DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR (DARK MOON　-黒の月: 月の祭壇-)

Jakah!

Let go of Heli.

If you want him, come and get him.

Jakah!

Chris, what are you doing?

I came to save you, Sooha.

From these vampires.

I'm the only one who believed you.

So you should trust me, too.

Have you forgotten whose fault my death was?

You're not Chris.

Who are you?

Who do you think?

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -

That's Fate -

Damn...

I'm disappointed by how weak you are.

Do you want to meet the same fate again?

Who are you?

Why do you want Sooha?

Stay here.

Sooha, come here.

Is he a vampire?

Be careful.

Sooha!

Sooha, are you okay?

Heli, I...

That's not the Chris I know.

Chris isn't one of them... He's not a vampire!

I'm sorry, Sooha.

This is what I am.

You can hate me if you want, but can I flee with you for now?

I just want to take you someplace safe.

Heli!

Heli!

Let go!

Why are you going with them?

Why don't you understand? I'm doing this for you.

Solon!

Wolves?

Sooha!

Khan?

Solon!

They just keep coming.

Don't!

If you keep getting in my way, I'll knock you out if I have to.

He's no ordinary vampire!

Let's hit him with everything we've got!

What?

Come on, while we have the chance.

You really don't know anything, do you?

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -

Th-Thank you.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry for lying to you.

We've kept our identities hidden ever since we left the orphanage.

We just couldn't tell you.

You hating us scared us way more than anyone else finding out we're vampires.

I'm sorry, Sooha.

Honestly, I'm confused.

I can't believe you're vampires.

You grew up at the orphanage together, right?

How did you all become vampires?

Were you all bitten as children?

We don't know.

We've been vampires for as long as we can remember.

It was an orphanage in name only.

We were actually imprisoned and kept under close watch.

For a long time, that was our whole world.

We don't know anything for certain.

We don't know if we were bitten or born this way.

Not only that, but unlike other vampires, we're fine with sunlight and crosses.

Then how do you know you're vampires?

I know you have special powers, but you could be different, like me.

We get the urge to drink blood.

We instinctively seek it out.

We don't want to eat anything else, and we don't die if we don't.

But we only drink blood once a year.

On our birthday.

We only drink the blood of recently deceased animals.

We've never hurt a person, and we've never drunk human blood.

We swore to each other we wouldn't.

It's true. Please believe me.

No, you don't have to believe me.

I'll do my best to convince you.

Why did you come to save me?

I said those terrible things to you.

I felt like I had to.

Like I had to protect you.

Since the moment I first met you...

I've felt like that was my destiny.

Until then, I didn't know who I was or how I should live.

But for the first time, I felt like I'd found the answer.

I was born to protect you, and I have to keep protecting you.

Heli...

Do you want to bite my neck?

What? We shouldn't do that!

I trust you.

Are you okay, Sooha?

Yeah. You barely put your mouth on me.

What about you?

You seem strained.

Did you want to drink my blood?

I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the impulse.

But not losing your trust is more important.

I don't want to disappoint you.

You trusted me after learning what I am.

I don't want to betray you.

I'm not disappointed.

You've never betrayed me.

Until now, I've hated vampires more than anything.

I thought they were dangerous monsters who attacked people.

But you always came to my rescue when I was in danger.

That made me really happy.

Knowing you're a vampire won't make me hate you.

I'm sorry for saying those awful things earlier.

You haven't changed since the moment we met.

I'm glad we got to know each other more.

I hope you'll always be my friend.

Thank you.

Heli!

Jakah? Is that you, Jakah?

Yeah. That guy vanished. Is Sooha all right?

Yeah. How about you guys?

Some minor injuries, but everyone's fine.

I see.

Should we come to you?

Oh... but Sooha wouldn't like that.
