Chapter 1: A Slayer's BeginningKnock Knock
"Coming, coming. That must be Ms. Marikano right now," The butler walked down the grand staircase in the dark mansion and headed for the door.
A flash of lightning followed by thunder caused the banging on the door to get even louder. The butler signed and thought over how his master lacked patience more than any thing else. He had served in the mansion and took care of his master ever since he could remember. Ever since the tragic accident of his original master's death. The butler remembered so well how it happened. The damaged car, the ruined tree and the little girl who managed to survive from the crash; despite of her father who didn't make it. After that incident, the little girl was given all her father's wealth and she became the butler's new master. However, no one knew how the accident happened. Some said the car just rolled off the highway by accident or of careless driving. Only the butler and the little girl knew what caused the accident.
Few days during the tragedy, there have been strange accidents and people have been seen dead near cold and dingy places across the town of Domino. The newspapers revealed the victims to be covered in blood with two teeth marks on the side of their necks and what appeared to be a piece of paper with a black 'X' next to every one of them. Police configured them to be some kind of sniper attacks. The superstitions believed them to be a curse and a supernatural threat to the humans. No body knew however that this was a work of night breeds, or in other words, a vampire.
The little girl knew it was true. The day her father died was when she was only 8 years old and returning home with her dad in his Mercedes Benz from his work in an automobile trading business. It was coming close to sunset and the clouds joined together in the sky, letting out droplets of rain.
(Flashback)
" Daddy, what should I be when I grow up?" the little girl asked as she leaned forward to the front where her father was driving.
" Julie, I told you to put on that seat belt," her father replied, " Well honey, you can start a trading business like me."
" No way, trading with other countries is too boring. Maybe I can own a duel monsters card company or run a toy store," the little girl smiled as she stroked the soft locks of her doll.
Her father smiled as he focused the mirror to the back where his daughter was sitting. "Now that is what I call an imaginative little girl of mine. Tell you what, when we get home, I'll tell our butler to help you out on your future career ideas."
"That sounds great daddy!"
Suddenly, a loud thump was heard on the side of the Mercedes Benz. A huge wing banged itself on the side window.
" Daddy, what was that?!" the little girl got scared and tightened her grips on the seat.
" I don't know, I…I'm losing control of the car!" her father tried to turn the steering wheel to the other side but it was no use. The car was moving off the highway. " Oh no, we are gonna crash! Hold on Julie!"
The little girl closed her eyes and put her arms around her doll. In an instant, they were off the road and rolling into the woods. The bumpy ride seemed to go on forever until the car slammed hard right into a tree, damaging both the vehicle and the tree. Five minutes later, the little girl came out of the car, with a broken leg and blood pouring out of her scraped arm. She slowly walked over to the front and looked into the driver seat.
" Daddy….daddy, wake up," she called out with tears rolling down her cheek at the sight of her dead father. "Wake up daddy, we were supposed to go home and discuss about my career. Please daddy, wake up." She fell to her knees and began to cry silently. A huge dark figure flew overhead as the little girl opened her eyes and tried to focus on the thing through her wet eyes. She gasped as the figure flew away, with wings twice as large as a bat, and an ugly face with two large fangs sticking out from its mouth. A distance noise of a police car was heard and the girl just sat there, staring at the sky, thinking about what she just saw. "
" Oh my, Ms. Marinako, are you okay?!" the butler came running towards the girl and picked her up in his arm. " I saw the whole thing on the news. Ohh, you must be scared to death poor child!" he began to look around her arms and legs for injuries. " You are hurt, come on, I have to get you to a doctor!"
" But….but daddy has to come too," the girl began to sob in his arms. " I want daddy to come back."
" Me too Ms. Marikano. But he is not alive anymore," the butler hugged the child. " Your father has gone to a better place and he will never come back."
As they left for the limo that the butler drove to get there, the little girl peeked from his shoulders at the horrid scene. That thing in the sky killed daddy, I know it did. The butler put her inside the limo and got into the driver seat. She looked at the messed up doll that she now held in her hands. That thing is going to pay; I am going to hunt it down.
(End of flashback)
Days passed and the little girl reached the age of 16, still keeping the promise she made to slaughter the winged beast. So, she dedicated her life to be the hunter of the night and protect the innocent life. She was then forward known as Vampire Slayer Marinako.
Another flash of lightning and thunder brought the butler back to reality. He was thinking so much of the past events that he nearly forgot he had to get the door. He touched the large golden-dragon shaped doorknob and pulled it open, not surprised to see a drenched and impatient teenager with short black hair (A/N: Picture Hokuto Sumeragi from Tokyo Babylon.) and dark clothes with black gloves that printed two white cross on the front.
" May I ask what the hell took you so long to answer the door?" The girl stepped in, dripping rainwater on the carpet. " I was standing forever outside, and in this thunderstorm too!"
" I am so sorry Ms. Marinako, it won't happen ever again." The butler replied, closing the door so the gushing wind would not blow in. " I presume you have managed to defeat the vampire that have been attacking the people near the Domino Coast."
Julie Marinako took off her gloves and the overcoat she was wearing. " Oh yes, damn beast wouldn't die. But as always, I used my cool moves and hiyaaaaa!!!" she kicked hard in mid air. " The thing just dropped dead like a bird that has been shot down. I did get a scrape from its ferocious claws but it won't harm me that much."
" Well Ms. Marikano, I am pretty sure it's close to 1:00 in the morning so I suggest you go to bed. A vampire slayer needs to get some rest to keep up with the kicking and the punching." The butler said.
Julie signed to the thought of going to bed. Butt-kicking vampires had turned into a hobby for her and now she wanted to do it all over again. " Alright then, I'm off to catch some 'Zs', goodnight." She ran upstairs and disappeared into the darkness above.
The butler watched her go and whispered a 'good night'. Then, he took Julie's wet clothes and also went to get some sleep.
That is the end of chapter 1. Sorry not much happened for you to give comments and such but I thought the first chapter should contain the prologue thingy. Anyway, please review!
