Chapter Five: Dark Days Part II
The rain continued to pour, as everyone had stayed home from school aware of what danger could occur. A message arrived from their father. Everyone was in the family room when someone knocked on the door. Reiji went and found the Mukami brothers out there. “We were told to come here.” Ruki commented as Reiji let them inside and led them to the family room.
“Now that everyone is here, first order of business father wants to have dinner with everyone and discuss the upcoming battle. Richter will be attending as well. We will have special guests Tsukinami Carla and Shin.” Reiji began. Everyone was shocked that their father would allow them into the mansion.
“Why is That Man allowing those wolves into this house?” Ayato asked. No one had noticed that Mirai had joined them in the room. She put her foot down nearly causing the room to shake because she was not wearing her bracelet. Everyone braced themselves for a bigger impact but nothing else came. Mirai entered the room and sat down.
“Carla and Shin are not the enemy right now. The vampire killing werewolves are the current enemy. These werewolves have attacked me once before in Great Britain when I visited Carla and Shin the first time. They backed down because they were dealing with founders. The history of these werewolves stem from my childhood friends Mayuka and Makoto’s families had a branch family that these werewolves were born from.” Mirai explained to everyone.
“Your mother mentioned something about it in her journal. Two families of werewolves were known for killing off weaker vampire clans in the demon world but never got close to the nobility. They stayed in the shadows majority only attacking on a night when there was a lunar eclipse. Their numbers decreased because of founders taking them on and defeating them.” Reiji added as Mirai nodded.
“I never asked Makoto and Mayuka about their branch families. They were aware that I knew they were descendants of werewolves. I did not sense that they were werewolves though. Makoto’s mother told about how their branch formed. Her mother showed no signs of becoming a werewolf. The family branched off because there were members who were born with blood of werewolves but did not show any signs of transformation before age five are considered human. One of Makoto’s descendants is living now and I have met her already. She resembles Makoto completely. The werewolves who are about to start a fight are both Makoto and Mayuka’s ancestors that have living for centuries in the demon world and recently returned to try to have me show my true nature.” Mirai continued.
“What do you mean?” Ruki asked unaware she was the one that caused the miniature earthquake they just felt.
“My power is normally restricted with that bracelet I always wear because it contains the ashes of both Mayuka and Makoto. My mother’s true history was kept from her. The vampires that raised her in the demon world shortly after she was born adopted her. Her power exceeded that of the family that took her in. This was the first family that took her in after her mother died giving birth to her. The first family that took her in hired the werewolves to kill her off. My mother injured them badly then they went and killed the vampires that hired them. The second family who took her in happened to be founders from the Eagle clan. They raised her as their own though she over powered their own children. The mother moved to where the bat clan was and got the werewolves to agree not to bring harm to my mother or her offspring.” Mirai said.
