''Chapter 13" of Secrets. Thank you for all the support, feed back, compliments, and honest opinions~!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler), Ouran, or any of the characters thus only the plot!
APOLOGIES:I messed up on the time! It's not 11:00 , 12:00 AM or whatever time I had you guys think it was in the story! To clarify the time in the story is: 9:57 PM at the beginning.
Death feels nothing more than the snow cherished by children year by year.
The cold, wet feeling, and the way your hands would go numb if not shielded.
Just like the first snow flake to hit the ground we come into the world just as fragile. We harden and become stronger, and before you are aware of it, we grow into slush and disappear into the ground as if nothing but a speck of dust as we melt away from the world we once dwelled in.
The world would forget the existence of that one snowflake that lasted only a winter.
The child will forget the happiness of how the sight of that first snowflake to announce winter brightened his or her's mood.
What meaningless life does a snow flake have, yet how similar is it to the life cycle of a human.
That I will not forget.
9:57 PM- JAPAN
- Haruhi's POV -
He cleared his throaght, once, twice, and by the time he recieved for what seemed everybody's own divine attention he had done the continuos action three times in total.
The room silenced and the guest's turned their heads to the main host of the party who stood at the center of the stair case, a spectacle for all to see, and with that he raised a wine glass filled with "Mountain Spring Water" in the air ever so cheerfully.
"Tonight," he began ",was a marvelous evening."
Tamaki's voice echoed about the hushed room.
"A marvelous evening that I cherished deeply and enjoyed. As this party comes to an end I must say that I must thank all of you for your attendence."
The room filled with light clapping as a sign of aknowledgement and Tamaki took it appreciatevly as he paused for the noise to lower. The same old nursery rhyme (("Hickory Dickory Doc")) replayed in my mind once more as the room grew back to it's silent state. The lyrics began to creep into my thoughts forcing me to lightly hum the tune as I sang it in my head while Tamaki proceeded.
~ Hickory Dickory Doc,
Tamaki chuckled and lowered his raised arm slightly.
~ The mouse went up the clock,
"And with that I believe we shall all take a toast,"
~ The clock struck ten,
", as the clock strikes ten, to conclude this ball, celebrating the end of this trimester"
~ And once again,
Tamaki raised the glass to his lips as the chime from the clock outside announced 10:00 PM. The eight note tune filled the air as I looked at the water in the glass unexpressionly. The last stanza to the nursery rhyme flashed in my head.
~ Hickory Dickory Do-
A screech was heard from the left side of the room a long with an ear scratching sound of glass shattering across the floor and a disturbing crack.
Heads turned and whispers were exchanged as the guest's lowered their wine glasses hesitently.
I stood on my tipietoes attempting to catch a glimpse of what happened.
I wish I hadn't.
Blood.
It was everywhere.
It seeped through one of the girl's clothes as she lay on the floor motionless and in a horrifying position as if here neck was snapped in half. The sight was suffocating and people who saw the scene screamed and moved back quickly. The lights began to flicker and the glass chandelier at the cieling swayed back and forth, but I stood there with wide eyes trying to erase the horrid sight from my memory. I felt sick. I felt dizzy, and to be honest I wish I hadn't eaten that cake Honey offered me earlier.
I'm not sure if I was the only one but I could've sworn I heard a soft laughter fill the air, as if though the sight of this amused a person somehow.
The last two words I remember having heard.
Ciel Phantomhive.
The two words I grew to hate.
End of chapter
