heart turn cartwheels in her chest.
The more Weiss imagined her, the closer she seemed, the more Weiss could almost feel the girl's cold hands on her face, hear her voice telling her all the ways she would make Weiss hers, the more Weiss could see her as if she was standing right in front-
"Weiss!" The daydreaming girl's mom knocked harder and the image shattered, leaving her with nothing. She sighed and opened her eyes.
"What?" Her mom opened the door and leaned in.
"You'll be late!" She felt her eyes widen and she leaped out of bed.
"Shit!" Her mom frowned at her.
"Language, Weiss, your brother is listening." Weiss glanced at the little white haired boy peering out from behind her mother's legs and smiled at him.
"Right, sorry." She hopped around, dressing as quickly as she could, before she slipped the strap of her bag over her shoulder and opened the window.
"What are you doing?!" Her mom shrieked, covering Argent's eyes. Weiss waved and leapt out onto a tree branch.
"Bye Mom! Bye Argent!" She leapt to the next one down, then to the next, then to the next before dropping down and landing on the wet grass of the yard. She raced off down the sidewalks, crossing cobblestone streets, and dodging automobiles and people alike in her haste to get to school.
"You're in a hurry today." Remarked a woman ahead of her. She didn't even spare a moment to see who it was.
"Sorry, can't talk, gotta go!"
"Slow down or you'll hurt yourself!" A man snapped as she stumbled past him, narrowly avoiding a collision. The school loomed into view through the damp air and she poured on more speed.
Meh. I haven't really thought about where this one goes yet. But stay tuned peeps, I'm turning it into a two or three-shot.
