~Prologue~
A young pureblood princess vampire was running through the green meadows populated with sunflowers. She ran her small fingers across the flowers stopping suddenly kneeling down at their stems clasping her hands around them plucking them from the earth. Smiling the girl moved her body into a standing position and used her free hand to grasp the end of her dressing pulling it up to be a basket that cradles the freshly uprooted flowers. With a delighted smile at her accomplishment on the collection of the newly picked flowers she began to walk back to the garden.
On her way back to the garden the girl stopped and kneeled down observing a small family of rabbits that hopped in unison past her. She carefully reached out her hand and the smallest rabbit approached and sniffed her hand with it's small pink petit nose then allowing her to brush her hand across its velvet like fur. While taken with the rabbit the girl heard a soft calm voice echo into her ears. She perked up and looked in the direction.
"Nadeshiko it's time to come home." The voice called soothingly out to her. A great smile appeared on her face as she begun to make great haste through the meadow and fell into a young women's arms smiling. Looking up at her she exclaimed happily "I'm home mummy!"
"Oh my, Nadeshiko your dress is all dirty what where you picking today sweetie?" Nadeshiko's mum cooed at her daughter who let her dress fall back down revealing the flowers.
"I picked these for everyone mummy aren't they pretty?" Nadeshiko's voice jumped with accomplishment as she picked one up to give to her mother. "Here mummy!" her mum took it from her hands and smiled at her daughter before asking who the last one of the three flowers were for.
"Someone special?" she casually asked sweetly as the little girl grinned
"It's for TwiTwi mummy! She's coming over soon with Bloody Rose!"
"Nadeshiko! You have a visitor!" Nadeshiko's father appeared near the door and smiled as another young girl appeared behind him with a little wolf but there was another person with her a young boy with blonde hair and calming beautiful green eyes.
"TwiTwi who's this?" Nadeshiko questioned her friend with a rather taken back look but was only really shy around others.
"Ichijo Takuma, he's my friend I just met recently," Twilight replied smiling at her friend. Nadeshiko was very shy that she didn't look at the young boy after that moment.
The three made their way up to Nadeshiko's room but Nadeshiko took Twilight's arm stopping her. The boy looked behind him to see what was going on with the two young girls. Twilight had noticed that Nadeshiko had something troubling her and told Ichijo to go on ahead. The boy nodded his head and continued into the room with Bloody Rose.
"What's troubling you Nadeshiko?" Twilight asked her friend who seemed to tremble slightly.
"TwiTwi…did you let that boy bite you?" Nadeshiko asked nervously trembling more now. Twilight looked a little shocked and hugged her friend.
"I did Nadeshiko but he's special," she cooed softly stroking Nadeshiko's hair. Nadeshiko didn't say anything but Twilight felt her chest get wet and saw Nadeshiko's body jump in small breaths. Twilight knew she's upset her first and only best friend so she kept stroking her hair.
Soon after Nadeshiko backed away from the embrace and wiped her eyes. "Will you still come tomorrow TwiTwi?" she questioned from small hiccups of tears. Twilight smiled sweetly at her friend and replied "I would never miss your 7th birthday Nadeshiko, not for anything I promise!" Nadeshiko's eyes lightened up and she started to giggle saying "Thanks TwiTwi and I'll be sure to go to your wedding with Ichijo too!" Twilight blushed and jokingly told her friend to shut up.
Night was approaching and so Twilight and Ichijo left for the night bidding Nadeshiko a good night. Night was soon dawning on Nadeshiko's house. The girl was asleep in her bed until she heard the sound of shattering glassed and rapid footsteps. Nadeshiko glanced at her clock with droopy eyes which glared back at her with the time 3:15am. The sounds continued and startled but curious Nadeshiko got out of bed and opened the door slowly then crept down the stairs until she reached her parents.
"Mummy! Daddy!" she shrieked seeing the mess in the house and her father with severe injuries. Her mother grabbed her up in her arms and stood behind her husband. "Hurry and take our daughter away Nayuki!" Nadeshiko's father screamed at her mother. Before anything else could be said blood splattered all over Nadeshiko's face and body as she saw a gaping wound and an anti-vampire weapon pierced through his heart. Nadeshiko screamed her father's name as his body turned to crystal like shards but mouthed to his daughter he loved her before he demised. Nadeshiko's mother put her down and stood in front of her with her arms our wide. Tears formed at Nadeshiko's eyes as her mother spoke her last words to her before ending the same fate as her husband.
Terrified, soaked in blood and uncontrollable tears Nadeshiko saw the pureblood vampire that slaughtered her family right before her. He stood in front of her with medium curled at the bottom reddish brown hair and one blue eye and one red. Wearing a big grin showing his fangs he taunted Nadeshiko "now you're mine, a pureblood princess, you'll be perfect." His voice echoed through her head as he approached her. Before he could reach her, Nadeshiko saw beautiful long silver hair sway in front of her and heard a small bell chime. She heard a sorrowful voice whisper into her ears "I'm sorry Nadeshiko, forgive me for my mistakes. I'll take you away from this, I promise." Nadeshiko felt soothed and her eyes closed as a tear fell down and she whispered under her breath "Aunty Shizuka…"
