You woke up in a jolt. It was the same dream again. The same dream you've been having for years.

And no, it wasn't the murder of your family.

It was a strange dream you have no memories of.

In this dream, you're conscious, yet you can't speak, or even say anything about what was happening to you. Around you were doctors, and IV's were stuck in every possible vein, sucking out your blood, replacing it with...something else? Wait no, it wasn't sucking your blood...it was putting something in it.

You couldn't move or squirm, you were stuck in place. You couldn't feel anything except the weird flowing feeling of the strange substance now in your bloodstream.

Then, you see flashes.

Flashes of a a woman and a man, and another girl with pink hair, a boy with purplish hair, and you, sitting among them.

You saw dinners and parties, and a young you in a fancy ball gown. You then heard a doctor say something.

"It's time to put her to 'sleep'."

The memories start getting hazy, the images fuzzy.

You felt your eyelids drooping, yet something was telling you, yelling at you, to stay awake, but you couldn't, so you let yourself fall, letting the sound of hospital beeping lull you to sleep.

And that's when you wake up. That's when you always wake up. Every time you have that dream, it always ends at that.

Never cut short, never past that point.

You sigh, getting up and putting on your dress of the day. You were a vampire now, a vampire queen to be exact. You couldn't let a dream get in the way of your day.

You brush your teeth, quickly drink some breakfast, then make your way to the throne room.

"Morning my queen~." You heard a familiar voice sing.

"Morning Ferid." You smile, giving him a good morning kiss.

"How was my lovely queen's rest?" He asks lovingly.

"Lovely, as always." You lie.

"Mmhmm." He says, noticing the lie, "Well, if you say so." He sighs.

"You probably miss me at your side though." He smirks, hugging you from behind.

"Oh really? Like I'd miss your annoying whines." You joke.

"I don't whine." He states.

"But your voice itself sounds like it." You tease.

"How entertaining my queen, almost as entertaining as yo-"

You playfully clamp his mouth shut, preventing his sentences from finishing.

"Now I see why Krul hates you so much." You sigh.

"What can I say," he smirks, removing your hand from his mouth, "I'm quite a hateful person. She's probably just jealous  of my dashing good looks."

"Mmhmm. Keep telling yourself that." You laugh, heading towards your throne to sit down, him following you to your side.

Leaning on the chair's armrest, Ferid nuzzled his nose on your neck.

"How I miss your blood." He whines.

"Good for you." You giggle, scratching his chin playfully.

Then, the doors to the throne room opened.

"Your Highness, someone is here to see you."

And then, Shinoa burst through the door, in tattered clothes.

"Shinoa!" You scream, running to catch her as her limp body fell to the ground. Ferid's eyes widened in shock.

"What happened to you? Did one of the guards do this to you?" You ask angrily.

"No it...it wasn't the guards...or even a vampire. (Y/N)...Guren's gone mad. He isn't himself he...he started killing everyone. It's like he has two personalities..." She breaths. "And my father he...he's taking some sort of advantage from this...he has this twisted plan I.."

"Are the others okay?" You ask frantically.

Shinoa nods.

"Injured, but not dead." She whispers.

'Guren...how could he?' You thought, 'He treated me and Yuu like family when we had nothing. He was like a father to us...yet...two personalities?! Impossible!'

You glanced at Ferid, then at Shinoa.

"I'm coming." You state.

"Ferid, you're staying here. Take over while I'm gone." You say, motioning a guard to carry Shinoa to the infirmary.

"(Y/N) it's dangerous and-" Ferid starts.

You raise a finger to silence him.

"What kind of a teammate would I be?" You say with a sad smile.

You go into your room and put on your old uniform, grabbing Honoka.

"Long time no use eh?" You smile at the sword.

"You could say that again." You heard Honoka reply in the first time in forever.

"A warning, (Y/N), something in you may release if you use my power too much in battle."

"What's that supposed to mean?" You ask, to which Honoka, didn't reply.

You shake your head and head out into your private jet.

"I'm coming guys..."
