'Protect your sister,Gray'
"Marie"!, Gray shouted as he woke up trying to find his sister. Turning around Gray noticed her sitting down on the ground hugging her knees close to her chest while starting at were her parents to their last breath. Walking towards her, Gray knelt down on his knees as he hugged her tightly.
"Gray,tell me they're not gone. Please tell me",Marie said with tears falling down her eyes as she looked at her brother's face with hope that was sure to be shattered. "I'm sorry Marie, I'm really sorry",Gray said as tears fell down his face unknowingly.

After creating two tombstones for their parents, both Gray and Marie moved quietly out of town as they tried to find a way to the dark regions."Excuse me sir, do you know how we could get to the dark regions"? Gray asked as they came upon a farmer."The dark regions.Why would you kids want to go to a scary place like that?",the farmer said with a horrified expression . "Please don't concern yourself, just give us directions if you can",Marie said with a stern look on her face. "Well I don't know the route to the dark regions but you can join that merchant group, they're going near that region so I guess you could get there eventually", the farmer said, pointing towards a group of travelling merchants as they packed their things to to continue their journey. " Thank you for your help", Gray said as he and his sister walked towards the merchants. "Excuse me is this group heading towards dark regions", Gray said as he approached a lady his mother's age." Yes it is, but why do you ask", said the lady with a confused look on her face. "We were wondering if we could join you"said Gray." Sure you can, but I'll have to ask the leader so wait here, I will be right back,she said as she walked towards the first carriage in the group. "She's kind isn't she", Marie said with a faint smile. "Yeah she is, but we have to be careful we don't know what might happen if we join them" Gray said ashe crossed his arms over his chest. "Yes brother",said Marie as the lady returned. "Okay he said you could join us, but we won't be moving into the dark regions, we're just passing by, the lady said with a concerned look on her face. "Don't worry we'll get there", Gray said. "By the way what's your name"?, the lady said with a smile. " My name is Gray and this is my little sister Marie",he said returning the smile.
And with that they started their journey to the dark regions.

After travelling for a week, the group stopped to rest as night approached."Marie are you awake", Gray asked as everyone was asleep. " Yeah I am" Marie said as she sat up to. "Then listen to me. That man who caused all this, I'm sure he wasn't the only one in this plot, l can feel it l, Gray said gritting his teeth as Marie stared at him. "And when we find the ones who caused this we will show them no mercy. Their families are going to suffer, their comrades are going to die. Ever single one of them is going to hell pain even hell couldn't grant. And when that time comes what will you do"?, Gray said as he turned to look at his sister. Looking at her brother with cold determination, Marie said said something that shocked him. " Don't worry brother, I won't let you have all the fun, I'm going to torture their families right in front of them until they beg me for mercy. Smiling devlishly Gray ruffled his sister's hair. Thanks, at least I won't be alone in this. And with that they both slept peacefully.

"Marie wake up know"!, Gray said as he suddenly woke up to the sounds of screams and the smell of blood. 'Blood why the smell sound so inviting'. Pushing that thought out of his mind. Gray turned to his head to the corner of the tent as he saw his sister with her red eyes glowing bright and her nails growing to a very long extent."Blood, blood, blood". Repeating these words Marie started walking outside the tent. "Marie come back here", Gray said as he ran to grab her hands ,but the sight outside the tent stopped him in his tracks.
Every where around them the merchants were being killed by bandits while their wives and kids were being placed in iron carriages.
As he stepped out a bandit came out of know where and grabbed Marie by the hair, them all of a sudden a murderous overcame him and in the next second his hand was in the bandit's chest. "What the fuck",the bandit said, not realizing what hand just happened but as he looked at their eyes he saw the situation they were in. Guys there are vampi-". Before he could finish his sentence his head was sent flying from his shoulders. Marie who had decapitated the bandit was licking the blood of her hand with a creepy smile on her face. " More,I want more blood ", she as she continued licking her hand. Look at his bloody hand, Gray sniffed it and was assaulted with an aroma that smelt so good that he started salivating.
Then he glanced at his sister with fangs in her mouth as she bit the neck of a dead merchant. Looking at his sister feasting on the body of the dead merchant , Gray thought the same thing as he walked towards another dead body to feast on it. But then he stopped as he saw the women and children being placed in the carriages to be sold as slves. "Marie listen to me", Gray said as he shooked her from her dazed state. "I'm going to kill the rest of the bandits, so I need you to hide fo me okay, Gray said with a calm look. "But brother I can help you-"
" No I won't allow it", Gray said in a serious tone . " Stay hidden please"he said as stood up to leave but before he could Marie grabbed his hand. "Stay safe brother", Marie said as she squeezed his hand. Smiling Gray patted her head. "Don't worry I will",he said as headed towards the carriages where all the remaining bandits had gathered. Looking around he could count only five bandits and was sure there only five.
"We made some good catch boys, now let's have some fun, said one of the bandits which Gray presumed to be the leader.
Grabbing one girl by the hair the bandit leader started tearing her clothes to shreds, showing most her skin. Recognizing the girl as the one who got them into the group a vain appeared on Gray's head as he tried to move to help the girl. 'Don't do it's.
Suddenly hearing a voice in his head Gray got startled and nearly fell from the roof of a tent he was hiding at. Looking around trying to figure out who spoke to him the voice came again. 'In the last carriage, black hair,blue eyes'. Following the description, Gray noticed a kid around his age shackled in silver chains heavier than the ones used to restrain the others. The boy had a charming face with a mischievous smirk that seemed to be glued to his mouth. 'Look I know I'm handsome but now's not the time to be staring. You see that pervert holding that woman hostage,he has the keys to these chains and all you have to do is tackle him from above and hold him hostage while you pass me the keys'.
Hearing all this l, Gray thought it was a good idea but could he trust the guy. Not knowing how to communicate with the kid, Gray raised both his hands and crossed them together to show he didn't trust the guy. 'Oh come on, if you help me, I'll help you. And you can speak to be just thinking the words', the kid said.
Taking sometime Gray tried to think about he wanted to say. 'What will I gain if I help you ', Gray said with a stern look on his face. Smirking the kid said said something which Gray. 'You wanna get to the dark regions don't you.'
And sa he saw the expression on Gray's face he pressed on. 'I know a way to the dark regions, it's going to take awhile but it's the safest route into the dark regions.
Looking at the kid Gray contemplated on the matter at hand. Saving the lady on his own when he the odds were against him or trust a stranger who could help him fight the bandit, and also get him and his sister safely to the dark regions.
Sighing Gray jumped towards the bandit leader as his eyes glowed red. 'Fine, the enemy of my enemy is my friend'.
