Third Person POV

One step. And then another one. A young girl with long brown hair and greenish blue eyes wearing only her striped pajama and sandals walks through the forest. She can't remember who she is, where she's from or what she's doing there. The only thing she knows is that she must not go back to where she came from.

Suddenly a young man, with messy black hair and pitch black eyes, walks to her. She stops walking and looks at the person in front of her. The man is wearing a wide long-sleeved white shirt and a pair of jeans. He looked quite strange. His back is arched to almost 45 degree, he has large bags under his eyes and his hands are in his pockets. It didn't seem like he's cold, even though he wasn't wearing shoes or socks and is walking in a thick layer of snow.

The man continues to walk till he's right in front of her. Although she's quite tall for her age, the man in front of her is taller. She lifts her head and stares right into his black eyes. She didn't flinch when he stared back. After a while, he starts to speak. "Good evening, Miss Yoshino. I assume you know your parents were murdered yesterday evening at 8 p.m.?" The girl didn't reply and just stared at him. After a while he continues. "The murderer broke into your house through the window. Your father died first when he tried to protect you and your mother. She was found in the garden with a bag in her hand." He paused a few seconds and continued to talk. "We don't know how they died but the mysterious thing is that both of them have 2 small holes in their neck and no blood in their body. Also, around them there are heaps of ash and pieces clothes."

Then it hit her. Vampires. Those filthy monsters killed her parents. Her parents were the strongest hunters of England. Of all people in the world, it's impossible for them to be killed. Slowly, she remembered everything. Yesterday, when her parents came back, they woke her up and told her to pack her belongings as fast as possible. She even didn't have time to change her clothes. When she was done, she heard the sound of glass breaking and gunshots. She realized what's happening when she heard her father yell to her mother that she should try to escape with her. She immediately grabbed her anti-vampire weapons, her rod and her dagger, and waited till her mother came in. She heard more gunshots and her mother running up the stairs and slamming her door open. "Arisa, quick, come here. We're going!" She ran to her mother while putting the dagger in its sheath and closed the door behind her. Looking down the stairway she saw a group of about 20 Level E's fighting her father and about 10 heaps of ashes. Her father turned around to kill the vampires behind him and looked in her eyes. She could see the fear and love in it, it's like he was trying to say that she should try to hide and that she might not see him ever again. She felt tears welling up but fought them back and nodded at her father. She turned around and ran into the backyard with her mother, who was waiting at the door, killing a few vampires near her. Once at the fence, the vampires inside stormed out and attacked her mother. She realized her father must be death, which is the reason why they all came out. She heard her mother tell her to run and not to turn back till it's safe. She nodded, knowing her mother will never let her stay. But she didn't want to go unless she knew that someone knows what is happening, so she put her bag down, she picked up a rather big pebble and threw it with all her strength through the window of her neighbor's house. She waited until saw a light turn on, heard the door smack open and saw the angry neighbor's face. When he saw the Level E's fighting her mother, his expression turn into a frightened one. She shouted that he must call the police so he ran inside and grabbed his phone. Seeing that, she knew she could go and ran out of the gate, into the big running for a while she heard a scream coming from behind and knew it was from her mother. She knew they might come after her, so she didn't stop running. After a long time she couldn't run further. Her feet were sore, she was panting heavily and she was cold. She stopped to take a break. She looked back and estimated that she ran about 3 miles. But she could feel the Level E's coming to her direction. She was scared. She didn't want to die and especially not killed by a vampire. So she slowly walked further, till she's found. Found by the young man in front of her. She's glad she's found but how did she forget this all?"

"…shino? Miss Yoshino, are you listening?" Arisa looks at the man and nods. I can't feel them anymore. They must be gone… Then she notices that her hands were unconsciously clenched into a fist, so she relaxed them while listening. "I was asking if you have any relatives living near." "No.", she whispered to him. "The only family a have left is an uncle who lives in Japan." Arisa looks at the man's face but sees no emotion. While in his eyes, she could see a tiny bit of relief now. "Do you know his name?" This time Arisa speaks up. "Yes, his name is Toga Yagari or Yagari Toga in Japan…" "Do you know where he lives is Japan?" She shakes her head and answers. "I don't know where uncle Toga lives, but mother always told me to contact Kaien Cross if something happens." "Who's this Kaien Cross actually? And do you know where he lives." Arisa thinks a few seconds and answers. "Well, Mr. Cross is a good friend of mother and uncle. I remember that he used to come every summer vacation and brought his adoptive daughter with him. He told me once, that if I want to study in Japan, I could live with them. If my memory serves me right, he's the headmaster of Cross Academy." The man puts his thumb in his mouth and bites it softly. "Well, I guess I could find his address and send you there…"

Arisa thinks a about the things her mother told about uncle Toga and shudders. Then she looks at the man's eyes and answers. "I don't think that I can face my uncle now. I-I couldn't even protect my parents when they needed me. Why did my parents save me? Why didn't they let me help them? Now, all those years of training are wasted. They didn't even let me try…" She couldn't hold back the tear anymore so she let them go. "Why, why didn't I help my father before he was killed. I was prepared to fight, I should have protected mother. Even if they're good at fighting, they are only humans."

"Miss Yoshino, what do you mean you had training?" Arisa looks at the eyes of the man and sees a tiny bit of curiosity. She didn't want to tell but she had the feeling it wouldn't be good to hide something from this boy so she answers. "My parents were very skilled in many things. They would teach me everything they knew. One of them is fighting. In the beginning my mother would use branches of trees to teach me how to defend myself. After a while, mother thought I should get used to using swords, daggers and rods so she asked Mr. Cross to send us a few of his. We'd train every day until she thought it's enough. A few weeks before my 6th birthday, my mother blindfolded me and said I had to prepare myself. At that time, we again used branches because it's too dangerous to use swords. We trained but I couldn't win from her, till the day from my birthday." She paused a bit and continued. "Then my father would continue and train me with the gun. He would bring me to a shooting ranch and let me shoot till I could shot each part he asks. Each time, we went there, he would put the targets 32 feet further. Two weeks after the first time I went to the shooting ranch, my father took me to the garden from the ranch and said that we would practice shooting on moving targets. He used a catapult to lance a wooden board with a black marking on it in the air and ordered me to shoot it precisely on the mark. In the beginning it was very hard to even shoot the board. But after a while I could shoot every one of them out of the air. So they continued with other things

The man, still biting his thumb, thinks a while and answers. "If you don't want to go to Japan, I could put you in an orphanage. But before that, could you fill in a few forms?" Arisa then notice that the glint of curiosity is replaced by indifference. "Sure." The man takes one of his hands out of his pocket; inside it was a mobile phone. He dialed a few numbers and waited. Arisa looks at the ways he holds his phone and can't say anything but that it is weird; he only use his thumb and index finger to hold the sides of it. "Watari, please prepare a form for the girl. We're coming out now." The boy hangs up and put it back in his pocket. "Now, shall we go?" "Sure."
