"Shiki..." I whispered, backing up abit.
He seemed to have calmed his crazy demeanor, and was now looking at me, amused.
"Shiki is no longer here." He said, his voice mocking.
The wounds on my neck healed, but I was still dizzy from the blood loss.
"Who are you?" I snarked, stepping forward and pinning my finger into his chest.
This was pissing me off.
"And what the fuck are you doing in Shiki's body?"
I'd guessed as much. I'd read about vampire posession, and this was the only conclusion I could come to.
"You haven't guessed it yet?" He murmured as he bent over to inspect me.
"Guessed what, you perv?" I said, with stony indifference as he ran his hand down my side.
"Hahaa, you're very sexy, my dear daughter." He murmured into my ear, "You're tempting me. So much like your mother, only you have more fire."
I stepped back.
Daughter?
"Rido?" I glanced at the body in the tank.
"Yesss, Took you a while to guess." He seemed amused.
"Maybe because I've never seen you before because of what a lousy father you've been."
"Ouch."
He reached up and encircled his arm around my neck.
This felt so wrong.
This was my father in my brother's body that was running his lips across my neck and my jawline.
I wrenched myself out of his grasp, and started running and reached the giant doors, when I heard the whimper.
I froze, stiff with horror.
I'd know that whimper anywhere. The same whimper that made my heart melt when she'd fall, and I'd bandage her knee, or that one time, when she fell in the lake in winter, and she was freezing cold, and I stripped to my underwear to give her my dry clothes.
My eyes widened, as I slowly turned, and took in the little girl who was standing behind me, her front fringe covering the wide brown eyes I knew were there.
My next whisper exited my mouth in a hush.
"May."
