She was standing in front of the casement, staring at the ponderous rain, holding a suitcase, and wearing a backpack. She was wearing a navy blue gown that wasn't looking expensive but she was still looking like an angel in it. Her light blonde hair and pink eyes were shining in the absence of light.
Instantaneously a girl sneaks out from behind, she hugged her and she was sniffing.
'Roselind… pl…please don't go.'
Her eyes were full of tears moreover she tried to snatch Roselind's suitcase but she couldn't. For a moment she had startled Roselind.
'Hey hey, Flora we have already talked about it.', said Roselind while rubbing her back to soothe her.
'I know I know but...'
Roselind wiped Flora's tears, she herself was on the verge of tears.
'Don't worry I'll stay in touch with you through my cellphone, now go to school the bus is waiting for you.'
She nodded her head while pouting and ran out. Roselind was living in an orphanage and Flora was close to her.
Just a few days ago Veenish the caretaker of the orphanage had told Roselind that she was going to be adopted by a noble family. She had also asked Roselind's acquiescence and Roselind immediately accepted.
Her other fellows especially Flora tried to stop the adoption but still, she wanted to go.
Meanwhile, she was looking at the rain swiftly she saw a woman that was wearing a long black coat was scrutinizing the orphanage house beside her there were two bodyguards.
After a while, she entered and was holding an umbrella, she was walking on the gravel path in the garden that leads to the orphanage house.
She was gorgeous with her natural beautiful green eyes and light blond hair. Roselind was looking at her and was thinking that maybe she knows her but couldn't recall her.
One of her guards knocked on the door and the caretaker opened it.
Veenish was excited to see her, she warmly greeted by bowing and greeted, 'Welcome, Queen.'
'It has been a while Vaneesh.'
Suddenly the Queen gaped at Roselind.
'Finally, I found you, Rosie.'
She warmly smiled at Roselind and grabbed her tightly. She hugged her for a while and then she looked into her pink eyes that were astonished.
'You still have Rose eyes like your mother Rosie.'
Roselind was fazed.
'Thank you, Thank you so much for taking care and fostering her.', said lady, and she old her hands.
'Please don't mention it. I…I vampire merely did a job for my savior. It's my pleasure to help you. I'm so honored.'
'Hmm... I'm so glad that I have found her. So Roselind are you ready to come with me?'
'Yes.', said Roselind.
'Well, I'll have to take her with me right now.'
'As you wish, it would be better if we could have...'
'Next time Vaneesh. Take care of yourself along the house.'
As Queen and Roselind walked towards the door a guard opened it and he opened another umbrella for Roselind, he took both of her bags. As she stepped in rain the rain seemed harsher, it was hitting her umbrella fiercely.
When she left the house she stared at it for a while just like Queen. The Queen raised her hand and touched Roselind's shoulder.
'It's time to go home, Rosie.'
Roselind was quiet and she nodded her head. Roselind sat in the car beside Queen and Queen was passing smiles to Roselind. She didn't know what to do so she also passed back smiles to her. The car was at high speed on the empty roads.
'Rose do you know who I'm?'
Rose thought for a second and then said, 'I'm sorry I… I don't, but it feels like I know you.'
'Do you remember anything about your parents?'
'I do but cannot recall much.'
'What is your father's and mother's name?'
'Alexis and Catherine.'
Queen sighed and said, 'Well Thank God you remember that much. Now listen to me I am your mother's sister 'Aunt Jane'.
Roselind recalled some memory of Queen that she was holding her hands in the garden and was wearing a beautiful white gown.
'Can you tell me who I am?'
'Don’t worry, I'll, but it will be good to learn things slowly. Your father was the commander of knights of Vactoria so your family is precious to us.'
Roselind realized one thing since she had met Aunt Jane and it was that her aunt was a Queen of Vactoria. Roselind was confused, in all these years she knew that she was from a noble family but this was the most noblest and royal rank she could have ever imagined.
'Then where are my parents?'
'What have I told you? My dear Rosie it will be better to acknowledge things slowly.'
