Inside what appeared to be a large Gothic-Victorian style hall, a middle-aged woman in a long, long dress and long gloves, both black with red details, also wore black heels and her face was not visible because only her appearance from the neck down was shown, but she seemed to be upset, she was sitting in an armchair while holding a cup of blood in her hands. The same drawing of the red moon that the pair of vampires had on their shoulder straps was seen on a pair of curtains.
And speaking of "The pair." They were in front of the mysterious woman while trembling "Can you explain to me why you DIDN'T fulfill your mission? All you had to do was be on Earth 2 days earlier waiting for the girl's capsule to arrive and kill her while she was weak. WAS THAT SO HARD TO DO?!"
The authoritative voice of the woman made the pair tremble more "We already know, Lady Belladonna, but a human child and some sort of blue raccoon took her before we found her, they also took the capsule" Echo says
"The Humans of Earth are weak compared to the Vampires of Amarant. They would have just drained them and that was it. How is it that a couple of members of our superior group Scarlet Moon lost to a pair of children? Inconceivable, ridiculous!" The chief vampire takes out a whip out of nowhere, lashing the pair in the chest, the reaction was pain and the skin of both with a trace of burning inside, the whip was decorated with vervain flowers, one of the weaknesses of vampires, as Lady Belladonna had her gloves, her hands were safe.
The pair fell to the ground screaming in pain from the burning effect of the vervain "S-sorry my lady! Th-it's just that the blue raccoon was a robot and had very advanced objects compared to the world it lives in, it also had a dimensional door like our group, they used it to take her and escape, and that pair knows our weaknesses!"
"A dimensional door? Knowledge about our species?" The woman just looks at her glass while playing slowly stirring the blood inside it "I thought Earth would be an easy target, its technology is more backward than other habitable planets, that's why we had placed it first on our list of planets to conquer as soon as we obtained power, that and because of the delicious and exquisite human blood there. But it seems, we have underestimated the Earthlings a bit."
The leader of the group stands up to go to a large window where the pair of moons could be seen. "It's vital to our plans that the only direct heir of the Vasilescu family be eliminated. Being a first-class vampire, she is very powerful. After days of traveling in the capsule, she must have run out of reserve food and being in a state of absolute hunger, it was our opportunity to destroy her because of how weakened she must have been in that state. Why were a pair of Earth children in the same place as you just at the time your capsule arrived?"
Lady Belladonna is startled, but her red painted lips are slightly visible, showing her fangs as she smiles. "I knew that first-class vampires could do that, but... Even with humans before meeting them? I think she has no idea of the power she possesses. She must have recovered by now, which is a great disadvantage."
The woman turns to look at her minions. "Very well, try to put an end to our problem in some way, if she finds out about our plans, she will want to return and accept her fate. Also investigate further into the vampire knowledge that the humans of Earth possess, we must find out everything they know in order to conquer their planet without problems."
"Yes, my lady, as you command." Demestrius and Echo leave the room where they were while the woman continued smiling to look at her cup. "If I had known that (small detail) a little more in advance, I wouldn't have chosen that planet, but human blood is the best I have ever tasted, there is no turning back with a treasure like that planet. Let's see how far you can go, princess."
With greed but also with elegance, the woman takes her cup of blood and licks her lips, wishing that her inconvenience would be eliminated.
Nobita's eyes slowly open, he sees that it was already night, although his room was darker than usual, he had fallen asleep for the rest of the day, although he looked at the ceiling of his room. He felt... Different...
"Is it night again? I fell asleep very much. I think I need to go to the bathroom"
The young man yawns and gets up as if nothing happened, for a moment he was surprised by the fact that he no longer felt weak, but the desire to (go to the bathroom) was getting the better of him, so with a hurried step he left the room, went down the stairs and entered the bathroom to do his business.
