Blood Moon
Chapter One
1892-England
Serena looked down at her kneeling guards. Do you have it? She demanded.
Yes, Your Highness. their leader nodded, her long blond hair slipping over her shoulder. We have brought the prey you wished.
Good, Mina. Serena grinned, baring her fangs. Bring him forth.
Yes, Mistress. Mina stood. She turned sharply and walked from the room.
Serena turned to face her blue haired soldier.
Amy looked up at her queen.
How did he act when you captured him? Serena asked, remembering the horrible way he had acted towards her when she was mortal. How he had convinced her that he was sincere in is feelings for her. He had got her with child and then abandoned her on the streets. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, she had been found. Her savior took her in, fed and clothed her and then helped her to give birth to the child. After all that he had done for her, she of course felt indebted.
He was exactly as he had been, M' lady. Amy began He treated Miss. Mina dreadfully, he taunted and provoked her when she had first approached him. And he...
Serena nodded for the girl to continue.
He tried to assault her Madam. Amy finished, If she had not the strength you had bestowed upon us she would certainly have been taken advantage of.
Oh, my. Serena shook her head sadly, So he has learned nothing in the past fifteen years?
Other then a few new tricks? Amy sighed, I'm afraid not.
Oh, then that's to bad. Serena smiled, yes, to bad indeed.
A pale figure came from the shadows. Who is this prey that you speak of?
Serena gestured to her guards to bring a chair for her daughter forward. Please sit Rini. She took her daughters hands.
Yes, Mother. Rini slowly sat in the chair offered by Hotaru, one of her mothers guards and Rini's closest companion. Thank you, Hotaru.
Your welcome, Miss. Rini. Hotaru smiled and her younger friend, her fangs glinted slightly. She had just recently become one of her mothers elite guards, so she had yet to learn how to properly conceal her newly acquired weapons.
Now, Rini, Serena looked into her daughters eyes, I have told you of your father before, haven't I?
Yes, you told me how kindly he had treated you, and how you where in love with him. Rini frowned, Until he started to act cruel, he had found out you where pregnant, so he abandoned you.
That's right, and because of that I was taken in by a creature of the night. Serena smiled down at Rini, He called himself Artemis, and he is the one who turned me into what I now am.
So, is your prey for the night my father? Rini asked softly.
Possibly, if he has any guilt for what he did to me, I will free him. Serena grinned, But if he does not, then I will be forced to eat him.
Rini nodded, May I stay and see what transpires?
Serena released Rini's hands. You may stay, for this may be enlightening.
Just as Serena was leaning back against the cushions the throne room's door was thrown open. Mina shoved a disheveled man forward.
Your Highness, may I present Darien. Mina bowed to Serena.
Thank you Mina, Serena nodded to the captain, Now Darien, you are brought before me on the charge of-
What the hell is going on here! Darien interrupted, fear evident in his eyes.
The Queen is in the process of giving you a trial, m' lord. Rini spoke softly from her corner. Would you kindly not interrupt again?
Who are you? Darien glared accusingly into the shadows where Rini watched patiently. Why did you bring me here? What kind of trial are you talking about?
Serena leaned forward menacingly, Do not speak to my daughter that way. This is a trial to determine your punishment for past misdeeds.
Darien looked around furtively for an escape. What are you talking about? I've never done anything illegal.
One of Serena's guards snarled at him, Maybe not illegal, but definitely immoral.
Serena warned, Please avoid conflict.
Yes, Mistress. Raye nodded, blushing.
Raye? Mina? Is that you Amy, Lita? Darien looked at the group of guards. Two girls nodded. Then.... Serena?
Smart. Isn't he Mother. Rini sniffed contemptuously.
Serena held her finger to her lips,
Yes, Mother. Rini nodded.
Serena? It is you! Darien shouted, What do you think you are doing?
Serena shrugged, Seeing if your the same man you where fifteen years ago.
