(SCHOOL ENDED YESTERDAY MUEHEHHEHHEHEHEHHEEHHE- *cough cough cough*, I'll post a little more now. Hope you enjoy!)

I don't know what happened, but the vampire feed thing got to me, I felt it enter my thoughts.

The people's screams....

The horror on their faces....

I opened my eyes, my gaze sharpening. And, went into my, "hunting" mode, well, that's just what my dad calls iy. I stood in the middle of the training center. Waiting for the cardboard-cutouts of Vampires pop up. I, in the "zone", turned and shot every one of them with agility and the faint step of my shoe. I was darting in every direction, shooting with just a glance and a finger on the trigger.

My father said, after this, we can go to a vampire feeding ground and practice my skills for real. He knew I was ready far before today, but I guess it's just because the feed is in a matter of days. Of course, sometimes the vampires try to throw us off by starting way later or a little earlier before the deadline, so I'm assuming I should be ready for anything.

The machine stopped and I lowered my crossbow. I let a small breath before looking serious again. I looked over at the entrance with a swift motion. My father seemed surprised to see no fatigue taking effect on me.

Father: "...Your ready."

I nodded, I knew what he meant. Today's the day, I guess....
I sighed, and followed him. I saw a guard following us, before another one came by, holding a thin, metal chain, and a small child cuffed to it. I quickly tried to catch my father's attention.

Shuichi: Why... is there a child coming with us?

???: Hey! I'm fifteen.....

I looked back at the 'teenager'. They had black hair curling upwards, with a tint of purple at the ends. His eyes were a deep violet, and was looking away in annoyance.

Father: Did I tell you to speak, prisoner?!

He kicked the kid in the stomach, causing the black haired male to fall backwards, but as if nothing happened, the teenager stood up and looked back at him, with a wide smile.

???: So What? I have free will~

The kid gave off a slightly creepy vibe when he smiled like that...

Father: Grrr... you won't be saying that soon...

My father growled, before sharply turning around.

Shuichi: ......who is he?

I quietly asked after a while. I felt like the situation calmed down a bit, enough to talk to him.

Father: Our bait. He's sweet-blooded, perfect for luring vampires.

Those words sent a chill down my spine, this... this kid might die! No, no he will die!
I was thinking intensely before realizing we were within the feeding grounds. I subconsciously fell back a little, to where I was next to the short male. I should probably protect him... The guard un-cuffed the kid and shoved him into the clearing.
I quickly pulled out my weapon and stood in front of him, looking slowly in all directions.

Where are they....?
Almost on cue, a vampire shot outwards, leaping for the kid. I shot the vampire with nearly no effort. More of them came, I shot them all in the head, I've been prepared for this... this is the ultimate test... those thoughts circled my head as I shot all of them. One of the vampires lightly cut the kid's cheek, causing me to shoot that vampire and get extremely hypersensitive to movement and sound, the rest of the vampires were a breeze, even if the blood drawn just made more of them come.

Eventually, they all gave up. Many bodies scattered the grounds, I sat down and gripped my chest, panting a bit. My father came over and pat me on the shoulder.

Father: You did good, son.

I smiled. The other kid was in shock, but wiped the blood of his cheek and ran into the forest before they could cuff him again, which was a pretty risky move.

Father: Oh well, he'll be dead in the morning.

My father helped me up and we walked away from the grounds. I felt a pang of worry seep through my mind. Would that kid be ok? He's a sweet blood, there's no way he has a real chance to survive.. he will die! Oh well, I hope the best for him... but, still....
I sighed.

I entered my mansion, calling Kirumi to make me some meals.

It was a little past 5pm, three hours left... since my father forces me to sleep at 8pm. Although, I stay up a little later and might fall asleep around 9 or 10. I sighed. I collected a small amount of the food leftover and approached my room. It was steadily becoming nighttime, as I sat on my bed and ate my meal. It was peaceful. The quiet of the halls, the faint murmur of the wind as it blew by the trees... you could say something poetic about it, like 'All seemed to be at rest, peacefully sleeping under the sun.' I'm not a poet, but that's how I would describe it. My room was quite PlAiN , the walls were covered in neat, flowery wallpaper, the corners of each lined with blue paint, while the flowers on the wallpaper were blue. It was quite nice! I had a small, pppplain twin bed. (AHHHH CONTRADICTIONNNNN, I accidentally made his bed a king bed and now it's a twin bed, i knoW. Just go with it, it's a TWIN BED. oki? TWIN to the BED, just to clear that up) I know, I'm being a prince and I have a tiny bed to sleep on. It's a little stupid.

I lightly chuckled to myself, imagining myself as a holy king sleeping on a small bed that might cost 30 dollars. Pfft...

Even though my family is rich, from being hired to exterminate vampires in an area, my dad wouldn't want to.. "spoil me", or something. That seems way more stupid then having a bed that's only slightly bigger than average. The window of my room was placed perfectly, to where I could see it from my bed. As well as it would shine light on me every day I woke up. Well, my room was a little small, to the left, my bed that was beside the wall, which had the wide window, that covered most of the wall. I liked looking out of it, or putting a pretty flower I find in the woods right on the windowsill. I smiled a bit to myself, I then put in my earbuds and listened to some nice music.

Tap tap tap

I was interrupted in my sleep by someone knocking on my window, I... already fell asleep? I never usually fall asleep around 6pm, but I guess I was really tired.... I looked around, taking my earbuds out and slowly getting up to look at the window.

Is that....?
