"Arrrgh, damn it.".
Sebastian groaned as he slowly stood up from the grasses where he was laying.
"What happened?" He questioned himself, once he was able to stand on both feet, he began scanning around to see where he was.
At first, he wasn't all that certain, but after he caught a glimpse of the huge spurt of flames coming from the garden, everything became evident to Sebastian.
From the mansion getting half collapsed, to the shaky ground, even the cries of people battling each other.
"Shit shit shit!" Sebastian began to run, looking to his left to see a huge red magic circle appear above the mansion.
Sebastian took a sharp turn and began running further into the garden while disregarding the mansion.
"Milady?!"
"Where are you?!"
"Milady!".
Sebastian cried out as he went on, looking around to make sure he wouldn't skip her in his haste.
But his calls were quickly answered when he found Erza kicking back on a boulder.
Sebastian couldn't help but smile, his top priority had always been to protect her, and now that he had found her, he could get back to it, or so he thought.
Before he could even think of calming himself, he was back to his disturbed state when he noticed the man dressed in a dark cloak and holding a double sickle in his hand approaching Erza.
Erza coughed out blood from her mouth, her face covered in bruises that came from the constant beating she got.
Erza mopped the blood on her lips and looked up at the man who was slowly getting closer to her.
'What the hell is this man? No matter how many times I injure him, he always regenerates so fast. That even surpasses the speed of a vampire.' Erza thought to herself.
Her face was slowly healing, leaving only the imprint of the blood on her cheeks and hand.
"I must commend you, you put up quite an interesting display for me." The man said, rotating his sickle around as he walked, "I can say, I'll definitely enjoy killing you… a lot".
"Milady!" Sebastian yelled before he began running to her side.
But the cloaked man wanted no interruptions, so he immediately put up a a barricade, leaving Sebastian outside.
"A barrier?!" Sebastian yelled when he noticed the barrier but he didn't stop his approach.
"Coward! You hear me! Let her go and face me, you damn coward!" Sebastian materialized a huge black iron out of thin air and slammed it on the barrier but nothing happened.
He didn't stop there, he kept on slamming the iron continuously with the hope of wrecking the barrier.
But just while he was at it….
Someone, wearing a dark cloak rushed out of the bushes and they wanted to tear him apart with their claws.
Sebastian was forced to let go of the iron he was holding and jumped back to avoid the person.
"Damn it, I don't have time for this!" Sebastian yelled, standing to his feet as two long iron rods appeared in his hands, "Get out of my way!".
The individual went to all fours with their tail standing up while they grunted like a wide beast getting ready to strike.
The man inside the barrier smiled as he watched Sebastian battle the person.
"Truly a sight." The man said, looking at Erza whose eyes were filled with rage at the moment.
The man sighed and moved back, "Not once throughout our battle did you use your Demonic eye on me, I find it so you underestimate me… or is it something more?".
"Shut up," Erza said as she stood to her feet, she ripped the lower part of her dress away to give her legs more free movement.
"I don't know who you are, or why you've come here, but… I won't stand for this any longer." Erza voiced out, throwing the same hateful gaze at the man.
"You are in danger and yet you still talk as such you have the upper hand?" The man said before laughing.
"What are you talking about?"...
"Hmmm." The man immediately stopped laughing.
"You must have misunderstood something, I'm not the one in danger… you are a vampire, isn't that right? .... And to be frank, you're acting sucks, aren't that right...Brother." Erza voiced out.
The man paused for a while before he threw another laugh, "So you figured it out, eh… very impressive".
The man removed the hood from his face and Erza was able to take a long hard confusing stare at him.
"Let me guess, the eye of yours analyzed me?" Christian asked with a smirk on his face.
Erza's eyes were focused on the ground with a foreshadowed look on her face as she clenched her fist.
"What's so funny?... Why? Why the hell were you trying to kill me?!" Erza yelled with her left eye glowing red, "What the damn hell possessed you to want to kill your own sister? Answer me!".
"You ask why?" Christian said, not showing any expression on his face other than absolute seriousness.
"That damn eye of yours." Christian snorted while he pointed at her left eye, "Took everything away from me… honestly, I never really cared about all the attention you were getting just because you had the same stupid eye as father".
"But… one day I overheard father telling one of the high members that he plans to make you partake in the council selection and take his place." Christian continued with a disdainful look on his face.
"He looked at you as his prize possession, and when asked what he wanted for his first son, wanna hear what dear old dad said?" Christian gripped the sickle tighter, "Christin doesn't have the same curse I have, he stands no chance of beating any of the current council members… Erza has a better chance".
Erza listened, and even though she was disturbed by it she didn't let her emotions slip out.
"Do you get it, yes, I'm jealous of you, your big brother is jealous of you, and I couldn't care less, all I want is for you and Dad and everyone else to just die as I watch!" Christian shouted.
"That's how it is." Erza muttered, "Christin, I won't be holding back… get ready." She said with her eyes glowing.
The clouds started to turn dark and there were five dark floating orbs behind Erza, dancing around.
Christian took a fight stance and got ready, "Come on sis, I just poured my heart out, why so cold?!" He yelled and launched himself forward.
