A demonic force seemed to take over the remnants of my mind when I continued to eye the vampire awkwardly close to me, his arm outstretched and his hand on the side of my pulsing head. A cool wave washed away the bloody river that was running through my deflating brain cells, a picture of a man with two multi-coloured eyes, thick auburn hair and fangs bared with an obvious thirst appearing inside my head.

"I presume that he is our ultimate enemy." I said, more of a comment then a question.

"Yes, and he is one unlike Yuki. He is swift and extremely unpredictable. Being a former foe of mine, I suggest you set your allegiance to me in the meantime." Why was he so keen on having me by his side? What advantage could I possibly offer him, other than my pureblood abilities? But then again, he is my family, and I feel quite safe in his presence. Why shouldn't I trust him?

"Okay, fine, as long as things go well."

I didn't really want to give in to him so easily, but what else could I do? He was the only real person I could rely on now, even my father Kaien seemed untrustworthy, I mean coexistence between vampires and humans? It kind of makes things suspicious. I couldn't possibly understand why my father would want so much control over both species.

"They shall, dear sister."

It was strange feeling, suddenly realising that you've had a family all your life. I'm guessing that after Juri and Haruka perished, I was taken in by the child authorities straight away, except now it makes me wonder. Why was I never told about my parents or the brother and sister that survived? When I was in the orphanage I didn't feel like the last one left. I always had a gut feeling inside that gave me hope, one that gave me the courage to keep on living despite being different to everyone else. I just wished someone had told me of it all.

"So what is the plan?" I hoped Kaname knew how to take on such a powerful enemy. We can't go unprepared, right?

"There are no plans." He formed a black circular portal with a simple hand movement, his eyes glowing from the use of power. Something gave me the impression that Kaname was a very experienced Kuran.

"Well then we will be utterly screwed." I spoke sarcastically even though it wasn't necessarily the time for cocky remarks. He wrapped his arm around me, leading me inside the abyss.

"Believe me. A plan will not be required for this mission."

"By the way, you never really gave me a decent answer as to why you kissed me before. I was a little freaked out, since you are my brother." I cracked a smile, his facial expression just as soft as mine.

"Well, it is a family tradition in a Pureblood lineage to marry within their own kind," He seemed to be holding back a smile himself, as if he found me being disturbed amusing.

"Incest is the correct term." He added.

"Ew, yuck!" I felt like hurling. It was understandable back in the times of royalty, but now? Not so much.

"It keeps the blood of our clan pure."

"Whatever."

"You're the one who tried to commit suicide. I find that utterly disturbing."

I guess he was right on that account. In a way, I kind of regret it, but at the same time I wished I was taken away from the pain that was bestowed upon me. Unless I return to Zeros arms, I don't think I would be able to fully recognise my true purpose in this world. Being in the wings of an angel is much more pleasant than frozen in place by the eyes of a demon.

I didn't reply, I just looked at the ground of nothingness. Where was this portal going to?

An abrupt burst of light stung my eyes. For a second I thought I was in heaven. A mansion stood, it's size about ten times a space of a footy arena, the perimeter covered with emerald nature and blooming roses, it's beauty making me feel incredibly light headed.

Deja-vu hit me like a slap to my face, a hit that opened my eyes for the first time in my entire life.

This was my true home.

Hey everyone! I apologise for the short chapter, I have school now so I'm basically cluttered with homework, dragged into drama with friends, ex boyfriends etc. LOL

I hope you have enjoyed my story and thanks again to all of you who have liked, favourite, and taken the time to read it! All the support just makes me want to keep writing!

BTW, just some quick questions. Is Val's character still progressing well, do you think? What do you think of Kaname, and the storyline in general?

Love you all! xxx
