The sound of a closing door echoes throughout the silent Maaka mansion, consequently grabbing the attention of those still awake. The Maaka family scion jumped to his feet as the sound reached his sensitive ears. "Ren! Finally you've returned! Do you have any news on Karin?" he asked frantically. His son looked away, clenching his fist in anger, "There's nothing, it's as if she dropped of the face of the earth. All my contacts came up with dead ends as well"

The others in the room all had varying reactions to this information. Edna, Karin's grandmother, scowled, angered to be in such a situation after just being awakened a few days ago. "I'll see if I can't find out a few things." She said as she stormed away. Calera was currently in a different part of the manor with her youngest daughter, Anju, taking care of Kanon; the newest of the Maaka family vampires. Boogie, a doll with a killer's soul tied to it, left in the room by Anju, was thinking about how to appease his mistress. Boogie knew without a shadow of a doubt if Anju became emotional enough over this fiasco, seeing as her sister was really the only thing she ever got emotional about, she'd go into a rage and he'd be ripped to shreds in the crossfire.

Kenta sighed and turned to leave the room, "Where are you going?" questioned Ren. "Being here waiting isn't going to change anything. I'm going to the guest room… I have some things to think about." Kenta answered slowly, closing the door softly behind him.

Henry turned and walked towards the window, gazing out into the grey haze. Turning his head just slightly, he glanced at his son, before returning his gaze to the world outside. "He's right, it's no use. We'll just have to wait for Mother to come back. Perhaps she was able to find something where we could not."

In another part of the mansion Kanon was getting ready to settle her thirst. As her grandmother had explained it, from what she could remember -not much mind you, seeing as how her hunger had almost completely taken her over by the time they made it to the house- each vampire had a certain 'type' of blood that appealed to them best... or something like that. 'Ugh! My heads all fuzzy and it feels like someone dropped a buss on me. Why does it hurt so much? ... I'm so thirsty… I can't believe mom is from a family of vampires. I can't believe I'm a vampire… ugh, thirsty…'

Calera walked back into the room, blood-pack in hand. Throwing the before mentioned blood-pack to Kanon as she passed her on her way to the couch. Glancing at both her daughter and granddaughter she says, "It... It's great to finally meet you Kanon. Though you may not know us we know you, very well in fact."

"Wait what? What do you mean?" Kanon interrupts, looking up from her meal, blood slowly dripping down her chin. Anju smiles slightly and hands Kanon her handkerchief. "We were always watching, looking over you and the rest of the family, using our bats and other minions during the day, when we could not be there… We saw what happened when your mother… Karin… my sister… lost the-" Anju broke off, a flash of tears spilling down her cheeks was seen before she turned her back to them, gazing out into the forest surrounding the Maaka Family Mansion.

Blood splattered everywhere, dripping from even the ceiling. Hand and claw marks alike littered the walls, a half-broken doorway, skulking forward and glancing in, a broken bloodied mirror lay at eye level. Seeing no reflection in the mirror the being continues to stumble around, leaving tiny bloody footsteps in its wake. Tripping over a body, layed twisted gnarled and unrecognizable; the being falls to the floor, catching its reflection in the shimmering red liquid. A garbled, tortured scream echo's as the being sees reflection in the pole of blood.

"GAHHHHHH AHHHHH AAAHHHHHH" Screamed Karin, jerking herself up from the bed and awake. "What happened, did I really do those things? Where am I? I don't understand!" she whispered to herself, sobbing silently.

She covered her face with her hands shaking; noises to the left of her cause her to stop and lift her head from her hands glancing over. A shock of blonde-white hair and then a sultry voice says, "Good morning Miss. Maaka, or should I say Mrs. Usui? I'm so happy you could join us", a small smirk at the words, "I just want to ask you… Did you really think we wouldn't find you? Or them?" the blond scoffs, "Enjoy your stay, you'll be here for while"

A look between extreme panic and fear had come across Karin's face…