Once he finished that and left the toilet room, the boy feels like going into the bathroom to wash his hands, so he does so by going in there and opening the faucet of the sink to wash himself, although in a second he immediately startles when he notices something: The mirror of the sink didn't show him.
"EEEEEEEEHHHH?! And where is my reflection?!" Nobita runs out of there to go up the stairs and enter his room again, he also had a small mirror on top of his desk that his mother had gotten him, so he takes it and checks it: He couldn't see his reflection there either. "N-no way!" The boy leaves the mirror on the desk, approaching the cord of the light bulb on the ceiling of his room to turn on the light.
As soon as he does so, the boy feels discomfort both in his eyes and in his body "U-ugh!" But he could barely notice with the clarity that his skin was pale, in addition to the fact that his body didn't produce a shadow, before turning off the light in the room again. "Did... did it happen that with the bite...?"
Nervous and in the middle of the darkness, with a finger of his right hand and opening his mouth, he touches his teeth. Two fangs were also there, which confirmed his suspicions "A vampire... I AM A VAMPIRE!"
Nobita, in disbelief, puts his hands on his head, running in circles while crying as he always did when he was upset. Since he couldn't see his reflection, he couldn't notice that his charcoal-colored eyes were now red. It seemed like he was slowly transforming. "I don't want to be a vampire, I don't want to, I don't want to! Help me, Doraemon!" The young man tried to get help by slamming open the sliding door of the closet, accidentally breaking it because of the strength he now had, but he was even more surprised when he saw that the robot cat wasn't there. "Doraemon?"
He also tried to open the drawer of his desk but he didn't see any traces of the time machine. It was a normal drawer now. "I-Is it that... My future changed with this? No, no, no, no!" He looked around but there wasn't even the Doormat in the room. If he was pale from having stopped being human, he was paler now. "Not even Selene is here. I need to find her."
He leaves the room, as he goes down the stairs he trips, but instead of falling, a pair of black wings come out of his back, just like the vampires who wanted to hurt him had, with a flutter, the boy ended up lying on the floor of the hallway without hurting himself, the boy notices this and his level of nervousness only went up "Și am și aripi?!" (And I have wings too?!)
The boy starts again, the changes in himself continued "Acum vorbesc romaneste... Acum vorbesc romaneste?!" (Now I speak Romanian... Now I speak Romanian?!) "Eu-nu înțeleg nimic! Trebuie să găsesc pe cineva, mi-e frică!" (I-I don't understand anything! I need to find someone, I'm scared!)
With hope in his chest, Nobita slides the door of the living room where his parents slept at night while hiding his wings, but there was no one there either, the curtains were open showing the patio and the night sky, although the moon was strange: It had a powerful red color, almost like blood, he couldn't stop looking at that moon while he knelt on the ground, nervous, scared... ALONE
The boy couldn't believe what was happening. He knew that being a vampire meant a new life, but a life depending on blood to avoid dying, and that if he didn't control himself, he could hurt others, he wouldn't be able to go out into the light ever again, he wouldn't be able to enjoy his favorite foods because they wouldn't taste the same, it was the life he had from now on. But above all, it awakened one of his greatest fears: Being alone.
An immortal life, for others it would be like a gift, but he knew that meant he would have to see those he loved grow old and die in front of him while he would take years, even decades to reach adulthood now. He didn't want to be left alone, he felt an emptiness inside him, neither Doraemon nor his parents were with him.
"Eu-Nu vreau să fiu aici singură" (I-I don't want to be here alone) Nobita hugs himself while trembling placing his face on the ground, though, he only has one person left, so taking a deep breath he raises his voice looking up.
"Selene! Unde ești?! Mi-e frică, nu vreau să fiu singur! Selene! SELENE!" (Selene! Where are you?! I'm scared, I don't want to be alone! Selene! SELENE!)
Once again, Nobita suddenly woke up, but he was back in his room, lying down looking at the ceiling. It was daylight in all its splendor, but he saw that one part of the room was dark. The boy felt something under his head...
