First Blood

Rumsfeld Castle

"Everything is ready boss"

The strong voice of the rude man at the door sounded in the entire room while a beautiful boy was applying his favorite red lipstick on his lips.

"Well done, let's go to welcome them"

The boy received an enthusiastic "yes boss" from that man, with that red lipstick on him the boy smiled at his reflection in the mirror, and even when he had those big dark marks under his eyes from crying a lot for his grandfather's death, he knew better than anyone that the life should have to continue and he couldn't cry forever, he has to take control of the clans or the war between them could start.

Although he knew he has to move on he also was planning his revenge against those who murdered the last family member he had.

That beautiful boy with big gray eyes and long black hair now was the leader of the seven families and also the new Cappi di tutti capi of the underground world. Since he was young, despite his delicate aspect and features he was trained as the next leader of the Rumsfeld family, the pilaf of the seven clans since the start of the times. At first, the boy was innocent and weak but now he had the darkest and cruel heart of any of the previous leaders of his family.

«Here we go, Grandpa...»

He thought while he take a last glance of himself in the mirror, and after he sigh to calm his nerves he leave his room and came down the stairs walking with a particular silent elegance until he reached the room where all the leaders always gathered for their meetings, he was wearing a beautiful ocean blue dress with his back discover and open in one side of his right leg, he also wears a pair of high heels in the same color as his dress, his long straight hair fell on his shoulders and back gracefully.

When he entered the room, all look at him with curiosity, of course, they do, they had never seen him before because that boy loves the mystery, he smiled at the confused faces of everyone and as he walked through the room his hair moved with his body like a beautiful waterfall, when he arrived at his grandfather's chair at the head of the large table he sat down there looking at all the leaders and their families with that small and arrogant smile of him.

All the guests looked at him shocked more because that "woman" was sitting in the chair of the “king” of the higher rank in that room.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" a man with long white hair and red fierce eyes shouted at him with anger.

"Shh…" the boy hush him putting one finger in front of his lips.

When he looked at that man he knew very well who that adult was, Raziel Becket if he didn't mistake him.

All were furious with the "girl's behavior" but nobody could say anything, the energy leaving that boy’s body was from a pureblood vampire so even if they wanted to refuse it was in their nature to obey that kind of vampire, they all made silent as that boy order and he started to talk again.

"Thank you for coming, we are here today for the horrible tragedy that happens a few days ago but I want to make an announcement first so...please take a seat"

A few days ago

"Little brat, come on boy. We are late"

A thirty years old handsome man with black short hair and gray eyes as clear as white, tall, manly, and with a good well-worked body was at the door of the living room. With that quiet and tired face, he was looking at his grandson trying to convince him to go with him to that reunion.

He was the leader of the Rumsfeld family, Daemon Rumsfeld, the last direct descendant of the first pureblood vampire of the Rumsfeld family, Seth Rumsfeld; so although Daemon looks quite young he was much older than he seemed to be.

"Grandpa, I love you but your meetings are always SOOOO boring" the boy remakes the word “So” laughing a little

Daemon laughs cheerfully looking at his grandson, that little brat always says the same but that wasn't a normal meeting.

"This one may like you, come on”

With that gray eyes shining with a little emotion Daemon make a kind of puppy eyes to convince his grandson to come with him. That day in that meeting Daemon was going to present his grandson, Ethan Rumsfeld; as the next leader of the seven clans; firstly because Ethan had grown up very well, and he was already as strong as he used to be, secondly because his grandson needs to take care of his duties the early the better and finally because he was already tired of everything, he wanted to die but of course dead was scary so he only wanted to rest a few years go easy his stress.

“Ok... But this time don't make me watch the meeting in a separate room”

Ethan looked amazed at his grandpa and couldn't say no to him, he get ready in a beautiful blue suit, they claimed a car that will drop them at a restaurant where the meeting will be held, they were talking about what they would see at the meeting but while they were in the middle of the way to the restaurant, a car hit them.

Their car rolled around the street several times, and they feel their world move but that wasn't anything they were vampires, after all, Ethan was a little confused so he didn't notice on time when his grandfather left the car, in a brief second someone shot an arrow directly into Daemon’s heart, it was a silver arrow with a powerful poison made of a beautiful blue flower called "Chernaya Dusha" or also known as the vampire flower.

It was the only thing that could kill a vampire, the venom from the thorns of the Dusha flower.

Ethan widened his eyes and open I'm his mouth wildly, he was seeing his grandfather disintegrating in the air, Ethan wanted to shout and hug him, but he knew that if someone knew he was there, they would also kill him, he could be the next victim of that poison and that scared him.

The young boy could only clench his hands in a fist helplessly and cry silently looking at his only family dying in front of his eyes. His grandfather fall to his knees consciously that he will die soon, he was looking in front of his eyes speaking his last words to him.

"Don't worry Eri… death will come to everyone, even us don't have eternity forever… don't move and listen to me, you must protect our clan, don't allow the Becket... steal all that belongs to you as they do with your parents… but the most important thing I want you to do...is to be … happy"

Anthony couldn't hear the last word clearly but the only thing his grandfather could say to him was that he should be strong. Ethan misunderstood his lip sync and thought it was that.

Present Time

After that car accident, Ethan wait in the car until the next morning came, he writes a message to his right hand saying him to pick him up at the address he send, he also canceled the meeting his grandfather had that day with the leaders. After they picked him up he went back to his house in a sepulchral silence only to lock himself in his studio preparing himself for his succession.

Ethan knew someone betrayed his grandfather and he was going to find out who was the rat in his home, of course, he also make that person suffer a lot.

After his order all of them look at each other confused and irritated, that only pleased Ethan the most, the leader sighed before sitting in their respective seat.

Raziel Becket was the only one that didn't sit in his chair, he was crossing his arms and approached the "woman" sitting in Daemon's chair, he looked at her furiously before he began to talk.

"Little girl, you don't have the right to be sitting in that seat" he split angrily

Anthony managed to use a sweet and delicate voice because he wanted to confuse the leaders so all of them still believed that he really was a girl for his voice tone and his clothes.

"Oh my, you are so wrong about that Mr. Becket, I'm the only one that has the right to be sitting here"

"You… Who are you?" Raziel keeps the word “impertinent” in his thoughts before he said them but his eyes already betrayed him.

"I'm… Ethan Rumsfeld, the son of Eliot and Ivy Rumsfeld, it's a pleasure"

All were astonished, starting with the fact that the boy was the supposed dead child of the couple Rumsfeld and more importantly because HE was a BOY and not a GIRL as he pretended to be.

Ethan crossed his discovered leg above the other one looking at them with a seductive smile, all gulped with a big blush on their faces, nobody could resist the temptation of looking at him with lust, he was incredibly sensual, beautiful, and sexy... Who could resist the desire to look at him?
