Prelude- Beginnings
-Shido's POV-

I just escaped Cain's castle. I admit it was tough and a part of me thinks that it would have been better if I had just stayed where I was, but that cannot be anymore. I stopped loving Cain once my sister jumped off the church tower after being revived as a vampire by me.

After being turned because of Cain we had both gone into a feeding frenzy. We attacked everyone within our reach and hunted down those who dared to run. None escaped our fangs. After returning from our feeding we proceeded to take our prisoners back to the master bedroom we shared. There we continued to explore the unimaginable ecstasy from the warm blood trickling down our throats. We made love atop a bed scattered with corpses and sheets soaked with blood.

The blood itself was invigorating and provided us with much stamina and energy. I remember Cain's hot hands as they explored all over my body. He touched all my erogenous zones, making me moan loudly with deep pleasure, one intensified by the human blood in my veins that I had claimed earlier. Cain knew what to do and where to do it on my body to make me shiver with repressed pleasure and where to make me cry out for more.

I used to love his touches. Used to crave his deep kisses and sweet voice. His hands roaming over my body as he whispered sweet words into my ear.

Even now just thinking about all the times we shared together, his hot skin pressed up against mine and his lips kissing my body, makes me so aroused. I could never truly escape him. He is my Master Vampire. The one who made me what I am; he is the father of my rebirth into the night and his hands will always reach me. That doesn't mean that I can't try to run and escape his clutches.

These feelings of days past make me love him once again, despite the sins he made me commit, but those feelings are slowly dwindling. He is the one who turned me into a vampire. He's the one who made me stain my hands with blood; made me crave the sweet, crimson liquid. Those facts overwhelm my body's need for his touch and love and so I take my leave of him.

Now as I walk my way westward, away from his towering and looming castle, my feet hit the dirt path lightly. I know that it is simply an extra precaution, and unnessary one at that, but I can't help but be extra careful with my steps. Cain is a powerful vampire and I don't even know the true extent of his powers, so I cannot step so hard on the ground lest he hear my foot falls.

I follow the moon onto a new life for myself. One away from Cain and on to forge new memories of eternity by myself. I had no real possessions with me; everything I carried was something that I received from Cain. I had managed to steal way a cloak and a blanket, plus the clothes on my back, but that's all I carried. The only thing else would be the black, silk ribbon that was holding my hair in a soft ponytail. My lavender-silver hair moved slightly in the wind. This ribbon was something special. Something, now that I thought about it, I should have left behind.

It was a love-gift from Cain. It was the first thing he presented me with once I became a vampire and I had cherished it ever since that day long ago. I should just yank the ribbon from my hair and throw it to the dirt ground, but I somehow cannot bring myself to do it.

It will forever be a tie between Cain and myself, something I should wish to rid of, but I can't; it's a part of who I am and it lets me cling slightly to the only memory I have of myself. All my other memories lie with Cain.

A/N: This is just a story that I happened to have in my head for a long time and finally got around to typing it out. This will defiantly not be updated regularly and is mainly being posted for my own amusement. I have two more chapters written out already, but I'm mostly making this up as I go along. Despite that, I hope people still read and like this. Thanks.
