Just as usual they had celebrated Cyrus forgetting about Darius existence. Once Darius felt like he had seen enough, he turned around to leave.but was stopped by surprisingly Cyrus
"I know you and I are not close or mom and dad dont want me around you but I figured it's your birthday as well but you've never experienced what it feels like to be celebrated or given a Birthday present. Here Darius,my first birthday present to you....happy birthday darius....".
Darius choked and tried his best not to cry instead he collected the gift and looked away, tears trickling down his face.
"Thanks... I have nothing to...."
"It's fine Darius. I just wanted to be your friend"
Darius finally could not hold it any longer. He broke down crying and trembling.no matter how mature he tried to act, no matter how strong he tried to portray, he was just a seventeen year old child that longed to be loved by a family just like everyone else...
That night, tired of pity parting, Darius stabbed himself hoping to end his miserable life declining his Body from healing so he could die faster but he survive. But the Darius that longed for familial love disappeared no longer wanting attention no longer wanting love, he started off on a new goal...
...Growing stronger...
All six emotions completely disappeared
Love, anger, hate, jealousy they all completely left him leaving only one...
.....Pain.....
Pain was the only thing left in him constantly reminding him of who he was and how he was supposed to grow stronger.
Blood abilities was what vampires were afraid off. It was forbidden and any one who learnt it became the most feared and dangerous and that was what Darius had learnt.
When Kiel, Darius father had learnt about what he did to himself, he compromted his wife about them neglecting him and his feelings
But it was already too late....
"What will you do hazel if Darius grows up and hates us?"
"Why should he hate us? We gave him shelter...."
"Can you listen to your self? You...."
"Enough Darius is your son not mine go and take care of him stop bugging me. I told you I didn't want him in the first place
