Note:For this chapter I HIGHLY recommend you listen to the song 'Give Unto Me' by Evanescence during the time it is mentioned so you can get the feel of this chapter. I don't own the song,obviously. Also if this chapter confuses you its okay it will be explained later.
P.S:This chapter is short for a reason

"Sometimes sound overpowers sight"~Tsuki
Normal P.O.V
It was dusk and the orange area in the sky lingered a while longer before welcoming the darker colors that make up the nighttime sky. In the vampire castle Fiona and her beloved children, more often than not referred as 'her darlings', were on the 4th floor of the castle which has Fiona's music room. Ever since she was born Fiona has always had the gift of music. She is incredibly musically inclined and can play any instrument even the instruments from different cultures such as the traditional Japanese koto instrument, Spanish guitar, Alpenhorns from the Alps and many more. Out of all the instruments in the world her top three favorites are:harps, pipe organs, and cellos.
"How was practice,sweetie?" the Vampire Queen asked her blonde son.
"It was good I learned how to come down after making a slam dunk!" Raiden said with a smile. It was odd that he can slam dunk well but not come down without assistance.
"We almost had to call the fire department" Satoshi said.
"I think you're over exaggerating" Yuichi said.
"Yeah we had to call the janitor" Takeshi corrected.
"Is that even in the janitor's job description?" Tsuki asked.
"I'm glad your new school is working for you" Fiona said cracking her knuckles while sitting in front of a piano.
More often than not Tsuki,Raiden, Satoshi, Yuichi, and Takeshi liked to hear Fiona play an instrument and sing to them. Even though they are to old for their mother to be singing them lullabies, Fiona does it regardless since she loves to sing to people,especially to her children or husband.
"Okay kids settle down I'm going to play now" Fiona said happily.
"Oi, why did we agree to this?" Takeshi whispered.
"Because no one can say no to Ka-san" Yuichi answered picking lint from his pajama bottoms.
On Fiona's piano there is nothing more than a single candle that is lit. Fiona had weird traditions one of them is playing the piano in front of a candle. Her children thought her traditions were cool rather than weird, more like a cool-weird so to speak. The five royals sat quiet and listened to of the Vampire Queen's infamous haunting lullabies.
Pale fingers pressed the white and black keys and produced the eerie introduction to the song.
While the song is being sung in Japan other events are happening in Romania.
[Fiona]
I've been watching you from a distance
The distance sees through your disguise
A man wearing a long navy blue jacket, black shirt, and olive green jeans was wiping of the dirt and used a shovel to refill the hole with dirt. When he finished he made sure to get rid of shovel before walking around the vampire Romanian Cemetery,looking for certain tombstones.
All I want from you is your hurting
I want to heal you
I want to save you from the dark
The man can sense they,too, were alive once more but due to their brutal death they were in pain crossing the world of the living once more. Little did the ex-deceased know that he,their savior, is coming for them. So that they can roam the New World together.
Give unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison
He found it. The first grave of one of his comrades. With his eyes,now glowing, a certain coming from light deep within the ground shun as if responding to his eyes. A deadly exchange is in progress. With this new strength the sound of the destruction of wood heard and the dirt erupted upwards. Someone was resurfacing.
Why should I care if they hurt you?
Somehow it matters more to me
Than if I were hurting myself
It turns out this 'someone' is a woman. Her skin pale and her hair curly and black as night. She looked at her dirty palms in bewilderment and looked up at the man responsible. He simply smirked at her.
Save you (save you)
I'll save you
He held out his hand for her and,after looking around at the familiar environment, she took it. He helped her up and the two of them, not needing to exchange words, proceeded with their task.
[Tsuki]
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
(Fear not the flame of my love's candle)
[Fiona]
Give unto me your troubles
Searching for the graves they are familiar with, the man was able to make his exchange with two other people. Four hands clawed the surface desperately and pulled their bodies upward.
[Tsuki]
(Let it be the sun in your world of darkness)
[Fiona]
I'll endure your suffering
[Tsuki]
(Give unto me all that frightens you)
[Fiona]
Place unto me your burden
The new comers, both male, stood up and shook the dirt off. They looked at the man and woman in front of them and their eyes widen. The woman had her arms crossed but a small smile on her face. The man motioned for them the follow him. They had much more to do.