'I understand Queen.'
'Huh? Queen? You don't have to be formal. You are like a daughter to me therefore you should call me Mom. Okay?'
She was quite displeased but let it go and smiled towards Roselind.
'Understand Rosie?'
'Yes, M...mom.'
Jane smiled at her warmly and Roselind was feeling alive.
'Rosie it is a long way back to home therefore take a nap.'
When Roselind opened her eyes her head was on Jane's lap and Jane was warmly smiling. She instantly raised her head and was embarrassed.
The driver said, 'Ma'am we have reached.'
The car entered inside a big mansion, a guard opened the door of the car.
'Get up Rosie, follow my lead.'
She stood up and was more astounded than ever, there was a grey villa that was looking like a castle in front of her and it was surrounded by lots of gardens wildly. Meanwhile, the rain was pouring lightly it was 5 pm, after a long journey they had finally reached.
Roselind was escorted by Jane and by many other servants. As she stepped inside the villa she was stunned because she had never been to a mansion especially this tremendous, pristine, luxury. It had grey glistening marble tiles that had less friction. The ceiling was beautifully designed and had lots of chandeliers.
'Nancy set the table we'll have lunch together. Has Noah and Walker came back from school?'
'My lady the Walker has but Noah is still at school. Then should I give Walker a call?'
'Yeah! Do that.'
'Why Noah hasn't come?'
'Walker had told me that he is giving a test that has started late.'
There were lots of servants in the Mansion. Everyone was busy with some kind of work and all of them had greeted Roselind warmly. They all bowed to her together.
'Every listen this is Roselind I have already mentioned about her and she is also your master. Come Roselind I'll show you your room.'
Both of them walked through the stairs on the second floor. There was a circular staircase and those had beautiful white marble tiles like pearls.
The second floor was pristine too. It had many windows, beautiful corridors. Roselind was thinking that she will surely astray here.
After a moment servents opened a door Aunt Jane said,' Here we are, Rosie, this is your bedroom I hope you'll like it. I'll leave you here for a moment I know that you want to take a bath, there is a bathroom and some new clothes are also in this bedroom's wardrobe so make yourself comfortable.'
'Thank you so much, Mom.'
Roselind formally bowed at Jane. Janes smiled at her,
'No dear this is nothing, this is your maid, her name is…'
'I am Anna Ma'am.', said the maid by giving a bow to Roselind.
She was wearing a black paint coat just like other maids. By looking at those maids Roselind was recalling memories.
'Make sure Anna to help her with all things.'
'Yes Ma'am'
Roselind was in her room and the maid was standing beside her. Aunt Jane had gone downstairs.
'Let me help you with bath Miss Roselind.'
'Huh! No no, I can help myself.'
'As you wish my lady.'
'Please can you leave me alone for a while I'll call you when I'll need your help?'
'I'm sorry I can't, Queen will be displeased.'
'I want to be alone for a while.'
'Ummm … Then I'll be standing outside you can give me a call.'
As soon as Anna had left the room Roselind locked her room and she started to look around. In front of her, there was a queen bed which was white and was made of hardwood, it was surrounded by two side tables.
The room had a very large space with lots of windows which were covered by shutters. Roselind opened the shutter of a window, from the glass she saw that mansion was surrounded by never lasting gardens.
She closed the shutter and saw that on the other side of her room there is a wide study area that had a considerable white study table with a comfy white chair and white cupboard having some book near it there was a beautiful white sofa.
There was also a dressing room that had a dressing table and two doors. One led to the washroom whereas another door was a sliding door that led to the wardrobe.
In the orphanage, Roselind had to share a room with other girls and didn't have these luxuries in her room.
She knew that she belonged to rich a family because whenever she had recalled her old memories she had always found herself in big mansions.
She went to take a shower and was thinking that she can finally know who she is. For the past 12 years, she has been passing through childhood trauma. Her memories of her childhood were blurry.
Every single night she had thought 'Who am I ?' while living in an orphanage.