It was Selene, who already had the violet eyes that she had lost due to lack of hunger, but now she was fine. She had knelt down and used her legs as pillows to rest her friend's head, so the first thing he saw was Selene's face smiling at him worriedly. She was surrounded by a veil of darkness coming from the ceiling. There was a flashlight with a night bulb illuminating the vampire down with darkness, so to speak. That way, nothing would happen to her even in daylight if she didn't leave that small space of darkness. She didn't have her shoes on for obvious reasons of tradition indoors.
The platinum-haired girl stroked his hair like a mother would her child when he needed comfort. For a moment, the boy didn't say anything, he was perplexed by the curious situation he was in. "I heard you call me in a suffering tone, it seems like you were having a nightmare. Do you feel better now?"
Just then Doraemon enters the room slowly opening the door, he was carrying a small plate-pot of rice soup that was covered so it wouldn't get cold "Sorry for just bringing you food, I was bringing it to you earlier but Selene peeked in while you were taking a quick nap, she looked worried, so I used another night light to make room for her and went back for the food, I had to heat it up again but..."
The blue cat sees the scene, Selene was smiling while Nobita looks at him perplexed, but he immediately turns red in embarrassment for being treated like that by a girl, the robot only shows a mocking smile "Oops sorry for bothering you, I'll come back later"
The boy immediately sits down upset, still with a red face and waving his hands "HEY, SHE WAS JUST TAKING CARE OF ME FROM A NIGHTMARE! I-I MEAN, DON'T TALK NONSENSE!"
"I'm not saying anything, just be careful of altering the future too many times, remember this isn't like those teenage novels with fantasy creatures like the ones high school kids read" Yep, Doraemon was enjoying joking around for a while.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK NONSENSE!" Selene notices the interaction between Nobita and Doraemon and can't help but laugh quietly because she found it adorable how a couple of friends teased each other but it was obvious that they loved each other. "Oh no, how embarrassing" Nobita covers his face with his hand in shame as Doraemon approaches them, the boy feels a little bad as he turns to look at Selene "I guess since you can read my mind, you also saw my nightmare"
"No, don't worry, I respect privacy, besides, I can't see other people's dreams or nightmares" Selene says with a loving smile ("If you want, let's just talk with our minds to each other when we need privacy between us or when we're far away or in trouble, okay?") Yes, she said that with her mind.
Nobita is startled, but smiles confidently ("Of course, that's better.")
Although Doraemon couldn't hear that conversation of thoughts, the gestures of the pair of boys nodding and smiling at each other already gave him an idea of what they were doing. "Hey, stop talking in your minds. Nobita, you have to eat or mom will get upset."
"Oooood." Nobita takes his plate, uncovers it bringing it closer to him, thanks for the food and takes the spoon to start eating, but Selene immediately takes it away from him.
"Don't worry, I can help you with this. It's the first time I've seen human food, although I think it would taste different to me because of my diet." The vampire takes some soup with the spoon, blows on it and smiling brings it to Nobita's face "Come on, say aaah. Eat and get better"
Nobita turns red again while his head is steaming, no wonder he was about to be fed by a girl he just met yesterday, Doraemon smiles mockingly again sitting next to his friend "Y-y-y-y-you don't have to do it, I can eat by myself, I can move better now, don't worry! I-i-it's just that I feel sorry that you go to so much trouble for me"
"I want to help you get better, after all it's my fault that you're weak. After eating, I'll tell you everything you need. Ok?"
Nobita just looks at those violet eyes that kept looking at him, although he felt it was nice how she wanted to take care of him, he still felt ashamed of that gesture, but if he wanted to know more about her, he had to let her help him, so he just smiles without stopping turning red "O-okay, t-thanks"
The boy opens his mouth so that she gives him the spoonful of rice soup, all that while Doraemon laughs quietly "See? I told you that she only trusts you"
Nobita exhales "Fine, you win, but stop smiling like that"
