Chapter 1; Prologue
"Mikan-chan! Hurry up!" I heard my grandpa call me as I ran down the stairs. Today is my first day of school. My name is Mikan Sakura, five years old. Today is August 25, my first day of school. I'm so happy right now! Not only because I'm going to make new friends at my new school, but because I'm gonna be with my darling hotaru-chan!
"Coming! Is Hotaru there yet?" I asked, grabbing my French toast from the plate.
"Yes, better hurry up mikan-chan you wouldn't want to be late at your new school now do we?" grandpa said as he smiled at me.
"Yes!" I answered back, smiling of course.

I opened the door and saw white things all over the place. I looked to my left and saw hotaru sitting on the bench by our porch.
"Ne hotaru-chan, what is that?" I asked her, I saw her holding some white kind of stuff.
-POOF-
She threw it at me.
"It's snow. Now come on, we're going to be late for school." Walking away as she said that.

"Alice Academy is so cool! People have powers! Well, I have powers too but I can't really show it! Hey, hotaru-chan, you have porwers too!" I said as we got out of our school.
-POOF-
She threw the white thing on my face again, I mean snow. She should really stop.
"I suppose. Although, I don't brag like those people, and baka it's called alice"
"Oh I see! Well anyways, want to go back to my house to eat dinner? Your parents aren't even home yet." I said, as we passed by her house. I kind of pitied her, her parents aren't home all the time and she's by herself. Well, there are maids but they don't really count as family for her. My parents are also at work. Granpa said they won't be back for a very long time.
"Sure. Your grandfather is very good at making foods with crabs."

Me and hotaru-chan started walking back home. It was kind of late. I mean it's 5 in the afternoon and the skies are kind of dark. I got scared a little bit and started to hold on to hotaru's hand.
-Wooosh-
"What was that?!" I yelled, closing my eyes and holding onto hotaru more.
"It's just the wind dummy. Hey, why don't you head on a little bit."
"Huh? Why?"
"Oh nothing. I'm just going to go get my stuff at my house, since I'm gonna go to your house."
"Oh, okay. Meet you at my house in 15minutes?"
"Yeah, Bye." She said walking away. I frowned, she forgot to hug me, she stopped though and my face was smiling again.
"Forgot something" I said running back to her and expecting a hug.
"Yeah." She grabbed the white stuff again. Oh no.
-POOF-
She threw it. Again. For the third time.
"Bye." She said, walking away again.
"HOTARU!" I said as I screamed at her. I smiled after a few minutes, she wouldn't change.

"Grandpa! Did hotaru call yet? It's been an hour!" I whined.
Hotaru said she'd be in 15 minutes. It's been 30 minutes for god's sake! I better go to her house. But it's too dark. Oh! Maybe the maids wouldn't let her go out 'cause it's night time already! I'm going to check!
"Granpa, can you go with me? I wanna check on hotaru!"
"Okay mikan-chan" he said smiling. He knew how I felt about hotaru, I was really worried.

I walked with my grandpa to hotaru's house. It was really dark outside. It's only 5:45pm. I looked at the sky and saw black things flying all over. Strange. We didn't have bats here.
We reached hotaru's house and my jaw dropped. Her house didn't look the same. Usually, I'd see a big gate. I'd see that pretty fountain at the middle. The doors would be closed. The gates would be closed to, but it wasn't. Instead, the gate was torn apart. I looked at grandpa, he too was surprised. I heard him murmur something, but I couldn't quite get it.
"We should go back now mikan-chan, it's kind of dangerous right now"
"Huh? NO WAY! I wanna see hotaru!" I yelled as I ran to her house. I looked back and saw grandpa walking towards me.
The doors were opened. I saw red. A lot of red. I saw the maids. All of them were lying down the floor, red on their bodies. Bite marks on their necks. Oh no. Could it be true? I remember watching a movie about vampires. The would bite people's neck and suck blood. Blood. Blood is red. Oh no. Please don't let it be. I closed my eyes. I opened them back again, walking forward. I heard grandpa gasp at the sight he saw. I walked up the stairs, water forming beneath my eyes. I saw hotaru's door open. I walked and walked.
I gasped at what I saw. Hotaru was there, lying on the ground with with with blood! I screamed, hearing grandpa run towards me. He hugged me tightly and hushed me. He too saw the scene and gasped. Wanna know what I saw? I saw a lot of red. Things scattered all over. Windows broken. Doors opened. Five year old girls shouldn't see these things. I cried and cried. I can't believe what I was seeing. I stopped after about ten minutes, my grandpa's shirt was wet from all my crying. I still was when I saw the scene again, I stood up from my grandpa. I went inside her room, it was really messy. I saw something at the seating by the window. Another red. But – it looked like a gem.
A red gem.
I took it and put it inside my pocket. Whoever owned this, was going to be in a really big trouble.

The next day, the police went in hotaru's house. I still haven't recovered from what I saw. I locked myself up in my room and didn't want to come out. I would only let my grandpa in and not any other people. Not even my new friends.
How could this have happened?
I heard my grandpa talking to the police that day. I heard him something about 'them' . I bet it's the vampires. I mean, who else would eat blood? And whole else would suck on people's neck?
I hate vampires.
When I grow up, I'll investigate on this. I'm not even kidding, even though I'm a little girl, I won't joke around about these type of things.
