Prologue

A loud scream was heard followed by a weak cry of a baby. A joyful sound filled the house of the duke. "It's a girl! It's a girl!" The maid shouted happily.

The head of maid helped the new mother to clean herself and let her sleep. The new father stayed with her wife. "It's a girl, honey. A very healthy baby girl!" The father said.

"Is she pretty?" The mother asked weakly.

"Yes, she is very pretty." The father kissed his wife's forehead. "As pretty as her mother, she has your face."

"I can't wait to see her, cuddle her, and I want to see her eyes!"

The baby girl was cleaned and warped in a clean white clothe. She was laid between her parents who looked at her with love. None of them thought that it was the last time they would see their daughter.

Crash! The sound of the broken window was resonating throughout the night.

"My daughter! NO!!" The mother shouted hysterically when she looked that her baby was in another man's hand.

That man laughed, he showed his white long fang. "I take what's mine!" Then he crashed into the window and disappeared within the night.

"NO!" The mother almost jumped out but the father caught her. He was also want to jump out but he knew better that it was a futile effort. "We must go after him! He can't take her from me!" The mother cried.

"Honey... Honey..." The father whispered to comfort his wife. "We can't." He knew that the man wasn't a normal being. Who the hell in the sanity world could jump into the fifth floor and jumped back out then moved so fast like that?

"Let me go! You can't do that! My baby! My daughter..."

The mother fell into her knees with her husband who was also crying. "MAI!!!!!"

A weak cry responded that voice but no one knew where it was.

End of prologue

Seventeen years later, a girl woke up from her slumber. She ruffled her hair with a sigh. Another weird dream, she always got that dream every night. The face was always blurry and the sound was sounded muffled. She only could hear her name was called aloud by a woman. A man came into the room, he caressed the girl's cheek before buried his fang to the girl's neck.

The girl clenched the sheet as her blood was taken. She let a relief sigh when the fang was taken out and the tongue cleaned the blood.

"Good morning, father." The girl greeted drowsily.

"Morning, sweetheart. How are you today?" The man said while caressed the wound that he inflicted to his daughter which was regenerating.

"Fine, do you need me to make you breakfast?"

"Nah, you already give me one. Let's make your breakfast instead." He offered his hand to his daughter to help her out from her bed. "I'll wait for you outside, Mai."

After she heard the sound of the closed door, she took off her nightgown and changed into her daily cloth, a simple shirt and short skirt. It helped her to move freely. She looked at the broken mirror in her room.

Mai touched the healing wound on her neck, before she tied her very long hear into a high ponytail. She went out and went for a hunt with her father.

In the same time, a boy woke up sleepily when his brother tackled him. "Morning, sleepy head!!!" The older one said.

"Argh, shut up!" The boy muttered. The younger boy kicked the older that dodged it easily and pulled his blanket up to his head.

"Woops, someone slept in the wrong side today!" He smirked.

The boy glared, "Can you speak lower, Gene? I hardly get a sleep and you budge me in the blind morning like this!"

The older one patted his brother. "Aw come one, Noll! Who told you to be so absorbed into that case until midnight?" Gene asked.

A couple came into that room and laughed. "Noll, we'll waiting for you for breakfast!" The woman said.

"I got it, mom..." Noll said with a sigh.

Gene followed the couple out. Noll got off from his bed and took his white shirt. He brushed his hair and straightened himself before went out from his room. He greeted the maid and servant back as they greeted a good morning to their young master.

The house was Europe type and many antique things here. Noll himself liked those things. He even researched about their origins and the value of them.

"Morning, Noll." The tall man greeted him politely as he moved the chair so his young master could sit down.

"Morning, Lin." He greeted back as he sat down. Lin stood beside him.

The dishes came out and they ate silently. "Lin, Madoka, do you get new information about the wild animals which attacked our villagers and their cattle?" The Duke Martin asked.

Madoka, who stood beside Gene, shook her head slowly. "Unfortunately I haven't, sir. I have asked some of the villagers and none of them could see what the animal like. The animal took away their cattle." Madoka reported.

