A pink haired woman ran into our family restaurant, frantically screaming. “H-help me, please!” I barely spare her a glance, “get in the back, you’re scaring our customers.” My voice monotone towards the unknown woman. Unknown at least to people who aren't in the same line of business that my family has. Reiju, the unknown woman, lowers her head, grateful that we spare her hysterics. Moments later some of the lower ranked people that worked for us show up, panting. “You’ve chased her here; now make sure she is tied up and ready. I’ll be in when you're done. Pudding should be out back too.”
Yes, our business. We may run a nice and friendly family restaurant as a front, but what we really did was get rid of pests. And she is one of them. She is one of the experiments of Judge Vinsmoke. A set of vampires, Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji.
The original vampires had already been wiped out by our family and every Jim and Joe that’s in the same ‘business’. But this group of freaks were concocted in a lab. They were supposed to bring back the old blood. It was Judge’s plan. He is wanted for experimenting on all sorts of pests. Werewolves, wraiths, skintakers, shapeshifters, shadow walkers, you name it. But trying to bring back a pest that was already exterminated, that made him extremely dangerous and an extremely wanted man. Everyone who hunts these things knows about him, and everyone wants him dead. Linlin, or as we call her, Big Mom; Caught his trail and has sent us to catch his experiments.
Mama is the head of our operation, and biologically our mother. But don’t be fooled, she doesn’t care for us. She just thinks family's the strongest bond, and forces that ideal into our heads since birth. She makes sure we are all too brainwashed to go against her. As one of the oldest I know this first hand, and betraying her is something I would never do. No mater how much she preaches about blood and honor, she wouldn’t bat an eye if she had to kill us. But then again, neither would we.
Back to Reiju. Being new to this world of monsters, I wouldn’t expect her to know about us. We are a pretty big group, stationed throughout the country with different cover ups; some of us are even abroad. It’s part of mama’s plan to be all around the world. To destroy all the pests. Then the hunters who chase them. Until each and every one who knew about them is gone. She aims to make them fictional. Pure myths. But she’ll keep one of each. It’s a fascination of hers, collecting monsters. It’s what got her into this business. She’ll be the only one to have the legends. The things that go bump in the night.
That can’t happen if Judge is on the loose; he’ll just make more. And Reiju, one of the last captive vampires, just gave us our biggest clue. Well, she’s going to.
I stand, turning to walk towards the back. By now the others must have tied her down. It’s time to extort some information out of her. By any means necessary.