When Roselind opened her wardrobe she found a lot of dresses hanging. She took the light violet one, it was a mini frock. She wore black tights under the frock and let her hair open. There was a knock at the door from Anna.
'My lady, the lunch is ready,' said Anna.' Oh my lady your hairs are wet let dry them for you instantly.'
Roselind wanted to dry them on her own but she couldn't find a hairdryer in the short time whereas Anna just opened one of the drawers of a dressing table and she started to dry Roselind's hairs.
'My lady you have very nice hairs.'
'Thanks.'
'They are a lot like Queen's hair.'
Roselind hairs were slightly wavy and light blond. Her mother and aunt were sisters and both of them had light blond hairs. Roselind aunt was the Queen of Vactoria whereas her mother 'Catherine' was the wife of the commander of knights.
'My lady your hairs are dried should I make any hairstyle.'
'No'
'Ok, then let's go for lunch.'
Roselind followed Anna and they entered into an enormous dining room with a tremendous table. There was plenty of Raw meat and blood. All chairs were empty except two, in one chair her aunt was sitting, and in the other chair, a handsome boy was sitting.
He had green eyes just like her Aunt and blonde hair. He raised from his chair and bowed towards Roselind.
'Hi, I'm Walker and I welcome you here.'
Roselind bowed at him too. She was a bit nervous.
'Hi, I'm Roselind. Thank you for having me.'
He was the same age as Roselind. And he was wearing a beautiful uniform. A white coat with navy blue stripes all around of the coat. Inside that coat, he was wearing navy blue tops and blue pants
His warm smiles were resembling a lot like Aunt Jane's.
Servants were serving Roselind, a maid poured blood in her glass whereas others filled Roselind's plate with some meat.
They all started to eat quietly. Roselind was so nervous she didn't try to look at anyone and was just eating quietly.
'Rosie do you want to join college?' said Jane while smiling and her face was on both of her hands.
Roselind thought for a second and then she replied,' I want to go but….'
'No buts, you are going starting tomorrow.'
Walker was smiling at Roselind, second thing that Roselind realized was that they all smile too often. It was already 6 pm every person in the Mansion was a Vampire.
Roselind was from a Royal family, in Vampires only Rare Vampire was considered a Royal because there were not many of them. Roselind herself didn't realize that she was a Rare Vampire in orphanage Veenish had realized her rareness.
Everyone had finished their lunch and the rain had stopped too. There was strangely silence that was making Roselind uncomfortable. Maybe it was because she never had a quiet lunch with other fellows in the orphanage.
'Rosie, I want you to follow me.', said Aunt Jane while leaving her chair.
Roselind raised from her chair and she followed Aunt Jane. This time no servants were following them. Mansion had a lot of arcades, they had to travel through arcades and then finally they reached to a room. It was dark in there, Roselind didn't want to go in there but still, she followed. Jane closed the door, in the center of the room a crystal wall was shining so brightly.
'Roselind do you know that you are a Rare Vampire?' asked Aunt Jane.
'Yes, but it hadn't been a long since I realized.'
'I see, I want you to put your right hand on this wall.'
She was hesitating to put her hands.
'Don't worry Rosie, you won't go anywhere it will just activate your powers so you can use them any time and will tell that how powerful you are.'
Roselind touched the wall, at once the wall changed its
color from white to light pink. The whole room was lightened up with pink light. She herself was glowing into pink, her fangs grew more and a nautical star appeared on her neck which was of a Rose pink color too. It resembled a tattoo that was glowing insanely. Aunt Jane was trying to read the crystal meanwhile her eyes were glowing too.
'Roselind you can leave it.'
Roselind was out of breath and was panting a lot. Her legs were trembling due to which she sat on the floor.
'As expected Rosie, you are more powerful than your mother.'
'I do have powers?' asked Roselind while opening her eyes widely.
'Haha Yes, my innocent fairy you have but you have never used. Now I have activated them so you can use them but still, you need some practice.'
'I need practice but which kind of powers do I have?'
'It will be better to learn things slowly my dear Rosie. Can you get up ?'
