*Senri pov*
It has been about more than years now I have stayed captive in this mansion, there was only few people I saw walking around well the rest…was rumor to be kill by my father. My father name is Rido Kuran. Well I'm Senri, his only son but he didn't think of me like that, ever since I was born I keep hearing people telling me to act like puppet. I do as I told but is it worth it? I never cry ever since I was born I keep having more and more bruise just for small mistake. Nobody ever smile at me and never even take a look at me.
What is it like to be love? I wonder…..
Even though I'm a vampire, I somehow can't stand smelling the blood, seeing my father kill new victim everyday and I have to clean up his mess. I keep feeling guilt for those entire victim who's being fool by my father, they always attracted to my father to even follow him home. They're been control, I want to help them but my father will be angry. He will kill me if I ever think of helping his food get away. I'm thinking, if they really his food then why every time my father had eat them he always want my blood after that. It doesn't make sense.
To tell you all the truth, I always wish to run away from here. Somewhere far away where they nobody can't ever find me. It's all just a dream but I really wish it became reality. Even so, what happen if I leave, I'm the only family my father have. Will he be happy if I'm gone? Maybe somewhere in his heart he still loves me as a son. Just…. Maybe…..
I always follow my father wherever he goes, never once in my life I leave his side. I wonder if he appreciates my effort, I knew he didn't care if I am at his side but it's my job to show it to him. So one day he will call me son instead of the word 'Puppet'.
Then one day as I was cleaning the dead body once again, the old man suddenly came in without knocking which I thought was rude but surprise not to see my father not killing him. I overheard their conversation since I had nothing better to do. Then I heard they say Kaname was dead. i knew that Kaname was leader of the Kuran clan so if he's dead then doesn't that means father will get back what is rightfully his.
Then my father slap me hard at the face, I just smile for the first time in my life.
Because of it I got a painful red mark at my face. Why the hell did I just do? Now my father will hate me more. As the old man was leaving I quickly decide to follow him, I don't want to get into any more trouble but my father stop me from walking out by pulling me. I face him and sees his eyes immediately I knew that something bad was about to happen. I beg him to let me go but he pushes me to the bed. He began to strip me, I try to push him, but his body was press at mine.
Knowing what will happen, I cry. I cry so hard that I can't see well at the surrounding, the tears are blurring my vision but not enough for me to still see my father face. The way he did it to me, it's hurting me.
"Please stop…." I cry.
He ignore my cry and continue to keep hurting me, I feel like killing myself. Then I heard his voice.
"Goodnight Senri."
It was a shock, for the first time in my life he calls me by my name. What does it means? After all those years why now? What is my father planning?
As I open my eyes again, it's already morning, my father was not on sight. He's gone so I try to sit up; my whole body was hurting so I do it slowly as I can. I pick up my clothes and put it on. I can spot some blood dripping and look away. It was disgusting for me to look at it especially when I was filthy.
I can't stay here any longer; he might do again at me. There's no way I ever want to feel it again, I might better die. This is enough prove that my father will never thought me as his son. I open the door, slowly I walk in the hallway, I was lucky since everyone was sleeping in the morning. Even though nothing will happen to us even if the sunlight touches us we prefer waking up at night. Carefully I walk and lean at the wall to rest for a while and continue to walk again.
Finally I have reaches the front door of the mansion, this will be the first time in my life I step out from here and finally gain freedom.
I adjust myself with the light, and the scene. It was beautiful, after this whole year I haven't seen something this pretty. Ignoring the pain I run outside, I want to see more of this. I ran deeper and deeper to the outside world far away from my father. I was smiling, I smile so wide. I can't ever show my expression there but here, I can do anything I want. I climb the tree to watch from above, I can even pat some of the animals that I always want to touch.
I was too happy until I had forgotten how many times pass had. As I keep walking I spotted a big pond, I walk close to it and saw my reflection inside. I put my hand inside the water feeling its coldness. As I was busy playing with the water suddenly I can see another reflection. I bother to turn around since I can see he's full face in the water now.
The teenage boy is smiling at him, I blush to see him. I never meet someone who's about my age before. This is something new. He's hair is blond, he had bright green eyes and is tall and lean built. He can be describing quite attractive.
"Who are you?" I ask as I finally look face to face. I was amaze to see him more attractive than his reflection.
