Ice, blood and pain

The streets were covered with a fine snow, which only showed that winter had advanced and that it would be a difficult one, not only for the humans who were sheltered under a roof, it would also be for all those children who lived on the street, specially for Luna who was among them, who had a light wool jacket, which they had stolen from those clotheslines that used to be neglected by the housewives, but then the redhead noticed how one of those little ones had nothing that could cover him from that horrible blizzard winter, she could not help noticing that this was the smallest and thinnest of the group, so without further ado she removed that little coat and offered it to the little boy, who accepted it immediately, showing a bright look of gratitude, under those nostalgic dark eyes

The orphans of the place were all sheltered in the same place, they had all decided to stay in an alley on the outskirts of the city, where they had lit a fire and covered themselves from winter, here would be defined who would be the triumphant in life, because no all will survive, many would die from the cold of winter and others survived barely reaching a little stability, to continue fighting for their survival, it was the rule of the strongest, the rule of the food chain and of the streets, not only in that place, it was in the entire kingdom, because only whoever was strong enough would survive the attacks of nature and beings with more power than the other.

"Luna come here... stay by my side we'll cover ourselves together..." Alice, was a little blonde who had been abandoned since she was only five years old, the girl had gone through so much that she was still standing and giving a sincere smile, filling of love to her friend and friends, a whole warrior before Luna's eyes, who always observed her with admiration, seeing that human being so brave and loving, who without hesitation would have loved to take her with her to a life that no doubt for the redhead she deserved

"Alice, is all winters like this...?" Luna was worried about everyone, because the truth was she did not expect things to turn out in such a cruel way for the children, to which Alice made a grin and gave a passing look to each of the children who were in the place.

"This year we are more likely to survive than previous years, last year many died because we could not find a remote place to light a fire." The girl gave her a slight smile, something that made the heart of Luna squeezed in pain, because she did not know what it was like to spend a winter in the streets of Ahnaria until now, because although she was not treated with kindness and was beaten incessantly every time she arrived at Valeriam castle, she had a warm place to spend the night, although now she felt warmer on those snow-covered streets than in that place where she had been made to suffer endlessly.

"Look what we have here...food..." In the dark corners of the place, five pairs of blue eyes could be seen, which flashed the fierce hunger of those vampires, thus managing to paralyze the little ones, now completely sorry for having managed to slip away on the exit of the city, just to get a little warmth by lighting a bonfire, there was no doubt that it would be their downfall, covet something that they were not allowed, they knew there was a high probability that they would be attacked by starving vampires, but between knowledge and need, there is a short line that can be crossed by the mere existence of a fierce hunger to live.

Some, as soon as they could, immediately ran away, while others cried from the fear of seeing themselves as the dinner of those beings, since it was more than obvious that they would not have compassion on them, but then they heard the cries and screams of those who had tried to flee in search of to get away from evil, who had been the first to be devoured, which indicated that those were not only five, there were even more, it was their end, the end of all those children who were there just looking for a little life and warmth from that greedy fire that now only witnessed that heinous slaughter.

Alice, took Luna's arm, who was terrified, but she would not be intimidated by them either, she would not let anything happen to her friend, the one who had treated her like a sister and had supported her in every madness that she had proposed in her

moments of her strangest ideas, so she gave them a challenging glare, turning her eyes red and proving that she was not a normal human and that she would not let them defeat her so easily, that she would fight until her last breath in which only sought to protect his only friend.

