Dracula and his Brides flew to see Mino. Today is her fifth birthday. They saw her from their hiding spot. Her hair was wavy and in cute pigtails. She was growing so much. She looked so much like her parents.

But Dracula knew that she'll grow to look more like her mother.

"Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama!" Mino shouted as she ran around. "Mino. Don't run!" Anna told her barefooted daughter. Gabriel grabbed his daughter and placed her back on his shoulder. Now the back of her head laid on his chest.

Mino squealed and giggled with delight.

"Is this child being a problem?" He asked, then kissed his wife. "She has no shoes on. She can hurt herself." Anna said. "No shoes!? No shoes!? Well. We'll need to fix that right now!" Van demaned.

Mini giggled Agian.

Her father sat her on the trampoline. Anna brought her daughter's shoes and socks to her husband. He put them on his daughter's little feet.

"Mommy? People are coming?" Mino asked. Anna nodded. "Yes child." She said. Mino cheered.

Van and Anna watched Mino and Valcen jump on the trampoline. Then guest started to arrive.

The Count smiled as he watched the birthday girl. 'What a cheerful child.' He thought. Amused.

They watched as Mino played with her gifts. Sharing with her friends.

Her father walked up to her and handed a handcrafted bow and a quiver of arrows. Mino squealed in delight. Her dad helped her with it.

Just as she released the arrow, her aim went up. The arrow went flying. But not where she wanted it to go.

Her shoulders slumped. "I missed." She said, disappointed. Her mother got down to her height. "Then go get it." Anna said. Mino smiled, revealing her two front teeth missing.

She nodded and with the families dog, ran after the arrow.

Anna slapped her husband's chest. "A bow? She's five." Anna said. Van chuckled. "Valcen is learning to use one. I think she should start to learn." He defended. Anna huffed. And rolled her eyes.

Mino giggled as she searched for her missing arrow.

Soon the dog started to tug on her birthday dress, whining. Mino pointed at the dog like she's seen her mother do when she's telling someone to stop. "Stop it." She ordered. The shadow that was following the child chuckled quietly.

Amused by her greatly.

She pulled her dress out of the old dog, that was trying to warn her of the danger that was after its owner, mouth. She continued to search for the missing arrow.

She was starting to get angry that she couldn't find it. She started sniffling in sadness and anger.

"Umph!" She walked into someone. The person caught her before she could and on her butt. Then helped her up. She dusted herself off.

"Are you looking for this?" A man asked. Mino looked up and saw him

He was probably in his late 20's. His black as night hair was in a small ponytail. The darkness of his hair brought out his very pale skin. He had dark eyes. And an evil aura. She didn't trust this person.

Her parents told her about stranger danger. And she knew that this stranger was danger.

She felt it in her gut.

He held out her missing arrow.

"Can I please have my arrow back?" She asked politely. Holding out her hand for it. And holding onto the whimpering dog beside her.

The man chuckled.

"I'll give you it back... but only if you give me a nice big hug. Deal?" He asked. She hesitated. But then timidly wrapped her arms around his legs and squeezed. She squeezed her eyes shut.

And when she felt him place a hand on her back, she quickly pulled away.

Then she held out her hand.

"Mino! Sweetheart?" They heard Anna call. "Till we meet Agian. Dear Mino." The man said, then handed her, her arrow. He then left.

Mino quickly ran to her mother.
