The Mansion

Chapter 4. Murders in Mansion Black

At breakfast the following day, Luna and Nelli shared a table, as they waited for their friends to finally come downstairs.

"And I'm telling you, Nelli," the brunette said as she finished telling her friend about the mysterious note she had found the previous night. "When I looked today, it was gone!"

"You probably left it somewhere else" Nelli said as she tried looking beyond the door.

"But my window was open yet again" insisted the light green eyed.

"You're being paranoid." The other one said.

"I'm no' being paranoid, I'm telling you, there was someone in my room last night!"

"Hey, calm down, I believe you." The raven haired said. "I also got one. but my roses were white and it didn't disappear."

"No' that you've noticed." Her friend replied.

"True enough" Nelli smiled

"Och well, you could be right, it might be nothing." Luna sipped her tea, crossing out the matter.

"By the way," Nelli said "did Daddy speak to you?"

"Aye, he did" Luna put her cup back down "apparently, we're tae be sisters!"

"Yay!" The raven haired exclaimed. "I want to see Mom's face when she finds out her new daughter sings too."

The girls laughed, celebrating, as the restaurant slowly filled up with people. As he spotted them. Near joined the girls.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"Nothing interesting." The brunette answered smiling. "Hi, I dinnae see you come in, how are you?"

"Could be better." Near said.

"No' surprised, you seem tae be down since yesterday." She added.

"It's nothing." He smiled at her.

Liar thought Nelli picking up a cookie.

"Anywho," Luna continued "we need tae practice that new song, wha' time is good with you?"

"I'm pretty much free today." He answered.

"Then I'll tell you the time later." The brunette said. "Have you seen Ulquiorra?"

"Not yet."

"Och, thanks anyway" She smiled, her friend nodded and left to join L and Nana who had just walked into the place.

"There's something you're hiding, aren't you?" Nelli added once Near was gone.

"Wha' are you talking about?" The light green eyed asked.

"Come on! You can tell me!" The raven haired pouted.

"It's just... I'm still thirsty." Luna answered, looking down at her cup.

"That's not all, is it?"

"Och, do I really have tae tell you?" The brunette asked, her friend nodded. "I'm a wee bit worried, that's it."

"About?"

"It's just bothering me." Luna began "You know the story tha' says vampires tend tae crave more for their loved one's blood?"

"Yeah, what about it?" Nelli asked.

"Because, as of right now, I crave for nobody's. I'm just thirsty."

"I see where this is going to." Her friend answered. "You see, it is not even true regarding Ryoma and I. But it's just a story. I mean, you might not have met him just yet."
