Chapter 1, Tsuki.
In Tennessee, there isn't much for us to do but think and farm. But, my family isn't the type for lolly gagging around in the sun since we just burn, badly. I am Tsuki; I am going to tell you a little bit about me.



The reason why my family and I burn easily in the sun is because, well you guessed it. We are vampires. All vampires have a name is a different language. The only exception is that families must have names that are of the same language.



If you couldn't guess, my family chose Japanese; I am the head of the family since we are of the night.



My name means Moon in Japanese, my mothers--Yorunosora--means night sky, my fathers--Seiza-- means constellation, and finally my younger brothers--Nososuta-- means the north star. Since at night, the moon--me--is the biggest thing in the sky, I am the head of my family.



There are very few clans with names of Japanese culture. But, the vampire law states that we must mate with the clans with the same language as our names. No matter how similar the language, there are no exceptions to this rule. The upside is that you are allowed to interact with other vampires though their names are not the same language.



Enough with Introductions. Let us move onto the story:



~F*W~



Sitting on the couch of our forty bedroom, forty bathroom mansion's living room, I was reading a poetry book my old friend, Robert Frost, had written. That is when it had happened. "Tsuki! Come quick! Mother and Father wish to speak with you!" Though you were the head of the family, you still had to respect your parents. So, I stood up off of the sofa, and stretched.



"Suta, I am thirsty, go and have a maid fetch me a chicken," I demanded of him, "While you are gone, I will speak to Mother and Father." Suta was my nickname for him, since saying Nosusuta was too long.



"Yes sister," he replied rushing to a maid. I then glided through the halls to my study in my room (yes there were two rooms and a bathroom for my bedroom), and stood in the doorway.



"Mother, Father, you wished to speak with me?" I entered unannounced, they jumped a little signaling that they did not hear me come in.



"Yes, Tsuki dear. We wish to speak with you about what Grandmother Tsuki wishes for you," Mother stated taking about Grandmother as if she was her blood mother. Yes, my Grandmother was the head of the family or Clan. She said to my father, her only child, 'You will bear a daughter as your first child. You shall name her Tsuki and she will be the next head at the age of 17.' My father was appalled at what she had announced, but gladly went along with it.



"What about Grandmother?" I asked, thinking of the woman who still looked 18, my age, and was my exact double. At the age 17, you stop aging. My brother is but 10, and is no where near reaching that age.



"Well, Grandmother Tsuki wishes to stay here and start your training since you are of maximum growing age," my Father said shakily, "She wishes your permission to come and live with us at the mansion." I stared at them blankly.



"She shall live in the fifth suite. Have the maids prepare her room," I stated my eyes closed. Just then, a maid came in with teacups and a teapot of freshly boiled blood, "Thank you Nokon," I said to the girl. As she then bowed and left the room empty handed. I took a teacup and gave one to my mother and my father. I poured them some of the refreshment and after that, poured myself some. As I sipped the drink, I felt it caress my dry throat. Then, my father cleared his own.



"Tsuki, we are not finished speaking with you," he stated, his face red fearing what I would do to him for speaking out of turn.



"Then please, Finish your speech my dear parents," I said. I was in too good a mood to punish anyone today. They gulped.



I sipped my drink "Grandmother Tsuki wishes for you to wed as soon as your training is finished," at that announcement, I choked on my drink. My mother and father sprang up to help by patting me on the back. When I was finished with my little episode, I took a few minutes to breathe. But, that was not helpful. I fell to the floor, hearing my mother and fathers cries for a servant. Next, everything was fuzzy. Then it was black.
