"Eh...? Hello..." Elizabeth said uneasily.
"Yo." the girl said. Elizabeth waved nervously.
"I'm Kisetsu Tenki. I'm a pureblood vampire...no need to treat me like a queen...I don't do that crap and your name?" Kisetsu said in a bored tone.
"Oh...er...my name is Erizabesu Watoson. I'm a Level D vampire." Elizabeth said nervously. Kisetsu nodded. She flicked her red blond hair away from her shoulder. She was in her school uniform. Elizabeth noticed that she didn't wear any shoes or socks.
"Erm...aren't your feet cold?" Elizabeth asked. Kisetsu looked down and then looked back up, almost robotically. She shook her head.
"Oh." She nodded, "Okay..." she wasn't quite sure if this girl was all that sane. She swallowed. "So...you're a pureblood...?" Elizabeth said, trying to make heads and tails of the situation before her. Kisetsu nodded. "I'm still trying to make sense of this...vampire society you have going on here."
"You'll get used to it." Kisetsu said with a slight smile and it put some colour in her pale cheeks. Elizabeth ran a hand through her own shaggy blonde hair. Kisetsu walked forward and tucked a lock of Elizabeth's hair behind her ear. Elizabeth tensed at the bold action. "I like you. You're cool."
Elizabeth nodded nervously. Kisetsu smiled.
"I know you're nervous around me, Riji-chan and knowing that I could kill you with a single look is...daunting...but I've taken a shine to you. The way you were speaking to Kaname was hilarious." she said with a wide smile.
Elizabeth's tense body relaxed and smiled back at her. "I'm glad."
Suddenly, a handsome young man with blond hair and vibrant green eyes walked past. "Ah, Takuma, have you met the new girl?" Kisetsu asked affectionately. It was like a complete change in personality. Firstly, she was as monotone as hell, secondly, she was smiling and lastly, she was being really affectionate to this handsome young man .
"Ah, no, I haven't had that pleasure. My name is Takuma Ichijo, it's nice to meet you. What's your name?" he asked brightly. Elizabeth's mouth dropped. He was far too happy to be a vampire.
Instead of answering him, Elizabeth asked him a question.
"Are you a vampire?" she asked.
Takuma threw his head back and laughed. "Well, yes. I am. So...er...what's your name?" he asked again. Elizabeth fiddled with her hands before answering.
"My name is Erizabesu Watoson, but you can call me 'Riji-chan'."
"I like that sound of that. By the way , I'm the vice president of the Moon Dorm. So if you have any concerns, come to me, Riji-chan."
Elizabeth nodded and bowed. "Thank you." Elizabeth smiled.
Takuma smiled back brightly. "Well, Kise-chan, I think we should let Riji-chan settle in and get ready for school."
"Yes, I agree." Kisetsu nodded, "We'll see you later." and they walked away, happily chatting. Elizabeth slumped against the wall. That was when she heard voices, she didn't recognize, in the room opposite her's.
"I cannot believe that we're having a Level D vampire in our midst." one voice said.
"But, it appears that we'll have to be tolerant of her. Kaname-sama's taken a liking to her."
Elizabeth backed away, wishing that she hadn't heard or understood what they were saying.
So, it appeared that she wasn't welcome. Was she going to be bullied during her time in the school?
She gulped and scampered back into her room. This was a disaster. Did they really have that much contempt for vampires like her? Was she that much below them?
"Oh dear..."
Later that evening, after a much needed nap, Elizabeth straightened her uniform and gathered up her books. When she walked down to the parlour, Elizabeth made her way over to Takuma and Kisetsu.
"Hey." Elizabeth said sadly.
"Hey, what's up, Riji-chan?" Kisetsu asked, placing a hand on Elizabeth's shoulder. Elizabeth looked up at Kisetsu.
"Is it true that...higher born vampires...look down on Level Ds? I heard a conversation about me, how they would "have to tolerate me"."
"I wouldn't let it get to me. You're a brilliant person." Kisetsu said, with a smile. Elizabeth nodded, not entirely sure.
"You think so?" Elizabeth asked and Kisetsu nodded. "Oh, okay." Elizabeth smiled. Then, everything went quiet. She looked up to see Kaname walking down the stairs.
"Well, shall we prepare ourselves to greet our fans?" Kaname said with a dry chuckle. Elizabeth frowned.
"What do you mean by "our fans"?" Elizabeth asked loudly. Kaname turned to her and everyone looked at him, trying to anticipate what he would do. Some thought that he would skin her alive; some thought that he would reduce her to dust (a fate she wasn't made aware of yet). Kaname merely smiled, but Elizabeth felt that the smile didn't give off any happiness or warmth. It made her feel sad just thinking about it.
"The Day Class is very excitable when it comes to us. I think that you should prepare yourself, Watoson-san."
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and turned to Kisetsu and Takuma. They both gave her nods and Kisetsu gave Elizabeth's hand a squeeze in comfort as she walked. She could hear all the fangirl screams and someone was trying to shout/calm them down. The doors opened for them and the girls stood in two very straight lines along the edge of the pathway. They girl who had been shouting the girls seemed awfully small and wondered of she was cut out for such work, because when she thought of fangirls, she thought of pushing/shoving and screaming. When they started walking, a young man with blond hair and the biggest blues eyes she'd ever seen (who was in the Night Class too) started hyping up the girls again and the poor girl who was trying to control them was having a hard time was trying to do her job all over again.
"That's Yuuki Cross, Chaiman Cross's adopted daughter." Kisetsu said. She nodded and continued to glare at the young man who was hyping the girls up. "That's Hanabusa Aidou. He's a bit of a ladys' man if you know what I mean." Takuma said. "And that's his cousin, Akatsuki Kain." pointing to the taller of the two boys. Once they made it out of the throng of fangirls, Takuma continued with his pointing out of people. "Yeah, that's Rima Toya and Senri Shiki and that's Ruka Souen, pointing to a girl with wavy hair, a girl wil pigtails and a boy with maroon coloured hair. Elizabeth nodded.
"This feels quite new to me." Elizabeth whispered, "Is it just me or are the uniforms for the girls too short, I feel really exposed." Elizabeth complained. Kisetsu nodded.
"They are a little short, I suppose, but you do get used to it."
"Oh, I don't think that I'll every get used to it." Elizabeth muttered. She looked up at the sun setting in the sky. It was beautiful and she guessed tha it would be a comman sight from now on.
