RaStro: Ramble of the Strongholds (On Hold)

The Strongholds

Yes, you are a vampire. Hiding from the shadows when light and powerful in the dark. Or so they thought. But you are special, you have the same blood of a vampire and mixed with a human blood. Knowing that your mother already died because she's human while your father is the vampire who claimed the throne of being the father of your clan.

Yes, you are already an adult to face things for your clan. You can already lead for it but no, you reject it for so many times. You rejected every plans of your father for you own good. Or so you thought 'for your blood'.

Noticing that every party is a meeting for humans and vampires again. Knowing that your father just wants peace for both categories. You already know that other humans know nothing about vampires. They just know that they don't really exist. But still, your shadows still lingers in this world.

Both humans and vampires only knows how they should be accept or how they should be respect. Ideas of both teams should be surrendered in peace and appreciation.

And that law, that rule, that proclaimed set up was because of your father.

He began to be opened about how will vampires take care of their thirst for human blood. He taught for how it will end a life to humans. He said that because of our thirst and hunger the humans will despite our existence. Because of his lessons, we can now control ourselves from thirst.

Now, that other humans know about vampires. Now that they respect, accept and learned new things from your empire they've decided to collide and build a connection or so we called partnership for peace and freedom.

Strongholds.

And that's how they called it.

For so many years of the trust and friendship the humans and vampire had.

Both sides lived with your fathers expectations. Seeing him with so much happiness is your so proud of.

But.

One day.

Seeing your father breathless.

Noticing the shards of his skin.

Knowing that his dead.

Without knowing who did this to him.

You cursed humans.

You claimed the darkness with anger.

You tried to find the reason why your great father died.

But no.

An answer is still unknown.

The humans who knows about vampires came to his burial while other vampires of your clan was discussing about what will happen next without your father, without their leader.

Whom should I trust now Pa? Your clan was freaking out there because of your absence. On the other side, The humans that you trusted saying sorry for what happened. What will I do now Pa? How can I trust anyone now?

So you ask yourself in exhaustion and disbelief. While tears are flowing down on your cheeks until the droplets fell on your fathers grave.

"Hey."

You hear a voice coming from your back so you turned around and you saw a woman in black looking at you while she's holding the hand a child.

You hurriedly hug the woman. Hearing her shush until you let out a scream crying for unknowns sake. She patted your head until you calmed down, you wiped your tears that won't fade away because its overflowing. You started to notice the stare of the child beside the woman infront of you.

"Who is she?" You asked the woman and a conclusion formed in your mind.

"She's my daughter." The woman speaks.

You can't deny the fact that the woman infront of you was like your mother, but you can't change the fact the she has a real daughter.

"Oh, I see." You replied fast and leaned down so that your height with the child leveled. "Hi, what's your name?" You asked the child which is still staring at you.

"Chain." The child anwered and noticing that she's a bit shy.

"Nice to meet you Chain. By the way, I'm Athea." You smiled a bit thingking that the kid will be open to you.

"Nice to meet you too Althea." The child replied you noticed that her hands gripped more for her mothers hand.

"Knowing that she's scared of you would please me. Haha!" The woman said and looked down on you. You let out a deep sigh and chukled a bit looking back at the woman.

You stand up and still looking at the child with the name of Chain.

"She's scared of me because I am her Master." You proudly said like your proclaiming Chain to be your own.

"Well, knowing that you are the kid of my friend here I think that you are already our master." The woman said making you realize what really awaits you.

You didn't respond to her because you already know what she really meant.

"See? You forgot the reality Master." You know that she's only teasing you but you still can't think of what you should say or what you should do.

You only looked on Chain. Stared for a minute and an idea lit inside your head. Then you looked on the woman with a grin forming on your face.

"No, not with that kind of idea Althea." The woman hurriedly said waving her left hand in front of you.

"Well, I am your Master right? So, spare with me for this Ma."

You didn't wait for the woman's response and started to smile while both the woman and the kid was confused from your actions.

You turned back around and looked on your fathers grave.

I will find the answer Pa. Thank you for this. I will only trust this two. I'll come back here again, I promise.

You said inside your mind knowing that your father will hear it. As you touch your lips with your fingers and next to your fathers gravestone.

. . . . .

"No! We won't accept that Mylady! You are the one who only have the bloodline of Master Guevarra's that's why only you will lead us!"

"That's right! We can't trust anyone for this! I can't trust that woman!"

"For oursake Mylady! I'm begging you! No one can replace you and your father's! Not with that woman!"

I can hear every explanation of both parties. Humans and vampires. I expected this along the way. Well, my idea was a bad shot for them but to me it is the big shot that I wanna do.

I want Clara to replaced me from this leading position. I don't really want to put the burden to her but then I don't really want this position. I know that she's just accepting this because I'm still her Master but I know that she's doing this for me, as her proclaimed daughter.

I really love the way she understands my decisions and desires. That's why I trust her for this mistake.

"I don't want to hear any nonesense from every each of you here inside my fathers room. My decision is final, I will give my leadership to Clara Fords. Now, if you don't want to accept my decision get out of this room and think about the things what will happen next to your clanholds."

I waited for their replies but as you can see they are worried for their sake. I can see that they only want peace for everyones sake. I can't blame them for that and I'm sorry for being this way to them.

"Any complaints now gentlemens?" I still waited for their answers but all I can hear was their sigh, the sign for their lost.

"Then, this discussion is done. From now on let my mother do her job, I will observe things behind so becareful of what you guys are planning to do." They can't blame me to threaten them because I know that they can't accept Clara as my mother now or that she's going to lead both ways for everyone.

And that's how I ended up being the daughter of the Madam behind the Strongholds Clan. And that's how I am called Master and Mylady.
