Chapter Four: Dark Days Part I
A storm was brewing. Mirai looked out the window that overlooked Yūma’s garden. Her week at the Mukami mansion had come to an end. She did her last check of the mansion before leaving for good. It took her forty-five minutes to go through the whole mansion. The mansion was secure and she headed back to her home. It took her twenty minutes to return to the Sakamaki Mansion. She entered the mansion before the rain began. It started to pour and she sensed there would be a serious change once the storm ended. Fear filled her because she knew what was coming after the storm. She knew of the remaining founders the Tsukinami brothers. She had bad memories from when she spent time with them in Great Britain.
Flashback: Great Britain (Mirai’s POV)
The Tsukinami brothers were the last of the founders. I wanted to meet the last of my kind. It was a rainy winter day in February. Valentine’s Day was only four days away as well. I wanted to be back home to spend it with my brothers. I arrived at the location where the Tsukinami brothers were living. I knocked on the door and heard voices coming from inside. The door opened and there stood a guy with blonde hair and gold eyes with blue glasses and a black eye-patch that covered the left side and left eye. “You must be Mirai. I am Tsukinami Shin.” Shin stated before letting me into the house. “Ni-san, Mirai is here.” Shin added as another guy with white hair with dark reddish brown tips and gold eyes. He wore a scarf that covered the lower portion of his face.
“You must be Carla.” I stated as he looked at me. My eyes narrowed in on him. My eyes started to glow my thirst was uncontrollable at that moment. I feared this trip was going to turn out bad. I sighed as I focused my attention to both of the remaining founders.
“You seem a bit different from your mother or your grandparents.” Carla started unaware of her past.
“Everyone in my family died or were killed shortly after I was born. Humans raised me and I am the last of the Eagle clan. Every single Eagle has been killed. I am the only one with Eagle blood in me.” I commented.
“Wait, you are the only remaining Eagle.” Shin stated as he looked at her.
“Your mother was killed right. Your other family members were killed by the King.” Carla mentioned. I already knew my father killed my relatives upon their request. My uncles by order of my grandfather killed the other eagles; those in power carried out the wishes of my mother and my grandparents. “Are you really the King’s daughter? You carry the blood from two founding clans but your abilities as an eagle outshine your abilities as a bat.” Carla added as he looked at me closely. I followed them into the dining room. They had a meal prepared for me. I sat down at the table and waited for them. Once they sat down, we all ate in silence and there was not anything to talk about. I examined both of them as I ate my food. I could not determine anything strange about them. I finished my meal. I could hear the rain falling outside and I heard thunder clash. A storm in winter is normal. I loved stormy weather for some odd reason. Carla and Shin finished their meals. “Shin show her to her room.” Carla ordered. Shin got up and led me to my room.