Well, your crazy. You can't just take someone prisoner like this, Darien yelled.
Serena stared down at Darien, is it all right to abandon someone on the street when they are seven months pregnant? Is it all right to tear them away from there family and friends, promise to care for them for all time and then when you tire of them leave them in the gutter?
W-what are y-you talking about? Darien stuttered.
Serena ignored him and continued, Do you believe that it is all right to treat someone like garbage when you tire of them? To leave them to the darkness? You say it is wrong to take someone prisoner like this. Only that is what you did to me, only when you tired of your games, you left me on the street to die.
Darien cried out, That isn't fair. I-
I know it wasn't fair, Serena interrupted, It wasn't fair that you took me from my home, knowing I had no skills to survive on my own, knowing that without you I wouldn't be able to live.
I never expected you to get pregnant, Darien spat, You expected me to drop everything and take care of a child.
That's what fathers do. Serena stated calmly.
I told you before that I didn't want to be a father, I told you to get rid of it. Darien growled, By the time I left I knew the child couldn't possibly be mine anyway.
Your a fool Darien, Serena sighed, You knew I was in love with you and would have gone to the ends of the Earth for you, but that wasn't good enough for you. I wasn't good enough for you.
Darien glared up at Serena, You where a spoiled brat, you always had Daddy to protect you. You came running to me, you begged me to take you with me. How was I to know that you where going to turn into a full time babysitting job.
So you never loved me? Serena whispered softly.
Why on Earth would I ever love a crybaby child like you. Darien rolled his eyes, I obviously made the right decision, you are completely mad, and you have some how contrived to brain wash your into believing your a queen.
She hasn't brain washed anyone, Rini stepped out from the shadows, Everyone who serves the Queen is her of her own free will. Everyone is given the option to serve the Queen or to live a normal human life. All here have chosen to serve in the glory of the Queen.
You have even got a child working for you? Darien laughed, What, have you been training her as your successor? Someone to follow in your loony footsteps?
I need no successor, crazy or otherwise, Serena gestured to Rini, This is my daughter, she will soon become a princess, if she so chooses, and after that will then create her own kingdom.
You are more delusional then I thought, Darien chuckled, and what kind of kingdom will the princess control? One of fairies and magical ponies?
I, when the time comes and if I chose to follow the will of the Queen, will become the ruler of the Damned. Already being endowed with the power of the Millennia, I, if I so chose to, will become one of the strongest of the night creatures. Rini stepped closer to Darien, her long white dress rustling softly with each step, I will one day become a ruler of the children of the night, I will, If Mother decries it and I accept, will one day become a Vampire.
Darien stood gaping up at the young girl. Is eyes filled with fright as he began to take in his surroundings. It had finally dawned on him why none of the girls appeared to have aged. It all makes since now. He thought looking from face to face. The only one who appears to have aged at all is Hotaru, and she has only grown to be around the same age as the other girls. He began to step back, he looked toward the door. Praying it was unlocked, he made a mad dash for it. He pulled on the door handle, panic controlling him. He felt hands grab his limbs, nails dug into his flesh as he struggled to escape.
Let me go! He tried to pull his arms free. He kicked and struggled to shake off his captors. Get off of me!
Rini stepped away from her mothers throne, she kneeled beside Darien as the guardians held him down.
Darien looked up wide eyed.
I'm sure I forgot to tell you, Rini continued, but today is my fifteenth birthday. I like so many others. She gestured to the women holding him down, am now allowed to make the decision to become, not just me mothers child in life, but also her child in death.
Darien let out a strangled gasp.
Yes, Father, Rini leaned closer to her fathers prone form, After learning the truth from my Mother one year ago, I have thought about this every waking minute. I have analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the situation over and over. I wondered if, when the time came, I would be able to drain the blood of a mortal man. Then, after I had drained every last drop, would I be able to just leave his dyeing, or even dead body just lying there? Until the very moment that you walked in I still wasn't sure if I could do it, but when I heard all of those horrors spew from your mouth. I knew I had to. Not because of the everlasting youth, not for the eternal life, not even for the kingdom I will one day rule, but because I want to be able to protect the world from monsters like you. I want you, and all the others like you to feel the pain you have created for others. To know what it feels like to be cast aside and left for dead. I want you to know how my mother felt, and how all of those other women you victimized felt.
