Again her cheeks became flushed and soon her whole face and neck appeared to become red. Her heart was pounding in her chest so hard she thought it would burst. A feeling of utter weaknes possesed her body along with the incredably strong urge to get closer to her intended target. Her vision became hazy and drained of colour, untill all that was left was the dark aura of the one she was hunting. The once lively and full of light eyes became nothing more than dull lifeless orbs, with thin slits for pupils. Her hand slowly crawled up to her chest, where it then grasped her shirt in hoped of releaving herself of the aching pain that was crushing her heart. Her head was throbbing as she drew ragged breaths. Stumbling her way forward, she outstretched her hand towards her target, without them so much as knowing her presents. Until it was to late. Grabbing onto the womans shoulder she pulled her, making her twist and face her attacker.
"I...I can't hold it any...Any longer...!!" she thought desperately.
Her head was hung low as her dark purple bangs covered her eyes from veiw. Raising her head painfully slowly she gazed into their fearfull eyes that were silently telling their story of 'Unhappiness'. Leaning forward she breathed in their scent, that was unmistakably spiked with fear. As much as she hated to, she couldn't wait any longer. Without further delay, her lips crashed against the pulse on the strangers neck. Unconcioulsy, her tongue ran over her now longer and sharper fangs. Unable to control her next movements, she plunged her fangs into the womans neck releshing in the release that she was being given. She could feel her body trembling as her inner struggle ceased with each passing moment. Suddenly tears pricked her eyes as the dreaded guilt seaped in.
"Why..."
Now finished, she withdrew her fangs leaving two deep puncture wounds on her latest 'victims' neck. As she withdrew, she watched as the woman slumped on the ground.
"Why...Me...?"
Reaching her finger tips to touch her now tingling lips she sighed deeply. Tears slowly trailed down her flushed cheeks. Her head was spinning and her body felt weak and fragile. Maybe she had injected to much?
"Onee-chan..."
The voice broke her from her thoughts as she turned quickly to face the intuder. Though she regreted it greatly from the extra spinning her head was doing. Smiling meakly, she watched at her younger sibling's hand glowed an eery yellow and touched the forehead of the woman. With that single touch, the 'victim' had forgotten everything that had accured.
"Sorry...Anju...I guess i...Over did it..." Karin replied, as she collapsed.
Before she could hit the ground, a pair of strong arms caught her. Raising her pale hand, Anju called out for one her many familiars. What apeared to be hundreds of little black bats, flew above her until one landed softly on her hand. Bringing it close she spoke, her voice barley above a whisper. In an instant the bat was gone, along with almost have of the others.
"Ren Nii-san." acknowledged Anju, her captivating golden eyes staring blankly at her older brother.
"How many times has it been this week?" he asked, to no one in perticular "It seems to be increasing alot more recently."
Normally he couldn't care less, nor would he get involved in his sisters affairs. But lately her blood was increasing at an abnormal rate, rendering her practically useless. Not that she wasn't already. Lifting her into a bridal hold, his eyes softened slightly as her head slumped into his chest, giving the impression she was snuggling into him.
"You really are an idiot." he thought. "Anju." he called as he began walking back home, Karin in his arms.
"Karin!!"
Ren gently layed Karin on the large sofa, then walked to the other side of the room. Being his parents, they knew what he wanted of them. Following after him, they waited patiently for him to speak. After a few moments of silence, Henry could take it no longer. His aura shifting dramatically, his eyes glowing red and his fangs lengthening, he roared.
"Do not test me boy! What is wrong with Karin?!"
"I don't know." Ren said bluntly.
Henry was dumbfounded. His little 'transformation' dropped and he was back to normal. Slumping into his chair, Henry cradled his head as he felt another headache coming on. Every other second, his eyes would shift frmo the floor to his daughter lying lifelessly on the sofa. Sensing her husbands destress, Carrera sat herself on the arm of his chair, her legs elegantly crossed as she picked at her claw like nails.
"Ren, what aren't you telling us?" asked Carrera, when she head a barley audiable sigh from her only son, even with her vampiric hearing it was light.
Snorting Ren turned his head away. Like he was going to tell them anything. That would mean he would be showing his family that he actually cared for the pathetic excuse for a vampire that was his sister. With that thought, he took a quick glance at her. He could see a light layer of sweat smothering her head and neck and that her fangs were poking out from her lips. Rubbing the bridge of her nose, Carrera turned to her youngest child. Anju never could lie, nor could she dis-obey her parents. Even with her mono-toned voice Carrera could always tell when she was lying.
"Anju...Tell me what's going on." her mother ordered.
Anju opened her mouth but it soon closed again when she saw the death glare her brother was sending her. In their silent convosation, she could already hear his threatening words in her mind. Things like 'Say a thing and i'll destroy every doll in your room!' aswell as 'Try it, and i'll beat you so hard you won't be able to stand for a month!'. Her lips curled lightly at the mear thought of her brother even attempting to hit her. She knew for a fact that although Ren was not a man, well vampire, of fears she knew that their where only three things he was utterly scared of. One: the anilation of all human women in his taste. Two: their grandmother, Elda. And lastley their father. He was powerless against their father, and he knew it. Ignoring his death-like glares, she replied.
"Karin's blood has been increasing alot lately. In the last four days she has bitten five people."
"Hmph...That's beaten your fathers record!" she scoffed "Why not just nosebleed it out then? Wouldn't that be so much easier?!" she asked, still rubbing the bridge of her nose.
