(Y/n)'s POV

Staring at the six vampires in front of me, I forced myself to appear unaffected by their frighteningly dark statures. I knew from the moment that I stepped foot in this mansion that there was no hope left for someone like me.

Left alone and abandoned on the streets, I felt compelled to search for a companion. Loneliness had been a companion far too cruel yet company never bothered to come to my rescue.

Swallowing whatever fear I had left, I confronted the vampires with a newfound resolve, unwilling to break under their sadistic actions. They would not and could not break me.

"I was informed of your arrival, (Y/n) (L/n)," said a guy with glasses.

"Is she our new sacrificial bride?" asked a red-haired male.

"Hmm, she looks cute. Mind if I take her for myself?" the guy with the fedora hat asked.

"Suit yourself," glasses replied.

"I'm leaving. This is too bothersome," exclaimed a blonde.

I was suddenly grabbed from behind and teleported to a bedroom. A queen-sized bed was placed in the middle of the large room with sliding glass doors leading to a balcony that overlooked the rose garden.

Another door led to what I assumed to be the bathroom. A few shelves and drawers lined the walls with a full length mirror sitting in a corner, covered with dust and rusting with age.

"So your name's (Y/n)?"

I turned around, having forgotten that this vampire had taken me here. He smirked suggestively but I showed no signs of weakness. Giving him the satisfaction that he wanted would only make it better for him.

"Yes, that's me."

"I'm Laito."

"Is this your bedroom?"

"Why do you ask, (Y/n)-chan? Are you perhaps suggesting that we do something?"

"In your dreams."

I gasped as he had me pinned under his body on his bed. To my surprise, he started to lick my neck. I gripped his shirt, waiting for his fangs to pierce my skin but it didn't happen.

Instead, he had his lips on mine. Although struggling to get free would be any girl's normal reaction, I wouldn't have been able to shake off his inhuman grip even if I tried.

Soon enough, he had forced his tongue into my mouth, making me gasp. Tears brimmed my eyes but I refused to let him win this heavily biased game. I couldn't lose...

"Do you...not remember me at all?" he asked with sadness laced in between his words.

"Remember you? You're just a vampire that I've met for the first time. Who knows when you'll kill me after you're done playing with me?..."

"Eight years ago...it was eight years ago."

"Sorry but I can't remember that far back into my past."

"We were friends."

"And I'm supposed to remember you because?"

His grip on my arms had tightened. I managed not to wince as he stared at me with several emotions hidden in his eyes. His face gave nothing away but...he was hurt.

Without warning, he sank his fangs into my neck and began drinking my blood. I couldn't help but wince as he continued to drink. Although I was sure this was most likely my imagination, it seemed that he was trying to be gentle.

"L-Laito, stop."

He pulled away but his glowing eyes were furious. I swallowed, unable to contain my fear for any longer. Who was I to think I could win against a vampire? I had made a grave mistake without considering the consequences of such an action...

He moved down to my thigh before sucking my blood from there. I could feel the hot tears sliding down my face as the realisation soon dawned on me. He was...someone that I knew...yet why couldn't I remember him at all?

Laito's POV

I was angry. Who the hell did they think they were?! I hated humans. Why did they think they were the superior race? Who were they to erase (Y/n)'s memories? Who were they to take away my sanity?

She hadn't changed one bit...but she had become awfully beautiful. I could barely hold myself back. I had changed drastically since our last meeting...so it was probably better this way...

"Laito...I think I know you."

"...I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

"Laito, I do know you...but I can't remember you."

"Well, don't try to remember. I was wrong."

She pushed herself up so that she was sitting cross-legged in front of me. Dried tears stained her red cheeks. I tried not to care, I tried to push away my feelings...yet why was it so hard? Why was it so hard to forget?...

"C-can I...have a hug?" she asked hesitantly.

"A hug?"

She bit her bottom lip and nodded. My arms moved as if they had a will of their own and wrapped around her fragile body. I didn't know how much it hurt until I had a hand on her head and one around her waist.

Her head rested on my chest. I could feel the faint beating of her heart. Tears forced to fall despite how much I tried to hold them back. I missed her...I missed her so much.

"Laito, I definitely know you. I want to remember you...you feel familiar but I can't pinpoint the reason why."

"(Y/n)..."

"Although you may just be a perverted jerk, you've been hurt. You can't hide it."

"*smirks* What an observant girl you are."

I took in her familiar scent before biting into her wrist. She made no attempt to pull away, making me want more of her sweet blood. There was nothing that could replace her even if I searched the whole world for that nonexistent thing.

She had fallen into a deep sleep. I stopped drinking before placing a kiss on her lips. I...loved her...I knew what love was because of her. I hadn't forgotten, not for even a moment despite how much I may have thought I heard the thin piece of string snap under the weight of my emptiness.

"...thank you...for becoming my friend..." she exclaimed softly, as if struggling to stay awake.

"...you're very welcome, (Y/n)."

I placed her on my bed before pulling the blanket over her body. I walked over to the balcony and stared at the moon hanging high above.

I had forced myself to believe that I would never see her again. It was strange how I held onto the hope that she would come back despite the trait being completely human and too much for someone like me...
