My memories start ten years ago, when I was only five. Innocent. Ignorant. Lacking intelligence. That day, 10 years ago, lost, alone and afraid, I sat in the snow.
It was white; Pure. It was beautiful. For a moment, I forgot my fear and stared at it, in total admiration. A smile lingered on my lips.
Then I saw it. Red dotted the white landscape. It didn't make sense. Snow was white, wasn't it? Why...
Footprints...Who had made them? My parents? I tried desperately to remember them but my mind was blank...The sound of someone walking towards me...Perhaps I wouldn't need to remember...
"Mamma?" I turned, eager to see her face...Not that I remembered what it looked like.
"Are you lost, little one?" It wasn't either of my parents; Instead, a few metres away from me stood a tall, handsome, well dressed, nice looking gentleman and he was smiling at me.
I nodded. Maybe he would help me find my parents.
"Then may I relieve you of your blood?" His smile widened, revealing blood stained, dagger-like teeth.
I was traumatised. I wnated to scream but I couldn't even manage a whisper. All I could do was sit there, wide-eyed and shivering as he drew closer, his eyes turning crimson.
He knelt next to me, his cold fingers reaching for my arm to pull me closer. Suddenly he reeled backward with a cry of agony. The shock stirred me from my scared trance. I jumped to my feet...He was dead...
"Pathetic...You disgrace our kind..." a new voice beside me murmured.
I turned around. There stood a boy of about 15. His eyes were grey and his blond hair, about 2 or 3 shades lighter than mine, blew in the wind. His body was spattered with blood. Dispite this, I found him alluring...Attractive...
"Are you ok?" His grey eyes met mine.
I nodded.
"...I'll take you somewhere safe, ok?" He held out a blood covered had toward me.
I looked at my mitten and then accepted his offer. I didn't know where we were going but I somehow knew I could trust him.
"Miss Uniqua, would you take care of her please?" I heard him say minutes later.
"Of course...You can stay awhile too..."
He smiled and accepted her offer.
she handed me something wiggly on a plate and gave me a spoon. I stared at it blankly. What was it? Was it safe?
"It seems, Yuki, that this girl has forgotten that jello can be eaten."
He laughed and sat next to me taking the plate and spoon from my hands. " It's food..." He tried to get me to eat it.
I stared at him...
"Say 'ahhh"..."
It was then that I spotted them. His teeth...I leaned closer reaching out with a curious finger and touching the tooth...I reeled backwards in shock. He too had those sharp teeth which I feared...But strangely enough, I didn't fear him...
"Would you like some tea?" My new adoptive mother asked him.
"Thank you but I have to go."
"Really? Well, good luck Yuki."
He looked at me and smiled. " Bye, princess." Then he turned and walked away.
Slowly, I built up the courage to dash after him. I wanted to thank him...I grabbed his coat tail. He looked back.
"Y-Yuki-sama..." His lonely eyes brightened a little and he hugged me.
"I'll miss you..."
I'll never forget that...
