Prologue
…13 years ago…
It was dark in the city of Kaketsu except for the light that was emitted from two rapidly moving torches. One of them was held by a tall man fully clad in black from his head to his feet. The other was carried by a woman with a dark green overcoat on. In her other hand she cradled a small package. It was a baby wrapped in a sheet. The baby's bright blue eyes were afraid. Her mother and father were running from something unseen and although she was only a child it still scared her.
She opened her mouth to start crying but a woman's hand, her mother's hand, covered her mouth. Finally the child's eyes closed as her mother's steady pace rocked her to sleep. But the sleep didn't last long as more lights of torches appeared around the corners of buildings and in the allies. Hundreds of men with pitchforks and stakes in their hands chased the family.
The father turned to his wife as they got somewhat ahead of the people. "Take Yoru and run. I'll hold them off as long as possible. Put out your torch so they can't find you as easily." The wife ran with the child in her arms and put out her torch, dropping it on the ground as she ran.
As she ran out of the city, she heard the distant cries of the men saying, "There he is! Kill him!" She began to cry as she heard their voices stop after a few minutes. It was a sign that the order had been obeyed and fulfilled. A couple of her tears fell onto the baby's forehead and her blue eyes looked up at her mom with innocence.
Looking ahead of her, the child's mother could see the dim lights in a traveler's van. "Thank God you're here Kuro," she mumbled to herself as she neared the van.
"Where is the child, Mrs. Hokousha?" a man with black hair asked the mother. "I have her. Please Kuro, protect my baby." The woman handed the child to the man and pulled a silver moon charm out of her pocket. She put the necklace around the baby's neck and kissed her forehead. "I will my lady," the man said holding the child and giving her mother a goodbye hug. "Goodbye Yoru, my baby," the woman said as the man took the child and put her in the car seat already prepared for the child in the back of the van. She turned around to see that the mob was coming. She ran in the opposite direction of the van to avoid them from finding her child.
One man at the front of the mob raised his head to sniff the air. "She's this way," the red eyed man said pointing toward the forest. He led the mob towards the woman and when he found her his face became contorted into an evil grin.
"You thought you could escape, vampire? Too bad that's not going to happen, Hana Hokousha." The woman tripped on a root as she turned to see a man in a cape with black hair and dark red eyes looking at her. "It can't be I—," she started but was cut off as the man drew a sword and slashed her across the chest leaving her to slowly bleed to death.
He left her there and took the mob back to the city with an evil smirk still on his face. As blood poured from the wound on the woman's chest, two people appeared beside her. "He's killed the last of the royal family. Now who will take the throne as King of Vampires?" the short one asked. "Does it really matter? The fact is that if they find us they'll kill us. That werewolf is hungry for the blood of vampires and he won't stop until every last one is dead. Unless the heiress of Mr. and Mrs. Hokousha has survived, we are a doomed race. Come on Niiro, we must take her back to the clan." The tall dark headed man stood up and motioned for the other man, with maroon-colored hair to help him. They took the woman's body in their arms before disappearing in a whirl of dark wind. (It looks like oil or some sort of tar that spins around them)
End: This is the prologue and its really confusing unless you're me, the author. So can anyone guess who the man with black hair and red eyes is. Come on it's so easy. So easy that even if I wasn't the author I'd have figured it out already. Don't worry if you can't figure it out, it will be explained later.
