{Haru's POV}
It was calm, to say the least. My mother and I had left her home and entered the emence low temperatures in the early morning. Our breath forming ice crystals in their wake. My coat causing me discomfort as I also wore extra layers underneath. My mother was so concerned about my health and never gave a second thought about her own. I wormed my hands into my pockets and sighed loudly as my shadow traced the road in the dimly lit streets. The sun hadn't even risen yet, though I doubt it would as the clouds seemed to covering the sky. My mother walked proudly beside me, holding onto my free hand. Her eyes were sunken, as were her cheeks. Her hands clammy yet dry as a sandpaper. She looked so unwell yet she acted alright.
As we continued forth into the dark streets my mother explained that she was preparing to explain that she no longer wanted contact with my father except for when he was to pay child support. She claimed that she couldn't live knowing that her lover was also married. It pained my mother to know that Yuu's mother was on the brink of depression and yet she couldn't help.
"Haru," My mother said softly as she squeezed my hand. "Promise me that you'll never choose a life like mine." Her eyes were dark and her lips were pursed tight as a small tear formed in the corner of her eye. My eyes met with hers, the contract between light and dark being almost too much for me to bear.
I tore my eyes away, feeling my heart in my throat. I bit the inside of my cheek and remained silent before nodding.
My heart thumped louder as my mother let out a hearty sigh. My mother tugged on my hand and looked down at me with a soft expression as she ruffled my dark locks. "Don't look so glum," She cooed. "I only said that because you deserve the best, Haru," She stopped walking and kneeled down, placing her cheek against mine and forcing my to look up at the orange and purple sky, pointing at the fading stars. "If I had the chance, I'd buy you the entire world and give you the best husband and children. You'd have the perfect life, just like you deserve."
I giggled playfully, tightly gripping onto my mother's hand and jumping up and down excitedly. "And you will live with me mommy! You will the queen and I'll be the princess!" My mother stared down at my softly and nodded. She leant down again and parted my bangs before placing a sincere kiss onto my forehead.
"Of course. Anything for my little baby Haru..."
Our conversation slowly faded and we walked in a comfortable silence. The only thing being heard was our boots against the snow ridden floor and my soft humming. My mother hummed along with me, smiling at me whenever I'd give her another glance to be sure she wasn't sad or crying. Calling a daughter's instinct.
"Where are we going anyway?" I asked quietly, fearing I'd cause calamity if I was to speak in a normal tone.
"We are going to see your father, I already told you."
I bit my lip harshly, grimacing at the coppery taste of blood on my tongue. I didn't want my dad to leave me. I liked having that extra human contact. I rarely went to school so I didn't have any friends beside Yuu. I felt tears prick my eyes and the cold harshness as they ran down my cheeks. To avoid any questions, I looked away and started acting like I was admiring the stars.
My mind slowly began to wonder. I started thinking about the past, present and future. My past wasn't so great, yet I couldn't dare feel ungrateful for it. Some people had far worse. My present, was indescribable, I guess. The only thing that comes to mind was my mother. Mother. Would she even be in my future? She promised me to live a long life, yet her body seemed to already become a corpse. Her body moving sluggishly and her features were dull and sunken. She had clearly lost her liveliness. I'd remember the bliss summers where we would roll down the hill and we'd play with bubbles or have water fights and when Yuu would join us too and get angry when he'd get water on him.
Yuu.
Would he be my future? Would I even have a future like my mother promises. She prays to so many gods and unworldly beings that my future would be bright, yet I feel like her prayers are being tossed aside.
"Haru!" My mother screamed. My eyes focused on the world before me. A bright light heading closer to me along with a loud horn causing me to groan. I felt my body fail to move as I noticed a large truck racing towards me as I stood in the middle of the road. I tried to scream yet my lungs had seemed to collapse. My mother raced forward yet before I could see her take a step forward I winced as my face my contact with the path and a heavy weight fell onto my body.
