After the school ended, I quietly walked towards the gate while keeping my head low. My head was still hurting because master had banged my head against the wall.

I got on the bus and took a window seat.

I quickly wiped the tears that were forming in my eyes and took a deep breath while telling myself. . .

After the bus reached the bus stop, I got out of the bus and started to walk home...
Then I stood at the doorstep while looking down at my shoes. I sighed before placing my hand on the door knob and I was not surprised to see that the door was open.
"Little one..."
He called but I kept my gaze low and started to walk to my room.
"Little one, wait.." he grabbed my arm and pulled me back, not in a gentle way.
I kept my gaze low and didn't say anything.
"What's the matter?" He growled.
I looked down at the floor and said quietly, "I am sorry, master..."
He then sighed and took the bag off my back, "Come here." He made me sit down on the couch and sighed again, "Little one, I..." He sighed again, "I am sorry..."
"It doesn't matter now.." I looked down again, "You hate me anyways.."
"Why do you think that I hate you?" He growled and I clenched my fists, still looking down.
"Answer me!" He grabbed me by my shoulders, making me shudder and I sniffled.
He stared at me for a few seconds before letting out another deep growl, "Since when did you get so weak.."
I wiped my eyes and looked down.
He then sighed and slowly pulled the hat off my head, "Now let me see."
I lowered my head a little but then I felt some kind of dark aura around us.
𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓...𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦...?
He looked down at the hat and then looked at me, "Little one..."
"Yes, master..?" I looked up at him, my ears were flattened.
Then darkness started to surround us and my vision started to get blur.
𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔...
"Why do you...think that I...hate...you..." His voice faded as he got unconscious.
"Master..." I reached my hand out to touch his shoulder but my head also started getting very dizzy and I also lost my consciousness...
A blur dark figure was what I saw before my eyes were fully closed.
--𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗣--
"LITTLE ONE!! OPEN YOUR EYES!!"
"LITTLE ONE!!"
I heard master shout while panting and I quickly opened my eyes while breathing heavily, "Master?!"
"Little one.." Master sighed in concern while looking at me but he was leashed and his wrists were chained to the wall.
I looked down at myself and found myself chained to the walls as well, "Master! What's going on?!"
"Little one, I-"
"Well..well..well, looks like our little werewolf is awake."
I heard someone's steadily intimidating footsteps. Then a man walked out of the shadows.
"Lucifer.." Master growled.
"Oh." He chuckled, "Looks like master did this to you. Oh, look how helpless you look."
𝐿𝑢𝑐𝑖𝑓𝑒𝑟'𝑠 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟?!
"I won't let him do anything to her!" Master shouted with a growl.
"And how do you intend to stop me, pet?" A man appeared out of nowhere and towered over master.
"Pet?!" My eyes widened in shock.
The man turned around to look at me with a smirk, "He used to be my beloved pet."
"It can't be.." I looked at Master in disbelief and he growled, "That doesn't matter anymore!"
"But it's true.." The man said while tracing a sharp dagger on Master's cheek.
Master growled while ignoring the blood and looked at me, "I will save you, little one. You don't have to be scared of this bastard!"
The man laughed and pressed the dagger against Master's neck, "Oh, poor silly pet. You haven't changed yet. You are unable to use your powers, you know? You are under my spell.. How can you even think of saving her?"
Master clenched his fists while growling.
"How stubborn..." The man pressed the dagger deeper against Master's neck and it started to bleed!
"Stop!!" I shouted with wide eyes.
Then he gripped Master's hair and pulled his head back before looking at me with a smirk, "What did you say?"
"Let him go!" I gathered the courage to speak, my heart was pounding in my chest.
He smirked and let go of Master's hair, then he walked to me and said, "You sure are a brave one, aren't you? I suppose he trained you well."
"But who are you?" I looked into his dark eyes.
"Well we have met before. But according to your remaining, unerased memory, you talked with my shadow." He smirked while leaning closer to my face.
I just stared at him with wide eyes.
𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑤? 𝐷𝑒𝑣..?
"Stay away from her!" Master shouted but Lucifer kicked his stomach and shouted, "Shut up!"
"Only I can hurt him, Lucifer." Dev's eyes glowed red but before he could do something, Lucifer quickly apologized while bowing his head.
