Summary: Lilith Todoroki is the youngest daughter and child of Enji Todoroki. King of the Vampires. Katsuki Bakugou is the eldest and sole son of Mitsuki Bakugou, the Chieftess of the werewolf tribes directly across the treaty line of The Bloody River. But when vampires suddenly break the treaty and start killing werewolves, Katsuki and his family will do anything they can to protect their own, even kidnap the Princess of Enji Todoroki, the most feared vampire he had ever heard of.
But as they get closer, they discover a sinister secret that will put brothers against sisters and cast the mortal enemies into a final showdown between good and evil.
A/N: this came out of nowhere. I was inspired. Enjoy
Enji Todoroki walked towards the woman lifted on the pyre, the resemblance clear as day though she was no longer the daughter he had been so prideful of. When he reaches her he plants his feet, pushing his chest out and angling his spine to appear larger than before, crowding her in with intimidation.
He grabs her delicate chin between his fingers, eyes glowing with anger as he looks at her with disgust and slight hesitation. But he knows the laws are absolute and as King, he has to hold everyone to equal standards. Especially, if not more so, his children. They either fell in line or were tossed away.
"I am not a kind man. I know this. But I am just. Repent. Swear to all the Gods, old and new, that you will never again approach a Were or be discovered so close to daylight." She doesn't blink, only stares into his eyes with hatred, something familiar climbs up his throat but he swallows it down, returning her glare. It enrages him, how much like the blonde mutt she seemed to be becoming.
"Let the sun come. I am at peace with your decision." She sets her jaw and lifts her nose to the sky.
They don't get to see her cry.
Warm fingers trailed along her neck, tilting her head back, a brush of something soft and light against her shoulder blade, a kiss perhaps.
"Say it." The voice says, heavy and warm breath fawning over her skin as he pants, his nails dig into her hips and pull her back against solid chest, his heart beats quickly while hers doesn't at all. He bares his teeth, growling as he nips her neck.
The sound of the evening church bells abruptly jolt Lilith Todoroki from her sleep. She starts, gasping as she opens her eyes to stare up at the lid of the ornate, sleek black coffin that is her resting place. The sun has gone down, the day has come.
She opens the lid slowly, allowing her muscles to stretch and cracking her neck as she adjusts to the items in her room. It's barren mostly, a few journals and a couple books, a poppet her mother made her before their father sent her to live with the shaman vampires, the women there would take care of her and give her the help she needs. Or so Lilith's father said.
Being a vampire was hard enough. But being the youngest daughter of Enji and Rei Todoroki made it downright difficult. Though suitors came from far and wide to bend the knee to her father and swear their fealty to her father, if only he would let them marry her.
But Enji Todoroki, the Vampire King and arguably one of the oldest, rivaling even the famed Toshinori, or All Might as his comrades and enemies would call him, had other plans for his children.
Lilith thought about these plans as she dressed, brushing her long black tresses and smoothing down the long emerald green dress she wore. It complimented her skin perfectly, her eyes looking even brighter as she twirled slightly, watching the bottom billow out.
Enji Todoroki was a pure blood vampire. Meaning his lineage was centuries old, he could trace his ancestors back to Vlad the Impaler, and this was a sense of deep pride for the selfish King. And so, in order to keep his bloodline pure he had married a cousin, and how could Ren protest to such a handsome and powerful vampire.
But the King was cruel and ruled with only one thought on his mind, keeping his lineage thriving and the kingdom in his family line.
So it didn't matter how many suitors called. Lilith was promised to her brother, Shoto. Neither minded each other, but neither were ecstatic either that they had been promised to each other since childhood.
When she entered the dining room, her Father sat at the head of the table, arms folded and with an unreadable expression. She did as she had done since she was a child, walked to her father's side, kissed his cheek and took her place beside Shoto and Natsuo. Fuyumi, her eldest sister, sat across from her and smiled kindly. Enji took a sip of dark red liquid, served to him in a clear glass with gold trim, before meeting each of his children's gazes.
"Touya is gone." Lilith felt her heart drop to her stomach. She and her siblings looked to their father with questioning eyes.
"What do you mean?" Fuyumi, Lilith's older sister, who had been forced to raise her siblings in their mothers absence, spoke first. Shoto, Lilith and Natsuo looked to Enji, waiting for his response.
"He has not returned from the night prior. None have seen him." Lilith felt a chill run down her spine and focused on maintaining her stillness.
No one could ever doubt the love that had fostered between the two siblings, Touya taking possession of Lilith since she was an infant. Almost raising her in their father's place. He was undoubtedly, her best friend.
