[This is a flashback]

Aimlessly, Haru wandered into the dull living room. Her eyes travelling around the room, curiosity took over her body as she stared towards the frames on the wall, the coffee table that had seen better days and the old TV that never really worked. Haru's small feet tapped against the solid wooden floor, making her existence very well known in this quiet room. She felt so lonesome, melancholy yet at the same time at peace due to the lack of people and sound. Everything had fallen silent, only the faint sound of cars as they passed by to head towards their desired destination. Haru let out a sigh, her breath being visible in the cold winter's air. She turned her head slowly, looking towards the dirty windows as the thin curtains flailed in the breeze, allowing the air to run free throughout the small apartment that Haru called home. At this current moment in time, Haru was all by herself. Alone. Her mother had left Haru to fend for herself a couple hours ago. Her mother was out working, but fortunately her father and brother Yuichiro was to be coming by any minute now. It seemed rather odd to Haru, but she had only met Yuichiro recently yet she felt extremely close to him. Her brother was only a year older than her seven year old self, and it made her happy as she could easily get along with him and his somewhat reckless behavior.

Haru's eyes because glassy at the thought of her brother. She didn't know him very well, did she? He always kept a smile on his face, as did her father, yet for some reason it seemed like he didn't like Haru. Maybe it was because her father said that she was to be kept a secret from Yu's mother. As Haru was only young, she didn't really understand the point of her being a secret. In her opinion, she was a delightful child that never did no wrong- but that may just be her childish instincts and vanity. She began to feel like Yuichiro's mother might hate her if she found out about her existence, but why? Who would hate a child?

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Haru smile. Her feet pattered against the oak floor as she lunged towards the door and clutched onto the handle, pulling it downwards and forcing it open. She knew that if her mother was home she would've been scolded for opening it, her mother always mentioned something about 'debt collectors' and 'social workers' yet Haru didn't know what that meant. Once the door opened, Haru's bright eyes flashed in excitement as the door revealed her father and Yuichiro.

"Daddy!" She squealed cheerfully, running into her father's loving arms and enjoying his warm and tender embrace. She always loved her father's visits- even though they weren't often- as she always felt loved, compared to the times her mother would show her way of love, that in fact wasn't very loving at all. In fact, it was rather abusive. Haru looked towards Yu who smiled awkwardly towards her. Haru's eyes filled with joy as she ran towards him and hugged him, ignoring his scowl and attempt to push her away. He slowly gave up and hugged her back.

Her father let out a tired sigh, rubbing his hands together to gain some warmth whilst the cool air nipped at his skin. Goosebumps covered his body to notify his lack of body heat. "It's far too cold for the windows to be open, Haru," Her father groaned, heading towards the window and slamming it shut. "I'm guessing this is your mother's doing, wasn't it?" Haru nodded silently in response, looking down in shame that she hadn't thought about closing the windows sooner. Her father smiled, rolling his eyes and turning the heater on. "How typical of her."

Haru stared at her father, thinking about him. He hadn't been somebody who seemed important enough to be in Haru's life. He rarely visited and he didn't make much impact to her life, and she doubted that he ever will. Her mother and father would always argue, even over the most pathetic things. Somehow, Haru would be dragged into the arguments or be exposed to their cruel nature as they threw heartless insults towards one another. It made Haru wish she had been left at an orphanage at birth, it seemed like her parents didn't even want her. Her father would always call her mother a 'useless parent with a beat down job' or 'a low life prositute'. Mother wouldn't hold her tongue as she gave her insult too such as 'a cheating scumbag who doesn't know how to be a father'. Haru had started to believe that her parents had a love-hate relationship. Perhaps it was because they had their own problems to deal with.

Haru's mother wasn't really the type to deserve the title of being a mother. She was a prositute, selling her love to men she didn't know nor care about. However, due to the fact she didn't have a good education or background nobody was willing to hire a nobody with a lack of experience in the world of work. Prostitution was the only way for her to live and survive, even on a borderline poverty wage. Her mother was also on the brink of depression and had mentioned on several occasions about how suicide seemed like the best way out. She took various pills and drugs every night, causing her to have emotional outbursts and abuse her daughter as she always drank alcohol. She would also cry and blame Haru for all her problems. Her father was the one who did this. He wasn't getting along with Yu's mother so he cheated on her, causing the birth of Haru a couple months later. However, neither her mother or father were happy about her birth.

"Hey, Yuichiro," Haru said softly, peering into the kitchen and seeing her brother make a glass of water. The raven haired boy turned, looking towards his younger sister and taking a small sip of his cold beverage. He looked her lazily, waiting for her to continue. "Why do I have to stay a secret to your mother?"

Yu's face darkened, his eyes becoming filled with rage and pure disgust. "Maybe it's because my father is a cheating bastard and my mother is a suicidal wench who will to kill herself," Yu said, his tone showing how the thought of his parents sickened him. Haru knew he wasn't lying. She had heard him crying and wishing to die, and even her mother told her. Yu's parents wanted their own son dead, claiming he was a demon spawn and if he was to continue living the world will be in danger. Haru thought it was pure nonsense.

