Chapter 2 – End and Beginning

"Mikan Yukihara! Night has chosen Thee; Thy death will be Thy birth. Night calls to Thee; hearken Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the Alicia House of Night!"

He lifted on long, white finger and pointed at me. As my forehead exploded in pain, Kaede opened her mouth and screamed.

When the bright splotches finally cleared from my eyes I looked up to see Kaede's colorless face staring down at me. As usual, I said the first ridiculous thing that came to my mind.

"Kaede, your eyes are popping out of your head like a fish"

"M-Mikan, how can you crack a joke at a time like this…? Oh, please, no! He Marked you! Oh, Mikan! You have the outline of that thing on your forehead!" Let me guess here comes another round of the K-babble.

"That guy was a Tracker— A Vampyre Tracker! Oh Mikan…" Kaede hesitated, and Kaede never hesitates in the midst of her babbles.

"Kaede—" I approached her but she automatically cringed.

"You're going to that place! You're gonna be one of them! Mikan.. I c-can't…" Kaede bowed her swiftly before sprinting away from me. "I'm sorry, Mikan"

I was not shock. Really. Just disappointed, sad, frustrated, angry and …sick. I'm used to these kind of things. Sixteen years ago, my parents left me in the care of my Grandpa when I was an infant. A year ago, I failed Hotaru as a best friend. Yesterday, I turned down the confession of the most famous boy in our school, Kei. This morning since I woke up, I was feeling hell of a sick. And just now, A Vampyre Tracker, marked me and my ex-friend Kaede run away from me.

Well, I think I need to explain myself on what the heck I'm talking about. You see, today, in this era, everybody knows and is well aware of the monsters we know as Vampyres, not vampires but Vampyres. Humans that Changes into Vampyres.

And that dead guy just now was a Tracker, a vampyre that tracks or finds someone that had been chosen to be a vampyres and marks them by giving them an outline of a crescent moons in there forehead. Well, that is not all. Remember when Hotaru was sick when she was marked and today I'm also sick.

Vampyres are considered as monsters, and when you're marked you only got two choices. Choice number 1: is to turn into a vampyre. Choice number 2: Reject the change and die. Forever.

So the good news is that I wouldn't take Math test tomorrow. And the bad news is, I have to move to Tokyo, to a school that exist there as a Vampyre-finishing school, the Alicia House of Night.

Wow, I'm really taking this quite calmly.

I looked around remembering I was still at school, not seeing, fortunately, anyone. I rushed towards the exit, clearly one destination in mind.

When I arrived at home, I saw Grandpa's letter: I'm on the bluffs collecting flowers.

I giggled softly as I made my way to the bluffs at the back of the house. I was on my way when I noticed everything was awfully quiet, too quiet and then.

Mikan Yukihara… Come to me…

"Grandpa..?" I called out. "Is that you, Grandpa?"

Come to me…

With unknown reasons, I followed the voice.

Mikan Yukihara… Follow me to your destiny…

I wasn't paying attention to my whereabouts up until a big gush of wind came, then I found myself in a void land. This was definitely not our backyard.

I wondered around for a bit and out of sudden instincts I stopped. Then a ghostly mist formed in front of me.

Welcome, Daughter you have done well

"You're not my Grandpa" I stated.

No, Daughter, I am not. But I know your Grandpa very well

"Am I dead?" I asked hesitantly.

No, my daughter I just called your spirit here in this realm

"… Then who are you?"

I am known by many names, Changing women, Gaea, and other names. But you Mikan, my daughter can call me, what your world knows me today, Nyx.

"Nyx, the vampyre goddess…"

In truth, it was the ancient Greeks touched by the change who first worshiped me as the mother they searched for within their endless Night. I have been pleased to call their descendants my children for may ages. And, yes, in your world those children are called vampyres. Accept the name, my daughter, in it you will find your destiny.

I backed away from the mist slowly.

"I-I don't understand. Find my destiny? I just want to find a way to deal with my new life—to make this all okay. I don't think I'm finding my destiny"

Believe in yourself, Mikan Yukihara. I marked you as my own. You will be my first true… Daughter of the Night. You are special. Accept that about yourself, and you will begin to see your destiny.

The ghostly mist in front of me slowly transformed into a beautiful lady, Nyx.

Mikan, daughter of night, I name you my eyes and ears in the world today, a world where good and evil are struggling to find balance.

"But I'm sixteen! I can't even parallel park! How am I supposed to know how to your eyes and ears?"

The goddess smiled at me serenely.

You are old beyond your years, Mikan. Believe in yourself and you will find a way. But, remember, darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good.

Then the goddess Nyx, the ancient personification of Night, leaned forward, and kissed my forehead. And for the final straw that day I passed out.

Just to acknowledged things, in chapters 1 and 2 I got statements/phrases from the book itself. And so I don't own those it belongs to the creators of House of Night Series. And guys, the general start of the story will be patterned still to the said series, but the following chapters after this, will contain twists until it will be far off the House of Night original plot. And so that is why the general summary of this story is different, that's why for those expecting this story to be exact the same as House of Night, its not so please don't expect it to be the exact replica of the series. THE TITLE AND GENERAL IDEA OF THIS STORY CAME FROM THE HOUSE OF NIGHT SERIES but the twist that will be soon add up to the story are the only things that will belong to me and my brain. Hope all of you understand.
