My name is Nayoka Akashiya, the third and last child of Ayumi and Ichiro Akashiya; we belong to a family of S-Classed monsters known as Vampires. I was fifteen at the time and I had long, blonde hair tied into a ponytail and I wore a red dress to go along with my blood-red vampiric eyes. We lived in the 'Monster World' in a large mansion on an enormous estate which was gated with twenty-foot tall walls; tomorrow I will be attending Youkai Academy, the third best monster school as monsters couldn't attend school in the real world because monsters and humans don't get along.
"Nayoka" I heard a feint voice calling for me, "Nayoka" they called again but even louder, "Nayoka!" the voice screamed in my ears as I jumped out of my bed only to fall on the floor. As I rubbed my head I noticed it was my eldest brother Dante whom was seventeen years old, "Dad wants to see you" he gave me a look of no emotions before slowly walking away. When I'm around Dante I would always feel this cold, dark aura emitting from his body and to make it worse he shows almost no emotions which makes him a lethal killer in battle. Dante would most of the time wear a black tuxedo with the jacket unbuttoned and he would wear no tie, he also had wavy, dark-blue hair. "Aren't you going to him?" Dante stopped at the room door and turned his head to look at me, "Umm, y-yeah!" I hesitatingly jogged in front of Dante to the Throne Room. My father always sits in the Throne Room because he was the Head of the Akashiya Family and he would sometimes have other vampires pleading to him about various situations, "He's ready for you" Dante startled me as he came up from behind.
In front of me was a large, fifteen-foot tall, golden door, "Open" Dante spoke through the door as the door effortlessly widened to make room for Dante and I. At both sides of the door there were old, twin vampires with hunchbacks, "I've never actually been in here before…" I whispered to myself. I gazed at the columns holding up the second floor to the Throne Room and the skylight above the center of the room, "Ah, there you are" my father glared at me from his large throne at the other end of the room, filled with rubies, diamonds and gold. "Yes father?" I bowed in front of his throne to show my respect for his authority, I was always shouted at by my father if I didn't address him properly, if I didn't bow to him whenever I'm in his presence and when it always came on to training with my brothers I would be the person he wants to lose and he would always instruct my opponent to go harder, not even caring about my well-being. He had shoulder-length dark-blue hair and a lightning scar across his right eye, he wore a long black cloak over his red cargo pants and red shirt, "I want you to fight your brother" my father looked into my eyes, "Fight him? But I can't win against him, he's stronger than m-" I whined but my father interrupted, "I don't care!" he screamed at me. "You'll be attending a monster tomorrow and no doubt there'll be some fights, I want to see if you'll live up to the Akashiya name" he explained.
My father had one of the doormen escort both Dante and I to the main room, a large room filled with chandeliers , skylights, large windows and two sets of stairs on both sides of the room which led to a hall above. "Begin" my heart pounded from those very words, Dante charged relentlessly towards me extending his fist forward aiming at my neck but luckily I managed to dodge by jumping into the air, "Typical" Dante said from above me, "You're not very good at this" Dante swung his right leg in an arc, pounding my left cheek and sending me flying towards the ground in the process. Dante was always brutal when it comes to sparring matches with me, it always seemed like I was no better than a savage werewolf who had just decapacitated a vampire because he showed no remorse, no emotion, no hesitation, "Take it easy on her Dante" I heard a familiar voice several feet away from our fighting area.
"Get up" I heard Dante's footsteps coming closer.
"W-Why are you always so hard on me…?" I struggled to gain my balance with tears running down my cheeks, "I've never done anything to you!" I jumped in the air to land a tremendous fist blow to his face but he easily grabbed the attack with his hand, "You've done nothing to me… That's because you are nothing" Dante startled me with words that pierced my heart, "You're weak" he flung me several feet behind him, rolling against the floor. "Don't listen to him Nayoka" Virgil knelt in front of me, "You are strong, you're just not as strong as him yet, he's on a whole different level even for me" Virgil smiled at me. I always liked Virgil, he was the opposite of Dante, Virgil was nice, helpful and he would always nicely point out my mistakes during practice and wouldn't go hard on me. Virgil had short, blonde hair and he wore a white school shirt and khaki pants and black shoes, "Thanks…" I got up from off the floor and Virgil helped me to my room where he wiped away the small amount of blood from my face with a wet cloth, "You go to Youkai Academy too right Virgil?" I turned to him.
"Yeah" he smiled at me "I'll be in the 2nd Grade" he finished.
"And Dante's in the 3rd Grade…" I hung my head.
"Oh he isn't so tough, deep down he's a softie I'm sure of it" Virgil reassured me, "I'll be there for you so he won't trouble you, just come find me on the 2nd Grade Block if you need anything" he smiled.
"Thanks Virgil…" I rested my head on his shoulder.
"I'll always be there for you lil' sis" Virgil said.
