Red Rose

It was once said that once a mortal has been bitten by a vampire,

The mortal itself will eventually turn into one of them…

CHAPTER ONE:

"Mama," called out a little girl with short honey brown hair and enchanting jade green eyes as she jumped up and down in front of a lady. The lady crouched down so that she could be levelled with the little child and smiled warmly at her. She had long navy blue locks and mesmerising emerald green eyes.

"Sakura," she said tenderly as she hugged the child, "Lets' go to the park."

"Will Touya come too mama?" asked Sakura as she looked at her mother's eyes with a curious expression, her mother could not help but chuckle. She then heard footsteps behind her, it sounded like someone was running so she turned and saw that it was her 12 year-old son: Touya.

"Mum, are we going now?" he asked, it sounded as if he was getting irritated with the delays Touya had midnight blue hair, which spiked up naturally and his eyes were navy blue. His mother could not but laugh, earning expressions of curiosity and confusion from her two children. Then, she heard another set of footsteps approaching her and she stood to greet the figure.

"Nadeshiko," said the man as he held her close to him tightly. He had fair brown hair and hazel brown eyes which were restricted behind his glasses. Nadeshiko looked up him and smiled warmly at him with her emerald green eyes.

"Fujitaka," she said in a whispering tone. She then heard a gasping giggle behind her.

"Daddy!" said Sakura as she tried to leap onto him, earning laughter from Nadeshiko and Fujitaka himself while Touya muttered something inaudible. Fujitaka knelt down so that he was level with the five year-old Sakura and smiled at her.

"Would you like a piggy-back ride, Sakura-chan?" he asked and watched as her brilliant jade green eyes light up with excitement and her face showing happiness at her father's request. She clapped her little hands together and nodded with enthusiasm. Fujitaka gave out a chuckle as he lifted her up and place her on his shoulders, holder her hands so that she wouldn't fall off. She gave out a cheer when they started to walk to the park in the evening, before the sun started to set. When they reached to the park, Nadeshiko started to spread the blanket out while Touya and Sakura were playing with his soccer ball.

"Waah! Big Meanie!" cried out Sakura when Touya took the ball off her for the fifth time, and Touya just smirked with triumph as he succeeded in making Sakura lose. He walked towards her and ruffled her hair playfully, causing Sakura to give out childish protests as she tried to squirm out of his reach. Touya chuckled as he chased his little sister around the park as she stole the ball off him and ran off with it.

"Oi kaijuu! Where are you?" he called out playfully, knowing that once she answers he'll know immediately know where she's hiding. Sure enough, he heard her holler, "Sakura no Kaijuu!"

Smirking at his own genius, he ran to the direction where Sakura's voice came from but as he got closer to her hiding spot, he felt dread in his stomach. He then narrowed his eyes as he ran towards the bushes. When he got there, he heard a piercing scream of his little sister, he stood there frozen and his heart missed a beat. He heard other screams as well, screams of his mother and father. He quickly ran as fast as he could to the picnic area where his parents were intending to eat at but stopped in his tracks when he saw the scene. Sakura was on her knees, her eyes wide and pale, lifeless and dead as she looked at her outstretched hands. Touya's eyes widened in shock when he saw the contents in her cupped hands. Blood. He looked at the scene around him. Blood. There was blood everywhere. There was a rustle of movements and he looked up in front of him. A lady stood there, covered in a black coat as she held his mother's dead bloody body by her neck. She then brought is closer to its mouth and to Touya's and Sakura's horror, the figure licked the blood on their mother's cheeks before she licked her lips. When she finally noticed the two young siblings, she gave out a chuckle as it disappeared from sight.

"My, my," she whispered in Touya's ear. Her tone was seductive, it hypnotised him as his eyes slowly went blank and lifeless. He could hear her voice in his head, Do you want…to be…like…me? she asked seductively in his mind, he could hear the answer in his mind; he slowly nodded. Good boy…, she said, he could feel her head going down to where his neck is, he could feel her breaths on his neck. Sakura stared blankly at him, apparently she was hypnotised as well as she slowly stood up and walked to her, as if she was in a trance. Touya could feel fangs sinking down into his neck, but the lady's voice told him not to resist and he obeyed. He could hear his blood being sucked out of him, he was going drowsy but his body stayed awake.

"Is onii-chan tired?," asked Sakura as she held onto his hand and squeezed it tightly. It only then he realized that he was bleeding, not from his neck but from his heart and he snapped out of his trance.

"So you finally realised, that you were wounded at the critical point of your body," said the lady, a grim expression was on her face, "What you experienced just then was an illusion, you have just awakened to the truth that you're a vampire, Touya."

His eyes widened in shock, he looked at Sakura but her eyes were still lifeless and he held her towards him tightly, not let letting her go. "Why?" he asked, "Why did mum and dad had to die?!"

The lady just stood there with a sombre expression her face, "I didn't kill them, they we're murdered long ago when you two were chasing each other around. It was quick, I couldn't save them."

"Who are you?" asked Sakura in a monotonous voice to the lady, "Why…did you trick onii-chan?"

"My name is Aurora Anderson, I'm from England and I was assigned to protect your parents," she said as she patted Sakura's head. Sakura took a step back, and hid behind Touya. Touya could tell that Sakura was afraid, her eyes were starting to show emotions, as if it was coming back to life. Aurora smiled sadly as she straightened up and started to walk away from the two siblings, "I'd be careful if I were you Touya, just make sure that you'll keep your temper down and not reveal your true self. If you don't, then you'll find yourself leading a wanted life of a fugitive which can have devastating effect on your sister." Without another word said, Aurora disappeared in an blink of an eye, leaving the two siblings alone in the bloody park, where Touya realised with a shocking realisation that his parent's bodies were butchered into pieces, much to Sakura's horror as she crashed onto her knees again with tears coming down onto her face.

"Mama…," she whispered through her tears, her voice full anguish, "Papa…"

Touya knelt down next to her and held her into a tight embrace, "Don't worry Sakura, I'll find the person who did this and kill him," whispered Touya as he stroked her hair. They were discovered an hour later by a passerby, who immediately notified the police. The police came and asked both Touya and Sakura questions, before sending them to the hospital for a check up to see if they're really alright.

Before they went into the ambulance van, Sakura turned and looked at the sky with her tear streaked face and saw that the sky was glowing orange as the sun settled into the horizon. She thought of how happy everyone was, before such a brutal attack happened to two wonderful parents. More tears went down her face, why did her parents have to die? They were wonderful parents, they didn't deserve this so why? Why? All of her questions were left unanswered as the van headed towards the hospital. No one knew the answer and she vowed to keep up her family's honour, she would continue to smile and be gentle. She won't make herself stand out, she'll just be simple, just like her mum. Her eyes were starting to get heavy and heavier as she thought more. When her eyes were closed, she allowed the comforting darkness surround her as she slowly feel asleep.
