I sat perfectly straight in the back seat of the car, it was now time for what my grandfather was preparing me for. My grandfather constantly spoke of a prophecy that I would fulfill, I was to become a bride. I was sheltered from the outside world and only ate certain types of food. I was locked deep down in a cold dungeon room for hours on end to study and learn of what will happen to me once I turned eighteen. The Village I live in is called, Hotaru, our village is run by the Akuhei family. For many centuries the Akuhei family reigned over us, you might think they kept passing it down to their children but you are wrong, you see the Akuhei family were vampires also known as Elders of the land. The elders have six sons and all must marry or find their "bride" if you want to call it by its term. Three of the brothers, the eldest ones, they already have their brides. The three younger brothers must now find their brides this year to complete the prophecy. I heard they almost don't even look like each other, especially their personalities. My grandfather quickly got me signed up since birth because my birthday fell on the day of the choosing, also I would be turning eighteen when the youngest of the brothers had to choose. My grandfather said it was my destiny since birth, that I belonged to one of the brothers. My grandfather was the Priest of the land and hide the fact he had a daughter deep down underneath the church. My parents had abandoned me when I was four, my grandfather told me that my mother left my father and he went completely insane without out her and ran the streets after her. I was completely sheltered from human contact as well as I went through daily traditional rituals, tasks, and duties that would fall on me when I become of age. This was all I knew.

My heart raced as we turned onto the road to the Akuhei Mansion, I have never been so far from my home in my whole life. My eyes wandered all over the scenes as we traveled down the road. The outside world was completely amazing I only knew some things by pictures in books that I had read. I am a very shy girl but I can stick up for myself, I guess I can be childish at times... more of that innocent sweet caring side. My hands began to shake and started to get sweaty as I wiped them down my blackish purple flowy dress as we got closer. What if they didn't like me? What if I wasn't supposed to be one of their brides... I only know how to be a vessel and a vampire bride. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes letting my head drop so my long pure white hair fell down and covered my face like a curtain. I held my gothic rose pendant close to my chest wishing I could go back home already. All to soon I felt the car come to a stop as I heard my door being open. I slowly looked up with my bright green eyes to see an absolutely gorgeous woman with a small soft smile. I recognized her as Lady Kumori, one of the elder brother's bride, I could even see the family mark on her neck and shoulder blade. Lady Kumori was said to be the sweetest ones here at the Akuhei family's home. I bit my lip as I got out slowly as I say while looking at the ground and curtsied.

"Thank you, Lady Kumori."

I slowly looked up at her as she was tensed up, making me extremely worried. Did I do something improper, or was it the fact that I knew who she was? I could hear all the other girls behind me getting excited to see the brothers. I looked away ashamed as Kumori touched my arm catching me before I could turn away and before I could walk away from her. Lady Kumori then says in a very soft and kind voice

"Your blood... it's so pure and exotic... so Innocent, how could this be? Not even the nun's blood is this pure... So strong."

My heart raced as I heard doors being opened as the girls screaming out in so much excitement. I looked back nervous just to see all the girls were in colorful bright revealing dress as they jumped up and down excited that they were going to go get a chance with the Akuhei brothers. There was about four of them in front of me making me frown deeply. There are usually two girls, for one brother, to chose from... what had happened to her? I then slowly looked back at the waiting Kumori as she was staring at me in awe as the other girls started to file in still almost screaming my ear off. I then say in a very soft nervous voice
