EASTERN EUROPE, ROMAINA, JANUARY 23RD 1991

It was a cold Winter's day in the Country of Romania, far up in the mountains was a small, isolated mountain Village, the people of this village were a superstitious lot, who were very unfriendly towards outsiders, and followed ancient Pagan Beliefs, worshipping a being known as the Black God, and their Prophet, Mother Miranda.

Along with her were her four Lords, who worked together to rule over the Village and the surrounding lands, all of them were working under Mother Miranda, and assisting in her works...

One of those Four Lords was Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, ruler of Castle Dimitrescu, she was charged with maintaining order in the Village while aiding Miranda with her research, she also owned a very successful Wine making Business.

She had three Daughters that she created by implanting a Cadou Parasites which implanted Eggs into the bodies of three young women, those eggs hatched into Insects similar to Blowflies that consumed the bodies of the three girls, before these Flies then reformed themselves into the girl's bodies, the three girls were Bela, Daniela and Cassandra Dimitrescu.

Then, there was Alcina's first and only Male child...

This was (Y/N) Dimitrescu, Alcina's biological son, she had him from unknown circumstances but her pregnancy wasn't an easy one, her family insisted that she get rid of the child to cover up the disgrace of having a child outside of marriage, but... Alcina refused, instead, she was shunned from the family and made to leave the Family home, she had to birth and raise her son alone, it was difficult for the young aristocrat, especially trying to do this work as a single mother, with her family scorning and shunning her for getting pregnant out of wedlock, but... she didn't regret it, she loved her first born child dearly.

She raised him alone through his life, the both of them living comfortably with money from Alcina's career as a Jazz Singer, with her band Miss D and the Pall Boys, before they had to stop and stay in hiding due to the Nazi's taking over most of Europe, and do their best to survive in this hard time.

Soon after World War 2 ended, you and your Mother had moved back to the Dimitrescu Family Castle, you were 19 when you moved to the Family's Castle, you were eager to see your new home as was your Mother, however... Alcina and you were lured away and experimented on by Mother Miranda, before having a Cadou Parasite surgically implanted in both of your bodies.

You gained the same powers as your Mother, strong regenerative capabilities, retractable claw-like nails, you could even transform, it also made you stop aging at 19, which you were quite pleased with, however, there was one small problem...

You had also inherited Porphyria from your Mother, and the Cadou made both you and your Mother's conditions worse, yours was somewhat more tolerable, but, since that day you both required a ready supply of fresh Human Blood and Flesh, pretty much becoming Vampires.

Your Mother became one of the Four Lords who ruled over the Village, your Mother was assigned the task of maintaining order in the Village, while aiding Mother Miranda's Cadou Research, while you were kept in the Castle for reasons that were unknown to you...

You had lived here in this Castle for 34 Years, with your Mother and your three sisters that you had gotten shortly after your own infection and transformation, and now, you planned to go out...

CASTLE DIMITRESCU

(Y/N) walked through the halls of the Castle, wearing a black suit with a tailcoat, passing by expensive vases, ornaments and cabinets that decorated the halls, he was planning to sneak out of the Castle to find something special for his Sisters.

(Why does Mother not allow me to leave the Castle anyway? Surely no one would threaten her son?) (Y/N) thought to himself as he walked, this was something the boy had often thought about, ever since he was small his Mother wouldn't let him out of their Home, perhaps it was due to that encounter when he was eleven years old?

Back then Lady Dimitrescu and her Son were staying in another Country in Europe when the Nazi's were patrolling the town we were staying in, his memory of the time was fuzzy, but from what he remembered, someone had tried to take him away from his Mother, and suddenly they were dead and both of them had to flee, ever since then his Mother insisted that he stayed inside and not speak to strangers, ever.

"Why has Mother never told me why she keeps me indoors? I know I'm not sick, even now after Mother Miranda gave me the same gift as her, she refuses to allow me outside, other than the Courtyard" he grumbled to himself quietly, it was annoying to be stuck indoors with only so much to keep himself from getting bored, reading books, playing instruments and doing art were only so entertaining, and his Mother made it very clear he wasn't to soil with the Maidens here, which made him just as frustrated.

