ShadowLands

Shadley Kuzamoto and her brother Damien Kaname Zero Kuzamoto grew up in a castle surrounded by a vast forest. Growing up the two siblings were very close and as thick as theaves. There was a village about three city lengths away that they and their parents would go visit on the weekends. They enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the village, how beautifully the village lit up at night, and all the different people ranging from human to supernatural. Being royal vampires, they played nice with the other supernaturals in the village but they weren't welcoming to the supernaturals if they found themselves on the Kuzamoto land. The siblings enjoyed playing with the other children of the village while their parents walked around the village admiring new things that were brought in from vast lands. It wasn't til the siblings turned 16 and 17, in human years of course but other than that age was just a number they never really cared about, that their parents was brutally murdered by a pack of werewolves while out in the forest that surrounds their land. The siblings found their parents weeks later because it wasn't like them to not return after two weeks to check up on the children. The siblings knew then that they were now the only royal vampires left and it was up to them to protect the castle and their land. They would continue the tradition of going to the village every weekend and walk around the village admiring the vast beauty of it. Years passed by them. One day while walking in the village Kaname caught sight of thee most beautiful woman he had ever saw in his life. He was a strong independent man but found himself stuck in place and lost for words when the woman walked up to him. "Hi" she said with a harmonious smile. He smiled back "h...h...hi" he stumbled over his words. She giggled and it made him blush. "What's your name?" she asked her voice holding a perfect melody to it. "Damien Kaname Zero Kuzamoto but everyone calls me Kaname" he replied. "What's your name miss?" he asked. "Lilith Asia Lolita Arcana" she replies "but everyone calls me Lala for short." They talked for hours and parted ways but not before making plans to see one another again. Kaname returned home with a smile and a pep in his step. "Brother, where have you been all this time" asked Shadley. "I've been down in the village and got lost in my thoughts and met a wonderful woman" he replied. "A woman" said Shadley a bit curious. "Yes, a woman, dear sister she was the most amazing woman I have ever met. She's breath taking. I'm seeing her tomorrow" he says all excited. She was taken back by his words and stormed off. He didn't really notice because he was lost just thinking about Asia Day after day Kaname and Asia would meet up in the village talking and walking, admiring the sights, and holding hands. They grew fond of each other. Kaname and Asia started dating and he started coming home less and less til he was only coming home once a week to see his sister. Eventually, 6 years later, Kaname and Asia married in her village about 10 miles from the village he grew up near. Shadley came to the wedding reluctantly and tried her damnest to stop the wedding and remove Asia from the picture but she lost in the end for her brother chose a woman over her. 10 years later Asia found out she was pregnant "Kaname darling, I'm with child" she said with excitement. Kaname smiled from ear to ear that he soon would be having a child, a hybrid child. You see, Asia is a witch, the last of her kind, that she knows of. "Babe, that's amazing," he says "I can't wait to meet our son or daughter." She smiles all a glow, "nor can I darling, no can I." Shadley started getting angry because her brother stopped coming home but once a week and she knew he chose a woman over her. One day when Kaname came home to be with his sister, she wasn't around. He came home to tell her the great news. He knew his sister wasn't happy with him that he chose Asia over her but he wanted love and he gets that with Asia. Word spread through the village of mysterious deaths, what appeared to be bodies drained of blood and bites on the body. The village officials classified it as animal attacks. Kaname knew it was a vampire attack just by the description of what happened to the bodies. The death toll rose in the village like the plague. Kaname grew suspicious but continued to visit home once a week. One day Kaname enters the castle and smells blood. He ran around the castle following the scent until he ended up in Shadley's room where she had attacked a man. "Brother" she yells jumping off the bed half naked. "What have you done sister" he said demandingly. She stood tall in front of her brother and said "I killed him." He looked at his sister no remorse evident on her face, "have you been the one killing villagers" he asked concern spreading across his face. "I have, whats it to you. You're never around. You left me here alone. I had to do something to keep myself preoccupied" she replies triumphantly. "I have been coming back to see you but you are never around and now I know why. I came to tell you my dear wife is with child. You are going to be an Aunt" he says in dismay of her. "Hmmm, dear do you think I honestly care about your little witch and your spawn. I could careless. I too am with child from the man I just killed. I have been seeing him and when I found out I was with child I invited him