Time Skip: Some Time Later

I woke up hazily in a room. This room was quite familiar, I looked down and saw I was wearing a Lolita black dress. I looked around the room once more then got up and walked outside. I was at home... Not the one I mentioned that Yaya and Amu and I live in, butmy real home... This is where my half sisters and I lived before my father sent us to the Human World. Yes, I said half... I might have explained this earlier, But I shall explain again if you forgot. I am first born of my father's daughters. I also have the purest blood, because My mother(as creepy as is) was my father's sister/wife. She died shortly after I was born and my father found other wives which soon gave birth to Amu and Yaya. They are not as pureblooded as I am, but they are still his daughters. I also have a few older brothers but they are half, except Yume. Yume is pureblooded and came from another pureblooded vampire. My father dislikes the fact he was not born from my mother, because illegitimate children cannot become rulers of our world. Yes, this all sounds like something out a fairytale land...It's true though... Vampires are the eldest, most intelligent, and powerful of all the creatures in our world.

"Onee-chan".

I knew these voices and my heart felt warmed. I spun around to see my little brothers, my have they grown. The last time I saw them it was when they were younger, know they were grown up a bit. The two red-headed boys ran up to me and pounced on me. They were the youngest of my siblings being only a decade or so old. (AN: yes vampires can look like 6 year olds and actually be like 10 or 20 years old)

I ruffled their hair and their matching emerald eyes danced with excitement. "Sano, Let's give Nee her present", said the one to the left. "But Sona, I wanted to give it later!", the boy on the right whined. I watched them quarrel for a bit then laughed. Both boys pulled me by the hand into a room and told me to close my eyes. When I opened them they both held in their hands a massive ornate box. My eyes widened and I looked at them for approval to open it. When I opened the box there were three compartments. I opened the top one and pulled out a huge black jewel which hung from a black chain-like bracelet.

"That's for Amu...These are protective seals, so all that anti-vamp crap doesn't work if people use it on you...", Sano said bitterly.

"Yeah we know you must be having alot of trouble with those ones so we got Yaya one too", said Sona in an irritated tone. I smiled at my little brothers kindness. For some reason, none of my other siblings tolerated Amu or Yaya, so it was my job to take care of them. I opened the next drawer and it had an orange jewel ring meant for Yaya. I examined and assumed it would fit her. My brothers were staring at me so anxiously I thought their eyes were gonna fly out at me. "Calm Down I'm opening it", and right as I opened the drawer my jaw fell open. It was a red bat-shaped jewel which was attached to a black-chain-necklace. Sano and Sona grabbed each part of the necklace and put it around my neck. It wan't too gaudy that humans would notice but it was just radiant.

"That is a blood-stained curvaila", the twins said in unison.

"Curvaila's are the jewels which can give magic and life to our world-"

"and we stained it with our blood. It's meant for us to keep you safe", finished Sona.

I hugged them both tightly and thanked them immensely for the gifts.

" S'okay. We don't get to see you much... cause of them", said Sano.

"So it is fine Nee", said Sona brightly. I ruffled their heads then walked out of the room. The hallways seemed darker then before and I wondered why father would send me home.I kept walking until I heard a whistle. I turned and saw Yume and I smiled.

"ONII-SAN", I practically screamed and ran and hugged him. I couldn't even remember how many decades it has been since I have seen him. He smiled lightly at me, his ruby eyes gentle. I stepped back and took a good look at him. His long silvery-white hair was in a ponytail and he had grown quite tall. Yume, was the one out of all of us who looked exactly like Father. Even though my mother was his sister, Father says that Mother took after Grandmother and he took after Grandfather. I also looked exactly like mother and grandmother.

"Take a photograph with me", he said in a strange tone. I looked at him quizzically, why would he even OWN a camera? My brother took my hand then ran to the nearest window,opened it, PICKED ME UP BRIDAL STYLE then jumped out. I smiled reminiscing our childhood, we had done this MANY times when we were bored and played. We landed gracefully and he put me down and grabbed my hand again leading me by the fountain where a blonde girl sat with blue eyes.

"RIMA-NEE!", squealed the girl who ran to me and hugged me while picking me up. It was my sister Lulu, she looked the same though. Her soccer mom curled hair was intact and her features still the same. Lulu hadn't changed at all and was giggly and bubbly as ever. She started going on about how she was doing and how boring it was at the castle. Lulu eyed Yume and smiled, dashing behind him and pulling something out of his pockets, It was a small digital camera. I was shocked when I actually saw the thing. I didn't really think he had one.

