The morning sun had started to rise, and Rido was sound asleep. Kimberly slid out of bed and tiptoed out of the bedroom. All the fuss last night had made her pretty hungry `knowing that there Vampire's, I doubt they'll have real food` she thought, she reached the kitchen and pulled a chair over to the counter, she climbed on it and peered in a cupboard. She found a box of cereal and jumped down.
(in Rido's room)
Rido tossed and turned, not being able to sleep. Something was missing, he opened his eyes and found that Kimberly was nowhere to be seen `where has she scampered off too?` he thought as he hopped out of bed and made his way downstairs. He looked in the study, living room, Jurri's room and yet he still couldn't find the little girl. He peeked in the kitchen and sighed with relief. He saw Kimberly sitting at the table with a bowl of cereal and looking at a book. Rido walked in "why are you up so early?" he asked. Kimberly looked up and looked at him for a second, then went back to eating and reading. Rido raised an eyebrow "still not talking huh?" he asked…she still remained silent `oookay, she'll come around…eventually`
He walked over to the table and sat down across from her, he noticed that she was reading an old battered book. "so why ARE you up so early?" he asked again. Kimberly looked up to him and slid a necklace over the table to him, the pendant was a silver sun with a crimson ruby in the middle in the shape of a rose "is this why? You're the kind of wizard who arises at sunrise" he said remembering his lessons on Wizards. Kimberly nodded and took the necklace back.
Rido yawned, his pearly white fangs showing "I'm going back to bed. Play with Jurri's dolls if you want" he said as he strolled out the kitchen. Kimberly raised and eyebrow `play…dolls? I'm confused` she thought.
She disposed of her half eaten breakfast and made her way into the living room where she saw the little stone girls on the floor, dressed in pretty dresses and had nice curly hair. She picked one up and examined it `I saw Jurri san play about with this last night…am I supposed to do that?` she wondered. She picked up another one, she found it very pretty. The doll had a black Victorian style dress on, white shoes and long chocolate brown hair.
"that's Suki Chan" a voice said from behind her. Kimberly jumped in fright and turned around. Jurri was standing in the door way, rubbing her eyes. She smiled and walked over to the small girl. She picked up a carmel haired doll with a ballet dress "and this is Mi mi chan, my favourite" she explained. She looked at Kimberly and grinned
"do you want to play?" she asked. Kimberly looked down at the doll with a confused look on her face, she then looked at all the other toys that lay on the floor, Jurri saw the confusion
"didn't you play before…you know" she said. Kimberly shook her head sadly, afraid Jurri may make fun of her for not knowing how to play. However Jurri gently pulled Kimberly's hand and pointed to the toys "I'll show you. You pretend that the dolls are your children, have pretend tea parties and play houses" she explained, Kimberly nodded in understandment "wanna try?" she asked.
Kimberly nodded and sat on the floor with Jurri. Jurri showed her how to play the games and how to dress up the dolls and make up stories, Kimberly really enjoyed it, she even smiled. Jurri thought her smile was soooo adorable, just then Haruka and Rido walked in on the playing girls, they noticed little Kimberly smiling "Awww! Her smile is so cute" Haruka cooed. Kimberly looked at the boys and smiled brightly at them, an idea came to her mind to thank Jurri for cheering her up.
She stood up and held her hands out for Jurri's favourite doll, Jurri handed her the caramel haired doll. Kimberly sat the doll next to Suki. She raised her hand and moved her fingers around, gold dust appeared from them and onto the dolls. Jurri gasped as Mi mi blinked as did Suki. Both dolls stood up on the chair and reached out for the two girls, Kimberly picked up Suki and Jurri shakingly picked up Mi mi
"y-you brought t-them to l-life" she stuttered. Kimberly's smile dropped `she doesn't like it` she thought sadly. She was suddenly enveloped in a hug "that is soooo sweet! Thank you" she said happily. Kimberly's smile was immediately back on her face. Even though losing her parents tore her on the inside she was happy to be with the Kurans, she glanced at Rido who was smiling at her. He yawned "ok you two, lets get back to bed" he said as he shooed his siblings out the room. He was about to leave himself, when he felt a tug on his sleeve. He looked down to see a sleepy looking Kimberly. He smirked and lifted her up "alright, you can bunk with me I guess" he said.
Kimberly smiled and closed her eyes, drifting off to dream land. Rido glanced down at the sleeping child and noticed her bare neck, he bent slowly to her neck, opening his mouth to bite…but he hesitated `no I can't…what is this girl doing to me?` he asked himself as he went to his room. The sun was now fully up and the birds were singing. You'd expect the children of the Kuran household to play outside but instead they were all sound asleep, resting till night fall.
