Part 17: Come Clean.

I took a deep breath and finally explained briefly about my life, "Well, before my awakening as a vampire, everyone was very good towards me. Well, since you're a vampire yourself even though you are a new-leveled one, you might experience awakenings right?". He nodded. I continued, "Until it's time for my awakening, my father whispered that 'I don't have to do it if that makes me unhappy. I'll protect you even if it costs my life'. The next day, I was presented upon the Dracula and was given a human that they had captured to show my proof of being an adult vampire. That day, I refused to drink the blood of that human and the whole vampire and the Dracula said that I couldn't stay there no more. Well, I was awaken 4 years ago so, I had been enduring those bullies for 4 years. But then, my father exchanged places with me and the very next day, Cyano came to feed me with bloods that he got. Her sisters always came to bully me since then and as an apology, he had come to serve me those blood."

He finally said, "But, why didn't you suck his blood?"

"Because, I could feel his fear, his horror. I didn't like his expression," I replied. "Now's your turn."

He who was sitting in front of my finally muttered, "The day when we were found, I couldn't remember anything except the bunch and my very own name. I don't know how, back then, I was the only one who had awaken as a complete vampire, a new-leveled vampire. The bunch's powers was awaken when they're in their 10th birthday. Before the awakenings, everyone was looking down on us. Since that I was the oldest and was the only one who wield that prowess, I need to protect them and that's how I became a bully. Since that I couldn't stand them being weak, I bullied them so that they can be stronger. Dad always pushed me back then since I was the only one who's strong back then so, I couldn't feel the sensation of being a normal kid. Being pushed towards something that you didn't want and finally, expressed my stress in the wrong way by bullying them. They didn't mind the bullying at all and just bear with it. Even so, I'm glad that dad treated me that way since I could protect them when they were weak."

"I see. So, what's with 'that' thing about?" I finally asked.

He was hesitated at first but finally, let out a sigh and answered, "You know, since that I was the strongest especially in mind-control, I used that to... You know, made them do embarrassing stuffs like being lovey dovey and such."

His eyes were staring towards the checkered floor, and was kind of embarrassed about his statement.

"Laugh all you like since I'm the devil of the house," He covered his face with his right palm. I burst in laughter and leaned behind his back. I could feel his heart beating fast since that mine was also doing the same. I hope that that time could stop for a moment when finally, the door was opened and all the seven figures stood in front of us, giving a sly smile. Mom came towards me and gave that warm embrace of hers.

"You poor thing. Mom will never leave your side, ever!" She replied.

"MOM?!" Hans exclaimed, a bit astounded.

"Well, you're just too cunning to pretend that it was nothing when you really are in love with that girl?" She smiled.

His face flushed very brightly and he retorted furiously, "I never said that?!

"Oho, can you prove it?" Kyle walked in. "With that kind of posture, there's no doubt!"

Lyle joined the mocking, "Miss Natalya, how does it feel to be Mrs. Royard?"

Ruth came and hugged me, "Big bro you're sly! Don't keep all the romance to yourself when this lady is so cute!"

I could feel an evil aura emitted from Hans body. He stood up and said, "You guys really don't know how to value your life."

Charle, Luce and Luca retorted simultaneously with that anxious look on their faces, " We aren't involved!"

"Of course you are. If not, why are you guys here?!" His face showed that of the fearful tiger who would rip off his prey anytime he wanted.

"Lady Natalya, we begged for your mercy," Ruth said while hugging me tightly.

Hans came and separated me from Ruth and said with the aura still lurking around him, "Oh, well then, you really want to experience 'it' right?"

Ruth gave that puppy eyes of his towards me, giving an emotional attack. I gulped and said, "Instead of bullying them, take me instead.". I didn't understand why was I being so bold. If he did something outrageous... No!

"No! Who knows what'll Big Bro do towards you! His a guy and you're a girl! It's not worth it and we want to keep you in the way you are now until he officially married to you!" Charle persuaded.

"What the hell?! They way you're describing me as if I'm a gigolo or something," He muttered and his tone kind of off.

I blushed. Bat finally found me and hugged me with all his might, "Mistress! You should be sleeping by now! And what's the fuss?"

The atmosphere grew into an intense silence, the feeling of inconvenience. break up the silence, saying, "Hans, promise me that you won't hurt them?"

He frowned and finally said, "If you're looking for me, I'm in my room. Oh, I won't bother those child-like bunch. So 'uncool'." He smirked as he paced away from us.

All of them let out a sigh of relieve that they were saved from that deadly abuse of his. For now...

To be continued.
