Chapter 1

A New beginning

Vampire Village

Early Morning

A young boy was standing in the middle of his village. It is the early morning hours. He is thin and seemingly malnourished. His dirty hair looked to be purple underneath all the dirt and grime that covered his shoulder length hair. He is dressed in raggedy clothing that barely covered his thin frame. The village at the moment is quiet as a gentle breeze blew some dust around the boy's dirty body. The houses were all closed up as were the windows and the curtains. The boy looked down at his hands; his nails were broken although they appeared to be still somewhat sharp.

A tall man dressed in a nice black suit walked over to the boy. He had shoulder length blue-gray hair and sparkling blue eyes set in a sharp face. The man was the head of the village. He ruled over both the DayWalker and the NightWalker Vampires, trying to keep peace between the two breeds. The boy backed away from the man, his head bowed immediately knowing who this man was. The man only smiled down at the boy and held his left hand out to him. "Come… It'll be alright…" the village head said in a gentle tone.

The boy looked up at the man, his face is dirty and his blue eyes are dull in color. The man handed the boy a squirrel to feed off of. The boy took the squirrel rather eagerly and sank his little fangs into the animal's throat, drinking the blood that came to his lips, which wasn't much. The man knelt down in front of the boy and patted his head gently; this only caused the boy to flinch away from the man again. "If you come with me… I can give you a nice home, fresh food, and clean clothing to wear every day." Slowly, the boy took the man's hand with his small right hand. His left hand was still clutching the squirrel. A small smile crept on the boy's lips. The man smiled and led the boy to his large mansion that was off to the right side of the clearing. The boy followed the man slowly with his head down.

The mansion was lavishly decorated on the outside. It was painted in a shade of dark blue with red trim work around the windows and door. On the inside, everything was either gold or silver. Everything was expensive and hard to replace. The lobby of the mansion had two sets of stairs that led up to the second floor. In the center of the lobby was a floating crystal orb that allowed Michael, the village head, to summon the Vampires for meetings. Behind the orb was a painting of Michael holding a golden staff and dressed in his finest black silk suit. The floor was black marble which was polished every day by the servants of the household. The stairs themselves were made from black marble with banisters of red oak wood.

Later that day, the boy is brought to the servants' quarters and dressed in a nice black suit that marked him as one of the household's butlers. He was given a bath and his hair brushed and put in a ponytail at the nap of his neck. His nails were trimmed and then gloves put on his hands. He was given a pair of nice black dress shoes to wear. The boy swallowed hard unsure of what to do. He had no name and he had no training whatsoever as a butler; the man thought for a long moment before he spoke. "Your name will be Gakupo Kamui and from now on you will do as I say and you will only obey me," Michael instructed the young boy. The boy nodded his head slowly as the man continued to look him over. To Michael, the boy looked to be around the age of eight, still young enough to mold and train as he saw fit, and he smiled at this. The boy did not look at the village head; he kept his gaze focused on the floor or his feet. "Go clean the kitchen," the man said pointing in the direction of the large kitchen towards the back of the mansion. The boy followed the order without a single complaint which made the village head happy. He knew that he would have a faithful servant at last. One that was grateful for him giving him a home to live in and food to eat.