Right now Mother was away at a meeting with Mother Miranda and the other Lords that ruled this Village, and he was certain that his Sisters were busy as well, so now (Y/N) had a good chance to sneak out of the Castle and do what he planned to do, it was Bela, Daniela and Cassandra's birthdays tomorrow, and he was planning to catch them some fresh prey to play with.

(Y/N) had heard from the Samca that flew around the Castle's Rooftops about three young men who seemed to have gotten lost close to the Village, and had hidden themselves away in a Cabin that was on the outskirts of the Village, those three Men would make wonderful gifts, (Y/N)'s Sisters did love the taste of man-blood after all.

"I know Mother will be angry if I leave the Castle but... I can't let this chance to get some fresh Prey slip through my fingers, and I know they'll love the chance for fresh Man-Blood too" he muttered to himself as he walked the hallway, passing a couple of his Mother's Maidens who were busying themselves with their tasks, one of the girls, a dark haired girl quickly averted her eyes and trembled fearfully as he passed them.

The second one, a blonde haired girl was not so subtly observing him as he passed, (Y/N)'s walk slowed as he sniffed the air, he could smell the lust and desire from the Maiden's body, like incense wafting through the air and invading his nose, (Y/N)'s lip curled slightly, he ran his tongue over his sharp fangs as he continued onward.

Soon enough he reached the main doors of the Castle, and quietly opened them before he slipped through the doors and out into the snowy outdoors, he quickly closed the doors to avoid making his Sisters cold, since he knew the cold was very harmful for them, then (Y/N) hurried along down the path and into the Village, passing by the scared people of the town, who seemed to do their best to avoid getting in his way as he made his was to the incline that went up to one of the cliffs that overlooked the Village.

He took a running start, his long legs giving him a good stride as he ran up the snowy hill, making his way up towards the Cabin on the outskirts of the Village that these outsiders had hidden themselves in, (Y/N) smirked to himself as he thought about how happy his dear Sisters will be when they see what their Big Brother had gotten for them, he just hoped that his Mother wouldn't find out about this...

However, the Man's smile quickly went away and he stopped as he could hear and smell the people inside of the Cabin and could also smell blood... he hurried through the valley, leaving footprints in the snow as he rounded the corner and saw the Cabin ahead, with a small group of Lycans trying to break into the building!

"Leave the Mortals in that home to me, you mangy mongrels!" (Y/N) said loudly as he walked towards the Cabin, the Lycans turned their heads to the new voice, snarling and gnashing their teeth at (Y/N) as he extended his long, sharp claws to slice the Lycans apart of they dared to try and attack him.

The Lycans growled and waved their weapons, trying to threaten the man while also trying to break into the Cabin through the windows and doors, the Dimitrescu Lord could hear the men inside making fearful sounds, and the sound of their racing heartbeats, the blood pumping through their veins from the Lycans trying to break in and maul them to death.

"Get away from my Sister's gifts you filthy-!!" (Y/N) said angrily before suddenly there was a fiery explosion and one of the Lycans was blown to pieces! This startled the other Lycans as it's pieces started to calcify and crumble to dust, leaving behind a Crystal Skull.

"Woah... what just?! Was-Was that me?!" (Y/N) exclaimed in shock and disbelief, looking around to see where that explosion could have possibly come from, but seeing no cause for the sudden explosion.

The Lycans looked just as startled from the unexpected fiery explosion, (Y/N) couldn't sense any other heartbeats close by, but the young man chose to take this chance to scare these mangy Monsters away from his Sister's Birthday gifts, (Y/N) glared at the Lycans and swung his bladed claws at the closest one, slicing off it's arm and making it howl in pain, before he stabbed it through the chest and killed it.

This seemed to snap the other Lycans out of their surprise and they dropped down, snarling at the young Man as he stood with his razor sharp Claws ready to strike at the beastly creatures, however... they suddenly seemed to get scared and ran away.

"What? Why are they...?" (Y/N) said in confusion before he heard someone clear their throat behinds him making him freeze, (Y/N) started to tremble worriedly as he slowly looked back... only to see his Mother standing there with her arms crossed over her chest, her face showing a serious scowl.

