Fanfic: Blood, Tears and Diamonds
is a young, red-haired woman with big, brown eyes. And I have to admit: it is beautiful. Yet. Something is strange.
"April," she says friendly and her red-painted lips smile, a warm, motherly smile - at least she tries, "It's nice that you are finally here. You have grown up!"
She looks me up and down. But when she notices my confused look, she is taken aback. Several feelings flicker over her young face, confusion, then a realization and finally disappointment distort her delicate facial features.
"Of course, you can't remember anything!" she mumbles, her eyes fixing me thoughtfully.
"I'm sorry," why am I feeling so bad now, please?
Ramona just nods, "You don't need to apologize, April!" now she's smiling again - wait a minute, is that feeling of guilt in her eyes?
I watch her irritated as she leans back and, lost in thought, wraps a strand of hair around her slender fingers. Just like me when I think about it ... I shake my head vigorously. Two cups of coffee are placed in front of us.
Xian smiles encouragingly at me, “Here you go.” Then he nods to the headmistress and disappears through a door on the other side of the room.
"Where is he going?" I ask, suddenly nervous. Now I am alone with this woman."Say hello to your little brother, I think," replies Ramona and lets go of the curl she just had between her fingers.
"Well, April. Before I can let you into your apartment, we have to do a little test with you to see who you ..."
I interrupt her by jumping up.
"Stop! I don't plan to stay here!"
She looks at me in disbelief.
"Erm, I mean," I'll sit down again, "I'll go home again."
Ramona leans forward, supports her elbows on the table top and interlocks her fingers.
"So, you want to go home again. And how do you intend to come back to Blanca Venezia? Do you want to write a proposal to the Heavenly Ones?"
She laughs, "April, how do you think they'll leave you behind again?"
Somehow, I was beginning to dislike her.
"I'm not a threat or anything," I say irritably, clenching my fists.
"Oh no?" she raises an eyebrow, just like Xian did earlier. Then she opens a hologram screen on her desk with a playful, elegant snap of her fingers. My name is on the file.
"July 21, 2109. Attack on a classmate in front of everyone in the school yard. The attacked person was admitted to hospital with bite wounds and high blood loss."
She looks at me, there is something derisive, something provocative in her eyes.
"December 10th, 2109. Freaked out during an argument with my aunt. Aunt, Vera Carpulette, was admitted to the emergency room seriously injured, but was released a week later.
January 1, 2110. After a party April came home from drunk, several teenagers were found bite wounds containing the DNA of the above.
May 31, 2110. After an argument with his boyfriend, Innocence Gray (Jace for short), his doctor found deep scratches on his back and arm, as well as several bite marks on his neck and upper body.
June 9th, 2110. After the separation from Innocence Gray (Jace for short) there were, according to aunt, several suicide attempts and self-harm on the part of April.
June 18th, 2110. After a night in which she did not come home, it turned out that she was with said ex-boyfriend, who had further scratches and bites. "
Another look like that.
"July 1st, 2110. After the second separation from Innocence Gray (Jace for short) April became ..."
“Stop it!” I knock my chair over. I'm terribly hot, my hands are shaking, “Stop it!” Tears of anger burn in my eyes as I glare at them angrily and wish my looks could kill.
But the headmistress is still alive and sitting in her red armchair and looks at me, calmly.
"Do you see?" she says and also gets up, "You can no longer go home. It would be far too dangerous for you and your fellow human beings. Especially for you."
I can only stare at them.
"That ... that's not true. I could never Mii ... I could never ..." I break off, tears run down my face, leaving hot marks on my glowing skin."April," Ramona comes around the table and puts a hand on my shoulder. She is trembling. "I can promise you that ..." I tear myself away. Your touch disgusts me.
"I'll apply anyway!" I hiss and turn on my heel. She tries to hold on to me.
"April, stay!"
I hesitate for a moment, but then I storm off. Just get away from this woman, away from this damn file, away from me ...
And then I stand outside and behind me the door slams shut with a loud crack.
Now I need a cigarette first.
