Day

The rain drizzles outside of Mana's window as she lies on her bed with her hands behind her head in a relaxed manner even though at this moment, she is the exact opposite. Right now she is feeling really worried for Atem and his daughter for they are in danger. If only she had a little bit more time yesterday to warn him. She turns her head toward the window where the sky is dark and cloudy. It is so dark that the street lights are still on and someone could mistake it for still being night.

"I am getting a bad feeling…"

Cairo's head shoots up from its current position and she bangs her head on the top of coffin, causing her to lie back down with a groan as she holds her head. She hates it when that happens and that is one of the downfalls of sleeping inside such a closed space. She reaches a hand up and slides back her coffin slightly to see that it is really dark to her surprise. There is still another seven hours until it gets dark yet it already is. That's when she notices the cloudy sky from the really small window in the wall. They live in a basement of a house that has been abandoned for years. The door of their current location is locked, keeping intruders out.

The rain seems to have stopped for the moment, but it looks like it will come back soon, telling from the rumble of thunder. After looking out the window, she looks to the black coffin next to hers which belongs to her father. He is most likely still resting and she figures that she should go back to sleep too. Just as she closes her coffin and her rests her head back on the soft cushion, she hears a banging noise.

She is pretty sure that that is not the sound of thunder but the sound of someone trying to break in. There is a constant bumping noise coming from upstairs, sending chills down her spine. Is someone trying to break in?

"Dad," she calls from her coffin.

"I know," he says, his strong ears picking up the sound. "Stay calm."

The door bursts open, swinging off its hinges as two men wear black gear and carrying guns comes in, keeping on the alert. On the middle of the floor are two black caskets and they approach it with caution, getting their weapons ready to defend themselves against any vampires that may attack. One man goes to one of the coffins while the other goes to the second, both with their feet on the lids so that they can kick them open and prepare to shoot. The man gives the signal and at the same time, they kick them open, only to find them completely empty.

From above, Atem narrows his crimson eyes before looking over at his daughter who is also up with her back to the ceiling. Once he commences with his plan, she already knows what she has to do although she will do so reluctantly. She watches as his father tackles one to the ground, keeping them both occupied so that she can jump down and escape.

The other man aims his gun carefully at Atem who is in a struggle with the other. The man manages to pin Atem down. Atem glances at the door as his daughter runs out. He knows that he can't fend off against them both by himself, but he only attacked so that it would be a distraction. That way his daughter could get away safely without them knowing.

Cairo shuts her eyes, gritting her teeth as she hears her father's pain filled cry when she leaves the building. It is a good thing that it is cloudy so that the sun's rays will not hit her. Leaving her father has been the hardest thing that she has ever done in her whole life. Not even the difficulty of learning how to fly can compare to this. She picks up the pace as she feels a raindrop on her nose. The last thing she wants is to be caught in a heavy storm, not being able to see or know where is going. Reaching her destination, she climbs up a familiar tree, hoping that a certain someone is there to help.

The rain begins to pour and so Mana finally makes the decision to get out of bed and close it before her floor gets wet. She walks up to the window, placing her hands on it, preparing to close it until she spots Cairo standing on a tree branch.

"Cairo!?"

"Can I come in?"

They both sit on Mana's bed across from each other with their legs crossed. Cairo's head is bowed in sorrow while Mana's is bowed in guilt. If only she had warned him, then he wouldn't have been captured.

"I'm sorry," Mana apologizes, her eyes lifting to hers. "I should've warned him sooner."

"You knew?"

"Yeah and I had planned on telling him but it was too late. And now…" She pauses her sentence before sighing another apology, not knowing what else to say.

"I feel so lost without him. I wish he was here…"

"I know and I promise we will save your father."

"What are they gonna do to all the vampires once they capture them?"

"I'm not sure. But I'm thinking that they may expose them to their weakness."

Cairo's eyes widen in horror. 'No…if I lose my father then…what will I do? I can't live without him.' She jumps up from the bed, clenching her fist. "I gotta save him!" she exclaims before quickly backing up from the window as the sky starts to clear up. Mana gets up as well, shutting the curtains, keeping the light from coming in.

"We're gonna save him alright, but right now, you should be getting your rest," says Mana, taking Cairo's hand and leading her downstairs.

"But do you have something I can sleep in? Perhaps a coffin?" asks Cairo as she is led down more stairs into a basement. Mana smirks, letting go of her hand and heading to a closet that is nearby. She pulls out a long red coffin to Cairo's surprise. "W-Where'd you get that?"

"I just happened to save it from my Halloween party that I threw a year ago. You can sleep in it." The small vampire continues to look at it in amazement and examines it from all sides with her eyes widened. "So what do you think?"
"Remarkable. It's like a real coffin."

"You should get in. You don't want to be present once the sun is out." She nods and gets inside, sitting up.

"Speaking of Halloween, isn't that tomorrow?" asks Cairo.

"Come to think of it yeah. There's bound to be a lot of little kids your age running around in costumes."

"That should be interesting," says Cairo as she lies down and puts the lid over her.

Sorry for a long update. My laptop has been acting funny. I'll probably need to get a new one very soon. Please update!