[Tsuki]
(I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly)
[Fiona]
I'll drink your deadly poison
Soon enough they were around six of them,but six wasn't enough. The man was only going to do his 'exchange' with the ones who he thinks are the strongest. With his inhumane hearing he heard a gate open. He had to work quicker so that he won't get caught.
Back in Japan, Fiona was doing the piano solo of the song, The atmosphere of the room became just as eerie as the song itself. Fiona's normal singing voice is best described as:'Hauntingly Beautiful' and soothing as well. Since two different parts of the verse are being sung at the same Tsuki sang the other part in an eerie sweet tone. (A/N:Again listen to the song so you'll know what I'm talking about). The flame on the candle,that is in front of Fiona as she plays, is swaying delicately left and right.
In Romania,the ex-deceased group kept searched for more of their own. After finding the eighth tombstone that concealed his comrade he repeated the progress with his glowing eyes. After the sound of breaking wood the dirt moved around in a wild fashion with caused the man to step back a little. From the dirt a man came out of the ground but he had a deranged look in his eyes.
[Tsuki]
(Fear not the flame of my love's candle)
[Fiona]
Give unto to me your troubles
[Tsuki]
(Let it be the sun in your world of darkness)
[Fiona]
I'll endure your suffering
With more of this mysterious group walking the earth again finding the other tombstones it became easier. Soon there was ten of them,including the man with the navy jacket himself. One of the other women who the man made the 'exchange' with looked at her savior. The man thought for a while and held up two fingers,indicating there were two more who they need to find.
[Tsuki]
(Give unto me all that frightens you)
[Fiona]
Place unto me your burden
[Tsuki]
(I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly)
[Fiona]
I'll drink your deadly poison
One of the men who is fresh out his graves called his comrades for the group the two people who they need to are buried next to each other. The man's eyes glowed once more and the dirt in front of their tombstones began to shift.
As Fiona played more piano instrumental and the atmosphere still had this ominous feel to it. None of the princes dare made a sound to ruin. The song has them somewhat entranced almost as if there was something deeper going on between the lyrics. Even if there was none of them would know. They are in Japan listening to their mother's lullaby. Yuichi watched the flame of the candle from time to time,it was still swaying and the piano music is slower. The song is coming to an end.
The twelve,seven men and five women, all looked at each other understanding their purpose from centuries ago. Only one thing brings these twelve together. They all bear the same mark. Each one on them has the same mark in different places and in different colors. Their mark is a skull with fangs and tattered bat wings on each side of it. The man who started this was staring at all of them, taking a second to getting used to seeing his fellow members once again. Truly its been so long.
[Fiona]
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
The twelve of them left the Romanian cemetery and went to their old headquarters. They have been forgotten by the supernatural world and they are also strangers to what the world have became in their absence. After all those centuries their intentions are the same and there is still one thing they need.
Power.
They would do anything for it and annihilate anyone who dares try to prevent them from having it without any hesitation. They were smart however and planned for their afterlife. In their headquarters lies the knowledge of how to harness this power,but in order to do so they need two things.
Blood and minions.
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
With the last few notes Fiona ended the song and the flame on the candle stood perfectly still. The five royal exhaled in unison and the atomsphere slowly got back to normal.
"That was..." Raiden started.
"Interesting..." Yuichi said trying a word.
"It was like I felt something..." Takeshi said.
"Us too" his siblings replied.
"I did too" Fiona said turning around "But we are talking about two different feelings."
"I liked the song Ka-san" Tsuki said.
"Alright kids you have school tomorrow and its 3 am go to bed"
"Its three am!?"
"We won't get any sleep!" Satoshi said.
"Its almost the weekend you can sleep late then" Fiona said blowing the candle out. The smoke streamed upward towards the ceiling in a swirly pattern Fiona was very fond of.
"Eh we're vampires we don't need the required 8 hours of sleep" Yuichi said waving it off.
"Off to bed my darlings" Fiona said and her children left the room and stretched, ready for bed. The Vampire Queen watched the smoke from the candle a little while longer before going to the lower levels to get some sleep as well. The royals slept differently that night. Instead of any ordinary sleeping position they slept with their hands across their chests, as if they were in a sarcophagus. While mortal children have a phase of sucking their thumb vampire children have phases of sleeping as if they were mummies. In this case however it is merely because of the fact that they,subconsciously, felt something alter.
Something dangerous.
That's All Folks!
