Pretty New Me

When I was looking in the mirror, I could see a very pale child of 10 years with long black hair touching the floor. My hair is very silky and soft to the touch. My lips are red as blood, and they are so plump that anyone would want to take a bite of them.

But why would anyone bite my lips? I guess my adult mind is messing with my pure angelic mind and body? But the main attraction of my face is my Heterochromia. My one eye is red as a ruby and shining like a jewel, and my other eye is dark as the night sky, without any star or moon. It is like a mini-black hole that can suck away anyone's breath and hypnotize them. I have a pretty nose too, but my teeth are a bit abnormal. But normal for my current race.

I have four pretty fangs that look like canines, but they aren't as big as I saw in the movie series in my previous life. Now when I try to smile, I feel like I look like a bit of a villain and am intimidating, but who cares? I will be pretty like Lyra in the book when I grow up. But I think Lyra in the book and I are the same person.
When I started to think about that, Lyra, I heard the sound of a voice, and it came from the mirror—I mean Bao. The little girl in the mirror turned into a seductive woman who has a curvy body and long black hair like mine, but I cannot see her face. Her face is hidden by darkness, but her voice indicates she is a heavenly woman. Although I cannot see her expression, I can feel she is very irritated for some reason.

"WHY DID YOU GIVE ME SUCH A NAME?" An angry, devilish voice is coming out of the mirror, but I can feel the hostility in her voice."Um, are you angry? Bao is not a bad name; I want to call you cutely and be close to you; we don't seem to get along well, so I just wanted to tease you a bit; I didn't know it would be like this, sorry", I said apologetically.
"It is ok then, humph. I said I am part of you; how can you name me so childishly? I was the greatest one. Oops, I cannot tell anyway; you must talk with your father and know about this world and how to control your power well. Now I am trying to neutralize different types of power in your body, as you know almost nothing about your origin or your life purpose. I already relayed the message to your father's mirror; he would tell you more details, but now I have to go to slumber, but when I wake up, I want to see you good at controlling your magic power…"The mirror stopped talking after saying all of these things. But I want to see my dad and aunt's mirror, too, and also know more about me and that mother of mine.

After naming Bao, I can also feel a link between us. I feel like she is a part of me. I should care for her more and not fight with her so that she won't sulk anymore. But for now, she is in slumber, and maybe you are wondering why I am addressing her as she. As far as I know now, the soul inside Bao is the soul of a female Vampire, but I don't know who she is. For now, I can feel her power, although she is restrained by the power of the mirror. I will ask for details about it from Bao after she wakes up from her slumber, although I know she won't say much. I have to find everything on my own, slowly.

I am feeling hungry, but if I expand my senses, I can only find multiple moving masses of energy here and there in the mansion and in my new home. I tried to follow them, but one of the biggest energy fields caught my attention, and when I tried to go near it, suddenly it tried to send me back in a gentle way. After that, without warning, Aunt Echo came into my room, and I was surprised a lot.

"Hehe, baby Lyra shouldn't do this type of thing on her own. You are still a baby and know nothing. If there were bad people with higher power, they could damage your divine sense, and that would hurt your soul. At that time, no one can save you. You are the only princess of our kingdom of Darkania. I know you have lots of questions, but you have to wait a bit and nourish your body. Then your dad will tell you everything in detail. For now, let me introduce you to your special maid, Rosela. She is a level 15 vampire. She would serve you and protect you. By the way, she is half-blooded like you, so you don't have to be wary of her. For now, please don't go out of this room and order whatever you need from Rosela. She would bring you everything." Aunty Eco said it in a hurry and left without listening to mine.

Then I shifted my attention to my new maid, Rosela. She is bowing her head while standing on one knee. I want to see her face and maybe befriend her, as I feel quite lonely in this new world. It is not like I had lots of friends in the first place in another world. But still, it's better to have someone to talk to than talk with my imaginary friend.

"Get up and raise your head ", I said while walking near her.

After listening to my command, she stands up normally and faces me. She looks like a young girl, around 16 years old. Her skin is greenish-pale. Her face is oval-shaped with doe-like eyes, and she also has Heterochromia. One of her eyes is red, like mine. Another is green like new leaves; it feels like life is overflowing in her green eye, while the red eye represents death. She has black hair, like other vampires. But it has a greenish hue. Also, she has a straight nose and is always smiling with her pretty greenish lips. While I was looking at her intently, she was also looking at me with twinkling eyes.

