It was just the same ordinary day for Rain. She was laying on her bed in her room reading a manhwa she had found a couple weeks ago on her phone.

It was basically about a vampire trying to survive and overcome his abusive older sister. All his life he tried to figure out why he hated her but he never found out anything. While he was young the servants would verbally harass him, but as he got older and more powerful they stopped. As he grew he came to realize that his sister would never love him and so his hatred festered. Long story short, the vampire teamed up with the fiance of his sister to set a trap and kill her. After a whole squabble and finding out the vampire’s sister was stronger than they knew, they eventually killed her together. Good riddance. Rain had passed that part and watched the friendship between the vampire and werewolf bloom. As well as others forming a large family that supported him, including sirens, a mysterious figure named Pepp, a catgirl and many others. Rain was currently at the semi-finale of the second volume that was the werewolf man named Jason and his family dying a tragic death at the hands of the vampire lady's vengeful father. Rain wouldn't lie, she cried a little.

“Vermin, I would advise you to stand down. I have already acquired the life I had come for.” The elder vampire’s voice was fear inspiring and deep. “Father.” Damien snarled in fear and rage at the vampire in front of him that stood before the corpses of his best friend and family. Damien had come alone, not wanting to put any of his new family in danger. “DO NOT, call me that.” The vampire looked him over before stepping closer to Damien. “You, boy, do not see me as your Father.” Damien stepped back as the elder vampire leered over him. “ And I do not want to be your Father, you are a mistake. You should not even be alive.”

“Damn what an asshole.” Rain said aloud.

Damien started hyperventilating as killing intent leaked from the figure before him. The blood-red eyes of the elder vampire bore into him, his body stood petrified. “You, your whole existence is wrong, boy.” Damien’s heart dropped, he didn't think he was still holding on to the hope that he would be accepted, he had already killed that old bitch after all. But here he was being hurt by the words of someone he should hate with a burning passion. “NO!” A voice came from the Luccheses family's broken door. A girl with cat ears and tail entered and glared at Mr. Serpens in defiance. “Damien's existence is not wrong! He is one of the best people I know! You do not have the right to insult him when you are nothing but a shitty person!!”

‘You tell him girl!’ Rain cheered in her head.

Damien’s eyes shined in surprise and gratitude as he looked at his friend that stood up for him. “Girl, I do not know who you are nor do I care. But silence your tongue, for you do not know what it is I speak of.” The cat girl hissed at him. “Then do tell.” A graceful and poised figure walked in the doorway as well.

Rain paused as she tried to think of who this might be, she didn't see any build up for this character, they just appeared. Rain was really only reading for the characters. The plot honestly wasn't that good but she felt compelled to see it through as the characters were surprisingly fleshed out…And hot, but who didn't read for hot characters? Rain continued on.

“Dahlia, my paramour.” Mr. Serpens glared in anger at the stunning woman who had made herself known, but if you were to look deeper you could see hurt in his eyes. The woman sighed, “You always loved your insults, Mandrake.”

“And you always loved your male whores more than I.” Mandrake countered. ‘Ooooh.’ Rain could guess that this was Damien’s mom and she loved the drama she was bringing.

Dahlia didn't grace him with a response and simply said “Step away from my son, Mandrake.” Damien stood stunned for the second time tonight by the words that came from the woman. “HA! You wanted nothing to do with him since the day he was born. Throwing him to me to take care of him! You never cared for him, you forgot he even existed.” Mandrake narrowed his eyes and studied Dahlia intensely, ‘She never cared about either of her children. What has changed?’

Dahlia appeared in front of Mandrake faster than he could perceive. “Watch your mouth.” Before Mandrake could open his mouth he was backhanded into a wall that broke on impact.

‘Oh shit!’ Rain didn't see that coming but she liked it. “Awww, why did it end right there? Stupid cliffhangers. They should be outlawed.”

