As the evening turned into night, Kira found herself trapped in the clutches of a haunting memory, a ghost from her past that had long haunted her dreams. The vivid recollection played like a dark film before her eyes, each frame etched in her mind with painful clarity.
In the dream, Kira sat in her quaint room, the warmth of her family surrounding her. Her mother's gentle laughter resonated from the kitchen, and her brother's cheerful chatter echoed through the living room. It was a picture-perfect scene of a simple yet fulfilling life, a snapshot of a family united in love.
But the tranquility was shattered in an instant, as malevolent intruders shattered their peaceful existence. Clad in black, they invaded the sanctity of their home, bringing with them blades gleaming with malice. Kira's heart pounded in her chest as she watched in horror, frozen in time, as her beloved brother fell victim to their merciless assault.
She rushed to the living room, only to find her brother lying lifeless in a pool of crimson, his vibrant spirit silenced forever. The intruders closed in on her and her mother, leaving them with no escape. In a heart-wrenching twist of fate, Kira's mother met her end right before her eyes, leaving her with a deep, searing pain that would haunt her for eternity.
Her memories merged with the dream, and the grief, the anger, and the thirst for vengeance became one. She was taken to a man named Ken, who held an air of sinister authority. His icy presence sent shivers down her spine, and his control over her felt suffocating. He spoke of making her something greater, something more than human, a Sanguine, and forced his blood upon her.
In the dream, Kira became Ken's "first child and daughter," a pawn in his dark and twisted game of power. The memories of her past were fragmented, her identity twisted by the manipulation of a cruel and malevolent force. Her dreams echoed with the haunting image of the man who had stolen everything from her.
As Kira woke from her dream, she found herself on the verge of tears, her heart heavy with the weight of her past. She gazed at Alex, asleep on the floor, a beacon of light amidst the shadows that plagued her. His blood had freed her from Ken's control, but the reason behind it remained an enigma.
In her contemplation, Kira knew that she was no longer just a human. She grappled with questions, seeking answers to the mysteries surrounding her existence. Her last years living under the control of Ken felt like a dream that she had nearly forgotten about.
The thought of leaving this place crossed her mind, but the fear of being discovered by Ken's subordinates, and the possibility of falling under his control again, kept her anchored to Alex's side. She felt safer here, away from the malevolence that had plagued her.
Determined to unravel the truth and find her place in this new reality, Kira settled back into slumber, her heart carrying the burden of her past and the hope of a brighter future. As she drifted off, the memories and dreams intertwined, guiding her steps on a path to uncover the shadows of her past and embrace the dawn of a new beginning.