home with me, seduced him, and killed him" she replies with a mischievous smile. "How could you kill the father of your child?" he demanded. "I will have this monstrosity and I will throw it away like you threw me away. NOW GET OUT" she screamed. He left the castle never to look back, thinking to himself on his journey back to his wife "I feel for you dear nephew or niece, I will come for you when I know you have arrived," he shakes his head at what his sister has become. He made it home to his wife and told her everything. His wife had a heart of gold and mourned for the fallen villagers and the unborn child. "Darling, you know how long a vampire pregnancy last. When the child is born find your way there and bring the child back to us. We will raise the child properly" she says in a low sorrowful voice. "I will my darling wife" he replies. Kaname and Asia built a new bigger home for them, their unborn child, and his niece or nephew. After the house was built Asia began decorating the home while Kaname built all the furniture and placed them piece by piece where Asia wanted them. Asia sewed clothes, pillows, cushions, and more for the furniture, home, and the children. Kaname foraged for food for Asia so that she could eat and have a healthy baby. Months went by since Shadley threw her brother out. Time was coming and she wanted the beast out of her. She went into the village in the dead of night and took a girl of 18 years and brought her back to the castle where she became a slave to Shadley and her every whim. The girl was compelled to help Shadley have the baby when time comes and to dispose of the baby away from the village and to come back to Shadley where the girl will become Shadley's food. Shadley smiled inwardly to herself that she had it all figured out. She would have the monstrosity, have the girl dispose of it, have the girl come back so she could kill the girl, and then her last plan is to taunt her brother and his wife for years before killing them and that little spawn of there's. Shadley screams out in pain, "get over her girl the beast is coming." The girl rushes over with a clean cloth and sits in front of Shadley's opened leg just as the baby comes out, she wraps the baby up and starts to stand when she sees a head, placing her hands on the head she frees another baby and wraps it up. She presents twins to Shadley but Shadley bares her fangs and screams "GET THEM AWAY FROM ME, GET THEM OUT OF THIS CASYLE, DISPOSE OF THEM LIKE YOU WERE TOLD GIRL." The girl leaves the castle with the twins as she walks to the village. It's been 5 months now and Kaname is on his way back to the castle to fetch his niece or nephew. He bumps into a young girl holding babies. "Excuse me miss, you have very beautiful babies", he says. "They aren't mine, their hers" she says pointing up toward the castle. "Where are you going with them" he asks. "I was told to dispose of them" she replied. Kaname notices then that the young girl has been compelled. He looks the young girl in the eyes "give me the babies, go home and never listen to the lady of the castle again." The girl handed the babies to him and she ran away. He quickly hastened himself home with the babies making it back in 2 days time. "Babe" he chimes out as he walks through the door with the babies. Asia comes down the stairs and grabs the babies from me placing them on the couch while I sit next to them. "Oh darling, they're absolutely adorable" she says as she unwraps them and scrunches her noise up to their uncleaned bodies. She quickly gets up and grabs water a rags and comes back and cleans them up. Putting diapers and clothes on the babies and wrapping them up handing them to me. She picks up the old rags they were swaddled in and notices writing on them. "Darling they have names, look" she says and shows me. "That young girl mist have named them" he replies. "Hmm, so the girl is Harley and the boy is Lykin. How beautiful. Your beautiful niece Harley and handsome nephew Lykin. I love the names" she sings out. "I do too" he replies, "we will raise them to know that we are their aunt and uncle and that our child is their cousin but if they wish to call us mom and dad and our child their sibling then I won't stop them." "I think thats a glorious idea darling but I really hope they call me mom" she says. They went on with life as normal for a few more months when it was time to deliver their child. Asia's friend the midwife came in and helped her deliver a beautiful little girl, cleaned her up and wrapped her up handing her to Asia. "Congratulations" said Asia's friend before leaving. Asia and Kaname fawned over their daughter for a bit. "What shall we name her babe" he asked. "She shall be named Ayame" she hummed. They smiled as Asia put a diaper on her and dressed her and wrapped her back up. They put Ayame in bed with the twins. The children grew by the years and played and frolic getting dirty and laughing and have a gay ol' time. Kaname and Asia watched the children day in and day out playing and enjoying themselves. "Daddy, mommy, come play with us" the children ring out. Kaname smiled hearing his niece and nephew call him dad and his wife mom since they were raised to know that they were the niece and nephew. Shadley made kind to her words and started tormenting her brother, wife, and children not knowing that the twins are actually her children. Years passed as the torment continued. Kaname