Sometimes…questions don't have answers. And right now, I feel like this one doesn't have one.

My body quivered violently and I couldn't stop it. My hand was forever hovering over my mouth in efforts to hide my fangs. My eyes were wide in horror as my heart rate was rapidly running. I panted for air, but it seemed like no oxygen was getting through. My pupils were dilated and I didn't know why. Something was placed on my shoulder and I jumped as my head snapped to where the hand belonged to. My eyes softened considerably as my eyebrows were only scrunched up in pain. It was only Alphonse.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

I nodded as I tried to talk. My mouth and throat was dry so my voice came out raspy and cracked. "I-I'm fine…I-I just feel a l-little startled is a-all," I said and couldn't help how shaky my reply was.

"You have glass in your hand!" Al said as he lifted up my hand.

"H-Huh?" I asked as I looked up at him. I caught sight of my hand and found small glass shards embedded into my skin. I pulled my hand away as I started to smell the aroma of blood. I ridded myself of the shards as I wrapped my hand in my apron.

"Well, as long as you're not dead or something," Edward said as he walked past me.

As he walked by that…scent came into the air again. I clasped both my hands around my nose as I shut my eyes, waiting for that scent to go away. As I heard the bell chime along with the door opening I ran into the bathroom, not bothering cleaning up the mess.

"Seiren-"

Paige was stopped short as I dashed past her, bumping shoulders as I ran. I know I was being rude, but at the moment I think it's best if I get away from people. I ran at full speed into the small room shutting the door behind me. I placed a hand on my chest as I breathed heavily, with my eyes going wide. My fang were shown in the dim light and I can tell that they were at least an inch long. I swallowed as I put my back against the wall. I sunk down as I sat down on the floor, bringing my knees up to my chest.

My body still shook with quivering and I couldn't stop it. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. This never happened before. Never.

Could this be…?

Oh no.

I swallowed hard as I clenched my fists. Auntie Amber's words repeated in my head. I stood up still slightly quivering. I tore out the cat ears and my stained white apron. I opened up the door and walked over to Paige, who I hear in the kitchen.

"P-Paige?" I asked shakily. The redhead whipped her head around to my voice. Her eyes went large as she tried to hug me.

"Seiren!" She cried running out to me. Her scent came closer and I didn't want to have another reaction.

"I-I'm leaving for today. I-I don't feel so good," I said making her stop running and look at me confused. I swallowed again and handed her the cat ears and apron. "I-I'll come again sometime during the week."

Before Paige could say anything, I had walked out the back door. I pulled my trench coat on, covering my entire body. It was about 80 degrees outside but I was freezing cold. I looked at the sky which had its daily bright blue, with no clouds in the sky whatsoever. I had a chill go down my spine as I started to walk forward. I saw a phone booth in the distance and walked to it. As I reached it, I breathed in deeply causing my lungs to fill with oxygen that I was missing for an amount of time. I punched in a number as I held the phone to my ear, hearing it ring.

"Yes. Hello, this is Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye speaking, East City HQ." The voice rang out smoothly. I sighed as I stared down at my feet.

"A-Aunt Riza…?" I asked softly, my voice still shaky.

XoXo… At the Office …XoXo

Riza's eyes widened at the sound of a young girl's voice. It could only be one person. "Seiren? What are you calling for?"

"U-Um…Y-You see, I-I have a problem…" Seiren said shakily.

Riza's eyes softened considerably as she heard how shaky Seiren's voice was. "Seiren, are you alright? Your voice is shaky," Riza said steadily.

"….I-I…."

Riza furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and concern as she heard the fear in her tone of voice. "Seiren. You need me to pick you up?"

"…P-Please…"

Riza nodded. "Alright. I'll be there in five minutes. Don't move, do you hear me?"

"Mm-Hm…"

Her voice was so shaky and scared. Riza has never heard her this way before. "Okay. See you soon," Riza said.

"Okay…and…don't bring anyone else? Please?"

Riza nodded. "Sure," she said and hung up. She looked up to see every one of her subordinates looking at her with confused and concerned stares. She shook her head at the group as she stared down at Black Hayate who was whining. She smiled softly as she petted his head and then walked out the door.

XoXo… Seiren …XoXo

I hugged my knees up to my chest as I sat on the curb. All I wanted to do was get this over with. I wanted to go home. I didn't want to be a vampire. And especially one who thought of biting someone and drinking them dry. Tears streamed down my face as I stared at my knees. I wonder what would have happened if Auntie Amber had never saved me and let me die? I heard a car pulling up next to me. I didn't bother looking up and just stayed down as I smelt Aunt Riza's scent of lavender and faint gun powder. I heard the clicking of her boots on the pavement and then stop.

"Seiren," she said calmly. "Come on."

I nodded as I stood up and looked down at the floor. I was crying and I didn't want her of all people to see me weak.

"Come on," She repeated as she gestured me towards the car.

I wiped my tears on my sleeve as I followed her in. I opened up the car door and got in. I looked forward, not wanting to make eye contact. I heard a faint sigh as Aunt Riza sat in her seat.

"Aren't you going to start up the car?" I asked looking anywhere but her face.

"No," she replied as she turned to me. "What happened Seiren?"

I stayed quiet as I looked out the window. Tears or no tears, I'm still stubborn. "I…had to get out of there…I just had to leave right then," I said.

"Why?" she persisted.

I sniffled quietly. "Auntie Amber was right…" I said softly. "I almost couldn't take it."

Aunt Riza sighed as she turned to the wheel and turned on the car. We sat in silence for a while before Aunt Riza spoke up again. "Couldn't take what?"

"My symptoms," I said stiffly. "I finally met up with bloodlust. It sucks."

Riza rolled her eyes as she started up the car. "Couldn't find any better wording?"

I smiled softly. She always knew what to say. Then it hit me. "How'd you know that I was here? I didn't tell you where I was. And you don't even know the café I work at," I asked confused.

She didn't look at me but rather looked forward. "Seiren. I know you like the back of my hand. I didn't need you to tell me where you were," She said.

I looked at her with narrowed eyes. "Know me like the back of your hand eh?" I asked and then leaned back in the chair. I put me hands behind my head as Eastern HQ came into view. I smiled softly.

It's official.

Aunt Riza is like family.

BN: ^-^ And so you have it. Now it's also a parental RizaXOc.
