Thread: A twist of fate for little Red. [Himeko x Lilly]

It had been a long day and the sun just didn't seem to want to set for some odd reason. Himeko had woken up just an hour ago and could feel the heat from the sun on her door with the back of her hand. Her house was dark with only a candle to light it up. The house had to stay dark at all times of the day, for she was a vampire and the sunlight would kill her. She sighed and walked over to her desk and began writing another chapter for her book. It was all she could do until the sun went down and it was safe for her to step outside. She was a foreigner to these lands, to the village that was nearby. She lived away from the rest of the humans, they knew she was up here but never thought of her as different from them, after all they didn't even know she wasn't human like them. She moved to America about ten years ago from her old home, Japan. Oh how she missed her home, her friends, but they've all been long dead for over a hundred years now. The old life she had once lived was taken away from her ten years ago. Ten Years Ago It was cold and storming outside outside, no one would really dare go outside at this time of night. They all knew what awaited them if they dared to venture outside. Even the Shinsengumi didn't dare step out of their training halls. What in the hell are you doing? A boy who looked no older than 23 called out to Himeko in Japanese. Sorry Hikaru, I couldn't help but think that there's something not quiet right here... She replied as she caught up to her friend. He was a vampire like her, the one who originally turned her nearly a hundred and ninety years ago. Himeko was only 19 when he had turned her and she had been by his side ever since, her friends had all died from the same disease that would have taken her own life had Hikaru not saved her. She owed this man her very existence, but something was not right and she knew it. It was a sinking feeling that was in her stomach and she just couldn't shake it. They moved swiftly and quietly as they were hunting for food. They hadn't fed in a few days and they needed to feed tonight. Wait up! She called out as she smelt fire burning in the air. A fire? But it's raining out, so how could there be a fire? Something was really wrong now and she couldn't help but feel as if something horrible was about to happen. Hikaru, do you smell that? He turned to look at her when she questioned him and nodded. I do Himeko, but how? She looked around and saw where the smoke was coming from and a shiver ran down her spine. I don't like this Hikaru... Please... Lets just go home and feed tomorrow night. Hikaru had walked over to her and placed his cold hand on her shoulder. We cannot put feeding off another night and you know this! We HAVE to feed tonight. Forget the fire and lets just go. He turned his back to the fire and started making his way in the same direction they had been heading before. Himeko sighed and nodded as she turned to follow him. When they got to the house they were going to invade, they were attacked by the villagers. Hikaru had sensed them but it was too late, they had been seen and they were in trouble. Himeko run! Get out of here and go find safety! He yelled as a arrow pierced his chest. Hikaru had pushed her out of the way and went into his blood form. A blood form for a vampire is like going into a blind rage, tearing everything up in sight. Himeko couldn't help but cry, she had been with him her entire life and couldn't bare the thought of leaving him behind. Hikaru I cannot leave you! She cried out as he turned to look at her one last time. Don't make my death be in vain god damn it! Just go and if I DO happen to live I will find you no matter where you go! And with that he turned back to the humans to bide her time to escape. You better make it out alive Hikaru! She yelled, tears streaming down her face as she turned and fled leaving him behind. She had traveled from village to village, always traveling at night and keeping herself safe. It had taken her three months to reach American soil, but she finally made it. It was safe for her seeing as there hadn't been vampire reports or anything. Just the reports of werewolves, a vampires true enemy... Present Day Himeko sighed quietly to herself as she stared at her wall, remembering that night as if it all had happened yesterday. She stretched out and got up from her seat to see if the sun had gone down yet. She walked over to the door and placed the back of her hand against the door and felt it was slightly cool, which was a good thing. She slowly opened the door and no sunlight came in. Smiling happily she opened it fully and walked outside. Her friend would be visiting her soon and she was happy. She had managed to make a human friend who knew and accepted her for who and what she was. Closing the door behind her she made her way to their usual meeting spot.
