Vampire Mansion Chapter 1
“Do you think it’s a good idea?” I asked my two trusted two best friends.
I know that this is sudden but it’s for the best.They both look at each other for a long time. Mariko is in deep thought while Haruna is scratching her head. I thought that Haruna would be the most understanding since her sister, Mako is about the same age as my girls. But, right now she is the most indecisive one in the room.
Mariko opened her mouth and said “Have you talked to them yet”. I just shake my head. I didn’t have time to ask their opinion on it.
“I’m trying to make it a surprise for them” I made a jazz hand at them, with probably an awkward face that came with it. Haruna is still scratching, Mariko just sigh at my statement.
“Are you sure? They never made any contact with the human world, let alone humans” I dropped my head down. What she said was true, we only lived in a secluded area far from the human world. It’s gonna be hard to leave a peaceful place we called home to live in a place where the streets are busy and the sounds of nature are drowned out.
I hear footsteps coming closer towards me. A hand placed on my right cheek, and another came for the other cheek. The hands pull my head up to meet the warm eyes of Haruna who smiled at me.
“I’m also worried for them, but they do have Mako, she has experience with the other world before” After hearing that, I return the former’s smile. Her warm eyes never went away. It’s rare to see her like this. We both signaled each other to look at Mariko.
“I’m also not against it but you need to remember that Haruka is almost an adult. You know what happens when vampires are about to reach adulthood, bloodlust”
“Which is why moving to the other world is a good idea. Being near humans can make her bloodlust easier to control, since she is going to be surrounded by them earlier than adulthood”
“I know why you’re doing this” I know where she’s going with this.
“What you did to her was an accident…” I could feel my blood boiling, every time Mariko brings it up. I was about to lose it when someone grabbed my hand, Haruna. She knows what’s happening to me and was trying to calm me down, but I can’t. Mariko continued
“It’s in the past, you didn’t mean-”
“TO KILL HER?! Have her soul slowly get taken away?” I released all that is inside me. I could not forgive myself even after all these years, no matter how much they told me it was not my fault.
“You keep saying that but you didn’t know how I felt that day” I reminiscence that day, unable to erase that moment.
“Opening my eyes to see her lifeless body in my arms” The both of them knows how much I kept the pain inside me.
“No matter…ho-how much I …called out to her…say her name. She…she still didn’t wake up”
My legs felt weak. I was about to be on my knees when Haruna caught me. We both kneel down while she was pulling me into a hug and starts to caress my back. Soothing me a little bit. I slowly returns her hug, unknowingly letting my tears roll down my cheeks.
“I- I don’t want to let them to feel what I felt, to condemn themselves for the sins they’ve committed…I want them to have the life they always dreamed of” I looked back and forth between them.
“Is that a bad thing to ask?” my voice was raspy from the lumps gathering in my throat. Another hand is on my back, I know it is Mariko. She kneels down and smile.
“If that is your wish, then as your trusting best friends and the most awesome aunts in the whole world, who are we to reject it” Tears starts falling like rain, not out of sadness, tears of joy mixed with a little laughter.
I started to think since a long time ago that I’m lucky to have them beside me. Other than my girls, they are my reasons to keep living my life. I can’t wait to tell them about the news.
The Girls’ Room
Iori's P.O.V
“I wonder what’s out there, in the other world?” I heard Naanya as she was touching the window. I am sitting on the edge of my bed, brushing my hair.
Other than being spoiled, she always has been curious to know about the other side. To be honest, except for Naanya we used to want to know about it too. Seeing as we might not get the answers to it, we gave up pretty early. Haruka-neechan was the earliest, she never held on to something for a long time. But after hearing stories from Mako who’ve been there before, Naanya never gave up. Instead, she holds on to the curiosity a lot more stronger now.
“There’s probably not much to see anyway” This negativeness could only come out of Haruka-neechan’s mouth. The both of us look at her as she is lying on the bed, playing with two metal balls.
“It’s the truth, if there is something, we would probably had lived there by now” She said without raising a brow. She starts to close her eyes, typically bored of the same topic everyday. It is boring but sometimes when the unexpected happens, we would never forget it. I smiled to myself, remembering some of the past memories.
I gestured at Naanya to sit next to me. She walks to me slowly in her dress. I started to brush her hair. Her hair is down past her shoulders, the same goes to Haruka-neechan. I kept mine longer, down to my waist and always in a straight manner. Naanya starts to run her fingers through her hair. Her right leg also began to fidget. I could feel that she’s nervous to ask me something. I rubbed her shoulder to make feel comfortable. She did.
“Iori-neechan, are we going to live like this forever?” I keep my silence and still brushing her hair. Can’t answer a question that even Haruka-neechan can’t answer.
It’s been 20 minutes of silence. I managed to braid her hair, tapping her shoulder to show her face to me. Disappointment, is what her face is telling me. It hurts me to see her like that, what pains me more is I can’t do anything about it. Looking at Haruka-neechan for help, it was useless. She was sleeping. Thinking about what I should do, suddenly I have an idea. I grab her right hand and wrap her pinky finger with mine, looking directly into her eyes.
“I want you to promise me that… you will wish with your whole heart to escape from this boring life and never give up on it, because even though it doesn’t work on me or Haruka-neechan, I know that it will definitely grant yours” she nodded and with our thumbs, we seal the deal. We heard a groan from Haruka-neechan.
“You better wish your hardest, because I can’t sleep forever. I’m not a cat you know” We both smiled, that means we know that Haruka-neechan trusts her.
Our bedroom door was knocked. We said ‘come in’ simultaneously. The person then opened the door, we were greeted by Haruna who was grinning from ear to ear.
“Come downstairs, there’s an important family meeting”
