"In order to understand the story, it needs to be told by both sides," - Jeremy Belpois (Code Lyoko)


'Crash' was the sound made by a window on the third floor of a broken down motel. Seconds later, a pregnant lady with long, elegant pink hair was sent flying through. She fell while desperately grabbing for something to hold on to, but there was nothing in range for that possibility.

As soon as her spine made contact with the ground, the baby in her womb was sent out in a pool of blood. Her body laid there for approximately five minutes on the hard concrete without any movements. The baby who has yet to open her eyes began to squirm around in the blood.

When the blood entered the child's mouth, she let our a glass breaking cry, that could be heard from miles away, but unfortunately being in the heart of a broken down city, no one chose to aid her, except for one person.

His short blonde hair shone in the darkness of the night as he slowly picked up the child and began to hush her.

"Don't worry, daddy's got ya," he took a syringe needle from the pocket of his royal blue shirt, "No need to worry Corneillia, I wouldn't let you become a weak little human like your mother," Corneillia began to smile while reaching for her father's face, "Yes, I know, you want to be big and strong like your daddy,...... Well, you can," he then took the syringe filled with vampire blood and inject it into the child.

Five Years Later

Blood stained the dirt as a young girl was hit repeatedly by a small group of boys across the playground.

Blue, wavy hair, silver eyes and has several scars on his face, that was their leader who went by the name of, Kojin Kurahime. He grabbed the girl by her collar and spit in her short, pink hair. He changed the location of his hand to the location where he spat on and began to pull on her hair.

The girl let out a high pitched cry but he didn't care. While pulling on her hair, he decided to throw her on the ground. Her skin was cut severely and her nose was creating a river of blood.

Kojin knelt next to her as he smiled, "We know what you are," he took off his blue jacket and threw it next to her, leaving him in a white T-shirt stained by  her blood.

"Look at how you messed up my shirt!" he yelled while giving off a simple smirk, "You're gonna pay for that."

He punched her on her already bleeding nose, then he proceeded to kick her repeatedly, and his 'crew' followed afterwards.

"Please........stop.......please," she cried, but they did not listen.

A shadow made its way over to them and placed a hand on Kojin's shoulder, "Leave her alone."

"And what if I don't?" he replied as he angrily turned around, seeing the young black haired boy behind him.

"Then I'll have to hurt you," he replied looking at Kojin with his minty blue eyes.

Kojin and his crew began to laugh, "You can't hurt me," he said as he punched after the boy.

He evaded and kneed Kojin in his stomach. Kojin's crew grabbed the boy's arms preventing him from moving, then Kojin got up, and tried a different attack. He aimed to kick the boy's head, but he ducked, causing Kojin to kick his own follower.

The boy then swung his hand and spun on the ground, repeatedly kicking everyone around him.

Kojin held his red cheek as he began to retreat, "This isn't over!" he yelled as he disappeared into the distance.

The boy returned his attention to the girl on the ground and outstretched his right hand, "Hi, I'm Sebastian Eteru, sorry I was late."

He pulled her up and began to wipe the blood from off her face, "Thank you.......... I'm Corneillia...... Corneillia Kli...." she stopped when she noticed him staring off into space.

"Corneillia huh? That's a pretty name if you ask me," Sebastian said.

She smiled at him and he smiled back, "If you ever need help again, I'll be there to for you ok?" he said.

She nodded at him and replied, "Thank you, for saving me, you were awesome back there."

"Yeah, my father's a vampire hunter after all..... So he taught me a thing or two."

When Sebastian completed his sentence, Corneillia's eyes widened, "Sorry...... I got to go," she said as she fled from the area.


Day after day, they talked to each other after school  and got to know each other better. They did that same thing, for ten months, but there was still one thing that Corneillia couldn't get around to tell him.... and that was the fact that she's a vampire.


One night upon arriving home, she kicked her shoes off at the door, only to notice that there was another pair of shoes at the door, which could only mean one thing...... her uncle Shouji, who was her father, Kelvin's twin brother, was home.

Without making her appearance known, she slowly advanced, listening in on the conversation.

"Are you in or not?" Shouji asked.

"I'm not doing it Shouji, you're gonna have to do it on your own," Kelvin replied.

"And why aren't you doing it huh? Don't you see that he's the one that murdered our mother..... He's the one that we can kill to get revenge, he's evil, and so are all other humans!"

"That's ENOUGH!!" Kelvin yelled, "The only evil person I see here is you, now please, I need to go get my daughter so-" before Kelvin could finish his sentence, Shouji snapped his neck, "Now look what you made me do."

There was silence for a while, so Corneillia felt it was safe enough to turn the corner, but her uncle was right there waiting for her, "Hello sweetie."


The next day, late in the night, Corneillia went to Sebastian's house, witnessing what her uncle has done. Blood covered the living room wall as there were too parts of a male's body, paced far away from each other.

She followed a trail of blood to the basement where she heard constant knocking on the door and a dead female body on the ground.

The door swung open, making Corneillia hide in the dark corners of the room. Sebastian emerged from the door, looking at his mother's dead body. He said a few words while he was in the basement, but she couldn't hear him clearly.

Sebastian continued upstairs and to the living room, where his father was laid to rest, and Corneillia followed.

Looking at his father's body he said, "I'm gonna kill them, I'm gonna kill them all!!"

Instantly, Corneillia's six year old heart, was broken.

After witnessing that, Corneillia went to visit her uncle, her pink eyes, now blood red, "Teach me how to be strong please..."

Shouji smirked, "I thought you'd never ask."