Turning off her phone and looking at the darkness that spread throughout her room in the night, she decided that it would be a good time to go to sleep. Snuggling under her covers she closed her weary eyes and drifted into the land of dreams almost immediately.

…

Rain was lying on the most comfortable material she ever felt, her body sinking deep into it before being bounced back up gently. The warmth around her couldn't be beat, it was just right. She heard sounds around her that she couldn't decipher, her ears blocking out certain syllables and jumbling up others. Her eyes flickered open, her blue orbs shining with a mystical luster. The sounds became chants she could hear a bit better but not understand. Blurry figures around her dressed in robes waved their arms, their fingers seemingly drawing shapes and sentences in the air. A hunched figure she spotted right above her head was hidden behind a similar robe. A voice echoed in her head.

‘You are awake child.’ The voice hurt to listen to, it made her head feel stuffy and her brain ache. “Where am I?” her voice sounded different to her ears. The voice raked across her head again. ‘Another place child, far from home. We have gifted you this body and blood sacrifice in order to bring you here, as it was the will of our Mother.’

“Blood?” Rain’s brain was slow to understand the implications of what she was hearing, but once she did she sat up with a burst of energy she did not know she had. Looking at the large pool of blood she was in she opened her mouth and screeched.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” The figures that lined the edge of the pool were blasted back and crashed into the walls around them. Cracking bones and screams of pain echoed in the spacious room. Rain didn't pay attention to them; she tried to rise but her legs buckled under her. She settled on crawling towards the door she spotted on the far end of the room. The blood sloshed around her hands and knees and she tried not to throw up at the feeling of it on her skin. Suddenly she felt a force strike her back, she stilled and heard the same voice in her head.

‘Rest child.’ The voice sounded tired and pained. She didn't have a chance to respond as she flopped face first into the pool of blood. 'Fuck...'

…

Waking up with a start, Rain raised herself from the suspiciously clean ground and whipped her head around, spotting the same figures scattered around the ground in much the same spots as when she was knocked out. Her breaths were frantic as she raised her hands to her face, they were much smaller and fairer than she remembered. Her hair was a completely different color and was long enough to fall on the floor and stretch behind her. She put her new hands on her face and felt her impossibly smooth skin. She didn't know where she was, she was in a completely different body and she was the victim of a definitely illegal demonic ritual that summoned her here. If someone had told her that she was going to be transported to another world by evil cultists, she would have recommended they take their pills and never stop.

Standing up Rain felt much more powerful than she had when she had first woken up, she could stand without difficulty now. She made her way hastily to the door, she didn't want to spend another second here. Putting her hand on the golden handle she felt a tiny electric shock on her fingers, but it was gone as quickly as it came. Opening the door she her world spun before it settled down and she stepped into the hallway of dark brown walls. Rain didn't stop to inspect her surroundings and ran down the hallway in a random direction with surprising speed.

“Hey! No running in the halls.” A man that literally stepped out of the walls yelled at her. She screamed as she continued to run down the hallway.

“Hey kid! Stop!” Rain ignored him as he floated after her and came to a dead end. She looked at the open window and braced herself.

“Goddamnit!” She heard a curse from behind her, icy fingers just missing her as she dived out of the window.

Rain realized she hadn't thought this through while she fell out of the window to her possible death. A tree came into her vision and she reached her hands towards an outstretched branch. Grasping the thick branch, her adrenaline filled brain didn't notice how odd it was that her arms did pop out of their sockets from the amount of force it took to stop her extremely high speed of descent. Letting go of the branch she dropped down the rest of the way to the ground and continued running in a random direction. Rain passed statues, fallen trees and broken benches. The destruction that surrounded her was being picked up by strange figures that looked nothing like humans. As she raced past them they turned to her and she could see things she only thought appeared in her nightmares. They were extremely large reptilian looking beings that shouted at her. Short green-skinned, long-eared and skinny people pointed and laughed at her.

