Prologue

Elvira

I ran as fast as I could to the back door like my mother told me. The vampire had come in and attacked my family. The she-vampire had gone to my older brothers room, she was discovered by my parents when he screamed. My mom had carried me down the stairs, that's when she told me to run. The vampire appeared at the bottom of the stairs, attacking my mother from behind. The blood sucking monster sank her fangs into my mother's neck, some of the blood landing on my cheek, I could see tears falling down her cheeks as she looked at me.

"Elvira...no matter what happens, know that we always loved you. There's a box by the back door we were going to give you tomorrow for your birthday, take it and run far away from here!" She said. Then she pulled out her dagger and began to fight. I did as she said and ran to the back. I saw the wrapped box she was talking about. I grabbed it and was about to take off out the back door when the vampire grabbed my arm and turned me towards her.

"Time for my next meal!" She said about to bite into my neck, but suddenly a I heard a gun shot, I felt some of the vampire's blood land on me, and the creature before me turned to dust. I looked over to where I heard the sound with wide eyes. A man with an eye patch stood there with a shotgun and two silver headed twins behind him.

"Disgusting Level E...killing another family like that..." the man muttered. I began backing up until I was in the corner of the kitchen. I clutched the last thing my family had given me close to my chest. The man saw my fear. And gave a small smile. He walked over and crouched in front of me. "It's okay little girl, you're safe now." he said

"Where are my mom and dad and my brother?" I asked "Are they gone?" I saw the two twins share a sympathetic look.

The man gave a sigh "Yes, they are..." he said. I felt tears begin to fall down my face, then I began to sob. The man pulled me into a hug. "It's okay, we'll take care of you..is that a present your parents gave you?" he asked gesturing towards the box. I gave a slight nod wiping my eyes with my sleeve.

"The last thing my mom told me was to take this and run, then she attacked the Level E vampire..." I said sniffling. I saw everyone stiffen.

"How did you know what that thing was?" asked one of the twins.

I gave a small smile at the happy memories with my family. "My parents began teaching me about a month ago about the different classes of vampires...they said that at the rate I was going I would become a great vampire hunter like my brother and them, well my brother was still training like me." I said with a slight smile

"We'll talk more about this later, I'll call the Association to report this. Can you guys take her back to your place?" He said addressing the boys.

"Shouldn't we get some of her things?" a twin asked. The only difference was the one looked more frail than the other.

"Sure." he turned to me. "Will you take Zero and Ichiru to your room to pack some of your things?" I gave a slight nod and began to walk to the staircase. I saw my mothers lifeless body laying on the floor, I felt new tears begin to form but I held them back. I slowly walked up the staircase. As I passed my brother's room, I saw my dad and my brother the same way as my mom. Lifeless and drained of their blood. I looked away and went into my room. I grabbed my backpack and put a few changes of cloths, some jewelry, shoes, my blanket and my stuffed wolf my brother gave me on my last birthday.

I turned to the twins "Would it be alright if I came back another time to finish taking the things I want to keep?" I asked quietly

"It should be fine." the stronger one said. I gave a nod and slid my backpack over my head and slid it in place. I liked to put my messenger bag facing backwards instead of having it at my side. I took a deep breath then headed out the door and down the stairs. I was still clutching the unwrapped present to my chest. The twins led me out the front door and then we began to head to their house, it took about ten minutes. It was slightly chilly for an autumn night, and the sky looked like it was about to cry for the loss of my family. The two boys led me into the house and into a beautiful kitchen where a women with light brown hair stood my the stove cooking. She turned around when she heard our footsteps. The women had a warm smile that vanished when she saw me covered in blood. The twins looked at the ground.

"We got there to late..." Ichiru said. We had clarified the names on the way here. I saw small tears beginning to for in the woman's eyes. She came over and pulled me into a hug.

