The Naruna brothers' secret has come out! How will Iruka cope with this situation? Will he continue to work for them? Is he sure he wants to be in a house full of vampires?

Dream:

It was a sunny summer's day. I was playing in the garden. I was flying and trying to catch butterflies. I was just a baby. I was about a year old and barely able to walk, but I was so fascinated by butterflies that I gladly ran after them. However, someone grabbed me from behind and began to film with me. I couldn't see the face, it was shrouded in blackness, but I could hear the sounds all too well. It was a laugh. A coarse, strong male voice laughing. I laughed, too. He spun me and spun me. Suddenly, I don't know how, we appeared in a library.

"Someday I'll teach you all this, Iruka."The voice said again, but I didn't know what. What will he teach me? What's that supposed to mean? It was all gone again and I was in bed. The room was lit only by a burning candle. I felt scared. I was afraid of the dark. But the gentle touch put it all away. Someone was stroking my face. The fingers were soft and soft, as if an angel himself were touching you. A woman was bending over me. Her face was as veiled as the man had been. But I didn't mind. I felt safe. The feeling of security warmed me all over. The woman began to hum what song. The melody was slow. There wasn't much to pick up on, but the words played in my head.

"Have all or nothing. To be a lowlife or a prince.

Land far away, there are spells.

Land far away, there are strange things.

But do not be afraid, my dear.

Welcome them and be vigilant. Protect her, cherish her like a mother.

Well, she'll give you a paw in tight spots, too.

Iruka, the land is far away.

This is where it all began and this is how it is.

This is where it all ends and that is how it is. Iruko that land away.

Don't worry and keep going."

As soon as she finished her song, she disappeared. And with it, everything. I found myself alone in the woods. I was so scared. There was no one around. Why did they leave me?

"Mother..Mootheer!!”I screamed and I woke up.

All dewy, I surged into a sitting position and tried to calm myself. I had this dream quite often in the beginning when I came to the orphanage. I was four years old when I was brought into the orphanage. He said I've had nightmares for half a year. Most likely from that solitude. I don't remember them, but this dream was my awareness. It's like it's not a dream, it's a memory.

I immediately started looking around the room. It was my room at the brothers' residence. I was in my bed. I sighed and lay down in bed. I closed my eyes for a moment and thought. It clicked right away.

"Oh, my God, I'm at their house!"I yelped for the second time and surged up into a sitting position again.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

I didn't stay in it this time. I uncovered the covers and started to get up, but a whiff sped past me and I ended up lying in bed again. It was Haru. He held me and tried to smile, but it wasn't the smile of a raccoon. There was something sad about him.

"Calm down. We're not going to hurt you."

"Yeah, I could see that.." I said.

"You have to lie down. You were unconscious for two days."

"Two days?!"

"Yes. You fell off a cliff. Fuyu went to look for you right after the incident. You've been hurt pretty badly."His voice was contrite.

I felt sorry for him. He felt sorry for the incident. My heart sank. I wanted to see him laugh again. It didn't suit him when he was sad. Mostly it made me feel sorry for myself. I was sorry I thought they were monsters, but they treated me well all the time. And I thought such horrific things about them. I'm sick of it.

"Natsu's not evil. He's just... he's not very good at controlling himself. We were going to tell you at the appropriate time, but because of the accident, events have turned out a little differently.."He smiled a little.

"Natsu really regrets it. He sat here all day checking to make sure you were okay. We were all worried about you."

“You..are..worried about me?"I couldn't believe it.

"When-when you know me only briefly. How can you trust me? I can turn you in."

Haru began to laugh at the top of his lungs. I cocked my head in puzzlement. What did I say now?

"Turn us in? If you wanted to do that, you wouldn't have left alive."Said the newcomer.

The poisonous comment belonged to Fuyu. Haru glared at him.

"Don't scare him. He's already confused."He rebuked him.

Fuyu chuckled.

"Could I ask you, I'd like to be alone for a while and sort my thoughts out. After all, I never believed vampires existed."

Haru just nodded and got up. He walked slowly over to Fuyu and tapped him on the shoulder. Fuyu didn't move, though. He focused his gaze on the window. He watched and said nothing.

He watched and said nothing. I figured he must have been trying to tell me something, so I didn't object.

"Th-thank you. Thank you for saving me. For standing up to Natsu. Even for bringing me back. Thank you very much, sir. I'm indebted to you." I got out of bed and got down on my knees and bowed deeply.

"Oh, my God, get up right now, you moron. You fell off a cliff. You're lucky you only have bruises and scars. And you're laying there on the ground. Are you crazy?!"He yelled at me from across the room. At vampire speed, he came running up to me and took it and threw it into bed.

"Ouch! This isn't helping me either!"I croaked.

"Shut up." I just looked down and got more comfortable in bed. Why is he looking at me so worriedly? Do I look that bad?

"Lift up your shirt."

"Please?!"I caught my T-shirt and pulled it off more.

"I'm a doctor. So shut up and roll up your shirt."

"Pfff. I'll trust you on that. “ I said ironically.

It was as if a dark aura had formed around him. His face had turned black, and all you could see were the glowing blue eyes. I take it back. He sometimes looks like a monster.

“How dare you talk to me?! Take that shirt off!"He said in a deep and very stern voice.

"I am so sorry, sir."

Because I know what he does to people when they piss him off and when I add that he's a vampire. I don't want to tempt him. Haru had promised not to hurt me, but I wouldn't be so sure about Fuyu. I took off my shirt and lay back on the covers. I looked at myself and I really looked terrible. My scars and chest were all over the place, and I had blue spots all over it. My right hand was tied. It was only now that I realized how badly my arm was hurting.Fuyu put on an icy expression again and began to feel my stomach and ribs in different ways.

"Don't wiggle. I need to see if they're healing properly.”

"But that hurts."

"Then you're not supposed to fall off a cliff."

"You should have told me at the beginning."

“Are you still going to talk me back so casually?”

"Excuse me, sir."And I looked down.

"I'm not your owner to call me sir."

"Understood."

"That doesn't mean you'll talk to me as an equal. Just don't say it too often, sir. It gets on my nerves."

"As you wish.”

"You seem to have it all bruised. It would be nice if you just lay there for a while, let your body regenerate in peace. Aki will bring you food afterwards."He said casually, and walked away.

"Fuyu?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"Don't thank. I will always protect you...Iruka."And he disappeared.

I sat up like a scalded dog. I will always protect you.. We were worried about you.. What he said to me leftover is what blissful warmth you are. I feel... like I'm part of a family.
