Edited on 26/10/12: - everything from here on are add-on notes –

Yawn~ Finally, I've completed my English papers for the final year examination so now I can totally get a Beta to help me in my stories ~

Ah, I've correct my mistakes in this chapter after re-reading it just now and realised that I made some horrible mistakes in here. I'll also be re-reading and editing each and every chapter until the most recent one from now on.

Notice: Finding a Beta whose writing style isn't much different from mine or is flexible enough to fit my style of writing. Since I have very horrible grammar and am very bad at spotting mistakes when proofreading at times, I do hope that I would get someone patient enough to stay with me until my horrible English has been corrected for each chapter. Thank you.

Disclaimer: I do not own MSLN.

Warning: I would be altering the characters personalities as the story goes on to suit the plot. Read at your own risk. I'm sorry if you don't like the changes. By the end of the story, their personalities shouldn't be too different, because by then, the problem would already have been resolved.

A/N : Er... Well, nice to meet you. *bows* This is my first time writing a fanfiction online so please be kind to me. *Bows again* I would very much appreciate any useful comments to improve my story. I hope I won't bore you out though. Okay well... Lets start x

Betrayal and Agony

Prologue

Fate's POV

I was adopted into this family of 5 together with my twin sister, Alicia. I was living with insecure feelings at first. But, as months passed, I gradually got used to my new family. Even my twin sister became very good friends with Nanoha, who was of the same age as me and Alicia, in this family. I was closer to the older two, Kyouya and Miyuki, Nanoha's siblings.

This family was unique in a way that all of them were vampires. I wasn't scared of them but felt a little distant when the family of 5 drank blood during meals when I and Alicia ate normal food. I wanted to be like them, to be closer to them. That was what I strongly felt.

It was a normal day like usual and I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth before heading downstairs for breakfast. Alicia, at this time was still sleeping sounding on the bed we shared. Straight after my wash-up, I hurried down to the dining table and saw that the food was already prepared for two people, Alicia and me.

I stood at the table for a while thinking about whether I should go back up to wake Alicia up but decided against it. "Alicia!" I heard a voice from behind and turned. It was Nanoha. It seems that she once again mistook me for my sister. I felt anger rising as I had a secret crush on her since very long ago.

"What is it? My sister is still asleep." I tried to act calm as I replied her.

"Ah! Did I make a mistake again?" she asked me while laughing and playing dumb with scratching her head.

I was really, really irritated by that and answered her in a very harsh tone despite feeling bad about having to do so, "Stop it! Do you really even try to get us right, this is the thousand and one time you made the mistake!"

"Nyahaha. You were actually counting those days?" she started to burst out laughing once again. I blushed at those words and thought that if I entertained her further, I would end up becoming all weird like her, so I ignored her reply and continued with breakfast.

"Drrrgg.." A dragging sound could be heard from beside me while I was eating and I was surprised; Nanoha had taken the seat beside me and sat down staring at me eating.

"Is the food really that nice?" Nanoha asked while she continued staring at me, this time moving closer and closer to me by the moment. Her face was reaching mine and so I flinched. "Whoa! Are you okay?!" I started choking straight after I flinched and she was panicking as she asked me.

"I'd be alright if you were a little more considerate!" I thought to myself as I quickly stood up and ran to the kitchen to grab a drink. Soon after I calmed down, she patted me on my back and once again I flinched. Annoyed by her ignorant attitude I could only sigh and walk away after I felt better.

Later that day, Alicia woke up and was playing, once again, with Nanoha. I could feel jealousy filling up in my heart. "Why is she always so close with Nanoha!" I thought to myself as I clenched my fist and starting hugging my knees to my chest. My sister's really kind and caring towards me but I can't help being jealous of her at times like this.

Nanoha's POV

"Haaa…. Why must we have school today when I don't feel good?" I sighed as I walked at a slow pace to my school. Walking beside me was Alicia and behind me, Fate. We had become family a few years ago and now we are all going to the same school.

"But it sure is a good day isn't it!" Alicia exclaimed as she held my hand and pulled me to match her walking pace, leaving Fate behind. Feeling guilty, I slowed my pace down forcefully and Alicia had no choice but to follow me. I had a crush on Fate ever since the first time I saw her but I had no courage to tell her that. Therefore, I deliberately played as an innocent and ignorant girl while I became good friends with Alicia to hide my secret. And for some mysterious reason, I could differentiate the twins.

"Haaa…." I sighed once again.

Suddenly, a loud crash could be heard from the front. Wondering what had happened, I ran there while Fate and Alicia followed behind me. Reaching the scene, I saw a guy who looked around the same age as me with green eyes and blonde hair. He seemed to be searching for someone or maybe something. He wore a black suit and held a book in his hands. Then, he turned in my direction and walked towards me, or rather us; Fate, Alicia and me.

"I found you, Fate and Alicia." That boy started to speak as he took his free hand out and held Fate's hand, followed by Alicia's. I was shocked and wanted to give him a straight punch in his face right now, but I couldn't.

"What do you mean?" I immediately retained my anger, stepped forward and stretched my arm out in front of Fate and Alicia blocking him. "Don't touch these two so familiarly."

"Ohh? So you are…. I see." The boy pondered for a bit before turning around and walking away. "Well then, I'll see you again."

Just like that the boy left and the crowd dispersed. Though, a big dent could be seen on the floor in front of us once the crowd left. The boy was no joke; he definitely had some connection to my father who worked as a bodyguard and of course, Fate and Alicia too.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

"Yea." Both Fate and Alicia replied at the same time, as expected of twins. Relieved, I continued to head to school with the both of them. This time, I held both their hands as we headed to school.

And…. That was the last time I ever walked to school with them.
