Bright's POV
"Bright-sama, King Aaron is requesting your presence immediately. It seems to be very important, so I suggest that you hurry."
"I understand. Thank you for informing me. I'll go right now." As I walked to the throne room I couldn't help but wonder why Father needed me. I want doing well in for both academic and my hunter lessons, so what would Father need to talk to me about? I took a deep breath before I walked in and said, "You needed to see me Father?"
"Ah Bright. I've been hearing from your teacher that you've been doing well and I wanted to congratulate you. Keep up the good work."
"Thank you very much. I'll do my best."
"Bright, I think that it's time that you be officially welcomed into the hunters society."
"Father, by that you mean...," I stopped not wanting to say what I thought was happening.
"Yes, I want you to start as a vampire hunter and eliminate a vampire. There has been a new one that is very unusual, I heard that this one is able to be perfectly fine in sunlight and is almost often using her bats. There have been no signs of her drinking blood, but we can't help but be too careful."
"Father, I don't even think that I'm ready to be hunting vampires. I'm still very inexperienced and there could be a chance that this person isn't even a vampire but a human who just really understands bats well. This... is just too sudden." How could I hunt a vampire when the girl I like is a vampire?
"I want you to hunt vampires for the sake of the safety of this kingdom, but... you're right about the inexperienced part." I let out a deep breath. This is good... I think. "So, I'll ask if the Prince of the Moon Kingdom can assist you. He's quite the hunter and seems to impress, even more of the older hunters. If you prove to be helpful, then you'll become an official hunter."
"A-alright." He just seems too happy. I can't say that I don't want to hunt. It's wrong and now I'm dragging Shade into this too! I really don't want Rein to find out about this. First, I had trouble figuring out what to get Rein for Christmas, even through it's still a few weeks away, and now this. Why can't my life get easier?
After a few minutes of not doing anything or thinking about anything Shade came through the door holding a file. "Bright, why is it that King Aaron asked me to help you with your first assignment?"
"I didn't want to even do this in the first place."
"Then why couldn't you say that? Do you know who we have to hunt?" Weird, Shade's actually freaking out for once. From what I heard he's anyways calm in the society, even when dealing with a difficult vampire. He's actually scared. I wonder why?
"They didn't tell me. All I know that it's a someone who is able to be in sunlight, is able to control bats, but they never actually seen her drinking blood. That was about all they told me," I said not getting where he was going with this. "Why are you so scared? Isn't this normal for you to have to hunt vampires?"
" Yes, if this was a normal vampire, then I would be fine. But this vampire that we're going have to hunt, can probably kill us!"
"Can't most vampires kill us? What's so special about this one?"
He then yell in a whispering tone, "It's the one who found out that thing that we swore was only because of our sisters and the one who we thought was a guy!"
I felt my eyes widen. I was horrified as I said, "No, we have to... She's not even a vampire!"
"Then tell me that I'm blind if you think that this isn't Moon," he said throwing the folder to me. I caught it and just stared at the photo of Moon. She was surrounded by bats an the sun was shining perfectly without a cloud in sight. When did they take this picture?
"Shade, good news."
"I'm blind?"
"No wait, it's bad news. What are we going to do? Moon is the one who told us about who we actually like and about the truth of vampires, about everything." That and she could probably beat is up, if she only needs one hit to knock out Fine and Rein. She's also important to Fine and Rein, which just makes things harder.
"Okay, I know what we should do, we could make her disappear and disappear along with her and-"
"Please tell me your real plan," I said interrupting him.
He sighed then said," I was thinking that we could bring her here and have her explain to King Aaron and the rest of the society that she's not a vampire. That way all of us are still alive, but we can't tell this to Fine or Rein or they'd probably get too worried."
"Sounds good to me, but how are we going to get to talk to Moon, when Fine and Rein aren't there? Normally, it's Moon who goes somewhere randomly." And Fine and Rein would get suspicious if we ask to talk to only Moon, so how are we going to do this?
"That's a good question, so... how do we do that?"
"By asking me right now." Shade and I turned around to see a boy with a hat and messy black hair. He took off his hat and his hair. Smooth white hair fell down to her waist. "After all, we can't let Fine and Rein hear about this later, can we?"
"Moon? Why are you here? More importantly, how'd you get in here and why in those clothes?" I am asking a lot of questions today.
"One of my bats heard about your conversation with your father while I was out shopping. I wore a wig, so I could get in easily. It's not that hard to disguise yourself. Now, how should I tell this to your father and the other members of the vampire society?"
Later...
