Thorns of the Past

Prologue

Unknown Past

As grey clouds menacingly covered the sky white snow particles fell and blanketed the white earth.

'Its cold...' A shiver rolled down my spine, my fingers gingerly touched the white snow. The tips of my fingers already too numb to feel the snows texture from the near zero temperature.

Looking around my red hair swayed with the soft wind.

'I'm all alone..' Tears pricked my eyes. Looking at the dark sky, the soft snow fall melted on my checks, mixing themselves with my falling tears.

'Why am I alone?' Numbly I picked myself off the snow covered ground, my small legs carrying me to the woods near a barley visible road.

The soft hum of a vehicle through the thick snowy woods sounds and drifts into my ears.The screeching of tires makes my head turn as I see a glossy black limousine stop beside me. The glossy frame allowed me to see my ragged appearance. My soft red hair a tangle mess, eyes red from crying earlier and cheeks and lips a bright red from the cold air that relentlesly brushed itself against my cheeks. The tinted window lowered itself revealing the people who rode inside.

"Look here brother, here's the small child." A snobbish aristocrats voice spoke, her blond hair tightly pulled in an up-do.

"My, my. What a delicious looking witch. Doesn't she look tasty." A similar looking boy peeks through the window his silver eyes glowing a deep red, a sinister smile showing his sharp fangs.

"Eekkkkk!!" A shrill cry escapes my mouth as I fumble over my small feet attempting to escape the red eyed monsters.

"Ah-ah-ah. Now be a good pet and yield." Slender arms captured me, holding my small frame captive as I was pulled into the limousine against my will.

That night I was captured by vampires and thrust into their world, and forced to become a "pet" to the Lunecius family.

I stood at one of their regular vampire parties when when Claudine the youngest daughter of the family pulls me aside and offers me as a "gift" to the aristocratic Ichijou family. Upon arriving at the Ichijou manor I was placed in the only son Takuma's possession.

"What's your name?" He kind smile spread across his face while he led me up the grand stairs.

"I don't have one." I meekly voiced my response not wanting to anger my new "master."

"That won't do at all." He frown marred his face, "We'll just have to give you one then. Do you have a name you like?"

"Anything is fine, Master Ichijou."

"Takuma is fine." He smiles his emerald eyes sparkling in genuine generosity.

I simply study my strange new Master. Why did he smile like that? Is it easy to smile as he does? My fingers unconsciously touch my lips that formed a thin line.

"Is it alright if you sleep with me until your room is prepared?" He asks opening a large mahogany door revealing a lushly furnished room, the king sized bed draped with cream colored sheets and gold. The room also decorated with the same colors.

"If it pleases you." I step into the room following behind Master Ichijou.

"We'll then why don't you go to sleep." He suggests in his kind voice.

A nod was my only response as I went to a corner and sat down.

"What are you doing?" Master asks a confused look clearly visible on his face.

"Sleeping."

A sigh left his parted lips as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Hearing no argument from Master I let myself fall asleep.

Takuma's P.O.V

The dull lulling sound of her heartbeat told me she was asleep. Winding my arms around her I gently lift her up and place her on the soft king sized bed, pulling up the large warm gold colored comforters to cover her sleeping form.

'No name, huh.' I silently ponder to myself. 'She obviously thinks of herself as an obedient slave... But with the people she was with before that's to be expected.'

I glanced at her peaceful face, she had the round face of a seven or eight year old, her red hair had a natural wavy texture, and her eyes were like the dark color of coal.

A knock on the door diverted me from my thoughts.

"Come in."

An elderly maid walks in holding a large vase full of large blooming roses, tiny droplets of moisture still clinking to the red petals.

"I deliver roses."

"Place them on the counter." I motion to the counter sitting near the bed.

"Yes, young master." She places them down and bows. "There is also an invitation attached to it." With another bow she clicks the door close.

"What are those?" A small voice asks surprising me.

"You're awake." I look over to see the small girl sitting up and staring at the roses that were beside her.

She nods staring at the roses intently.

"Have you never seen a rose before?" I question plucking a fully bloomed rose from the vase and handing it to her.

She shook her head, her fingers lightly grasping the thornless rose. Her nose tentatively sniffed the flower, her eyes sparkling slightly at its sweet aroma. She chews her bottom lip mulling something over and then bites some of the petals off.

"Petue! It's disgusting!!" She spits the chewed flowers out.

A snort escapes as I try to keep myself from laughing as her eyebrows crinkle in disgust. My laugher subsides as I look at the crimson red petals then at her hair.

"Rose." I spoke aloud receiving a curious look from the girl.

"I'll name you Rose." I gently ruffled her hair.

"But they taste nasty." She bitterly mumbled.

I chuckled ruffling her hair again.

So endearing right? I just love Takuma and I don't think there are any (completed) or enough stories for him. :>