She's snapped out of her thoughts by the clearing of a throat and Natsuo kicking her shin under the table. She shot him a glare only to realize that all eyes were on her.
"I don't know where he is." The honest hurt in her voice leaves little room for argument as Enji tuts his tongue and folds his hands and rests his elbows on the table.
"He is ill." There's no response, only the nodding of heads as Enji carries on. The vampire clans in the North stuck close, living in villages or small kingdoms like their home. Choosing to band together and defend themselves against their mortal enemies. Humans and Werewolves.
But if ever anyone were to find out of the disappearance of the eldest Todoroki son, the kingdom Enji held onto so tightly could slip through his hands.
"Natsuo. You will find him and drag him back here." Enji stares his son down, daring him to challenge him, and though Natsuo was never one to hold his tongue, he dared not test his father's wrath in this moment, always playing a mental game, Natsuo liked to think he was always a step ahead. He was already brainstorming places Touya might have run off to.
"Lilith," he turned his gaze to his prize. His youngest daughter that he held closer than any of them. She was the beauty, the treasure that any man would gladly stand in the sun and turn to ash for.
And she despised him for it, cursing the day she was born.
"Tonight you hunt. You're no longer a fledgling. It's time you become a woman." He stands, motioning for her to do so as well. He stands in front of his daughter, looking down at her, not unkindly, but even snakes smile before they bite. "You are to bring back the white doe of Hel. Bring her to me alive, and you will take her life with me......I could not be prouder to have this night with you. I wish Touya had stayed." His words made Lilith's stomach churn, the underlying threat that came with failure weighing on her mind.
"I won't let you down papa."
Fuyumi sat at the bath's edge as she washed and cleaned her younger sister's skin, washing her gently and handling her as if she were glass, knowing very well she would not break.
"Fuyumi?" Lilith wondered aloud. Her sister paused, humming softly that she was listening. "when you......when you failed to catch the doe on your hunt.....how did papa punish you?" She sat for a moment, letting the question hang in the air before softly replying.
"I didn't.....mother wouldn't allow it." She smiled softly as she helped her sister from the warm bath. "Course that was before she was ill. You must know she was fierce about her children. Protective in that way. She took the brunt of father's anger. For us.....I think that's partly what drove her mad."
Fuyumi helped Lilith into a deep black gown, dark as night, it made her appear nearly invisible against the dark night as she moved too quickly for most with average eyes to see.
Lilith watched her sister through the mirror as she fussed about her hair, she chewed on her bottom lip in quiet contemplation.
"If you had been born anything else than what we are now....what would you have chosen, if you could?" Fuyumi smiles, a small bit of delight blooming deep in her heart. Lilith was as curious as a child, always asking odd questions that seemed out of place. It was a quality Fuyumi both embraced lovingly and envied only slightly.
"Mother called me swan. So I suppose that's what I'd choose." Lilith thought it was fitting.
"Beautiful as the night too. Just like you." Fuyumi chuckled and kissed her sister's head.
"Come now sister. It's time."
"Hey Katsuki! Heard you're going for the hunt tonight. Gonna actually catch a blood thirsty vamp this time?" Katsuki Bakugou, Prince of the Bakugou clan and future King of Howitzer Village. The werewolf encampment on the banks of the Bloody River, that separated the vampires from the werewolves. It was a treaty line.
He snarled at the blonde boy who has caught up beside him, throwing his arm around the angry prince's shoulders.
"God Kaminari, everytime I see you my brain fries just a little bit more." A snort of laughter could be heard from Sero Hanta, a dark haired, Alpha dream boat of a warrior, he's clapped on the back roughly by Eijirou Kirishima, the most chivalrous Alpha of all the warriors the clans had to offer.
Denki Kaminari, who has goaded Katsuki in the first place, was a beta and a foot soldier, but he was as brave as any man in Katsuki's tribe, with wits as slick as steel and a sense for premonition none of the other men seemed to have.
"Calm down Katsuki, I was just joking," he said with a small pout. Katsuki ignored him as a tall blonde woman, who resembled him greatly walked towards him.
"Mother." Katsuki said stiffly. Normally he would refer to her as 'old hag' but for today he would play by the rules. She did get him here of course. He wouldn't be without her, and he did love her. He just couldn't show it. His pride always betraying the kind words he wants to say in favor of a nasty or haughty remark.
She smiled, seemingly pleased that he was being tame for now. She reached up, ruffling his hair.
"Are you prepared for the hunt tonight my son? Tonight, you prove your worth as a man, as the leader of my armies and as the future chief of our tribe."
"I am." He challenged, puffing out his chest as he maintained eye contact, red eyes meeting and staring each other down. She smirked, tilting her nose into the air.
