Vampire world.

Because of the cold aura Annie was emitting, it made the surroundings stuffy. Amelia wasn't even able to breathe well. She even had to struggle and step backwards, a little away from Annie who was emitting such an unknown aura.

'Since when did my fragile young lady have this kind of power?'. Amelia couldn't help but wonder. "My Lady?". She called out to Annie and jerked up when Annie's gaze was focused on her.

Amelia felt her whole body shivering.

With the way Annie was staring at Amelia now, it caused Annie to look like an evil vampire, even more than that. "A…. Are you okay, My Lady?". Gathering her courage, Amelia asked Annie.

"I've never been better". Annie declared. Her voice was holding more of a threat than a reply. [Annie did remember everything concerning the host of the body she was currently in. What a naive vampire the real host of this body was. Being always bullied by the superior, lowly and lowlife vampires altogether. Even her own parents despise her because of her weakness. But the strange thing Annie found out now was that the real host of this body was extremely strong. In fact, the truth was, the real host was one of the strongest vampires to ever exist in the vampire world. The only problem with the real host was the way she was too naive. She always allowed others to bully her as they saw fit, simply because she didn't want to harm anybody]. 'Hmph! So pathetic of the real host of this body! I'll make better use of these destructive powers of yours! I'll defend myself if I am to survive in this mess of a vampire world!'. Annie thought.

"You scared me with your weird behaviour, My Lady. I thought I really lost you". Amelia said, before sobbing again.

For once in her lifetime did Annie actually care for someone like Amelia? In the host's memory, she saw all the struggles and hardships that Amelia went through for her/the real host. But all that bullying will come to an end…. She was given this body for a purpose, and she would definitely like to see for herself what that purpose was for.

"I'm alright…. I just got a little confused. Now tell me, for how long have I been unconscious?". Annie asked as she massaged her temples.

Cleaning the tears on her cheek with the back of her hand, Amelia replied to Annie, "It has been a week, My Lady. When we arrived here last week, you fell into a coma…. This place is too terrible for you". Amelia was feeling both her eyes teary again after she said this, but she tried her best not to cry again.

Annie suddenly smirked. "It's not going to be that terrible again, Amelia. We're both heading back to that Mansion I was kicked out of". Annie said without a glimpse of fear in her. But another weird coincidence, the real host of Annie's body has the same name as hers.

'Wait, what about the face and appearance of this body?. Oh damn! I forgot to check the body's appearance!. What if the real host of this body is an ugly duck? Then I'm screwed for sure!'. Annie thought before running inside the house.

Amelia was surprised after seeing Annie run back inside the same house that she had recently come out of. "What is My Lady planning on doing?". Amelia muttered and also ran after Annie, who was already inside the house.

Annie stared at her appearance in the old-looking mirror, and she was surely surprised. "Sh*t!. What's with this trash outfit I'm wearing? Everything is really different and weird.... Like absolutely different, and weird". Annie announced.

The real host's body and appearance were a beauty to behold. Annie wouldn't lie, but this body and appearance was far more beautiful than her real self. But the only problem with the real host's body now was that the host's real beauty was hidden by a magic spell. 'Now why did she hide such a beautiful face!?'. Annie began thinking before she concluded and thought that the real host must indeed be crazy. This sure explains the whole deal.

"What's that damn spell again?". Annie said. Her voice showed a little frustration in it as she tried remembering the spell incantation that the real host used in concealing her beauty. She can never go out looking like this. "Aha! Finally got it!". Annie's eyes sparkled as she announced loudly.

"Got what, My Lady?". Amelia asked Annie as soon as she came in, but Annie didn't respond to Amelia and only focused herself on what she was doing.

"Ashtet!". Annie said this word, and as soon as she did, white lights filled the whole room. No space was left out. Even Amelia had to cover her eyes because the light was too bright.

Soon after, the light faded and Amelia was able to see clearly again.

"Whoa! Is that really you, My Lady!?". Amelia was in great shock and total disbelief because of Annie's new appearance. She thought before that her Lady Annie was only an average pretty vampire…. But now, Annie's beauty caused her to be speechless.

"Yes. This is me, Amelia". Annie confirmed. Some parts of Annie wouldn't lie, but she was getting the hang of all this stuff. Vampire or whatever they call it. No part of Annie regretted this world she transmigrated into. After all, she had no other family in her own world. All she did was stay alone…. Make more money, spend money and all this bull sh*t dull stuff. What Annie really just hoped for now that she was in this world, was that all those haunting nightmares of hers should not bother her again! Like ever again!.

"I'm back, Amelia. I'm your Lady!". Annie's voice held a dangerous aura inside of it, that even Amelia shivered in fear.

'What has happened to my innocent Lady?'. Amelia wondered about this as she approached Annie. "My Lady, you're so beautiful! I never knew you were this pretty. But, how and why did you conceal your beauty before?". Amelia asked so many questions at the same time. She would like to know the real reason why her lady concealed her beauty…. And not only that, she was also curious about the way Annie was actually able to bring out magical lights by a spell incantation. Didn't they all say that Annie was a useless, lowly vampire? How then can a useless, lowly vampire bring out such a powerful amount of magical light without even draining out any of her energy? Amelia imagined all of this as she was still trying to figure out what actually caused Annie to change.

'How am I supposed to know that, Amelia? The real host of this body is a naive fool for concealing her beauty'. Annie thought to herself.

"Anyway, Amelia, we're moving out of here ASAP". Annie's words were firm as she announced. This particular house she was in, totally disgusted her. Even if she had to live her life in another world, it definitely wouldn't be this particular house she was staying in. ‘I can't live in this terrible place! I was a very rich lady in my own world for crying out loud!'. Annie thought.

"Eh?". Amelia didn't understand Annie at all. Moving out? But to where? As she clearly still remembers, Annie was already kicked out of the Mansion.

As if Annie understood what was going on inside Amelia's head, she declared her final words to Amelia, "To the Mansion, Amelia!. I'd like to see for myself if anyone would dare to throw me out of that Mansion again!". 'I am Annie…. A fierce and feared lady in my own world. I won't dare to tolerate any bullying from those superior, lowly and lowlife vampires!. They should all make way for me instead!'. Annie grinned after having her thoughts.

After seeing the fierce look in Annie's eyes, plus the unbearable aura she was emitting easily, Amelia thought to herself, ‘Now, this is what I call being savage!’. How long Amelia had wished for this day to come.... And now it was finally right here before her own eyes. She was extremely happy. She hated the way Annie was always being bullied, and how weak she was to defend herself. [Amelia was a lowly and low-life-ranked vampire.... So there was nothing huge she could actually do to help Annie. Though, all Amelia always did, was to take on and endure all the bullies meant for Annie].

Annie didn't even spend any more seconds inside the disgusting house, and she had already stormed out. The wicked grin on her lips grew even more.

Everything was going perfectly until Annie stepped on her long dress and almost lost her balance. Annie frowned and reached down. She ripped the dress and was satisfied when the length of the dress was at her knees.

'My Lady looks like a vengeful spirit this way'. Amelia giggled as she thought. She was following behind Annie, who led the way ahead.
