I woke up in a dark room , with heavy red velvet curtains blocking the passage of light . In bed had sheets of red silk and a figure was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed . I got up slowly from the bed and my feet found wood floors polished .
Open the Cortinhas and discovered a frightening landscape : a sky the color of blood and dead trees and gnarled . A black gate was ahead and the ground seemed infertile. It seemed an old cemetery .
- I know what you 're thinking . - A male voice broke the silence and family - but this is the home of our father and his future home soon.
The shadow came toward me and I saw the outline of the face Blake . His eyes were dull and paler skin . It was not even like my real brother , but I knew it was him .
- Blake , what's happening ? Where is Koichi ?
- What matters ? You are no longer in the beautiful white castle of the archangels . This is the heart of darkness , where the other half of his lineage was born and where you will perish .
I swallowed hard and unpleasant shiver down my spine . Blake was very different from what it always was and I was getting more and more terrified . My voice faded away and went to meet him until my back ground and the hands of my brother hold my throat .
- You will not escape from here and even Koichi able to cross the border between heart of darkness and the dark surface . Be good and you will not suffer anything for now .
I nodded, assutada more than I was and got up from the floor . He was still wearing the clothes from my mother , but there was something slightly different : there was a stain on the right forearm blouse and seemed fresh blood . I looked closer and my hand vampire clearly told me that the blood was Koichi . Yes , it really was : the same smell , the same color , the same texture , everything was equal to it.
Without thinking , I moved on Blake completely overtaken by sadness and anger , tears stung my eyes , but I did not allow myself to cry , not in front of his presence . What he did was something of extreme betrayal and I would never forgive him for that. Think about the fact that he might have hurt Koichi made my stomach churn and the idea that Blake could have killed him left me cold and probably pale .
- Listen to what I have to say . - Blake clenched my fists against the wall , pinning my arms , but tried to get tempted to hit some shots , but he stepped on my feet and tied my legs too - If you promise to listen to my side of the story , I can drop and maybe change your mind about your future .
- Okay , but know that nothing will change what I think of you now .
- Do what you want .
Soon, I was sitting in bed listening to the version of Blake , who looked hopelessly out the window , lost in his memories .
" It was after Koichi put you in the human world and the death of our father . Everything was in complete chaos , so the world of the archangels as the vampire world and we decided to separate and destroy the covenant that his mother and father had done placing a new barrier between worlds . We were the only heirs able to govern .
However , when I got here , everything was in complete ruin and destruction . Several of our species were killed and many others injured . This castle was completely collapsed and looked like a scene of a terrible war . Few vampires who escaped unharmed and they told me that this world had been taken over by a conductor without the approval of the public .
I was furious and went toward the ruins of the castle and found our uncle Erick Kawazaki with the power to rule in hands . We both started a violent struggle and losing both exited and bruises on their bodies " - Blake showed me a black ciatriz left shoulder was going to the forearm - " but then we both entered into an agreement and we agreed that if I still hunted baby and take away his life I would have power over everything. Be calm , still not finished . "
I was completely shocked and speechless . As Blake would be capable of such a thing ? I knew he was not very generous, but killing someone to get the power was not worthy act of understanding . Blake grabbed me by the shoulders and sat me down again. I obeyed , but without the intention to believe in the next attempts to redeem what he said .
" Well, after seeing all that, the idea of ruling not appealed to me more and did not fulfill what was agreed. I pulled back and let you grow as an ordinary human . But now , after all this time , this place is returning to the axes and my desire to rule the heart of darkness reappeared , however , there is a problem : you being alive and being the youngest , the next in line of succession after our father you are. might sound crazy , but here things are different and the newest take control , and even if they do not want , are required to govern. Accordingly , so that I am in command , you must leave this for the better. understood where I'm going ? "
I was understanding exactly what the outcome of this story long before it happened : Blake kill me and turn me to Erick Kawazaki like I was a prize for the government it was , but my uncle did not return the throne and would leave my brother sorry embittered and , above all, with the deepest hatred. I tried to tell him , but it was useless . Blake did not believe me and left , locking the door of my room .