"Good. If you snatch one of those filthy little bats back, I want it alive. I want to know why they're hunting us now." Katsuki nodded. The treaty that had been upheld by both the vampires and the werewolves had been suddenly and abruptly broken in the span of the last several months. Many werewolves going out to hunt only to never return and be found later, drained of all blood. It was a constant thorn in Katsuki's side and his fingers twitched at his mother's command.
"Would be easier to raid their kingdom," Mitsuki Bakugou, pressed her finger to her son's lips.
"They are hard to kill my son. Nearly impossible. I have my doubts tonight but would be just glad with a boar." She places her hand on his shoulder. "you will bring pride to your family once more Katsuki." She squeezes a little bit before suddenly grabbing a handful of his hair. "So stop trying to be so damn reckless and put everyone in danger you damn brat!"
****************************************
Lilith licked her lips, she poised her self in a lunging position, dark eyes causing her to look even more like the frightful hell beings others feared vampires were. Only the nobles stood circled around her, the vampires deemed worthy in her father's eyes to have a place at his table. Ochako, Lilith's dearest friend, smiled kindly at her from her place beside her mate Izuku.
Enji stepped into the circle, everyone bowed, leaning forward to greet the king with gratitude. He leaned down in front of Lilith, his breath tickling her ear. "Do not embarrass me." He hisses, his words sharp as a sword cutting through her. She didn't acknowledge him, choosing to focus on the trees in front of her. "And....." Enji whispers, the deathly silence making his words echo off the foyer walls. "Go." She jolted, her legs moving on command, before the word left his lips, she needed to be back before sunrise and had only three hours to find the doe and bring it back.
She ran blindly, having never hunted on her own before, she didn't realize when she crossed the treaty line, she didn't see the sandy haired shadow, larger than her father and brothers together as it followed her with it's red eyes, tracking her every move.
In his wolf form, Katsuki can smell the warm blood of an animal from miles away, completely in tune with nature. So when this creature ran past him, so fast he barely caught it, it stopped him in his tracks.
He didn't smell any blood. And he couldn't hear the heartbeat of the creature either. His instincts became primal and he hunched, approaching the creature like prey. As he got closer he almost stopped. It was a woman, she was turned away but he could see her gown and her raven colored hair. But no pulse. And no blood.
Lilith stopped in a clearing. Unable to stop herself from drinking in the beauty around her that was the moonlit wildflower grove she stood in. The flowers bent gently with the breeze as if greeting her and welcoming her to their quiet solitude. Just a moment. She thought. Only a moment.
Katsuki approached her quietly, she was unlike the vampires he read about. How could she not hear him. Or smell him? Not knowing she was distracted by the beauty around her, Katsuki took advantage of her unguarded position and lunged.
Something heavy and hard suddenly knocked the wind from Lilith's lunges as she was sent rearing back into the trees. She smacked hard into a large oak tree before sinking to her knees at it's roots. She hissed, jumping to her feet and glaring in the direction of whatever hit her. Her stomach began to churn with dread.
"Oh shi-" Katsuki didn't give her time to finish as he lunged again, snarling and biting at her. He jumps up, pushing against her chest until she's on her back beneath him, his fangs inches from her face. She scrambled, clawing at the dirt, searching for anything. Something firm and solid digs into her palm and before he can bite at her, she reached up, slamming the rock into the side of his head. He whined, stumbling back, but just as she was on her feet, he was at her again, this time she was ready, grabbing around his middle and tossing him to the ground. It had little effect, he sprang up again and attacked her once more. Unbeknownst to her he was using strategy, wearing her down until she was too tired to fight back.
Except it doesn't happen. She just keeps coming back again and again. Until a frenzied bite from a worm out Katsuki, suddenly leaves her paralyzed from the waist down. She crumbles, unable to stand any longer.
"Get back." She gasps, her claws reaching out to swipe at the beast as it moves closer. Her stomach is swirling, acid is rising, she gagged, her body quivering. "What did you do....you.....beast......" Her head fell onto the arch of her arm, cheek pressed into the cool night grass.
Katsuki shifted, his eyes never leaving the now unconscious creature. He knelt down beside her, moving her hair back from her face. He felt his own face heat up, she wasn't ugly-no it wasn't that. She was beautiful, smooth skin, and long dark hair, that curled over her shoulders and pressed behind her ear
Without a word, Katsuki lifts her over his shoulders and began to trudge back to the village. At least he'd be a hero tonight. But what was with him biting her. It was a question he needed the answer too. Could this be the answer to their vampire problem? Only the Gods knew.
