As I felt myself slipping away, Rosalya froze and pulled away from my neck. She jumped back on the branch and stared at me as I was consumed by an odd light.
Inside her mind...
"What's going on? Where am I?"
I was floating in some kind of blank space, and there was a blank screen in front of me.
I looked up at the screen, and saw my reflection, which moved exactly like me, but... who was that?
It was a girl that looked just like me, but her hair was cerise pink and almost reached down to her ankles, both her eyes were the bright amethyst of my right eye, and her cheeks were a beautiful scarlet instead of the bright pink that was always on my cheeks.
The space in the reflection was a pitch black behind her.
She seemed much more prettier than me, however, with pale skin that looked great with her scarlet cheeks and hair.
She was wearing a strange, yet beautiful cosplay-like outfit – a black jacket that looked long enough to sweep the floor,with wide sleeves that hid both arms entirely, and went past her fingertips, a frilly, really cute, sleeveless, dark pink dress underneath that was short and was cut right at the waist, and matching thigh high tights and pretty, dark pink knee high boots.
Giant, black angel wings fluttered behind her softly, and on her head was a pink tiara with a strange symbol on it, and that same symbol was on her chest, almost like a tatoo.
I had a tiny birthmark there, but..
I looked down at my chest to see that that same symbol had formed where my birthmark had been.
When had it done that?! This morning, maybe?
Is this what I'm becoming? My vampire form?
I reached my hand out, and at the same time, she did, but we touched the glass.
And then my reflection did something I didn't.
She smiled, revealing her sharp fangs, and flipped her hair.
"I never thought we'd meet eye to eye. You know, with me being locked up like this."
I didn't say that, at all, but I felt a small part of me saying that, and it felt weird.
"H- how is this possible? That we can meet like this since we're the same person..?"
"I've seen everything you've seen, done everything you've done. I'm basically the side of you that... how can I put this... .. does everything you're too shy to do. And since I've been locked away, I live here."
" I sort of see what you're saying... But then again, it still doesn't make much sense. Where am I exactly?"
"This is your.. mind. In a certain place, where I live, and watch the outside world from your point of view."
Suddenly, she/I jumped out of the mirror like screen to land next to me, making me gasp.
She/ I smiled sweetly, but the kind you knew meant she was indeed evil.
"You know how that bitch Rosalya has been attacking us for her own personal reasons?"
I frowned slightly at her/my language and nodded, "Y-yes."
"Well, remember all of the thoughts of revenge you would think every time she hurt us? That was me, basically. You know you would never do it, but I'm the side that would. The more violent side of you. Do you get it?"
"I... I think so.."
"Good, because I don't have anymore examples, and I don't have time to think about it, because I'm going into the real world right now. And the first thing I'm going to do is kill both her and that Castiel dude who seems to think I'm his chew toy. Ugh."
I didn't even have time to stop her.
"W-wait-"
In a bright flash, she was gone, and the screen beside me flickered. I sat back and watched the outside world from her new point of view.
Regular POV
Castiel and Leigh watched as the large light surrounded Shy and stretched all the way in the sky and through the clouds.
They watched her small form as she was lifted upright and about 6 feet in the air, and knew that she was transforming.
Rosalya had to cover her face from the large amount of light, and jumped to another tree branch.
"What the hell is going on?" Castiel slapped Leigh's hand away when he loosened his grip around his neck, and they stared up at Shy.
"Well, Eliodoro's daughter is awakening, thanks to you and Ms. Rosalya." Leigh said simply, balling his fists up on his side.
"Eliodoro!? KING Eliodoro? What are you talking about exactly?"
Leigh turned to glare at Castiel, "I said -"
Just then, the principal darted out of the bushes behind Leigh and Castiel.
"Leigh! Shy? I have the blood test results! Shy is definitely a..." the principal caught sight of the small girl hovering in the air, her head thrown back, surrounded by a thick beam of light shooting down from the sky.
"...vampire.." her voice trailed off.
Castiel turned to look at her, his eyes widening, "Vampire!? What in the world are you guys saying?"
Leigh snapped his fingers and a thick block of ice appeared above Castiel's head, hitting him hard as it landed.
He rubbed his fiery red and glared at Leigh, "What was that for, Ice Prince!?"
"You're really an idiot aren't you? Is it really that hard to believe that Shy is half vampire, and not only is she half of that, but her father is King Eliodoro, who we all know very well, and it just so happens to be her 16 th birthday, time for her vampire side to take over!?" Leigh quickly explained, looking away, annoyed.
Castiel frowned and stared at Shy again, "Well, that sort of makes since. But I've never met a half human vampire."
"None of us have. It used to be impossible." Leigh sighed.
The principal spoke, "Well, she is indeed half vampire, and being her father's daughter, she should be very powerful. That student up there must have said something that triggered her transformation."
"Triggered?" Castiel and Leigh turned to the principal.
"I've read that if there's a word, or something that reminds a half human of what they hate, they're transformation would be triggered."
"Word? I wonder what Rose could have said." Castiel frowed again.
"I'm not sure, but we need to get this-" The principal held up a a pink cross necklace decorated with black diamonds, it was specially made for something like this- "on to her, and someone needs to find a way to calm her down. I have no idea if her vampire side can control her powers, if we don't get her human side back, she could destroy most of Tokyo in a few hours."
Leigh and Castiel tensed and they all turned to look at Shy again.
"How are we going to calm her down?" Leigh asked.
"I don't know, but you're the only one she at least knows here, maybe you could do something?"
Me? But why would she listen to me? We're barely friends..
Suddenly, the light changed from a bright white to a black, then dissapeared.
Shy was still hovering in the air, and her whole body had changed.
Shy's POV
Slowly, I opened my eyes.
Finally, I could see the Earth through my own eyes!
I spread my giant black wings and lowered myself to the tree branch.
I looked around. Sounds were amplified, I could see things clearly, and...
I could see Rosalya.
Smiling coldly at her surprised expression from her place on the tree across from me, I waved.
"Rosalya, dear! I'm finally awake, and I can give you a fair fight if you want! I'm no longer that puny, defenseless human that you tried to kill for your own... reasons.
Rosalya blinked a few times. "What the..."
Spreading my wings again, I gave them one large flap and I was in the air, heading for her.
I gently landed on the same tree branch she was on, staring at her from a few meters away.
"Not going to answer? Is it really that hard to get it through that thick head of yours that I was a half breed? You didn't know you would be punished severely for such an act? That a vampire with so much power that's been building itself every year would probably kill you after the dumbest thing you could think to do? Pick a fight with me? You didn't think you made a mistake?"
Rosalya's eyes widened, and I smiled.
"That's what I thought, you bitch."
Rosalya glared at me, "I don't know what the hell you are, but don't think I'm scared of you or something, you freak!"
A blue light shot down from the sky to consume Rosalya as she transformed into her battle suit, like I was wearing now.
When the light disappeared, Rosalya was wearing a long, white, wide sleeved jacket like mine, and a tight, crystal blue mini-dress with frills at the waist, and white knee high tights with crystal high heels.
Fluttering behind her back were crystal angel wings, and in her hand was a staff.
I summoned my own weapon and was rewarded with the long, large, pure white sword of light.
I grabbed it by the handle and pointed it toward Rosalya.
Both of us charged our weapons with our powers, and got them ready for battle.
And at the same time, we ran toward each other.