Then Dev turned to me again, "At that time, I had told you to get revenge from your so-called master but you refused. That assured me that he trained you or scared you well enough. I even told you to call me Dev. But now you will call me Great Master."
𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟?!
I looked at master then at Dev.
𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑦 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡? 𝑊ℎ𝑜 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑛?
Then Dev gripped Master's hair and pushed his head down against the floor while Master growled.
"If you won't do as I say then this master of yours will be killed in no time." He pushed kept his foot on top of his head and started to crush his head!
"What are you doing?! Don't touch him!" I shouted while struggling against the chains.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" G-Great Master growled while pressing Master's head even more forcefully against the floor.
I could even hear the floor cracking!
"Great master..! Please let him go!!" I shouted while breathing heavily.
He smirked and slowly moved his foot away from Master's head, "She's very obedient."
Master growled while raising his head up again.
"If you don't stop growling then her head is going to get ripped off." Great Master growled while crouching down to Master.
"You wouldn't dare..." Master growled while looking into his eyes.
"You know me." A dark smirk formed on Great master's lips.
"But I want to know what's going on! Who are you?! How do you know Master?! What do you want from us?!" I shouted while clenching my fists.
"You are a curious one." Great Master sighed and turned to me, "Well then, let's end your curiousity before ending your life."
𝑊𝑎𝑖𝑡, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡?
"Many centuries ago, we vampires used to rule over the creatures like you. You might not remember this but we are from the same world which is different from this human world."
Great master looked at master and continued, "And this boy whom you call 'Master', used to my beloved, loyal pet. I raised him actually, his parents had abandoned him."
I looked at master and he lowered his gaze.
𝐵𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑚𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑦 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠..
Then Great master walked to me while speaking in a dominant voice, "I was the one who should have got the throne but they rejected me because they said I was not capable of the throne and possessed evil intentions. And they were correct. I wanted more powers. Because the powers of just a vampire were not enough for me. I needed more power. More power to rule over both human and demon world."
"And the easiest way for me to get more power...was to steal from others'. So I started taking everyone's power, every vampire and every werewolf's power. Eventually, I got way more powerful. No one was able to stop me. Not even the greatest vampire lords nor the greatest werewolves could stop me from ruling the demon world. But when I decided to rule over the human world, you were created."
𝑀𝑒? 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑..?
"All the great powerful werewolves united their powers to create you. They created you in order to save the future that was sure to be doomed. You were such an innocent looking child back then, and I didn't hesitate to laugh when they said that you could save the future of your people. You were the so-called legendary silver werewolf, or should I say the beloved Luna; princess of the werewolves?" A dark chuckle echoed in the room.
𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑤𝑜𝑙𝑓? 𝐿𝑢𝑛𝑎? 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠?
𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔?!
"I decided to kill you at the very young age but then, I thought that your powers could be more useful to me. If you were dead, your powers would also be dead but your powers would get developed completely after reaching the appropriate age. Then I killed every protector of yours and brought you to my palace when you were just 2 months old. One of your ancestors had also said that your powers could not be stolen or taken until you desire to give it on your own."
"Still, I tried to steal your powers but all I got was the ability to turn into a wolf. I don't know what spell they used for that, but I couldn't take any other powers from you. I was left as a hybrid of vampire and werewolf. So I decided to let you live in my place just so you would also be my pet and give me your powers when I told you to. But it was a bad decision.."
He sighed while brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear, "You just wouldn't listen to me... All you used to do was hide behind him while crying like a good-for-nothing child. And I was not surprised to see that he actually protected you a few times when I was whipping you. Don't you remember? Oh, how could you even remember?"
"He erased your memories, afterall... When he found out that I was going to kill you after I got all your powers, he took you with him when you were still a child who had no knowledge about this world.. He was also a child at that time but I never expected him to betray me like that. He stole my spell books and ran away with you.."
𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑒.. 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 ℎ𝑎𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑚𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒... 𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠! 𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠!
"Well, I tracked the both of you down and locked you up in the dungeons. But somehow you managed to escape. How pathetic. I had to search every corner of the demon world for centuries. But then I found out that he had taken you to the human world. You know how pathetic and useless the humans are." Great master said the last line while yawning.
