Dawn Of Twilight

With about a month left for his birthday to arrive, Tobi suddenly started feeling a bit restless but didn't know why, because at the moment he was actually having the time of his life with his family.

Tobi didn't pay much attention to it, since he could just pass it off, like headaches, or rather a side effects from his mind world still link to those boys' minds, and the likes.

Soon those restless feelings kept on increasing. That night he had a dream, there were fire touches everywhere. His family was captured, he was bind in thick iron Cain's by some men in black garments.

Suddenly, he was tied in front of his family. He watched as each member of his family were killed by those men in black. Something in his mind world, all of a sudden opened, it had an intent to kill.

But he didn't know what it was, yet he could he feel its presence, the thing wanted him. It was hungry and raging, and it wouldn't stop until it took control of him. Opening his eyes, he could see a pool of blood on the ground.

Those dark figures, with all the villagers, and his family all laid down dead in a pool of blood. Looking at the pool of blood, he could clearly spot a figure. It had red eyes and two horns curling like a demon horn. Its hands were now claws, they were stained with clotted blood.

Suddenly, a high-pitched shrieked resound from him, his head raised upward in a loud howl.

"Tobi! Tobi!" A gentle voice urged. Opening his eyes with a gasp, Tobi found Bella looking at him.

"Little brother, are you okay?" Yeah, thanks sister am fine." He ȧssured, touching his body that was now made of sweat.

Now he was certain this was an instinct to a bad premonition.

Eventually, he told Bella to escort him to the woods, that he wanted to tell her some things.

"Why are we here?" Bella was confused.

Tobi had refused to give her any explanation, while still being inside the village, he had to make sure they were not being followed. He even performed a few Mana Busts to cover any tracks, with his increase in power, he was able to perform his technique bust four to five times a day now.

"First, don't get scared. Second, do not scream. I don't want to draw any unwanted attention."

"You are a vampire, and I think our life might be in danger."

"Wait! What?"

Tobi spent the next hour explaining to Bella about his theories about vampires, what they were, their abilities, and how they were awakened. She trusted her brother with her life, yet even after listening to everything that had to do with vampires. Bella found it difficult to believe such a piece of enormous news.

Tobi then showed her, the physical abilities of vampires, from their heightened awarenesses, fast reflexes, strength, speed, and finally the mind-controlling prowess.

Tobi did everything in front of her eyes, Bella gasped for air, as her whole world was turning upside down. She kept hyperventilating due to shock until her consciousness turned blank.

"Damn it, she fainted!" Tobi said."Too bad, I can't waste much time. Those people might arrive sooner, than usual." He lightly tapped, her shoulder.

"Goodness me! I had the weirdest dream...." When she opened her eyes and saw the deadpan serious look on his face. She realized it wasn't a dream, Tobi lifted her up as they sat on a tree branch, putting his hands on her shoulders to keep her calm.

"Is everything I learned so far true, then?" She asked after a silent minute.

"Yes, it's just the first part of a much more complex truth. The second part is why I am called a demonic child, think about it. Why would a group of people suddenly take children away? Claiming they were demonic children."

"What's happening? Are we going to die?" She embraced Tobi in search of warmth. Bella was so shocked, that she had yet to come off it.

"Nothing is going to happen and we are going to be just fine," Tobi ȧssured her.

"Yet we need to be prepared, so I need your help. There are many unknowns factors that I have no grasps on. But I know those children are special children, don't be afraid, if anything happens, some technique might be painful so you have to tell me."

"How painful?" Bella asked with a worried expression.

"To keep you and everyone alive, I will have to let them take me. Earlier I had removed the impurities from your body, turning you into a vampire halfling. I stopped as soon as I noticed your awakening, I have no idea how it would be in future terms, but now you will need to learn how the vampire's ways work."

"Lately I have been having a bad premonition, it likely an instinct that they will come sooner than usual. So you will have to protect the family for me when am not around." Tobi said.

The thought of leaving his family was unbearable.' I'll never be able to live with myself if they died, because of me.'

"What do I have to do?" Bella asked, even though she was scared, about her brother's life, and their family, she knew at this moment she had to be supportive.

Tobi then began to tell Bella about his theories, concerning those people and how he had this weird dream, and how everyone was killed by the black garments men including the villagers, and how he heard this sudden voice in his mind world, that emanated an intent to kill and when he opened his eyes he was in a pool of blood after transforming to a demonic monster.

He didn't want her to be scared, so he skipped the part of her life-threatening situation, those people might discover her and that was what he was most worried about.

If he wanted her to be safe, and protect their family. He had to explain to her how vampires usually work which involves their side effects, he didn't know the type of sun that would affect her or not, like the way it was to himself so she had to be careful.

"I still don't know much about vampire's growth, but they don't age easily. Being a vampire, the body undergoes a transformation that removes any flaw humans normally develop during their lives."

"If I'm correct, after becoming a vampire the body's stamina and vitality increase incredibly but at a cost 'Blood'. That is why a vampire body could heal grievous wounds, hence a vampire would rarely undergo any stress and if it does it would be only an instant."

"So in theory, since you weren't born a vampire. You grew with imperfections, after becoming one it grew very few, so you may or may not require much blood."

"So what do I have to do?" Bella asked.

"By making you a vampire, I've doomed you." Bella shivered in fear, but only held her hands tighter.

After, instructing her to sit legs cross. He explained to her both Mana Technique and mana accumulator, while he filled the air with natural mana.

"If you learn Mana Technique as a vampire, you can slowly nurture your body. If you feel no discomfort, it means you are ready for the second stage. If you learn Mana Accumulator, it can help you control your ŀust for blood and maybe act as a shield when it's sunny.

Bella sat legged cross on the patches of leaves Tobi kept on the ground, taking a breath after breath slowly following Tobi's instructions. She was scared, but at the same time kind of excited. 

Her brother was the one who healed her illness, even when people labeled her situation as dire and couldn't be cured. She had grown up expecting the worst, but her brother made her life normal, even becoming an important factor in his life. She felt rather grateful.

The idea of becoming a core factor of her brother's filled her with joy. She felt the high Mana density tickled her skin, she could almost feel the energy moving around her, seeping through her body forming a colorless phantom of a pin-size core.

'This must be the core little brother mentioned, now I guess I understand all what little brother had been saying, the heightened senses and this feeling of being overpowered.' Bella was amazed everything appeared magical and like a fairy tale.

'Such huge secrecy, even if I am forced to tell I won't. Without little brother I would have spent my life agonizing, and burdening everyone.' tears streamed down her eyes back to her past life.

"Is anything wrong?" Tobi asked the moment he noticed her strange behavior.

"Nothing, I feel weird that all," Bella said.

Tobi was baffled, was it really because of his techniques?

"Okay, now tell me how do you really feel?"

Bella took in a couple of deep breaths, from her nostril before answering.

"I feel hot and hungry. Is it normal?"

"Yes." Tobi lied.

'What the heck? Don't tell me she needs blood? It's my first time awakening a vampire too! As long as she doesn't pounds on me, it should be a good sign..' He thought.
