AN: I do not own vampire knight. Please review:)

"Neh mama, why do I always have to stay inside?" the little girl asked when her mother refuse to allow her to play outside. "Nii-chan is always going out so why can't I?" she continued sulking.

Her mother kneeled down and said "It's not safe out there Alice-chan" "But if I go with Nii-chan…" she did not get to finish what she was saying as someone had scoped her up and spine her around. "Nii-chan, stop!" the little girl squealed.

"Were you being naughty again?" her brother nuzzled the side of her neck and placed the girl down, holding her hand. "That tickles!" she giggled than resume her pouting. "Mama won't let me out" she pouted. "It's for your own good Alice" her brother said and ruffled her hair. "'Sides isn't it passed your nap time?" he grinned. "I'm not tired!" the girl said and crossed her arms. A moment later, she let out a huge yawn. Laughing, her brother carried her and said "How about if you go to bed, I read you a story?" Alice shook her head. "I want Nii-chan to sing" she said. "Deal" her brother said with a smile. "Yeah!" she shouted, clapping her hands as her brother carried her to her room.

30 minutes later, Eric came out and sat on the coach ridding his temples. The many sleepless night taking a toll on him. "Asleep?" their mother asked as she sat on the coach opposite of him. He nodded. "So…how's the situation?" their mother asked in a worried voice. "Nothing so far, but I'm sure he is up to something." Eric said with a sigh.

They spent the next hour discussing the situation. "Nii-chan? Kaa-san?" Alice rubbed her eyes sleepily and walked towards them in a drunken state. "Careful!" Eric leaped up and caught Alice before she could bang into the coffee table. "Nii-chan…" Alice yawned and fell asleep in her brother's arms. Eric sigh in relief and gently lay his sister on the coach. From the way he looked at her, one could tell that he really care a lot about his sister.

Pulling the blanket over her, he turned to their mother. "How long do you intend to keep her in this windowless room?" "We're not sure. With the danger she is in now, I'm not sure if she could ever go out." She said sadly. It breaks her heart that her daughter could not see the outside world.

Alice stirred and slowly sat up still half asleep. She turned towards her brother and looked at him for a moment before widening her eyes like she had just remembered something. "What is it Alice?" Eric asked. Worry thick in his voice. Without warning, Alice tackled him causing both of them to tumble onto the floor. "Alice!" their mother cried when she saw her fall. Alice giggled as she sat up. "Nii-chan, you went out today ya?" she asked in an excited voice. When he nodded, she squealed and jumped up and down clapping her hands. "Gift time, gift time!" she shrieked, running in circles around her brother. Laughing, Eric caught his sister mid-run and sat her on his lap.

"Gift?" she asked innocently. "Here you go" he took out a picture from his side pocket and placed it in her hand. "Wa…pretty!" she exclaimed than frown. "Nii-chan, what's this?" Eric stiffen. He had forgotten that Alice had never been outside and therefore did not know what a sunset is. "It's a picture of a sunset Angel" he said with a smile. "S-sun-sunset" Alice repeated liking how the word sounds. Eric ruffled her hair and hugged her tighter. "N-Nii-chan, can't b-breath" Alice chocked out. "Aaa…sorry Angel" he apologized and immediately released her. Their mother smiled at this.

The door to the room slammed close and a man, around the age of 30, came in. He had chestnut brown hair and hazel eyes. "Tou-san!" Alice squealed and leaped into the man's arm. "Angel" the man laughed and nuzzled the side of her neck. "Gift?" Alice asked and opened her hand. Her father laughs and carried her towards the couch. Sitting her on his lap, he took out a red colour box with matching bow tie from his coat pocket and handed it to her.

Alice looked at it in confusion. Seeing her expression, her family members bust out laughing. Alice turned and faced her father. Holding out the box, she asked, "What's this?" her father took the box from her and opened it.

Her eyes widen when she saw what was inside. It was a necklace. It had a thin silver chain from which an emerald green pendent hung. "Like it?" her father asked. Alice nodded. "Here, let me put it on for you" "Done" Alice looked down at the pendent. It was beautiful. "Arigato, Tou-san" Alice said and hugged her father.

"CRASH!"

Her parents and brother snapped their heads up. Alice looked at them in confusion. The trio were staring intently at the door as if expecting something or someone to bust in anytime.

"Carry her" her father said in a strained voice and handed Alice to her mother. "Kaa…" Alice stopped when her she shook her head. Another crash was heard and Alice buried her head in her mother's hair. Her mother placed a comforting hand on her head and began stroking her hair.

"AHH…!" the scream was cut short and a thud sound was heard as the body fall onto the floor. Alice whimpered. The door was flung opened and six men came running in panting hard. "Sir…" Alice's father nodded. He is here. Turning to his wife, he said "Take her far away and no matter what, don't turn back" Alice looked at her father. "Tou-san?" Smiling, her father carried her and whispered "I love you Alice. Always" After handing her back to her mother, he walked out of the room. Eric hugged her mother and sister before ordering three men to follow them.