"Luk... is she a crossbreed? The king of all will pay a fortune to bring her before him and take her heart out... he will give me a great reward for that there is no doubt" Luna could not deny that there was a great fear towards that vampire mentioned, It was well known that the king used to behave as a ruthless being, who hunted his race and did not show any kind of mercy to them, that king was the fear of the deepest nightmares of the girl

"I'm not afraid of you killer..." The girl was filled with courage and even more seeing that many of the children died before her eyes as they shouted and asked for help, while Alice was behind her, but then in a sudden movement Alice was no longer protected by her, Alice had been caught by one of them, but just when she was about to help her, two of them held her arms preventing her movement, while that monster laughed at her face while digging its fangs into the jugular of her only friend, as if to show that did not care what she did, that it amused itself in every breath of life that took from the only person who was kind to her, who with each gasp her Life escaped from her eyes, while Luna ferociously struggled to free herself from its grip, that was the end of her friend, she would die in front of her eyes and she could do nothing to prevent it, but then one of them said something that caused her a big chill

"Have you ever tasted the blood of a crossbreed? They say it's a delight..." Luna tried to give more fight to get her released, not only to help her friend, she also wanted to run away from them with her, but fear invaded her, the pain she saw in her friend was tearing her deep within, in which she gave a great cry as she felt a pair of fangs dig into her skin, deeply tearing her flesh and managing to make the fear leave her completely intact, but then that pain stopped and the weight that covered her arms had evaporated.

And that was the moment when she managed to see him, she managed to see those red eyes that looked at everyone around her completely angry and terrifying, those red eyes that she had previously seen in her, she had that look when she was angry, but this was different, black, dark, full of bloodlust and annihilation in its wake, fear had invaded the girl who felt her body give way little by little, because those beings had died in her hands, Luna could not believe what she was observing with her cloudy vision and it is that she observed how he removed the heads from their torsos and their hearts from each one of them, as if they were toys for children in very bad condition, he seemed to enjoy each death and each being that cried out for help, they experienced the same that those children suffered, now she only wondered if his savior would be good or bad? Because doing what he was doing was not categorized as being a good person, after all, he was doing the same thing that those vampires did with her friends.

Luna trembled in that place, she feared for her and even more when she noticed how this being approached her in an almost predatory way, she trembled with fear, she had already felt her life come to an end under those fangs, she felt weak, she had not been able to feed well In days, and now that disgusting vampire had stolen so much energy that she felt that she was fading there little by little, she could observe in front of her that monster was observing her in a different way, in a way that she could not decipher, but she could no longer do anything, because her body completely vanished with the only fear that she would be at the complete disposal of that being that would apparently end her as he did with the other vampires who had killed her friends, it was her end and she knew it.

Sebastián observed the girl on the ground completely submerged in unconsciousness, so he chose to kneel in front of her to get a closer look, but then he could see the bite on her neck, which filled the king with even more anger, he would have had a little more patience and he would not have killed them, he would have tortured them a little more because how dare they touch her? She was completely weak, dirty and full of ampoules on her feet, in addition to her skin looking dry and battered, his partner had been missing for several months, he cursed himself for not being able to find her anywhere, he cursed himself for not having arrived earlier, not being smart enough to get to her in time, he had been

in a terrible mood all those days in search of her, feeling completely useless and not being clever enough to have managed to find her, but seeing her there so weak and full of pain it had caused a great prick in that cold and gloomy heart of the jet, caressed the cheek of the little redhead which was completely frozen and dirty, in which he perceived that none of the hearts there had no movement, the only thing that was beating was hers, apparently those vampires had finished off all those children.

"Your majesty... I'm glad we finally find you." Dramux looked around him and could see the bodies of children and vampires, which caused great pain to see such a regrettable image "apparently they were nomadic vampires, those damned destroy everything in their path" Sebastián did not comment on any of it, he only took off his jacket and placed it on the frozen girl, to take her in his arms and take her with him. Trying to warm his little girl.

"Clean all of this..." he just decided to left, so Dramux gave a big sigh and noticed that disaster that the king had left with all those vampires, for the brunette it was a great pain to see those dead children, because they were innocent and Although many centuries ago humans were considered only food, for him it was never that way, it caused him great pain to see that ice field full of poor innocent children killed by the greed and hunger of his kind, when he saw the cruel death of the guilty at hands of his king, filled him with satisfaction because each one of them deserved it, without further ado he prepared to take care of all that great and tragic episode that would always accompany him in his head, along with many images that he would never be able to forget in his long and immortal life.
