Shade's POV
"Isn't that obvious? Both of you idiots liked one of the sisters while the other sister liked you."I turned around to see a girl with pure white hair and contrasting night eyes. A bat flew to her side and landed on her hand. "Thank goodness, I wasn't too late."
"Who are you? And what do you mean by that?"
"Shade, Bright, please follow me and I will explain everything. Also, carry Fine and Rein." She turned her attention the the bat in her hand and said, "Please inform Queen Elsa and King Truth about all this."
We followed her to a large room with a table and chairs. There were large windows, but they were covered in large curtains. The table had tea prepared. Bright and I set down Rein and Fine in a chair. The girl poured out tea for all of us. Why did she bring us here? Then she put something in Fine and Rein's mouths.
"What are you doing?"
"They're just some blood tablets."
Blood... tablets? Things like that exist? If vampires could eat those, then they wouldn't need any blood- "Sorry, but these tablets aren't really any good and vampires will probably throw up if they took them since they're not tasty. It's like when you eat something you hate but it's suppose to be good for you."
"Oh." How did she know what I was thinking?
"Do you two know what sweets, Fine and Rein like best?"
Bright said, "Rein likes honey waffles the best."
"And Fine likes strawberry cakes." I remember Milky telling me that once. She set half a strawberry cake for Fine and a honey waffle that was missing a part. She then sat down in a chair and took a tea cup.
"Um.. who are you exactly? Are you also a vampire," Bright asked the girl.
"It's true, I can control bats, however I am no vampire and at the same time, I'm not human. My name is Moon. I am Fine and Rein's friend. I hope that you enjoy Earl Gary tea."
"Why did you bring us here," Bright asked as I cautiously took a cup. I wouldn't put it past her if she put something in this.
"You want to know what happened to Fine and Rein, am I right?"
"Bright, did Rein want to drink your blood too?"
" 'Too?' That means Fine tried to do the same?" I nodded at him. "What's going on?"
"I'll tell the two of you a story that will explain, but in return I expect you to answer my questions, got it?"
We both nodded at the girl. I want to know why Fine acted like that. Last I remember, she said that she hated blood.
"Very well. Princess Grace have given up her humanity over 1000 years ago in order to save this star from the Black Crystal King. "
"Who's that?"
"A very cruel person who wants the universe to be under his control that had fallen into pure darkness. She traded her humanity for power to completely stop him. She made a deal with a female vampire who had lost her lover. In exchange for power, she remained inside the princesses of the Sunny kingdom. Waiting. The people of the Sunny Kingdom had all decided to stay by Princess Grace and turned into vampires themselves. When the princess she was inside experienced true sadness or anger-"
"Why those feelings," Bright asked.
"Because that's when a person is at their weakest. Anyways, before the age of 13-"
"Why that age," I asked her.
"I don't know, she would took over. When she bit the person that they loved the most-"
"Why not the person they were closest to," we both asked her at the same time. This is really vague.
"Stop interrupting me! They will also become vampires and the curse goes on for another 100 years. If Fine and Rein can manage for a little while longer then, they'll finally be free, every single vampire on this Star will be too."
"So that means Fine's in love with me? And Rein's in love with Bright? And when we said that we liked the other sister, the person took over them?"
"Yes, that's right. Fine and Rein chose idiots, good looking idiots but idiots all the same." Is she saying that because we kept interrupting? "Anyways, my story is finished. Why do you like Rein, Shade? And why do you like Fine, Bright?"
"She's different from anyone I've ever met. She tries end fights and she helps others no matter how she's treated," Bright said. "That's why I like Fine. I want to protect her."
"I like Rein because she's honest and pure. She always tries to make friends and doesn't hate anyone. I want to make sure that she remains like that."
"I see." Moon put the tea on her lap and looked at us."To me, it seems that you like them as sister more than a lover."
"What? Fine acts more like my sister, she always loves eating and finds the truth. She doesn't spill secrets and tries to make sure that everyone's happy even if it means that she isn't happy!"
"Same with Rein. She loves dressing up and making decors. She's honest and wants others to like her for who she is! She always does her best!" Bright and I were now standing and at the same time we sat back down and apologized.
"By the way you two said that, it seems that you like the other one more. Let's see... if Fine and Rein really liked someone that was an amazing person, what would you do?"
"Make sure that he stays as far away from Fine/Rein as possible."
"And that's how I know, you two have more of a brotherly love, not true love. If you really liked them, wouldn't you be happy if they find someone that they really like who's a good person?"
That's right. But I like Rein, not Fine and I'm going to get her to like me back.
"This is really good. I wonder who made it." Now she was eating a berry tart ignoring us. Is she even taking this seriously? She set the tart down on the table as she said, "You two really don't understand. Those two felt like they were being betrayed, by their own sister. If they find out about the person they like, liking their own sister, wouldn't they be deeply hurt?"
Now that I think about it, that would be true. But Fine never really showed any signs of her liking me and she doesn't seem like the type of person who would actually like someone. She always was pretty emotionless or serious. Except for that one time during the Princess Party where she looked like she was going to cry.
"Didn't they already find out, so isn't it fine?" Bright asked.
"I erased that part of their memories, they think that it was just a terrible dream." She looked down at her lap. " This is the first time that Fine and Rein actually wanted something so badly, to be loved by a one certain person more than anything. Do you two really not care what happens to the other twin?"
What happens... to Fine? I don't know but Milky probably wouldn't forgive me. And I don't want to hurt her, she's too nice of a person, but- What am I saying? And where are these feelings coming from?
"Then promise me something. Until midnight on their 13th birthday, do not confess. Or you two will end up as vampires. Unless, you can get them to love you in return. I honestly think that's impossible for you to do through."
"Why?" Is she purposely trying to make us mad?
"I think that you cannot do it because... a cat loves it's claws," she said seriously.
"Excuse me," Bright asked. "How does that make any sense?" She pointed her head towards the twins who were starting to wake up. Oh, that's why. But still, what's she talking about?
"Huh? Shade?"
"What's going on? Bright-sama?"
Then they looked at Moon and at the same time they said,"Moon? You're here? I thought, but, wait, what's going on?"
"You two don't remember? You were having tea with your boyfriends, I came in and you fainted from the shock of seeing me. Remember?"
"I see," they said at the same time again. "Wait! They're not our boyfriends, I mean they're our friends but it's not like that!"
That's a lie... A bold faced lie. And they actually believed her. What kind of person is Moon to them, anyways?
"So what were the two of you talking about anyways," Rein asked her after they calmed down. "You were telling them the story of why the cat claws are good for knives, right? I remember that story, it was really funny. Wasn't it Fine?"
"Really funny. Most of your stories were and really interesting. I always loved it when you told us a new one," Fine said, smiling. I've seen Rein smile from her heart but this is the first time that I've seen Fine's real smile. Not her normal plastered on smile. It was... really beautiful.
"Really? Well, you'll be able to hear them again cause I'm staying here for a while."
"Really? How long?"
"Yep. I've got a break from work and I'm spending it with you guys. It should be for a couple of months at least." Then she turned to Bright and I and smiled. "And I'm going to be watching things very carefully."
She planned this didn't she?
