Kyouka Hiiragi ~ 15 years old
{T H I R D  P O V}
The moon is shining like a pearl and spreading its light through the abandoned place. The world has endured an apocalypse, humanity has crashed. Still some people are finding hopes now, growing up with hopes for a better day. The girl was trying to escape her building for a new type of adventure. She knows that she will be scolded by her brothers afterwards but she can't and will never deny the thrill she's is having now. So she has to take the risk - for the sake of a new adventure. 
She walks through the dark alleys. It gets narrower with every steps. She looks around, the area is remote. With no sign of livings, nothing at all. The utter silence creeped through her soul. 
Something is not right
Suddenly she halts hearing some small voices. Thanks God her steps are silent. She slowly follows the small voice. She knows it is the most stupid thing she can do now but in her defence, dangers loves her more than she does to herself. 
She halts at the scene unfolding in front of her. 
Someone cries for help and she halts. She looks at the origin of the cry. Her eyes widens, fear engulfs her like mist. She gets chills, shiver runs through her spine. 
A vampire was sucking someone from the Army's blood. The back of the vampire's hair is kept in a braid that comes over his shoulder. A hair tie is at the end of the braid. His back is board and muscular. He is not wearing any thing that related to noble vampire. But she doesn’t have any cursed gear now. 
"Fuck Kyouka. You should run right now. Rather you're noticing small details of something who would kill you right now!" she mutters to herself. 
She turns her back and runs with her lungs, with her dear life. She knows if she stops right now, she wont be breathing the next moment. The idea of going out was the most disastrous thing she could ever think of. 
Her steps are slippery but she cant stop. No, Never. She is running through the narrow dark alleys, through the darkness to the light. He is still not behind her, maybe she is lucky to not get noticed. But still she can't stop, not now, not until she reaches her place. It will cost her dear life. 
Her heartbeat makes her breathless, her limbs shaking. Pure adrenaline ignites her more as she runs. Her feet are stomping and it hurts so much. Stupid Kyouka Hiiragi! How can you be so stupid being a Hiiragi? Kureto is going to lock you again, putting all the blame on Shinya and Guren. 
"No need to run anymore Little lamb.!" 
Her body locks as a terror alarms in her ear. The sinister voice creeps through her soul. She looks behind to find the origin of the voice but found no one. 
She has to halt at sight in front of her. The same red haired vampire standing in front of her, with a sadistic predatory gaze at his eyes. No she wasn’t lucky, she never was. He was just playing with her mind. Now she has no way to escape now. 
She swallows hard, thinking a way, just a way to escape. She can't run right now, he is way more faster than her. So running would only be a waste of energy. She looks at him again, noticing his every expression. 
He is tall and muscular, wearing a  white army shirt which has a rigid collar back at his neck. The shirt features eight large brass like buttons, four on each side, they are situated vertically down his abs in parallel lines. A cape extends from his shirt reaches down to the back of his legs. The front of his hair is red, with a small part flowing on his forehead. His beauty is breathtaking.
" Kyouka you fool!  You should be trembling in fear, not praising his beauty." She curses under her breath again.
The sadistic gleam in his eyes fades when he glances at her bracelet. She looks confused and keeps her hand close to her chest. His eyes widens at that sight, her confused look. 
"Huh? Who are you?" He asks. 
Huh? What the hell! Why is he asking about herself? Why is he not started fisting on her already? What is he plotting to do?
"I can ask the same! Who are you?" She asks back.
Fuck fuck fuck! Has she gone mad? Has she lost all of her wish to live? This is a suicidal move! She should have kept her mouth silent.
He looks at her, his face full of surprises. She is wishing that he would come closer to her and suck her blood. But he doesn’t. He chuckles at her word. 
This is not right! Her calculative mind couldn’t calculate any of this. Only if she had a cursed weapon now... 
"Ahha.. My bad my bad. I'm Crowley Eusford. A 13th Progenitor if you say.." 
She gulfs again. How foolish of her to think that she could win against him with just a cursed weapon. He would just kill her within a second. No he wouldn’t. Vampires now keep them as a livestock. 
"Now could you tell me your name?" He says again.
"Kyouka..!" She somehow replies. Cause no way in hell she would tell a vampire that She is Hiiragi, knowing all the lovey dovey relationship between them. 
"Kyouka, that's a nice name I must say..!" He praises. 
What the hell is happening! Why is he praising her all of a sudden? 
"I don't understand..!" She speaks, out of confusion. 
His eyes glow a bit, a thug smile covers his lips. "What is it little lamb?"
"Why are you not sucking my blood already? I do not have any weapon now.." She speaks comfortably. Why is she feeling comfortable all of a sudden? He didn’t harm her yet. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t. 
"If you had, you wouldn’t stand a chance by the way..." He chuckles again..
Touche!
"That doesn’t answer my question." She demands for an answer.
"Hai Hai.. Okay Let's just say that you remind me of someone."
"Huh?" She frowns.
He doesn’t listen. He is lost in his memories, memories of good times. She assumes cause his eyes glow up again. He looks at the star. 
"Someone who is very close to me, or perhaps was." He says. 
"What happened to her?" She couldn’t keep her curiosity within herself. 
"That's a long story, little lamb." He forces a smile. A long sigh leaves his mouth as he looks back at her. 
She gets her answer as the glow of his eyes fades. Maybe she left him, or worse.. Died..
But her brows frown in irritation. Why does he have to call her 'Little lamb'?  For God's Sake she has a name and as far as she remember, she told him too.
He looks back at her. "You should go now. It's getting late.. Dangers are everywhere now.."
"I've just encountered a danger I assume.." Sarcasm drips her voice as she speaks.
"Huh? Oh you did. But I don't think others will leave you that easily." He replies with the same amount of sarcasm.
He is right, she thinks. No vampire will show someone mercy not when she is all alone and vulnerable. She steps back and says, "I am going and thanks for leaving me this easily.."
Crowley looks at her eyes and chuckles. She is built different really. What was her name again? Kyouka.. 
Crowley mutters to himself, "Kyouka.." 
"Yes?" Kyouka raise an eyebrow.
"Nothing at all. Go home little lamb." Crowley says again. He doesn’t want Ferid Bathroy to find Kyouka. Because as much as he knows Ferid, he will never let Kyouka go. 
Kyouka swirl and starts walking. When she is out of sight, Crowley slowly starts following her, only for her to arrive home safely. She is now with another human being with white hairs. That human being is scolding her but Kyouka doesn’t really mind being scolded. After a moment, Kyouka is on that human being's back and both starts giggling. 
Crowley feels that his little lamb is safe right now. He looks at her once again and mumbles. "Why do you resemble her so much?"