I asked her one more time just to be sure, "So you know what to do, right? And you must absolutely not make fun of them, or you'll get killed."
"When I said I get it, that means I GET IT! What are you so worried about anyways, your mother and Altezza are out shopping for the day, so they won't find out about me and if things start going wrong, I know a few things about them that would make them speechless. "
"Like I said, please behave!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. If I don't behave then it's because they started it first . Now shall we go?" Then she started walked as she happily whistled. She's not worried at all and her life is at stake! This just makes me worry even more. Please let this end peacefully.
We met Shade outside of the throne room. "I got most of the available people that weren't on missions to come and some of the head people, so if it's like this then it should be fine."
"Good work. Now let's hope that this plan works." They both nodded at me as I pulled the door open. "Father and people from the hunter society, I'm glad that you could make it. Shade and I have something to talk to you about." Then Moon came in after Shade and I.
When see Moon the hunters got their guns out and one of them yell, "Why have you brought that vampire here? And she's not even wearing handcuffs!"
Father calmly said, "Bright, what's going on? I know that this is your first time hunting, but you should at least put handcuffs on it so that it doesn't get away. Weren't you taught that? But since you were able to get it so quickly, I suppose everyone can look past that. Next time through, please properly catch it."
"Father that isn't the reason why she's here. I didn't catch her, she came here by her own will. If you would, please just listen to her at the very least. This girl isn't a thing but a person."
Then Shade said, "I also request that you would listen, King Aaron." He said nothing for a few minutes. This is a good time to continue.
Moon realized this, curtsied, and politely said,"King Aaron and the many others who came, thank you for coming here. It seems that you have been mistaken about something. You see-"
"What could we-?"
"Ara? I wasn't finished speaking." She shoot a knife right above the hunter that was talking. "Please listen for I am not the most patient person in the universe and I'm fully armed. As I was trying to say before, I am not a vampire. I have no fangs nor the desire for blood, so why is it that you wanted someone like me to be hunted?"
"That's a lie! If not then how can you be able to wield bats? Let's just end this all now, and shot you, you vampire!" He took out his gun and aimed it at her. This is bad, everything's slowly starting to get worse. What do I do in a situation like this?
She was calm through, and didn't flinch when the gun was brought out. In an eerie voice she said, "Arthur, the reason why you are a hunter is because 6 years ago, your parents and younger brother had died because a vampire ate them, you were the last one standing in a broken, bloody house. In order to not let their deaths go in vain, you swore to become someone who could protect others."
"How did you know that?" His arm that held the gun was quivering.
"I know a lot of things, for instance, two people in this room wish that I know nothing about something that their sisters made them do." She just loves bringing that up doesn't she? "If you really believe that I'm a vampire then shot that gun. If I am injured, then I am a vampire and I'll let you take me where ever, however if I am not them you all are to apologize on your knees."
"What are you saying?"
"I know a few things about you as well, Robert-san. Like how you once used your cat's brush as your-"
"Why do you know that? Shot her!" And when I told her to behave. Now what do we do? The trigger was pull, the bullet shot into her shoulder, but there wasn't any blood. "What's going on?"
I could literally see flames coming from Moon. All the others trembled in fear."I'm going to say thing again. I. AM. NOT. A. VAMPIRE! You'll all idiots, suddenly accused me of being something I'm not, and most importantly owe me a shopping trip. Now get on your knees and apologize! NOW!"
Wow she's scary when she's mad. Everyone except my Father got on their knees and started apologizing. My Father then walked down from the throne and to Moon. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just assumed that you were a vampire when there was no proof. Please accept my apology."
"You should make sure that you don't make mistakes like this again and listen to what Fine had told you. Don't judge vampires on what we are, but who we are. Treat vampires like a person not a thing. Vampires can feel things too and aren't really that different from humans."
"I got it. Then will you please tell me something, why can't you control bats?"
"Cause I can. There's not really anything else to it. I just can. Now, the rest of you, get up and go do your jobs. You've wasted enough time already. " Then they quickly left right after she said that. "Well, good day to you, King Aaron."
We all went outside. "By the way Moon, why are you here anyways? I thought that you hated going out in sunlight," Shade asked.
"I'm making something and saw the perfect beads for it. They're already in my room and I need to work on it in the day so that Fine and Rein don't see it yet. It's suppose to be a surprise for them. Oh, it's almost sunset, I'd better hurry back. Later."
"Oh wait, how'd you know all that stuff about them?"
"That's a secret." I'm really glad that I'm friends with someone like her, because it just makes everything more interesting.
