Azusa's P.O.V

It was dark outside. I don't even know why but I was running. Me and my brothers had a fight. It's usually Yuma and Kou who fight. Sometimes Ruki too and I was the one who tried to stop them but this time I was involved. They wanted me to stop hurting myself. They told me if I continue I might die someday. I never felt so angry before. For once in a while I yelled and ran outside into the woods. I didn't watch my step and tripped on something. I fell on the cold ground and just laid there a little. I maybe should go back and appolgize to them. We maybe can talk this out somehow. I can promise them I will hurt myself less. But I won't stop.

I looked around to see what I tripped on. What I saw was something pink. I moved closer and noticed it was actually somebody, a girl with pink hair. She suddenly moved.

''Ngn... Food...'' She groaned. It looked like she was sleeping. I poked her cheek but she didn't wake up. Then I recognized her face. It was Candy! What is she doing here? Shouldn't she be with the Sakamakis? I picked her up carefully and began to walk back home. She can't sleep on the cold ground or she will become sick. But then I noticed something else about her. She didn't have her chains on like on the ball. Was she maybe wearing them for style? But she has her wrists wrapped up in bandages. It is also a little red. So those chains must have hurt. Then why was she wearing them in the first place?

We soon arrived home. I knocked on the door and Yuma opened it. He had a worried look on his face.

''I'm so sorry Azusa for earlier!''

''It's fine... Just help me. I found... Candy...''

Yuma looked at her with wide eyes then took her from my arms. He didn't say anything and we just went inside. I closed the door. Yuma went inside the living room with Candy in his arms and I followed. Ruki and Kou were already there. Ruki was sitting on one of the blue armchairs and read a book while Kou was laying on the blue couch.

''Move Kou.'' Yuma looked at Kou and wanted some space so that he could put Candy down I guessed.

''I don't wanna move!'' Kou whined. Yuma klicked his tounge and kicked Kou out of the way then put Candy down.

''Yuma! That wasn't nice!'' It seemed like Kou didn't notice Candy.

''I'm sorry Kou but I had to otherwise I couldn't put Candy down if you took all the space.''

''Wait! Candy? The Candy? The Candy from when we were kids?'' Kou quickly sat up and Yuma just nodded. We didn't know if she actually was alive until we saw her at the ball. Ruki closed the book and looked at me.

''Where did you find her?'' He asked me.

''Outside... In the woods. She.. was just laying there.''

''I see... Maybe she ran away from the Sakamakis?''

''Maybe...''

We didn't say much after that. Kou was poking Candy's cheeks, Yuma tried to make Kou stop while Ruki and I watched them. It was kinda strange that Candy didn't wake up from all the noise they made.

Soon Yuma put Candy into the guest room so that she could sleep without Kou bothering her. All of us were actually very happy to finally see her again.

When the sun rose up, Candy was still sleeping. We checked her pulse and it was still beating so she wasn't dead. But we were still worried about her. Was she really alright?

Candy's P.O.V

I slowly woke up from birds singing. I opened my eyes and looked around slowly. I noticed I was in a room. It was different from the one at the Sakamakis and the acadamy. I must be somewhere else. But where. I put my hand on my cheek and noticed it was wet. Was I crying? Most likely. Suddenly I thought about the school which burnt down and Amber's smile... I began to cry. It doesn't matter where i am anymore. I don't even have a home... No matter where I am. I will never find somewhere to belong.

Soon I heard a door opening. A tall young man came inside with a wierd hairstyle. But I recognized him. It was Yuma. I couldn't stop crying. Out of all pepole. Why must I be with these guys? Yuma's eyes widened when he saw me crying. He quickly called for Ruki. Soon there were four males inside the room. I knew all of them. Ruki, Yuma, Kou and Azusa. I met Ruki and Azusa at the ball. But not Kou and Yuma. All of them looked at me chocked. Like it was unusual to see me cry. Well it was. I rarely cry infront of others. I have to stay strong. Always.

I met Yuma at my village first. But then his name was Edgar. We were neighbors. We helped each other at work. But time to time he played with a boy. His name was Shu. He was kinda quiet but well mannered. He was from a noble family of course. But then a fire started at the village. I lost both my parants. I didn't have any sblings. And I also thought I lost Edgar when he went to save his family. After that it started to rain. An old man found me and brought me into a orphanage. There I met Kou, Azusa and Ruki. Me and Kou got into a club for cute children. We got more food than others and pretty things but... Few men would come and bring us to a room. Where they hit us for fun. Both me and Kou suffered from it. But I always tried to keep a smile. Soon I also met Edgar again but he lost his memories. And he also changed his name. I knew there was nothig I could do about it. But Ruki wanted to escape. He even had a plan. That night when they wanted to do it I got taken away by another person. While they took me away I heard gun shots and thought they were dead. I lost all my hope in them...

But here they are now. Full grown, healthy... And vampires. In order to survive... They had to become vampires. And I? I became a monster...

''Candy are you alright?'' Yuma asked worried and looked at me. I just gave a nod. They all stood quiet and looked at me with worried eyes. It made me cry more.

After a while I finally calmed down and was able to get downstairs. Ruki was kind enough to make me soup. It smelled good and had a mild taste. But I still didn't say a word. I'm making them worried but I can't really make myself talk, not yet at least. I just want t sleep more and calm myself down.
