Blood Line Chapter 1: Her Life was Just Like Juliet's

A girl with long blonde hair and pair of blue eyes was sitting under a pine tree, reading a book entitled, "Romeo and Juliet" one of the works of William Shakespeare, a famous literature and poetic writer in late 16th century and early 17th century. It was her favorite story. Her life was like Juliet's; she was about to be engaged to Yuhi Aogiri, a prince of the Aogiri Clan and a family friend of the Mikage Clan. The Mikage Clan, her family, was a clan of Vampire Slayers and one of the most famous royal families in Japan. Who is she? She is Aya Mikage and she is a Princess.

"My life is really like Juliet's: being force to marry someone that I don't really love," she said sighing.

"Hey, Sis what are you doing?" Aki Mikage, a guy with short blonde hair and purple eyes, asked his younger twin sister.

"Here, reading a book. Onii-chan," she replied.

"I see. Romeo and Juliet? You're reading that book again?" he asked.

"Yeah. Coz I love this book and the story," Aya explained.

Aki look at his younger twin sister with pity and sighed. He also finds his sister's life akin to the story "Romeo and Juliet"; forcing her to marry to their family's friend's son. Only exception is, Aya does not have a 'Romeo' in her life.

"I don't want to get married," Aya said in sad voice.

"I know how you feel but there's nothing I can do." Aki explained.

"I know," Aya said, smiling at her twin brother. "You're always there for me every time I feel sad."

"No problem, I'm glad to help. After all, what are big brothers for, right?" he said, smiling back at her.

Aya smiled at Aki again and looked at the bridge were it connected to the palace garden.

She heard someone calling them and turned around. It was their mother. Also, it dawned to her that it's already getting dark.

"Aya! Aki! It's time for dinner!" their mother, the Queen, called.

"Coming!" as the twins replied.

As soon as their mother returned to the palace, Aya closed the book and stood up. She shook off the dirt from her dress and walked back to the palace with Aki.

Later, the twins entered the great hall where their parents are sitting, waiting for them.

:Dinning Room:

"Where have you two been?" their father, the King, asked the twins.

"At the palace garden," Aya replied taking her sit, "reading a book," she added.

"And I found her there, reading her favorite book, 'Romeo and Juliet'." Aki said, taking the seat opposite Aya's.

"Not Again?" the King asked, looking at Aya. "You've been reading that for the millions of times, Aya, ever since you're a little girl," he continued.

"But, Otó-san, I like the story. It's a famous 'Play' by one of the most famous poet and literary writer. I can't help myself, I love the story," she explained.

The Queen just smiled at the two. Every time Aya tells her father that she's reading the 'Book' again, the king complains and tells her to stop reading the 'Book'.

Aki looked from his father to his sister and sighed. He knew that this would happen again.

"Ok. Stop complaining about Aya's favorite book. Let's eat. The food is getting cold," the Queen said, effectively stopping the two.

"Ok. Let's eat," the King seconded.

"Hai," replied the twins.

They ate their dinner together. Later when they're done eating and the servants have cleared the table, both the King and Queen went to their royal bedroom while and the twins went to their respected bedrooms.

:Aya's Bedroom:

As soon as Aya came to her bedroom, she changed into her nightdress and went to her balcony to gaze at the night sky. The sky was clear and she could see the moon shining clear and bright with the stars clustered about it.

She sighed as the memory of what happened two months ago flooded her mind.

Flash Back

:Two Years Before:

"Aya I would like to tell you that you're engaged with the Aogiri's son, Yuhi," her father informed her.

"What! I'm engaged to Yuhi!"

"Yes, you're engaged," her mother said.

"But Otó-san! I'm not ready for marriage yet!" Aya exclaimed.

"Yes you are! You're already sixteen! That's the right age to marry!" her father replied angrily. "And besides we've know them for many years and he's your childhood sweetheart and friend," he continued.

"My Childhood Sweet Heart! Are you making me laugh!" Aya thought. Aloud, she said, "I told you I don't want to marry him!"

"Otó-san, Aya is right. She's too young to get married and she's not yet ready," Aki said, defending his sister.

"Yes, she is! Now," her father looked at her and said, "whether you like it or not, you're gonna marry Yuhi!"

Aya burst into tears and went to her room. She cried all day. After that, she recalled her favorite book, 'Romeo and Juliet'. She realized that her life is now the same with Juliet. She's being forced to marry at her tender age. Contrary to Juliet's situation, though, Aya doesn't have any 'Romeo' to love.

End of Flashback

Aya sighed again.

"My life is really like Juliet's except I have NO 'Romeo' who can I loved." Aya said forlornly.

Looking down to the palace garden, she saw someone from the shadows. She wondered about it and thought she ought to investigate but she hesitated, though the urge to find out whom the trespasser is pulled at her.
