I Died on My Order of the Night
As for my parents,unable to bear the trauma of watching their children destroy one another and die one by one,they developed severe Nocturne Fatigue—
awake at night yet mentally hollow, memories dulled, emotions numbed, their minds broken.
They were sent to a sealed treatment facility to prevent them from harming themselves or other vampires of the Coven.
The family we once took pride in was reduced to Leo alone,
sitting in a wheelchair.
He guarded the empty house,silently watching over the memories of our past.
On the wall hung a family portrait—our last photograph together.
I was still alive then.
Still smiling.
Still holding onto a fragile hope for them.