(FUUUUUUUCK!!!) (Y/N) screamed in his head, now feeling terrified, his Mother could be VERY scary when she's angry, and she would be furious about him being out of the Castle!

"M-Mother, it is good to see you again-" (Y/N) said as I turned to speak to his Mother, giving her a nervous smile but that was quickly wiped away by the angry scowl that she had on her face.

"Quiet, (Y/N)! Would you mind explaining to me why you are outside of the Castle, again, after I had specifically told you never to leave it?" Lady Dimitrescu asked sternly, looking down at her Son disapprovingly, (Y/N) looked down nervously, he knew he'd messed up and he felt that she was very disappointed in him, (Y/N) hated having his mother be disappointed in him.

"I... came out here to capture some strong Man-things for Bela, Cassandra and Daniela, their birthdays are tomorrow, and I wanted to fetch them something... exotic" (Y/N) said to her while he was looked down at the snowy ground, like a child being reprimanded by their parent.

Lady Dimitrescu had a look of surprise on her pale face, she pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed before she walked towards her son, her nine foot six inch frame approaching her Eldest Child as her dress moved and clung to her figure, her Son was eight feet tall and possibly still growing, she saw him brace for a punishment, but instead, Alcina set her hand on his head, rubbing his hair gently.

"Such a caring and attentive older brother you are, Son" Lady Dimitrescu said with a small smile, her anger momentarily fading away as she knew that he only did this because he wanted to bring his Sisters something special for their Birthday, so she couldn't be too mad, it wasn't like he had done this on a silly whim, of in a bout of wanderlust.

"Y-Your... your not mad, Mother?" (Y/N) asked his Mother nervously and also confused as to why she hadn't reprimanded him for sneaking out and disobeying her.

"Oh, I am upset, and you shall be punished for this disobedience, but... since you only did it because you wanted something for your Sisters, then I suppose I couldn't get too angry this time" Lady Dimitrescu said as she smiled at her Child, he internally sighed in relief that he wouldn't be punished, yet.

"But I would like to know, my Son, where would you find anything exotic in the Village, without speaking with the Duke?" Alcina asked her Son, curious to what he had found, he believed that perhaps she could help him with bringing home the Man-things so they could be kept in a place where they wouldn't get taken by Lycans.

"I have it on very good authority that some travellers have gotten lost and are currently hiding inside of that Cabin, I believe their flesh and blood will make a wonderful gift for Bela, Daniela and Cassandra" (Y/N) said to her, smiling as he imagined Bela, Cassandra and Daniela's faces when he presented to them the Man-things as their gifts, Alcina looked at her Son with curiosity.

"How did you know about these Travellers you speak of?" she asked as she put her hand on her hip, giving her Son a pointed look as she tried to think of how he could have known about this.

"The Samca, Mother, some of them spotted travellers as they flew around the borders of the Village, and they told me while I was up on the roof of the Castle enjoying the view" (Y/N) said as he looked up and pointed to the sky, lady Dimotrescu then looked up and saw one of the Samca flying in the cloudy sky above them.

"You can communicate with those primitive Creatures?" Alcina asked him with interest, as she watched the Humanoid-Bat flying up above them, finding it curious how he could commiuncate with such a Beast.

"Yes, Mother, may we please continue this back at home? I wish to get this group back to the Castle, before the Lycans return and try to steal the prey I wish to gift to my beloved Sisters" (Y/N) asked he looked toward the Cabin, Alcina and (Y/N) could tell that the man-things were still hiding inside, they could smell them and hear their heartbeats from within the abandoned Cabin.

"So eager, very well, let us capture them and bring them back to the Castle. but don't think this is the end, we will discuss your sneaking out once we are home" Lady Dimitrescu said with a smile, (Y/N) returned the smile with a sigh, not looking forward to being lectured yet again by his Mother, however he put that in the back of his mind and quickly made his way to the Cabin to capture the three Foreign man0things.