My heart was beating wildly, I never felt like this before, he reach out his hand. I look at it wonder what he wants.
"I'm Takuma Ichijo. Please come with me."
I don't know what to say so I take his hand. He pull me toward him and he wrap his arms around me. I can't think of a word to say in this situation, I don't know what this feelings like.
"What's your name?"
Shyly I answer.
"I'm Senri…."
He smiles once again, he begin to take me to a walk. I follow him, he's very cheerful. He showed me everything about the outside world and then he take me to the cities. I don't know this place exist, where many people from different age and size. I was so shock to see this place, Takuma laugh to see my reaction.
"I guess you new to this kind of thing."
He show me more and tell me everything about it, what they sell, things people do here and after years of living I just knew what sushi is. It's actually a type of seafood on a rice and I happen to love a type of food call wasabi. He laughs seeing me eating the green stuff.
"You're really unique." He says.
I don't know what he meant by that but I feel like spending more and more time with him. Even if we just met I want to know him better.
"Senri, do you want to go to school with me?"
'School?' I say confusedly. "What's that?"
Takuma place his hand at my shoulder looking at me sympathy.
"It's a place of education, where we can make friends. There also lot's of activities there."
I nodded knowing what the school actually is.
"I will show you more of this place call school. Don't worry I'm sure you will love it."
"Okay."
He takes me there, I don't know if I should follow strangers but something tells me to just do it. It was taking so long to get there even though the taxi driver drive as fast as he can.
"Takuma…. Can I ask you a question?"
"What is it Senri?" He smiles as he let me place my head at his shoulder.
"What are you doing at the forest?"
He didn't say anything, there was a long silent even I can see the taxi driver was nervous because of it. As if he knew something.
"We're here." Takuma said.
He pulls me out and the driver quickly drove away as fast as he can. I was even more confuse, what's going on here? Why the driver is afraid, is it because it's me or Takuma. I look at the front seeing the big gate, we enter. Takuma still hasn't let go of my hand as if he doesn't want me to escape.
He took me to an old building, I was getting scare.
"Takuma….where are you taking me?"
He didn't answer.
"Takuma!" I shouted.
He suddenly stop walking, there was someone surrounding us. I pull my hand away from Takuma, I have to run. I have to get out from here.
"I won't hurt you Senri, there's a reason I bring you here."
All of them take off their clock, show their faces. I knew that face; it was the face of a vampire. I was shaking and trembling thinking that running away from my father wasn't actually a good idea and follows a stranger somewhere he doesn't knew.
"Takuma…I want to go home."
He stare at me, I want to see him smiling like we first met but he didn't. he's showing a very serious face and serious tone.
"Senri, from now on you will be our new leader."
He bows.
"We want to revenge on those vampire hunters for killing our previous leader. Lead us to victory Senri. Since you're had the Kuran blood inside of you."
Everyone bow down and start shouting.
"ALL HAIL SENRI SAMA!"
I was speechless. I doesn't know what to say about this and why do they want me to be a leader. Isn't my father was the one who suppose to be a leader, why me.
"Takuma, what is the meaning of this."
Suddenly a beautiful women walk toward him.
"Is this guy seriously going to be our leader? Can he actually avenge Kaname sama death?" She shouted with feelings of anger. Inside I can see she's full of sadness.
"He had the same blood as Kaname, so it shouldn't be wrong for him to be our next leader. Also…." He turns to face at me. "Isn't it normal to kill people who kill your family that is also share the same blood?"
I gulp.
"Senri! Tell me can you really lead us better than Kaname sama."
"Ruka!" Takuma shouted at her. "Don't be rude!"
I want to get away from here, then where should I go. My father will kill me, so doesn't that means this is the only place I can be protect. If I stay here them my father can't step a step inside, I had all these people to protect me. I have to do it, even though I knew that Kaname is not guarantee is dead.
"Where should I start?" I ask.
They both look at me, I can see they both are shock.
"Where should I start?" I ask again and this time a little louder so they both can hear me clearly.
"You accept?" Takuma aks.
"Yes, I will do everything in my power to avenge my cousin death. I swear by the name of the Kuran bloodline."
Everyone was cheering to hear my announcement. I don't know if they're happy for me to be their leader or for them to finally avenge Kaname. I don't care any of those; this is the only way for me to be free. I don't want to become a puppet for my father again. This is my decision.
