The Kuran Twins

RW Chapter 2

Sakura's POV 5 years old

It's been a few days since that level E attacked me and Trina. Luckily for her, she doesn't remember anything that happened on that day. Hopefully, it stays that way. The memory of that bloodthirsty, feral look in the vampire's eyes makes me shiver.

I sat with my momma on the couch, watching Trina and father run around the house. Shouts of joy and lighter fill the mansion and I smile to see the joyous look on Trina's face. She looks so happy, and I'd like to keep it that way. She can't turn out like I did, or find out about her.

Unfortunately for me, I matured pretty quickly a few days ago. After momma brought me and Trina home, she made sure that we were all warmed up and that Trina no longer had hypothermia. I was lucky I didn't catch it, but what I got is much worse. It's an alternate, basically evil personality; just waiting for me to let my guard down enough to break through.

She calls herself Victoria when she takes over. It's only happened once, and I hope to god that it doesn't happen again.

Ever.

"Sakura?" I break from my thoughts and turn to momma, who smiles warmly at me. "Why don't you go out and play with your sister and your father? I'm sure that they want you to play with them."

To her request, I shake my head.

"I'm content sitting here. Besides, they look quite joyous playing out there. To be honest, it's fun watching them play like that." I say and return a smile.

"Whatever you say." She states and continues to watch them with me. "But don't come crying to me when you're bored."

I look at father and watch as he scoops up Trina, blowing on her stomach and causing a fit of laughter to escape her lips. He looks extremely happy as well, but I can see something else too. His eyes show that he's sad. Like he's been missing something for a long time and the look has carved a place for itself in his eyes.

I hardly know anything about my lineage from his side. I've asked more times than I can count, but the answers are short or just aren't there at all. It's like he doesn't even want to dwell on it, because I never hear him talking about it with momma either.

There is the stuff that I do know, though. I, apparently, have my uncle's eyes: one red and the other blue. Beyond that, I don't know anything about my uncle.

He also had a little sister named Juri, who I found passed about a year before Trina and I were born. Apparently, she was a very kind woman and he cared for her a lot. She also seemed to look up to father, which must make him pretty special in her world as well.

That's all I know. Nothing else. He's never mentioned anything about grandparents, or possible cousins I may have. Basically, his past is completely barren to me and Trina. It's as if he had no past, or simply just wants to forget it and leave it all behind.

"Sakura!" I'm brought out of my musings when I hear Trina calling out my name.When I look up, she's hanging upside down in father's arms and smiling brightly at me.

"What it it Trina?" I ask her. She giggles and allows father to set her down on the ground.

"Come play with me and daddy!" She begs.

"I don't know." I tell her. "You and father look like you are having a lot of fun without me. Why do you want me to begin to play with you?"

"Because the fun will be tripled if you join us!" She calls out happily. She grabs my arm, pulling me off the couch and begins to run. "Daddy's it Sakura, so you should start running!" She calls out and begins to laugh with glee.

I turn to look at father, who gives me an encouraging smile and begins to run after me. Laughing at the sudden scare tactic, I begin to take off after Trina. Happiness floods through me as I enjoy some time with them. I'm finally letting loose a little, but not too much. I have to keep my guard up most of the time, or else Victoria's wrath will be released on everyone that I love.

I take a sharp turn to the left and enter the kitchen. Jumping on the counter, I manage to hide myself in one of the cabinets before father could enter the kitchen. I can hear him prowling outside the door and I try to keep my breathing as steady and quiet as possible.

"Gotcha'!" I hear him shout and Trina's sudden laughter fills my ears. I giggle a little bit myself before bursting through the cabinet and running down the hall.

"Daddy, look! I found Sakura! I found Sakura!" Trina calls out and begins to chase after me. I laugh in response and slow down just a little bit, her fingers brush against my back as she tags me.

"Tag, you're it!" She calls and begins to run in the opposite direction. "You can't catch me!" She calls out and begins to laugh as she hears me running after her.

"You guys better be careful!" Mom calls out as she sees Trina accidentally almost knock over a vase. I catch it quickly and put it back before continuing to run after her. "If you break anything, you're allowance will be dropped to pay for it back!"

"Alright momma!" I call out, continuing to chase Trina around thd house. Father appears in my field of vision and I quickly change direction and go towards him.

My sudden change of target surprised him and it takes him a moment before he gains his momemtum to begin running away. I know he is much faster than I am, so instead of thinking of it as a hopeless cause, I think of it as a way to improve myself.

My legs begin to move faster as my determination grows. My feet are moving so fast, I almost have no traction as I try to catch up to him. I stumble a couple of times as I run after him, but I'm somehow able to tag him nonetheless.

"Tag, your it father!"

I begin to run away as he calls out in surprise before giving chase. A happy laugh escapes me as I find myself enjoying the moment.

No matter how much of a mystery your past is father, I always love you.