My mother's voice seemed distant yet I could see her right before me with tears in her eyes. My vision occasionally drifted through an unfocused state to a clear view. My mother shook her head and sighed as I sat up, flinched as I noticed a boy sit beside me with a large graze across his cheek.
"Thank you for saving my daughter," My mother said softly, rummaging into her purse to obviously try to pay the boy.
The boy shook his head, his blonde hair ruffling as his blue eyes glanced over at me. He stood up and offered me his hand, which I hesitantly took. "It's ok. I don't want to see anyone die. I'm way too young to see that stuff," He said before turning and waving a goodbye.
My mother sighed and licked her finger, quickly trying to clean some of my dirty face as she pulled out a napkin and forced me to blow my nose. She muttered to herself for a moment before she hugged me tightly and breathed into my neck.
"Please don't do such things, Haru. You're too young to die."
After a couple moments of my mother trying to mentally prepare herself, she gripped onto my hand and started to walk forward. She noticed my take a moment to notice her walking as I stared of into the distance as the faint silhouette of the mysterious blonde boy. As I finally decided to walk my eyes widened as we heard faint screams coming from a block of apartments where Yuu lived.
My mother let go of my hand and raced towards the building. Forcing the door open with a forceful pull, she ran up the stairs. I quickly followed after her and flinched when she told me to remain quiet. I obeyed. We walked slowly towards Yuu's apartment, looking at each other hesitantly as we noticed the door was wide open. My mother placed a finger to her lips as she walked slowly into the apartment. Her jaw dropped as she noticed chairs were thrown across the room, knives strewn across the floor and kitchen sides.
Inhumane.
That was the first thing that to mind when I saw it. No. Her. A women with silken black hair held a lighter in her hand and held it close to the oven. She had tears in eyes as she screamed words towards her husband who crawled closer to a terrified Yuu in the corner of the room. My mother held her hand over my mouth and pulled me back so we could only see the event through a gap in the door. I wanted to call the police yet if I did I felt like Yuu would be injured.
"You're a spawn of the devil!" The woman screamed loudly, waving her arms about in a mad frenzy. My father had tears in his eyes as he held a knife in his hand, pointing it towards Yuu as he raised it above his head.
"You should die!" He screamed.
We were all suddenly thrown backwards and over the balcony. My mother held me tightly as we fell over a twenty feet towards the ground. I cried loudly at the feeling of heat burning my face and my eyes burning at the bright light. Yuu's mother must've lit the gas from the oven on fire. She must've. My mother gasped as her back hit the concrete ground. She rolled onto her stomach and heeved loudly, coughing and spluttering blood.
"H-haru..." She wheezed. "Police..." She said harshly. I nodded with tears in my eyes, reaching into her purse and calling the police and explaining the situation through muffled cried.
It didn't take long for the police and firemen to arrive. They extinguished the fire quickly and it seemed everyone survived. Even Yuu.
The doctors had ushered us onto an ambulance as they examined my mother and I. They said I was fine due to my mother cushioned my fall, yet they insisted on my mother to go to hospital. She willfully declined. My mother obviously knew she didn't have long left.
I watched as a firemen carried Yuu's weak and collapsed body towards a social worker. Yuu's mother leapt out of the grasp of a fireman and began explaining how they should've left him to die and how he was the devil.
My pen swirled quickly over the paper as I sat on a chair and ignored the conversation between the vampire's in the room. My memories still playing in my mind.
Both Yuu's parents died after that, as did my mother. I don't know what happened to Yuu, but I still hope he is alive and well.
Wowow this chapter was awful. Call it a filler.
PLEASE SOMEBODY GIVE ME IDEAS FOR FUTURE CHAPTERS! I'M STUCK!
Sorry for the wait, I really have had no ideas for this fic. I probably got the whole thing wrong for the fire and all that. I haven't gotten very far in the manga. So I'm sorry, DON'T HATE. I'm pretty sure we all know who that blonde boy was too ;)