I looked at him in disbelief, "But master told me that the hunte-"
Great master started laughing before I could finish my sentence.
"Why are you laughing?!" I clenched my fists.
Great master's laugh faded as he spoke in an intimidating voice, "Your master here is a great liar. Oh, he also must have told you that the hunters burnt the houses down and you had to run away but then you got hit, went to coma and all.. BUT it's just a LIE.." He smirked and patted Master's head, "I knew you were a brilliant liar, pet."
Master growled at him.
"Master.." I looked at me and tears welled up in my eyes, "You lied to me.."
He sighed and looked down, "I apologize, little one.."
"Why did you lie to me, master?!" I shouted with tears in my eyes.
"Because he didn't want you to worry too much about your past." Great master spoke up.
I sniffled and looked away from them, "But you hated me since beginning.."
"I-"
"Of course, he did. You are just a good-for-nothing werewolf whose only purpose is to give master powers." Lucifer said in a cruel voice but I kept my tears at bay and whispered, "I hate you, master.."
"Little one..You believe them but you won't even listen to me?" Master looked right into my eyes and for the first time, I saw sadness in his eyes.
"Oh, my werewolf.. You have made a great misunderstanding.." Great master smirked, "Do you remember that I showed you your past in which a girl was crying because of her master?"
He smirked wider and continued, "That wasn't your master. That was me. The one who played hide and seek with you was him.. The one who tried to keep you safe was him.. The one who turned his love into a cold gaze was him. And do you know why he treated you so coldy? Because he knew that if he showed you his love, you would get weak, your emotions would take control over you and the most big reason was so that if you ever lost him, you could live a life like nothing happened.. Oh you are very blind to not see his love. Don't you have any idea what he did for you? How did you fall in love with a such a blind girl, pet?" He started laughing again.
This time master didn't say anything and just looked down.
"Master.." I sniffled while looking at him, "The way you treated me.. made me feel like you hated me..."
But he looked away from me while growling, "I hated you back then. I still hate you and I will hate you."
I felt like my heart broke into thousand pieces.. "But why..."
"Oh, don't believe his words.. Just look at his face. How pathetic. Trying to hide his feelings." Great master gripped master's hair and forced him to look at me.
And I just froze when I saw that tears were rolling down his cheeks but he couldn't wipe them because he was also tied by the chains..
"Master..." Tears also rolled down my cheeks and I sniffled, "I am so sorry, master..."
𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑛𝑦𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠...
"Now let's get back to the flashback." Great master let go of Master's hair and Master looked down while sniffling.
My heart was aching by seeing him like this...
𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑦 𝑓𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡...
Then Great Master continued talking, "After I found out that he had taken you to the human world, I also went to the human world and started my search right away. It was harder than I expected. There were so many useless humans. After searching for a century, I found you. You had become an all grown teenager... I came to you in order to kill you, but then he stopped me and tried to fight back. I would have easily crushed his head but then he used the crystal which was powerful but not as powerful as me."
"He used the crystal to teleport somewhere with you.. After he found a safe place for you, he erased all your memories so that you wouldn't get haunted by your past." He sat down on his throne.
And he continued, "Later, I tracked you down again, easily. But then my powers held me back. The spiritual rituals and souls of the dead stopped me from using my powers until the full moon night of October.. but still I kept an eye on you. I saw you going to the amusement park and school and other places but I had to hold back. But I couldn't wait till then, that's why I sent Alex to you."
I raised my head up to look at him as soon as I heard his name, "Alex?"
"Yes, Alex. I found him begging to save his little brother. He needed money and he said he would do anything just for the money. I told him that we were vampires but he didn't mind it. As I was running out of patience, I handed him the money that he needed and made him work for me. I ordered him to get closer to you so that he would bring you to me. But I got betrayed again." Great Master said with a sigh, "He helped you run away when Lucifer was about to catch you in class that day. That's why I killed him."
"WHAT?!" My eyes widened with anger, "YOU KILLED HIM??!! HOW COULD YOU?! WHY WOULD YOU KILL AN INNOCENT HUMAN?!"
"Because he betrayed me... And betrayers deserve to die..." Great Master looked at Master with a cold gaze before looking at me, "And you are also going to die now.."
