It's been eight years since the massacre and I have continued to be punished and trained by the strangers who had taken me away. They were as bad as they were perceived. They fed me scraps of food that their group had not wanted such as stale bread, raw meat, and dry vegetables. As for water, my body had no need for it. At least that is what they had told me. But as much as I hated these people for hurting me and giving me painful "precautions" I couldn't help but appreciate that they kept me here.
"Lilith," that was my name, the one that I must answer to "we are going to let you out now for your safety precautions."
Hope filled my heart that this time I might be able to see the one person who was nice to me. The doctor that gave me shots every few days reminded me so much of my Namna. He had the same eyes, brown, and the same hair, black. His voice was as soothing as Namna's but his smell was way off. Namna smelt like rice and honey while Tsuyomi, my doctor, smelt like chemicals and smoke. It wasn't the best smell but I could live with it for a while as long as I got to see Tsuyomi.
The doors in front of me to reveal a man with dull green eyes and straight black hair. His cheek bones were very prominent and a five centimeter scar ran across his jaw line.
Kito.
"Get. Up."
I scrambled to my feet, walking quickly to be controlled my his strong hold. I was used this. Kito was a very strong man, and you didn't argue with him unless you wanted to commit suicide. It was a literal death wish to mess with someone like him. He killed without a second thought. He was the man who killed my Namna.
We walked under the swinging lights in the hallway, that bathed an eerie glow on the gaunt corridor. One… Five.. Eight….Thirteen.
At the thirteenth light I let Kito turn me around and force me into the chemically imbalanced room. Tsuyomi smiled as Kito let me go and gestured to the metal table that was perched under a brilliant violet light. I stumbled forwards from Kito's violent push, crossing paths with Tsuyomi and laid across the cool familiar place.
"You may leave now, Kito." A grunt, footsteps, and a door slam were soon heard after.
"How are you, Lilith?"
"I am okay Tsuyomi-sama."
Chuckle.
"You don't have to call me that. Tsuyomi is fine."
My eyes that were staring obediently at the light, turned towards the man whom I respected so much. A kind smile was smeared onto his face and his eyes gave off a sense of hope.
"Yes, Tsuyomi."
"Have you felt any burning in the last few days."
"Yes."
"Where?"
My arms that hadn't strayed from my sides, lifted onto my stomach before weakly landing on my throat, my jugular to be more exact.
"My throat has been burning more than usual and my head has been throbbing when it does."
"Like a chain reaction?"
"Correct."
Tsuyomi leaned over me and rubbed his warm fingers around the area of my eye.
"Can you please turn on you kekkei genkai?"
"As you wish, Tsuyomi."
The familiar stinging lurched at the back of my eyes and I could feel the recognizable drops of blood that fell from under my lids. I opened my eyes again and saw that Tsuyomi's had widened.
"Your kekkei genkai has been advanced. You may need more blood from now on."
"More?"
"Yes."
I threw my head back as the pain behind my eyes grew worse and the burning in my throat accelerated to an unbearable level. My back arched and my feet slammed into the metal slab that held me up.
"Ah, Lilith-san, you've been pushing yourself to hard, again."
My eyes squinted even more at the sound of his voice, his wrist was shoved in front of my mouth. With little to no self control I bit into it and started the familiar transfer that has happened only twice in the past between us. Everything was hazy but as soon as I realized what I had been doing, I yanked my unnaturally sharp teeth from his flesh and apologized.
"My sincerest apologize ,sir. I'm very sorry."
He simply smiled and ruffled my hair.
"Don't worry yourself."