"She has made a promise with herself that she would not allow her blood to escape in that way, as it causes to much trouble for us and Usui-kun."
"Usui?!" yelled Henry "All of this is because of him! Never before has Karin had so much trouble before she met that damned human!"
"Shut it!" hissed Ren.
"WHAT?!"
"Your waking Karin!"
As if on cue, Karin groaned and moved ever so slightly. Quickly walking towards the sofa, Ren then knelt beside it placing his hand on Karin's forehead. Her face was burning. An obvious sign of a fever. Her breathing was still shallow and he could see how pale she was, even in the dim light. Picking her up once again, he then walked up stairs to her room. Everyone watched as he walked away none of them saying a word. Carrera pulled out a ciggarette and lit it. Taking a long drag, she then spoke, the smoke flowing from her nostrils.
"Well, who would have guessed that Ren would be taking care of Karin?" she said sarcastically "Got guts though. To openly tell you to 'shut it', i'm surprised you didn't kill him!"
As she spoke, she could see from the corner of her eye that her husband was fuming. His eyes were a ruby red and his fangs were pertruding over his bottom lip. Sighing she removed her slippper and smacked him in the head. At the contact he was brought ubruptly from his own world. Rubbing his now sour head he mummbled something under his breath.
"Get me a drink, and make it a good one." she commanded as she took another drag from her ciggarette.
"Yes, dear." he said as he walked away, his head hung low and an obvious look of depression on his face.
"Anju."
Although the youngest member did not speak, her mother knew she had her full attention. Sliding into the chair fully, Carrera pointed to the sofa. Taking the hint, Anju sat down awaiting her mother's words.
"Do you know why her blood in increasing so much?"
"No." came her short reply.
"..."
"Karin seems so unhappy, don't you think?" she asked, her voice soft and light "I beleive she is trying to control her instincts by herself, in order to be more like a normal vampire. To be more like us."
"Oooh? And why's that?"
"Maybe cause we're always telling her how much of a failure she is as a vampire. Or it could be cause she wants to be like the rest of us, like her whole family." said Ren as he entered the living room.
"Che. Since when did you become 'Mr sesitive'?" asked Carrera, annoyance and sarcasm in her words.
"Since i have to listen to her cry herself to sleep everynight. Ever wondered why i've been leaving the house before she goes to bed now?" he asked.
Anju gave his a blank gaze as she tightened her hold on her doll, Boogie. Carrera looked disinterested and Henry returned with his wifes drink in hand.
"It's cause i'm sick of hearing her cry. Either that or she yells at herself for being different, Stupid and other things. Saying she 'Wants to dissappear' or 'Dry up and die'."
"My little girl, Karin, says stuff like that?!" wailed Henry "Oh my poor, poor Karin!! She has it so hard!! I'm a horrible father!!"
Everyone rolled their eyes at his behaviour. Honestly, how many vampires do you know that would break down and cry like a blubbering baby at a few words, but could stand the sight of so much gore and blood?! He was a vampire!! A blood sucking, night stalking being that wasn't even human!! Becoming aggitated with his wailing, Carrera charged her slipper with her powers and smacked his across the head once again, this time knocking him out. Sweat dropping, she then sighed deeply, she then turned her attention to Ren.
"Is this true?" she asked, a dangerous look in her golden eyes that told him if he was lying it would he would be in a world of pain.
"Do you think i would stoop as low as to lie about something so serious? I am no human." he snapped, ignoring his mothers looks.
"I guess not." she replied "But if Karin is truley thinking like this, there is no telling what she could do. She is safe during the night, as we can keep an eye on her, but during the day we are helpless. And we can no longer count on that Usui boy, as he is one of the reasons for her current condition." she thought.
Getting up, she revomed herself from the living room, draggin her unconsious husband along with her and making her way upstairs. Sighing, Ren looked at his watch and sat down slinging his legs over the arm of the chair an resting his arms behind his head. Just as his eyes closed, a voice spoke.
"Ren Nii-san." said Anju, who had been silent up until now "Do you think we should tell them about what happened?"
"No. And if i find out you did, your in for it." he replied gruffly "Damn i'm hungry..." he moaned "And it's too late to go out now. But the time i find someone suttible the sun would have rose."
Squeasing Boogie once more, Anju also left the living room to retreat to her room. Once in the confides of her room she sat on her bed looking at her best friend. The doll was a strange thing. Clad in a yellow shirt with orange stripes, blue trousers with a single strap over his shoulder keeping them up. He had bluey-green matted, almost spikey, hair with beady black eyes and an overley large mouth. But to top it off was the large kitchen knife attacked to his left hand. It was hard to imagine that a murderous monster was being sealed within him, well except for the creapy, yet annoying, voice and his tendency to swing his knife around like a lunatic...
"What's wrong, Anju?" asked Boogie.
"Onee-chan is in pain. And i can do nothing to help her." she replied in a mono-toned voice.
"Ahh forget about, Karin! She's nothing but a deranged vampire. Sh--"
"Boogie!!" Anju yelled holding his up by his throat, her eyes becoming slits as her vampire instincts kicked in for that slight moment in time "Never speak of Onee-chan like that!!"
"So-sorry...Anju!!" he stuttered as he sweat dropped.
Realising what she was doing, Anju pulled Boogie into a light embrace. Slowly she lowered herself so that she was laying, her head just below her pillows.
"Onee-chan...Why do you continue to torture yourself?"
