"You're leaving for new accommodation tomorrow" my councillor told me with a slight upturn to her usually cold voice. This is it, I thought to myself. Those who 'left for new accommodation' didn't come back nor were they herd from again. About every seven or eight months a new girl from the orphanage would be called upon to leave. This time it was me. I nodded slightly with my eyes glued to my feet. "Good, now you should start packing your things you leave at half eight tomorrow morning.

You should say goodbye to everyone too" she said again with the same pleased tone. I didn't respond this time, I simply stood and left her office without another word. Say goodbye? To who? I kept to myself, no friends, and no need for them either. I just made my way to my bedroom. I quickly started loading my belongings into my suitcase with slight eagerness. Maybe this new place will be better?

They gave us the bare minimum here. Enough to keep us alive and sane. I turned sixteen three months ago, and what did I get for my birthday? An extra serving of cake at dessert. "Care home my ass" I scoffed as I picked up my remaining possessions. I sighed as I plucked up the photo of me and my mother. I was only a baby in the photo, I can't recall the picture being taken. I can barely remember the woman holding me. She was beautiful, her blue eyes matched mine. "The good die young then huh?" I sighed as I slipped the photo frame into my suit case. My room was now barren. It was comforting in a way. It represented my life, bare, waiting for memories and good things to fill it up.

Well this new place will either be heaven or hell. The memories I made here pollute me, they fill my mind with poison fog that won't seem to lift. This is my chance to get out and smell the fresh air and let my new surroundings clear my mind. As I lay on my bed and closed my eyes I hoped, hoped for better. "Ellis! Come on your leaving today and I don't want you to be late. It leaves a bad impression" one of the orphanage supervisors called through my door. I sat up and yawned. "Well, this is it" I told myself as I got ready. I pulled on some black jeans and a red plaid button up. My mouse blond hair was everywhere so I just pulled it up into a messy bun. I also brushed my teeth and sprayed some of my secret perfume onto my neck. I took one last look at myself in the mirror before grabbing a white hoodie and my suitcase.

I strolled out of the door and towards the front. The front door was already open and a taxi was waiting for me. My councillor looked down at me and grimly smiled. "Well Ellis, I hope you have a good time and a good life" she took my hand and shook it once. A good life? Crazy lady, it's not like I'm dying is it? Is it? Panic washed over me as I sat myself in the taxi and realised; I don't know where I'm going. As the car rolled away from my old home (not that it was very homely) I thought of my darkest nights in that place. The nights when I almost gave up. The nights where ten scars started to accumulate on my wrists. I was clean for a year now. Cutting was pointless. Yeah it made me feel, but my problems were still there. I was alone no parents and no happiness. But destroying myself was not the answer. I'm going to try and become happy again, I told myself as the taxi rolled along the road passing green fields and dark trees.

I set my head against the window as I tried to get some rest before my new life would begin. "Miss we're here" my taxi driver spoke. I didn't fall asleep though I did keep my eyes closed for the entire journey. I opened my car door and stepped out into the crisp morning air. As I looked before me I saw the most beautiful house I'd ever seen.

It was a calm cream colour and had a victorian style to the outside. It was very large and I felt slightly intimidated by the huge building. "Shall I get your things?" My taxi driver asked kindly. "No I got it" I replied as I opened the car boot still staring at my new house. I turned and thanked my driver as I approached the door and pulled the knocker back before letting it hit the White, wooden door. The car behind me pulled away as the deep echo of the knock rang in my head. I was quite nervous, who lived here? Where they good people? And most importantly, would I be happy here?

My thoughts were cut short as the door opened and I caught a glance at the resident of the house. My jaw dropped slightly. He couldn't be more than eighteen years old, and he was extremely handsome. His build was tall and slim but was very masculine. His face and eyes seemed cold and he wore an expression I couldn't read. His hair was strange, black with slightly grey tips. "It's rude to stare, you know" he spoke in a smooth yet strong voice. I jumped slightly "sorry, that was rude of me, I was told I would be living here?" He looked straight into my eyes and the scene became a lot more uncomfortable. "Yes this is your new home, come in" he told me as he opened the door wider for me to step in. I nodded in thanks as I walked into the strangers house. It was just as beautiful on the inside. Full of victorian and historical décor.

"Your name?" The man asked in the same cold tone. "Ellis" I said as I stuck out my hand. He took it and shook as he said "Ruki Mukami" I've never heard a name like that before I thought. It suited him fine though. "Why don't you take a seat, your belongings will be taken to your room, my brothers should introduce themselves as well". Brothers?! More like him?! I sat down on the plush black sofa. Just as I became comfy another boy sat himself down beside me suddenly. "Mmm, your living with us now then?" a blonde energetic boy asked me. "Y-yes" I answered, shaken by his sudden appearance. "Aww you're cute, I love cute girls!" I blushed ten shades of red as he introduced himself. "I'm Kou, nice to meet you" he smiled brightly at me, his blue eyes sparkling.

Before I could introduce myself an extremely tall boy slammed himself into the armchair opposite me and Kou. His brown hair was long and was tied up into a messy bun, strands fell around his deep brown eyes. "Yuma" he stated bluntly in a deep voice. "Yeah that's my little bro Yuma, he's not much of the friendly type" Little bro!? Yuma was huge! "Uh yeah so wha-" my sentence was cut short as the forth brother walked into the room. He was around my height and was slim like his brothers. His hair was messy and a very unusual shade of greenish black. His greyish green eyes looked tiredly at my blue ones. His strangest feature though were the bandages wrapped around his neck and forearms. "Azusa, this is the new girl, what did you say your name was?" Kou questioned.

"Oh, I'm Ellis, nice to meet you all and thank you for having me" I smiled shyly at them all. "It's nice…to have pretty girls…as company…it's very nice to meet you…Ellis…I'm Azusa" the forth brother Azusa spoke in an extremely soft and slow voice. He was very interesting. These four were very unusual, I wonder why I was sent here of all places! "Well I guess you're wondering why you're here yes? Well allow me to explain" Ruki sighed as he stood in front of the sofa me and Kou sat on. "Well you see Ellis, you are our prey". My eyes widened in shock. Prey!? What the hell was he talking about, he must be kidding. "Haha prey, good one, a nice introduction to my new home" I laughed slightly nervous. "We are being serious" Kou spoke in a darker tone that made me think his prior personality was fake. Kou smiled widely at me showing off his bright white teeth. That's when I saw them. A Pair of fangs. Vampires, these guys were vampires. And that meant that I and the girls who left before me were all… I couldn't think straight. "No, I am not your prey!" I yelled as I quickly stood up only for Ruki to push me back down.

Kou held my shoulders with such an extreme force that I couldn't fight against it. "Listen here! You belong to us now, you are our food source. Girls from the orphanage are sent to different vampire families to serve as sacrifices. That means you stay here with us. You allow us to feed on you how and when we want. We won't hesitate to kill you if you refuse. You are only mere livestock now" Ruki spat at me in a disgusted voice. This was too much, it can't be real. It can't be. I screamed inside my head as my mind went blank and I passed out from the shock of it all.
