Poisoned Blood

A love story nobody could forget.

Prologue

A long time ago, in a castle far in the depths of the Under World, was a small girl…

"Father, what kind of flower is that?" A young girl with pink-bubble gum hair asked.

"It's a very special flower. I'm keeping it safe for you. It's going to protect you. Without this flower, we would all be dead." He replied, showing the small girl a beautiful white flower. It had small black dots on the ends of the petals, and in the center of it, it glowed.

"Can I hold it, Father?"

"No, my dear, you can't. I have to put it away."

"But –"

"No buts, you see, this flower can only be out of its vase for so long." Her Father, the King, said smiling down at his daughter. She looked so much like her mother, except the eyes. She had her father's eyes.

"Okay."

"How about I read you your favourite bedtime story?" He suggested and picked up the small girl. They walked out of his study to meet his wife, the Queen, with a smiling face. She walked over and took their daughter into her arms.

"Mommy, daddy showed me a special flower. It glowed!" Her mother hugged her and looked up at her husband.

"Is that so?" she replied.

The man chuckled and nodded. They walked down to the small girl's bedroom and put her in bed. The King sat down on the end of her bed and opened her favourite fairytale, and began reading. They were half way through when the girl fell asleep. The King and Queen kissed her forehead and walked out of the room.

"She really is like you, isn't she?" The Queen said, looking behind her at her daughter's door. The King followed her gaze and chuckled.

"And to think, I always thought she was like you." He said, hand in hand with his Queen walking down the hall.

They were almost to their room when a big crash sounded behind them, they looked at each other, and then it hit them. Before they knew they were running as fast as they could to their daughter's room. They bashed the door down to see two figures in her room.

One was tall and had long black hair; it was tied into a ponytail. He had a sword in his hand looking up at the King and Queen. He had the red eyes and long fangs. The other was smaller, with spiked black hair. They looked almost the same. Red eyes and long fangs, but the smaller one was younger. Much younger.

The King pulled off his cape and transformed. He wouldn't let them hurt his family without a fight! He grew fangs and his nails grew longer and sharper. His green eyes glowed. The Queen transformed as well and hissed at the two figures.

"Hn." Said the taller man and swung his sword. He looked at his smaller kin and nodded. The younger one understood and ran to the young girl's bed.

The girl was terrified at the two strange figures and her parents. She had never seen her parents like this before. The smaller boy ran over to her and she jumped. She landed by a door that lead to her bathroom. She ran in and slammed the door shut. The boy wasn't playing games. He broke a hole through the door and the girl screamed. She could see her parents fighting with the other strange man. The boy was inside of the bathroom and she stared at his face. It was pale and his eyes were red. He looked like he was her age. She looked around the bathroom for anything to protect herself with. She grabbed her towel rack and swung. The towel rack slammed into the boy's head and he fell. She ran to the door leading to the hallway.

"I gotta get out of here… Wait! Daddy's study!" she said almost breathless from running. She could hear the battle going about behind her, and she didn't dare look back. She made it to the study and ran to hide under her father's desk. She heard footsteps and saw her mother's feet.

"Mommy!" The young girl exclaimed and looked out from the desk.

"Honey, stay where you're at, and grab the flower!" She yelled back to her daughter. She had tears in her eyes, the small girl saw. Her mother ran over to her and stood in front of her.

"I will not let you die, my precious daughter, I won't let you die!" There was blood on her hand and dress. The small girl closed her eyes tight and she heard a scream. She opened them to see her mother on the ground. She was bleeding all over and she grabbed her daughter's hand. The small girl was in so much shock, she couldn't hear what her mother was saying.

"My precious, daughter… May you be happy in the Human World… - May they have mercy on you, my precious, Sakura… My Precious…" And with her last breath, she sent her to the Human World.
