xx~xxxxxx~xx

Breath in. Breath out.

Kagome closed her blue eyes, accepting her death as these bastards, who claimed to work for the Queen's benefits, placed a noose around her neck.

"Are you ready vampire?" The man asked Kagome for the 5th time in the last 10 minutes.

The young-looking woman openned her eyes and looked at the man and smirked at him before replying with a, "More than ready than you ever will be during your life-time, swine!" That seemed to make the man growl but Kagome meerly shook it off and looked foreward to the large group of humans who were yelling and shouting insults at the black-haired woman, who closed her eyes again and smiled softly and began singing the song her sister had written long ago but refused to sing it. Thinking that it was the least Kagome could do before she died as well.

I've written songs
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark

The young-looking woman smiled when she caught a memory of her older sister writting some songs in the middle of the night with a candle so she could see how the sick children from the orphanage thought of them.

I've felt inspired
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark

Many pictures that the orphans would draw for Kagome and her sister, despite the fact that both women weren't human and were the very thing that could kill them with a single thought. Many of those pictures kept Kagome going when she thought of just dying one day and letting all of her pain just disappear.

I hide myself
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark

Kagome and her sister would hide from the soldiers of the Queen so that they wouldn't kill the two women.

Used to be afraid
Of the dark, of the dark, of the dark, of the dark

Kagome's older sister would cry in herself to sleep as a child while hiding under the blankets so that the monsters wouldn't come and get her in the darkness.

The black-haired woman smirked, thinking it funny, that vampires, nosferatu were considered, to humans, that they were the scary monsters in the middle night. And Kagome and her sister were told as children that humans would do anything to kill vampires.

The rope around Kagome's neck tightened and the woman looked to the pile of bodies of the orphanage children and the one body of the kind old man who let Kagome and her older sister stay in the orphanage, despite the fact that both women weren't human. And finally, what remained of, her sister's body. Kagome's older sister was butchered like an animal brought to slaughter.

A tear ran down her cheek.

Those in the light know we die
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark

Kagome stared at the large group of humans in front of her, not feeling contempt towards them, but pity. Pity that they didn't know the kindness that the old man and those orphans had showed Kagome and her dear sister.

There's only artifical light here
My flaws hide well here
I used to be afraid of the cluttered noises
Now I'm afraid of the silence
Fill this space
Idle words

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did

Now I am mute despite myself
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes me
The idle words foresake me
And I am left to face me

I'm held accountable
For every idle word
Curse the idle words

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did

Glory shows up
Exposes us
I'm naked here
Foresaken here
By the dark
By the dark
Damn the dark

I'm scared of death of the light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did

Then, the floor beneath Kagome's feet collapsed and she fell through it, hanging in the air by the rope that was firmly restricting Kagome's air supply until the woman could no longer breath and she heard something whiz above her head and she instantly fell to the hard stone ground. The rope still squeezing around her neck, unable to remove it on her own, seeing as her hands were tied behind her back.

Kagome openned her blue eyes only to see someone she hadn't in 30 years running towards her dressed in a red and black (a/n: She can see very well at the moment, so no details.).

She closed her eyes and whispered the name of her savior before her vision became black.

"Alucard."
