Geno's POV

I finally reach a village and saw a sign for a clinic. I enter the clinic and got set up in a room with bandages wrapped around my arm. I saw dozens of people pass by. They were all friendly until my glitches faded away like the rest of my abilities. Soon as that got spotted people erupted with disgust instead, calling me a freak and chasing me out of town. I ran until I didn't hear them anymore. They were throwing numerous objects that hit or scratched me, then I tripped on a tree root. I slid behind a tree and try to catch my breath.

"Where the hell do I go now? What is this world?"I wonder

I hear quick running footsteps coming closer and look up to see a tall skeleton with purple eyes flashing his fangs as he stretched a hand to me.

"Come on. I can take you somewhere safe."He says

"W-Who are you?"I ask

"Part of the royal vampire council. Listen, I understand you're lost and scared but there isn't much time. There are angry mobs coming. We protect folks deemed to be freaks like you. Now come on."He says

I nod and he scoops me up, soaring away. He lands at a cabin and I look around and see a bunch of log cabins. I see one nearby with a light shining through the window. I see the curtain get brushed aside and a stranger peek out, watching us closely.

"This will be your new home. Settle in."My guide says, giving me the keys

I nod and settle in, locking the door behind me. I check my phone and see that it had a signal. I dial Reaper's number, calling while I have the chance.

"Geno?"I hear him say

"Reaper..I don't know where I am. Someone took me at random from what they said and took my powers. All I know is that there's this huge forest with villages, I was brought to one by a nice vampire who said I'd be safe here instead...This is the first time that my phone worked."I tell him

"Geno, this doesn't change a single thing. I'm going to find you and show you that surprise.~"He says

"Are you okay?"I ask

"Awww, worried?"He coos

"I didn't have a clue what happened and wanted to make sure you're okay."I say

"I can see your pouty face already. Adorable.~"He chuckles

"Shut up!"I say, feeling my face burn

He chuckles, hanging up. I go to sleep, then a few weeks later there was banging on the door. I open the door to find the stranger that was staring out their window now standing at my door with a boquet of flowers. They looked so much like Reaper. He extends the boquet to me.

"I've been watching you for a while and wanted to welcome you to the village. You are very handsome and adorable. I want you..."He says, shoving the boquet into my hands

"Um, thank you? And you want me to what exactly? Who are you?"I ask

"I am Reapandro, second in command of my tribe and I want to get to know you better."He says, stepping closer to me

He keeps coming closer and I keep backing up until I am against a wall, not having a clue what to do. I also realize the flowers were roses. I don't know anything about him or this world, have no powers or friends to back me up so fighting would not be an option, and have no clue what is going through his head. What kind of mess is this? He grins wider.

"Ummm, I dunno why you have such an interest in me and I am very flattered but I have a boyfriend-"I begin

"So do I. He helps me hunt fish. My tribe couldn't survive without him. Wait! What tribe are you from?"He asks
