A young child yawned as he slowly walked down the path. His eyes already red from the tears, were getting more red as he rubbed at them. Unknowing to the boy, two women and a man was watching him. The one woman, Lumine, went in front of the boy, scaring him. She smiled and asked, "life or death?" The boy looked up and replied with, "huh?" The man, Elis, walked over to Lumine, "he is too young Lumine. You know the risk." Lumine turned towards him, "The Bloodshades, your pack, is down a member am I correct? Felica, do you think he is too young?" The other woman, Felica, looked at Lumine, "I want to stay out of this." Lumine scoffed, "Alright then! Turn him!" Felica frowned, "No. You are not my Keeper." Elis sighed, "Just turn him before you anger her further." The boy looked at Felica as she bit her wrist and he saw blood dripping. He had no time to react as Felica put her wrist to his mouth and forced him to drink the blood. She then bit his shoulder. One thought appeared in his mind......"Who am I?"

The boy woke up startled, scared, and confused. Felica opened the door, "Your awake very early. How about you come out and meet the others." He shook his head, "Okay." They walked out into the living room. They see a man yelling at Elis. The boy started to shake while he teared up, "Please stop yelling." Elis look over at him, "Andrew I think you better quiet down and use your inside voice. If you have one." The boy stopped shaking and wiped his teary eyes. Andrew huffed and sat down, "If you stopped fucking my brother, then I wouldn't raise my voice." A man went and stood in front of Andrew, "What I do at night and with whom is none of your business!" Andrew rolled his eyes, "Come on Alex! Keepers are dicks and you know it! They killed our parents!" Alex went and sat down beside Elis, "Elisian didn't though." Elis put his head in his hands, "why the full first name?" Alex looked at Elis, "I say it every night so I don't see what the problem is." A woman walked into the room, "There is a child in the room Alex." Alex looked at the boy, "Oh shit! I didn't realize he was here." His looked softened, "What's your name?" The boy went over and hid his head in Elis' leg. Elis chuckled and picked him up, "Come on don't be shy. We don't bite." Andrew then mumbled, "According to what we hear at night, Alex does." They then hear a quiet, shy voice say, "'m Christopher." The door then slammed open and Chris yelped and hid his head in Elis' neck. A man walked in. Felica sighed, "God damnit Robert! You scared the shit out our new member Chris!" Robert looked at Chris, "Sorry." He then looked at the woman, "Damn Melissa you look like shit!" Melissa looked at him, "One, I prefer Melica. Two, thanks."
