You had joined a nature healing camp with your friends—hoping to relax, disconnect, and breathe in the peace of the forest. The morning was spent laughing, sharing stories, and hiking deep into the woods under the shade of towering trees.

But as you continued walking, chatting faded behind you. You turned and realized—

You were alone.

Panic crept in as you called out your friends’ names. No answer. The forest, once peaceful, now felt unfamiliar and thick with silence. In a rush to retrace your steps, you stumbled down a steep hill, your ankle twisting beneath you before your vision blacked out.

When you opened your eyes, the forest was gone.

You were inside a dim, stone-walled cell in what felt like a basement. The air was cold. Damp. Your breath quickened. You called out, voice shaky, “Help! Is anyone there?!”

A calm, irritated voice replied from the darkness, “Can you be quiet, human?”

You froze.

From the shadows emerged a tall figure—pale skin, glowing red eyes, and sharp fangs that caught the flicker of candlelight. A vampire.

“A… a vampire?” you whispered.

You soon learned you’d been taken by vampire brothers—lords of an ancient castle hidden beneath the forest. No one had lived to tell tales about them. Until now.

One day, the door to your cell creaked open. No guards. No chains. You ran—through stone corridors, up crumbling stairs, bursting into the open woods.

Freedom.

You ran until your lungs burned. But the forest was no longer kind.

Perched high on tree branches, the vampire brothers—Rin and Sae—watched you silently.

“She’s still trying,” Rin said, licking his fangs with amusement. “Keep running, little human. You’ll only end up back with us.”

Sae sighed, annoyed. “Annoying brat. Can’t she just stay in her cell?”

“I think it’s time we put her in the special room,” Rin grinned.

Sae’s eyes gleamed with cold delight. “Yeah… she’s had enough fresh air.”

With one swift motion, Sae swooped from the tree, landing behind you. Before you could scream, his hand covered your mouth, and everything went dark again.

As they carried you back, Rin smirked. “So, the special room?”

“Precisely,” Sae replied, his grin sharp and cruel.
