12 New Clan Leader Mara

If you wonder who can be the worst among both sides, both humans and supernatural beings are cruel.

By instinct, a wild animal can bite those who feed it, but it can devour one of its own?

What do lionesses do with their cubs? They lick them to clean them; they take care of them, in their wild instinct there is the maternal side.

A human covets what nature offers him, covets what some acquaintance has, but protects those he considers his own. But, can greed wins, against the desire to protect?

A supernatural being protects itself from human greed, protects those of its kind or clan, but can also seek pleasure in hunting humans, eating them, and slave them.

Can human cast aside their greed for having something that is a living thing, but it gives pleasure, fun, or services, they can slave supernatural beings, hunting and tortured them.

There has always been a balance between Good and Evil, Yin and Yang, Black and White, Hot and Cold, whatever you want to call it, they are always two opposing sides, fighting against each other.

But what happens when one of the two sides gains a power greater than themselves?

Can humans resist the temptation to rule with a superior power?

Can the supernatural being resistant to the pleasure of being above all those he believes to be weak?

But, can they have enough capacity to get that power? And not only that but can use it and keep it stable?

The answer is NO!

None of them can, because power has a conscience, power can destroy those who seek it only to destroy, to feel superior.

The one who created the Power did it with the mission to protect.

How strong is the desire to protect?

How strong is the desire to dominate?

How strong is the desire to destroy?

Look at your conscience to see what are your answers, but not only yours, see your surroundings, can they say the same?

<<< 'If you can see the darkness in people, you can rule over them' >>>

A few hours ago, the maid arrived with the report of the brutal murder of the right hand of the former leader.

As a matter of fact that, in the middle of the preparations for the funeral, someone entered one of the Clan's villas, was a lack of respect to the territorial Vampires, and more if it is an enemy that a century ago.

When Mara heard the name of the perpetrator 'Evan Rochester' she fainted almost immediately.

One ability that, the energy cloud inside her gives her, is being able to see the past through dreams, and as it has only been a day since she learned of the existence of that energy, and she doesn't have much information about it, she doesn't know what sort of abilities she can have, or even worse not know how to control them.

She is at a point where she must become strong regardless she wants to or not, because one day, those same abilities can cause her death.

For example, what happened to her a few hours ago, when she fainted and saw the past of who was the human 'Evan Rochester', an innocent human seeing all that at five years old, was too much. Watching his mother feed on his brother, hearing his father how delighted he was to taste his children's blood.

And what she saw sent chills down her spine.

"It would have been better not to have had that dream, sigh." Sighed Mara with slight fear, and that makes her remember her Mommy's corpse in her bed.

She shook her head so hard as if to get rid of all those negative feelings.

The dream was so vivid; she saw it from little Evan's perspective.

"But... why did I have to see his past? It's because I must..." after a pause she was about to say something else, but there was a knock at the door.

Knock, knock

He stopped all thought and said, "Come in."

The one who knocked on the door was Ursula, always on time (timely manner).

"Clan leader, are you alright?" said Ursula a bit nervously and with concern in her voice, because she felt how the little Clan leader's emotions were distraught.

"Hmm, I'm fine, the preparations?" she said with a stern face and a neutral tone ignoring her concern and nervousness, but as always, her face being so cute, she could not have taken seriously.

Trying to hide her smile Ursula said, "Yes, everything is ready, we were just waiting for you to wake up."

"Prepare the set of clothes for the ceremony, I'll take a shower." Little Mara said as she got out of bed and headed for the bathroom door.

"As you wish, Clan Leader," Ursula said respectfully, giving a slight bow, and turned to leave the room.

…

After Mara came out of the bathroom, on her bed was a red princess-style dress. The neckline was lace up to the neck.

Accompanying it were silver pumps with a three-centimeter heel and gold accessories with silver accents.

Every outfit whether it is formal, casual, and for any occasion should have the Leaders' back completely covered.

Taking these guidelines into consideration, all clothing is handmade by the special tailor who serves only the Clan Leader.

Today was not only the funeral but also the Clan Leader's takeover Ceremony.

On such an important day she must not miss it. The Council of Elders has tried to make her hurry, kicking the chair close to him with his foot, because the wait one of them exclaims, "This event is very important, what is the so-called new Clan Leader doing? Doesn't she want to be part of the ceremony?"

Another Elder couldn't help but comment in kind, "If she doesn't want to be part of it, we can look for someone else!"

Another quarrelsome Elder said, "We have Miss Sonia, she is well qualified to be the next Leader."

They want to make use of a puppet to gain power.

But many do not forget that she's only a 7-year-old girl. 'Making use of her age would be easier.' Many thought.

Others knew she could not carry the entire burden of the Clan on her shoulders, 'By making use of her weakness we can get what we want.'

The Council of Elders has had some power, they can even object to the decisions of the Clan Leader, as they have done for centuries, this time they are absolutely wrong if they think, they can do the same, because they do not count in their equations with two unforeseen individuals which one of them is next to her, Ursula, who after the baptism of the oath, day by day, she becomes stronger and stronger.

The other one is the Guardian who despite not being present, there is an aura around Mara, which makes her more dominant, even more than the previous Clan Leader Lana.

The guard at the entrance to the hall where the Ceremony will take place announced Mara's arrival, with the greatest respect and solemnity possible, despite being a seven-year-old girl, many Vampires of lower levels respect her.

She walked throughout the aisle, like a bride going to her groom.

"CLAN LEADER MARA makes her entry!"

The Low, medium and some high-level Vampires greet her in unison.

"HAIL CLAN LEADER MARA!"

Every step she took, it was as if there was a tightness in her breath. Giving an oppressive aura.
