Prolog
I was an emotionless child, someone far away, drowning in her own darkness unable to reach the bright color of the world. I was told even at birth I didn't cry. I stared at the thing I needed or wanted until someone brought it to me. I felt it was unnecessary to cry or fuss over things when I can have it with strict dictation.
The first time I ever felt any emotion was at the age of five. There was this little whining brat; I was told she lost her parents in an unsolved murder. My parents felt bad for her, sympathy, something to this day I still don't understand. She was the last descendent of her bloodline. What other way to gain the hearts of all vampire kind then pity an orphan child by taking her in.
I saw the little girl who had midnight hair that flowed into a deep red, crying and sobbing in the corner of the guest room we had made for her. Seeing her cry was something new that I couldn't understand. I started laughing uncontrollably and after regaining my breath I walked up to her and held out my hand.
"Crying shows others that you're weak and vampires are not weak." She smiled at me and we ended up becoming friends. She was someone I could count on when I was going through one of my drowning-in-the-deep moments, and someone I sometimes used as a punching bag. I needed her to survive and I hated her every time I found myself admitting it.
My parents noticed that the girl was helping me with my emotionless detachment and decided to go another step forward. My parents were afraid that because I was so emotionless towards vampires that I would kill a human without a second thought and they were probleably right to worry.
Around the age of 10 Kage and I was adopted by a human family. By living with this family I was introduced to new emotions, anger was definitely one of them. I couldn't truly understand how to act around these people they weren't my parents but I was expected to act as if they were. Kage jumped right in to the idea of having a family again not really caring about how it could change who we truly were. I knew in my heart there was no way I could act like I was human I was a VAMPIRE and I would constantly remind everyone in the house of that little fact.
Later on I realized trying to rebel was really going against what I believed in. I stopped and watched everyone in the house from Kage, "Mother", "Father" and the tree people who were suppose to be my "Siblings" and mimicked their emotions for certain situations. I ended up living the rest of my life in this façade, but still making sure nothing changed how I really felt which was nothing. In my teen years my human "Parents" decided it was time for me and Kage to go to school. They said it was something called a 'Boarding School' and that we'll be living and learning at the place. The day came where they had to drop us off for school, my 'Mother' kissed us goodbye half crying half smiling and 'Father' hugged us and rubbed our hair which I pretended to love and said his goodbyes. I looked over at Kage and said "Are you ready for this?" Acting as if I was excited but nervous. She looked at me with a big smile and said "Saiko, our life at Cross academy will be to die for!" My thoughts exactly.
