[This is a flashback]

"Stop Thief!"

Haru continued to run, her feet pattering against the concrete floor. She hissed as she felt glass and other sharp pebbles cut her bare feet. She pushed passed the crowds and gripped tightly onto the loaf of bread that she held so tightly in her hands. She wouldn't steal unless it was necessary. She was starving. Her hood flew down and revealed her face as she noticed the man she told from running closer to her. Picking up her pace, Haru could feel her sides aching and her chest began to burn.

"Oh no you don't!" The man said, gripping tightly onto her hood and forcing her to fall over. She let out a small yelp as she dropped the bread load and fell to her knees, hissing at the graze on her hands and legs. With glazed eyes Haru looked up and gasped at the sight of a man before her. Never had she seen a man like him. He donned a black coat with red and gold detailing, dark hair and he possessed eyes of violet. "Ah, Luitenant Guren! This here is the thief everyone has been having some trouble with."

The man kicked Haru on the back of her head, causing her to cry out. "P-please, I just wanted to eat. I've starving for days and I have nowhere to go," Haru said softly, her voice cracking whilst being on the verge of tears. Her eyes becoming glassy while the sounds of Mako's screams echoed throughout her mind. Her eyes were wide and she covered her eyes, mentally begging for the torture to stop.

"What's your name, Kid?" Guren said, crouching down in front of Haru and smirking.

"Haru," the girl said softly.

"Haru? What's your last name?"

Haru looked down, tears falling down her cheeks. "I don't have one anymore. I have no family so what's the point in having one?" Her small and frail hands clenched tightly into fists, her dirty nails digging into her palms as it felt like the only way she could contain herself.

Guren looked up at the man, who had a face like thunder, before shooing him away and throwing him a small handful of coins. "This will cover the price of the bread, correct?" The man nodded before turning away, scowling at Haru from over his shoulder. "Now, Haru, how would you like to gain immense power? I'm sure you have somebody you want to avenge or save?"

Haru gasped, the memories of all her friends smiling and being genuinely happy flashing past her. She remember being with Yu and laughing with him, fight with him, and begin a family. She remember Mako confessing his feelings for her and offering his protections. Her mother smiling as she baked cookies and apolgised countless times for not being the best person to grow up with. Going to school, talking with friends and loving her family. That was what she wanted to avenge.

"I'll do it."

"You are aware it will be painful," Guren said calmly, standing up and offering his hand to Haru. "Are you still up for it?"

Haru furrowed her brows, raising her hand and taking Guren's as he lead her towards a vehicle that was surrounded by guards who held guns. Haru looked around at the people, noticing their looks of pity and sorrow yet she pretended to act oblivious. Her main objective was to kill the vampires that took Mako and to find Yu.

It was dark. The entire scenery lacked any natural lighting, instead depending on lamps and candles. The walls were dark and chains hung from the sides and were connect to the ceiling. It was like a jail cell. Nothing was placed inside the room, all except a single chair. It's purpose wasn't really well known until Haru became conscious. The sound of her harsh breathing echoed throughout the chamber. Chains rattles and rubbed at her wrists and ankles and she could feel wires connected to her head. Needles were tucked tightly into her arms, releasing unknown liquids into her veins and spreading throughout her entire body. At this moment in time, Haru could see. She had come to believe she was blindfolded, or merely on the brink of death. Sweat trickled down her back as she heard footsteps.

"Now, let's give you the power you deserve."

Haru screamed, her throat burning like wildfire. Her body trembled and she could feel her muscles twitched, tugging at the chains that bound her to the chain. She rolled her head, rolling her eyes into the back of her head and screaming. She bit onto her tongue, hoping that she could kill herself but instead she received a copper taste. The salty tears fell out of her eyes and soon Haru began to cry tears of blood. Her leg twitched against the floor, pattering loudly. She felt the needles release more liquid into her body, causing her body even more grief. She screamed again. Harder. Louder. The blindfold fell off of her face, onto the floor. She looked up and noticed Guren staring at her.

Suddenly, Haru fell silent. She leaned forward, resting her head on her knees. Her eyes were wide and staring downwards and occasionally twitching. She could hear everything. The sound of the wind outside, the birds and whispering from people in different rooms. Guren's heartbeat was also easy to hear, she could even feel his breath leaving his lips. Her hands began to tremble, begging for something euphoric. Salvation. Something to ease the pain. Her nose twitched at the smell of blood. Her blood. She breathed in and smelt the salty taste of sweat on her tongue. Her muscles were tense and she looked towards Guren, directly into his eyes. Her eyes focused, despite being far from Guren she could see every detail. The faint wrinkles by his eyes, the scars on his face and even the smallest of details in his eyes.

"What have you done to me?" She asked.

"We made you stronger," Guren said. Haru screamed, standing up and causing the chair to fall backwards. Guren flinched as she tugged at the chains that prevented her from moving.

"Tell me what you did to me!"

"We were able to manipulate your body. We've increased you hearing, taste, sight, touch and strength in order for you to be as strong as a common vampire," Guren said, looking at the noteboard in his hand. "The only thing we didn't do was turn you into a vampire."

Haru fell silent. She was as strong as a vampire. A common vampire. "Anything else I need to know about myself."

The sound of a gun echoed throughout the room and Haru looked up. Everything moved slowly as Guren held up a small gun and released the bullet, which also moved slowly. Her eyes widened as she moved forward, cursing at the chains restraint. Her hand raised and picked up the bullet and once her hand made contact with the bullet, everything was back to normal.

"You're speed has changed, in case you didn't just notice. From now on you can run at the speed of a sports car, see from over a two hundred meters away and hear anything when you focus on it." Guren walked closer to Haru, looking down at her. "I'm going to release you, so don't kill me." Haru nodded, sighing in relief at the feeling of the chains falling off her wrists. "Starting today you are the first successful test project. Your last name will now be Toren."

Super short chapter (I know), but I will re-write this soon so the detail will be improved and it will be much longer. This was the end of some of Haru's background. How was it?
