Mizuki stared at the bloody bodies that lied before her. she could barley move and her vision was getting blurry. A figure wearing a suit and fedora walked towards her and lifted her by the neck, he was not a normal demon. 

The others are simply savage. 

His words sent shivers down Mizuki's spine: "your blood is quite rare compared to your family. they are useless compared to your potential...which is why i have decided to spare you. that is if you can even talk right now.." 

Could she? Her mouth was foaming and she was bleeding everywhere but things seemed to numb out and she felt nothing but anger. He took everything! He took her family, her beloved, and was now going to probably take her life. 

I will never forgive you, you are the worst thing in existence she thought. But then suddenly she blacked out, when she awoke there was nothing in sight but snow and the sound of the wind...wait! 

Something clearly is not right here. Where are the wounds and why do I feel so hungry all of a sudden? Mizuki leaped to her feet and starred at her hands. Her fingernails had been replaced by purple like claws and her tongue ran over her new fangs that replaced the k-nine teeth. 

How did this happen?! So i'm a demon now and therefore I have to kill others to survive? the idea made Mizuki throw up next to a nearby tree. She didn't want this, ever since she could remember she hated seeing people in agony and always felt dizzy at the sight of blood. 

"no. NO! I refuse to do such a thing! Its criminal and wrong...I will find another way, I have to!"She cried out into the dead forest. 

She spent a few nights in a nearby cave crying over her new life before realizing she should get to a town. Not just any town...she thought. the town I live in of course! And so she slept through the day and when night fell she started to make her way through the forest. 

The icy wonderland dazzled her and she felt safe here alone. 

She began to see visions of spirits demon and human alike whom she would talk to. After around six months of traveling, sleeping, and putting her little knowledge about hunting deer to the test, Mizuki found a town she had never seen before. 

Well town was a light term because it was buzzing with all kinds of people and there was so much light despite it being night. Mizuki was enchanted ,being a country bumpkin and all, and she explored every bit without the slightest bit of fear from the other peoples faces.

 In fact, Mizuki was starting to wonder whether she was a demon or not herself until she saw herself in a mirror: pale faced, peach like hair, and orange pupils. She screamed out of pure shock and the woman running the boutique she was in got worried. 

"miss are you alright? you seem flustered and pale." The woman said.

 "I-i'm okay! i just stubbed my toe. As for me being pale i get told that a lot. Runs in the family hehe!" a plain white lie, but it had to be done. 

"well besides the skin you sure are a beauty..." 

Mizuki was confused, a beauty? No, this woman must have dropped her glasses somewhere.

 "Actually we are looking for a new recruit down here. Just to help the customers when they need to know more about a product. We are on a shoe string budget though so we would pay you in a free room upstairs with all the other employees if thats ok." The woman explained. 

A free room? Exactly what Mizuki needed...the cave didn't cut it and acting like a dumb girl for a few hours in return for hiding from the sun sounded fair.