'I… I can't.'
Jane's eyes iris started to glow and Roselind was raised from the floor, she was floating on air, and then suddenly both of them appeared in Roselind's room from nowhere. She nonchalantly settled Roselind on her wide white bed. It seemed so magical to Roselind.
'How… can we….'
Jane put her finger on Roselind lips while smiling. Then she clipped her thumb and middle finger, immediately Roselind's dress changed into a plain white sleeping gown.
'Good night Rosie tomorrow is school'
Jane disappeared again but this time she disappeared alone. She had left poor her poor Rosie astound. Roselind tried to get up from her bed but her legs were still quivering due to the weakness. It was dark all around but Roselind's eyes were glowing and she was watching the ceiling. She was trying to believe that she really has powers, just like her Aunt vanished and how the crystal wall had explicated about her powers.
At once she noticed that she was able to see in the dark without lights. Her eyes were glowing and everything around her was Rose pink but, was very clear and not painful.
'I am hallucinating, no I am not.' said Roselind to herself.
She tried to sleep but she couldn't, it had been two hours and she still couldn't sleep. She wanted to talk to Flora but her cellphone was in and her backpack which wasn't in the bedroom. She stepped down and this time she was totally fine.
She opened the door by slowly rotating the doorknob. In the hallway, it was dark except for Roselind's glowing iris. She wanted to see her maid but Anna wasn't there. So Roselind had to sneak out in search of her bag. She didn't desire to go out but because she had to call Flora as she had promised her.
She was walking alone through the hallways without making any sound and tried to seek any maid but there wasn't any, maybe it was already midnight, therefore, she could only see empty halls. Roselind wanted to go downstairs however she was already off track. Now she simply wanted to go back to her room.
Meanwhile, she was thinking that it will be embarrassing if her Aunt would find out that she had sneaked out.
After a long walk, she found a room with an open door. It was dark in there, it wasn't anyone's room but a sitting area with lots of pictures. She stepped in thinking that maybe today she'll have to sleep here.
She saw a lot of pictures on a walk, most of them were of her Aunt, Walker, and of the other people that she didn't know. While watching photos she saw a photo of a woman who was resembling Roselind. She moved her eyes close to the photo. Roselind was captivated by that photo and tears started to roll down from her eyes.
A boy of the same age as Roselind was leaning his elbow on the wall was looking towards Roselind.
'Are you an assassin?'
Roselind looked at him with sniffy eyes, she remained silent, and that a young boy appeared in
front of her as fast as thunder. Roselind gasped because of his sudden fast approach. He was so close to Roselind, her heart was beating fast maybe it was because she was appalled of him. His glamorous pearl blue eyes which were glowing and were directly looking into her teary glowing Rose eyes. He was tall and had shining black hair which was pretty long till his neck.
He apprehended that the girl standing next to him is a Vampire too.
'I don't like to repeat my words,' he said with his cold expressions that had thrilled Roselind.
She gulped her saliva and said, 'I… I'm Rose… lind not an….an assassin.'
'Roselind?'
She nodded her head steadily, there was silence for a moment and he recalled about her.
'I see, what are you doing here at this time?'
'I…I got lost.'
'Do you remember how your room is from outside?'
'It has white a door a…and which is slightly opened for now.'
'Almost every door is white in Mansion,' he said ' Ok follow me for now.'
She started to follow him and was walking behind him. After a little walk, Roselind wanted to know his name. She was thinking that maybe she had seen him in her childhood because his light blue pearl eyes sounded a lot familiar. He was inappreciably formally dressed, his white shirt was inside his black pants.
'What was your maid's name?'
'Anna.'
He took out his cellphone and called someone.
'Bring Anna to my room.'
They reached to his room which was significantly bigger than Roselind's room.
'You can sit on sofa, 'he said.
Roselind quietly sat there and he was standing in front of a window. His room has painted all grey and all furniture was dark brown. In a minute, they heard a knock at the door.
'Come,' he said and Anna entered his room, her head was down.