and Asia had had enough. The children were 16 now and were able to be alone. "Children" said Asia up the stairs to the children. The children come running down the stairs. "Yes mother" they respond. "Your father and I are leaving for a few days to go have a talk with his sister about what she's been doing to us. Stay in the house. You have plenty of food here" she says. The children nod "ok mother, have a safe trip." Kaname and Asia journeyed to his homeland. Three days later they make it to the castle. "SHADLEY" Kaname bellows out. Shadley comes out to the castle gates. "What brings you here brother" she says. "Don't play stupid. You know why we're here" he says anger evident on his face. She laughs out "what, can't take a joke." "None of it was a joke. You have been tormenting my family for years and it stops now" demanded Asia. Shadley bared her fangs and hissed at Asia. "You have no business being her witch nor do you have business telling me to stop" Shadley seethed. "ENOUGH SHADLEY" yelled Kaname. "This ends now. You have tormented me, my wife, my daughter, and my niece and nephew for the last time. You will stop this now or I will make you stop" he demanded. "Niece and nephew you say. So you found my slave and compelled her to give my spawn to you. I will kill you and your witch. Then I will kill your hybrid and those demon spawn" she laughs out menacingly. Asia grabs out a wooden stake imbued with silver fire and hands it to Kaname as flames burst from her hands. "Very well, then we'll kill you now" he says. He takes off and lunges at Shadley but she moves away quickly as Asia throws fire at Shadley missing each time. Shadley is much faster them after consuming so much human blood over the years. Shadley swoops in and beheads Asia as Kaname screams grabbing his beloves body, Shadley jams her hand into Kanames chest and rips out his heart and breaks his neck in one fail swoop. She wipes her hand clean of her brothers blood and kicks his deceased body. Weeks pass and their parents haven't returned home. They know something bad has happened to their parents. "We should search for our parents" said Lykin. "We can't, we promised mother" said Harley. "Besides, father warned us about Aunt Shadley and how she can be. We can't take that risk. If she did do something to our parents then I'm pretty sure she'll come for us next" said Ayame. "We can't take that risk Lykin. We have to stay safe like mother and father told us." said Harley. "OK, ok, I understand. I'm the man of the house now so I have to keep you 2 safe" he says. They nod in agreement and mourn what they believe to be the last they'll ever see their parents again. Day after day they readied themselves for Shadley's arrival but she never came. Days turned into months and months then turned into years. Years passed and the children are now 18. It's been never ending torment for them wondering and waiting on if Shadley was ever going to come after them.. A knock comes at the door. No one has came to them since their parents left. They look at each other and choose not to answer the door. "Open the f*****g door you demon spawns and hybrid b***h. I'mgoing to kill you like I killed your parents. I'm going to rip your f*****g heads off your shoulders and then I'm going to plunge my hands through your chests and rip out your hearts." Shadley yells. They stepped back silently as tears filled their eyes. They knew immediately who it was even though they've never met her, they knew. The twins look at each other and then to Ayame. They heard stories about Shadley from their father about what kind of vampire she is and how she is. They go to a trap door under the rug where their father told them to go if Shadley ever showed up and they weren't around and to talk the tunnel to safety. They climb into the entrance closing the trap door behind them which just looks like a rug since Kaname fastened the rug to the door. In the tunnel they make their way through it. They walked about a mile before they heard a loud boom, yep Shadley just destroyed the house. They continued walking through the dark damp tunnel for what felt like days until they finally came to an opening. Stepping out, they shielded their eyes from the sun as they blinked several times before lowering their hands and adjusting to the light. They look around, deep blue ocean to their left and a forest to their right. "I can't believe she killed our parents" said Ayame. "I can't believe she told us how she killed them and how she's going to kill us" said Harley. "That woman is pure evil, thats all there is to that" said Lykin. "I'm sure she'll make good on her words so we should probably find a safe place and figure out how to train ourselves to be able to fight and protect ourselves when she finds us again" said Harley. "Thats a good idea" Ayame and Lykin agreed. The twins and Ayame set off into the forest to look for safety. Shadleys jealousy and hatred towards her brother for leaving her for another woman, marrying, that woman, and having a child with that woman destroyed Shadley. She sought vengeance and killed her brother and his wife and went after the children to kill them but the children were gone. She vowed to find the demon spawn and kill all three of them in one fail swoop like she killed her brother and his wife and like she killed her lover. (Shadley feels like a woman scourned, like her brother was her soulmate and he betrayed her.)