"Umn, I heard of that too. They said that it happened in a blink of eyes!" Gene added.

"But Duke Martin, I heard something strange..." Lin said uncertainly.

They shifted their attention to the tall chinese man. "Said it out, Lin." Martin said.

"One of them said that it wasn't an animal... It was a person. He said that it was a vampire."

"Vampire? Are you kidding me? Vampire has been extinct for centuries!" The Duchess Luella said.

"I also think like that but..."

Noll wiped his mouth. "There is still a possibility that they exist too. How about..."

"No, you won't be involved in this case. I won't let you go to find that animal or vampire!" Martin stated. "Or even go to the forest."

"But father!" Noll insisted.

"No buts with me, Oliver Davis. And you too, Eugene Davis! Madoka, Lin, keep an eye for my sons. Who knows what stupid things they would do?"

Lin shot an apology look while Madoka snickered when Gene pouted too. After some studies, they were horsing together with Lin and Madoka in the hill behind the Davis mansion. Gene complained about their parent's over protective-ness.

"We have been seventeen and we learnt a lot about sword technique!" Gene said.

Noll chuckled, even he seemed eager to find that vampire, his brother actually more eager than him.

They enjoyed the scenery and the wind before they heard a loud scream. The four immediately went to the source. They found an old lady sat and stared into an empty space.

Madoka jumped down from her horse and checked on the lady. The other three followed her.

"What's the matter?" Madoka asked.

"My----fa----van----red----blo----" That lady said something that hard to be understood.

Madoka took her hand and told her to take a deep breath. "Now, can you repeat what you have said?"

"My little lamb was suddenly taken from my hand! I saw red eyes! A blood red eyes and something like teeth or fang before it vanished from my sight! I saw it really! It is not a human! It's---It's--- Vampire!" She shouted. The villagers who came because of the scream became to panic.

"SILENCE!" Martin shouted. He arrived as he heard the report that another case happened. The villagers immediately silenced. "I, as the duke here, promise that I will find the culprit soon."

"We have been attacked for years, Duke! How could we calm down!? They even attacked human! Even in these years, they only attacked animals but…" The villager said.

"Are you thinking that Father would let you in danger?" Noll asked in irritation.

They murmured to each other. The Davis had been protected them for years too. They even built a special practice place for their guards. The villagers knelled at them politely until the Davis vanished from their sight.

That evening, Noll and Gene sneaked out to the forest. They were caught by Lin but they managed to drag that poor man to accompany them.

"Noll, Gene, go back now before we gotten deeper." Lin warned. "Or lost." He was too preoccupied by the twin. Honestly he didn't know the way home anymore. He heard a gulp.

"What do you mean by… lost? Don't you track the way home?" Gene asked as if he hoped that Lin was joking which he knew that it was highly unlikely.

Noll also gave a pause. They looked at him and guessed that he also didn't know the way home. Lin let out a sigh. What a mess he got into…

"Er… where we should go to get into the village?" Gene asked.

Lin and Noll thought for a while. "There." They said in unison but different direction.

"Okay, we're really lost." Gene concluded.

Lin sighed again. "Madoka would kill me…" He whispered.

Suddenly they heard a rustle. They immediately raised their guard. "What do you think? A wild animal or vampire?" Gene asked.

"Whatever it is…" Naru said in wary.

The sound of rustle was heard on the tree in their southwest tree. They looked at it before they looked a shadow jumped over the tree skillfully and with a great speed. They immediately followed that shadow.

"It must be the creature that attacked our village." Gene said.

"Maybe…" Noll responded.

That shadow stopped once a while as if it was resting but immediately jumped again. That shadow kept its distance from them. Lin noticed that the shadow guided them to a place. Before he could warn them, they arrived at their village in the night. He looked at his back to find that shadow jumped back to the opposite direction of the village with more incredible speed for their well-trained eyes.

"…" Lin said nothing.

Gene and Noll also found out that the creature guided them back. They didn't speak anything and went home. Unknown to them, someone was watching over them.

How's it?
