Scarlett's Pov
I rose from the bed and combed my hair using my fingers. I sat down on the dark blue velvet chair next to the bed. As I sat down, I could see confusion in their eyes. I sighed and started my story
''When we were taken by the doctor, we were used in experiments. The doctor's wife , Odelia was a pure-blooded vampire. He used his wife's blood and injected into the children there,'' I said , trying to sound calm.
''Injrcted?'' Ciel asked. I nodded my head
''Be patient, I will explain,'' I said
Flashback(Scarlett's Pov)
It was every Sunday afternoon. A young boy or girl's voice would be heard from the lab. Their screams were painful to hear and it made my heart stopped . 'What if we were next? I cannot let them take Cece away . We must escape,'' I thought to myself every second and every day.
One by one, the children were taken away until Cece and I were the only one left in the cell. I couldn't remember the number of days since we left home. I lost track of time . seconds seemed like minutes, minutes seemed like hours , hours seemed like days and days seemed like eternity.
Then , that fateful day, they finally took Cece away . I resisted and tried to protect her but they shove me off like a sewer rat.
I could hear Cece's cries and scream then nothing. It was complete silence. Then for a brief moment, I felt scared and my soul felt like it was leaving my body. I sensed something unnatural behind those doors. For once, I felt save to be locked behind these metal bars.
''Finally! Our first achievement! Although she is rather unstable, she is success ,'' The doctor's voice was soft , almost like a whisper. I tried my best to listen carefully.
''Yes! She is our daughter now,'' Odelia's voice was louder but still very soft. After that, no more sound came from those doors. Everything was tranquil.
Cece did not return to me that fateful night, so I was all alone in the room, where the rats were my only friend. Hours later, the doctor came to me and dragged me to the lab.
He placed me on the chair and Odelia tied my wrist to the chairs. The doctor held up a cup filled with something red, like blood but it wasn't. As he forced it down my throat, my insides were burning as if it was on fire. I tried my best not to cry and scream.
''You are a tough one, aren't you?'' Odelia said to me.
She cupped my face with her palm which were as cold as ice. I felt dizzy and the last thing I remember was her smirk.
As I regain conscious , I was lying on a bed and my surrounding was bright. There were many candles and then a familiar face smiled at me. It was Cece. I hugged her tightly and she asked me what was wrong.
''Cece, what did they do to you?'' I asked her . Before she answered me, she looked at me as if she was mortified .
''They injected me with some fluid. After that, all I remembered was drinking something that tasted sweet but smelt faintly of rust. Then when I awoke, I was in this chamber then nothing else,'' She told me softly.
I was speechless. My thoughts was in a blur but one thing that remained on my mind was how she said that blood tasted sweet. My sister was now something I could not believe . She was now a vampire. I pulled her close to me and checked her teeth,it was normal and so were her eyes. She looked perfectly like a human.
The doctor then came to me and pulled me to the same chair I was sitting last time. He then retreated to the place where he once locked Cece and I up.
Odelia was infront of me , and she was wearing a black cloak. She then asked me ,''Do you know how to make a human a vampire?''
I remained silent and stared at her as if she was a freak in a circus .
'' Your sister is the only one that managed to survive that injection . Now my blood flows in her veins and she is a part of me. Even though she looks like a human , she will turn when her vampiric powers demands for a fresh supply of blood. When she turns, she may kill my darling and drink his blood . We can't have that can't we?'' She said in a cold tone.
''What does that have to do with me?''I managed to spat out.
''don't you get cocky with me young lady, if I am not correct, today is your 9th birthday isn't it? The potion I made you drink was an experiment. If you managed to survive that, then you are truly the perfect person to be the one,'' She said
''The one ?'' I asked
''When the moon turns red and the night becomes crimson, then the destined one shall receive greatness,'' She stated
The next thing I knew what that my body felt light and I was floating. Then nothing but pitch darkness enveloped my eyes. When my vision cleared up, Odelia was smiling at me.
''You are now a hybrid. A human with vampiric powers. You can choose to use your powers at any time . You can sustain your powers without any blood , unlike your sister who will turn into a blood seeking monster if she goes without it for a period of time. However, your appearance will change when you use your powers to supress her desire. When she crave for it, you must use your powers to supress it, by sharing your powers with her. But when you do that, your appearance will change and look like vampire . And if you remain that appearance for more than 25 hours, you will not revert back and forever live as a vampire,'' she warned me.
''How long is that period of time before Cece will turn?'' I asked
''Around 32 days. So I advise you that she must drink before then,'' She said
''What will you tell her?''I asked
''Nothing. You shall do it . But remember that my blood flows in her veins now and that means she must obey my command when I am near her,'' She told me.
''As a vampire, can I alter her memory?'' I asked her
''You can even change her memory, you are after all , powerful ,''She said
I went back to where Cece was. She was asleep. Now that I am something else, I thought about escaping but Odelia said that Cece must obey her when she is close so she could make Cece stay behind while I escape. I will not leave my sister behind.
I explained to Cece about what she was now and she started crying . To make her feel better , I said that ,''I am the same as you. They too injected me .''So that she would not feel alone .
A full moon only last about a minute or so, then it becomes a Waning Gibbous. Cece had no knowledge of this . So it was easier to tell her that she turn during a full moon but I never tell her that she would possibly turn into a monster .
I made sure that she would not turn into a maniac who crave for blood . But one day, I was careless. I counted the days wrongly and she went on a rampage in London. Fortunately, she drank the blood of the homeless outside the hospital and I altered the passer-by's memory so that it would not become something that would blow out of proportion.
When Cece was herself again, I altered her memory while singing the song I always sang for her. By altering her memory, she lost some of her past one. Like what was her last name and other stuff. Since that day, I swore to not let her turn into her other self again. I began researching on how to make her human again when everyone was asleep.
Sarah came one day , during the night. At one glance, I could tell that she was not a real girl , but a doll that looks exactly like one. She gave me a letter . The letter was from Ade, a boy who I remembered that was my fiancé .
He told me that he was searching about my whereabouts since I disappeared . He was two years older than me and was considered a child prodigy by all. Inside the letter, he told me to alter everyone's memory about the doll and that he would find a way to let us escape.
I did what I was told and managed to make everyone think that Sarah was a real girl, grasping at the his promise to find a way out of this place. I explained what they did to me and what became of Cece and me in the reply. He always send a rat that really looks as if it was real to fetch the letter to and fro.
He told me that vampires could make a doll into a human during a blue moon and asked me to change Sarah into a human. I did as I was told and Sarah became a real girl. That was the first time I felt such power rushing through my body, but I resisted the urge to use more of my demonic powers.
I would attend practice sessions with Odelia about how to use my so called gift. I taught Cece how to defend herself . 25 full moons later,when I was so close to finding out how to revert Cece back, Ciel , my brother entered the hospital. I could sense it . Ade told me about my family and how the mansion was burned down , then two years later , my brother came back with a pitch black butler through one of his letters.
That was the moment, I was waiting for. That night, I was finally able to leave the horrible place where Odelia was trapped us in.
I was reunited with my family again but leaving Odelia trapped there made me feel uneasy so I returned to the site of the hospital but she escaped and the only thing I managed to salvage was the box where I kept my things.
Flashback ends
I looked at Cece's eyes. They were confused and shocked. I sighed as I began to wait for their response.
That was a very hard chapter to write about. I had to wreck my brains about how to explain it properly!