“Stop! You can't be out here!” One of the large reptiles yelled after her. “Hahahaha! Who let their treat escape, wanna bet it was, Research Instructor Lenny?” A couple of the small green creatures made bets together before being reprimanded, “Shut up! You're letting it get away! Catch it, now!” Some of the little green people rolled their eyes but chased after her as ordered.

“'Ey! 'Ey! Stop running! Tell me who yer keeper is! I need'ta win this bet! I haven't paid my rent in 2 weeks!” The group of little creatures laughed and whooped as they gained on her.

“Leave me alone!!!” She screamed at them running past more strange and unfathomable monsters. She spotted an open gate and picked up speed. A crowd had gathered from the sound of shouting from inside the school. She spotted normal people that mingled in the group that watched her approach and suddenly it all clicked. This was all an elaborate prank, some studio decided she would be one of their unlucky victims and wanted to record her reaction to a horrifying situation. She chalked up the monsters, blood, and voice in her head to amazing props and new sound design that they wanted to test on her.

Arriving at the gate, Rain pushed her way through the crowd that had gathered, a hand from a large hairy figure landed on her shoulder. “What the fuck?! Don't touch me!” she screamed, the silhouette backed off in stupefaction. Rain looked towards a person that seemed relatively normal compared to the others that surrounded her. “Where the hell am I?! I swear to god I will fucking sue you people!” Sounds of confusion and laughs rang through the mob and they started closing in on her. “This is going too far for a prank- get away from me!!!” Rain finally managed to spot an opening at the end of the horde and forced herself through it.

Gasping, Rain fell to the ground. Her lungs burned, her legs and lower stomach started to cramp. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes from the feeling of her throat burning. Rain coughed making her throat burn even more, she felt like throwing up again. Hearing footsteps approaching, Rain hurriedly looked up. Her head was a mess. She was on the verge of a breakdown and she couldn't handle running anymore so she simply sat on the ground and faced the form that got closer.

“Oh, dear.” the figure bent down to as much as her level as they could despite their height. A hand reached downwards and wiped off the tears she thought she had held back from her face. Rain looked at the gloved hand that rested on her cheek, her gaze traveled up the arm attached to it and to the face of the person in front of her. Or as much of the face she could see as the woman’s face was hidden in the shadows of her umbrella and veil. Blood red eyes that studied her with such intensity she felt like she was being dissected.

“This, this is the thing I felt.” A child's scratchy voice came from another extremely tall figure that walked up to her. Rain turned towards it and immediately looked away. Her heart threatened to stop beating all together as she tried to remember how to breathe.

‘What the fuck was that?!’ Rain had never known true fear until she looked at that thing. It felt like she had just gone through a tremendously traumatic experience that she couldn't even remember. All she knew was that her eyes were never meant to see such a thing.

“Hmm, I understand Pepp.” The woman in front of her gently tapped her cheek with her palm. “Can you stand, dear?”

Slowly coming back to herself, Rain nodded her head weakly. The woman stood slowly and Rain followed, her body shaking slightly. The tall lady held Rain’s face lightly with her fingers and turned her head to the side.

“Tell me dear, who is your master?” The lady’s voice caressed her ears like a mother’s tender melody. “M-Master?” Rain croaked, as the woman searched her skin for something. The lady hummed in confirmation and Rain swore that sound alone could put her to sleep. “Yes dear, who is your owner?” The lady’s voice was angelic. Rain didn't understand how but she felt like a spell was being cast upon her. A small shudder ran through her body that broke her semi-tranced state. Shaking her head out of the startlingly cold grasp, Rain stepped back and looked at the imposing woman in front of her, the aura of gentleness dissipating.

“I-I don’t-'' Rain's mouth couldn't properly articulate what it was she wanted to say. Her tongue felt swollen. “Dear, look at me.” Rain looked up, she had started hyperventilating. “Calm yourself.” mesmerizing red eyes relaxed her mind. Another shudder snapped her out of it.

“St- Stop doing that, please!” Rain took another step back, getting closer to the monsters gathered behind her. “Y-you're really scaring me, please stop.” Tears of fear fell down her face. “Please. Please just tell me what is going on!”