Another loud crash and the breaking of glass could be heard. "Go" he said to his mother. "Stay safe. Both of you" she said before running out of the house. He then signalled the other three to follow him.

The sight that greeted them was anything but welcoming. The furniture was wrecked and broken glass lay everywhere. The vase that his mother treasured most lay shatter on the floor. "Ah…so glad you could join us nephew" Eric looked o where the voice was and glared. There standing near the front door was his uncle. "I'm no nephew of yours you monster!" Eric spat. Anger and hate clear in his eyes. "Is this how you teach your son brother?" Following the direction of his gaze, Eric found his father standing near the main stairs. "Tou-san!" Eric shouted and ran to his father. Looking around, his uncle asked in a neutral tone "Where is your sister?" "Nowhere near you that's for sure" Eric sneered. His father placed his hand on his shoulder. When he looked at him, he shook his head. Eric got the message. Keep calm and think before you act. "Hm, looks like I'll have to look for her later than" his uncle said with false disappointment. Eric sneered. "Down!" his father shouted and everyone kneeled down. A hole suddenly appeared where Eric's head was moments ago. "That could be my head" Eric thought. They were playing a dangerous game. One wrong move and they would be nothing in a matter of seconds. "Seems like you have been training" his uncle said. "Well, better for me anyway. I hate to win a game so easily." He said shrugged. "Water Jet!" Eric and his father jumped out of the way as a jet of water came their way. The jet of water sliced a marble statue into perfect half. Eric looked at what was left of the statue. "You looked surprise nephew" his uncle said bemused. "Let me enlighten you" he said. "Strong jets of water can cut through anything. Even metal" "That was helpful" Eric thought.

As the fighting was going on in the house, five figures were running through the night. As they had been running for many hours, they were beginning to feel tired. Alice was being carried by her mother. As they near the safe house, they heard a low growl. Turning, they came face to face with what look like a dog. It was too big to be one and though it had eyes, it was red in colour. Alice whimpered when she saw the creature. Her mother tightens her hold on her and began to back away slowly as the three guards stood in front of them. "We'll hold it back" one of the guards said. Alice's mother nodded and began to run just as the creature pounced. She bust into the safe house slammed the door close and locked it. "Mama" Alice said when her mother put her down. Kneeling, her mother hugged her and said "Alice-chan, you know that I'll always love you right?" Alice nodded. She did not know what is happening and her mother's behaviour was scaring her. When her mother released her, Alice saw that her mother was smiling and tears were running down her face. Pulling her on for another hug, her mother whispered "I love you my little Angel" The last thing that Alice saw was her mother smiling before darkness claimed her.

Fighting in the house intensified. Only Eric and his father were left. Both were panting heavily while his uncle seems like he did not even break a sweat. "I'm getting tired of this. Let's end this!" his uncle said. "Gladly" his father agreed. "Tou-san…" His father looked at him and smiled. "It'll be alright" he said. Somehow, Eric doubted it. His uncle smirked and sent another jet of water towards them. His father managed to avoid it but unfortunately, he did not see the sword that was thrown at him. Eric did and tried to warn his father but was too late. The sword pierced through his heart and he let ou. Eric kneeled down next to his father. His father gave him a weak smile. "Take care of her and keep her safe…" he whispered so softly that Eric almost didn't hear it. With that, he was gone. Range filled Eric. Slowly, he got up and faced his uncle. "YOU WILL PAY!" he shouted and released his powers upon him. After a few moments, the wind died down and Eric looked around. Their house was ruined. Remembering what his father dying wish is, Eric began to look for his sister and mother.

As the snow started falling, a girl, around the age of 5, with chestnut brown hair and almond eyes wandered aimlessly. She was feeling cold and hungry. She had woken up in what looked like a safe house and had no idea how she had gotten there. All she remember was that she was called Alice. The little girl stopped and looks up at the sky. "So pretty…"she thought. "Night time is a very dangerous time to be out you know?" The little girl turned and saw a man wearing a long brown leather coat. Everything about him looked normal enough. But when she saw his eyes, she shivered. They were red in colour. The man smiled and she saw that he had fangs. She wanted to run but her legs were rooted to the ground. The man stepped closer and sniffed the air. "Smells delicious" he grinned. The little girl backed away but tripped and fall. The man began to close the space between them. He revealed his fangs and…the little girl closed her eyes and waited for the pain. When nothing happened, she opened her eyes and saw that the man was backing away in fear all the while staring at something behind her. Looking behind, she saw a boy walking towards them. He had the same red eyes but somehow, the little girl felt relief instead of fear when she saw him. "You are such a disgrace to the vampire race" the teenage boy said. "F-for-forgive me!" the man pleaded. "I didn't mean any harm!" The boy looked at her than back at the man. Clearly not believing him. The boy than stood behind the little girl and placed his hand over her eyes. Just then, a strong gust of wind blew and when it died down, the boy removed his hand from her eyes. The man was gone. The little girl than turned to the boy. He was smiling at her. He too had fangs but she was not afraid. "It's dangerous here. Come." He said gently and offered his hand to her. Hesitantly, the little girl took it and followed the boy.