"Ichiru, can you and Zero watch over dinner while I get our guest cleaned up?" she asked, the boys nodded. She took my head and led me to a bathroom. When she saw the present she gave a small smile. "Was it your birthday today?"

"No, it's tomorrow."

"Well, do you mind if I take this back to my room? We can open it after you get washed up." I gave a nod. She left and then came back rather quickly. "Do you need help with anything?" she asked, I shook my head. "Well, I'll be waiting just outside if you need anything. I'll get a change of cloths set outside the door for you to."

"Thank you..." I said. She gave another smile and went outside. I turned on the water and thoroughly rinsed myself of blood and anything else on my body. I stepped out of the shower and dried myself off with the towel she had left for me. I cracked the door and pulled took the cloths she handed to me. My nails were painted black as well as my toe nails. I dressed in black sparkly skinny jeans and a long sleeve black and silver striped shirt. I stepped out of the bathroom. The woman took my hand and led me to a bed room. We both climbed onto the bed on either side of the present. She gave a not and I tore the silver and black paper of the box. I opened the box and found four objects inside; a pair of black combat boots, a silver locket, a picture frame that was face down at the moment, and a pearly black gun with a silver columbine etched into the side. I recognized it as the anti-vampire gun my mother used to use. I took out each item slowly. When I looked at the picture frame, it was a picture of my family and I on the day I started training. The locket was empty, but had a note inside.

Dear Elvira,

We want to give this locket to you so when you find a really good friend you can put him or her in here. We all love you very much, and since today is your eighth birthday, it is customary in our family to give a weapon to the child to use when he or she begins to train. The gun is called the 'Frozen Columbine'. The boots are also for when you start to train.

Love,

Mom, Dad, and David

I folded the note back up and put it back in the locket. I slipped the locket over my head and slipped the boots over my bare feet. The gun was a little to big for me to hold so she carried it for me as I carried the picture to my messenger bag.

"Do you want to show Ichiru ans Zero?" she asked. I gave an excited nod. We went into the dinning room were the twins were setting up the table for six. When they saw me and their mom their eyes widened. I was slightly shorter than the two twin so their mom pulled me into her lap as she put the gun on the table and sat down. Zero and Ichiru looked excited when they saw the gun.

"Is this your's?" Zero asked

"Yeah, it was in the box my family was planning on giving me tomorrow." I said. We continued to talk after their mother stood up and began serving the food. After a minute the man who was there at the house along with another man came into the room. The room fell silent.

"The Association gave you permission to keep the child here for now if you want, she can train with Zero and Ichiru as well." The man from before said. I guessed the other man was Zero and Ichiru's father since he had the same silver hair and silvery lavender eyes. He was holding a case. He saw me staring at it and gave a smile.

"It's some more of your things, you can sleep with Zero and Ichiru, while your extra things can go with theirs in a different room. That is if you don't mind." he said. I started laughing when Ichiru and Zero started coughing on their soup.

"But she's a girl!" Ichiru said blushing

"So?" I asked even though I knew what he was thinking

"Wouldn't it be a bit awkward?" Zero said

"Maybe at first, but since she'll be staying here for a long time she'll probably become a sister to you guys. So it won't be awkward." Their mother said. I smiled at the thought of having two twin brothers. The conversation continued and soon days and weeks began to fly. I started training and Ichiru, Zero, and I began training together. I turned out that my family was as famous as the Kiryu's were, and that I was soon to become know as the 'Mistress of the Dark'. And like their mother predicted, I became a daughter/sister to the family. But after about a year and a half, I was taken to the Association so that they could up my training. But that was when everything changed for me and the Kiryu's, specifically, Zero.

Well? What do you think? Please like and comment as well as follow so I can see you next time. Light flames are welcomed because I know I'm not perfect but I want to work at being as close to perfect as possible (because I believe real perfection doesn't exist).

See you next time!

P.S. A columbine is flower that grows in the Rocky Mountains and is also the Colorado state flower, for those of you who didn't know.
