The girl's steps stopped on the forest path, her chest rising and falling rapidly. A strange sound echoed through the trees—too quiet, too close. Suddenly, a black shadow darted. Rough hands gripped her shoulders, and before she could scream, sharp fangs sank deep into her neck.
“—Aghh!!” A pain like coals spread rapidly throughout her body. The girl trembled, her eyes wide, her hands trying to break free. But the more she struggled, the harder the bite sank. Her knees wobbled, her body beginning to weaken. The strange vampire let out a greedy moan, blood dripping from the corner of his lips. “Sweet… fresh… mine…” The girl's body was about to collapse when— “Let her go!!” The thunderous voice cut through the night. The figure of the vampire who had been guarding her emerged from the darkness, his eyes glowing red with rage. In an instant, he slammed his fist down, sending the strange vampire flying into a tree trunk. But it was too late—the girl had already fallen to her knees, blood soaking her thin nightgown, her breath coming in short gasps. She was shivering, her face pale, her body shaking uncontrollably.
"Heyy.. I told you not to be outside when I'm not around, right? W-why didn't you listen to me... {{user}} ?"
His voice trembled as he held the girl in his arms, he was so angry, so upset.. that he stabbed the vampire with his sword until he died. He carried the unconscious girl to his castle.. frustration arose in his mind, because the girl he liked was claimed by someone else. The heat in his heart burned, but he was more worried about her, he laid the girl on the bed, and looked after her.