However, as (Y/N) walked away to collect the Men, his Mother looked down at the ground, a look of worry flashing across her face, she had seen what happened with the Lycan earlier, how it had been caught in a fiery explosion and she saw the scorch mark on the ground where the Lycan had suddenly exploded, and the blood from the one her Son had sliced apart.

"So, it's happening again..." Lady Dimitrescu said as she looked down at the blood stained snow, a concerned frown etched into her face before she looked up towards the Cabin, and saw you enter, she then went back to her Carriage, having to make arrangements for the new "guests" they would be having, unaware of the Crow that watched this from a nearby tree.

TOMORROW

The next day came very soon, and currently in the dining room, the whole Dimitrescu Family was sat around the table together, with several maids ready to attend to their Master's if called, though... they all looked very nervous.

"Happy birthday, my Daughters" Lady Dimitrescu said with a big smile on her ruby-red lips, smiling with happiness as she looked to her three Daughters, she was always happy to see her children happy.

"Happy birthday, Sisters" (Y/N) said as he smiled at his three younger Sisters, while the three girls smiled at their Mother and Brother, feeling very happy as the family ate their breakfast together.

"Thank you so much, Mother, Brother!" Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela all said at once, all three girls having big smiles on their faces as they looked at (Y/N), fidgeting as they seemed barely able to contain themselves, their Mother saw the looks and smiled while shaking her head.

"(Y/N)... why don't you give them your gifts now, before they burst from impatience?" Lady Dimitrescu said to (Y/N), who stopped eating and nodded his head, before dabbing his mouth with a napkin, to wipe away the blood on his lips.

"Gifts? Big Brother, you got us gifts?" Daniela asked him, as she started bouncing in her seat excitedly, like a child eager for their Birthday cake.

"Is it a new torture device?" Cassandra asked, sounding very eager to see of she maybe got a new Iron Maiden, or something new to torment her victims with, the Maid's in the room shivered in fear of potentially being a test subject to her new toy.

"A new book?" Bela asked interestedly, she was the quiet one who was more interested in reading new books in the Library, often times inviting her Brother to read with her.

"Calm yourselves my Sisters... stay right there, and I shall bring your gifts" (Y/N) said with a chuckle, as he pushed the chair back and made his way towards the Kitchens, so he could get to the Cellars quicker while his Sisters sat at the table waiting to see what they got from their big Brother.

"What do you suppose he got us?" Daniela asked as she looked at her Sisters and Mother with an excited gleam in her eyes.

"I'm not sure, maybe he got is new Sickles?" Cassandra said, trying to think about what their older Brother could have gotten them.

"Or maybe some new clothes?" Daniela suggested, wondering of he had gotten them new cloaks or something else.

"Ooh, I can't wait!" Bela said, sounding excited, which made her Mother hide her smile behind her hand.

"Now now, daughters, be patient" Lady Dimitrescu said to her three girls with authority, making the girls settle down to wait for their Brother to return with their gifts, a little later on they heard what sounded like a struggle, before the doors to the Kitchen opened, and (Y/N) ducked through the doorway, dragging three young men behind him with chains around their wrists, a victorious smile on his face, like a Cat bringing home a gift.

"Here we are, my darling Sisters" (Y/N) said proudly as he gave a flourish towards the three young men, who all looked scared and were speaking in another language, or struggling against the chains wrapped around their wrists.

"You caught us fresh prey?!" Cassandra said in shock, as she and her sisters stood up, looking between their brothers and the three men that he had captured for them.

"Not just any Prey, my Sisters, Outsiders! Fresh... exotic blood and flesh for you to delight yourselves in" (Y/N) said to them with a warm smile as he walked towards his Sisters, who looked overjoyed at their gifts.

"What shall we do with them?" Daniela asked as she eagerly eyed them, trying to pick which one she wanted of the three.

"Do what you wish with them, take them to the cellars and bleed them there, let them try to run and hunt them through the halls, they are your prey, Sisters" (Y/N) said to them as he motioned for them to have at it, the three girls squealed happily and all hugged their brother tight, almost making him fall over before they hurried to their Man-things.

"It's so nice to see them so happy... your such a good older Brother to your Sisters" Lady Dimitrescu said as she poured herself a glass of Sanguis Virginis, and took a sip as she watched the three drag their Prey away.

