Hidden Truth (Vampire Knight x Reader)

Ch. 5: Cursed · Part 1

[A couple days have passed since last chapter. Nothing has really happened in that time.]

The ground outside had been concealed by the molted flowers that spread across the ground. Finally a season of beauty has blessed the academy, making every inch seem even more charming than it was before. The trees held bright hues of green, speckled with pinks, purples and whites which occasionally drifted to the ground. The topiaries were no longer bare like they had been before in the chilly season.

My eyes fluttered open as I shifted under the silky covers. A light groan escaped my lips. I sat up, still drowsy and attempting to keep my eyes from shutting once again. After quickly glancing around the room I stood on the soft padded floor and smiled as I looked out the window. My face lit up, muttering to myself, still half asleep.

"Spring. It's finally here." My tone was soft and quiet since I was still trying to escape this small drowsy daze I was in. My eyes stayed fixated on the outside world which I now wanted to escape to. That was until my thoughts came to what I had been avoiding for the past few days. Night students.

I looked around my room before my gaze settled on my hands which rested in my lap.

"Ugh. Thanks brain." I muttered in a still tired tone. It wasn't long before there was a gently-firm knock that came from my door. My head turned to look at the large wooden door.

"Who's there?" I called out quietly, but loud enough for someone on the other side to hear.

Although hesitant a voice finally replied seconds later. "It's Ichijo."

I didn't recognize the name at first, but after a bit of thinking the name became more familiar. My body slid off the smooth sheets allowing my feet to reach the ground. I made my way over to the door, reaching out for the handle only to turn and pull it so the door would open. Although it was open it was only slightly, enough for us to see one another, but not wide enough for him to enter or me to leave.

"Why you are here Ichijo?" I said looking into his emerald green eyes which held a small tint of yellow within them. He wore a small yet kind smile which made me uneasy knowing how easily they could probably hide their true intentions behind their sly grins.

"I just wanted to come by and apologize on behalf of Hanabusa. He was out of line to drink your blood, but don't worry. He is being punished as we speak." His face remained the same as he spoke, never changing. Not once.

"Oh." I said quietly before continuing. "Well thank you very much Ichijo. I appreciate you stopping by to say that." My voice was quiet but firm. I was genuinely thankful for him taking time out of his day to come talk to me, but it was still unsettling for it to be out of the blue like this. He could have done this days ago when it had just occured.

Ichijo spoke up breaking the small silence that was strung between us.

"I should take my leave so you can get ready for your classes. I hope you have a great day (Y/n)."

"Okay and thank you Ichijo. Have a good day." I responded. Ichijo turned and began to walk away, his footsteps barely audible as he continued to wherever he was heading. Presumably back to the moon dorm before anyone else had spotted him.

A soft sigh passes my lips as I quietly shut the door and got ready for yet another dreadful day of school.

"Just get through the day and it'll be just fine." I said to myself setting off to my classes which were sure to be a struggle.
