Reader's POV

I kept running...

And running...

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I held Yuu's hand. It felt like just moments ago when we were booming with joy, young and naïve... Unafraid of the consequences to come. It was all my fault, I shouldn't have even brought up the idea. Now, Mika's gone, and so is the rest of my family!

When we finally reached the exit of the castle, and into the blanched forest covered in glistening snow. But something hit my leg and made me trip over. But I didn't look back, I didn't want to. I didn't want to experience or even think about the punishment that would overcome if I stopped, so I continued running. But my ankle was injured, and it sucked because I couldn't run as fast.

Then, as I was trying to escape whatever was chasing me, I tripped.

Making me fall face flat onto the snow, until then had I realized the now crimson snow. I looked over at Yuichiro's horrified, tear-stained face,

"Run! Leave! If I can't make it then at least you can!"

"No! I can't lose you! I can't..."

"Run..."

I said as black dots appeared into my vision, soon; I fell into a cold slumber. Hopefully, Yuu escaped.

[...]

I fluttered my eyes open and saw a neat pale ceiling, Am I in heaven?

Then, suddenly, I heard the door open. It was him! The bastard that slaughtered Mika, Akane, Yuki and the others! I suddenly got a burst of energy, I jolted from the bed and ran at him to attack him. As expected, my attempts were futile as he just dodged me and unexpectedly picked me up by my waist.

"Put me down! You monster!"

"Ah, ah, ah. Feisty, are we? You know that is no way to talk to the one who saved your life."

Huh? Saved my life? He must have been the one to strike me on purpose, to injure me, then 'save' me to owe him. Cunning, but a dirty trick. Then he put me down in front of him, with a prominent glare on his face, much different from the sassy, diva-like noble that he usually was.

"The hell do you want?!"

"Drink."

"Huh? Why?"

"Drink."

This time he ordered with more assertion. His cold eyes gleamed red in the moonlight. Because of my unresponsiveness or more so hesitation, he forcefully shoved the goblet on my lips and forced me to gulp down the metallic crimson liquid... Wait, it's blood?! I tried to squirm away, but his iron grip prohibited me from doing so. Once I finished all of it, he just eerily gazed at me and that was the last thing I saw before fading into unconsciousness.

[...]

When I woke up, my throat was burning. I had this urge for... blood. All that my mind could think of was blood, crimson red blood, delicious blood. Wait, what?!

When Ferid entered the room, I immediately pounced on him, and bit him. I didn't know what was going through my mind. Something clouded it. When I finished, he did nothing. All he did was smirk at me...

Then, once I regained my consciousness, I realized he turned me into a vampire... FUCK. FUCKITY FUCKAROO.

He knew what was going on in my head and picked up a hand mirror from the dresser near the doorway and faced it towards me. My eyes were still my E/C eyes, but I had realized that I had fangs. Soon, my face of shock turned into a scowl as I looked down, clenching my fist. Damn it.

"Why, why me? Why couldn't you just leave me to die instead of turning me? Does it satisfy you to watch me suffer?"

He smirked, "Yes, I do quite enjoy watching people suffer. But that aside, I saw your motivation and found out you were the mastermind of this plan. Isn't it remorseful? Knowing that you caused the agony and deaths of your loved ones?"

"Shut up..."

"I can't hear you"

I sighed, I let him have the pleasure of watching me suffer. I know! I'll gain his trust and then I'll backstab him and finally leave this fucking hellhole.

Just you wait, Ferid... Just you wait...

[Time Skip]

Years have passed since then, I'm now 17 and my plan is going swimmingly.

Soon I would head to battle against the humans with Mika. He also became a vampire when I accompanied Ferid to a council meeting with the other Progenitors.

I soon succumbed to drinking human blood (which I only did to further gain Ferid's trust) which turned me into a full vampire and sadly broke off the bond I had with Mika. You would think he would be at least nicer to me because I was a member of the Hyakuya Orphanage, but guess not, because he ruthlessly abandoned me and blamed me for killing the others. I mean, excuse me! You were the one that executed the plan. Whatever.

Once we arrive on the battlefield, I would try to communicate to Yuu in an abandoned area and convince him to have mercy and let me in. That way, I can also bring Mika back and we'll all be a perfect family together.

But what I didn't know that Bathory somehow knew of my plans and was hiding something in the shadows...
