*Roku's POV*

My name is Roku Kanno, I'm 6 years old and have two older siblings, Aiden and Kyraiei. My parents names are Sara and Hidan. As I was growing up, I asked a lot of questions. Answers that I probably wouldn't get until I was 10, or so what my parents told me. Being a little girl growing up is hard enough, when you have two siblings to look up to. But being a little girl in a family of very well known vampire hunters was really dangerous, and only being 6 and not known the full truth of the underworld and it's creatures, is even worse. I always heard stories from my older brother and sister. Saying how vampires are evil with huge fangs that they will dig into your skin and take all your blood away. Aiden made sure to tell me these stories or stories like this just to make sure I didn't go outside alone. Kyraiei told him that he was mean for scaring me, though I wasn't afraid, I wanted to see a vampire. I was different from my siblings, they were always going out late at night with my dad, and leaving me with my mom. I never understand this and my parents never really told me why. Told me that I would know when I was older.

When they did come home, dad always made sure to tell my mother to take me to bed and make sure I was tuck in that I wouldn't get out of my bed. By this time I would be too tired and just curling up with my doll. I didn't know anything about that vampire world. I didn't know my parents hunted them, would bring them to the house and torture them until they got bored and killed them. I would hear the screams, but I was 6 and thought it was the tv. Though I did see them kill someone before. I screamed and Kyraiei held me, telling me that everything was okay. I never got out of bed since then when they came home.

We lived a few miles outside of town, in my father's family log cabin, mansion that been in the family for over 100 years old. There were always these pictures over the mansion. Of everyone that own the house before my father did. There were interesting things too. Things like fangs of so call vampires, there were weapons with steel and wood around. In the basement there were cells to keep someone hold but they were stronger then your jail cells. My grandfather was the one that made them. In the backyard there was this random wooden pole that was in the ground. It looked burned up but still stand strong. I asked Aiden about it and he told me when it comes to vampires, that the only way to make sure they don't come back was to burn them alive. My parents flipped when he told them that and send him to his room. I was so confused but they told me to not worry about it. I always loved to play in the woods, but I know there were some days that they wouldn't even let me leave the yard. Did I listen to them? Well no, who would. Rules are meant to be broken.

One day, I was going outside to play but I didn't get far when Aiden stopped me.

"Don't go too far out today, make sure that you stay in the yard. The woods are not safe right now." In a way I wish I would have listen to him that day. But I didn't and I waited for him to go into the house before running off into the woods. I got to a clearing and was just playing with my doll. It was a warm windy day and I could feel my hair blowing in my face. I just watched the animals and just keep playing with my doll. I didn't even know of the danger that lurked out there, watching, wondering when to make his move. A little 6 year old, alone.

This random guy came into view and he was walking toward me. And I didn't run, didn't yell. I didn't know who or even that he was very dangerous. "A little girl all out by herself. But what's even funny is that you're a Kanno. Clearly not filled in on things yet or you would be running." He walked in front of me and knee down. He grabbed my wrist and just looking me in the eyes. "Hm, like all Kanno's you can't be control. Your family is really interesting." He smirked and I seen fangs, but I was in shock, this was the first time I seen a vampire.