Darien's face was contorted into a silent scream, he stared blankly into the eyes of his daughter. He tried to find a shred of compassion she might hold for him. After searching what he felt was the very depth of her soul and finding none, her turned away in defeat. He knew that in a few moments his life would end, and his daughter was probably going to be the one to take it.
Serena stood up and walked toward the group, Have you decided to follow the dark path? Are you willing to give up the sun to live eternally? Are you ready to leave behind any traces you may have had on the world?
Yes, Mother, Rini nodded, I am prepared to make any sacrifice necessary to rid the world of scum like him.
How could you raise such a horrid creature? Darien screamed, You are letting your own daughter kill. How can you condone this?
She will not kill just to kill, Serena stepped closer to Darien, she will do it to survive and to protect innocents.
Rini turned to her mother, I am ready, please make me one like you.
Serena drew her daughter towards her. Tilting the young girls head back she extended her fangs, piercing Rini's neck she began to drink.
Rini cried out at the sudden pain, then as the pain drifted away a new sensation replaced it. She no longer felt the cold around her, she closed her eyes as she felt herself drifting down. Suddenly the pain returned as her mother withdrew her fangs.
Darien watched in mute horror as Serena slashed her own wrist open with her fangs and held it out to Rini to drink. Rini latched onto the fount and began sucking. Blood dripped down her mouth, spilling onto her pure white gown.
Serena pulled her wrist back, That is enough.
Yes, Mother, Rini wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
Serena led her daughter back to the throne, Some pain will come as your mortal body dies, but that will soon pass as you begin to become more aware of your surroundings.
Rini smiled weakly, I am prepared.
Serena called to her eldest guard, Take Rini back to her rooms. This may become more painful than she realizes it, and I don't want her to feel ashamed after her death occurs.
Yes, My lady, Setsuna carefully led Rini from the room. Come Little Princess, it is time for you to leave your old life behind, and to embrace death and eternity.
Yes, Setsuna, Rini leaned her head against her protectors shoulder, But I am so sleepy, Setsuna.
It is all right, Setsuna said, opening the door and leading Rini from the room, That too will soon pass.
Serena looked down at the squirming form on the ground, Take him back to the dungeons.
Yes, Queen. Mina stood, dragging Darien up with her,
Darien struggled against the girl, but she held firmly, Let go! he bellowed, Get off of me! You can't do this. Stop!
Serena sighed, Tomorrow Rini will take her first life. I am sorry that it will have to be him.
Don't be Serena, Raye stood up, We had searched for other evils in his territory, but he had killed them all, along with his countless innocents.
Lita nodded, He had a flourishing business of selling the dead. He would kill any and all and then sell their bodies to hospitals for experiments.
Amy also stood, And that is not his only offense, he owned many a brothel in which he staffed under aged girls and boys.
It was disgusting, Hotaru spat, He sold these children to people off the street. If someone had enough money... She began to cry.
Michiru leaned over and wrapped her arm around the younger girl. It's all right, we were able to save them, remember?
Not all of them, Mama, Hotaru sniffed, Some had already died, and others he had sold.
Yes, we where too late for them, Michiru hugged her closer, but don't forget, we where able to save hundreds more.
I know, Hotaru mumbled, I just wish we had gotten to them sooner.
Serena leaned down and patted the young girl on the head, I am truly sorry we where not able to save those innocents before it was to late, but those we did save will be safe in my castle. No one will ever harm them again.
Yes, Serena. Hotaru smiled up at the young queen, They will be forever cared for by the Millennium Crystal.
