Haunted Dark Bridal(A Diabolik Lovers Story)

Chapter 10: Origins

So once again, I will leave this warning. There is some heavy themes coming up in the OC's backstory and I hope that no one will be offended by this. I had this plan for her since the very beginning and it was difficult for me to figure how to write it in a way that no one would feel upset. For anyone who reads, this I'd greatly appreciate some feedback, as I'm not always sure how my story plays out to other people and am often clouded my own bias and love for it. Thanks for reading! Edit: I changed the father's name to something Japanese, since Jadey's last name is Honma. 

"I'm the product of a forbidden birth between a vampire and human. My father's name is Kousuke Honma . He was a very powerful vampire from long ago who was once thought to be considered an even match with your father, Karl Heinz. However, he constantly fought the corrupted ideals that your father had believed in, which made him cast out as a pureblood traitor. My father was a compassionate man, who only wished to bring fourth a prominent future for all vampires. However, with him being cast out the by the man who was said to be the next vampire king, the community lost their faith in him and he was left to walk alone with a burning hatred for his own kind. Not long after that, he met my mother, who showed him empathy unlike anything he'd ever experienced before. They fell in love immediately. But unlike the code which vampires are meant to follow, he refused to turn her into a vampire like him, He had fallen in love with her humanity. To turn her into a sacrificial bride...he couldn't bear the idea. So he left her unchanged and after a few years, she had become pregnant. It wasn't expected, in fact, it wasn't even supposed to be possible."

I paused for a moment to look at Laito's expression, to find his eyes staring sharply at mine. It was a little intimidating to find him so absorbed in my history but I sighed and continued.

"They tried to keep it a secret, but it eventually spread that they had conceived a hybrid. But instead of being disgusted at the truth, the vampire community reveled at it. Many families thought that this might be the vampires path to becoming human. From the time I was born, my parents received many marriage proposals from families in hopes that their offspring could breed with hybrid and create a new race of vampires who didn't require blood. My parents worked hard to hide me from the vampires for as long as they could, and in the mean time raised me as a regular child. Eventually though, a powerful and wealthy vampire family from the west appeared at our door. They introduced us to their son Frederick, before having a discussion with my father and mother. Like my father, they also wanted to go against Karl Heinz's reign and proposed that their son and I get engaged and be a symbol to their cause. At first, my father was reluctant. He didn't like the idea of giving his daughter away before she had the chance to choose. But Frederick's parents were restless. They were willing to give us anything in exchange for my future. My father relented and it was decided that I would become the fiancée of Frederick on my 14th birthday.

"I grew up being aware of the decision and lived my life as a regular teenager until the day he came for me. I had only met him once as a child, and I didn't take much consideration to how he would be as a young adult. When I first met him, he had the aura of a mature adult. He was attractive, with straight medium length black hair and golden eyes with a slender figure. But I had no idea what I was in for.

"The promise to his family was that on the day I would leave with their son, my father would leave my mother temporarily and work under a false identity for Karl Heinz. Their plan was to infiltrate his domain and regain favor. I felt bad leaving my mother behind but at that time, I truly believed that she'd be fine and I'd be able to find happiness in the situation for her sake. But I soon found out that it would be impossible for me.

"Frederick was a bloody tyrant. To him, I was nothing but a possession that would make him the strongest of all the vampires. Unlike his parent's ideals, Frederick simply wanted more power. He found the fact that I was a hybrid disgusting and would constantly berate me, claiming that the only reason he was engaged to me was because Karl Heinz didn't have any daughters he could marry. He'd say these horrible things to me all the time and would even beat me up and leave marks and bruises on me. The worst part is that I wasn't allowed to go home to see my mother or he would threaten to kill me.
