It was December, a blanket of snow laid upon the ground, sparkling in the moonlight. The Akumu royal family was throwing their normal Christmas party.
Kanki loved how everyone in the clan had accepted her, then later her’s and Zerko’s daughter, but… that might only be because Zerko was their leader, making their daughter the clan’s princess. It didn’t matter though. Evr since she met Zerko 10 years ago and ran away with him, she had finally become truly happy.
Kanki pilled the covers over her daughter. She hoped that Nikki would love her life with Eechi, like Kanko did with Zerko. Eechi was the boy that was arranged to marry Nikki on the day of her birth. Luckily, Eechi and Nikki adorded each other, even though they are four years apart in age.
Kanki looked up at the door as her husband’s head appeared in the door way.
“She asleep yet?” he asked.
“Yes, Dear… I was just about to come to bed. She said she felt like sleeping with the locket on.” kanki said, walking over to Zerko.

Nikki set up in bed, yawning. She looked out the window. The sky was a bright orange red.
“Is it really morning already?” Nikki whimpered, rubbing her eyes with her sleeve.
“Oh… my locket with mommy and daddy in it!” She said looking around until she remembered she fell asleep with it on.
She swung her legs over the bed and head for the door. She froze as she heard crashes and screaming all around her.
Nikki ran down the stairs, looking for her mother and father.
“M-mommy? D-daddy?” she whimpered as she looked for her parents through the mob of people who had glowing red eyes and blood dripping from their mouths.
“Nikki! Run!” came her mother’s voice.
Without really thinking, she ran… She ran into the woods near the village until she couldn’t hear the screams any longer.
She kept running until she was almost to a stream. Nikki tripped and fell just a few feet away from it. Pushing herself up yo her knees, she started crying. She was crying so hard, she didn’t noticed that she was covered in blood, or the three vampires walking towards her. The smell of blood making their eyes glow red.
