Dracula's Daughter

12. Darkness Taking Over

(Picture of Mamoru Vladimira Tepes)

It has been a full week, since the incident with the full moon and the Tepes siblings started school not to long after either. Rose had been avoiding everyone, she still made breakfast, but she always stayed in her room, and never came out until everyone was either gone or asleep. Rose felt..........evil. Now that she accept her evil side, her powers began getting out of control. You see Rose's father sealed them away, but as Rose grew up one by one each power would unlock itself and she would master how to control it. However, since Rose accepted her dark, sadistic side all her powers were unlocked, and each of her emotions triggered a rush of power.

That is why her room was a mess. Her windows and mirrors were shattered by her telekinesis, half of the room was either covered in ice, or scorch marks from fire, and finally it was completely dark in her room, no color just darkness. There was no light and Rose's sobs and pants for breaths were the only thing heard in the room. She sat on her bed, near the wall , arms wrapped around her legs, and face in her knees. Her hair was fanned around her like a silver curtain between her and the darkness. Rose's hair grew even longer, so now it dragged on the floor like a wedding dress, and her Ivory complexion now turned porcelain, her already red lips were fuller and shinier, and her eyes. Oh her beautiful unique golden eyes were changing. The were still golden, but every now and then when she grew angry her eyes would flash their vampric color, then when they would return to normal, there would be a red ring around her pupil, and the red would blend with the gold creating a sunset color. In Rose's eyes, she was turning in to a monster, she even thought of taking her life a few times, but she couldn't help but think of how her family would feel.

Currently, Rose was crunched up in a ball, face in her knees, an her hair was covering her. She wasn't crying anymore, but she didn't want to come out in fear that she would harm her precious family. rose sniffled and began to sing a lullaby that her brothers said their mother use to sing.

"Negai dareka ga

Sotto nagareru shiro ni

Kawaitaku no kato de
Hairo no watashi wa
Tada jitte kietei ku no

Miteta

Hoshi wo atsumete
Tsukuru suna no oshiro ni
Watashi no sasayaka na inori
Koborete ochiru
Sono ashimoto wo
Machibuseta nami ga sarau

A world of darkness.
A world of silence.

Kie kakaru inori
Kaze ni aorare nagara
Sore demo tomori tsuzukete
Watashi ga ikudomo motsure nagara
Hieyuku te de
Tsukuru suna no oshiro wo
Machibuseta nami ga sarau
Anata e" The sound of clapping startled Rose and she looked up to find herself staring in to blue eyes. The owner of the blue eyes, was a young man who looked no older than 20 years old, he had black hair and was wearing a dress shirt." Ma-Mamoru Nii?" Rose questioned, as Mamoru wiped his sister's tears away.

" Rose, why are you crying? Show me your perfect smile." Mamoru said in his silky voice Mamoru was one of the kndest brothers, he was the fourth son and like his name sake, he was a protector. He protected all his younger siblings the best he could, and he comforted Rose whenever she needed, even if he was half way around the world sometimes Mamoru began caressing Rose's cheek and Rose leaned in to her brother's touch." I'm proud of you Imouto Chan, so is Sano, and Father, even Stefan is proud of you." Stefan was the second eldest and the most emotionless brother out of the siblings.

" Are you all proud that I'm turning into a monster?!" Rose asked harshly, as her eyes flash, making Mamoru gasp in awe.

He hugged his little sister and whispered in her ear ever so quietly." We're proud that you managed to control your dark side without hurting anybody, and that you finally accept your darkest points." Rose looked at Mamoru in uncertainty.

" But if I hut anyone-"

" You won't." Mamoru said in a firm tone." I know you won't hurt them, so go. Talk to them, they are very worried about you Imouto Chan." With that, Mamoru kissed Rose's forehead, and in a blink of an eye he was gone, just like that. Rose sighed and decided that today, she would go to school. She dressed in her , she decided to put her long hair in a high ponytail, so now her floor length hair was behind her calves. Rose sighed and slowly, yet softly walked to the front door where her brothers were bound to be. Surprisingly enough she found the others in her school uniform as well, so she thought that they were now going to her school, for the time being. The others didn't seem to notice Rose walk into the room, but Kaito and Subaru did.

" Rose?" Subaru asked, and everyone turned to the female, standing infront of the staircase, looking down at the floor.

" Good morning." Rose said softly, and Kaito flashed infront of her, making her flinch in surprise, but still looking down.

Kaito gently put his hand under her chin to make her look up at him and he gasped in awe at her new eyes. The red and gold seemed to be dancing with one another and Kaito couldn't help but stare at her eyes. He then took notice of her hair and the other differences in her appearance," What.......happened to you?" Kaito asked and Rose sadly smiled.

" We are going to be late for school, Kaito Nii." Rose said, as she gently looked away and walked away from him to Seiji and Reiji. She bowed deeply and said, with her head down," Forgive me for not........making an appearance. I was having............trouble with the turn of events." She looked up and everyone had the same reaction, Kaito and Mamoru did. If they thought she was beautiful before, than she was a goddess now.

" I now understand." Seiji spoke softly, and he ruffled Rose's hair to reassure her.He cleared his throat afterwards and said," Now let's go." They all pile in to a limo, which surprisingly held all of them, and everyone couldn't help but stare at Rose.

" Did you change because of your choice, Imouto Chan?" Iori asked and Rose slowly turned to him and smiled sadly.

" Yes. I locked myself in my room, and I broke down, I can't help but feel like I am trapped in a cage with all this power swirling inside me and it's just waiting for when I break." Rose said as she moved her hand in front of her." I'm scared. I fear that, I can hurt you all." Rose said softly, Daisuke threw his rabbit at her and Rose looked at the stuff animal in confusion, but she hugged it anyway.

" You could never hurt anyone Tsuki Chan." Yuki spoke, and Yui nodded while smiling.

" You are just too kind for that." Yui said, and Rose pursed her lips, but looked away and snuggled into the rabbit, already feeling darkness and doubt growing in side her.

'Or maybe you're just too weak and pathetic.' A shrill voice sneered and Rose's eyes widened, but nobody noticed.' That's right, succumb to my power, embrace the dark side.' Rose's eyes flashed a catlike green, but they returned to their reddish gold, but Rose's body was no longer.....in her control anymore.

" Imouto Chan, are you alright?" Satoshi asked, bringing everyone's attention to the silverette.

'Rose' looked at everyone in the car, and gave them a chilling smirk, that made the Sakamakis and Tepes go over the edge," Of course I am. Never better." 'Rose' turned to look out the window and once again her eyes flashed a catlike green color, like a certain whore's eyes once were.