"Hello, little princess, I am Rosela Da Vamp, Your new maid and also your guard for the time being," She said while having a blushed face.

"Hello, Rosela, I am Lyra Aurelia Da Vamp; you can call me Lyra instead of the little princess. Can I call you Rose too?" I replied while playing with my fingers.
"Of course you can, little princess Lyra. I am sorry, as I cannot call you only Lyra. You are the most honorable person in this kingdom after the king. If the king is like the night sky, you are his moon, the only one who can light our king's heart as your mother, who was the sun in his life, is gone. There's only a bit of her soul left for you to just relay her last message to you; maybe when it's right, you can see her…"She replied with a melancholy voice.

"Rose, did you know my mother? How was she? When can I meet her? What made her like that? Also, which race was she from? I know I am mixing through my heterochromia, and obviously, my father is a vampire. Then what about my mother? Sorry, I have too many questions, but I barely have anyone to ask them." I said this while my eyes teared up.

"Little Princess Lyra, don't cry, please. I will try to tell you as much as I know, but before that, why not eat something? I can hear grumbles from your little tummy," Rose replied, taking something out of nowhere...

She made a table out of wood on my bed, and then, from nowhere, she took out a red jellylike thing and cookies too. I thought that would be the end, but she brings out a glass of red liquid too. The scent of food made me more hungry, so I started to eat hurriedly. I started with red liquid; it's yummy, but I guess it's the same thing I drank when I woke up in this world for the first time, but the taste is different; that was heavenly, and it is a bit less heavenly. Hehe.
"That drink is made of blood, right, Rose?" I asked while taking a sip of that red wine-like drink.

"Yup, my little princess Lyra, this drink is called 'Final Tickle'. It is good for newborn vampires like you. When you finish drinking this, you will be all charged, so you will feel a bit ticklish. That feeling you have to try to bear with is good for stabilizing your power, and it will help to make your bloodline purer." Rose said this while looking at me like she was in deep thought.

"I feel really good while drinking this. By the way, it is not made from human blood, right? Last time it was some angel blood, but now which creature's blood am I drinking?" I focused my eyes on the rose, and she started shivering. Also, it feels like she is losing herself in my eyes, so I look away.

"Little princess, you cannot control your power well, so please refrain from using this power, as I thought you inherited this power from Madame Hera... But about the drink: it is made of griffin's blood. Don't worry; we don't kill any beings for their blood. Just take a bit of it, as we like fresh ingredients, and we also pay them for their blood too. For rare ones like angels, we need to negotiate with them and preserve them with preservation magic to keep them fresh. My little princess, don't worry; we are good vampires. We have our laws. We never drink random creatures blood, as it does not give us any power boost. Let me know how you feel after you finish drinking it. You must eat other foods to maintain your body, as you are half-blooded. You won't be able to replenish all your energy with blood alone. Rose said those while looking at me with pity.

"You said Madame Hera; she is my mother, right, Rose? Also, I don't feel anything abnormal after drinking that drink, and the cookies are tasty too. Also, this red jelly is made of fruits, right? I like all the snacks; thanks, Rose." I replied while wiping my mouth with a handkerchief.

"Little princess, you are sharp-witted; yes, your mother's name was Hera. She came from another world. We don't know her surname; she said she was an orphan. That's why she didn't have a last name; the whole world knew her as Dark Saint Hera. Although people feared her, she was a kind lady. She saved me while those pureblooded ones were going to kill me; she took me with her and taught me the dark arts. She also could foresee the future; she knew when you would be here, she wouldn't be able to be with you, so she left her last messages in a soul locket that is with your dad. You inherited your black eye from her. Although it is black, if people look into those eyes, they can see stars and lose their soul. That beautiful but deadly eye was beautiful, but you only have one of her eyes, and it still has the same feelings. Little princess, the world will need you soon, so you have to know about your powers well, but before that, it's almost morning; you should take a rest; we will tour the place at night!" Rose replied while patting my hair.

"Ok, I guess for now this much is enough. I will learn about everything slowly anyway. I will look forward to our night tour, Rose." I said goodbye to Rose while she tucked me into bed.

I started to feel sleepy as a bit of daylight entered my room, and Rose skillfully used dark magic to make a cover so that light couldn't touch me. I am starting to feel sleepy. By the way, why am I feeling so sleepy? Being a vampire made me different from being human... With thousands of thoughts about the castle tour, I fell asleep slowly.