The door opened slowly with a creak as Haru's father entered the room with a pale and malicious face. Yu's eyes filled with tears and horror, causing him to drop his glass. Everything fell silent, only the sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the kitchen. Glass shards danced through the air, hitting the tiles. Haru's father raised his hand shakily, grabbing Yu's arm and slowly yet forcefully pulling him towards the front door. Haru's body went numb, only her ears and eyes chose to work as she watched the scene before her. Yu shed tears, screaming out for some kind of help or salvation. Her father showed no mercy, dragging the boy out of the apartment without a single word. Haru felt the tears pour down her face, she was weak and she hadn't helped Yu.

Haru collapsed on the ground, tears rolling down her cheeks as she watched her mother fall. Her body limp and blood trailed from the corner of her lips. Her eyes were wide open, staring directly into Haru's glassy eyes with a look of worry. She was dead. Her chest didn't rise to show her breathing. Her lips were dry and beginning to turn blue. Her skin was colder than ice and her hand lightly twitched as her eyes became dull, showing that her life was over.

"Mother!" Haru screamed out, recoiling away from the corpse in desperation. Her mind told her to see if she could somehow save her parent, yet her body was sickened by the thought of the corpse that it naturally cowered away from it. Why was her mother dead? She hadn't overdose on any weird drugs nor had she had any alcohol. Maybe it was a heart attack? Or just her body had finally given up. The room remained silent, the sound of crying children echoing throughout the streets. So it wasn't just Haru who was dealing with this?

"Haru..."

Haru looked up, her eyes blinking in confusion.

"Wake up."

Haru sat her quickly, clutching onto her chest as she breathed heavily. Sweat covered her body and her clothes stuck to her back. It was merely a dream. A memory. An illusion. Her hair had stuck to her forehead and her eyes were filled with tears. She turned her head slightly, flinching as something cold touched her hand. Her eyes widened as her gaze looked with a boy who possessed hazel eyes. Mako. Her shoulders slumped, feeling at ease. It had only been recently that she had suffered from these terrible memories, even though she had tried to hard to forget everything. If only she could get amnesia, forgetting everything and starting off fresh. However, that could never happen. If she would forget, she wouldn't remember her brother or her reason for living. To find Yuichiro. She hadn't seen her precious brother since her father snatched him away, although her mother had said that he had been taken to an orphanage.

"We have to hide," Mako said suddenly, interrupting Haru's trail of thoughts. He gripped tightly onto her hand and forced her to rise from the bed she had slept her, the covers falling weightlessly to the ground. "The vampires are on their way."

Haru's eyes widened and she jumped out of the bed, running into the spare room of the beat down hotel and shaking the small children in the bed. "We have to go!" She screamed, catching the children's attention as they all followed her.

After the death of her mother, Haru had decided to take on the role of a parent after meeting Mako at an abandoned airport just outside of Tokyo. She and Mako travelled throughout the city and had rescued children from the grasp of the vampires as they continued to look for livestock. Fortunately, she had never been caught. She didn't understand why she had chosen to protect these children, maybe it was because she herself had been as weak as them. Vulnerable to pretty much everything. She didn't want children to live a life as sad as hers, so she chose to give them what they never had. Love. All the children she had helped were all from abusive backgrounds, and thanks to her all of the children had forgotten their pasts and looked towards the future that seemed bright.

The children suddenly screamed as a window smashed, a tall cloaked vampire entering the building with an emotionless expression. Haru gritted her teeth as the vampire edged closer towards her. She suddenly kicked the table in front of her, causing it to block the vampire for a short second.

"Run!" She screamed, pushing the children towards the door.

It was too late.

Another three vampires had entered the room, blocking all exits. This was it. Haru was done for, as was her precious family. Mako ran past her and went to kick the vampire, however his mission was cut short as the vampire picked him up by the throat and began to strangle the child. Mako's body trembled as he turned his head, looking directly towards Haru and only Haru.

Run. He mouthed to her. He never shared a glance with any of the others, only her. Did he not see them as important? Maybe he knew it was already too late for them. A vampire with lilac hair entered the room, his expression was joyful as he donned a white uniform. He obviously was a vampire with some importance as he lacked a hood like the others. He walked towards one of the trembling children, eyeing the child's next as he grabbed them by the throat and sank his fangs into it. Small droplets of blood trickled onto the carpet, staining it. It was a reminder.

Vampire's were the hunters, and humans were the pray.

Haru slowly walked backwards, shying away from the vampires who paid no attention towards her as they slowly killed her precious family. Haru turned her back from the sound of crying children and bloodshed, running into a wardrobe and curling into a ball. Maybe she was going to die like them. Her blood would be drank and she would be left to rot as a corpse with no significance. The faint sound of Mako's cursing and screaming was all that could be heard as the vampires converse about how Mako was going to be important. Haru wanted to run out of the wardrobe, risking her life for her companion and save him. She didn't move. She didn't try to save him. Instead she sat in silence as the room mimicked her silence after the sound of the vampires leaving.

She was all alone once again.