"When Nii-sama went to the stupid world he picked one up. Come on take one of me and Nee-chan", she whined at Yume. Yume rolled his eyes and agreed. Lulu forcefully sat me down on the fountain beside her and we took a photo. Lulu was always hyper, kindof like the character that Yaya pretended to be. Lulu sprang up then shoved Yume by me,"Take a depressing photo so you can look like Grandfather and Grandmother". I looked up at him and frowned and he just mouthed 'come on'. As I took a sitting position, Yume stood next to me with his hand on my shoulder and my hand slightly atop his. I think we both invisioned the photo in our minds then copied it. We both stood still then made the serious expression then Lulu snapped the photo then pulled the memory card and ran off.

"What just happened", I asked as I stared into my brother's Ruby eyes. "When I was in what Lulu calls the 'stupid world', I became interested in photography and bought everything. From digital cameras to professional cameras, to printers to print the photos...Everything", he said with a slight smile, the one he only gave to me. "He wasn't upset?", I was referring to father who usually detested practicing human-like behaviors. "He doesn't care about me Remember?", he said coldly and looked away. I looked up sympathetically at my brother, I can't imagine his pain right now. I feel bad becase I am father's favored child... I got up and wrapped my arms around him, letting a single tear form and fall from my eye and he hugged me back. Just then something fell from the sky, Yume's memory card? He released me and bent down,picked it up then inserted it inside his small camera. I gave him a ? look.

"Lulu can transport, herself, things, people. As long as she can touch them first", he said smiling. "They are growing fast", as if it were magic I was knocked over and Sano and Sona were on my back.

"I WANNA TAKE A PICTURE WITH ONEE-CHII". What is with this family and pictures?

"NO ME". Then they rolled off me and began quarrelling. Yume sighed and motioned for me to sit down by the fountain. Yume put the camera in his pocket then picked up each child with each hand "Stand by Rima, so you can BOTH take a photo". The boys grinned as Yume dropped them and they ran by me. I sat down with my back erect and my hair flowing down and my brothers stood grinning infront of me and Yume snapped the photo.

"Ohh yeah we almost forgot", Sano said with a worried expression on his face.

"Father wants to see you", Sona said. I thanked them then sent them off to play. I looked at Yume and I was afraid. I was the one who was punished for my siblings foolishness to strengthen me, and to teach them a lesson. I hope I don't get punished... Yume picked me up then sprinted back to the window we had jumped from and he climbed up the wall and back into the window. He rushed with me still in his arms to father's throne room. By the time we reached the door he put me down then opened the door for me. I gave him a last glance and frowned the walked in.

"Forgive me father, for I was greeting my siblings", I said emotionlessly and bowed not daring to look up unless ordered to.

"Come here my lovely daughter", my father said in his low baratone voice. I looked up and saw his always serious expression, and walked toward him. "You are to be married", he said plainly. What, I cannot believe this...

"You cannot marry that... Yume... because he is not of legitimacy... You must marry the man selected for you with the purest blood quantum". I was in shock and I felt my throat get tight.

"You are the second eldest and it is time you have done so, I need an heir to the throne".

"B-but WHY FATHER?", I screamed. I did not want to marry, not at all. Then I regretted my words. Father's hand went up and simply waved me over, and my throat was in his hands in seconds. His nails dug in and I could no longer breathe. His hands had already made an entire fist in my throat. Blood wa gushing everwhere and my eyes began glowing due to the blood loss.

"You WILL OBEY", he said and flung me across the room where I slammed into one of the pillars then fell. "IS THAT UNDERSTOOD", his voice bellowed making the earth tremble.

"Yes Father", I said quietly. I barely got up bowed, then left the room. I was in the hall walking until I finally fell. The last face I saw was Yume's before I blacked out. I awoke to a green head of hair. I sat up groggily and finally focused my eyes on a mirror. I has wrap going along my chest and I saw my had another tattoo across where father had done the damage. I could still feel the pain of the wound... It never goes away, when father sinks his fangs or fingers in you.

I got up despite my pain and saw my Dear Old Friend. "Kai", I said soflty and the green head turned around. Kai, my childhood friend with the bright smile. Kai was a sorcerer whose family served mine. When Amu brought up when father got 'angry' before he was the one who stopped the bleeding and took care of the wounds.

"Same as always, I just did a different seal design as you can see", and he pointed to the tattoo/seal on my neck. The tattoo like thing sealed the wound so it wouldn't bleed as much. But right after getting it, it will still bleed after a few years, Then maybe after 5 it stops. "So how ya been doin with the munchkins?", he said brightly with a childish smile on his face. My eyes widened,I had to get home but before I could move I blacked out again.
