It was a dark, eerie, silent night. The roads were empty as I made my way back home. I had just gotten wood to put in the fireplace back at home. I always went at sunset to get wood since it was quieter that way. However, this night was different. Not even the crickets chirped. I had goosebumps and chills the whole way home.

After about 20 minutes, I stood in front of the door. I had a horrible feeling in my stomach. I could smell blood from inside the house. I panicked and opened the door in a rush. There I saw a horrifying sight.

I saw my mother above one of my brother's bodies. His face looked like it was torn up. I made a quick scan around the house just to see mangled bodies. Some were missing eyes, tongues, and limbs. I felt my stomach drop; I got the urge to throw up. She currently had her face buried in his neck, ripping it apart. I could see chunks of his skin and flesh flying as she moved her head from side to side. She seemed to be after something. That's when I noticed her looked at me. Her expression was different, it was dead. Her eyes once blueish eyes were now blood red.

She was fast. I blinked and she was in front of me. I felt adrenaline begin to course through my veins. She tried to grab me, but I ducked under her and ran. I looked for the nearest weapon, which was a knife. I grabbed it, but she was already by me once again. My body began to move on its own. I stabbed her in the chest, but she didn't seem too affected by it. She seemed in pain but wasn't going to die. As she was stalled I grabbed a wooden leg from an already broken table. I noticed she was trying to make her way to me. I gripped the stake harder, and I stabbed her in the neck. I pulled it out, watching the blood gush out. She still didn't fall. She suddenly bit me on the neck. It felt like I was being stabbed by knives. She was trying to kill me. I pushed her off using all of my strength. I gripped the stake harder, and I stabbed her again and again, in different places. She was weakened and fell to the ground. I pulled out the stake once more, and I stabbed her in the heart.

She stopped moving. I could taste her blood in my mouth.

That's when I heard light sobbing by the door. I turned around and saw my brother, Genya. "N-nemi?" he choked on his words and sounded confused. "Genya," I spoke up. "Mom?" he looked past me and at the sight. I was full of blood, our mother's blood. I had the stake in my hand, making me look like a monster. "I went to look for help," Genya spits out, starting to sob harder. "She was acting weird," he went on, wiping his tears.

I dropped the stake and made my way to him. "Sh, it's okay" I reassured him while I hugged him. He hugged me back, and he began to sob harder. While in the middle of hugging, I felt a sharp pain throughout my body. I pushed him away and fell to the ground. I winced, "Nemi?" Genya called out, sounding concerned. "Genya stay away," I told him, I could feel my blood pumping throughout my body. He took a few steps back.

I had a sudden craving for blood.

I looked up Genya. I could smell the blood inside of him. I wanted it. I ran up in front of Genya, making him fall back. His face was full of fear. I opened my mouth, about to bite him. Suddenly my body moved on its own, I shot back. "Fuck," I mumbled and stumbled away from him. I fought the urges.

That's when I could hear somebody coming up to us. "Oh my," I heard a woman's voice. I turned to the shadows and saw a couple. "He has some excellent self-control," the man spoke up as he made his way to us. "Amane, dear, please take care of the brother," he spoke looking at Genya. He made his way to me, "Are you okay?" he asked while looking inside the house. It was full of bodies. I nodded and looked back, "I didn't-" I was about to explain myself, but he interrupted me. "I know, don't worry" he smiled at me. He made me feel safe. He had a warmth to him.

He took me to where his wife went. There was an old-looking carriage, and Genya was already sleeping in there. "We are going to take care of everything," the woman spoke. " Just get some rest," she smiled at me. I laid down next to Genya who was slumped. I felt myself start to fall asleep. I closed my eyes and let the slumber take over.

I woke up inside a room. My bed was about 6 feet away from my brothers. I looked around observing the room. There was a bookshelf, dressers, and toys. I heard someone walking down the hallway. I turned towards the door as I heard it slowly creak open. "Oh! You're awake," The same woman from earlier spoke. I looked her in the eyes. "My name is Amane Ubuyashiki," she spoke. "My husband and I are going to try our best to take care of you and your brother. Though we may be busy most of the time, if you ever need anything just let us know," she gave me a warm smile.

I suddenly got the same feeling from earlier, the cravings. She noticed something was wrong with my expression, "are you okay?" she questioned, walking up to me. "I'm... hungry," I said. She suddenly grabbed my mouth and lifted my lip. She looked at my teeth, "hm..." she observed me. "We are going to figure out what's going on okay?" she tried her best to reassure me. "Just try to keep yourself under control," she told me. "I'll have someone bring food later for your brother and you," she started making her way out.

"Whatever you do, don't drink blood,"

She said that with a serious expression. I felt goosebumps and nodded. I saw her leave, and I laid back down. I looked over at Genya who was still asleep. He was so peaceful, I can't believe I almost hurt him earlier. He's my only family.