'Take Roselind to her room.'
'Huh! My lady?' Anna gaped.
She was surprised and thinking how Roselind could be in his room especially it was pretty late.
'Don't need to be surprise,' he said while holding a cup 'She got lost take her to her room safely.'
'Yes My Lord I'll take her to her room.'
Roselind stood up, bowed to him and she said, 'Thank you for helping me.'
Roselind followed Anna and both of them left the room. Roselind wanted to know his name but she didn't dare to ask him. This time she tried to memorize the way to her room.
'My lady why did you got lost.'
'I wanted to take my backpack and I thought that I could find you so I stepped out from my room.'
'I'm sorry, my lady tomorrow I'll make sure to show you all around so you can never get lost.'
'By the way, do you know who he is?'
'He is a crown prince and he is empress son.'
'He is a crown prince?'
'Yes My lady '
'I didn't offend him did I?'
'Haha, My Lady Crown Prince is not that type of person.'
'Hmm, and what is his name.'
'Noah.'
They finally reached her room and Roselind took a deep breath.
'Finally, I can sleep.'
'My lady, wait a second I'll bring you your bags.'
Roselind was so tired that she threw herself on the bed and slept until Anna came. Anna placed her bags and then she left the room quietly.
The next day Anna stepped into Roselind's room she found her sleeping so peacefully. Her light blonde hairs were all around on the pillow, she didn't want to wake Roselind up but she had to because today Roselind had to go college.
'My lady, my lady it's time to wake up.'
Roselind opened her mesmerizing Rose pink eyes then she stood up from the bed.
'Maybe I'll have to go to college today.'
'Yes, my lady I have brought uniform. I'll be outside.'
The uniform was so lovely, it had a navy blue shirt and white coat just like Walker's uniform but instead of navy blue pants, the uniform had a navy blue skirt. She wore the uniform cheerfully while observing herself in the mirror she was thinking that her prior college didn't have a uniform. It was her first time wearing a uniform.
Her eyes caught the backpack and she took out the cellphone. She tried to call Flora however signals were not coming. Anna came in and she tied Roselind's hair into a ponytail.
'Anna I tried to call my friend but signal....'
'Signals weren't coming I know, your number and device aren't registered in the mansion, therefore, you can't call anyone from here. Nevertheless, I will register it for you just give me your phone number and model.'
Roselind wrote it on a piece of paper and gave it to Anna then she followed her till dining room. When Roselind reached into the dining room this time she saw that this time three people were sitting in the dining. Her eyes were frozen when she saw Noah.
'Good morning,' said Roselind said while bowing. Then she sat near Jane and servants filled her plate with raw meat and poured some blood.
'This is Roselind Noah,' said Aunt Jane, 'Rose, you are looking nice in this uniform. Jane and Walker both were smiling at her whereas Noah was just staring at her. He was sitting in front of him and he was nonchalantly eating his breakfast with a fork.
Roselind was so embarrassed when she thought about last night that he saw her crying while looking at the picture furthermore she didn't know way back to her house. She was feeling as a dumb and didn't dare to look at him.
After breakfast, Jane gave Roselind a modest backpack of navy blue which was looking expensive and was filled with some books.
'Aww! look at the three of you, you people got me reminded of my own time. I wish you a good day Rosie, please take care of her Noah and Walker.'
'Yes, Mom I'll take care of her.' said Walker while looking and smiling at Roselind.
The three of them walked out and a black Lambo was in front of them, a man opened the door for them. Roselind was sitting in between them. She was thinking that there are lots of seats so why I have to sit between them. After a while she moved to seat in front of theirs.
'Are you uncomfortable between us?' asked Walker while Roselind was walking to next seat.
'Huh! No, I just wanted to take a look at my books while going to college,' Roselind replied while smiling and pointing towards her bag which was in the front seat. The next seats were single so Roselind found them quite fine. In her mind she was thinking that yes Walker I was uncomfortable I don't like to sit between two boys and I never did.
The third thing that Roselind realized was that Noah never smiles.
