(I'm going to assume that the Successor of the Blood is female, this scene takes place before Io finds her.)
"Owww...my head..."
You sat up and rubbed the back of your neck as your free hand felt around for something to balance on. The ground felt unnaturally cold, which was bizarre considering your bed was warm and fluffy. Maybe you fell onto the floor while tossing around?
"Excuse me," a voice from above said.
Wait. Above?
You looked up and went pale. Gazing down at you was the face of a hooded, white-haired girl with golden eyes and the most beautiful face you'd ever seen. For a moment, you were convinced she was some kind of otherworldly angel.
"Wha...how...? Who...?"
The giantess slowly reached down and petted the top of your head with her index finger, whispering words of comfort. Her voice was soft and held no malice whatsoever. Hell, you weren't even sure if she had any emotion.
"You're a human...aren't you?"
You blinked. Why was she asking? Aside from the gold eyes, you were pretty sure this girl was human too. Then you noticed she was wearing a gas mask with a cracked visor, and began to freak. You had read enough science fiction novels to know that when people did that, it typically meant that the air was not good to breathe, and you covered your mouth in a panic.
Sighing, the white-haired girl gently reached down and plucked you from the gravel, bringing you up so she could face you at eye-level.
"You aren't...who I was looking for..." She paused. "But something inside me...wants to keep you safe."
If you didn't know any better, you'd swear this girl was the most humanoid android ever created, given how she didn't seem to possess any sort of emotion whatsoever beyond her stoic expression. Swallowing, you speak up for the second time, but now with purpose.
"So...um...where exactly am I?"
"I don't know," the girl replies. "I woke up here myself a few minutes ago...I felt someone important nearby. The girl I'm supposed to watch over."
Okay, uh...you had several questions.
"Okay, but...I'm not a girl, I'm a guy...and my name is [Y/N]. What's yours?"
She shakes her head. "I don't know."
Well, that was helpful. Suddenly, her gaze shifts in the direction of...a white tree? And lying at the foot of its roots was a pink-haired girl wearing some kind of tattered cloak...
Before you could say anything, the giantess had already arrived at her side, with you safely in her grasp. Slowly, the stranger began to stir and her eyes fluttered open, meeting those of your beautiful savior-slash-weirdo.
"W-who...?" The girl stuttered, gripping her forehead as suddenly, her eyes began to pulse with a sinister red glow, and she groaned in pain. Without a word, the giantess you were with reached up to the tree and removed a weird red fruit-like object from its branches, handing it to the girl.
"Eat this..."
The girl extended a shaking hand and took the object from the hooded stranger, looking at it for a moment before opening her mouth and...wait, fangs?
Holy shit, a vampire?!
She plunged her teeth into the object, and the red liquid that you now saw floating around in it was quickly drained until all that remained was a shriveled-up husk. She panted for a few moments, wiping her mouth before looking at her savior...and by extension, you.
"...Yumi," she said. "That's my name...Yumi."
The white-haired girl nodded.
