------------------------------------------------------
Jessica POV

I awoke in a dark room, my bed felt softer than it should and I couldn't remember how I got home.

All of a sudden, a scream cuts through the air. I bolt out of the bed and into the hallway, realising I was infact at the Sakamaki's mansion.

"I must have fell asleep..."I mumble as I hear pleading and whimpering from down the hall.

I race in the direction of the pleas and throw open the door to see all the Sakamaki and Mukami's standing around a bed.

"Please...don't hurt them...."Irene whimpers tossing about in Subaru's arms as he tries to rouse her and fails.

"Move." I say, walking over and pulling my sister out of his arms, holding her tightly as she jerks around.

"Irene~ It's okay~ I'm okay~ We are safe~" I say softly, stroking her hair.

She doesn't respond, instead she seems to panic more, shouting out,"Don't hurt him!"

I look up and lock eyes with Laito,"Help me." I say to him and he rushes over, sitting on the bed beside me.

I let go of her and place her on his lap, he wraps his arms around her and whispers softly in her ear.

She relaxes instantly, slumping into his arms. Her eyes flutter and open, looking at Laito as her cheeks begin to turn a dark crimson colour.

Irene POV

My nightmares had returned, I knew they would, I guess I was just hoping for one night of sleep.

I open my eyes to meet beautiful green ones, my cheeks starting to heat up as I gaze into Laito's concerned face.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"Yes.....I'm so sorry for waking you!"I say and turn away, looking around the room to see all the boys standing there, watching Laito and I, even Jess was sitting on the bed beside us.

"I'm so sorry for waking you." I say sadly and bury my face in the crook of Laito's neck.

"It's alright Irene. Are you okay? You were having a nightmare, screaming in your sleep." Ruki says as Laito strokes my hair.

"I'm fine. I'm awake now so I guess I should tell you." I say and take a deep breath.

"Jess and I are half vampire, half angel. I am the eldest of seven, she is the second eldest. Our younger siblings are our half siblings. Four brother and one sister, they are full angels and are the five individuals that are trying to kill us." I say as I look around the room at each of them in turn.

"Irene and I, our mother was raped by a vampire. Our father raised us for a few years then tried to sell us while our mother abandoned us straight after birth. When we escaped our father, we were kidnapped and locked up by our siblings who blamed us for our mothers death, saying how we were polluted and corrupt." Jess says, looking sadly at her hands.

"We hate seeing each other get hurt, even though we can't feel pain, due to being tortured by ours siblings for about 200 years. It's what triggers us to attack people. What else is there....?" I say and look at Jess pensively.