"Thank you, Mother" (Y/N) said as he sat on a chair opposite her, feeling glad to have pleased his three Sisters, and his Mother with his gift idea, his mother then poured him a glass too, so they could relax as the Sisters enjoyed their new playthings.

EVENING, (Y/N)'S POV

It was a very good day today, I could hear the screams of my Sister's gifts echoing through the Castle, I smiled to myself as I was stood in my Bedroom, looking out of the window and watching the snow fall from the sky.

"It's such a great view... " I said to myself as I took a deep breath and then went to take a seat in my chair to read a book and drink some of Mother's Sanguis Virginis before I retire to bed for the night.

"Big Brother, are you awake?" I heard a knock on the door to my room, followed by a very familiar voice, was that Cassandra?

"Yes?" I replied as I looked up and saw my darling Sister open the door and walk inside, with fresh blood on her lips, that were pulled into a grin that showed her teeth, with her dark brown hair showing from her hood.

"Mother requests your presence in the Dining Room, you have guests who wish to speak with you" Cassandra said as she looked at me with a smile, I rose a brow in curiosity.

"Guests? I wasn't expecting anyone today, unless... is it her again?" I asked feeling confused, until a thought came to mind, and I now felt hopeful that it was my lady-friend, come back to visit me again after all this time.

(Did she come by for a surprise visit again?) I wondered to myself, it had been quite some time since she visited me, and I was honestly missing her company, now especially...

"No, Brother, it isn't her, if it were you would be the first to know most likely" Cass said, breaking me from my thoughts and making my smile drop slightly, before I sighed to myself and finished off the glass of blood-laced wine I had, before setting down both the glass and book.

"Yes, I suppose you are right, very well, let's go see what these guests have come for" I said as I stood up from my chair and walked to the door, having to duck through the doorway due to my height, I was a bit shorter than Mother but still had to duck through these doors.

"Thank you again for the gift, dear Brother, I'm having a lot of fun torturing him and devouring his warm man-flesh" Cassandra said with a giggle, I smiled and patted her head through her hood as we walked, feeling glad she enjoyed herself, after a short walk through the Halls we arrived at the door to the Dining Room of the Castle.

"Thank you, Sister, I shall go in now... why don't you go back to your entertainment?" I suggested, Cassandra quickly nodded, her long dark brown hair bouncing under her hood, before she turned into a swarm of Flies and left back to her plaything, I then opened the door and ducked my way through.

"Cor' blimey! He's a right big 'un! Almos' like 'is Mother" I heard an unfamiliar voice say as I stood up straight and looked over, I saw Mother standing with four new faces that were sat or stood with Mother, and looking at me with some slight surprise.

"Ah, there you are, my Son, come and greet our guests" Mother said, I nodded and approached, taking a proper look at the new people that were in our home.

One was an older man-thing, with a long grey-white beard, wearing grey robes who, for some reason, had a sense of power and wisdom around him.

Next was an older woman, wearing emerald-green robes and a pointed hat, she also wore glasses and seemed rather stern, like a school teacher, though she also seemed rather unnerved.

The third was another Man-thing, with pale skin and wearing all black, with long black hair and also seemed, quite on guard and wary of myself and Mother.

The fourth man-thing really caught my interest though, he was quite tall, pretty much around my height, though not as tall as Mother is, and he had a very large beard on his face, he was stood close to the old man with the long grey beard.

"Greetings, I am (Y/N) Dimitrescu, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance" I said as I offered a bow to the older man, before I took a seat on the chair beside my Mother's at the Dining Room table.

"My, such manners, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am Albus Dumbledor, and I have come here to give you... this, my Boy" he replied to me as he held out an envelope to me, I reached out and carefully took it before I glanced at Mother, who also seemed intrigued and nodded to me to open it.

I then extended one of the bladed claws in my hand, the blade was just long enough to open the envelope with, though I still had to be careful to not cut the Letter inside.

"My word..." I heard someone gasp, I looked up at the group who seemed surprised at this ability of mine, making me smirk and chuckle lightly before I slit the paper and carefully removed the letter inside and read it.