Jeers and coos came from the mob around her. “Aaaaw, it's crying.” a voice that sounded as if it was underwater was heard. “Who does it think it’s talking to? That’s the Malecia, who taught this thing how to act?” another voice that sounded deep and gruff said in astonishment. Rain was too deep in her own terror and confusion to pick up on these keywords and instead turned angrily to the mass of people.

“Why won't any of you help me! I'm asking for help! Im about to have a fucking panic attack, what the hell is wrong with you people!!” Her voice cracked from the strong emotion she was feeling. The people before her were not fazed by her outburst in any way whatsoever. Instead they laughed and jeered even more so, relishing in her anguish.

“Aaaawww. We're making it angry guys.” “Hehehehe, can you believe this thing, what does it expect us to do? Steal it from its owner?” “My treat would never do something as embarrassing as this, I make sure to train them properly. I can give you tips on…” They conversed amongst themselves completely ignoring Rain who stood in front of them shaking like a leaf, a pit was growing in her stomach as another realization set in.

Taking another backward step, this time away from the gathering of creatures, Rain tripped over her own feet and crashed to the ground. She felt like a cornered rabbit but she didn't have the strength to bite.

“Dear.” The tall lady’s voice came from behind her. Even if she used a weird charm on her, at the very least she didn't call her a ‘treat’ and seemed to be genuinely trying to help her. Rain scrambled on the ground and grabbed the edge of the lady’s dress. She had nowhere else to go, she didn't know where she was, and this woman was the only one who made her feel comfortable even if she did it with some type of spell.

“Please, please help me. *Hicc*, please!” Rain looked pleadingly into the woman’s eyes. Before the woman could respond the crowd of monsters parted once more for the group of green little creatures that got tired of watching the show, and decided to finish the job they had been tasked to do.

“‘Scuse me Ms. Serpens, but this thing 'ere needs to come with us.” The creature with the darkest green skin in the group spoke up, his voice sounded like a sailor's. “Hmm, I understand my dear Darrkkin.” The one addressed as Darrkkin smiled happily. “I’m glad you understand Ms., now we'll just take this little ‘treat’ here and be on our way.” Its eyes shined with a greedy light. Rain shuffled away and held onto Ms. Serpens dress tighter.

Ms. Serpens’ body shook with mirth as she spoke once again. “I'm sorry dear, but as you can see,” She nodded towards Rain that clung to her. “it’s quite attached.”

Darrkkin’s face fell. He looked back at his group who shrugged and shuffled awkwardly.

“Do not worry Darrkkin, my dear. I promise to give you all something worth your time.” Ms. Serpens said sincerely. Darrkkin calmed down a little but did not seem to fully believe her. Darrkkin scratched his head and opened his mouth.

Rain blocked out the rest of their conversation and tried to think of anything that could tell her why the fuck this was happening to her.

‘I am apparently called a ‘treat’.’ The innuendo of what that may be was quite broad but at the same time simple. ‘That thing I saw was named Pepp and the green thing is Darrkkin and the really tall woman is named Ms. Serpens and how the hell is any of this going to help me- wait’ Rain’s mind grinded to a halt. ‘Pepp, I know that name. Isn't that the suspicious figure that helped Damien sometimes?’ She forced herself not to look for the thing, she did not want to make her brain explode.

‘If Pepp is here then is Damien and Jason also…’ Rain scanned the area around her. Two sirens that were talking to one another caught her eyes, their shimmering scales lulling her into another daze. One of the sirens looked at her and smiled, licking their extremely sharp teeth. She shrunk backwards before a man stepped between the sirens and Rain. Curly hair framed his youthful face in the same way it did in the manhwa. His skin looked like sweet chocolate she could take a bite out of. His muscular body being hugged tightly by his male servant suit. And his eyes, the amethyst irises looked her over with a questioning gaze, making her want to melt into the ground.

‘Damien.’
