A dream. One that made Touka cry in her sleep.

She was with her family; her father, mother, and brother. They were vampires and lived deep in the woods, where no vampire hunter could find them. Their only sustenance was blood, humans' blood, and although they could eat human food as well, it couldn't sustain their hunger for blood long.

Their father was a very nice man. He was once saved by a human and has decided to not prey on humans as cruelly as the other vampires. He decided that their family would only feed on humans who come to these woods to suicide and never on living humans.

They kept away from the other vampires, in fear that they would offend them, and lived quietly in their small cottage in the forest. Until one day, a vampire hunter named Arima massacred everyone while Touka was out. She returned home to find her family's bodies all over the floor and wept for the longest time ever.

Despite the anger and sadness she felt, she never sought revenge. She still listened to her father's words of not killing humans and lived her life peacefully, away from the vampire hunters. This was the way of life, to lose while they lived. 

To say that she didn't have a single feeling of anger was a lie because although she wouldn't hurt humans, she swore that if she ever saw Arima, she would kill him with her own hands.

Her eyes shot open, and she raised her hand to touch the tears that fell out of her eyes while she was asleep. As she sat up in bed, she hugged her knees and buried her head in them. I miss you, papa, mama, Ayato...

A loud growl filled the air and she raised her head. It was her stomach. She hasn't eaten in months, she realized, and left her tiny home in search of any dead humans to feed on.

Searching the forest for bodies whilst she flew in her bat form, she spotted one and hesitated because it was other vampires' territory and they were very protective of it. If she did enter, she would be declaring war on them.

Her stomach growled again, and she decided to hell with it because vampires go crazy if they were without blood for too long and she hasn't eaten in months.

She landed, turned back into her human form and quickly started feeding on it. The blood tasted dull, which shows that this body has been here for at least a few days already. She sucked the dead man's blood dry and wiped the blood away from her mouth.

Suddenly, she was ambushed by a bunch of vampires. She couldn't fly to escape as they had pinned down her wings and attacked her. She was a female, and all of them were males and she couldn't fight them.

"You'll die for entering our territory and feeding on our humans!!!" They hissed.

Her tears fell as she wondered if this was the place she was going to die. If it was, maybe it wasn't such a bad thing because it meant that she could see her family again.

Her eyes slowly closed.

Walking through the woods, Haise started his daily routine of making sure there weren't any humans being attacked by vampires and that the area was safe. His sword hung close to his hip and he kept it close to prepare for anything.

Red eyes, pointed ears, and fangs. Red eyes, pointed ears, and fangs. Red eyes, pointed ears, and fangs.

He repeated the words over and over like a chant as he looked from side to side for any vampires. Some things about them he learned were that they pretty much looked just like a normal human, can eat human food but the only thing that differentiated them from humans, is how their appearance changes when they turn into their vampire form. 

Their eyes would turn blood red, ears turn pointed and fangs would appear in their mouth. 

It can happen to them when they choose to, or when they are exposed to blood. 

They can also turn into bats, which is a pain to catch because then they can fly to escape.

His nose picked up the scent of blood and he stopped his thoughts before he dashed in the direction of the smell. He came to an abrupt stop when he saw violet haired female lying in a pool of blood, face down. Dropping to his knees, he turned her over and slapped her cheek gently.

"Miss, are you alright?!"

She let out a groan, to his relief and he looked around. He had 2 options now; the first to bring her to his home and try to heal her, and the second was to bring her to a hospital which was very far away and risk her dying of blood loss along the way.

He decided to prevent the latter and headed for his home with her in his arms.
