A loud sound woke me up in the middle of the night. I can hear the glasses breaking and it's chaotic.

It is coming from the first floor of our house where my parent's room is located so I got worried. 

But despite of it, 

I stayed in my room thinking that my parents are terribly fighting and probably don't want me to see it. 

Ever since I was young I could barely see them having a quarrel and I know how much they love this family so I'm quite confused.

Cause they've been reminding me to treasure our family and my future husband and children from the moment I stepped into puberty and that tattoed at my heart. 

Did something bad happen to cause them to fight this fierce? Did my dad cheat? Or it's about other things?

While thinking of the possible reasons for their fight, the ear-breaking sounds didn't stop and I let it be but...

I heard my mother scream so I hurriedly went off my bed not minding the fear of them finding out I heard them fighting. For now, I want to see my parents - if they're alright and if they are fine

I actually didn't understand the content of my mother's scream or what she was saying due to my clouded mind and all I could ever think of is if they were alright. And it frightened me even more.

I am panicking

I can't focus and my breathing is unstable because of nervousness and I am scared of losing anyone inside this family. I am scared of losing my family.

Still walking in the hallway of the second floor, I saw blood on the stair from a distance. My body trembled in worry but decided to stay calm as possible

The lights weren't open meaning, my vision is a little dark so to make sure, I decided to run off to where the blood was at 

I smelled it and it has the same scent as iron but despite of it, I still stayed calm. 

Having hopes of this liquid not being blood, I tremblingly touched it and that's when I confirmed it is a true blood.

I can feel my heart pounding like crazy and tears started falling down 

No, that can't be...

I was stuck on the stairs crying for a moment but immediately went back to find my parents,

I first went to our kitchen but they are not there so I looked for them in the living room, and there, I found both of them- With men wearing black masks and hoddies circling around them.

My dad is lying on my mom's thigh and is covered with blood. It's even more painful to see my mom crying endlessly and begging my father not to die

What the hell is happening?

I ran off to them to look at my father's serious wound since I have a little bit of medical knowledge but what I saw up close made me fall into despair. It's no use even if I perform the first aid.

Why is this happening? 

There's a hole in his stomach about a size of a tennis ball and you can see how empty the inside of it is. For now, my dad is holding on by sheer luck and his will to survive but with this kind of wound, he'll die in no time.

"P-please take c-care o-of yours-selves, My d-daughter a-and wife. I'm sorry I-I couldn't protect you u-until the e-end" Our cries even got louder after hearing it

"No! We don't wanna hear it!!"

"Dad please"

He raised his right hand and reached out for our faces

"You g-grew up so well. I-I love the b-both o-of you" He smiled sincerely as he close his eyes looking ready to leave us and go to where dead people are. We want to stop him but when we saw how assured and happy his face is, we realized that dad is contented and ready to die peacefully.

We just sobbed beside him, watching him die.

"What a drama" a deep voice reminded us of our dire situation. For the second time, I froze and cold sweats poured through my body. I managed to look up to see him and just by feeling his aura, I trembled in fear

He's in the middle of the men who are circling us and is wearing a hoodie with a red printed crescent which indicates that he came from a powerful vampire organization and these guys are his men

It is known that vampires who has this kind of symbol in them are high-ranking being. Having the blood of the vampire who has the purest blood, he must be a noble or a direct descendant. Without any preparation, we can't win against him

"p-please-"

"Let's go now, be happy humans, I spared your life" With that, they all vanished in a second

mom and I are confused for a moment but decided to forget it for now cause we have to prioritize the corpse of my dad on the floor and I know my mom doesn't have the energy to call the funeral and report what happened to the nearby police and human protector organization, so I did it in her place

I first called the police and human protectors organization to report what happened and they respond quickly by coming to our house,

There they investigated the whole scene and asked me a few questions

"Can you describe the guy who did this?" 

I answered their question as detailed as possible

But what made me furious is what they said at the end of the investigation

"I'm sorry, we won't file this case" 

"What why?!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, 

They didn't answer me, instead, they just left and one of them secretly hand me a note

it says

'We can't. Go to La Sangre academy if you want to investigate this'

What is this? What is the connection of this school to my father's death?

I have to find out
