Vanitas x OC : The Moon's curse

Troubles are coming...

The room was surprised by his speech. "You object ? Is this uncalled for ? What the hell do I care !?

Whether you want me to or not... ...I will save you, without fail. That...

That... ...will be my revenge on Vanitas !!!" He exclaimed before having a dark look on his face.

"His revenge...? What did the vampire of the Blue moon did to him...?" I whispered to myself as I stared at him.

But then Vanitas suddenly lifted up his head with a... weird expression on his face that I couldn't quite describe. "And... ...So !! That's why !!"

Everyone here was looking at him with round eyes, from the vampires in the ballroom to the ones that were on a balcony like Noé, Luca and me.

"If there's anyone among you who thinks "I am indeed a curse-bearer !", step forward ! Dont' be shy ! I, Vanitas, the vampire specialist, will save you without fail !!" He boasted with a big smile, pointing himself.

"E...

Enough nonsense !!"

"Kin of the Blue moon will save us !? The vampire of the Blue moon is what creates curse-bearers to begin with !"

"KILL HIM !!"

"Kill that human !!"

"It's obscene !"

A lot of vampires began to cry out their thoughts after Vanitas' speech, demanding to kill him and all the likes.

"What does he think he's doing !?" Luca asked with a scared look or shocked maybe.

"I don't know." Noé simply replied having a flabbergasted expression.

"Starting an uproar here, of all places...!" Luca added.

"I really don't know."

"My, my. I was wondering what all the fuss was about." I heard a feminine voice.

I turned my head to the source of it to looked down at a long white haired woman wearing a fox mask and a kimono, a fan in her right hand. "Whatever is a human doing here ?

Not only that, but a Man. What a stench. The stink of humans is so strong I think my nose may drop off."

"Strongly smells like trouble in my opinion..." I commented, staring at her.

"Geh !" Dominique exclaimed in shock. "Wait... Is that... My sister Veronica !? But she said she wasn't coming today !" She wondered, not understanding.

"Marquis Machina, hurry up and remove that filth, would you ?" Dominique's sister demanded to the host.

"Huh ? Me ??" The latter seemed surprised and confused.

"Of course. You are the host of these festivities." She answered as if it was obvious.

"Uh... Hrm... Frankly though, that human interests me." The Marquis explained.

The white haired girl was quiet a few seconds before speaking.

"...I see. In that case, it can't be helped." She commented, closing her fan. "I'll dispose of him myself."She said firmly as a cold gust of wind came.

"Oh no !" Dominique and Luca shouted.

I looked where she was aiming the wind and screamed too.

"Vanitas !" I yelled as the wind broke the chain that was hanging up the chandelier. I was going to go to him but Noé and Luca stopped me by grabbing my hand.

"Huh !?" His face comically paled while the vampires below were running so they weren't hit.

"...!? He's gone. The human's gone!!" Someone screamed to inform everyone.

Vanitas was rescued by Jeanne wearing a mask and went away.

I sighed in relief and Luca released my hand.

"Come, come everyone ! This is terrible !" The kimono wearing girl called to the crowd. "That human is still lurking somewhere ! It's a human-hunt ! Met us imitate our predecessors ! Find the filthy human who would do us harm and eliminate him !!" She exclaimed, telling everyone to chase after Vanitas.

'This is gonna be such a pain...' I realized, sighing.

"Jeanne...?" Noé wondered. "The one who just carried Vanitas off... That was Jeanne, wasn't it !?" He asked Luca.

"Huh ? Yes." The boy answered, surprised.

"Why would she save Vanitas ?"

"It's true that she didn't really looked pleased with him the last time we saw her." I commented, tilting my head.

"Because I asked her... I said I wanted to go see the three of you again." Luca explained to our shock. "...Can you possibly forgive my rudenessbthe other day, Monsieur Noé, Miss Cyndelle...!?" He wondered, looking at us with a troubled face. "That day... with my own eyes, I saw a curse-bearer's true name restored. I should have listened more carefully... to what you said. I grew angry, and I failed to make a calm decision, I couldn't be more ashamed of my own immaturity !" He rambled on.

Noé and me walked up to him and tugged him along as we walked.

"Just call me Noé, please...
...Luca" The tanned man told the young one.

"And you can call me Cyndelle." I added with a smile.

"Let's go find Vanitas. If he dies here, you and I will both be in trouble."

"Okay !" The little boy exclaimed, looking at him in awe.

Just as we were walking, we suddenly heard a song but it was ear-piercing that I had to cover my ears, a mix of mechanical noises and human voices.

Then we heard screaming, it was some vampires and they were attacking the others.

We stopped in the corridor once we saw them, I held Luca by the shoulder and took a step in front of him.

"What's happening !? Are they... Have they all gone mad !?" He wondered in a panicked voice.

"Master Lucius !!" Someone called out to him so we turned around to see his two servants from before.

"Thanks goodness. You're not...
...hurt...?" He finished his sentence as he was slashed in the neck then fell to the ground.

Someone wearing a cape and a mask with multiole eyes was standing in front of us.

"Huh...?" Luca stared at him in fear.

Hey everyone ! Merry christmas to you all.
